Song Xijiao and Pei He have been together for fifteen years.
Four years ago.
Pei Hetong was suffering from illness and the doctor predicted that he would not live for more than half a year.
Despite everyone's opposition, Song Xijiao gave up the opportunity to study abroad and took care of him for half a year without taking off her clothes.
After Pei Hetong recovered, he resolutely got a marriage certificate with Song Xijiao.
"Jiaojiao, you don't know that in order to get you to agree to the proposal, our Hetong worried for several days, afraid that you wouldn't agree. He really cares about you."
"Jiaojiao, we in the Pei family don't have any prejudice against family backgrounds. Don't listen to what those people on the Internet say. We like you very much. If He Tong does anything wrong, just beat him up and see if he dares to resist."
How did Song Xijiao respond at that time?
Oh, she said.
"Mom, I love He Tong. I want him no matter what he becomes."
It's so stupid and ridiculous.
Until one day, she walked to the subway station and suddenly realized that she had not taken her computer. She hurriedly ran back from the subway station, opened the door, and found the living room empty. She could hear conversation coming from the master bedroom. She slowed down her pace and walked closer, and the conversation came into her ears.
"What are you afraid of? She's just a pushover. Are you afraid she won't accept this?"
"But mom...this..."
"Don't bother with this or that. This is non-negotiable. A woman is meant to take care of the family."
…
The mother-in-law's sarcastic voice was like sharp needles piercing Song Xijiao's heart.
How ridiculous!
How ridiculous!
She was actually fooled by such an excuse.
She hates it so much!
She was so unwilling!
In the first year of her marriage, her mother-in-law gave her a warning as soon as she saw her.
"Since you've married into our Pei family, you must follow the rules. You must get up at five o'clock every day to cook, wash clothes, and do all the housework. Don't even think about being lazy."
Song Xijiao didn't say anything, but just agreed with lowered eyebrows.
Seeing that Song Xijiao was so easy to manipulate, the mother-in-law became even more unscrupulous.
"Also, our Pei family doesn't care about anniversaries, Valentine's Day, or Chinese Valentine's Day. If you want a gift, buy it yourself. Don't spend our Pei family's money."
Song Xijiao still said nothing, but just did her work silently.
Seeing that Song Xijiao was submissive, the mother-in-law went even further.
"Also, you're sleeping in the same room with He now. This is outrageous. Hurry up and pack up and move to the guest room."
In the second year of their marriage, Pei Hetong began to stay out all night.
Song Xijiao was alone at home, and her mother-in-law didn't even bother to show her any kindness.
"Now that you've married into our family, you need to understand some rules. Don't just think about being the mistress. Serve the people of our Pei family well."
Song Xijiao finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.
"Mom, I am the daughter-in-law of the Pei family, not a nanny, nor a slave of your family. I also have my own ideas and dignity."
The mother-in-law looked at her in shock, and the next second she roared, "You are rebelling!"
"I tell you, if you marry into our Pei family, you must follow our Pei family rules, otherwise don't marry me!"
The third year of marriage,
Song Xijiao and Pei Hetong have been married for three years, but they still haven't conceived a child.
It’s not like she didn’t try.
But Pei Hetong always used work as an excuse to reject her.
"You are so young, how can you not be sensible?"
"How could I not be sensible?" Song Xijiao said angrily, "It's obviously you who has the problem, why don't they check you?"
"Why would I have a problem with that?" Pei Hetong asked, "Is this what you've always dreamed of?"
"Isn't it?" Song Xijiao asked suspiciously, "Aren't you eager to have a child?"
"That's just an excuse you use to want me." Pei Hetong suddenly raised his voice, "You want a child, don't I want one too? But why have you never cared about me?"
"I care about you!" Song Xijiao said anxiously, "You work too hard and your health is not good. I am worried about you too, but why do you never understand me?"
"Understand you?" Pei Hetong sneered, "Understand you like you understand me? In order to have a child, you even disregard my dignity."
Song Xijiao was stunned by his words, but he had never cared about her before. Now she wanted to ask for his dignity for the sake of the child. This was too ridiculous.
"Pei Hetong, you bastard!"
Song Xijiao finally couldn't help but curse.
Pei Hetong's expression changed, but he didn't say anything.
Song Xijiao finally realized that after three years of marriage, she didn't know Pei Hetong at all.
She didn't know whether he liked spicy food or sweet food.
I don’t know what time he leaves home for work or what time he comes home.
I don't even know what he likes to do in his daily life.
She once thought that they were a couple who loved each other very much.
I picked up the water glass on the table, and with a snap, glass fragments scattered everywhere, and a storm was brewing outside.
"Pei Hetong, I'm telling you, I don't want to, and no one can force me!"
Song Xijiao paused for a moment and continued walking forward with her hand on the door handle. She heard footsteps behind her. She didn't look back and turned the door handle hard. She heard Pei Hetong's angry roar behind her.
"Divorce? Don't even think about it! I won't divorce you!"
"If you dare to step out of this door, I will make you regret it!"
Pei Hetong's grandfather had two sons and two daughters.
Pei Hetong's father, Pei Zhicheng, is a man without a strong opinion.
Pei Hetong's uncle, Pei Zhiting, is quite capable. He went to Harvard to study abroad and also worked in a large company in Silicon Valley.
Why didn't she go abroad to study back then?
Otherwise, she would have been financially independent long ago, so why would she have to endure this humiliation?
