Landlady who likes to hoard land

Xu Chenxing suddenly realized that his grandson had grown up and he couldn't use such tricks in front of him, or his grandson would see through him.

Having figured things out, Xu Chenxing was half-heartedly helped up by her mother and sat down on a chair.

Xu Jianren felt humiliated by his son's question.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Chenxing had never laid a finger on him.

However, Xu Chenxing would not tolerate any resistance from him. If he resisted even slightly, Xu Chenxing would throw a tantrum, smash bowls, or harm himself to force him to admit his mistake.

Over time, he lost his own opinions and only knew how to blindly obey.

Xu Yao's words briefly awakened Xu Jianren's self-esteem.

Enraged, he blurted out a sentence

"Everyone dies eventually, so whoever wants to die can go ahead and die!"

"Xu Wen, Xu Yao, let's go home."

After venting his anger by uttering harsh words, Xu Jianren called his son, grabbed his wife, and slammed the door as they left.

The farce ended just like that. After returning home, Wang Chengyu told her two sons to wash up and go back to their rooms.

The couple inevitably had another argument.

First, Wang Chengyu couldn't help but criticize Xu Jianren.

"I told you to change jobs, but you just won't listen. The salary was so low before, and when the kids were young, it was barely enough to cover our expenses. Now that the kids are older, there are more things to spend money on. What will we do in the future?"

Xu Jianren was also furious, and his voice was so loud it could shatter the ceiling.

"What can we do? If we have money, we'll go for it; if we don't, we won't. There are plenty of people who don't have money, so why do we have to compete with those who do?"

Wang Chengyu became increasingly angry as she thought about it; she had her own selfish motives for marrying Xu Jianren back then.

Aside from family background, she was better than Xu Jianren in every other aspect. The reason she agreed to marry Xu Jianren was that he was quite handsome when he was young.

Secondly, Xu Chenxing took on all the responsibilities, promising to buy them cars, houses, and shops in the future, and to manage all household expenses.

Wang Chengyu thought far ahead. Her family of origin was quite poor, and she suffered a lot of contempt from a young age, which made her quite insecure.

She hopes that her future children can be born into a wealthy family, where they don't have to worry about money and can live happily.

Ultimately, they lack experience and are unaware that the term "pie in the sky" has a long history.

After getting married and having children, and after life taught her countless lessons, she finally realized that actions speak louder than words.

No matter how much money others have, it's not as good as your own ability.

It's too late to regret it, and I don't know what to do.

"Didn't you hear your sister say you're a miser? Your parents and sisters all look down on you. You can't even support your own wife and children. I don't know what the point of your job is."

"With a little effort, we can definitely make our child's life better. Why should they suffer with us?"

Xu Jianren blushed and became angry after being scolded by his wife, but he seemed indifferent.

"So what if they look down on me? They've been looking down on me for a long time."

At least I'm making money; what have you contributed?

These words struck a nerve with Wang Chengyu. This is the tragedy of a housewife; a single sentence from someone can shatter her defenses.

"Don't I want to earn money? Will you pick up and drop off the kids? You don't care about anything at home. Let me ask you, we've been married for over ten years, do you even know how to use our washing machine?"

Where do we pay our water and gas bills? Have you cleaned the toilet or mopped the floor?

Do you even know what size clothes and shoes your child wears? You know nothing, and yet you say I haven't done anything for him?

Seeing Wang Chengyu get angry, Xu Jianren remained silent. Seeing his attitude, Wang Chengyu became even angrier.

"Just because I have to go to work, your sister called me a poor bastard. What were you doing when your sister was scolding me? Were you watching the show?"

You've put all the pressure on me, making me feel like I'm the only one who's not human.

The hoarse roars are the pent-up emotions of a long time, and the angry questions seem to be venting the owner's rage.

Xu Jianren hesitated

"That's my sister, what can I do?"

"Your sister can curse at me all she wants? It's because you're incompetent and you've never stood up for me that your sister dares to curse at me so recklessly."

"So I'm still your wife, and I deserve to be scolded by your family? Wasn't it all for your son's sake? Wasn't it to ease your burden? Does it have nothing to do with you at all?"

Wang Chengyu hated his detached attitude the most. It seemed that she was the only one in the family who wanted a better life, while everyone else wanted to be content with the status quo.

"I have no choice, that's just how I am. Why don't you just find someone rich and capable?"

Xu Jianren, in a fit of despair, ended the argument by slamming the door and leaving.

It's always the same; Xu Jianren always avoids problems.

His specialty was the Cold War; the problems were always the same, and they were never resolved.

Wang Chengyu was completely heartbroken. After a whole night of grief, she called her mother the next day and cried.

Wang's mother was furious. She comforted her daughter, then hung up the phone and called the middleman who had introduced Wang Chengyu and Xu Jianren, and then called Xu Chenxing.

Wang Chengyu was unaware of her mother's actions, and another day passed before she received another call from her mother.

“Chengyu, Mom called that middleman yesterday. I just wanted to ask him if he had clearly explained our family situation when he introduced you to Lao Xu’s family.”

“He said he had made everything clear, so I immediately called your father-in-law and told him directly that he regretted it because he thought our family was poor, and that it wasn’t too late to get a divorce now.”

"Give all the children to their family; we don't want any of them. Let his son find a rich family's daughter."

"Your father-in-law is good at saying nice things. He said he's very satisfied with you, but he definitely didn't mean to look down on our family."

"It's all Mom's fault. She didn't find out properly back then and didn't know that his family was like this."

"Mom will listen to you. If you feel really stifled, then get a divorce. We don't want anything. My daughter can find someone better than him even with her eyes closed after the divorce."

Hearing her mother's voice trembling with anger, Wang Chengyu burst into tears. She comforted her mother for a long time before her mother finally hung up the phone.

She knew her mother was just trying to comfort her, but she was actually contemplating divorce.

The only thing she couldn't bear to part with were her two children. She couldn't afford to raise them herself, and if she left them with Xu Jianren, she was afraid they would grow up to look like him.

This life choice is so difficult.

Later she learned that because of her, Wang's mother and father had a big fight and blamed themselves for a long time, blaming themselves for being incompetent as parents and causing their child to be bullied in her husband's family.

The mother's condition worsened due to emotional distress, excessive self-blame, and the fatigue of the autumn harvest.

At this time, Wang Chengyu was unaware of all this. She was trapped in feelings of inferiority and doubt, unable to extricate herself, and was caught in a dilemma.

Xu Qian's phrase "poor seed" kept lingering in her mind, and every time she thought of it, her heart ached. She hated herself for being incompetent, unable to share her parents' burdens, and even causing her parents to be scolded for her incompetence at such an old age.
