It was a little past eleven o'clock at night,and my husband,who came home late,finally pushed open the bedroom door.
"Are you back?"I turned on the light.
Seeing me with my hair disheveled in bed,Aaron was surprised and a bit disgusted:"Why haven't you gone to bed yet?Are you acting out a horror movie in the middle of the night?"
"I want to sleep..."
Shortly after finishing dinner,Tom started monopolizing the only TV in the house to watch cartoons.I wasn't interested in the fighting and killing in the cartoons.
I washed the dishes and clothes until a little past nine.Then my sister-in-law began to urge Tom to go to bed.
But who knew that Tom was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood tonight.Not only was he imitating the actions of the characters in the cartoon,rolling and jumping around,but he was also shouting at the top of his lungs.
My sister-in-law and mother-in-law indulged Tom to no end.It was only just now that Tom was finally tired and went back to his room to sleep.
The neighbors had complained several times about Tom's noisy behavior at night.Every time,it was me who went to apologize.
I couldn't help but complain in a low voice:"Honey,can't my sister-in-law move out?"
My sister-in-law and Aaron are fraternal twins.They look alike,but their personalities are completely different.Aaron was honest and diligent,studying hard and getting a government job.
My sister-in-law was rebellious since she was a child,frequenting places like nightclubs.At the age of nineteen,she got pregnant by someone she didn't know and insisted on giving birth.Since then,she has been living with Aaron and my mother-in-law.
Aaron frowned tightly:"They don't have the ability to make a living on their own.How can they move out?"
I reminded him euphemistically:"My sister-in-law is young and healthy.She could actually find a job..."
"No way!"Aaron refused firmly:"My sister has caused trouble since she was a child,and it was always my father who solved it.My father passed away a few years ago,and now it's my turn.My sister is the most beloved treasure in the family.How can I let her go out to work and suffer?"
"I know..."
"I really don't know what's going on in your head all day!I think you're just too idle at home!"
Aaron took off his coat and went to the bathroom to take a shower.I folded his clothes.My vision gradually blurred,and tears of grievance welled up in my eyes.
In fact,I really wanted to ask,if my sister-in-law is the most beloved treasure in the family,then what about me?
My sister-in-law doesn't need to work to earn money or do housework submissively at home.She doesn't have to do anything,and she still gives me a hard time every day.So what am I in this family?
But I never asked these questions.The reason was that I didn't dare.I was afraid...
I was afraid to get a divorce,afraid of being abandoned by Aaron,and afraid of going back to that ignorant countryside...
I finally escaped from there.Even though I had to face the naughty child,the cold sister-in-law,and the partial mother-in-law every day,I had to swallow my anger!
After folding Aaron's clothes,thinking of my mother-in-law's instructions during the day,I turned around and took out a lace suspender dress from the closet.
Aaron came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.I turned off the bedroom light.He groped in the dark and said angrily:"Who told you to turn off the light!Damn it..."
I turned on the pink ambient light I bought online.
Under the ambiguous light,I was wearing black lace lingerie,with my hair flowing down,and my chest outlined by the suspenders in a sexy curve.
"What are you doing?You look so ugly!"Aaron frowned and looked at me.
Under this kind of disdainful,even slightly contemptuous gaze,I suddenly felt like a rotten fish,yet still trying to flirt and make a man interested.
