Zhang Mei and Chen Xiaojun have been together for fifteen years.
She is a diligent accountant, and all her salary supports her family. She has been living in a rented house with her husband for fifteen years.
Chen Xiaojun has three elder brothers, and everyone in his husband's family is accustomed to asking for money from him.
His mother-in-law is the first to come to him for all her ailments, and his brother's troubles are all waiting for him to pay for them.
Although they clearly witnessed the constant conflicts between Chen Xiaojun and his wife, the three brothers still did not know how to restrain themselves and did not care about Chen Xiaojun's family at all.
As long as Zhang Mei objects even slightly, there will be quarrels, beatings and scoldings.
Chen Xiaojun always puts his family of origin first, takes away her income by force, and endlessly bears all the expenses of her husband's family.
After fifteen years of repeated forbearance, all that remains is endless grievances and moral kidnapping. After countless late nights, Zhang Mei finally saw clearly: Chen Xiaojun's foolishness and filial piety engraved in his bones could never be changed.
There was no violent breakup, but after a long period of suffering, my heart became completely cold little by little.
She made up her mind and filed for divorce decisively.
After three years away from the quagmire, Zhang Mei broke free from the shackles and lived a brand new life.
Chen Xiaojun is still firmly dragged down by his family, and his life is miserable.
A woman trapped in a marriage and constantly consumed by her foolish and filial husband can always see herself in Zhang Mei's story.
