Chapter 648: Chapter 648: So What Do You Want?
Unexpectedly, becoming a daughter-in-law of the Zhou Family ant that with every laundry day, she was greeted by a huge pile of clothes. Was this not tornting her, what was it?
“The worst part is, they even throw their underwear at to wash, Zhou Weimin, do you think this is acceptable?”
Upon hearing Su Qing say this, Zhou Weimin fell silent for a long while.
Su Qing’s voice choked up as she urged, “Say sothing!”
“What do you want, then?”
It was one thing to wash the outer garnts for the whole family, but letting his wife wash their underwear was a bit too much. Especially when Zhou Weimin thought about his own wife washing such things for his brothers and their wives, his stomach churned with discomfort.
Su Qing: “Let’s divide the family.”
“That’s impossible,” Zhou Weimin said, “My parents would never agree to it.” He paused briefly, and without waiting for Su Qing to respond, Zhou Weimin added, “I’ll talk to my mother later. From now on, you’ll only wash our clothes, and not bother with others’.”
“Is it really impossible to separate?”
Su Qing was persistent.
Although she often clamored for a divorce, in reality, her true goal was to split the household. After all, divorce was not looked upon favorably in those tis. If they truly divorced, there would definitely be plenty of gossip.
And as the woman, she would undoubtedly hear more unpleasant things.
Besides… she couldn’t return to the city at the mont, and if she stopped living with Zhou Weimin, she would have to move back to the Educated Youth Spot and then rely on the work points she earned to exchange for food rations.
Earning at most five or six work points a day, all the points accumulated over a year could barely afford her enough food to satisfy her hunger, let alone a full al.
Not divorcing while staying in the Zhou Family was obviously different.
Zhou Weimin had a salary, and the elder brother in the army sent ho a monthly allowance. The Zhou Family was not lacking in labor, and although their als weren’t extravagant, at least they could eat their fill and occasionally have so at.
So, no matter how much she caused a stir today, all she wanted was to split the household.
If she truly could not achieve her goal, she had to fight for so benefits for herself.
Now, not only was she getting ten yuan a month, but she also no longer had to wash the unrelated Zhou Family mbers’ clothes. Honestly, she felt quite satisfied with this outco.
“We can’t,”
Zhou Weimin replied without a second thought.
Su Qing: “What about cooking and working?”
Zhou Weimin: “Don’t push your luck! You’re not the only one cooking, and no one said you have to earn a certain number of work points each day. If you think of yourself as a young lady from the old society, it might be difficult to accommodate you in this family.”
“How… how can you say that about ?”
Su Qing forgot to cry, her face color changing rapidly, her tone clearly uneasy and tense, “Do you realize what you’ve just said could ruin ?”
“If you know to be afraid, then don’t position yourself so high,” Zhou Weimin was gradually getting sleepy. He closed his eyes, not intending to speak anymore.
But to his dismay, Su Qing started to make trouble again, “I think you regret it, regret marrying , regret not being able to marry Kang Libao!”
“…Think what you will.”
Zhou Weimin didn’t want to speak but, after a lengthy silence, he finally said sothing, his tone devoid of emotion.
“Kang Libao… Kang Libao is so good that you can’t forget about her, is that it? Ever since we got married, you’ve never shown a kind face. If you think she’s so great, why did you bother with in the first place? Was it just for a mont’s novelty? Now that you have …”
Zhou Weimin’s ears were bombarded with incessant complaints, and he felt incredibly irritable. He pulled up the quilt and wrapped it around his head to muffle Su Qing’s voice a bit.
“I am an educated youth from the city, good-looking, and even popular,”
