Chapter 7 Can't Leave
"I don't have any salary, how can this be calculated?"
Shen Ru was very confused.
Chen Baomei glanced at her and asked her to watch carefully.
"Qionghua, listen carefully too. It might be useful in the future."
Lu Qionghua nodded blankly.
Chen Baomei began her calculations. "You started working full-time when Qiqi was six months old, so it's been fifteen years now. If you hadn't resigned, based on your previous salary of 4,300 yuan per month, that would be 774,000 yuan over fifteen years. This doesn't even include the performance bonus that increases with years of service. Your former colleagues, even the worst-paid ones, are now making 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per month. Adding all that up, it's more than one million yuan."
Shen Ru never thought that she could earn so much if she didn't quit her job.
Millions! She couldn't even imagine it.
If Jiang Tianming hadn't asked her to resign, she would have earned a lot.
Shen Ru said a little embarrassedly, “But Mom, I haven’t been working for a long time.”
"Don't be impatient."
Chen Baomei found a piece of paper and wrote down the calculated numbers.
He continued, "Now calculate the value of you returning to your family. If you go back to work, you'll be faced with a situation where no one will take care of the children and the elderly. At this time, you and Jiang Tianming will need to hire two nannies to help take care of them. Nannies for infants and young children are more expensive. If you calculate it at 5,000 yuan per month, and raise them until they are six years old and start elementary school, that would be 360,000 yuan."
After she turned six, she needed not only care but also homework help. Kiki never had a tutor, and you've been the one teaching her all these years. Elementary school fees are lower, but middle school tutoring fees are quite high. I remember your second uncle's granddaughter taking math tutoring classes, and each class cost 400 yuan. Four times a month, two hours each time, that's 3,200 yuan, and that's just for one subject. Let's simplify it a bit and assume a minimum monthly salary of 4,000 yuan from elementary school to middle school. That's 480,000 yuan over ten years.
Your mother-in-law has always claimed that she's in poor health and needs care, and you've been taking care of her all these years. While nanny fees aren't as high as childcare costs, they've been rising over the years. A few years ago, I didn't know, but now good nannies make 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. If we calculate it at an average of 6,000 yuan per month, that's 1.08 million yuan over 15 years.
The total is 1.92 million, nearly two million. You said you didn't create value for the Jiang family, then who did all this?
Shen Ru and Lu Qionghua were dumbfounded.
Lu Qionghua's eyes sparkled, "Sister, you're amazing! You earn more without a job than when you're working!"
Shen Ru couldn't believe that she could earn so much money.
Chen Baomei said, "That's because your eldest sister has to juggle multiple roles: nanny, babysitter, and also take care of the children's education. Qiqi is one of the best students in our city's high school, and that's all thanks to your eldest sister. She has excellent teaching abilities, but is confined to her family. If she were to go out to a training institution, with Qiqi as her living sign, your eldest sister would definitely be in high demand, and she'd earn much more than this."
Affirming your daughter's value will prevent her from belittling herself.
Think about it, Shen Ru also went to college. If she hadn't been stuck in her family for too long, it would never be her turn as an old lady to tell her these simple truths.
Shen Ru felt embarrassed after hearing this.
"I had a parent-teacher conference for Kiki before, and many parents asked me how I teach Kiki. A few even wanted to send their children to me for tutoring during the holidays, and they said I'd pay for it. Unfortunately, I have to take care of that old hag, so I don't have the time, so I had to decline."
It is indeed embarrassing to praise yourself.
Shen Ru said this until she blushed.
Chen Baomei, however, was very supportive and said, "Look, this is the value of your elder sister!"
Lu Qionghua clapped her hands, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cooperated perfectly.
"so......"
Chen Baomei changed the subject, "If you want to divorce Jiang Tianming, you must divide the property!"
"Mom, will others gossip about me?"
Shen Ru was still a little worried.
"Will you lose a piece of meat if others gossip about you? It's not you who's wrong, so let them gossip. You're not RMB, so everyone will like you. Besides, there are some people in the world who don't care about money."
"If you don't want the property, where will you live after the divorce? You can go back to your parents' home, but I'm old and will definitely die before you. When the house is divided, where will you live?"
"Mom, you're still young. Don't mention death. It's unlucky."
"It's just an analogy."
She has died once, in such a miserable way, so what is she afraid of?
Shen Ru made up her mind, "Okay, for my efforts and my contributions to that family, I won't stop until I've skinned Jiang Tianming alive!"
Chen Baomei laughed, "This is a normal way of thinking!"
After the matter was settled, Chen Baomei contacted her eldest son Shen Qin and asked him to recommend a reliable divorce lawyer.
Shen Qin was surprised to learn that his brother-in-law was cheating on his sister and that she wanted a divorce.
In less than an hour, all three of Chen Baomei's sons came back.
The first person to enter was Chen Baomei’s second son Shen Ming, who was also Lu Qionghua’s husband.
As soon as he walked in, Shen Ming loudly asked Shen Ru what was going on.
When Chen Baomei heard her son's voice, she gritted her teeth and couldn't help shaking.
In her previous life, it was Shen Ming who had been the first to ask her for money. He had first coaxed her into giving him half a million yuan, saying he wanted to expand his car repair shop. When her eldest son, Shen Qin, and her youngest son, Shen Rui, found out, they naturally felt uneasy. Chen Baomei, upholding the principle of fairness, gave each of them half a million yuan. She also gave her youngest daughter, who worked in Shanghai, half a million yuan.
Later, her three sons used various excuses to squeeze out all the more than 9 million yuan she received after the divorce.
The small two-bedroom resettlement house she lived in was deceived by Shen Ming into being used as collateral. Later, she could not pay the money back and had no place to live. At first, her three sons and their family lived in the house for three months, and then they were forced to rent a house outside.
She had nothing in her hands, and her sons did not come to curry favor with her. Instead, they went to get close to their stingy father, Grandet, Shen Xingguo.
Chen Baomei has always been positive and optimistic. She has come through hard times, and she doesn't think it's a big deal to go back to hard times.
What made her angry was that she was sick and couldn't get out of bed, and her three sons took turns to take care of her. When it was the turn of the second son, Shen Ming, he was instigated by his later wife and deliberately starved her to death!
As for the other two sons, they didn't even think of visiting her in the rental house on New Year's Eve.
Let her fend for herself in the cold rental house!
She gave birth to three sons and two daughters, but eventually starved to death.
How sad.
Shen Ru told her that Jiang Tianming had cheated on her and had designed a plan to make her serve his lover.
Shen Qin and Shen Rui both support Shen Ru's divorce.
"Sister, Jiang Tianming is hurting you like this, it's best to leave as soon as possible. I've found a lawyer for you, and I won't let you suffer any loss."
The eldest brother, Shen Qin, works in the court and knows many lawyers.
The third brother, Shen Rui, was also indignant, "Jiang Tianming is really a piece of shit!"
He wished he could beat Jiang Tianming up right away.
Both of her brothers agreed to her divorce, and Shen Ru felt relieved.
She has no job and is not financially independent, so the support from her family makes her feel a lot better.
The second brother, Shen Ming, frowned and looked disapproving.
"Sister, this marriage cannot be divorced!"
