Liu Xinyan's voice stretched out. She had seen a lot of weird things, but she had never heard of anything this weird.
Qiao Jiangxin was also surprised. "Your son is already in elementary school, and your mother-in-law is still asking you for rent? And she only wants you?"
Maybe it was because Qiao Jiangxin and Liu Xinyan were too shocked that Sister Hong lowered her voice. "My mother-in-law said that family members won't rent us in. I'm not a family member, so I should pay the rent. No family would let outsiders live in their house for free."
Looking at Sister Hong's puzzled expression, Qiao Jiangxin almost laughed out of anger, "You serve a whole family in his house, your husband pays you for living expenses, and you still have to pay your own rent? You eat your own food, you live in your own house, why do you still serve their family?"
Sister Hong also felt a little aggrieved. "They are my parents-in-law, my husband's parents, my son's uncles and aunts, they are all family. I don't have a job, so I don't feel any resentment about doing some work. After all, we are a family..."
"That's right, this city is different from our countryside. In our southern countryside, daughters-in-law don't have to pay rent.
However, the house owned by my parents-in-law has nothing to do with me. The house was allocated by the factory where my parents-in-law work. My mother-in-law said that even if I rent a house outside, I still have to pay the rent. ”
Liu Xinyan rolled her eyes and said, "We are a family when we work together. Is your brain still rusty?"
Qiao Jiangxin also said, "If you don't want to rent a house, why do you rent it from your mother-in-law? Can't you rent from someone else? Your mother-in-law's family is the only one in the whole Jeju City that has a house to rent?"
"I've never heard of anyone renting a house and sleeping with the landlord's son, nor have I heard of anyone renting a house and giving birth to a grandchild for the landlord. Sister Hong, you've become a prostitute!!"
Liu Xinyan disagreed and shook her head. "Jiang Xin, what nonsense are you talking about? Sister Hong didn't take her husband's money. Even prostitutes are not so miserable. Whose prostitution is free and you have to pay for it yourself? Whose prostitution has to serve a whole family of clients?"
Sister Hong looked at Liu Xinyan stupidly with an unpleasant expression, but she was not a fool and she understood what Qiao Jiangxin and Liu Xinyan meant.
She asked, "You don't have this custom in the north?"
Qiao Jiangxin was almost speechless, "Haven't you asked anyone in all these years?"
Sister Hong shook her head. "I don't know anyone. I was pregnant before I came to the city. I spent the past few years focusing on cooking and taking care of the child. I hardly went out and I don't have many acquaintances.
Besides, I can't just ask a stranger if his daughter-in-law in Jeju needs to pay the rent.
At that time, I felt that the houses in the city were quite compact. A two-bedroom and one-living room house could house seven or eight people, and every inch of land was valuable. It was not like in our countryside, where we could build a large house and everyone could have their own room.
There are only three of us in our family, and now we have to share a room with my sister-in-law and her grandmother, five of us. ”
Qiao Jiangxin snorted coldly, "You've been deceived. People are bullying you, and they are bullying you alone. Is your man dead? Marrying a man provides clothes and food, and you marry a man to serve his parents and give birth to children, and you also have to pay rent. Even if it's a bird in the sky, if it wants to ask a female bird to lay eggs for it, it needs a nest. Can you just lay the eggs in the river?"
"If you pay the rent, you should know your position. You can't do anything a daughter-in-law should do. You are a tenant."
Qiao Jiangxin has a bad temper, but Liu Xinyan is more talkative.
She pulled Sister Hong aside and analyzed the situation carefully. The more she analyzed, the more aggrieved Sister Hong felt. The money for her husband to hire that temporary worker was raised from her own family, because her monthly salary was used to pay for rent and food, and she still hadn't paid it back yet.
