The more Mother Lin thought about it, the angrier she got. Following that, there was an indescribable tiredness and bitterness. This feeling gradually engulfed her like a tidal wave. Thinking about how many people at home were waiting for her to take care of them, with so many housework tasks that seemed to have no end… This feeling was too terrifying.

She was a senior teacher in the school. Every day, after Wu Man left, she would also go give lessons to the students. Now that Wu Man did not care about these things, it naturally fell on her head. She had never thought that housework was such a tiring thing. She had just finished mopping up Lin Ziqian’s room when he casually threw something on the floor. The clothes that she had washed were thrown everywhere. She was asked to cook and wash the dishes.

Because of these endless trivial matters, she was often absent-minded when preparing for lessons. Her grades in the class had been dropping for the past two months, and the leader had already talked to her several times, but what could she do? No one could sympathize with her, and no one could help her.

When the breakfast was served, Lin Yuxuan poked the eggs on the plate and asked her why she put sugar in the eggs with dissatisfaction. Although she repeatedly explained that she had accidentally regarded sugar as salt, not only Lin Yuxuan but her other son and her husband were also complaining about how terrible the meal was.

“I won’t say anything if the seasoning is wrong, but the taste is really hard to describe in a word.” Father Lin wiped his mouth. In front of him was a half-eaten meal. “It’s really becoming more and more difficult to swallow. If this continues, everyone will be hungry and thin. Can’t you improve your cooking skills?”

Mother Lin looked at her family and moved her mouth. She voiced out her thoughts. “Yesterday, the school leader came to talk to me. He said that there’s a chance for me to go on a business trip to further my studies… If I leave for half a year, my pension will be doubled. By then, our family won’t have to worry about money and we can go out to eat every day.”

Father Lin slammed the table, causing the bowls and chopsticks on the table to vibrate. He glared at her and said, “Nonsense! Don’t think about such nonsense! As a woman, you should be doing housework at home. You don’t need to worry about your pension. How much money can you have? It’s fine to continue working if you do housework at home. But now, you can even have such strange thoughts. How ridiculous!”

After saying that, Father Lin snorted coldly. “Don’t think about all that nonsense. I will support you. Also, listen to my advice. Give up your job as a form teacher as soon as possible! This way, you will have more time to take care of the housework at home. When the time comes, you can polish your cooking skills. Then, you won’t have to eat such a terrible meal!”

The criticism and disapproval from her family made it more and more unbearable for Mother Lin. She thought that all of this was caused by Wu Man’s willfulness and that she had encroached on her working time! 

I must pay her back, Mother Lin thought hatefully in her heart.

Wu Man gradually became familiar with her three colleagues in the bank. In the huge office, only four workstations were occupied. The rest of the place was empty. It turned out that the department she worked in was a department set up by various leaders for their women and relatives. The colleagues who worked with her seemed ordinary, but in fact, they all had great backgrounds.

“Take him for example.” The colleague who was in charge of helping to introduce her pointed at the shy boy next to her. “He’s the son of the director.”

“I’m the director’s sister-in-law, and the woman who dresses more fashionably is the vice mayor’s mistress.”

The colleague in charge of the introductions did not lower her voice, so when she said the last two words, the latter naturally turned her head around, but she did not look angry. Instead, she gave Wu Man a polite smile, which was considered a greeting..
