Chapter 203 Outburst
Returning to one's circle is the key to avoiding being marginalized by society and not getting entangled in in-law relationships all day long.
Maggie thought the decision was wise and said, "I'll be waiting for you at AL Jewelry."
"Alright," Ann felt energized when it comes to back to work. She added, "I understand now that women must have their own source of income."
Previously, Ben's mother asked Ann to resign and go back home, looking down on Ann's salary.
That was true; they didn't lack money at home, but every time Ann asked Ben for money, Ben's mother would sarcastically comment on Ann's extravagant spending.
That feeling made Ann very uncomfortable.
Even if she was reluctant to leave her child, Ann had to go out to work.
Maggie strongly agreed with this point, stating that women must be financially independent, always have a way out, and not face too much hardship.
The confidence that money can provide is essential.
Ann asked, "Maggie, when do you plan to have children?"
Maggie smiled and said, "I've always had plans, but this is something that should happen naturally, depending on luck."
"Maggie, listen to me; when it comes to having children, either have them early while you're young and more receptive to new things, even if you take a break for a year or two after pregnancy, you can return to work, or have them later when you've saved enough money and have the confidence."
These are all experiences from those who have been through it.
Maggie smiled. "Thank you, Ann, I'll remember that."
"I won't instill too many negative emotions in you. I lost control today, and I'm sorry," Ann composed herself, smiling. "After all, children are born for ourselves. Watching them grow day by day warms the heart and brings happiness, and any suffering is worth it."
Maggie laughed. "Ann, your baby is really cute. I want one right away."
Ann chuckled. "Let me tell you, I have parenting experience now, so when you have children in the future, you can ask me for help with any problems."
"Thank you."
Unknowingly, the two chatted for over an hour. Maggie had to leave, or Fiorello would worry if he came back and didn't find her at home.
Ann escorted Maggie downstairs, chatting and laughing. In the community downstairs, they saw Ben's mother with the child among other residents.
There were many children in the community, mostly being taken for walks by their grandparents, gathering to gossip.
Ann wanted to see the child, but as she approached, she heard Ben's mother blaming her on the neighbors. "Ann is very lazy, has a bad temper, spends money recklessly, doesn't care about how hard Ben works to earn money, and expects Ann to take care of the child, which she can't do. The child sleeps with me at night, and she doesn't even know what foods to avoid, causing the child stomach discomfort..."
Each criticism from Ben's mother made Ann's face darken.
The neighbors noticed Ann and subtly signaled to Ben's mother.
Ben's mother didn't catch on and continued her tirade.
Maggie watched nervously from the side, sensing an imminent confrontation.
Sure enough, the next moment, Ann snatched the child away from Ben's mother. Seeing Ann, Ben's mother, felt a bit guilty. "Ann, why are you here?"
"If I didn't come, how would I know how bad I am in your eyes?" Ann said angrily, "Since the child was born, I can't see him during the day. You show off how hard it is to take care of the child everywhere. At night, no matter how loudly the child cries, you pretend not to hear. I didn't want to argue with you, but this is unreasonable."
Ben's mother, also with a bad temper, said, "I came to take care of your child. Was I wrong? You young people don't know how to take care of children and don't listen to us elders. Being a mother-in-law nowadays is not easy. I wouldn't harm my grandson."
