Once upon a time,I married into the Johnson family without hesitation.Three years into the marriage,my sister-in-law's naughty child kicked me in the head,stole my gold necklace.My mother-in-law was mean and difficult,and my spineless husband always told me to be patient.Until one day,I found out that my husband had been having an affair for two years behind my back...
My name is Lily Green,and I'm thirty years old.I've been married into the Johnson family for three years and four months.
I met Aaron Johnson through a blind date.I was eager to escape from my original family,which favored sons over daughters and had backward thoughts and living conditions.I married him without asking for a bride price,a house,or a car.

We just had a hasty wedding.There were a lot of guests,some I knew and some I didn't.They all said that I had married into a good family.
Aaron is the same age as me.He works in a government institution.Just having a stable job with a secure position made many people envy him.
The most important thing was that before marrying me,Aaron had never dated any woman and had never been involved in any romantic affairs.
This made me feel very secure for a while,but I never thought that this was the beginning of my nightmare...
After getting married,I,Aaron,my mother-in-law,my sister-in-law,and my sister-in-law's child,the five of us lived under the same roof.
At six o'clock in the evening,I received a text message from my husband saying that he would be working overtime.

I placed four steaming dishes and a bowl of soup on the dining table.Then I turned around and called my mother-in-law,sister-in-law,and nephew to have dinner.
Remembering that there were still dishes to be washed,I quickly went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes and put them in the cupboard.
But when I finished everything and finally returned to the dining table,I found that my chair was gone.
"Oh,sister-in-law,your chair was taken by Tom to stand on,"my sister-in-law said casually."Tom,be polite when eating.Put your feet down quickly!"

The ten-year-old boy was at a naughty age.He didn't eat properly,smacking his lips and using my chair to stand on.
"No!"
"Tom..."
"Just let her stand and eat!"
The little boy pointed the tip of his chopsticks at my face rudely!
"Mom,you said she's not part of our family,so she doesn't have the right to eat with us!"
"Tsk."
My sister-in-law just frowned at Tom's rudeness.
The summer weather was sweltering.I had just cooked four dishes and a soup,but I didn't get to eat a single warm bite.I held my rice bowl,and there wasn't even a chair for me.There were still beads of sweat on my forehead.
There were clearly five chairs in the house,and Aaron's chair was still empty,but Tom insisted on using my chair to stand on!
"Sorry,sister-in-law.Tom insisted on using your chair to stand on.I couldn't do anything about it,"my sister-in-law smiled at me.
"It's normal for children to be willful.Adults shouldn't care.Besides,my dear grandson can do whatever he wants.
It's just using your chair to stand on,isn't it?Can't you eat while standing?In our time,having a bite to eat was already good enough..."My always partial mother-in-law insinuated that I was being picky.
In the end,I sat on Aaron's chair to eat,and my chair was constantly stepped on by Tom,giving off a stinky smell...
My mother-in-law smelled it,frowned,and pointed at me:"Wash the chair cushion as soon as you finish eating!You don't go to work all day,and this is how you do the housework!Do you want me to live in a garbage dump!"
I gritted my teeth.Just like every time I was wronged in the past three years,I swallowed my anger and said,"Okay..."
