Li Xuemei, an office worker in the city, met her boyfriend Du Yajun on campus. Together, they worked hard to make a life for themselves in the big city of Beijing. But with only ordinary university degrees and no connections or influential backgrounds, they suddenly realized that a salary of just a few thousand yuan a month would never be enough to buy even a bathroom in Beijing. By chance, Du Yajun landed a job at a state-owned company in the construction industry, and from then on, the two lived apart for work. Li Xuemei unexpectedly became pregnant. As an older expectant mother with placenta previa and a low-lying fetus, she had no choice but to quit her job and stay home as a full-time mom to protect the pregnancy. Only after returning to family life did she discover that her money-loving mother-in-law was a real piece of work, her seemingly kind sister-in-law had values that left her reeling, and her father-in-law was lazy and gluttonous, never lifting a finger. Gentle as a cat, she now finds herself living through one hardship after another…
This is a book about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and it is being updated continuously.
