I once looked down on people who do wechat business. Selling cheap and inferior products and brushing the circle of friends with crudely made sentences. “49.9 yuan group fashion shoes”, “9.9 yuan lipstick can’t be bought at a loss, can’t be bought at a loss”, what else is “Xiti” luxury car bag.. When I see it, I will block the other party’s circle of friends and make fun of how the other party lives like this and needs to pull down his face to make a living.
It wasn’t until I married into a “wealthy family” and became a stay-at-home mother in a cage that I was suffocated by my unscrupulous mother-in-law, mummy’s cheating husband, and postpartum depression that I almost committed suicide. I didn’t expect that becoming a wechat merchant would be my last straw.
Sister Hui
, at that time, the river was rolling in front of me every day. After I graduated from
university, I got married and lived in this 300 Pingjiang view room with a market price of nearly 20 million yuan. I had my mother-in-law and nanny to take care of my daily life, so I had no worries about food and clothing. But I often sit at home and look out of the window in a trance, and this beautiful house is more like a cage for me.
My best friends all thought that I married into a wealthy businessman’s family, and I didn’t have to work after giving birth to a baby, and I had rich clothes and jade food every day. I’m ashamed to talk about the bits and pieces of my life. In today’s fashionable words, when I complain, they say I’m “Versailles.”. Slowly, I became an island.
The nanny is my mother-in-law’s eyes, 24 hours a day to intervene in my life-my mother-in-law even installed a camera in the living room, ostensibly to guard against theft, but actually to monitor my every move. I live
with my mother-in-law because I have no choice. The house was bought by the father-in-law who was doing business before his death. He was the real economic pillar of the family and left a good legacy to the family after his death. Husband Abin is a local civil servant, looks Zhou Zheng, has a stable income, and works from nine to five. In my last job, as an administrator at a financial institution, I earned more than my husband, but housing prices in this city are getting more and more unattainable. In this way, I reluctantly moved in with my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law is a neat freak and a control freak. Every day she directed the nanny to wash the house inside and outside. After I had a child, she was even more unambiguous, using the child’s health and safety as an excuse to remove mites or dust all day long. I brought the sleeping toy from my mother’s home, and she asked the nanny to wash it twice a day until the hair fell off. In the end, I could only watch the toys I grew up with become bald and abandoned by my mother-in-law.
“I didn’t want you to bring these toys into our house.” At the critical moment, the distinction between the host and the guest flowed lightly from the mother-in-law’s mouth. Beyond the
toys, I’ve missed out on more. At 28, I’ve been forced to face the slippery slope of life. After giving birth to a baby, I was overwhelmed, endocrine disorders, and once a little depressed. I never showed up for work. I called in sick after my maternity leave.
Occasionally, I confided in Abin, but I felt that the eight-hour life in the system had exhausted him. He was content with the life in front of him, and for the sake of my family, I “deserved” to be the one who should resign.
“Or should my son give up his iron rice bowl?” My mother-in-law is unreasonable. Being idle at home
all day, I want to use my spare time to do some sideline work so as not to be out of touch with society. Help people brush the list, do the water army, write soft text.. He even tried to sell insurance in the past, but nothing happened. In this way, the mother-in-law added insult to injury and pointed fingers.
I met sister Hui in the community hospital.
I took the baby to vaccinate, the nanny held the baby, dressed in dirty clothes, I stood by, waiting for the number to be called. Sister Hui led her three-year-old son to sit next to me, and there was a kind of acquaintance’s kindness, which made people not bored. She is in her thirties, and her skin is very well maintained. She speaks in a gentle tone. “You look a little tired. Haven’t you had a good rest?”.
“The child’s sleep is always very poor, and she still has to wake up several times a night. Recently she has been worrying about how to play with her and give her a discharge.” Perhaps because no one has cared for me for so long, I am willing to respond to the concerns of strangers.
“I can send you some books,” she says. “We’ll add a WeChat, and you can send me the address.” She deftly opens her QR Code’s business card and pulls out a few oatmeal facial masks from her bag. “I’m an agent for a sample of the product, and you can take it and apply it. Mom is just one of our many identities, so don’t forget to be good to yourself.” I only remember that I was at a loss about the operation of Huijie’s flowing clouds and running water.
