Amelia wrinkled her nose. “So your husband didn’t come back and went to see the house?
Ashley leaned on the table tiredly and said, “Well, it doesn’t matter if I go or not. It’s all them who are talking. They don’t consider me at all. I’m starting to suspect if I’m even the one that wants to buy a house.” After a pause, she continued, “Actually, it wasn’t like this at the beginning. I said that I wanted to change houses. On the first day, my husband and I went to look at houses, but the next day, my husband insisted on bringing his mother along. After his mother finished looking, she said that she wanted to find someone to refer to and then brought her relatives to look at it. Some time ago, my husband’s cousin even came. She was very domineering and said this wouldn’t do, that wouldn’t do. Moreover, she told me that if I change houses, I have to be more frugal in the future. I shouldn’t buy any skincare products if I can. Also, she said that I don’t have to go out to work, so I don’t need to dress up. I’m speechless. ”
Elmer was really speechless. He rolled his eyes. “Since you’re not satisfied, just say it. If you’re unhappy, just say it. Why are you holding it in?
Amelia told Ashley what Elmer had said. Ashley shook her head. “Forget it, I don’t want to say it.”
Amelia :”…”
Elmer was speechless. Didn’t she deserve to be bullied? She was unhappy, but she didn’t say anything. What did she want?
Ashley continued to complain, “I don’t understand. Shouldn’t the money I earn be mine? Why do they still care if I buy a house or not?!”
Amelia: “…”
Elmer: “…”
This time, even George could not stand it anymore.
“Besides…” Ashley wanted to continue complaining, but Amelia covered her mouth. “Alright, Auntie, stop talking.” She was so angry. The more she listened, the angrier she became. Although she could not understand some of the things Ashley said now, she felt so angry just listening to it!
Elmer could not understand Ashley’s thoughts. Her husband did not work or earn money. The entire family relied on Ashley. How could Ashley live so aggrievedly?
Amelia thought for a moment and asked, “Auntie, why don’t you communicate with your husband and tell him about your dissatisfaction?
Ashley complained, “My husband was very chauvinistic. When I returned to my hometown, everyone thought that he was earning money to support the family. They thought that he had an annual salary of a million dollars. He didn’t explain to anyone and was misunderstood just like that. At home, he had to say whatever he wanted. Otherwise, he would be unhappy. During the new year, we quarreled over a small matter. I said that I wanted to go home in a fit of pique, but he really asked me to leave. I walked back to the city from the countryside alone for more than two hours. By then, it was already midnight. There was not a single car during the new year. When I returned to my house in the city, it was already past two in the morning.”
Amelia understood. It was probably at that time that Ashley was pestered by the cowardly ghost. One would always encounter ghosts if they walked too much at midnight, not to mention that Ashley had walked alone for more than two hours.
Amelia asked, “Didn’t your husband look for you?
Ashley shook her head. “He doesn’t even know that I’m really gone. I cried as I walked. I was almost in despair. What’s the point of earning so much money?
Amelia’s face was filled with confusion. “Then why didn’t you tell your husband?”
Ashley sighed. “I don’t want to talk about it, there’s no point.”
Amelia :”…”
Elmer:
George frowned. He had never liked to meddle in other peoples business, nor did he like to gossip. However, this time, he really could not stand it anymore. He asked Ashley coldly, “What are you after?” If the person who earned money to support the family had to swallow his anger, what was the point of earning money? The meaning of working hard to earn money was to make yourself walk upright. You did not have to listen to anyone’s expressions. You could live as you wanted. When others wanted to bully you, you could hit them back! Elmer crossed his arms and shook his head. “This kind of person deserves it.”
Amelia nodded and said, ‘Yes, you must divorce!”
At the mention of divorce, Ashley hesitated for a moment and said, “Actually, my husband is quite good. At least he’s fooling around outside…”
These words made him speechless. Elmer did not know how to refute.
Amelia asked curiously, “But isn’t that normal?” The two of them were married and loyal to each other.. Wasn’t that what they should do?
