“Just give a hand, help my sister get the kids to and from school, cook and eat for the kids, even if they don’t eat here we still have to cook, two more people is just two more sets of dishes, they are still kids and don’t eat much.”
“Consider it a favor, we have been married for many years, this little favor, you are willing to help me are you not?”
Zhou Honglin’s voice was gentle, and he looked at Hai Ling as he spoke, playing the emotion card even more.
“My sister said she won’t let you work for nothing, she will give you a thousand dollars every month, I also said last time that I would give you an extra thousand and a half a month for living expenses, plus the thousand dollars my sister gave you, you have an extra two thousand and a half dollars a month, that’s good.”
Hai Ling even wanted to laugh.
Exasperated by Zhou Honglin and his big aunt’s thoughts.
A thousand dollars and they wanted her to take two children to and from school, cook three meals a day for them, plus tutor their homework?
“Zhou Honglin, do you think a thousand yuan is big?”
“The food, accommodation and use don’t cost you anything, my sister is giving you a thousand yuan for nothing, you can save it as your private money, is it still too little? If you think it’s too little, I’ll give you another thousand dollars to add.”
Hai Ling interrupted him and said, “Zhou Honglin, didn’t I make it clear enough last time? I said, that is not my child, I cannot be responsible for it. Besides, I also have something to tell you, I have found a job today and I will go to work tomorrow.” One second to remember
“Yang Yang is all for my sister to look after for me, I even have to ask my sister to help me with my own son, how can I have the time how can I have the leisure to look after someone else’s child?”
At these words, Zhou Honglin blackened his face and said to her, “What kind of class are you going to? How old is Yang Yang? I can’t even leave my mother, do I lack your food or your clothes? You’re going to work?”
“It’s my freedom to go to work, my sister can take care of Yang Yang for me, but you’re short of food and clothes, Zhou Honglin, I’ve had enough! Do you really think I can’t earn enough money to feed myself?”
“Don’t you as well as your family think that I only know how to eat and don’t know how to earn money? Your mother and your sister even scolded me, saying that I was useless even after all those books, that I couldn’t earn any money, that I was just a useless person! If it wasn’t for Yang Yang, do you think I would have let you all step on me and press me?”
“Zhou Honglin, I was really stupid, foolish to believe that you could support me, hehe, look at my hair, it’s still black and oily, not a single grey hair, I’m still young enough, you haven’t supported me for the rest of my life yet! But in three years’ time, you’ll have to aa with me.”
“You know full well that all my previous savings have been paid out to renovate this house, you know full well that I am at home with the baby and have no source of income, you still want to aa with me, Zhou Honglin, don’t you just want to force me to go out and work, I’ll go out and work as you wish!”
“For the rest of my life, I will never believe half of what you say!”
Zhou Honglin’s face was dark as he said, “I’m still not forced by you, you spend money without any restraint ……”
“How have I spent money without restraint? What have I bought with your money? My skin care products, all bought for me by Hai Tong, my jewellery, bags, all bought by myself before I got married, after the wedding, how long has it been since I bought new clothes?”
“Just last time, in order to make a good impression on Zhan Yin, all three of us bought new clothes as a family, spending a thousand or so dollars, and we were chided by you and your family until now, scolding me for being a loser and spending money recklessly.”
“After the wedding, I spent money, all on this little family, on you and Yang Yang, I was frugal to myself, generous to your father and son, and to be told by you that I had no restraint in spending money, that I forced you to aa system to control my spending money.”
“Zhou Honglin, are your eyes blind or is your heart black? How can you say such things, does your conscience not hurt? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”
Zhou Honglin was rendered speechless by Hai Ling’s questioning.
After a long time, he said, “Hai Ling, can we cancel the aa system? Don’t go to work, take care of Yang Yang first, and go back to work when Yang Yang goes to kindergarten.”
“I think it’s fine to have the aa system now, there’s no need to cancel it, let’s just live on like this. You don’t have to say anything else either, even if you give me 10,000 yuan a month for living expenses now, I’m going to work.”
She was looking for a job to make herself financially independent for a divorce to fight for custody of her son.
Never again would she listen to his bullsh*t.
