Chapter 548: Daughter Reborn (3)

Zhou Lizhi married Chen Wenya as she wished. After she got married, she seemed to have no family around her and never came back. Zhou Zhiyuan was a little sad when he came back from school, but Cui Shichu soon arranged other things for him to do.

This time Zhou Lizhi did not marry Sun Jianshe, so Zhou Zhiyuan naturally would not go out and get hit by a car because of their quarrel and be seriously injured, ruining his life.

Speaking of which, Zhou Lizhi was gloatingly waiting for Zhou Zhiyuan to get into a car accident, waiting for Cui Shichu to come to her pitifully and beg her to borrow money. She had thought it through. When the time comes, she would definitely humiliate Cui Shichu, and use Cui Shichu's previous words of severing ties to shut her up and vent her anger!

But Zhou Lizhi waited and waited, but she never heard that Zhou Zhiyuan was hit by a car, nor did she wait for Cui Shichu to come to her house and beg for her help, which made her unhappy and disappointed.

But she soon stopped thinking about these things because her and Chen Wenya's hope of having separate rooms after their marriage was dashed.

Chen Wenya and Zhou Lizhi are both employees of the machinery factory. Unfortunately, they were not included in the housing allocation quota this time. The reason was very simple. They had worked for too short a time and were not eligible for housing. After all, there were people who had worked in the factory for more than ten or twenty years but still did not get a house. They had only worked for three to five years, so they could forget about it.

The housing quotas are fiercely sought after every year. It is impossible to make an exception without connections or great contributions to the factory. Although Chen Wenya is a "promising young man" in the factory with a bright future, he has no family background after all, so naturally he has to wait for a housing quota with others.

"Are we really not included in the housing allocation this time?" Zhou Lizhi asked in disbelief, grabbing Chen Wenya's arm.

Chen Wenya shook his head with a depressed look on his face: "No."

"Why? We are both working couples, why don't you give us a room?" Zhou Lizhi was very dissatisfied.

"Are dual-income couples so great? There are so many dual-income couples in our factory, but many of them still don't get a house. Our director said that the houses must be allocated first to those old employees who have worked for a long time. We have only been working for a few years and are not eligible at all. Let's just wait!" Chen Wenya said as he impatiently pushed Zhou Lizhi's hand away.

Zhou Lizhi panicked: "But if we don't have separate rooms, where will we live?"

"Where will you live? Live with your parents! You have lived well here during the time you have been married, so just continue living there in the future." Chen Wenya said indifferently. Although he also hoped that he could get a house earlier, he was not too disappointed if he didn't, after all, it was not bad for him to live at home.

But Zhou Lizhi is different. After she married Chen Wenya, she thought that the factory would provide her with a house, and then they could live a sweet life together. But now her dreams have been shattered, and she has to continue living in the cramped and messy Chen family's house. How can she bear this?

She had no objection to living there before because she had the hope of getting a separate room, so she could still endure it. But now that this hope is gone, she suddenly finds it unbearable.

"We are all married, but still living with our parents and brothers. Isn't that inappropriate?" Zhou Lizhi said unhappily with a frown.

"What's wrong with it? Living at home in a lively and lively environment is just the same, isn't it? Do you have any other ideas?" Chen Wenya asked.

"...No." Zhou Lizhi was left speechless by his words.

So Zhou Lizhi had no choice but to continue to live in a house of only more than 50 square meters with Chen Wenya's family. Chen Wenya has three older sisters, all of whom are married, but he still has two younger brothers, so now the family of six lives together, and his two younger brothers are 17 or 18 years old. They will also get married in a few years. If they still can't get a house by then, it will be even more crowded.

Even if the two younger brothers don't get married so soon, Zhou Lizhi and Chen Wenya will have children, so it will still be crowded.

Zhou Lizhi had never lived in a house with such poor conditions. When she was at her mother's house, there were only three people in her family, and the house they were allocated was big enough for them to live comfortably in a room each. What's more, Cui Shichu would clean the house every day and make it tidy, so it looked spacious and bright, which made people feel comfortable.

Zhou Lizhi never thought how important it was to keep the house clean and tidy before, but after living in the crowded Chen family, she soon couldn't stand it anymore, because Chen's mother was sloppy and lazy, the house was a mess, and with four grown men, the smell on their bodies when it was hot was simply unbearable!

She didn't expect that not everything would be fine after she married Chen Wenya. The housing problem alone was a heavy blow to her.

Then, she had to do housework. When she was at her parents' home, Cui Shichu took care of all the housework. Zhou Lizhi was like a young lady and didn't even have to wash dishes. In her previous life, she married Sun Jianshe. Sun's mother was also a clean and hardworking person. Although she would order Zhou Lizhi to do work, Zhou Lizhi refused to do it. Sun's mother had no choice but to do it herself. After Sun's mother passed away, Zhou Lizhi's own daughter grew up and took over the housework.

So it can be said that even though Zhou Lizhi did not live a rich life in her previous life, she did not suffer much hardship in life. She did not need to be responsible for household chores, and it was Sun Jianshe's job to make money to support the family. She only needed to take care of her own business. Even so, she still did not know how to appreciate what she had. She was too vain and greedy, but she did not have the ability to change, so she was unwilling to live an ordinary life. She complained that her husband and children were useless, and felt that she had lived a depressed life.

But now that she is married into the Chen family, her mother will not spoil her anymore. In her mother's eyes, a daughter-in-law is married to do housework and take care of the family. Her son is so outstanding, he is worthy of any high-ranking official's daughter. Zhou Lizhi only has a face but an ordinary family background. She is not worthy of her son at all. She is honored to marry into the Chen family, so doesn't she have to do housework tirelessly?

So Zhou Lizhi lived a life of misery. Every day when she got home from get off work, Chen's mother would immediately start to command her: "Look how long has it been since you swept the floor? Zhou Lizhi, sweep it right away, don't be lazy all the time!"

"Zhou Lizhi, why didn't you wash Wenya's clothes? If you don't wash your own man's clothes, who else do you want to wash them for? You are such a lazy woman!"

"Zhou Lizhi! The sun is already shining on your butt, why don't you get up and make breakfast?!"

"Zhou Lizhi, hurry to the kitchen and cook! If you don't cook, do you expect an old woman like me to cook for you?!"

…

Whenever she had to endure the smoke and fire in the kitchen, Zhou Lizhi would involuntarily think of her previous life. She almost never had to enter the kitchen at Sun's house. All the housework was done by Sun's mother. She only needed to go to work every day. In fact, it was as comfortable as being at her parents' home.

Was it actually very happy at that time? No, no, I can't think like that. How could marrying Sun Jianshe be better than marrying Chen Wenya? Sun Jianshe is just a loser. He will not even be a worker after being laid off. Chen Wenya is a young talent. She will definitely have a bright future. How can I compare Sun Jianshe with Chen Wenya? This is an insult to Chen Wenya!

She is suffering now for the sake of future happiness, first bitter then sweet! Zhou Lizhi can only comfort herself in this way.
