Xiao Jie's mother looked at Ye Qingqing gratefully. Everyone else was just watching the show and no one spoke up for her except Ye Qingqing.

She and Ye Qingqing were at most nodding acquaintances, and had never even spoken. However, she envied Ye Qingqing. She was young and beautiful, her husband was handsome and capable, and he doted on her. Even her mother-in-law was a kind person who treated her daughter-in-law like her own daughter.

All the women in the neighborhood envied and were jealous of Ye Qingqing. What woman wouldn't want to live a life of being pampered and cared for?

Unfortunately, most women not only fail to be little princesses in their parents' home, but also become super moms after marriage, having to worry about everything inside and outside the home.

She didn't want to become a stay-at-home housewife, because that would not only disconnect her from society, but also leave her with no status at home, where economic income determined her position within the family.

This is an undeniable fact. Many mothers in Xiaojie's company who went back to work after becoming full-time housewives did so because they had no status at home since they weren't earning money. The first year was fine; their husbands would understand their hardships. But as time went on, their husbands only felt disgusted.

Occasionally, when you buy expensive cosmetics or bags, your husband will intentionally or unintentionally say that earning money is hard and the pressure is too great. He clearly complains that you spend too much money and asks you to be more understanding of how hard he works to earn money.

Asking her husband for living expenses every month felt like begging. Women with a strong sense of self-respect couldn't stand that kind of life. So, after finally getting through the tough times until their children started kindergarten, the women all went out to find work, even if the money they earned wasn't enough to pay the nanny's salary.

Women only feel secure when they earn their own money, and only then can they stand tall in front of their men and in-laws, leaving themselves the best way out.

So her husband had previously asked her to quit her job and focus on taking care of the children, but Xiao Jie's mother disagreed and retorted to her husband: "You have a lower education level than me, but our incomes are about the same. It would be more suitable for you to quit your job."

There is no law that requires women to stay at home full-time to take care of children; men can do the same.

After Xiao Jie's mother said those words, her husband never mentioned quitting his job again. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Jie's mother worked even harder. She had to be more hardworking and better than her husband so that she could have a wider range of options in the future.

To put it bluntly, a marriage is purely a partnership. Since it's a partnership, there will inevitably be separations. If things don't go well together, then separation is necessary. She's always prepared for a divorce, and now that the conflict with her in-laws is getting deeper and deeper, her determination to get a divorce is growing stronger.

The old lady glared angrily at Ye Qingqing, "Where is my grandson short? Are you blind? You're just cursing my grandson for no reason. Is your son tall? He's a short, scrawny radish!"

Ye Qingqing was both amused and exasperated. "My little pig is only three years old this year, while your Xiao Jie is already five. Grandma, you can't make that comparison."

The old lady felt embarrassed, but she was still envious from the bottom of her heart. He was only three years old and already so tall and sturdy. He was really well raised. But her grandson was not bad either.

"My son Xiaojie grew up late, just like his father. My son only grew taller in high school, but now he's grown so well, he even got a doctorate, and he manages so many people. He's so successful," the old lady said proudly.

Her son is a capable person in the surrounding area of ​​their hometown village. Even the town mayor treats her with great respect and praises her for raising children well!

Ye Qingqing's lips twitched. She had met Xiao Jie's father a few times. His intelligence was definitely not a problem, but his height was definitely a major flaw. She estimated that he was at most 168 cm, maybe not even that, and he was not even as tall as her!
