If this continues, the child will definitely not be close to her. Then, what will she gain in the end?
If my children look down on me as their mother and don’t even see me in their eyes, then what will I have left when I grow old?
Not only were my money and children gone, but my dignity! The most important thing was my dignity.
Her mother-in-law tramples on her dignity, and her husband doesn't give her much dignity either. If her child is corrupted by her mother-in-law and doesn't look down on her, then she will have no dignity at all.
Compromising won't bring back her dignity, nor will it get her child back to raise herself, so she can only find her own value elsewhere and make her in-laws look up to her.
Fang Yuehong watched her go from depressed to confused, then to excited, and then suddenly stood up and walked into the main room of her house.
Tang Min entered the main room and pulled Zhou Xiang over, "Zhou Xiang, teach me."
Zhou Xiang saw the expression on her face and smiled. It was good that she understood. If it weren't for the fact that she had acted as a matchmaker for Wang Qiao and Chen Ou, she would not have been willing to meddle in other people's business.
Now, I can also take her to do things.
The two returned to the yard and sat down.
Zhou Xiang said sincerely: "There is a saying that money makes the world go round. The matchmaking money you occasionally earn is just a drop in the bucket in the eyes of others.
If you want dignity in front of unreasonable people who don't respect others, then buy it!
How to buy it? For example, if you are from the countryside and still want to buy expensive grain, your in-laws will think you are wasting money and you don’t have a salary.
You say, if you are rich and can earn money, and you throw your living expenses in front of the old lady every month, what will her attitude be?
You can earn money, you have money, you buy all kinds of things for her, and you have savings. How dare she control you? How dare she not let you go out to eat?
"It's an engagement! If the matchmaker isn't there, both the man and the woman will be unhappy! Has she ever considered you? Fortunately, my mother went today and is the matchmaker for the man. Your cousin can be the matchmaker for the woman. Otherwise, what will happen? You did a good thing and still get blamed."
Tang Min's expression changed again and again as Zhou Xiang spoke.
"How do I make money?"
"Go out and work! Isn't your only value at home to be a free babysitter? Go out and find a job, get a salary every month, and give her ten or eight yuan. She will definitely be very happy.
If she has money, she will grind the millstone even if you ask her to."
Fang Yuehong and Tang Min burst out laughing.
Tang Min imagined in her mind that she would be rich, no longer have to care about other people's faces, no longer be unable to hold a son, no longer be criticized for eating too much, and even like Zhou Xiang, she could buy whatever she wanted to eat, instruct her mother-in-law to cook it, and watch while holding the child at the side. How great would that be!
"Zhou Xiang, you've said so much, you must have thought about what I should do. Tell me, I'll listen to you."
"You really listen to me?"
Tang Min nodded, "Listen."
"I want you to work at a barbecue stall for 40 yuan a month, but you'll be leaving late. Do you think your in-laws would agree? Won't they be suspicious of you?"
Tang Min pondered for a moment, then gritted her teeth. "Oh my gosh! Every night, you ask my husband to pick me up. I give him five dollars a month for cigarettes, and ten dollars a month for food to my mother-in-law. Didn't you say that money makes the world go round? I'll learn from you and use money to pave the way."
If I occasionally buy some meat or fish, they'll probably be so happy they'll worship me."
Zhou Xiang laughed, "That's right, don't think you can get anything by compromising with your in-laws. If you want something, you have to pay for it!"
Fang Yuehong smiled as she watched the two people whispering to each other, with sly smiles on their faces from time to time.
Finally, Tang Min hugged Zhou Xiang and said, "Sister, you are my real sister. I am so grateful to you. You even taught me what to do when I am old. I, I don't know how to thank you."
Zhou wanted to break free from her embrace. This woman, really, if they weren't married, she and Zhong Xiong would be a good match. They both like to call others "sister".
After breaking free, he glared at her and said, "Why are you hugging me so carelessly? You have no dignity at all."
Tang Min chuckled, "Being reserved with you? Forget it, sometimes you're even less reserved than me."
Zhou wanted to know that she was too excited, so he stopped arguing with her and said, "Go back! Hurry up and implement your plan. I'm here today, what a good excuse!"
Tang Min stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go home and act."
Fang Yuehong just smiled without saying anything. She had seen Tang Min's situation in her husband's family and had always felt sorry for her. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiang saved her. She was a kind and enthusiastic girl.
The kind and enthusiastic girl was secretly happy that she had finally dealt with the person watching the stall. If Wang Qiao and the others were to come and talk about it, she might be wrongly accused.
Before, I just thought her mother-in-law was a little too strong, but I didn't expect her to be so excessive. She didn't even let her go when the man and woman were engaged. It must be that they had dinner at Tang Min's own house on the day of the engagement, which made the old woman jealous. What a greedy woman!
Humph! Now, your daughter-in-law is going to be turned into a sesame-filled rice dumpling. Do you like it? Surprise, right?
When Tang Min returned home, her mother-in-law was throwing things around in the house. "Where has our dead cat gone again? Why hasn't he come home yet?"
Tang Min didn't think it was a big deal before. For the sake of family harmony, her mother-in-law would just make a few indirect accusations to vent her resentment, and that was it.
Now, after thinking it through, I felt a surge of resentment when I heard this. Who doesn't know that cats love to call out for sex? Is this just scolding me for being a wild man?
Raising his voice, he said, "Mom! I'm back."
"Come back if you want. Why are you shouting? You're just showing off your loud voice!"
Tang Min suppressed her grievance and sadness, walked to her mother-in-law's door, and put on her most cheerful voice, "Mom! Zhou next door wants to introduce me to a job that pays 25 yuan a month! What do you think, should I go or not?"
This was what Zhou Xiang taught her. She asked her to only say that the salary was 25 yuan, give 10 yuan to the mother-in-law and 5 yuan to the husband. The mother-in-law would definitely find ways to get the remaining 10 yuan. If she said the salary was 40 yuan, the mother-in-law would ask for at least 20 yuan. In the end, she worked for nothing and didn't get a penny.
Save the remaining money and ask your boss to keep it for you. When your mother-in-law is gone and you are the hostess, you will have plenty of money in your hands. Won’t your son and daughter-in-law want to curry favor with you?
When her mother-in-law heard this, she was surprised. It's such a good thing! A temporary worker at the company only makes 200 yuan a month!
"Go! Why not?"
"Mom! That job involves selling food. I start work around 10 in the morning and get off work late at night. It's not suitable for a woman like me!"
My mother-in-law only cares about the 25 yuan a month and doesn't care about anything else. "Go, you have nothing to do at home, go earn some money and reduce the burden on the family."
Haha, isn’t it a problem to buy groceries and cook for yourself?
"Mom, I have an idea. If everyone agrees, I will do it."
