Li Tiantian was dragged back immediately, without any time to adjust this time. Zhang's mother simply threw an apron at her.
"Hurry up and cook, our whole family is waiting."
Since we can't bring the money back, let's get to work.
Li Tiantian looked at the apron with a bewildered expression. Zhang Jiawei, who was standing next to her, spoke up. "Tiantian, you and Mom are busy. I'm going to submit my resume."
The person turned and left, leaving Li Tiantian feeling wronged and on the verge of tears.
"Don't give me that long face. Don't say things like you can't cook or you never used to cook. That's how it is. It takes time. I didn't cook before either. Women have to learn to cook and do housework after they get married. Otherwise, how will they take care of their husbands, children, and in-laws?"
Zhang's mother was already furious, and now she wasn't going to be polite to her daughter-in-law.
“But I already agreed with Jiawei that he would cook and I would wash the dishes.”
"How can a man cook? Men are out there earning money, women are at home taking care of the family. You're my wife now, so hurry up and cook."
For the next period of time, all that could be heard was Zhang's mother's scolding and Li Tiantian's crying.
Various sounds intertwined.
After finally finishing cooking, by the time Li Tiantian came out, the food was gone. Only a few empty plates remained. Everyone else had already gone back to their rooms, and Zhang's father was watching TV.
This was completely different from the married life she had imagined.
She was dragged out of bed at 5 a.m. to make breakfast, and then sent out to buy groceries at 6:30 a.m. At 8 a.m., she was sent out to find a job and told to come back at noon to cook.
After only five days, Li Tiantian could no longer hold on. She felt like a spinning top that never stopped.
She got up and touched herself, and realized she had a fever, so she didn't want to move.
"Sister-in-law, are you alright? You don't look well. Go and buy some medicine."
Zhang Jiawei's sister is alright; she sometimes helps with cooking, but she doesn't dare to say anything too much.
"Could you please call your brother over here?"
Li Tiantian was very upset. Even though they lived under the same roof, they could only spend less than two hours together. Whenever they were together, Zhang Jiawei would be called away.
Li Tiantian felt that she wasn't married; she was more like a nanny to their family.
Zhang Jiawei came over after hearing this and felt very sorry for Li Tiantian when he saw her like this.
"Sweetie, what's wrong? Can you still hold on? Mom will be getting up for breakfast soon."
Li Tiantian: "???"
“Zhang Jiawei, I’m already sick, and you still want me to make breakfast for you? This isn’t the married life I wanted. I thought that after we got married, we should make breakfast together, go to work together, and live a happy life as a couple every day. Look at the kind of life we’re living now!”
It has to be said that Li Tiantian regretted it; she regretted it after only five days.
She wanted to live with Zhang Jiawei because she liked him, but why are there so many problems now?
“I know, but you have to understand me. My mom was taken to the police station a couple of days ago, so it's understandable that she's a little upset. She's an elderly person, so don't take it to heart. Just coax her a bit.”
She'll calm down once she's calmed down. Our family is indeed facing difficulties right now; we don't have much money and can't afford a bigger house.
If you hold on for a few years, then we'll be able to buy a house and live in it ourselves, okay?
I love you very much, and I know you love me too. You're willing to make an effort for me, right?
If I were able to, I would like to give you a home right now.
But as you can see, I just got a job and am currently in my probationary period, so I definitely can't afford to be distracted right now.
As soon as Zhang Jiawei arrived, he started playing the emotional card with Li Tiantian, talking about how many years it would take, and finally coaxing her with some nice words, completely controlling Li Tiantian.
"Several years? You want me to endure this kind of life for several years?"
Li Tiantian felt that if she continued, she would die. No, no, she couldn't do it, she couldn't do it!
"But I'm so tired right now, I feel terrible, I feel like I can't go on for another day."
Let's think of another way, okay?
Li Tiantian felt really tired, especially now. She felt very uncomfortable. Her nose was blocked, and she needed to breathe hard, but she had a lot of snot. Her throat was itchy and she wanted to cough at any time. Her head was dizzy and she wanted to fall asleep. She couldn't keep her eyelids open.
"I want to rest today, I want to rest."
Zhang Jiawei knew he couldn't push her too hard all at once, so he quickly made her lie down.
"Okay, okay, you can rest today. I'll go talk to Mom later and buy you some medicine. After you take the medicine, you can get a good night's sleep, okay?"
Li Tiantian nodded in satisfaction.
"But you have to transfer the money to me. You know your husband is penniless; he doesn't have a single penny."
Li Tiantian knew this too, and transferred two hundred to him.
Actually, Li Tiantian didn't have much money left. Of the 10,000 yuan she had last time, only a few thousand yuan was left after paying rent. She only had 2,000 yuan left after spending some time.
For the first time, Li Tiantian felt that the money was really too little.
No matter how many messages I send these past few days, Mo Yan hasn't replied at all; it's like a stone sinking into the sea.
Zhang Jiawei returned quickly, gave her the medicine, and she drifted off to sleep.
Li Tiantian had a dream in which her mother gave her money to buy a house, and she and Zhang Jiawei could have their own world. She soon became pregnant, and later her mother helped her take care of the child and the house, and she was also able to find a job.
