Chapter 513 Exchange (1)
"He is away from home all day long, and I am the only one doing all the housework. The eldest child is ten years old, the second child is seven, and the youngest is only three years old. The little ones need to be taken care of, so I have to do everything from washing clothes to cooking and taking care of the children. My parents-in-law always find fault with me, complaining that I am not doing my job well. They whisper in my ears every day, asking me which daughter-in-law is good for her husband. He married me, but I can't make money and I am away from home every day. I am busy from morning to night and can't even have a hot meal. Every time I have to eat a few mouthfuls of rice with the leftover soup of my parents-in-law..." the woman said silently.
Everyone looked at the man with condemnation in their eyes, but many men frowned and reflected on themselves, wondering if they were just like the other men and did not care enough about their wives at home.
"How long have you been married to him?" asked Ji Xiaowu.
"It's been ten years. I've been married to him since I was fourteen." The woman said silently, "It turns out that so much time has passed..."
She was so busy every day that she never thought about the fact that she had been working hard in this family for ten years.
"Did you hear that? Ten whole years, just ten years of hard work." Ji Xiaomu looked at the man, "Have you done anything for her in these ten years? Have you ever washed a piece of clothing for her, cooked a meal for her, or helped her with housework? Even once? Have you done anything for her?"
"...No." The man lowered his head guiltily, "These are things women do...I'm tired from being outside every day."
"Haha, does she enjoy herself at home every day?" Mother Ji was so angry that she laughed.
"...Aren't you enjoying yourself at home?" the man asked.
"Can your family's enjoyment make people like this?" Ji Xiaomu said coldly, "She works from morning to night, and you call this enjoyment? Why don't you switch places, you stay at home to take care of your parents every day, and she goes out to work?"
"How could anyone want her, a woman?" the man asked immediately.
"How much money can you earn in a day?" Ji Xiaowu raised her eyebrows and looked at the man.
"About four or five hundred coins." The man didn't understand what Ji Xiaomu meant, but he said it anyway.
"If she comes to work in my teahouse, I will pay her 500 coins a day, and you stay at home to take care of your parents. How about that?" said Aunt Ji indifferently.
"Really?" When the woman heard what Ji Xiaomu said, she was stunned for a second and said happily.
"How can this be possible?" The man panicked. What the hell is going on? "How can a woman go to work while a man stays at home?"
"Don't you think you're enjoying yourself at home? Wouldn't it be nice to let you enjoy yourself?" Ji Xiaomu sneered.
"That's right, don't you feel comfortable at home? Then just stay at home." The girl behind Ji Xiaomu couldn't help but say.
"Yes! You just stay at home doing laundry and cooking, and you run around all day long and your income is still uncertain. Now you pay this sister 500 yuan a day to work with us, and you don't have to run around in the sun and rain. What else are you not satisfied with?" The girl who was almost slapped by the woman also spoke up.
"This, this, this..." The man was speechless. It sounded good, but it just felt against the rules.
"Think it's too little? Then eight hundred coins!" Aunt Ji raised the price.
"I can do it, I can do it. Not eight hundred, I'll do it for five hundred!" the woman said hastily, no longer as aggressive as she was at the beginning, and she even offered to do it for five hundred.
"This..." The man looked at the people watching the show around him, begging them to speak for him, but the people watching the show turned their heads away and pretended not to see anything.
"It's settled then. You can come to work tomorrow." Ji Xiaomu pointed at the woman.