Looking through Huijie’s circle of friends, I realized that she was the kind of wechat merchant I used to despise most. She was a first-level agent of a well-known mother and baby brand, and also acted as an agent for some other products. In the background of the WeChat, it was written that “the leader of a team of 4,000 people led hundreds of Baoma to achieve light entrepreneurship.”. In
addition to some inspirational quotes, such as “taking care of a baby and making money at the same time,” “This society is really demanding of women. Girls save the money they earn to fight against unknown risks,” “Life won’t treat you well because you’re a girl, so you have to be quiet and excellent,” and so on. From time to time, they will also post team performance records, chat records of guiding subordinate agents, and photos with their babies. I was stunned when I saw it. At this stage of
knowing Huijie, I admit that I didn’t have a good time. I often feed my baby and hide in bed silently to watch TV series. After watching “Kim Ji-young born in 1982”, I felt that there was my own shadow in it. I wanted to cry and was afraid to wake up my mother-in-law and children, so I had to bite the corner and cry bitterly. After adding sister Hui
that day, I just went back to my mother’s home for dinner. My father, a civil servant, is busy on weekdays, and my retired mother is the only one who cares about me. That day, my mother was busy preparing a table of dishes. When she saw me, she quickly took the child over and let me eat a few hot meals at ease. As I
ate the meal, I swallowed my worries one by one. Mother seemed to see something, but I did not want to say more, nor did I ask more questions.
“If you have time, please help me find someone to fix the phone. The buttons are not working well.” My mother asked me, almost imploringly, as I prepared to leave. Under the lamplight, her temples were particularly white, like the edges of a mobile phone with paint worn off.
My nose is a little sour, others have already changed their parents into new smartphones, and in the circle of friends are small videos recorded by parents traveling around, gathering with friends, or KTV for the elderly. Mothers have to continue to worry about their husbands, daughters and even granddaughters. Moreover, I have no independent income, and sometimes I have to rely on my mother to help me secretly. It was already nine o’clock in the evening when she returned to her husband’s home
with the children. Sitting on the chaise longue in the living room, she watched TV and said coldly, “Coming back so late with the children will affect everyone’s rest. Don’t do this next time.” I didn’t dare to talk back
either, so I could only weakly reply with a drawling “good.”.
Abin was in his room, catching up on an official document, when he casually asked me, “How are Mom and Dad?” My anger flared up. “My daughter is not doing well. Can they get better?”
The husband buried himself in typing and wanted to be an ostrich. He knew that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was tense, but he was unwilling to jump out and oppose either side. When we were
in love, we never blushed. I thought a good temper was the reassurance of a happy marriage, but I didn’t expect that he was a real “mama’s boy” and would only watch the fire from afar. I tossed and turned after I coaxed my baby to sleep
that night. The first time I met my mother-in-law, she made it clear that I would get pregnant first and then get a marriage certificate. At first, my mother-in-law was good to me. I soon got pregnant successfully, and as a “reward”, plus I had a sharp belly at that time and looked like a boy, I had a name in the book of their new house with a river view. My mother also said that this family is a kind person. Only later thought, this marriage, this is like a clearly marked price of the transaction, only I am a fan of the authorities.
Unexpectedly, I gave birth to a daughter, and my mother-in-law suffered a disastrous decline. Her husband has been single for three generations, and her father-in-law died early, and the family atmosphere has taken a turn for the worse. But after I gave birth to my first child, I fell ill and was judged by the doctor to be very difficult to have another child. If I didn’t want to maintain the dignity of some “old money” families, I think I would probably be expelled from the house by my mother-in-law. I couldn’t
sleep, so I couldn’t help getting up and wanted to talk to my husband in the study. Since the birth of the child, my husband and I have slept in separate rooms and have not lived as husband and wife for a long time.
As soon as I entered the room, I found that he had gone to take a shower. Unexpectedly, a message popped up on his mobile phone on the table, and an app reminded him that he could update.
I instinctively felt that the app was strange. Although I knew my husband’s mobile phone password, I held back my curiosity. I felt that the trust between us was strong enough.
Back in the bedroom, I still searched and found that it was a famous software for making friends, and the download was suspended because of the violation.
