After a hard day looking for work, I returned home tired. Today I can't find a job.
Emma stood in front of the door waiting for me, and as soon as she saw me, she immediately said: "Andrew, have you been able to find a job yet?"
I shook my head cautiously, Emma saw that and shouted: "What? Can't you find a job? You're useless! If you can't find a job, wait until you starve to death, I will no longer provide you with living expenses!"
I stammered, "I'll try to find a job again."
Emma immediately laughed at me, she said, "You won't get a job, because you're a failed man."
I angrily lowered my head and did not dare to look at Emma, she and I have been married for almost a year, and she scolds me badly every day because I am just a man-in-law.
Because I am a man-in-law, I have to accept my wife's and family's insults without being able to resist. I couldn't stand this humiliating situation any longer.
"What? Can't you get a job?" A slightly older woman came up to me and yelled at me.
Seeing her, I immediately expressed fear, she is my mother-in-law, and she has heard everything I told Emma.
"Andrew, I warn you, my family doesn't support unemployed people. Before, your family owed my family a large amount of money, if you don't find a job quickly to repay the debt, I will break your leg." Mrs. Brebeca said.
Before my family was in trouble because my father's company went bankrupt, so I had to marry Emma to pay my father's debt and so that my brothers could go to school.
Since then I had to work as a son-in-law for Emma's family to pay off the debt and was always bullied by her family.
I can't run away to not pay this debt, because Mrs. Brebeca forced me to sign a loan agreement, I have to pay ten thousand dollars within two years, or she will report to the police for confiscation of the last property of my family.
Now that I've been married to Emma for almost a year but still haven't found a job, Mrs. Brebeca is sure to take over my house.
At the same time, this marriage did not last long until Emma's grandfather left a will, and I would be free.
After learning that I couldn't find a job, Mrs. Brebeca and Emma not only did not comfort me but also insulted me which made me feel very angry.
Mrs. Brebeca continued: "If you are already worthless, then don't let your two sisters go to school anymore, sell them to a rich old man and pay the money back for me."
I immediately raised my head to look at her with wide eyes, my hand cupped into a fist.
"You can scold me, but you must not insult my family." I couldn't stand it, so I yelled at my mother-in-law.
"How dare a poor guy like you to raise your voice at me? If it weren't for my family's help, your father would have gone to jail, your two sisters would have been prostitutes." Mrs. Brebeca scolded badly.
In anger, she scolded again: "You are ungrateful, get out of my house immediately."
"I will leave now.!" Angry, I turned around and walked out the door.
Mrs. Brebeca said: "Get out of here, get as far away as possible, and never come back here again."
I left without looking back, Emma quickly said: "Mom, what if he doesn't come back? If he can't see him, Grandpa won't leave an inheritance."
Mrs. Brebeca said confidently, "Don't worry, he signed a loan agreement with us, if he runs away, we will call the police to arrest him, your grandfather's legacy is certain. will be yours."
Emma hesitated for a moment, then said, "What you just said is a bit too much, you shouldn't ask him to sell his sisters."
Mrs. Brebeca frowned and asked: "Do you feel sorry for him? Are you in love with him?"
Emma immediately countered: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I love a useless person like Andrew?"
"That's OK, you're the daughter I love the most, you have to marry a rich and talented man, not a dud like Andrew."
Emma nodded.
...
I ran as fast as I could on the street, then sat down on a bench on the sidewalk.
I feel stupid for not being able to protect my family members.
Looking at people walking on the street, I feel very jealous, people are happy and I am sad.
[Ting! Congratulations to Master, you have successfully signed with the rich son-in-law system. From now on I will help you achieve all his wishes.]
I looked around and saw no one. So whose voice was just now?
Immediately, I thought I was hallucinating.
[Ting! Congratulations Master, you have obtained a new player gift.]
That strange voice resounded, it turned out that I wasn't hallucinating just now.
I immediately remembered the episode in the anime I'd seen, did I already have the almighty system?
"What is the rich son-in-law system?" I asked quietly.
[I am an artificial super-intelligence, I will help you become rich and powerful.]
"What are you going to do to make me rich? Huh, I'm in debt a lot, can you help me pay it off?" I said.
I think there is no such supernatural thing in this world, this is a scam.
Thinking that, I said, "You quickly turn out a thousand dollars for me."
[Ting! Congratulations master, ten thousand dollars have entered your bank account.]
"Am I given ten thousand dollars? I don't believe it." I asked suspiciously.
Ting ting...
My phone suddenly rang a message notification bell, I hurriedly opened the phone and read the message.
[Bank account 0347xxxxx just received 10000 dollars into the account, the balance is 10100 dollars, please check.]
