Lin Bai gritted her teeth and said resentfully, "I understand. I was too polite to her before. I won't be polite to her anymore."
How dare she sow discord between her and her son behind their backs? No wonder her son isn't close to her; with such a wretched old woman stirring things up, how could they possibly be close?
"So what do you plan to do?" Ye Qingqing asked.
Lin Baiwei thought for a moment and said, "Let them go back to their hometown. If my husband doesn't agree, we'll get a divorce. I won't be soft-hearted this time."
Ye Qingqing nodded. That was necessary, but there was one more thing to do.
"I'm going to meddle in other people's business today. You just said that your husband's salary is all in his own hands. Besides paying half of the mortgage, he gives the rest of the money to his parents and supports his siblings in the countryside?"
“Yes, I don’t know the specifics, but when I went back to his hometown for the Spring Festival the year before last, his brothers and sisters had all built new houses, three-story Western-style houses, the best in the village, and they were living very well,” Lin Baiwei said.
How many siblings does your husband have?
“There are five. He is the second oldest. He has an older sister, two younger brothers, and a younger sister.”
"In other words, your husband paid for the new houses for your four sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, and probably also for their living expenses over the years. In short, your husband supported his whole family. No wonder he doesn't have much money left even though he earns a million a year; it's a bottomless pit," Ye Qingqing said sarcastically.
Rural areas have large populations. Four siblings have at least two children, and possibly more. And those children have to have children of their own. When will this hole be filled?
Lin Baiwei didn't care too much. "It doesn't matter. It's not my money anyway. He can spend it however he wants."
Ye Qingqing sighed. In a way, Lin Baiwei also bore some responsibility. She said she had never seen a woman more generous than her. A million a year, and she just gave it up like that.
“Honey, you can’t disrespect a million just because you have a high income, okay? You need to know that your husband’s money is your joint property, not his and his siblings’ property, nor his and his parents’ property. It belongs to both of you. You’ve had an improper attitude from the beginning, no wonder you’re living a muddled life.”
Ye Qingqing couldn't help but complain, and said, "You also have to take half the responsibility for your current situation. You can't completely blame your husband and your mother-in-law. Who told you to be so stupid? I would have liked to take advantage of a rich and generous fool like you."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "It's not much money. I just don't want to worry about money. I have enough money of my own. Ever since we got married, I have never thought about using a man's money."
“It’s fine if you don’t want to use it, but your son has to. You need to know that your husband’s money belongs to your son. Why should he spend it on someone else? You’re such a spendthrift old woman,” Ye Qingqing said irritably.
Lin Baiwei was stunned for a moment, then slapped her thigh hard. "That's right, how could I not have thought of that? His money belongs to my Xiaojie. Oh dear, how could I be so foolish? What do I do now?"
Ye Qingqing was right to scold her; she was indeed a spendthrift woman who squandered all her son's money.
"It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost. Of course, you should take back your husband's salary card. Sigh, I'll play the bad guy. First, send your in-laws back to the countryside. Second, take back your husband's salary card and only give him a small allowance each month. The specific amount can be negotiated between the two of you."
Ye Qingqing offered suggestions, since she was bored anyway.