I vaguely remembered that Abin’s shirt in the laundry room smelled of perfume, and the condoms in the cabinet seemed to be less. At that moment, I was like a thunderbolt, and when I looked at the sleeping child beside me, I couldn’t help feeling sad. For the
next few days, I couldn’t help thinking about the divorce. But if I get divorced, I have no income, and I have passed the lactation period, I will probably lose the custody of my children. Now, to maintain my marriage, I not only have to face my cheating husband, but also have to get along with my abnormal mother-in-law day and night. Once again,
I went to Huijie’s circle of friends. The copywriting that I once sniffed at suddenly exudes a fatal attraction. I studied it word by word, and finally made up my mind that no matter what, I had to find a way to make money to support myself first.
I sent a message to Sister Hui, “Hello, I’m Bao Ma from the community hospital last time. Do you remember me?”
Sister Hui took me to a meeting for the first time. I had a try mentality, thinking that I knew my friends, and I would not buy anything they wanted to sell me.
The meeting was held in a hotel suite, surrounded by a dozen mother-like women. Just then, someone’s three-hour mobile phone alarm rang, so he took out his breast pump and began to pump milk skillfully. Mobile phones, milk storage bags, ice bags, anti-overflow pads and chargers are all necessary for them to carry with them.
Huijie encouraged us at the meeting that there is WeChat asset ranking in financial management, and that we can see tens of millions of “spare money” in other people’s financial management. “Do you know that many of these are our wechat business family members? If there is a dream, there will be a miracle!”! Of course, what you get from this career is not only money, but also respect!
Looking at the passionate sister Hui, I felt I was hit. In the
team, there are Baoma graduate students, and Baoma has worked in a big Internet factory, talking about sales data and expanding offline. Seeing how eager and hard-working they are, I don’t want to show weakness. The copywriting of the
circle of friends has been carefully considered, the pictures have been reprocessed, and I have spent money to make traffic, buy fans, find many suppliers to exchange goods and compare prices, and publish information on social platforms. I seem to have found my own value again. Every time I hear the sound of Ding Ding’s deal, I get as excited as playing chicken blood.
I want to build a group, develop customers, and develop customers into a member of my team if it goes well.
I plucked up the courage to invite my college classmate to join my team. I knew she was pregnant and was hesitating whether to stay at home full-time to take care of her baby. “You can try it with me. If you succeed, you can do it as a sideline. If you fail, you have nothing to lose.” She replied to the message hesitantly, “I haven’t been on maternity leave recently, and I’m very busy.” “I’m afraid I don’t have time to take care of my children.” “I also want to ask my family for advice.”. After a few rounds, I knew she was declining, so I didn’t insist any more.
A few days later, several of my classmates came to ask me if I wanted to do wechat business and advised me to “return to the wrong path.”. I was dealing with these inexplicable concerns when I received an anonymous letter. The
letter was brought by Abin together with the newspaper, and the addressee was me. I opened it doubtfully, but I was stunned by the printed letter.
When Abin saw that my face was not good, he quickly picked up the letter and read it, and his face turned red in an instant. The gist of
this letter is that we have mastered the evidence of Abin’s marital derailment, and we can write a report letter to the Discipline Inspection Commission at any time, hoping that I can tell him and let him take care of himself. Abin roared, “This is sheer nonsense!”! Wife, don’t believe anything.
I wanted to pretend that I didn’t know anything, but I couldn’t help being angry and had a big fight with him. Since then, we have often quarreled over trivial matters. From the beginning to the end, he disapproved of my doing wechat business, thinking that my profiting was also a kind of “trickery and plunder.”. I laughed at his stubbornness and took his salary too seriously.
But I know that the fundamental reason is that the two of us have been drifting apart since he cheated on us.
However, I still have a question. Who is the person who wrote the letter?
I thought about it, if you want to open up the business situation, mother-in-law’s little sisters can be considered, their economic situation is not bad, and do not understand the wechat business routine, besides, their distance from me is just right, mother-in-law is an invisible endorser.
Every week, my mother-in-law and her little sisters have afternoon tea time, and they usually take turns to entertain each other at home. When it was my mother-in-law’s turn, I dressed up deliberately-I kept exercising before I got married, I had a good figure, I recovered quickly after childbirth, and my skin was just as moist and white with the cheapest skin care products.
As soon as the mothers-in-law sat down in the living room, I began to “perform.”.
