The Frustration of Susan

Martin Mortonrray found a café nearby and requested a private room, regardless of what Susie Mortonrray wanted to do, he always spoiled her and never doubted her, no matter if it made sense or not.

Martin Mortonrray sat down and suddenly felt his vision go black. He discreetly took out a bottle of medicine and swallowed five pills. Susie Mortonrray furrowed her brows and asked what was wrong with her uncle.

He concealed it well, but she still noticed. Mitch Dubin said, "Your uncle's health isn't good. Susie Mortonrray, let's handle the matter at hand first, we can talk about it later."

Susie Mortonrray could only say, "Hello Auntie, my name is Susie Mortonrray."

Susan felt something was off. The older one was taking medicine while the younger one was chatting with her? She asked, "Hello Susie Mortonrray... what business do you have with Auntie?"

Susie Mortonrray's expression turned serious, "Auntie, I'm here to help you ward off bad luck."

Mitch Dubin covered her mouth and said, "Did you slip up? You're supposed to say you're here to get rid of mildew."

Susie Mortonrray held her breath and corrected herself, "I'm here to help Auntie get rid of mildew!"

Susan thought, "What? Are fortune tellers this ridiculous now? She's only a few years old and already working." She looked over at Martin Mortonrray and thought he didn't seem like someone who would buy into this.

Susan said, "That's not necessary, I'm fine..."

Susie Mortonrray asked her directly, "Auntie Xin, have you been feeling tired recently and find it hard to do anything?"

Susan hesitated and said, "Yes..."

Living in the city, who doesn't feel this way?

Susie Mortonrray asked again, "Do you wake up suddenly in the middle of the night feeling cold?"

Susan stayed silent.

Susie Mortonrray said, “My eyes go blank, my mind is buzzing, nothing goes smoothly, not even my bowel movements.”

“My face is dark, my dark circles have worsened, and I have no appetite.”

“My back feels heavy, like I'm carrying a big ghost on my back.”

Susan remained silent, "..."

Let's not talk about the rest.

At night, I often wake up feeling cold and have difficulty with bowel movements... how did Susie Mortonrray know about this secret matter?

Could it be... not a scam?

Susan hesitated and said, "Well... it's already April, and it's ten or twenty degrees at night. I shouldn't be waking up feeling cold, but I always do. I even changed to a cotton quilt, but it's still the same."

She even turned on the air conditioner.

Her husband even said that she was sick. It was so hot outside, yet she still covered herself with a cotton quilt and turned on the air conditioner.

Then he made her go to the study to sleep.

Susie Mortonrray, "Huh? Why did he make you sleep in the study?"

Susan said, "I'm typing at night anyway, so I'm just in the study."

Mitch Dubin replied, "Tsk tsk."

Susan seemed to have opened up and complained, "Although our house is not small, there are only three bedrooms. My mother-in-law occupies one room, my husband, child, and I occupy another, and the third room is my study."

Susie Mortonrray asked, "So you sleep in your study?"

Mitch Dubin said, "If your husband asks you to sleep in the study, do you really go?"

Susie Mortonrray asked, "If your husband asks you to sleep in the study, do you really go?"

Susan looked helpless and said, "Oh, forget it, I don't want to talk about it. The child sleeps with us anyway, and if I turn on the heater, the child will also feel hot."

Susie Mortonrray and Mitch Dubin remained silent, "..."

Because of this matter, she decided to buy a bigger house.

She had been writing books for several years, and while she didn't make a lot of money, she was able to save a few million yuan after deducting her expenses.

In Han City, a small prefecture-level city, more than one million yuan was enough to buy a large house.

"I'm speechless, you know? When we were buying a house, my husband took this person to see it today and that person to see it tomorrow. They were all his relatives, and each had their own opinions about what was good and what was not. Their opinions were more important than mine, even though I was the one paying for it!"

"We just went to see it again, and a bunch of people were there talking. I feel so unnecessary, I'm just the one paying for it."

She had just set her sights on a two-hundred-square-meter apartment with a total price of two million yuan. She didn't think it was too expensive, and a larger one would be better so she could have a study, and each of her two children could have their own room when they grew up. There would also be an extra guest room, making it more comfortable when visitors came to her home.

But when her husband's second aunt heard about it, she thought it was too expensive! She said, "Why buy such a big one? A one-hundred-and-forty-square-meter one is enough, and there are also four-bedroom apartments available. Each of the two children can have their own room, her mother-in-law can have one, and she and her husband can share one. What do you need a study for? You can work with just a table anywhere."

And as for school districts, don't pursue them, they're all just a real estate hype! Didn't her granddaughter go to school in the town? There's no such thing as a school district, those who study well can study well anywhere!

Then she suggested that she should buy in another small comMortonnity, one that had resettlement houses, which were very cheap.

Susan was furious, "I definitely need a study, I'm a full-time writer, and I really need a quiet environment. But then his second aunt said I was being pretentious!"

"And as for the resettlement houses, there are construction sites all around, and my mother-in-law actually listened to her and went to see them. I was so angry that I came back."

Susu wrinkled her nose and asked, "So they haven't come back yet?"

Susan slumped on the table, looking completely dejected, "They went to see it themselves."

"It's all about what they want, they don't even consider me. I'm wondering if I'm the one buying the house? I'm really speechless."

"On the first day, it was actually just my husband and me who went to see it. The second day, my husband insisted on bringing his mother along, and then she started taking her relatives to see it."

Recently, his cousin came over and she was very picky, saying this wasn't good and that wasn't good. Do you know what she said? She said that since we bought a house, I should save money and not buy skincare or makeup products because they're useless.

She said, "You can't expect skincare products to make you beautiful when you already look like this." Mitch Dubin was speechless.

"If you're not happy, just tell her!" he said. "If you don't like it, just say so!"

Susie Mortonrray translated and conveyed the message, "If you're not happy, just tell her! If you don't like it, just say so!"

Susan said, "Forget it, I don't want to say anything."

Susie Mortonrray and Mitch Dubin were both silent.

Even Martin Mortonrray couldn't stand it anymore.

"Besides," Susan continued, "It's like I'm not allowed to spend my own money. She told me not to buy anything besides the house. It's so strange."

Susie Mortonrray said, "Then why don't you talk to your husband about it?"

Susan complained, "My husband is very chauvinistic. When we went back to his hometown during Chinese New Year, everyone thought he earned the money. He makes a six-figure salary, but he doesn't explain anything. He always has to be in charge, and if I don't agree with him, he gets upset."

"During Chinese New Year, we had a fight over something trivial. I got angry and said I was going back to the city. He actually let me leave. I walked back to the city alone from the village for two hours. It was already past eleven o'clock at night, and there were no cars on the road. By the time I got back to the city, it was already one or two in the morning..."

Susie Mortonrray understood. It was probably at that moment when the ghost started to haunt her...
