Chapter 1919: A Giant Baby That Never Got Weaned
An Jinwei had disliked this woman since their first blind date. However, his parents had pressured him, so he had no choice but to get married.
To a certain extent, An Jinwei was like a giant baby that never got weaned. He obeyed all his parents’ arrangements. His parents had arranged his previous marriage with Chen Ning, and now, his next marriage was also the arrangement of his parents.
If An Jinwei saw that his ex-wife was living very poorly, he would definitely be happy to start a new life without her. However, the current Chen Ning was living a great life, a life way better than his. She was capable, bold, and captivatingly charming.
With this comparison, his new wife was bad. Even if he was going to take a new wife, he had to marry a wife that was better than Chen Ning. His current wife simply could not compare.
Due to his unwillingness to accept the situation, An Jinwei did not care about this wife at all. He ignored her just as he ignored Chen Ning in the past.
In any case, he only took a wife so that she could take care of the house and serve the family.
However, this wife of his was not someone to be underestimated. Since she had gone through a divorce before, she was now more selfish and knew that she had to take action to secure a good life. Hence, she made a terrible ruckus to gain possession of An Jinwei’s payroll card.
In the An family, it was practically treason for the wife to hold the economic power of the family. The An family parents didn’t agree, and An Jinwei also didn’t agree. If An Jinwei had agreed, in the future, whenever he wanted to buy even just some little thing, he would have to ask his wife for the money. How could a man like him accept this?
However, the woman threatened to get a divorce if the An family didn’t agree. The divorce would tear the family apart again. The An family couldn’t take this constant torment.
With no other choice, An Jinwei’s father told him to give his payroll card to the daughter-in-law. Finally, the daughter-in-law stopped making a ruckus.
The entire An family was exhausted, so if a compromise would allow them to have a short period of peace, then they would compromise. As of now, An Jinwei was already past 30 years old, but he didn’t have a single child.
There was Nannan, but she wasn’t with the An family. Hence, An Jinwei’s mother kept urging her new daughter-in-law to hurry up and get pregnant.
The wife had to deal with this pressure and nagging every single day. It wasn’t like a child could be born just because of some words. So then, they started fighting.
It was very irritating to be told every day to hurry up and have a child, so the conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was very big. They found each other’s existence an eyesore and every trivial issue erupted into a big fight.
Every little thing, even just a glance, would result in a family war.
Since the atmosphere at home was so unpleasant, An Jinwei also wasn’t in a good state of mind. He had to work every day, but when he came home, he had to face such an unpleasant environment.
It was at this time that An Jinwei would miss Chen Ning quite a lot. Chen Ning had always kept the house tidy so when he went home, he never had to worry about anything.
His parents kept urging him to have a child, so An Jinwei always got a little scared when night fell. He felt like he was a pig that was being used for breeding purposes.
Pregnancy was the type of thing that was less likely to occur the more anxious you were. An Jinwei always just rushed to get the job done every time, he didn’t feel any pleasure from the event at all.
When his wife didn’t get pregnant, she pushed all the responsibility onto An Jinwei. After all, she did have a child in the past.
However, An Jinwei felt that the responsibility didn’t lie with him. He also had a daughter.
In any case, in a marriage without any affection, the two parties would never compromise because of love. On the contrary, they would bicker over the smallest things. Rather than saying they were husband and wife, it was more accurate to call them enemies.
Just living together was a kind of torture.
Meanwhile, as Ning Shu started getting more and more cases, she gradually gained a reputation in the lawyer industry and people started calling her a gold-medal lawyer.
Whenever she had free time, she would spend time with the child or practice memorizing legal provisions. In any case, there was no harm in familiarizing herself with them. After all, they might come into use in the future.
When Nannan turned almost 4 years old, 2333’s voice appeared, “Task complete. Would you like to leave the task world?”
Ning Shu nodded. “Leave.”
Ning Shu gave Nannan who was still asleep a kiss, then she felt a bout of dizziness and had returned to the system space.
“Phew…” Ning Shu let out a long sigh and relaxed a bit. She took a deep whiff of the elegant scent coming from the flowerpot, and her mood instantly became calm.
She truly felt that the most complicated and annoying things in the world were those trivial matters. They couldn’t be said to be some great hatred, but they tormented people the most.
If someone was able to endure such a situation year after year, then they were practically a saint.
