She sighed, "Well, you've just arrived here, and Mom wants to spend more time with you."
In her past life, Sun Lifang had really thought about this: she wanted to hire a nanny so she could spend her spare time with her family and continue working.
When she told her mother-in-law about this idea, what did her mother-in-law say?
"Can't you take care of the child yourself? If you're unwilling, give us the money you would have spent on a nanny. I've never seen anyone like you." She even went around spreading rumors that her son had married a lazy, money-grubbing, and heartless woman.
Sun Lifang's mother-in-law loves playing mahjong and plays so much that she forgets to eat, so how could she entrust her child to her?
However, when she resigned and stayed home as her mother-in-law had suggested, her mother-in-law started criticizing her again: "What can you young people do these days? Pregnant women are treated so delicately. Back in our generation, when we went to the countryside, we carried one child on our backs, held another in our arms, and took care of the whole family. Take your friend Lin Zhenzhen, for example, she's capable and polite, why don't you learn from her... You're just like that, can't you even say a word..."
She endured it all, and finally, after her mother-in-law passed away, she was struck by breast cancer and uterine fibroids.
It seems like everyone around her has a problem with her. Her parents say she's an ungrateful wretch, her daughter complains that she doesn't treat everyone equally, and her mother-in-law complains that she doesn't have a job and is spending her son's money.
She went to her husband to complain, but he asked her what she was not satisfied with, since she was idle at home all day and had no worries about food and clothing.
No one appreciates her efforts and sacrifices. With elderly parents and young children to support, she is busy all day long, and even asking for money often results in her being teased.
We must never live like that again!
