There are many mouths to feed at home. Except for the grandson, all the others are adults with big appetites. They use a large scoop to scoop potatoes into their own bowls, one scoop per person, and half of the big bowl of potatoes is finished. Chen Guilan's heart aches when she sees this.

"Honghong, have you talked to your boss about what I told you this morning?" Chen Guilan asked Ge Hong.

After she finished speaking, she took a bite of the steamed bun in her hand, but her eyes were fixed on Ge Hong, waiting for her reply.

When the eldest son and his wife just returned to the city, Ge Hong paid 2 yuan a month in rent to the family. In the third year, it increased to 3 yuan. The year before last, Dayong's salary increased by another 1 yuan. At the end of last year, Dayong was made a regular employee and his salary increased by another 5 yuan. Chen Guilan also increased Ge Hong's rent to 5 yuan.

This time, Chen Guilan asked her to pay for half a year, which was thirty yuan.

She was silently calculating in her mind.

Dayong's monthly salary is 36.8 yuan now. After deducting the 22 yuan per month for food expenses for a family of three, there is still 14.8 yuan left. Ge Hong used to use her own rent to make paper boxes, and if it was not enough, she would ask Dayong to pay for it. After that, the couple only had about ten yuan left.

Sometimes Chen Guilan also asked them to buy some vinegar and vegetables, and after deducting the money they needed to buy shoes, socks, and cloth for their family of three throughout the year, as well as the children's tuition, they would basically have no money left at the end of the year.

But that was in the past. Now Ge Hong has gone out to find a job, and her monthly salary during the probation period is 28 yuan. Chen Guilan can't let them hold so much money.

She knew that her son had collected more than 200,000 yuan from his wife's parents, and that if the couple had some money, it was certain that Ge Hong would use the money to support her parents' family.

Many people at home pricked up their ears, waiting for Ge Hong's reply.

Ge Hong was holding her breath, she looked up and said calmly, "I haven't received my salary advance, and I'm not going to rent your house anymore. These past few years have been too hard, and I'm not going to bear it anymore. Dayong used to give me living expenses, and I fulfilled my wife's obligations and gave birth to a son for him, so we're even now. I won't live with him anymore, I'll give Yangyang to you, and if you don't want him, I can take him away."

As soon as Ge Hong said this, everyone who was eating froze.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you possessed by evil spirits?"

Dayong stared at his wife with eyes wide open.

Ge Hong sighed. Dayong was a man with a relatively good temper. Over the years, they had hardly ever had a fight. When they got married, he didn't have any money, so there was no gift or wedding banquet. He just bought himself a new dress, and she went over with a bag.

In the years since she followed him back to the city, Ge Hong has not been happy nor felt blessed. In all these years, she has never been back to her parents' home once. Not having money is one thing, but she also has no face to go back because she owes debts to her parents' home.

Especially being treated differently by her husband's family and being regarded as an outsider, Ge Hong felt very uncomfortable as her husband Dayong had no opinion at all. He also felt that he was an outsider.

Just like what Boss Xiao Qiao and Liu Zhizhi said, she can feel wronged, but her parents' home doesn't owe her anything, so she is really a money-loser.

I lost money raising it, got no return at all, and even lost so much money.

She can't live a happy life. Instead of taking care of her parents, she runs to the landlord's house to rent a high-priced house, to give birth to a son for him, and to serve his family.

Ge Hong looked at Dayong seriously, "I'm not possessed by evil spirits. What I said is true. When I was with you before, there was no betrothal gift or wedding ceremony. In our countryside, this is called living together. If you can live together, then live together. If you don't want to live together anymore, then break up. I just don't want to live together anymore now."

"Dayong, let's break up."
