Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Chapter 1413 Lazy Wife 30
Knowing that she would end up spending all her money, the original sister, who had always lived a good life, had to start tightening her belt.

She had lived in the countryside when she was a child, and knowing that her family's situation was not good, she could still tolerate living frugally.

As for her husband, since he can no longer work, even though he can't stand the decline in his quality of life, he can't complain and can only endure it.

But her son couldn't stand it.

When the original body's sister got married and had children, the government had already implemented family planning, and her husband worked in the unit, so naturally she could only have one child. If she had two, the unit would be gone.

Because they only had one child, a son, the family naturally spoiled him from birth. Whether it was the child's grandparents or the original sister and her husband, they all held the child in their hands for fear of dropping him, and held him in their mouths for fear of him melting.

In the 1980s, when many people were not so rich, my sister's son had everything: snacks, toys, etc., everything that the children of wealthy families in the city had. He also never lacked food. In the 1980s, when many people could only eat meat during festivals, my sister's children could eat whatever meat they wanted.

It was completely different from the poor children in my maternal family, who lived a poor life without any snacks or toys, and even had no meat to eat.

It can be said that the original sister's children lived a relatively superior life since childhood, and they had a sense of superiority among their cousins.

But... I don't know since when, the two cousins ​​from my aunt's family (that is, Linlang's family) can live as well as him, which makes him lose his unique sense of superiority. In recent years, even the children from my uncle's family are getting better and better, and their living conditions are almost the same as his family - because Linlang asked them to do manual work, and my original sister's family entered the 1990s, and the factory's performance was not good. The wages were either not paid, or only basic wages were paid, and there were no performance or bonuses. Therefore, the living conditions of my original sister's family have remained at the level of the 1980s and have not kept up with the pace of the times.

As her mother's family's living standards gradually caught up, her son naturally felt less and less superior.

He remembered that when he was a child, his grandparents said that his maternal family was poor. Under the influence of his grandparents, he naturally looked down on his maternal cousins. But he didn't know since when, when other people's living conditions improved, it seemed inappropriate for him to laugh at them for being poor, because sometimes, he felt that the living conditions of his family were not as good as his uncle's family, and of course, they could not be compared with his aunt's family.

In other words, his own family has become the existence he used to look down upon, that is, a poor person.

But his father still had a job at that time, so as long as they didn't tell others about the family situation, they could try to save face.

As a result, his father has lost his job, and not only has he lost his face, but he has also lost his livelihood - the family's living standard has not improved over the years, and it is even declining.

When I was a kid, I could eat meat whenever I wanted, but now it’s the other way around. I have to calculate what I want to eat and can’t eat whatever I want because no one in my family works and there’s no source of income. On the other hand, my relatives’ living conditions are getting better and better every year, and they can eat whatever they want.

He simply couldn't stand such food and had made a fuss, but his mother sighed and told him that the family had no money and if he didn't save money, he would soon be left with nothing.

Not only could he not eat whatever he wanted, but what made him even more speechless was that his father, who loved him the most, actually said to him that he was not a child anymore and that if he graduated from junior high school and failed to get into high school, he should go out to work and the family would have money when he advised them to go out to work and not just do handicrafts at home, saying that they could not make much money doing that. This made him extremely angry.

He didn't want to go out to work! His classmates had all moved to the city in recent years, living in better houses and attending better schools.

Even if they fail to get into high school, he has heard them say that their parents will help them find a high school to go to in the future and they will definitely not go out to work right after graduating from junior high school.

As for him, not only did he not go to a better school, his father even planned to let him go to work after graduating from junior high school, saying that he was no longer considered a child laborer when he was 16 years old, and he could go to work to earn money to support the family. He was almost angry to death! After all, his father is not even 40 years old now. In this era, he is still considered a middle-aged man, not an old man. Others are still working at the age of 40, but he actually planned not to work and rest at home, and then let him, who should have been studying, go to work to support him. What kind of person is he!
He is like this. Even if he goes out to work, he will keep the money he earns for himself. Why should we give it to him?

Besides, he doesn't want to work. He has seen relatives who work, and everyone says that it is very hard. He wants him to study hard, get into college in the future, and do an easy office job instead of working as hard as they do.

So in his heart, he was very afraid of those jobs that were not white-collar jobs and didn't want to do them at all.

Of course, it's not that he was worrying for nothing, but those jobs were really hard to do. He heard from those migrant workers that working in a factory outside, although the salary was higher than in his hometown, it was really hard work. He had to work from 8 am to 12 pm every day. It was so hard, he couldn't stand it! So he wouldn't go to work, he wanted to study! If his parents didn't let him study, he would stay at home like his father, anyway, he wouldn't go to work! After all, his father, an adult, could play at home, why couldn't he, a minor?
As for not working, what will we do if we have no money?

His parents are in their prime and are not worried, so why should they worry about him as a minor?

When her son clamored for delicious food, the original sister could reason with him, saying that the family had no money and could not afford it. But when her son clamored to study and wanted to stop him from studying, the original sister was not as cruel as her husband. She could not say it out loud. After all, studying was a legitimate request. Before her husband was laid off, she was ambitious and wanted her son to get into college and bring honor to the family.

In fact, the main reason was that Linlang's eldest daughter had passed the college entrance examination and was admitted to university. She didn't want her son to fail the exam in the future and appear worse than Linlang's children. So she told her husband to let her son stop studying and go to work after graduating from junior high school. The original sister was unwilling to do so.

But when it comes to high school, the expenses are even higher, and their family doesn’t have the money to afford it, so the original sister couldn’t help but feel worried.

The original sister had no choice but to go to her mother's house and Linlang's house to borrow money.
