Chapter 1432: Honest Woman 15
"She eats my food, drinks my drinks, wears my clothes, uses my things, and in the end she wants to take charge of my home and cheat me out of my hard-earned money. Tell me, what's the right?"
"Humph, anyway, I won't hand over my salary. At worst, I'll divorce Zhou Dabao."
Yuanchun kept talking and exaggerating, making herself appear to be the one who was most wronged.
Aunt Zhang is already 40 years old. She got married early and had children early. Her son just got married a few months ago and she is also a new mother-in-law.
She knew that a large number of women, after becoming mothers-in-law, would act like mothers-in-law, bully their daughters-in-law, and try every possible means to control their daughters-in-law in order to maintain their position as mistress of the home and continue to control the family.
Almost every family has to hand over the daughter-in-law's salary to her mother-in-law, but usually only a portion of it is used for food expenses, and not all of it.
All of it has been handed over, what will the daughter-in-law spend it on?
It's impossible for a woman not to spend money.
All of them have been handed in, and from now on you have to buy things with your palms facing up, and life will be really hard.
The money is controlled by the mother-in-law, and the daughter-in-law has lost her status in the family.
Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law also has a job, and she also requires her daughter-in-law to hand over her salary, but also to pay a part of the living expenses and food expenses. The daughter-in-law can't just marry into her husband's family and eat and drink for free, letting the whole family support her alone, while she has to keep all the salary for herself.
That doesn't make sense.
But it doesn’t make sense to hand over all wages.
Why should they hand over all the money they have worked so hard to earn?
Aunt Zhang looked at her sympathetically, "Your mother-in-law is indeed unreasonable, but you don't really want a divorce, do you? You've just gotten pregnant, and there's still a long time to live. If you want a divorce, what will happen to the baby in your belly?"
Yuanchun shed a tear and choked up, "I have a feeling that this baby I'm carrying will be a daughter. My parents-in-law and Zhou Dabao both favor boys over girls. I will definitely not leave my daughter in the Zhou family. I will take my daughter away. After I get divorced, I want to sell this job. I will take care of the child in the future, so I won't be able to go to work for a few years."
Aunt Zhang exclaimed, "Oh, if you sell your job, how will you live in the future? You still have to raise children. You should think twice about this. You can't sell your job easily."
Yuanchun said pitifully, "I am a formal employee and can earn 600 yuan. This money can support me and my children for several years even if I don't work."
She didn't plan to tell anyone about the translation certificate for the time being.
If it gets out, people will get jealous and it will cause her trouble.
"Aunt Zhang, if my parents-in-law didn't force me to hand over all my salary and didn't force my Dabao to divorce, I wouldn't want to get divorced. In this era, divorced women have a bad reputation and their lives will be very difficult. I...I got married with great difficulty, and I won't let it break up easily unless it is absolutely necessary."
Aunt Zhang nodded. "Yes, you can't divorce easily. A woman needs to spend a few years getting used to living with her husband's family after getting married. It will pass if she endures it."
"Well, I know, as long as my parents-in-law don't go too far, I will endure it."
Yuanchun said this while wiping away tears.
The machines on this production line run 24 hours a day and cannot be separated from people. Everyone must stay at their posts at noon and eat the dry food they bring if they are hungry.
After Yuanchun became pregnant, her appetite increased greatly, but she couldn't stand being hungry, as she would feel dizzy if she was hungry.
It was just noon when her stomach started to growl. She felt a little uncomfortable with hunger. She took out a cornmeal steamed bun with wild vegetables and took a bite along with some pickles.
