My colleague Sister Chen, who earns 10,000 yuan a month and dresses brightly once a day, quietly pulls me to an empty place after a dinner party and asks me, "Do you have any money? Can you lend me 300 yuan first?" . Only then did I know that she lived on only 500 yuan a month.

The bitterness of adult life is mainly due to lack of money. Sister Chen has strong ability in our company and her salary is high. How can she be broke?

1, high salary Sister Chen, no money to pay for dinner

Sister Chen has been working in our company for 15 years. From the grass-roots employee to the current office director, she has been given a green light for salary increase and promotion all the way. Her clothes are not the same every day.

I remember when I first came to the company, Sister Chen was just an ordinary employee. The leader assigned me as an intern to her and asked her to take care of me. Sister Chen is warm, confident, generous, and willing to spend money. She invites me to dinner after work.

The standard of food is not the same every time, four dishes and one soup for two people. I was flattered and said it was a waste of so much food. Chen sister did not care about said, also 100 yuan, we are women, to be worthy of their own, hard work all day, reward yourself, supplement nutrition. We go to work to get paid so that we can live comfortably and confidently.

At that time, Sister Chen's salary was just ordinary staff level, not much more than our interns, but Sister Chen did not care about money, and she was frank. Sometimes when we go shopping together, she offers to pay for me. At work, Sister Chen is through hard work, all the way from the green light to the director of the office.

Do not know when, sister Chen more and more senior, more and more pay, but more and more stingy. She stopped eating with me and going to parties, except for her daily wardrobe, which was still polished.

Her face without makeup is sallow sallow, feel she is always listless, very tired look! At first, I thought it was because I worried too much and was tired after being a leader.

I didn't expect that my good colleagues would come back and get together. We had to go Dutch, but when we settled the bill, Sister Chen could not afford the 200 yuan meal, so she asked me to borrow 300 yuan.

2, the husband because of the 300 yuan, found the unit

I remember that Sister Chen's husband is a very rich family in the local area. It is said that his family owns 5 houses alone. At that time, millions were paid for the demolition and demolition. Under such economic conditions, how can Sister Chen run out of money?

When Sister Chen's husband found the unit, I suddenly saw the light. Our unit was holding a regular meeting that day, Sister Chen presided over. In the middle of the meeting, Sister Chen's mobile phone rang. It was inconvenient for Sister Chen to answer, so she hung up and switched to silent. Unexpectedly, Sister Chen's husband after a while, look ugly pushed the door in, the eyes as if to fight.

When Sister Chen saw her husband, she quickly got up from her seat and ran to the door, pulling him into the corridor where no one was. During work, the corridor is very quiet, I vaguely heard her husband took the bill and asked her how the 300 yuan is going on? That accusatory tone as if Sister Chen had been caught in bed.

Usually sharp mouth Chen sister, in front of her husband submissive, - dare not say anything, just from time to time to look around, looking at the occasional passing colleagues, carefully pulled her husband's arm, looking at her husband's face said: "That is a colleague dinner, specific after work I will explain to you!"

At the end of the conversation, Chen Jie was pushed against the wooden door in the middle of the meeting by her husband, making a loud noise. Seeing her husband want to be angry, sister Chen worried hands straight in front of the chest rubbing back and forth, just like a child making a mistake, begged her husband to give her face, don't make trouble in the company, everything at home.

My colleagues and I heard something, thought something was going on, tried to stop it. Just then, Sister Chen's husband gave Sister Chen a vicious push, his face was not good, and he said, "When we get home in the evening, we will see how I will deal with you!" With a flick of the arm and a long stride, he walked away without looking back!

Seeing such sister Chen, my heart can not help but tingle. I will never forget, sister Chen that lonely and wronged eyes, but her face is still accompanied by a smile, as if he did something wrong.

3. A dispute occurs on the wedding day of two relatives

Sister Chen looked at us awkwardly, arms down, clenched her fists and raised her head, and said softly, "There is a misunderstanding. It's okay. Don't worry!" I remember when Sister Chen got married, it was a big occasion. Our colleagues all envied her for finding a good husband, who was handsome and loved her very much. How is it that the status of a child's mother has fallen so far?

Later, I learned that Sister Chen's family preferred sons to daughters. She was disliked by her parents since she was a child, and her mother thought her family had no money. Forced Chen elder sister to break up, everywhere to find rich Chen elder sister blind date. Sister Chen turns over more than half of her monthly salary to her family.

