People are truly incomparable; a horse needs a saddle, it's all fate! It seems my son isn't good enough for Chen Hong. He just got divorced, and less than a year later, Chen Hong has already made her fortune.

He has been with his son for almost six years, farming about ten acres of land in the village. It was he who dragged Chen Hong down, insisting that Chen Hong not go out to sea to fish.

Look at Chen Hong. After her divorce, she took charge of her own life and earned enough to buy two houses just by fishing. Now she can rest easy, knowing her grandson wouldn't suffer with his mother.

Aunt Wang also pursed her lips and said, "Such a good daughter-in-law, and your family still let her go? Are you stupid? But your current daughter-in-law is quite pretty. Didn't you say she works at a hotel?"

She dresses up beautifully all day long, but doesn't put in any effort. This job is pretty good, the salary is high, the job is respectable, and she's much better off than most people.

Try to think positively, that's life! Hasn't your daughter-in-law remarried? Has she been raising the child alone all this time?

Yu Zhaohua shook her head, "She's not married. This child is probably working. She goes out to sea to fish every day and earns ten or twenty thousand yuan each time she goes out to sea."

Look, it's only been less than a year since the divorce, and not only did they spend hundreds of thousands to build a three-story villa in their hometown, but they also bought a new house in this community in Jinan sometime ago.

"It's definitely for the child's future schooling. Look how shrewd this child is! My grandson is only six years old, and he's already prepared a house for his future schooling."

Aunt Wang said enviously, "Oh my, the houses in this community are so expensive. I heard that you can't even buy one for more than 6,000 yuan per square meter. Your ex-daughter-in-law must have spent 600,000 to 700,000 yuan to buy a house here!"

Are they really that good at making money? Plus a villa in the village, wow, they've made over a million.

She earns more than any man! Your son and his wife haven't earned this much, have they? Tsk tsk, what bad luck! They're destined to be poor!

Old Yu awkwardly fell silent, truly a man without good fortune. His daughter-in-law was now eight months pregnant, her belly as big as a watermelon.

I was transferred to back-office work by the hotel a long time ago; my salary was reduced, and the work wasn't easy either.

These past few months, she's been in a bad mood and often throws tantrums at home, which frightens Mr. Yu so much that he tries to stay away from home whenever his daughter-in-law is there.

Fortunately, he has been here for a while now and has gotten to know a few old friends in the neighborhood, so he still has a place to visit and hide away for a while.

After having dinner at home that evening, I went to my own room to sleep and didn't get involved in the young couple's argument.

Anyway, the son has a way with words, sometimes acting like a dog and sometimes like a cat, and he can coax his wife back in no time. But if the son is around, he becomes too reserved and can't coax his wife properly.

Sigh, when will this ever end? Yu Zhaohua is hoping his daughter-in-law will give birth soon; he wouldn't mind if she gave birth now.

He was worried for the young couple. Their bickering and fighting was just the beginning; there wouldn't be a harmonious and joyful atmosphere at home until the child was old enough to understand.

Back home, Old Man Yu quickly cleaned the house and tidied the kitchen. The young couple had left early that morning, and the dishes were still soaking in the sink. By the time he finished cleaning, it was already ten o'clock.

Yu Zhaohua quickly carried the quilt from her son's bed to the balcony to air it out.

This morning, my daughter-in-law asked us to air out their quilts, as she is pregnant and sweats a lot, so the quilts are always damp.

It's not even that hot yet, but I'm already sweating so much. I'm only covered by a thin blanket, and I'm soaked with sweat.

She'll be giving birth in two months, right in the middle of summer, which will make things even worse for both mother and child. If the daughter-in-law is in a bad mood and doesn't recover well during her postpartum period, there will be constant trouble in the family.

After airing out the quilts, they did the laundry. Luckily, Yu Hai washed all of his daughter-in-law's clothes, while Yu Zhaohua only washed her own and her son's clothes and sheets.

My son got married and we bought a washing machine. Although I can't leave him alone while he's washing clothes, after washing they have to be taken out and spun dry in the spin dryer, then put back into the washing tub, and the water has to be changed again. It takes two or three times to finish washing the clothes.

This is much easier than when he first arrived and had to hand wash the clothes. His daughter-in-law even complained that the clothes he washed were not good enough, saying things like, "Why don't you separate the inner and outer layers?" or "Why don't you separate the different fabrics?"

Yu Zhaohua thought to himself, as if he were willing to wash his daughter-in-law's clothes. As a father-in-law, wouldn't it be awkward for him to wash his daughter-in-law's clothes?

Yu Zhaohua ate a simple lunch of clear soup noodles and pickled vegetables she bought at the market.

Yu Zhaohua then thought of Chen Hong's pickled cucumbers. But pickled vegetables can't compare to each other. This eight-treasure pickled vegetable tastes strongly of MSG. Eating too much of it makes one feel nauseous.

The son did leave himself some living expenses, but cooking for one person is too wasteful of oil, salt, and gas.

My son doesn't earn much money either. He spent a lot on the bride price, renovations, and the wedding banquet recently, and now he's in debt.

Keep it simple, one person can eat lunch alone. Let's save money for our son if we can! The baby will be a major expense after birth.

Now that my daughter-in-law has changed jobs, she eats dinner at home. If I make dinner a little more substantial, he can also benefit from it and get some extra nutrition.

When Chen Hong arrived at the community property management company, she waited for more than half an hour before she finally saw Liu Moumou, who arrived late. Chen Hong's eyes widened when she saw her!

My God, this is outrageous! How did I get involved with this woman?

Upon seeing Chen Hong's expression, Liu became very arrogant and smug, and then carefully examined Chen Hong.

The homeowner was a woman whose beauty rivaled hers, and whose cleavage was far more impressive, at least two sizes larger.

Although she wasn't wearing any designer clothes, her simple white shirt, straight-leg jeans, and black high-heeled shoes made her look even more youthful and vibrant than she did.
