The Incompetent Husbands

Last life, I worked like an ox and a horse. This life, I get to enjoy the good life in comfort.

You became a rich woman with more money than you could spend in your next life. The only trouble was, the money was delivered to your door, and you had to sign for it yourself.

But why has a man grown out of your money?!

Huh? What do you mean, forced bundle deal?

Huh? What do you mean, if I call him "Hubby," I get to enjoy his money, power, and status?

Huh? What do you mean it's all to prevent inflation, and anyway, he'll die before you do? You don't want to get a job and slowly earn money bit by bit, do you?

Of course you refused to get a job.

But when you looked at the four-armed man with two faces, tears suddenly streamed down your cheeks.

Don't think just because you're a workhorse that you don't follow anime. You know exactly who this man is!

Even if he dies the very next second, he won't try to dice you into mango cubes or accidentally cut you into 2.5 pieces!

"Can I swap him for someone else?"

You pointed at the pretty young man nearby, who was breathing faintly and walking as if he might collapse at any moment. "I think that one might die sooner."

"That won't do," the System politely refused. "Only the strongest is a match for you. You two were made for each other."

You: "??"

You: "Stop singing his praises! He's the strongest, sure, but what if he kills me?! Can this little body of mine withstand even one of his fingers?!"

"Oh, don't worry about that," the System assured you. "Just go for it and say, 'Hubby!' He's yours. Other people have their own farm stays, and you can have a view filled with nothing but husbands."

Your hubby stopped hitting people.

But your hubby spent money like water!

And it was all your money he was spending!

Ahhh, your heart hurt so much. You formally requested a replacement!

The System politely refused again.

"Why can't I change him?" you raged. "Are you my System or his System? You watch him spend my money all day long. Doesn't your conscience hurt? What use are you to me?! You useless System!!"

System: "I'm not a useless System. I'm a mother-in-law System."

You: "..."

Tears of despair welled in your eyes.

So it was a mother-in-law after all. No wonder your road to wealth and prosperity was so full of obstacles... You hateful mother-in-law!!

System: "I can provide you with internet access and electronic devices."

Your eyes lit up.

Mother-in-law, my dear mother-in-law, I misunderstood you just now...

System: "Internet costs one tael of gold per day. Everything else costs extra."

You were furious. "I knew it, all mothers-in-law are cut from the same cloth! It's not enough that you spend my money raising your son, now you want to squeeze money out of me too! Why don't you just rob me?!"

There is no shortage of the strongest people in this world.

Your dead husbands could be lined up from the Heian era all the way to the modern day.

The King of Curses, the progenitor of demons, the Supreme Moon, the light of humanity, the king of the dog clan, the strongest shrine maiden: you tried them all.

Recently, you successfully became the head wife of the Gojo family by saying, "Hey, hubby!" Then you discovered that your big hubby and little hubby had started fighting.

You gloated. "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, your sons are fighting."

System: "Where would I get sons?"

You: "??"

After discussing it for ages, you finally discovered it wasn't a "mother-in-law System" at all. It was a "popo System"!

Sheesh, what a mess.

I could hear a bit of an accent in your voice, and I thought you were deliberately acting cute.

The System said wearily, "No wonder you didn't like this one or take an interest in that one. I thought I'd have to send you to meet that man sitting on the golden throne. I never imagined you just wanted me, your white-haired System, to send off a black-haired son..."
