There is no other reason than that the old mother does not have the ability to be financially independent and has to rely on her father for everything.
My father went home with his salary, but my mother didn't make any money at all. She was only responsible for three meals a day, washing and drying clothes, washing and cleaning, and taking care of everyone's daily life in the family.
When dad comes home after get off work, he only needs to lie down on the sofa, cross his legs, take the newspaper and read it, and then wait for mom to hand over the water glass, prepare the food and serve it, and call him to come over to eat. Everything else is fine. No need to do it.
My mother is very hardworking, she wakes up early every day, and occasionally works until late at night without having to take a break.
In her opinion, what her mother did was not of great value, because as long as she had money, she could hire someone to do it instead of doing it herself.
She has made up her mind since she was a child that she will never be a woman like her mother. She must be independent and self-reliant and create her own value.
Her mother took care of everything, and there wasn't much room for her to express herself. So she didn't do much housework since she was a child, and it wasn't until she stayed in school that she reluctantly learned to do laundry.
However, she would not do things like cooking and cleaning if she could. She always felt that it was a waste of her time and life.
In her view, only by making better use of one's time and life can one create more valuable value.
Only in that way can she have a higher voice and gain the sincere admiration and awe of her other half, thus gaining authority at home and not being looked down upon by Zheng Duoduo!
However, these are all previous thoughts.
Now she no longer dares to think so.
She didn't know what was the most important thing between husband and wife, but it was definitely not what she thought before.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tong looked at Wang Xiaoxiao again.
"Auntie's marriage is very happy... maybe she has the most say. You must listen to her, you are right."
"Yes, my mother taught me the same thing." Wang Xiaoxiao said proudly: "My mother-in-law is strong yet gentle, domineering yet tender. She has a really good relationship with my father-in-law. I heard Yangyang say that they
I haven’t had to quarrel for several years. I have been married for several years, and I have never seen them blush, let alone quarrel or quarrel. She is very gentle and considerate to my father-in-law."
"Really... fake?" Xiao Tong couldn't believe it: "You don't have to quarrel for a few years?"
"That's right!" Wang Xiaoxiao explained: "It has been several years since I got married here, and they have never had a quarrel."
Xiao Tong couldn't help but think of Xue Linglai and murmured: "Maybe... this is where Sister Ling is so good."
Sister Ling is indeed very strong in the business world, but she is always very gentle to those close to her, including her relatives, especially her husband.
She has a successful career, numerous properties, and a strength that her husband can only dream of. But she is not like her father, and Uncle A Yuan does not have to be as miserable as his old mother.
When talking about her mother-in-law, Wang Xiaoxiao started talking nonstop.
Xiao Tong listened a little absent-mindedly, and his mood was not so light, but became more and more heavy.
"Xiao Tong? Xiao Tong?" Wang Xiaoxiao suddenly shouted.
The other party was startled and sat upright in a panic, with embarrassment and embarrassment in his eyes.
"I'm sorry... I was distracted just now. By the way, where were we talking? Sister Ling - she - she hasn't come back yet?"
Wang Xiaoxiao glanced at her with complicated eyes and whispered: "The third child is injured. My mother has been taking care of the third child recently and has no time to come back."
"Oh." Xiao Tong lowered his eyes in disappointment.
Wang Xiaoxiao put down the white porcelain bowl and sighed.
"Xiao Tong, we are pretty familiar people. We are not the kind of acquaintances who don't see each other for years or months. If you really can't bear to let go, just withdraw the lawsuit. You can rein in the situation or make up for it before it's too late - in short, don't let it go.
I regret it myself.”
Xiao Tong was so embarrassed that he buried his head.
"...Now is no longer the time for me to withdraw. He has also made up his mind that we must leave... Even if I want to, I can't."
Wang Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes slightly and asked: "Then you - what do you think? You want to save it, right? Have you tried it?"
"No." Xiao Tong whispered: "Some things have already happened, and I don't want to undo it even..."
Even though she had already regretted it in her heart, she still didn't want to admit it to herself. Zheng Duoduo was extremely arrogant and was definitely not the kind of person who was willing to lower his head and turn around.
Even if she tried to save him, he would never talk to her again, never again.
Wang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but persuade: "If you don't try, how will you know it doesn't work? When two people quarrel and get into trouble, one of them has to bow his head first, right? You can't always bow your head alone, otherwise sooner or later he will refuse to bow any more. Alone
You can't be right all the time. If it's for your own happiness, even if you are right, you have to suffer occasionally and admit your mistakes - just think of it as for each other's happiness."
"...I can't do it." Xiao Tong shook his head gently: "Besides, he won't accept it."
If she could do it, they probably wouldn't have reached this point. If they had softened their attitude at the beginning, maybe they wouldn't even have a stalemate, let alone a divorce.
However, even if she regretted it, she could not undo it.
Moreover, it is impossible for him to forgive himself in this life.
She knew him well enough to give up any hope.
Wang Xiaoxiao saw that she spoke so firmly, and remembered how calm her parents were when they left earlier. He understood in his heart, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
"Then...what are your plans next?"
Xiao Tong shook his head: "I don't know... let me adjust my condition first, and then think about other things. The divorce won't be so quick, he can do whatever he wants, I don't have any objection. I have to keep my spirits up first, and then send my dad off
Mom is going south. After the Chinese New Year, I should continue to look for a job."
"Yeah." Wang Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say, so she could only encourage her to work hard and wish her to find a good job soon.
Xiao Tong thanked him, paused for a few seconds, and suddenly asked: "Do you... feel safe?"
Forehead?
Wang Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
Xiao Tong smiled apologetically and explained: "What I mean is - Yangyang's career is now at its peak, almost advancing rapidly. As his wife, you stay at home most of the time, do you feel insecure? With
He is too far away - will you be worried? Will you be anxious or something?"
"There used to be." Wang Xiaoxiao told the truth: "No more now. My mother said that it is impossible for everyone in the family to be capable. If everyone is a genius, then there is no such thing as a real 'genius'. People who make money outside
People are important, but so are those who stay at home to take care of the elderly and children. Without money, the basis for survival is almost zero. If the elderly and children cannot be taken care of well, life has no meaning. It is important to work to make money, but it is more important to clarify the meaning of work.
