“Emma, couples may argue, but you shouldn’t throw divorce around. It’s too hurtful to the relationship. And besides, you should think about Ava too,” My mother–in–law sald and added, gesturing to his son. “Jason, didn’t you buy Ava a gift? Hurry up and show it to Emma.”
Jason rushed to the room to get a gift box.
“Ava’s been wanting this doll for a long time, right? To get this doll for her, her grandparents even took the money they saved for medicine. Let’s go pick up our child now.”
The smell of cheap plastic immediately hit my nose. I didn’t even need to look; I could tell it was just something from a street vendor.
“Jason, you’re willing to spend 68,000 yuan on a car for Grace’s son, but when it comes to your own daughter, you get her something that costs 9.9 yuan with free shipping. You really know how to show favoritism.”
Jason’s hand, holding the gift box, tightened involuntarily.
“9.9? No! I bought it from a specialty store. Look, it even has a logo on the packaging.“I reached out for his phone.
“Give me, let me see which app you bought it from. You know they’re doing a serious crackdown now. If it’s fake, they’ll pay ten times the price.”
“It’s… it’s…” Jason stammered, refusing to hand over his phone.
At that moment, Kelly stormed out of the room.
“So what if it was 9.9 yuan? A little girl should be grateful just to have a toy, and here she is complaining. What does she want? To go to the moon?”
“Shut up.“Jason glared at Kelly fiercely, but she wasn’t afraid.
“Go ahead and divorce, then. Anyway, with Grace coming back, you two can start over… mmm.“Before she could finish, my mother–in–law covered her mouth, pushing her back into the room while awkwardly covering up.
“Emma, don’t listen to Kelly, she’s sick. She’s just talking nonsense.”
I coldly stared at Kelly. “Want to know why they don’t want Jason and me to divorce?”
She shrugged off her mom’s hand and asked, “Why?”
“Because they don’t have any money.”
I first pointed at my father–in–law and mother–in–law. “Your parents don’t earn anything”
Then at Jason. “Your brother makes just 2,500 a month.“/