I just gave birth to a baby, and my skin condition is very bad. Now I’m back to normal. To see whether skin care products are safe or not, it depends on whether people dare to use them during pregnancy and breast-feeding. As I spoke, I handed each wife a mask that Huijie had given me before. The spokesperson of the mask on the package was a veteran star in Taiwan, and my aunt and mother all knew him.
“Add a WeChat, and I’ll send you a new line of skin care products later.” I also took out my cell phone as skillfully as Huijie. Aunts and mothers do not refuse this kind of “free lunch.”.
My mother-in-law was a little dissatisfied with my unexpected appearance, and she broke out on the spot. “The aunts are here to relax, not to watch you play tricks.”
“I just really think it’s good, and I have extra things in my hands, so I want to give them to my aunts.” I took my time to explain.
Some of my aunts came to my rescue. “Your daughter-in-law is also kind.” “She treats your friends as friends too!” The atmosphere will not fall to the freezing point.
After the guests left, my mother-in-law turned around and asked me, “When did you start doing this?”? Don’t be looked down upon at that time. Without waiting for my reply, she walked into the room on her own and slammed the door.
With the increasing number of visits from mother-in-law and aunt, I slowly integrated into their dialogue and gave them a lot of small gifts from micro-stores, underwear, stockings, skin cream.. I am very popular with aunts, from what Taobao shop to where the cake coffee is delicious, I provide them with young people’s way of playing, they also feel lonely, and have more topics with their children.
Slowly, when I finished writing the copy, I asked my aunts to help me promote my micro-store in the circle of friends. My aunts’ square dance group, fellow villagers’ group and classmates’ group all had advertisements for my micro-store.
Especially during the epidemic, everyone was at home brushing group messages and shopping online, and the business of my micro-store suddenly got better. I never thought that I could achieve one of the best results in Huijie’s team. At the same time, I also need to “subscribe” for more goods, and cash flow is tight. Perhaps
my career let my mother-in-law see the head, she actually offered to take private money for me in the financial rescue, I was surprised and grateful.
She also said that a woman should have her own career and her own capital, because she didn’t have these. In the past, her father-in-law never took her seriously. Later, she chatted with me for a long time, saying that her father-in-law had cheated twice, and she wanted to divorce before, but unfortunately she did not control the financial power of the family. I sympathized with her, but I also made up my mind that I couldn’t follow her old path. After a lot of hard work on the
fake divorce
, I finally earned my first pot of gold. That’s almost enough for a 30% down payment on a small downtown apartment. But I already have this suite with my mother-in-law under my name. If I want to buy a house, the down payment ratio of the second suite is 70%. My mother-in-law suggested that my husband and I could get a “fake divorce” so that I could get a property of my own in the most economical way.
I did not speak, knowing that this also meant that I would “disappear” from my husband’s house. But my mother-in-law told me privately that if there was pressure to buy a house, she could use her private money to support me.
Unexpectedly, Abin also agreed to a “fake divorce.”. He said that the two of us could go to the small house from time to time for “romance,” and offered to take out our savings to share the down payment. I thought to myself that he must be ashamed of me after cheating.
Fake divorces are only used to “cheat” banks and developers. We looked for the person that makes do false card, preparation makes a piece of divorce card that can confuse the true with the false, anyway examine and verify not strict also.
Unexpectedly, we paid all the money, and the certification den was taken away.
I looked at the number in the account, thinking about these years of depression, the heart a cross: it is better to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for divorce, fake play really do, once and for all.
The next day, while my husband was having breakfast, he said that he wanted to find another one to make a false certificate. I replied that I might as well go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to do it. “The real estate market has been very tight recently, so I don’t have to have a long dream.” He hesitated. “So we can remarry after we buy a house?” I didn’t speak, just nodded. He even said “we” hypocritically. When he was out having fun, he didn’t think about “us” at all.
During that time, the online divorce appointments of the Civil Affairs Bureau were almost full. The husband laughs and says, “I guess they’re all buying houses together. Have you ever seen that joke? In the past, divorces were all about bad relationships, but now those who dare to divorce are all about good relationships.” I didn’t want to agree. I just wanted to end the relationship quickly. Coincidentally
, just three days before we made an appointment for divorce, I saw a new policy issued by the government, and I couldn’t help seeing it: even if I divorced, my name would disappear from the existing house, and I would have to wait three years to buy a house without a house.
