"What if Ah-Qiang's mother gets upset and cries because of a customer while working at the state-run restaurant? What if she accidentally messes things up?"
“People outside won’t pamper her and protect her like we do at home… Sigh, I’m worried about Ah Qiang’s mom.”
Chen Suwen quietly watched He Caiying's performance while munching on sunflower seeds, while Ye Yulian beside her sneered, "So, in the end, you just don't want your daughter-in-law to go out and work?"
"You just want to take her job?"
After being reminded by Chen Suwen, Ye Yulian realized that He Caiying's reputation as a good mother-in-law was somewhat exaggerated.
Although a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions, He Caiying is hardly a gentleman.
She was indeed kind to Zhang Hongxue, but that doesn't mean her kindness made Zhang Hongxue feel comfortable.
Look at Zhang Hongxue now, isn't he just trying to escape this "good" situation?
Besides, is she really as good to her daughter-in-law as the rumors suggest?
He has never criticized his daughter-in-law.
I don't think so.
Otherwise, why would she have been belittling her daughter-in-law, saying she couldn't do anything right and should just be a useless little good-for-nothing who would be pampered by others?
“A-Tong’s mom, what you just said made A-Qiang’s mom sound like a good-for-nothing. What? Has she never accomplished anything in her life?” Chen Suwen looked at Zhang Hongxue with surprise.
Zhang Hongxue's face immediately turned red.
"I didn't! I'm not!"
How could she have accomplished nothing?
She was lucky, but she had always had good grades in school; she didn't finish high school just because of luck.
She had genuinely good grades in school; it wasn't just luck that she got high scores.
She wasn't completely idle when she was at her parents' home. Although her parents doted on her, she still did housework such as washing clothes, washing dishes, and cleaning.
Perhaps her parents didn't intend for her to acquire skills that would leave her unable to take care of herself after leaving home.
They just thought that their daughter wasn't as important as their son. Even if she was lucky, she was still their own flesh and blood, and it was only right for them to treat her like a servant.
But her parents made her do chores so that she wouldn't really be a useless little brat.
Actually, she used to complain about why she had to work when she was a child. But after she got married and moved to the Sun family, she didn't have to do anything and was even glad that she had found a good family.
Her judgment was right; the man she married was indeed a good one.
But after a long time, she became increasingly insecure and uncomfortable because people told her she couldn't do anything right and that she shouldn't do it.
She gets criticized for not doing a good job even when she washes the dishes, and she's told she doesn't know how to take care of her child when she tries to get close to him.
This kind of life made her increasingly uneasy and uncomfortable, and she wanted to escape from this constraint.
"I can do housework, I'm not a useless piece of trash who can't do anything! I'm going to work!"
Under the watchful eyes of her neighbors on Guangming Road, Zhang Hongxue mustered the courage to speak out about her thoughts.
She didn't want to be a useless person who couldn't do anything.
Being pampered is nice, but she doesn't want to be useless.
