Chapter 615 Your material is very interesting.
"Oh, that's great. Then why did you still get divorced?" Song Qin asked with a faint smile.
"Sigh!" He sighed, paused for a moment, and continued, "It's our fault for not judging her well back then. We only saw her good points, but we didn't expect that after we got married, all those good points would turn into bad points. She was the pampered youngest daughter in the family, with a generous dowry and a salary for me. But she was spoiled from childhood and can't do any chores herself."
"She never cleans, never cooks, and I have to do her laundry. She only earns fifty yuan a month, but she always wants to eat this and that, wear nice clothes, eat well, dress well, and have fun. Every night she has to go to disco. She earns fifty yuan a month, but one hundred and fifty yuan a month isn't enough for her. And you can't say anything to her, because if you do, she'll say that all her money is given to me and that I'm in charge of it. If she doesn't have enough money, it's because I didn't manage it well."
Song Qin thought of several sad things before she managed to stop herself from laughing.
Calming himself down, he said seriously, "You have a lot of brothers, and your mother is all-powerful in your village. She has all her daughters-in-law completely under her thumb. How come she can't control your wife? Besides, the money is still in your hands. If you don't give her money, she can't go to the disco without money."
“There are three of us brothers, but she has five older brothers. If I don’t give her money, she goes back and complains. And it’s not just her five brothers who come; a whole bunch of local people, all her aunts and uncles, a hundred or so people in total, I…”
Thinking of the days of suffering I've endured these past few years, my face was covered in tears.
"Xiaoqin, you're the best."
It disgusted her, but she held back in order to find out just how miserable he really was.
"This shouldn't be enough to warrant a divorce. Your wife is probably just a little spoiled at home and grows up slowly. She'll be fine when she gets older."
He nodded and said, "That's what I thought too, and my parents thought so too. Everyone thought that she would settle down once she had a child. Later, we did have a child, and she gave birth to a son for me. During her pregnancy, she didn't go out to disco, didn't eat out, and didn't buy any pretty clothes. I thought she had finally matured."
Unexpectedly, the moment the child was born, she began a retaliatory spending spree. Various weight-loss programs, nutritious meals, and all the pretty clothes she fancied that year were bought in one go. She spent all the money that relatives and friends had given the child, and even sold the child's gold lock when I stopped giving her money. And that wasn't all; the crucial point was that she had absolutely no idea how to take care of a child.
"Things got worse after we had the baby. Not only did I have to take care of her, but I also had to look after our son. I'm busy with housework every day, while everyone who joined after me has been promoted, and I'm still stuck in the same place. Xiaoqin, do you know what it feels like when the person I mentored back then becomes my boss? He was the one who cautiously asked me how to do things, and now I have to bow and scrape before him. I don't know how my life has turned out like this."
She hadn't experienced it, but she could imagine how painful it must be.
Song Qin suppressed a laugh and asked again, "So you got a divorce?"
"Yes, if this continues, I'm doomed. I can't stand her anymore, so I filed for divorce."
"Oh, she agreed to the divorce?"
"I disagreed, but I insisted on getting a divorce. It took two years of back and forth before we finally got divorced."
"With you?"
"No, she wasn't willing to give it to me. She said that even if she couldn't raise the child, she wouldn't let me have it easy. The child, the meager savings, the house—she took it all. On the day we got the divorce certificate, she changed my son's surname to hers. So, all these years, I haven't gotten anything—money, child, house, wife, promotion opportunities… nothing. In the end, I'm left with nothing."
At this point, he took off his glasses and wiped away his tears.
"Looking back now, you were the only one who was truly good to me. When we were together, you would come and help me air out my blankets and do my laundry whenever you had time. You knew my family was poor and were worried I wouldn't have enough to eat, so you used your own living expenses to help me out. Even after you started working, you never spent money recklessly and never asked me for money."
You've never wanted anything from me, only cared for me. You've been so good to me; I really should have been braver back then. For your sake, I should have tried to win you over in front of my mom. I'm her own son; she definitely wouldn't bear to see me sad. If I had been determined to be with you, she would have agreed.
Upon hearing this, Song Qin couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"..."
"Xiaoqin, what are you laughing at?"
Song Qin laughed and said, "Sun Zhen, you still don't understand why we broke up?"
"why?"
"You think your mother doesn't approve of our marriage because I hit her, right?"
"Isn't that right? Xiaoqin, to be honest, you were in the wrong. What kind of new bride beats up her mother-in-law on her first visit?"
“Where?” Song Qin pointed to herself and said, “It’s right here.”
Sun Zhen: "..."
"Let your mother be shameless. How dare she ask for my salary?"
"No, she was very frugal. No matter how much money she had, she wouldn't spend it and would save it all for me. Later, when her workplace allocated housing and needed to provide additional funds, she used all of that money to buy me a house."
"Pah! That's your family's business, what does it have to do with me?"
Sun Zhen: "..."
"Let me tell you, it has nothing to do with your mother if we don't get together. It's not that she won't allow it, it's that I won't marry her. What's your type again? Oh right, a mama's boy. And your wicked mother-in-law needs someone like your ex-wife to handle her."
Sun Zhen was so angry that he clenched his fists.
Song Qin continued with a smile, "Didn't you both hand over your salaries to your mother to manage at the beginning, so that she could allocate the family's living expenses?"
Sun Zhen: "..."
Judging from his expression, Song Qin knew she had guessed correctly.
"It's a pity about you. Your three brothers can't beat those five brothers. Your few relatives can't handle a hundred or so aunts and uncles who can take all your wages and your dowries. If you have enough money, fine, but if you don't, they'll go and fight with your mother, blaming her for spending the money, right?"
Sun Zhen's eyes widened. "You...you..."
How could I have guessed so accurately?
Sun Zhen nodded.
Song Qin laughed and said, "Don't forget what I do for a living. What kind of weirdos haven't I seen? Someone like your mother, if she hadn't been dealt with so severely, would she have agreed to let you leave with nothing in the divorce?"
Sun Zhen loosened his clenched fist, looking dejected.
"Yes, my mother used to be proud of being able to manage her daughters-in-law. But ever since I married this woman, she has never been able to hold her head up in the village again, and she no longer dares to say that she is good at managing her household. This... sigh! This is probably karma."
