Reforming a suffocating marriage: a bondage or happiness?

"But when I brought Wuyang back that day, I saw you treating us to a big meal just because I tricked you with a few words, and I felt that you were not hopeless, so I wanted to give you a chance. But today... today, when I saw your mother framing me, I was scared and backed off. She even dared to push her own son into danger. If she is even more cruel, she might bring a man to my little house when you are not around and force me. How can I, a weak woman, resist..."

Before Shi Xin finished speaking, Xie Yang hurriedly said, "No, I won't let that happen."

"You don't understand. She hates me, and this hatred comes out of nowhere."

Xie Yang was speechless for a moment.

He actually knew why his mother was so strict with Shi Xin.

Because she said that this was how her grandmother educated her.

She also wants to exploit Shi Xin in this way.

But times have changed.

Especially since Shi Xin did very well in every aspect, and she had no fault to find, so she had to find fault with Shi Xin and put him down so that she could feel superior.

He couldn't tell this to Shi Xin.

The knot between Shi Xin and the Jie family has become unsolvable.

And now I am also trapped in it.

But fortunately, today I made the bold decision to distance myself from the Xie family.

He said, "My mother won't come to disturb us anymore. When I make money from the pig farm, we'll go to the county town to buy a piece of land and build a house. It's farther away from here, so she won't come to cause trouble so easily."

Shi Xin shook her head. What she didn't say was that as long as Jie's mother was not dead, Jie Yang had the obligation to support her. If Jie Shu and Jie Liu were unfilial, they would definitely come back to Jie Yang when they ran out of money.

No matter where you move, they will find you.

The Xie family is like a leech attached to one's bones, and Xie Yang can't get rid of it.

She and her daughter, who follow Jie Yang, will also suffer greatly.

Xie Yang hasn't suffered enough from his mother, so he's not desperate.

But in this kind of situation, if Xie Yang compromises once, it will happen countless times.

He thought he had done his best, but some people just like to push their luck.

The next day, Xie Yang went to the pig farm before dawn.

He also hired two people to help watch the night. The owners of the county market and purchasing agents from the county restaurants would come to his pig farm to buy meat at this time.

They are all old acquaintances.

So there will be monthly settlement.

He had just settled his account with someone for last month, and it was still early this month, so he didn't receive much cash today.

But there are also a few dozen pieces scattered around.

As soon as he came back, he gave the money to Shi Xin, then took his clothes and went to take a shower.

Shi Xin had just sent a driver away and came back to look at the money on the table, waiting for Jie Yang to come out.

When Jie Yang came out, he saw that Shi Xin had not yet accepted the money. He was startled and worried that she would not accept his money.

He wanted to escape and do the laundry.

Shi Xin called him.

Xie Yang finally stopped, put down his dirty clothes, walked into the main room and sat down.

He explained, "I settle with those bosses on a monthly basis. Last month's accounts have been settled. We have to wait until at least the end of this month to settle again. When the time comes, I'll give you all the money, okay? These are bought by a few people today. There will be a lot by the end of the month."

Shi Xin raised his hand and asked him to pause.

She said, "Xie Yang, I'm asking you to take on the responsibility of a family, not to use money to please me and keep me. Do you understand? We are husband and wife, and you are being too polite. This doesn't seem like a husband and wife, but more like a relationship between superiors and subordinates."
