It describes Lin Wan's daily life in detail: getting up early in the morning to prepare breakfast, sending children to school, buying groceries and doing housework, taking care of the elderly, handling household chores, waiting for her husband to come home... All year round, but no one recognizes her.
Her husband thinks she is "relaxed at home", her children think her "nagging is useless", and her mother-in-law thinks she "enjoys happiness".
2. Self-disappearance
Lin Wan dug out old things and saw the university's design works and award certificates. She thought of her past dreams. Compared with now, she only has firewood, rice, oil and salt left. She feels disappointed but dare not express it.
She has no social life, no income, and no personal time. She even has to hesitate to buy a piece of clothing she likes.
3. Conflicts begin to appear
After her husband got promoted, he had more social activities, came home late, lost contact, and became more impatient;
The son is rebellious and talks back, and dislikes his mother for not knowing how to study and not keeping up with the times;
Her mother-in-law comes to visit her frequently and is always picky about her, accusing her of not being able to manage the household and spending money recklessly;
During a family quarrel, the husband blurted out: "I earn all the money in the family, why are you dissatisfied?"
Lin Wan was shaken for the first time in her marriage and life.
