No one considered her; she could only think for herself.
Wang Yuemei used to live in the dormitory, sleeping there, but spending most of her time at the Wang Family home, and was on average terms with her dorm mates.
But after starting to date Zhao Tianhe, she rarely went back to the Wang Family home and grew closer to her dorm mates, especially when Zhao Tianhe occasionally brought her some snacks that she shared with them, instantly tightening their bond.
The preference for sons over daughters was still quite severe.
These girls, of course, began to look out for themselves.
After hearing it a lot, Wang Yuemei finally came to a sudden realization that she had become the family’s workhorse, the type given just enough food to not starve to death.
"Okay, ask your auntie and see," Mr. Wang thought of Auntie Wang, a distant relative who had introduced the youngest sister.
Wang Yuemei breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, Dad, it’s getting late, I’ll head back to the factory."
"Go ahead!" All the dishes at home were washed.
No sooner had Wang Yuemei left than the two daughters-in-law took the children out for a stroll.
"Old man, Yuemei isn’t as pretty as Dongmei; it’s not good to delay any further."
Mr. Wang was someone who cared about his reputation.
If his daughter were to remain unmarried until an older age, he didn’t know how many people would gossip about him behind his back.
"Let’s ask around first," he said.
Mrs. Wang, taking advantage of the time left, went straight to Auntie Wang to discuss the matter.
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll make sure to fight for this, but this lad has bought a house, after all, having a house nowadays is a good thing."
As for the house and such, they wouldn’t gain a cent from it.
"Auntie, that means we’ll have to trouble you with this."
"Sister-in-law, I only thought of introducing this young man to your daughter because I find him quite decent," Auntie Wang reassured.
When Zhao Tianhe came back, he noticed several people looking at him.
"Third Brother, why are you all staring at me?"
Zhao Tianlei cleared his throat, as if to suggest that staring at someone was somewhat impolite.
"How was your first visit?"
Being all family, Zhao Tianhe began to complain, "Auntie had told me before that Yuemei did everything at home, I didn’t believe it at first. No matter what, she has two older brothers, and these brothers are both married; shouldn’t household chores be shared? But no, today when I went to the Wangs’, no one came out to meet me. Once inside, everyone was surrounding me in that small, partitioned living room. The kitchen was where Yuemei and her mom were busy. After the meal, it was still Yuemei and her mom hustling, and from the start, her sisters-in-law never even stepped foot in the kitchen.
Plus, observing her family members, it seems that usually it’s Yuemei and her mom who do the chores."
Yun Xiaoxiao was taken aback.
It was rare to see a mother-in-law work while the wife didn’t.
But this wasn’t just one daughter-in-law not doing chores, it was both of them.
Today, at the very least, was the day a new son-in-law comes over for introductions, and these two sisters-in-law didn’t even bother to help in the kitchen.
I think it’s all because they’ve been spoiled.
I couldn’t handle it, Wang Yuemei’s sisters-in-law didn’t do housework at their parents’ home.
If their parents’ home conditions were good, they wouldn’t possibly marry Wang Yuemei’s brothers.
Zhao Tianhe sighed deeply, "They seemed to look down on me, with insinuations that I bought a house on credit and couldn’t support Yuemei."
"It’s not that you can’t support her, but that you’re in debt now and might not be able to afford a big dowry."
With such a family, if the brother-in-law really married Wang Yuemei, there would likely be many troublesome matters in the future.
