He spoke as if it were perfectly natural, and didn't see anything wrong with it.
He even felt that this was the proper thing to do, and perhaps he would get angry if Mo Yan didn't do as he was told.
"First of all, I'm pregnant. You want me to take them to the hospital? Aren't you afraid something will happen to me?"
Secondly, those are your parents; you should take care of them yourself.
He Hao stared at the phone that had been hung up, momentarily unable to process what had just happened.
Mo Yan actually dared to hang up on him!
He was so angry that he attacked again.
"Mo Yan, what's wrong with you today? As a daughter-in-law, isn't it your duty to take care of your parents-in-law?"
So what if I'm pregnant? Does being pregnant make you some kind of big shot?
You're only six months old, and you can't move anymore?
I'm out there earning money to support the family, and you're staying home to take care of Mom and Dad? Is that not even allowed?
He Hao had already argued with Lin Ran earlier that day, which made him even angrier; his words were dripping with anger. Normally, he would at least try to be gentle, but today he simply wasn't in the mood.
Not hearing Mo Yan's reply, he continued, "All you do every day is buy such expensive ingredients to cook. How much is my monthly salary? Can't you be more frugal?"
Mo Yan sneered before asking, "How much do you pay me each month?"
He Hao was stunned for a moment, he...
"Have you ever given me even a penny for living expenses? Now, everything you eat, use, spend, and live on every month is provided by my parents."
They felt sorry for me marrying so far away and for me not having enough money while I was pregnant. So they gave me 10,000 yuan every month as pocket money!
"You and my money? He Hao, put your hand on your heart and think about it, when exactly did you give me money!"
If someone who didn't know better heard those words, they would think that Mo Yan was a bit ungrateful.
He Hao felt a little guilty, then he realized that Mo Yan was actually acting very strangely today.
"Mo Yan, something's not right with you today."
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow, showing no sign of panic. "What did you say about me?"
He Hao then spoke up, "I said you're acting strange today. You've never been like this before."
Did something unpleasant happen to you?
If that's the case, you can actually tell me. We're husband and wife, and no matter what, I won't abandon you.
But my parents are getting old, and it wasn't easy for them to raise me to this age. My mother really suffered a lot when she gave birth to me.
Later, my mom really went through a lot, and I hope you can join me in taking good care of my parents. What do you think?
He Hao knew very well that Mo Yan was actually very easy to fool; she would believe anything he said.
But this time he was going to be disappointed.
"You're right, being a parent isn't easy."
My parents have had a hard life too, so it's my responsibility to take care of them.
Only your own parents know the truth. If your parents have had a hard life, then go and be with them.
Now that I think about it, what have I gained since marrying you?
Not only have I become your family's maid, but I'm also responsible for all your family's living expenses.
And you don't have to do anything? He Hao, you've wronged me!
Mo Yan spoke the last sentence with such force that it startled He Hao.
He was even a little dazed, feeling that Mo Yan's words had a different meaning. Could it be that she knew something?
Then he told himself not to worry, that it wouldn't happen, that he wouldn't know.
"What are you talking about? Stop being unreasonable, okay?"
When have I ever wronged you? All I did was not go to your prenatal checkup. I need to earn money, and besides, isn't my earnings for your and the baby's future? Be sensible and go back home!
He hung up the phone after saying that, which was actually a sign that he felt guilty.
Mo Yan put her phone aside and noticed the lawyer's serious expression. Mo Yan asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
The lawyer shook his head and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "How come you didn't realize he doesn't love you with his attitude?"
That's a good question. Even Mo Yan doesn't know how to answer it!
"Maybe it's because he's good at sweet talk? And he's pretty good at time management?"
Lawyer: "..." I don't know what to say.
"You know, when you like someone, you add many layers of filters to them."
Even if a person is a terrible person, riddled with flaws, you can still attribute many, many good qualities to them.
Actually, many times, it's the person in your imagination that you like.
When reality isn't great, you tell yourself, "Oh well, we have kids now, I'll just have to make do. What else can I do?"
The lawyer thought to himself, "That's true. Many clients comfort themselves with that kind of talk, but how can someone who's cheated ever turn back? Their apologies are just a way to buy time to transfer assets."
"But now I've come to realize that I'm just a tool for them to have children. They'll probably kill me when I give birth."
By then, my parents won't be around, and I'll be at their mercy.
If I lose this house, shouldn't my parents give it to my child?
They then had a child and a house—a sure win!
Mo Yan even felt that this was the truth.
It seems we'll need to check their chat history or something.
The lawyer thought her suspicions were reasonable, but then asked, "Why would you think of these things?"
"Oh, there are too many videos of wives being murdered on Douyin, and the recent movies are all lies, movies about people being taken abroad, movies about murder, movies about domestic violence. What am I supposed to think?"
The lawyer couldn't refute it, because it was indeed the truth.