I can only swallow my pride and continue to live under the shelter of others.
A week later, there was an eye-catching order of sexy underwear in my micro-store. The nickname of the other party was “Jijizhiyao”, while my husband’s WeChat name was Jijizhiyao. The last four digits of the mobile phone number left by the
other party are the same as my husband’s number, and the address left is my husband’s unit. The blood all over my body rushed to my head. Looking at that young and charming head portrait, I knew in my heart that the other party seemed to know everything and wanted to have a showdown with me before deliberately provoking me. Come to think of it, she must have written that letter, too. My husband came home
that night as usual, and I thought he was too good at acting. After taking a bath, he was in high spirits and asked me if I wanted to sleep in the same room. I just felt sick, said I was not feeling well, and refused him.
I lay in bed and thought, I don’t have the real hammer of my husband’s derailment. If I divorce my husband, he and my mother-in-law will not let me take advantage of it. I earn well now, but if I can’t buy a house, I will wait another three years, and the money will only depreciate. And the most important thing is, what about the children? Do you want to give her to an irresponsible father and a grandmother who doesn’t like her? I took her alone, and I was afraid that it would be more and more difficult.
I can’t wait to die. A month after
the counterattack
, I sat in front of my mother-in-law, sipped my tea, and said, “I know that Abin has cheated on me.”
The mother-in-law’s eyes were wide open. “No way, is there a misunderstanding?” Yes
, the two of them look like each other. Dogs can’t change to eat shit. That woman shamelessly placed an order in my micro-store. I was full of grievances. “I want a divorce.”
“Calm down first. If you don’t have evidence, you can’t say that. If you go to court, you don’t have an advantage.” Mother-in-law seems to comfort, but also seems to be analysis.
I have proof. The woman has already borne him a son. I took out some photos, in which my husband was holding a boy, accompanied by a woman, and they were talking and laughing.
“You’ve got it all wrong,” said the mother-in-law, putting on her reading glasses and identifying the man in the photo. “I, Abin, must be innocent. Calm down and come back. I’ll ask him.”
When Abin came home from work, I had already gone out to meet Huijie to discuss the purchase of new goods. But the surveillance camera I secretly installed in the study recorded everything.
“Why are you so confused?”? Originally, she had a good chance of getting a fake divorce from you, and you didn’t have to give her a penny, but now it’s like this. The mother-in-law threw the photo in front of Abin.
“What good opportunity?” Abin glanced at the photo. “Mom, why are you following me?”
“Are you really cheating?!” The mother-in-law’s body went limp. She sat down on the floor, pointed at Abin’s nose and cursed: “How can you be the same as your dead father?” Unrelenting,
she said, “I had planned to let her buy a new house and get her name out of the house book. She didn’t dare to act rashly without evidence of your derailment. I had written a letter and deliberately placed an order in her micro-store to make her quarrel with you, but she didn’t get rid of it, and she had to divide the family property.”
“Mom, you misunderstand. In that photo, my wife asked me to pick up Huijie and her children for dinner. They are partners.” Abin explained, “Have you ever thought about kicking her out?”? I don’t want a divorce. I.. I’m just empty once in a while..
I saw Abin’s submissive appearance in the surveillance video. Her mother-in-law’s expression was like swallowing a fly. She smiled and tears fell down. Back when I
didn’t buy a house, I happened to chat with a downline of a development company. My mother-in-law’s friend happened to be her friend, but she didn’t know about my relationship with my mother-in-law. She mentioned my mother-in-law, “That woman is very powerful. In order to minimize losses, she drives her daughter-in-law out of the house and helps her daughter-in-law set up her own business. Do you think she is both acting and standing?”.
Now, as if nothing had happened, I am still doing my wechat business. After several rounds of market shuffling, business is sometimes good and sometimes bad, while Abin is still his civil servant, but he is much more attentive to me than before. My mother-in-law, husband
and I had such a tacit understanding that neither of us mentioned “cheating” or “divorce.”. My mother-in-law never dared to embarrass me again. The child is also growing up day by day, and I am very close, this is my only comfort.
Life, ah, how can there be so many cool articles and open hanging, just like there are not so many myths of wechat merchants getting rich overnight. I think most people’s marriage life is the same as mine. After the flies are swallowed up, they pretend to be calm and clean up the chicken feathers.
