She only gives me two thousand yuan a month, and I can spend it however I want. That's cheap labor, isn't it? She also said that I should keep helping her with her work. My wife is a good, discerning, and hardworking woman.
A few nights later, I couldn't take it anymore and confronted my husband directly, "Are you going to help me with the housework or not? If you're not, let's get a divorce. Since you've said this about me, I'm ugly now and not good enough for you..."
He was surprised. "I'm not usually like this. I just take whatever they say. Today I brought up divorce directly," he said with a cold sarcasm.

The mother-in-law was instantly surprised. "I'm used to doing this. What woman doesn't work? Wait, what? You want a divorce? This is no joke. You're a woman, don't be so willful.
