Trang and I are classmates in the same university, following a long time of contact, we developed feelings for each other. After graduating, we all stayed in the city to work. Because I graduated with a good degree and had work experience, I was fortunate to apply for a job in a foreign company with a starting salary of 15 million.
The page is different, forever unable to find a job as desired. Some time later, her parents gave her some money to open a clothing store. The business is quite good, so there is copper in and out.
Three years later, when our careers were both stable, I proposed to Trang and received her nod. Because my salary at that time increased to 25 million per month, my wife’s business was also good, so we had a well-off and full life that many people dreamed of.
More than a year later, Trang gave birth to her first daughter, our family was even happier. Taking care of children and doing business is very hard, so my wife told me to quit my job, stay at home to take care of the children and do business with her. Men and boys stay at home to take care of their children, clinging to their wives’ skirts, how will outsiders look at me? So I decided to go to work, not listening to my wife.
A short time later, because of the epidemic, my company began to lay off employees, unfortunately including me. Because I don’t want to work forever, I started planning to set up my own company and borrowed 3 billion from my wife to support my work. Unexpectedly, she flatly refused.
– I don’t have money. Last time my brother built a house, I lent him a loan. I still have a small amount, a few days ago I also went to pick up the goods, now I don’t have much money left in my body. But I told you, is it better to take care of the children for me and then the husband and wife trade and do business?
Hearing my wife say that, I gave up, but I still maintain my opinion, not staying at home to take care of children, selling goods with my wife. Since I didn’t have much money, I looked for another job. Then through the help of my first love, I also got a new job, the remuneration here is very good. But when Trang learned regarding this, she raised her voice at me and asked me to resign. People’s wives support their husbands wholeheartedly, but my wife is like that, she doesn’t know how to sympathize and understand her husband, but she’s bored. Because of this, my husband and I often quarrel.
Yesterday while cleaning the house, I accidentally found a hidden passbook in the closet. On it, my wife’s name and the deposit amount of 3 billion made me surprised.
When I discovered that my wife had money to hide, I took my savings book and asked her directly. (Illustration)
– Is this your passbook?
– That’s right, don’t you see my name on it? Do you have any problem?
– Why did you have so much money without telling me? Why did you say no last time I asked to borrow money to set up a company?
Yes, I lied to you. I don’t want to lend you money, I don’t want you to start a company. What if I keep that money to protect myself? That’s all my hard-earned savings, give it all to me and tomorrow, if you do business at a loss, or earn money but don’t pay it back, or give it away to another woman, isn’t it? am i lost? Trusting others is not the same as believing in yourself.
But I ask myself how many dongs have I given you in the past 3 years? My salary is 25 million, but every month I give my parents 5 million, give me 10 million to spend. Do you think with that little money, you and your wife can buy this house?
What my wife said made me very uncomfortable, confused. We are husband and wife, but she is wary of me, in her words, there is a sense of ridicule and contempt for me. It is true that I earn less than my real wife, but is it wrong that I don’t want to work with my wife, want to have my own career?
