Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife

Wang Lingzhi heard this, and immediately said, "Auntie, you can tell him that I’m willing to marry into their family, I’m not looking for a son-in-law anymore!"

"Lingzhi!" Wang Xinlai’s wife scolded, clearly unhappy.

Tears swirled in Wang Lingzhi’s eyes, "Mom, it’s fine if I have a child who carries the Wang surname in the future, it’s not necessary to bring in a son-in-law. Guan Cheng is such a good person, I’ll discuss it with him, we’ll have more children, and one of them can have the Wang surname, he surely won’t refuse. Besides, Guan Cheng lives in the Wanglou Brigade, just a few steps away from our home, so he can still take care of you, right? People who marry daughters-in-law usually set up their own households apart from their in-laws, not living together."

Wang Xinlai’s wife cursed, "What do you, a naïve girl, know? If you don’t understand, then step aside! Back then, your father and I had a clear agreement with you when we let you go to school, that you’d stay at home and bring in a son-in-law, and once you agreed, you’re not allowed to go back on your word!"

Of the three daughters, there’s only one who isn’t married yet—can marrying off and bringing in a son-in-law be the same thing?

Letting her marry off would mean one less laborer in the family, leaving just an elderly couple who could only wait for death in their later years.

However, bringing in a son-in-law means gaining a strong worker. When she and her husband are too old to move, having such a son-in-law working and earning work points means they won’t have to worry about food; their daughter could bear more children and spread the branches of the old Wang family.

"Mom!" Wang Lingzhi’s tears suddenly burst forth, "Does your daughter’s happiness matter so little to you?"
