WLTGWITU Chapter 29

Lin Jia leaned against the wall, staring at the three portrait paintings.
Still at a loss.
“Jiang Chen, have you thought of anything?” Lin Jia walked over, seeing Jiang Chen frowning, seemingly unable to find a breakthrough.
“The entire room has only these three paintings, nothing else. This sixth round is more difficult than I imagined,” Jiang Chen said truthfully.
At this moment, the comments from people watching the live stream on the dark web kept flooding in.
[Did the sixth round change the rules? Pretty exciting, from finding the mole to the mole escape room]
[I’ve played escape rooms, it’s about finding clues in the room and then figuring out how to escape]
[The top two on the popularity list are together, the effect is directly maxed out]
[This live broadcast is exciting enough, bloody enough, suspenseful enough]

……
Lin Jia then walked to the three paintings, took the three paintings off the wall, and didn’t find anything wrong.
They were just very ordinary wooden frames, except for the different colors of the three frames, there was nothing special about them.
“Black, red, white,” Lin Jia placed the three paintings on the ground, then looked at the wall, “Why are there three different colored frames?”
At this time, the countdown had passed 20 minutes, with 20 minutes remaining.
A nanny is definitely not reassuring. I was thinking of giving my mother-in-law money to help, but she was determined not to, and even said that if there was really no one to take care of the child, I should just quit my job. Listen to that, is that something a grandma would say? Then I asked her if she would help us take care of the child after my sister’s child went to kindergarten, and she said we’d see when the time came, that my mom seemed to be doing a good job taking care of the child. Hearing that, I guess I can’t count on her, and I’m really pissed off. I questioned my mother-in-law, “They’re all your children, why can’t you treat them equally? If my sister’s family has difficulties, doesn’t my family?” She got so angry that she hung up the phone.
You should have your husband think of a solution, he’s basically useless at home anyway. Since your older sister was a good student, she received attention from the family, while your husband was naughty since he was little, had terrible grades, and was only scolded at home. From the birth of the child until now, it’s all been your family helping out, contributing money and effort, while your mother-in-law has only given you 10,000 yuan and only sees her grandson once a month. Sometimes I really suspect that your husband isn’t even their biological son.
How should you deal with a mother-in-law like this?
My husband and I are currently in a long-distance relationship. I work in the city, and he’s a college teacher in a small town in another city. We’ve been weekend spouses for almost two years, and there are a lot of adjustments and a lot of unspoken suffering.
Now that it’s summer vacation, he’s been at home. Some time ago, my husband attended a reunion of his college classmates. When he came back, he told me that many of his classmates were doing very well, several with annual salaries of 500,000, some who had bought two houses in Hangzhou, some who had started their own companies, and some who were pursuing doctorates at famous universities. He felt that he was the worst off, being a college teacher in a remote small town. After this reunion, my husband said that he couldn’t be too complacent, and that he still had to work hard when he was young. We talked all night about our future plans, and he told me a lot, including his future career plans, stage goals, savings plans, and so on. I really appreciated his well-planned ideas and felt that he was particularly motivated and organized. He also made plans for our house. We currently have a 90-square-meter three-bedroom apartment, and my husband plans to buy a 100+ square meter house with a good school district within 5 years to prepare for our child going to kindergarten. My mom is the youngest in the family, but she worries about everything, and I really want her to stay away from these trivial matters.
My second uncle is 60 years old this year. His current second wife has been with him for almost 20 years. Ten years later, the land where they planted trees was expropriated, and they received more than 1.5 million in compensation. They used 800,000 to build a house on their homestead in their hometown, and then my second uncle stopped being honest and started flirting with a widow in the village.
For a while, my second uncle lived directly with the widow, and my second aunt didn’t get a divorce, so they just remained in a stalemate. Then the widow said that her house needed to be renovated and asked my second uncle for 300,000, and my second uncle gave it to her. After he gave it to her, the widow kicked my second uncle out, and my second aunt didn’t say anything and just let my second uncle come home…
To be honest, I’m surprised that my second aunt could accept him returning home. What’s even more outrageous is that my second uncle was already cheated out of money by her, and recently, I don’t know how, he’s gotten entangled with the widow who cheated him out of money again, and he’s been going to her house often again…
Because of this, my second aunt has approached my mom several times, hoping that my mom can persuade my second uncle to return to the family and not be cheated again. My mom has also talked to my second uncle many times, but it’s useless. Several times when she called my second uncle to argue, the widow even snatched the phone and argued with my mom, making my mom short of breath.
The current situation is that my second aunt hopes that my second uncle can return to the family, the widow refuses to let go, and my second uncle is hesitating and wavering, playing both sides. My mom is worried every day that my second uncle will run out of money and then be abandoned by both sides, and what will happen in the end… These trivial matters are really frustrating. I really don’t want to get involved in these things, but seeing my mom worrying every day about things that she shouldn’t be worrying about, I really want to think of a solution for her. But is there a solution?
Then he also made a lot of demands on me. For example, my current salary is 7,000 per month, and he made a plan that my salary level should reach 10,000 in three years. He also made a plan for my savings, hoping that I can save 3,000 per month and gradually increase it every year. Suddenly, I feel a lot of pressure.
My husband isn’t just a talker. He usually focuses on his own papers, and in his spare time, he also finds some part-time jobs, writing articles, etc., to earn some extra money. He is very concerned about my work situation. Seeing that I can’t come up with any plans, he directly gave me a PPT template and asked me to make a PPT every month to report to him on the situation.
In 2002, when I was in the third year of junior high school, I can understand the need to be likable, the self-abasement and hunching that the original poster mentioned, because I was the same. At that time, I was self-conscious about my appearance because of acne and breast development problems. Plus, I was going to school in the county from the town, and my clothes were bought by my mom who did farm work, so I always felt that my clothing style was unsophisticated. My dad was doing some business outside every day, and I also walked with my head down every day. I was sensitive and ambitious inside, but I had to pretend to be carefree on the outside. So, I felt a lot of inner pain. Looking back now, I was just in a sensitive period of adolescence.
Fortunately, although my parents weren’t very rich, they gave me enough living expenses, and I could still save a dozen yuan a week, save it up to buy things myself. There was also an important reason that didn’t allow my inferiority complex to “grow and develop,” which was to study hard, pass the best key high school, and prevent myself from being inferior because of my appearance, after all, at that time I secretly admired a girl who seemed to be shining.
