Chapter 3: The Uncomfortable Married Life Three

  But things nailed on the board have changed again.

  When the house started pre-selling, they had a family meeting to discuss and consider what size and how many floors of the house to buy.

  Qiu Ye means that it's better to buy a house with good lighting, not too big, three rooms and one living room of about 100 square meters is enough. After all, this may be the only time in her life to buy a house, so she must choose a good floor.

  As a result, her mother-in-law said to let them buy the first floor. Qiu Ye was very puzzled, the first floor is too low, usually in the morning there may not be any sunlight at all, it's so damp.

  However, her mother-in-law insisted on the first floor, and no matter what anyone said, it was useless. The more they talked, the more she would say: "If you want to buy, then just buy the first floor; if not, then you can figure out your own solution."

  Qiu Yeqin lay in bed for three days, and she thought to herself, if she had the money to buy a house, she wouldn't have to suffer this humiliation for two years.

  Wang Wei's salary has been in his mother-in-law's hands for two years, and Qiu Ye's salary is also mostly filled with household expenses every month. They save a little money, and usually there's not much left after buying gifts. It can be said that they don't have any savings. Now the mother-in-law says this, which means she has no money, so she doesn't have the right to speak.

  In the end, dignity cannot compete with money, so Qiu Ye lowered his head and thought that as long as he had a place to live, it was enough.

  The old lady went to the sales office and chose a house that she liked, with a small garden on the first floor. The building area is 136 square meters. The salesgirl calculated it for her: the small garden on the first floor was given away for free; the construction cost per square meter was 3,000 yuan, and the total housing price was around 4.1 million yuan.

  Qiu Ye heard the salesgirl's quote and secretly felt delighted. If they were buying a house on their own, forget about a 136-square-meter apartment, they couldn't even afford a toilet. Luckily, her husband's family was relatively well-off, otherwise buying a house would be just a dream.

  It turned out that this was just a dream, and when she got home, her mother-in-law ruthlessly shattered the dream.

  "Xiao Wei, Qiu Ye, your father and I are laid-off workers, we haven't received our wages for many years. The little savings we had are almost all spent. We were hoping to get paid this year so that we could save some more for you, but there are many people in our household and expenses are high. Every day, we have to spend money on food, firewood, oil, salt, and everything else, so nothing is left over this year either."

  "Now you two are going to buy a house, and as your elders, we can't just sit back and watch. We'll give you 2 million yuan, and the rest is up to you to figure out."

  Qiu Ye was undoubtedly struck by a thunderbolt on a clear day. How could it be said that they were going to buy a house, but now it's become 200,000 yuan? Where would the remaining half go?

  "Mom, didn't we agree before we got married that you would buy a house for us..." Qiu Ye asked with a choked voice.

  "Back then, weren't house prices not that expensive? Who knew it would rise so much in just two years... Qiu Ye, we're all family, at this time can't differentiate between you and me. You've also saved up quite a bit over the past two years, if really not possible, go discuss with your mom, being one's own child, when buying a house should get some support." Her mother-in-law said with an implied meaning.

  Qiu Ye suddenly realized that her mother-in-law was actually thinking of the money in her natal family's treasury.

  Qiu Ye was extremely indignant at the time, she had never seen such a shameless mother-in-law, but since she had gotten herself into this situation, there was nothing to be done about it now, she took a deep breath and said.

  "Mom, I'm now the daughter-in-law of the old Wang family. I don't have the face to go back to my mother's house to ask for money to buy a house. Besides, I still have an older brother. My mom had said before that all the property of the old Qiu family belongs to my brother. As a married-out daughter, I'm like spilled water, without the qualifications to be remembered."

  Since you don't have that much money in your hands, then we don't need to buy such a big house. We'll just buy as big of a house as the money can afford.

  Qiu Ye said this and then returned to her own room. She knew that her mother-in-law would definitely make a fuss about it.

  After Qiu Ye left, her mother-in-law was crying and scolding in the house, every word and sentence was aimed at Qiu Ye, without any regard for her own son, saying whatever she wanted to say.

  "Ah, I bought such a big house for what? Not for you two ungrateful things. You sing better than you speak, marrying into my family means you're a daughter-in-law of the Wang family. For two years now, I haven't seen you contribute a single penny, where did all that money go? Always taking big and small packages to your mother's house, and now you're so clear about dividing things up. Son, how could you marry such a deceitful woman?"

  Qiu Ye was lying in the house and heard her mother-in-law say such a ridiculous thing, she couldn't help it anymore, pushed open the door and prepared to have a good argument with her mother-in-law.

  Wang Wei saw Qiu Ye walking in with a gloomy face and was afraid she would say something unpleasant, so he pulled her back to his own room. Qiu Ye struggled as they walked, "Wang Wei, let go! Today I'm going to have a good talk with your mom. This bullying has gone too far, even to the point of affecting my work. Where did my money go? Doesn't she know? Who's been calling me at my workplace every day, telling me to buy this and that? Now her mouth is spouting nonsense, is there still any justice?"

  Wang Wei went into the house, closed the door and immediately gave Qiu Ye a slap in the face. Qiu Ye was stunned at that moment, never expecting Wang Wei to resort to violence. After being deceived by them in their own home, Qiu Ye let out a loud cry and rushed forward to fight with Wang Wei. Her mother-in-law was still standing outside the door, saying: "She deserves to be beaten, this daughter-in-law is not well-behaved, doesn't know who's the master of the house."

  The farce ended with Qiu Ye being taken to the hospital. Qiu Ye was slapped unconscious by Wang Wei, and when she came to, she was already in the hospital. Wang Wei sat beside her, looking regretful, and apologized profusely as soon as he saw that she had woken up.

  Qiu Ye was heartbroken. She had never thought that Wang Wei would hit her, so she felt that there was no way to continue their life together and decided to divorce Wang Wei.

  She had just made up her mind to divorce, and the doctor told her another unexpected news, she was pregnant. It was because of pregnancy that she suffered a shock and fainted.

  Then, Wang Wei slapped himself in the face and invited Qiu's mother to persuade her. His mother also sent a bowl of old hen soup to the hospital, making Qiu Ye's determined heart waver again.

  Qiu's mother said: "This woman, entering one family and leaving another is not that easy. Moreover, you already have a child, and if you get your own house in the future, it will only be better and better."

  Qiu Ye and her mother-in-law each took a step back, and her mother-in-law chose another 100-square-meter first-floor apartment. She still gave 200,000 yuan, and the remaining 100,000 yuan was borrowed by Wang Wei and Qiu Ye together.

  The two of them borrowed 100,000 yuan, and every month they deducted the housing fund money, and they still had to pay more than 200 yuan. Qiu Ye thought that as long as she could stay away from her mother-in-law in the future, even if it was a bit difficult every month, she would do it.