Later, her father got diabetes, and the burden of the family was all on Sister Chen. Later through others introduced sister Chen to her husband, her mother afraid of the other side does not agree, said a lot of lies. Just to climb on this family, can help to improve the conditions of the home.

Just break up sister Chen, also have no choice, let her mother to operate, her mother said "do well as marry well", sister Chen in the family's persuasion, agreed to marry her husband.

Who knows, the paper can not wrap fire, two people married that day, the mother-in-law inadvertently know the Chen sister home situation, angry not, want to retire, but the wedding is about to be carried out, a lot of relatives on both sides, can only be strong smile, continue.

The wedding is carried out, but the two families have a gap, the mother-in-law said sister Chen cheated marriage, afraid of losing their face, the woman's relatives are arranged in a small corner of the seat, even predetermined wedding ceremony process also cancelled the opportunity for her parents to take the stage.

Sister Chen's parents were right and did not want to mess up their daughter's marriage, so they swallowed their pride. The mother-in-law skipped the toast link and finished the wedding ceremony quickly. When Sister Chen's father saw what had happened, he did not dare to go to her husband's house again.

After marriage, the mother-in-law in her husband is still polite, her husband left, all kinds of dislike. Sister Chen does not eat the rice, touched things will be rewashed, disinfection, as if sister Chen is a virus.

But this is still slight, the mother-in-law also secretly said sister Chen all kinds of wrong, and even said that sister Chen wasted money, style is not right, every day wear fancy. And her husband is a mother treasure man, mothering words like edict, also think sister Chen wants to cheat his family's money, sister Chen love to ignore, still outside, do not take sister Chen seriously. At first Sister Chen wanted a divorce, but her mother said no.

4, pregnant birth, is the real suffering

When Sister Chen made up her mind to get a divorce, she found out she was pregnant and the divorce was over. Throughout the pregnancy, her husband like a changed person, sister Chen as a national treasure. Send to work, pick up after work, all kinds of nutrition constantly. I even went back to my mother's home with Sister Chen for the first time. But it only lasted until the daughter was born.

When the daughter was carried out by the nurse, Sister Chen's husband's face pulled down, and he left without waiting for Sister Chen to return to the ward. Sister Chen looked at her newborn daughter with tears streaming down her face, and her mother-in-law made only a symbolic gesture, never to be seen again. Sister Chen discharged, or her parents came to handle.

Sister Chen's mother wanted to take Sister Chen home to take care of her. When her mother-in-law heard of this, she rushed over and said that it was not customary. She also humiliated their family, saying that the family was unkind and wanted others to poke her back. The two men ended up arguing and nearly fighting.

Sister Chen did not want to see her mother wronged, he held the child back home, a person to take care of the child. Because she had just given birth and had never recovered, and because she had to take care of her daughter, Sister Chen was so tired that she couldn't even stand upright. When she walked hunched over, her hands felt like cold air in her bones. And even then, she was able to grit her teeth.

Her husband, like a carefree person, often does not go home for 3 or 5 days, even if occasionally home, but also Chen sister to cook for her, sometimes also forced Chen sister to fulfill the obligations of husband and wife. Sister Chen often cries until dawn.

The daughter is one month old, according to the custom to do a full moon wine for the child, sister Chen's husband after inviting guests, took the gift money, did not go home. Once the child had a fever at night, so anxious that sister Chen panicked, call her husband's phone always do not answer, finally answered also said he was busy, let her go to the hospital, sister Chen can hear from the phone that he was in the disco kind of entertainment places to play.

Sister Chen took a taxi on the road with her baby in her arms at night. She could not wait 30 minutes for one. It also suddenly rained. Sister Chen cried all the way.

When the maternity leave ended and the child was left to work, Sister Chen had to hire a nanny herself. When she withdrew money, she found that her money had been transferred by her husband to only 3000 yuan. The husband often does not go home, a home is not drunk is to money, sister Chen slightly said he a few words, rough.

Sister Chen wanted a divorce, but her mother told her to bear it, for the sake of her daughter, and that the baby would get over it. For the sake of her daughter and face, Sister Chen endured it, her face sallow and haggard. In order not to let others see, she always use makeup to hide.

Sister Chen not only has to buy milk powder for her baby, but also has to pay for a nanny, plus some daily living expenses. The maximum amount for her is 500 yuan. This poor 500 yuan, her husband will still miss. As long as Sister Chen doesn't give him money, he will do it.
