Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Chapter 113 “I brought all the gifts that Serenity and Zachary bought last time into my room because I was so angry about this
going Dutch issue.”
Liberty sat on a chair. Serenity went into the small kitchen , took some fruit from the refrigerator , washed them, and offered them
to Liberty while Jasmine poured a glass of warm water for her.
She took a few sips of water and decided to tell them about her family troubles. She came over today because she felt aggrieved
and frustrated, seeking her sister to confide in.
If Liberty did not find someone to talk to, she was afraid she would fall into depression. Moreover, Liberty had known Jasmine for
many years and knew that she could keep a secret. Liberty continued, “When I woke up the next day, Hank sent his family away,
which I was glad to see, but before they left, they took all the gifts that Seren and her husband gave me
“My sister in–law even took some of Sonny‘s toys. I was so angry whien I found out, but Hank said that we don‘t lack those
things, so he gave them all to his sister
“Does his sister lack those things then? His sister and her
husband are working and have a steady income. My parents–in–law are helping them to take care of their children and they too
have social insurance, so their pensions combined are more than enough for their expenses. Yet, they still want Hank to give
them an allowance. Isn‘t Hank just subsidizing his sister‘s family?
“His sister and her husband‘s income are untouched because they spend his parents‘ and Hank‘s money. If Hank didn‘t have a
family to support and was willing to spend money on his sister, no one could say anything about that. But Hank has his own
family, and we still have a mortgage to repay. How could she have the nerve to spend her brother‘s money to support her
family?!”
Liberty could not understand her husband‘s behavior. Hank knew that his parents were using his money to subsidize his sister‘s
family, yet he still transferred money to his parents every month without a hitch. On the other hand, Hank was so stingy with her.
This agonized Liberty.
She also scolded her in–laws for putting up such a good act before she married Hank. Everyone pretended to be nice for so
many years and successfully deceived her. As soon as she married Hank, got pregnant, and gave birth to Sonny, they finally
revealed their true colors.
“It‘s right for a son to support his parents, but why would be support his sister‘s family? I‘m not saying that he shouldn‘t give them
anything, but he should give
them less and save more for Sonny‘s education. He didn‘t listen to my advice and even suggested going halves as if was
spending a lot of his money.”
Liberty regretted quitting her job early and becoming a full–time housewife.
Once a woman had no source of income and had to stretch out her hand to ask a man for every cent, she would unconsciously
lower herself and lose her confidence and place in the household.

Liberty knew what it felt like.
Fortunately, Liberty could still rely on her sister to support her, so she did not have to worry about her expenses.
Jasmine was stunned and said, “Most parents like to subsidize their sons. Why do Hank‘s parents want their son to subsidize
their daughter? It could be justified if their daughter was struggling to make a living, but she‘s not poor. She has a house, a car,
and savings.”
Serenity was familiar with the characters of her brother – in–law‘s family members. She took her nephew from Jasmine‘s arms
while saying to her sister, “Liberty, you can start looking for a job now. You can leave Sonny to me. I‘ll take care of him during the
day.” “It‘s so that if you decide to get a divorce in the future, you can confidently fight for Sonny‘s custody. If you don‘t have a
source of income, how will you fight for
him?”
Jasmine was taken aback. However, when she thought about Hank‘s money–hungry family, she had a feeling that Liberty would
get divorced sooner or later.
No one could put up with such a husband and in–laws for a lifetime.
Liberty looked at her son and said, “I‘ll put up with them for another couple of months. It‘ll be the New Year soon, then Sonny can
start kindergarten. You can just help with fetching him from there in the afternoon.”
She must look for a job soon.
Even if Liberty could not land an executive role as she did before her marriage, she would still be able to get a decent job with
her capability.
