They agree not to have children for 3 years. But he decides he wants another child and so without her knowledge he avoids the contraceptive measures they'd been using and gets her pregnant.
His marriage views are actually really traditional. I get he was hurt before, but he wants to use the baby to make her forget about a career or further education. He thought with the baby she would be unable to go and study.
At first you blame the ex wife. But her leaving is now very understandable. He was never there, all his money went to his mother, and he just expected her to be a small house wife. I'm glad she could stand up for her dreams and leave. I wish the MC had held out another 2 years waiting for the college examinations rather than getting married so quickly.
[collapse]He looks after her on the surface, but he will be a filial son and wrong her to maintain family peace until it's at breaking point.The second sister in law Zheng and her husband are painted as inferior to the main couple, but they discuss a lot with each other. The sister in law actually tries to correct her selfish nature, but her only friend is purposefully filing her up and saying bad things about the MC.The MC is selfish. And that's fine. She makes it clear that as a 21st century person she is always looking after herself best. The author made it clear that the difference between the sisters in law is that the MC knows how to speak and play to get what she wants, while the second sister in law is too straight forward for that. I liked this! But later the author just decided to make the second sister in law cannon fodder.The MC's cheap mother is great. I love her. The MC's mother in law is also great. She makes it very clear to her son's that they are n9t allowed to hit women and I respect this.
