Chapter 1883: Because You Are Not a Good Wife
An Jinwei's father was very dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law. He threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray. The room was filled with heavy smoke. Ning Shu turned around to leave.
"You, wait a minute." An Jinwei's father stopped Ning Shu. "Some things should be clarified. Your mother-in-law should tell you these things, but she is also lazy and irresponsible."
"Do you know why Jinwei insists on divorcing you?" An Jinwei's father asked.
Why divorce? He was afraid of trouble, afraid of losing face…
"Because you are not a good wife. Everyone in this world has gone through disagreements, but you make trouble at the slightest grievance. You don’t take the family’s honor into consideration at all," An Jinwei’s father said. "What benefit do you get from kicking up such a fuss?"
Ning Shu just grinned, of course there were benefits. Why else would she do it?
"Father-in-law, I can be a good daughter-in-law, but my husband's family is not a good one. I can suffer grievances, but just because I am at a low point in my life right now, you guys plan on abandoning me. What worth do the wrongs that I’ve suffered have?" Ning Shu said lightly, "People will always protest against injustice."
Since you had to endure anyway, just endure it even if you’re wronged.
"If you want a family to accept you, why can't you be wronged a little? It is only after you’ve endured these grievances that the family can accept you and treat you as a member, but look at what you’re doing now," An Jinwei’s father said. "No matter where you are, whether it is work or family, only sacrifices can give you a harvest and make people accept you.
"Your actions make us unable to accept you."
Marrying into a family meant that you had to bow and scrape, suffer wrongs, and beg the family to accept you!? What kind of logic was that!?
"Hahaha…" Ning Shu couldn't help but laugh. "How can a family compare to work? At least the grievances from work give me money that allows me to survive. With the grievances I am faced with in the family, so much work that I can’t even finish it in a day, and having to raise a baby, all I get is recognition from the family."
Ning Shu chanted Amitabha Buddha in her heart. Fortunately, she died and became a task taker. She could break away from the marriage and reproduction values of ordinary humans.
Sacrifice and dedication depended on whether it was worth it or not, especially for people with no blood relations.
If she encountered a good person, she was more than happy to do some things for them, but if she met a cold-hearted person?
"Isn’t the family feeding you?" An Jinwei's father said with a dark expression.
Ning Shu nodded. "There is no shortage of food, but I’m just like a beggar receiving alms. If I went and got any random job to earn some money so that I could eat and drink as I pleased, it would be more comfortable than serving you at home."
Ning Shu suddenly realized that with her mindset, she was destined to be single for life!
Usually, a woman's success depended upon how many men liked and how many men loved her, so from that point of view, it seemed that Ning Shu was a total loser.
No matter how successful a woman was, how successful her career was, if no man liked her, she would be ridiculed. Look at how much she earned, but there still wasn’t a man who liked her. She couldn’t get married and no one wanted her.
Ning Shu: …
"If you think that way, and feel that the An family has wronged you, divorce Jinwei and find a place where you don't feel wronged," An Jinwei's father said.
No matter how much was said, he still wanted to abandon this useless daughter-in-law.
Ning Shu took a deep breath and smiled slightly. "Father-in-law, you told me to bear with it if I was wronged. Now, I’m sitting in confinement and you’re talking to me, wanting me to divorce your son. It would be weird if I could bear it.”
"Father-in-law, you should smoke less. There’s a just-given-birth-mother and a newborn in the family. Don't you know how to sacrifice a little for the family? Tsk tsk tsk…" Ning Shu raised her hand and waved the smoke away before returning to the bedroom.
The An family simply never practiced what they preached.
Back in the bedroom, Ning Shu took out her mobile phone and called An Jinwei.
