Chapter 80: Standing Up
Evelyn’s words became more and more outrageous, even thinking it was necessary for William Krut and Laura to split things so clearly.
"Just look at your mom—she stays at home all day, only needing to cook for a family of three. The allowance William gives her each month is quite a lot, too; three thousand five hundred. Does a family of three need to spend that much on food? Not only has she not saved any money, but she also asks him for money all the time. What kind of behavior is that?
"Your aunt has a child, yet still goes to work and earns money. But your mom has the audacity to throw a fit when all she does is rest at home. If she doesn’t earn money and relies on William, that’s fine, but she should at least take care of the basic three meals a day, right? Despite all that, she doesn’t even cook; is she a wife or a God at home?
"If it weren’t for William’s good temper, a woman like her would have been divorced long ago!"
Jessie’s face darkened instantly at Evelyn’s words. Who said women were born to take care of children and do housework?
Although she and Kevin had a flash marriage, they both took turns doing household chores at home. Even though he had secretly hired a cleaner, in Jessie’s eyes, both of them were still the ones sharing responsibilities.
This world was unfair to women in many ways, and the ones with thoughts like Evelyn and Mandy were the true tragedies for women.
Kevin noticed Jessie’s anger and wanted to step forward to speak, but he heard his wife open her mouth to refute sharply.
"Is it easy to take care of a child? Your daughter had three children, and you helped take care of them. Ask yourself, is it easy to take care of a child? Aren’t you the one who looks after Aunt Mandy’s children? Of course, she has time to earn money because of that. What about my mom? Who helps her around?
"To put it bluntly, the child my mom gave birth to is your real grandchild. As his grandparents, have you ever properly taken care of him? How dare you bring up Aunt Mandy’s job to criticize my mom?