I was bewildered and said, "Did the money go to the bank account?"
I rubbed my eyes a few times and then looked at my phone screen.
"It's ten thousand dollars, that freaky thing didn't fool me." I shouted in joy.
Then I pat myself on the thigh.
"If I knew it was true before, I should have asked for a hundred thousand dollars."
Even so, getting ten thousand dollars for free makes me so happy, I jump in the middle of the street, and everyone looks at me strangely.
[These ten thousand dollars are a gift for new players, if you want to earn more money, you must complete the assigned task.]
I asked excitedly, "If I complete the quest, will I be rewarded with more money?"
[Not only that, when you scold others will also be rewarded, helping good people will be rewarded, punishing bad people will be rewarded, and each reward is a large sum of money. In short, I will help you become the richest son-in-law in the world.]
I feel the system's task is very simple, it is quite suitable for less intelligent people like me.
[Also, as your level increases, the rewards you receive become more valuable.]
Then in my head appeared a virtual screen, inside the virtual screen appeared the following criteria:
- Master: Andrew
- Level: 0
- Experience: 0
- Skill: 0
- Assets: 10100 dollars
- Beauty value: 60
- Charm value: 40
I looked at the indicators inside the virtual screen and immediately exclaimed: "Damn it, why is my beauty value so low? I'm not so ugly."
After scolding the beauty discrimination system, I looked again at the message that the money was in the bank account, with this money, my mother can be cured, and my sisters can continue to study.
[Ting, the first mission, scolds mother-in-law.]
The voice of the system rang in my head again.
"Scolding my mother-in-law? What an odd mission!" I think.
[Master, do you want to accept this quest or not? If you complete this quest, you will receive a large gift, if you refuse, you will continue to be a dud son-in-law.]
I hesitated for a moment and then agreed to accept the quest.
I could no longer stand the harshness of Mrs. Brebeca.
Since I became her son-in-law, she always insults me, even forcing me to do housework as a maid.
At that time, however, I could do nothing but obey her.
Now that I have a chance to take revenge on her, I'm determined to complete the mission.
When I got home, Mrs. Brebeca was watching TV.
Seeing me, she immediately sarcastically: "Oh my god! I thought you wouldn't come back, I didn't expect you to come home so quickly."
She continued to scold me, "I know you're useless, I'm sure you don't dare leave."
I frowned and said, "You can't call me useless anymore."
Mrs. Brebeca scolded even more, "I still call you useless. You live in my house for free and lack of money my family won't pay, what if I scold you a few times?"
I immediately yelled at her, "Mrs. Brebeca, I can't stand your harshness any longer. I have never lived in your house for free, nor have I owed your money unpaid. During the day I look for a job, at night I do housework for your family. As for the money I owe, I pay it every month. How about you? Every day you do nothing, just like to order me, you also refuse to do housework. I feel you're the most useless person in this family."
Mrs. Brebeca got very angry when I scolded her, she tremblingly pointed her finger at my face and shouted: "Andrew, how dare you scold me? You are so good!"
I laughed at her and said, "Well, even if you are the queen, I will still scold you. I tell you, in the future, I will not obey your orders anymore, you are not allowed to insult me anymore."
Mrs. Brebeca was so angry that her blood levels increased, she shouted: "You... you... you... you need to kneel and apologize to me immediately, or I will punish you."
I laughed out loud and replied, "When you die, I'll kneel before your grave, okay?"
Mrs. Brebeca was so irritated by me that she almost fainted. At this point, Emma came out, she looked at me with an annoyed look and asked, "What are you two arguing about?"
Mrs. Brebeca immediately denounced me to her, "Emma, Andrew dares to scold me, he even cursed me to die early, you should re-educate your husband."
Emma frowned, looked at me, and commanded: "Go and apologize to my mother."
For her, I was always the one to blame, so no matter the story, she trusted her mother but not me.
I looked at Emma with cold eyes and said, "Emma, you're not allowed to give me orders!"
Emma asked in surprise, "How dare you speak to me with this attitude?"
I replied, "Whatever attitude you use to talk to me, I will do the same to you."
Mrs. Brebeca rushed to insult me: "Are you see? He wants to betray!"
I laughed at her and replied, "I'm not your dog, so I don't need to be loyal to you. I think you should brush your teeth often to make your mouth smell better."
Emma shouted: "Enough! If you still don't respect my mother I will divorce you."
Now, I was no longer afraid, so I said, "Emma, you never trusted me, when your mother scolded me, you just stood to look. Anyway, we've been married for almost a year, don't you have any feelings for me?"
Seeing that Emma still wanted to question me, I sighed and continued: "Don't forget, it was you who asked me to be your husband, I didn't beg you to marry me."
