Yang Xiaoyue was taken aback.
"What!?"
Yu Shuang spoke with righteous indignation:
"I've worked hard for most of my life and never lived a single day for myself. I'm giving myself a break to live for myself and enjoy life. What's wrong with that? Is there a problem?"
There's a problem! Of course there's a problem!?
If you stop working, who will earn money to support the family?

Before I could even feel touched for a second, my mom's next words infuriated me.
It's all supposed to be her dowry, so why not save it properly and spend it?
Why should we spend her dowry?
