Zhang Dahua didn't want to waste so much effort only to get nothing in return, so she immediately worked with her to come up with a solution.

"How about this: if you have a son after this baby is born, ask your mother-in-law for a house."

"If it's a daughter, ask your mother-in-law for something too."

After all, when her sisters-in-law gave birth to daughters, Granny Zhu had also given them gifts.

Give me at least a thousand yuan.

If she doesn't give it to me, then I'll get a divorce.

Unlike the traditional women in the village, Zhang Dahua didn't believe in divorce even if things couldn't go on.

She felt that if she didn't benefit from the marriage, then it was over.

She only cares about the benefits.

Especially since Sheng Jinjin is still young and has a decent job, even if she divorces and remarries, she can still marry well.

"At worst, I can find someone with a house later, not someone with so many sons. If you marry him, you can live in a house right away, and that will make you look good."

If I work hard enough, I might be able to buy my own house.

Sheng Jinjin thought, "If I had a house, I could marry someone better."

It's all Sheng Yueqing's fault. She gave away so many houses as compensation, but wouldn't even give her one. She's so stingy.

They say they'll charge 30 yuan less per square meter, but 100 square meters adds up to quite a bit of money.

Zhang Dahua also said, "She's heartless and ungrateful; we can't count on her."

"Besides, she's got a lot of presence right now, we can't afford to mess with her, so we'd better not provoke her."

She also wanted to take advantage of Sheng Yueqing, but judging from Sheng Yueqing's methods, she always felt that if she angered her, Sheng Yueqing would come after them.

She was afraid of dying, so she didn't provoke anyone.

Sheng Jinjin was very unwilling.

"Twelve houses, giving me one won't hurt her."

Just thinking about it makes my wallet ache.

Sheng Jinjin came up with another plan.

"Even though she won't give us the houses, we're still family. If people know my sister owns twelve houses, I don't believe they won't look up to us?"

If I remarry in the future, I can bring it up.

Zhang Dahua thought this was a great idea.

"Okay, let's wait until the baby is born before making any plans."

They had already decided that they would continue living with the Zhu family as long as they could get benefits from it.

If it's still that difficult, then I'll give up.

They are the type to cause internal strife with others, but never with their own, which is why they live such a comfortable life.

Sheng Yueqing was unaware of their affair.

It was only when I returned to the town the following year that I heard about Sheng Jinjin's story.

Worry-free and joyful also arrived.

Xile, being very gossipy, asked, "What happened to Sheng Jinjin?"

The old women in the village said, "I heard that Sheng Jinjin gave birth to a girl after ten months of pregnancy, but her mother-in-law was not happy and the two had a big fight."

It is said that after Sheng Jinjingang gave birth to his daughter, Granny Zhu left without even glancing at her.

Sheng Jinjin had never received any favors from this old woman, and being treated so coldly naturally made her resentful.

When she got home, she planned to ask Granny Zhu for the money for the baby's one-month celebration.

Although the sisters-in-law who were the first to give birth to daughters all received a full-month celebration gift.

But when she got to her, Granny Zhu refused to give it to her.

Sheng Jinjin was furious and asked Zhu Laoshi directly, "What does your mother mean? Isn't your child a child?"

"Other women get a full-month celebration gift for their first child, why don't I?"

I don't even have a hundred yuan, let alone a thousand.

And they call themselves a wealthy family? They must be on the verge of bankruptcy.

Hearing her say that about her mother, Zhu Laoshi was also displeased. "Who told you to give birth to a daughter? If you had given birth to a son, my mother would have given him to you."

Sheng Jinjin got even angrier when she saw that he didn't help her and even blamed her.

"I gave birth to a daughter, and your nine sisters-in-law also gave birth to daughters, so why did they get red envelopes but I didn't? Are you looking down on me?"

Old Zhu retorted without thinking, "Can you compare to my sister-in-law? They are both from the city, and their family situations are better than yours. What do you have that you can't compare to them? How dare you ask for money?"

These words directly hit Sheng Jinjin's weak spot.

Sheng Jinjin suddenly became famous.

"Zhu Laoshi, what gives you the right to look down on me? You're a gigolo who can't even afford a dowry, and you even have to ask me for money for a pack of cigarettes. I must have been incredibly unlucky to marry you."

"No wonder no one wants you at your age. With a piece of trash like you, no one would want you!"

Zhu Laoshi's face turned red from being talked about.

He knew he wasn't capable, but no one had ever said it so directly before.

Especially since Sheng Jinjin's family background is far inferior to his, yet she still said such things about him.

Zhu Laoshi was also furious. "Don't think I don't know that you went to great lengths to marry me just for my family's wealth."

“I told you, all this property belongs to me, and you won’t get a single penny.”

Sheng Jinjin never expected that he would be so wary of her.

Not only did they refuse to give her a bride price, they also refused to give her any property.

"Okay, okay, okay."

"Since you look down on me and I look down on you, let's get a divorce!"

Zhu Laoshi was also furious, "Fine, let's get a divorce then."

The two went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce in a hurry.

Hearing the commotion, Granny Zhu hurriedly chased after them.

But we were too late.

The two have already obtained their divorce certificate.

When Sheng Jinjin saw Granny Zhu, she spat and said, "Your son eats my food, uses my things, and spends my money. In the end, I have to pay for his child. Anyone who marries into a family like yours, where sons are raised to be kept men, is doomed."

We're still outside right now, and there are lots of people coming and going.

Upon hearing Sheng Jinjin's words, everyone stopped to look at Granny Zhu.

Some people who knew Granny Zhu chuckled, "So it's the Zhu family. I thought they were a wealthy family. I didn't expect the son to be living off his wife's family."