Emma was so angry that her whole body was shaking, she yelled: "Andrew, I must divorce you, you immediately get out of my house!"
Hearing my wife kick me out decisively, my heart suddenly ached, but I remained indifferent and replied, "I'm not signing the divorce papers."
Emma gasped.
"You... you... get out!"
I shrugged and turned to leave.
Emma angrily threw the glass at me, but I quickly dodged it.
Wait for me to go, Emma said indignantly: "Mom, I must divorce him today."
Mrs. Brebeca also wanted to send me away, but she was still very conscious, then she advised Emma: "For the time being, you still must not divorce him, otherwise your grandfather will not divide the property with you. Where?"
Emma took a deep breath, then said, "I almost forgot about this. Well, wait until he's out of use. I'll kick him out of my house."
After leaving Emma's house, I went to my little room next to hers.
As soon as I entered the house, the system's notification sound sounded:
Master leveled up after confronting his mother-in-law.]
[Master, you want to open the red envelope right now?]
I nodded and replied, "Open it."
[Ting! Congratulations Master for reaching ten million dollars of working capital, you are free to use this money.]
Ten million dollars in working capital? When I heard that, I was very happy.
For me, this is a considerable amount.
Right after that, my phone rang a notification bell. It was a message to add money to my bank account.
[Do you want to open the secret gift?]
"Open it!"
[Ting, Congratulations Master on receiving a porcelain antique. The delivery of this item to your place will happen shortly.]
I don't understand why the system gives me an antique. I think it's better to give me a large amount of money.
[Please remind! I remind you that we should take the money I give you from investment sources such as stocks, mutual funds, lottery tickets, etc. So it's legal money, you can safely use it.]
After listening to the system's explanation, I understood. After that, I was so happy and I couldn't sleep.
I didn't sleep until three o'clock in the morning. When I woke up, it was already noon.
I went into Emma's house but didn't see her and her mother.
I don't care about them, now I want to go back home to visit my parents and two younger sisters.
I drove to a remote village eighty kilometers away from the city.
After arriving, I got off the bus and walked inside an old residential area, then I found my home inside this residential area.
This place is horrible, and there are no street lights around, in the past because it was cheap, my family rented it to stay in.
I opened the door to enter the house. There was only a rather old TV, a small folding table, and a rotting bed.
At the moment, my mother is giving medicine to my father, and my two younger sisters are studying beside me.
After seeing me, they ran to hug me, and my parents turned to look at me and laughed.
My mother is very beautiful, although she is almost forty years old, with light makeup, she will be more beautiful than a celebrity.
My two younger sisters are also adorable. The first is eighteen years old, the other is fifteen, and both are extremely beautiful.
"Mom, we won't be staying here anymore. I'm here to take our whole family to a new place," I say.
"Why move when our current place is so good?" My mother, Mrs. Anna, asked, surprised."
I shook my head and replied, "The living conditions here are so bad. My father can't live here, otherwise, his illness will get worse."
Anna sighed and said: "I know that, but your father needs chemotherapy. We live here and will save a lot of money."
I said, "It's okay, I've already chosen a new home for the whole family. It's a small mansion across from Emma's."
Anna asked in surprise, "Why do you have so much money?"
I replied calmly, "Emma lent me money."
I couldn't tell her that the system gave me that money.
Even if I tell the truth, Anna will not believe it, even though she will think I am deceiving her.
Mrs. Anna had tears in her eyes and said: "I know that Emma's family members have been bullying you many times."
I kindly comforted her and said, "I'm not upset. Well, let's quickly pack up and move to a new house."
Anna still refused. She advised me: "Give back the house and give Emma back the money. I don't want you to owe her."
I could only make up the story: "I just got a raise and a promotion, I'll pay her back later."
Despite her doubts, Mrs. Anna nodded and said nothing more.
Then I and my two younger sisters packed up the house and got in the car for me to drive to the new house.
My new house and Emma's house are opposite each other and only one street apart.
After moving into my new house, I took out my phone to order food.
After eating, I took my two younger sisters to the SM shopping mall to buy some new clothes.
SM Mall is the city's upscale mall, which is only for the rich.
The rich here are those who can spend one hundred thousand dollars. As long as you have money, you are good.
I took my two younger sisters to a high-end jewelry shop called CH.
As soon as we walked in, everyone in the store stared at us.
The people who can enter this shop and shop are all rich and powerful. Now that I have a lot of money, I have to buy the best clothes and jewelry for my younger sisters.
Not long after, an employee from the shop came in. She was wearing a tight black suit and heavy makeup. After looking at the clothes on me and my two younger sisters, she immediately frowned.
