In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

"No one doesn't love themselves. When it comes to survival, nothing else matters. Maybe before, people thought being a stepmother was shameful. But you've also shown them a way."

"You're 20 years old this year. Once you turn 16, you can do anything. You haven't taken any action yet. Maybe you want to keep Jiang Wen's father company for a year. I guess."

"Go to Jiang Wen's office more often. Give him something to chew on. Strengthen your relationship. Win over the younger Jiang Huaibei and Jiang Huaixi. Jiang Huaibei will kiss you when he sees you, but Jiang Huaixi is different."

"Others always praise a married woman. A good wife and a good mother. Gentle and virtuous, virtuous and graceful. Gentle and virtuous. Tender and considerate, beautiful and intelligent. Reasonable."

"We won't get all the praise, but we can always get a few. I didn't just point out these principles to you, I also talked about them to the other three. It's just that they only mentioned them briefly, not in such detail."

"You did a great job a while ago. The Jiang family renovated all the houses and yards. Many people have visited your house. I haven't been there, but people have told me about it, and it feels like I'm there."

"Think about it carefully, let's go in too. It's already beyond working hours. If you ask, just say it. I want to discuss work with you. I'm going to the bathroom, you go back first." After saying that, Aunt Shen went to the bathroom.

Gu Lixia entered the office.

Wang Ling was the first to speak. She simply loved gossip. Every day she'd share what was happening in every household. "Lixia, what's wrong? Haven't you been talking pretty well lately? Why did Aunt Shen suddenly go out and talk about you for so long? Are you afraid that if she talked about you in front of us, we'd laugh at her?"

Gu Lixia definitely wouldn't tell everyone everything. She made a work excuse. "If they only praised me and not you guys, you'd be jealous. Aunt Shen told me about my shortcomings and strengths at work. She asked me to correct them and keep working hard."

Wang Ling went to the door and leaned against the doorframe. "Okay, Aunt Shen seems quite serious. She's probably worried you'll bring shame to our Propaganda Department. After all, it was the same when we first arrived. We'll just do what Aunt Shen says and everything will be fine. Aunt Shen is back."

Gu Lixia didn't say anything else.

But Aunt Shen came back and sat down to ask Zhang Jing, "How's your sister-in-law's boyfriend doing? Does she have a job?"

"No, we all know how hard it is to get a job these days. He's waiting for my mother-in-law's job. The problem is that my mother-in-law has three sons. None of them are willing to give the job to my brother-in-law."

"Originally, my sister-in-law's job belonged to my third brother's wife. After she got pregnant, she asked my sister-in-law to take over. But my sister-in-law didn't want to return it. My parents are also partial to me. After all, all the sons before me were born to my mother-in-law."

"Don't look at the fact that this stepmother-in-law gave birth to a daughter. But she is good at blowing pillow talk. What's more, she is my husband's aunt. Anyway, this job is not good and I have to go back. I have no choice but to let my sister-in-law do it."

"This is a matter of time. My sister-in-law's job must be returned to my third brother's wife. That was a job found by her own family. It's just that this stepmother-in-law wants to give my biological mother-in-law's job to her daughter."

"But her daughter wants to give it to her son-in-law, and the sister-in-law wants to take over my third sister-in-law's job. My third sister-in-law has been staying at home for seven months since she fell."

"It'll be a full moon in a few days. When the red eggs are distributed after the full moon, my mother's family will definitely come and cause trouble. Then it will depend on who has the stronger fist. These three brothers may not stand up for their stepmother-in-law. So the job will be returned."

"We have jobs every day, so we definitely don't want to take the job that my stepmother-in-law has, which used to belong to my biological mother-in-law. That's the worst possible scenario. It's also possible for an aunt to give a job to her niece."

"Besides, the children in our families are still young, only six or seven years old. It will take another 10 years before they can start working. My husband's two cousins ​​from his uncle's family don't have jobs yet. They've also considered this job."

"My father-in-law has decided to give it to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law wants to give it to him. It's only a matter of time. I'll tell you the result in a couple of days."

"Anyway, if this sister-in-law gets married, she definitely can't live at home. The three of us can't kill her alone."

Wang Ling couldn't help but say, "Tsk, if your stepmother-in-law and your biological mother-in-law weren't related by blood, this family would have been in turmoil long ago. Your sister-in-law wouldn't even be able to do the work. And the money from the sales should be divided among the three of you."

Cui Min also interjected, "You won't get to share in the benefits, and future retirement care is still your responsibility. Didn't you say before that you asked them to take care of the children because they complained about back pain, leg pain, and arm pain?"

Wang Ling couldn't accept it either. "That's right. In the future, your sister-in-law will say that a married woman is like spilled water. The man will definitely not agree to support his own parents."

"Becoming a live-in son-in-law ruins your family's fortune. Your three sons are doing well, but your daughter has to support the elderly. Your backbone won't be enough for people to poke. When that time comes, people won't say that the job was snatched away by someone else. At that time, they will say that it was a blessing that the job was given to this daughter."

Zhang Jing was also worried.

My husband also said that this stepmother-in-law married in half a year after the third child was born.

Raised the third child.

The third brother also hesitated.

But the third brother’s wife’s family will definitely not suffer this loss.

What's more, I am the eldest in my family.

In the future, I must provide for these two people in their old age and see them to the end of their lives.

However, it is not my turn to speak at home.

My husband is filial.

Now it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the eldest wife.

In practical terms, it matters a lot.

After all, this is my mother-in-law's job.

Now the eldest and second oldest are more determined, but the third oldest is wavering.

Her colleagues weren't aware of the situation, so Zhang Jing explained. "It's not appropriate for me to even bring up this matter at home. We're the eldest son and his wife. No matter what, I'll have to take care of them in their old age. If I bring it up and they start crying, making a scene, or even threatening to commit suicide, then my reputation will be ruined."

Wang Ling also shook her head and sighed, "That's right..."

Gu Lixia just listened without expressing any opinion.

Gu Lixia is actually a very selfish person.

To sum up, he is a sophisticated egoist.

Will think about yourself.

Be lenient with yourself and strict with others.

Regarding Zhang Jing's situation, Gu Lixia put herself in her shoes.

It is indeed difficult to deal with.

It's difficult to not offend anyone and gain benefits at the same time.
