Chapter 1: Tired (2/2)



I have spent all my life, both money and effort, for this son, but his wife-in-law has never given me a good look.

Every Sunday, the daughter-in-law would arrange a lot of work for her, and let her finish the work, so that the family could have a meal together. They would go out to play for a day, and would only go home after dinner.

However, she is also to blame for the way her life turned out. She doted on her child too much and did not educate her son well. As a result, her son does not understand that a mother is also a flesh and blood, not made of iron. Her son could not imagine that his mother would also be tired and sad.

Every year, her son and daughter-in-law celebrate their birthdays at the restaurant, but her son has never remembered her own birthday.

This is also her fault. I remember that when her son was ten years old, her husband had just passed away. Her son wanted to celebrate her birthday and bought her a small cake with his own pocket money. At that time, she was in pain from losing her husband.

Without thinking much, I scolded my son not to spend money recklessly and told him to save money to buy educational supplies.

Since then, the son never celebrated Wang Li's birthday again. He thought that this life was too hard and too unfair.

Now, even if we go back to our hometown, we have no place to live in the city. Fortunately, my husband’s bungalow in the village was not worth much at that time and he did not sell it.

I still have a place to stay. I need to save money for my retirement in the future, so I have to get my pension card back. I can grow some vegetables in the yard of my hometown to make a living.

I have seen through my son. I can no longer rely on him. I have to rely on myself. My eldest sister-in-law is an honest person. Her children are all filial. We live in the same village, so I think I will have someone to help me in the future.

First of all, I have to find a way to get my credit card back. I don't know if the money in it will be returned. I can receive 36,000 yuan a year. After spending, I can save more than 20,000 yuan every year, which means more than 60,000 yuan in three years.

I think I should resign first. It's already past two o'clock and I guess the hotel manager might not be here yet.

She quickly changed her clothes and went out to find the foreman, who said that the manager was having dinner with someone else and asked her to go to the hospital first!

After Wang Li came out, she still didn't go to the hospital. She felt that she fainted because she was tired and hungry. She just needed to rest and wanted to take a hot bath first.

She didn't want to go back and see her daughter-in-law's face. Every time she took a bath, she was unhappy and had a sullen face, complaining that she was wasting water.

I thought about where I could take a shower. It seemed like there was a shower and steam steam shop opposite the restaurant where I worked. After taking a shower, I lay down for a while and ordered some takeout. I had been in Shanghai for such a long time but had never eaten a meal in a restaurant. Firstly, I had no money, and secondly, I felt that the food outside was not clean.

The world has changed, people have changed too, Wang Li felt that she almost died, she also had to change, from now on she would have to love herself.

I was thinking about getting my salary card back when I go back tonight, resigning tomorrow, buying some clothes outside and then going back to the village.

Life at my son's home was so tiring and hard. I used to take care of the children, clean the house, and do laundry, so I had no time to go out. I didn't have any friends, and when I felt sad, there was no one to talk to.

After taking a shower, I came home and saw my son and daughter-in-law. As soon as they entered the door, my daughter-in-law had a sullen face.

He said, "You old woman, why are you coming home so late? Are you going to starve us to death?"

Wang Li got furious when she heard this, and the two of them started arguing. She had endured it before, but today she didn't want to endure it anymore.

"I have worked like a slave for your family for the past few years. Those who know me are your mother, but those who don't think I am a servant."

"Servants can still earn some wages, but what about me? I don't earn a penny, but I've given you so much. Please feel your conscience, doesn't it hurt?"

Ever since I came to your house, you didn't even help when the oil bottle fell over, and I'm responsible for all the work.

Son, don't pull me in. I don't want the money I gave you before anymore. Give me your credit card and I'll move back to our old house. I won't rely on you to support me anymore.

Your eldest aunt lives in the village and can take care of mom. I don’t have any money now. I sold all the money I earned before, as well as your grandfather’s house and mom’s house, and gave all the money to you. I don’t have much money left now.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Aren't you afraid that you'll spend the credit card recklessly? I haven't touched it, so just give it to me in cash. This is all the money I have."

Neither of them expressed their views.

"Son, if you don't give me your salary card, I will go to your unit tomorrow and ask your leader whether your son should provide for your mother's retirement. I will ask how much your annual salary is and ask them to transfer your salary to my card to provide for my retirement."

"See if your leader agrees."

The daughter-in-law took her son and slammed the door back to their bedroom, where she muttered for a long time. When she came out, she threw the credit card to Wang Li. The son was very unhappy and slammed the door when he went back home.
