Amelia wrinkled her nose. âSo your husband didnât come back and went to see the house?
Ashley leaned on the table tiredly and said, âWell, it doesnât matter if I go or not. Itâs all them who are talking. They donât consider me at all. Iâm starting to suspect if Iâm even the one that wants to buy a house.â After a pause, she continued, âActually, it wasnât like this at the beginning. I said that I wanted to change houses. On the first day, my husband and I went to look at houses, but the next day, my husband insisted on bringing his mother along. After his mother finished looking, she said that she wanted to find someone to refer to and then brought her relatives to look at it. Some time ago, my husbandâs cousin even came. She was very domineering and said this wouldnât do, that wouldnât do. Moreover, she told me that if I change houses, I have to be more frugal in the future. I shouldnât buy any skincare products if I can. Also, she said that I donât have to go out to work, so I donât need to dress up. Iâm speechless. â
Elmer was really speechless. He rolled his eyes. âSince youâre not satisfied, just say it. If youâre unhappy, just say it. Why are you holding it in?
Amelia told Ashley what Elmer had said. Ashley shook her head. âForget it, I donât want to say it.â
Amelia :ââŠâ
Elmer was speechless. Didnât she deserve to be bullied? She was unhappy, but she didnât say anything. What did she want?
Ashley continued to complain, âI donât understand. Shouldnât the money I earn be mine? Why do they still care if I buy a house or not?!â
Amelia: ââŠâ
Elmer: ââŠâ
This time, even George could not stand it anymore.
âBesidesâŠâ Ashley wanted to continue complaining, but Amelia covered her mouth. âAlright, Auntie, stop talking.â She was so angry. The more she listened, the angrier she became. Although she could not understand some of the things Ashley said now, she felt so angry just listening to it!
Elmer could not understand Ashleyâs thoughts. Her husband did not work or earn money. The entire family relied on Ashley. How could Ashley live so aggrievedly?
Amelia thought for a moment and asked, âAuntie, why donât you communicate with your husband and tell him about your dissatisfaction?
Ashley complained, âMy husband was very chauvinistic. When I returned to my hometown, everyone thought that he was earning money to support the family. They thought that he had an annual salary of a million dollars. He didnât explain to anyone and was misunderstood just like that. At home, he had to say whatever he wanted. Otherwise, he would be unhappy. During the new year, we quarreled over a small matter. I said that I wanted to go home in a fit of pique, but he really asked me to leave. I walked back to the city from the countryside alone for more than two hours. By then, it was already midnight. There was not a single car during the new year. When I returned to my house in the city, it was already past two in the morning.â
Amelia understood. It was probably at that time that Ashley was pestered by the cowardly ghost. One would always encounter ghosts if they walked too much at midnight, not to mention that Ashley had walked alone for more than two hours.
Amelia asked, âDidnât your husband look for you?
Ashley shook her head. âHe doesnât even know that Iâm really gone. I cried as I walked. I was almost in despair. Whatâs the point of earning so much money?
Ameliaâs face was filled with confusion. âThen why didnât you tell your husband?â
Ashley sighed. âI donât want to talk about it, thereâs no point.â
Amelia :ââŠâ
Elmer:
George frowned. He had never liked to meddle in other peoples business, nor did he like to gossip. However, this time, he really could not stand it anymore. He asked Ashley coldly, âWhat are you after?â If the person who earned money to support the family had to swallow his anger, what was the point of earning money? The meaning of working hard to earn money was to make yourself walk upright. You did not have to listen to anyoneâs expressions. You could live as you wanted. When others wanted to bully you, you could hit them back! Elmer crossed his arms and shook his head. âThis kind of person deserves it.â
Amelia nodded and said, âYes, you must divorce!â
At the mention of divorce, Ashley hesitated for a moment and said, âActually, my husband is quite good. At least heâs fooling around outsideâŠâ
These words made him speechless. Elmer did not know how to refute.
Amelia asked curiously, âBut isnât that normal?â The two of them were married and loyal to each other.. Wasnât that what they should do?
