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, th
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 w
"What are you doing here?" The saleswoman asked in a cold tone.I looked at her and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? We came here to shop, did unless we come to see the monkey circus?"The saleswoman was angry but did not dare to scold the customer.According to her work ethic, she can't kick customers out of the shop.The saleswoman then gave way for us to go inside the shop, however, while we were choosing clothes, she always followed closely behind us as if she was treating us like thieves.In her mind, we don't come here to shop, because the clothes we are wearing are so cheap, she thinks we will never be able to buy anything in this shop.My first younger sister, Lily, surreptitiously pulled my hand and whispered, "Elder brother, let's go to another shop to shop, the clothes in this shop are too expensive.""It's okay, I can buy it."I purposely spoke loudly so that the saleswoman walking beside me could hear.If I took my two younger sisters to buy clothes today, I
I saw Kyle insulting my sister and immediately rushed over and said, "Apologies to my younger sister immediately!" Kyle was overbearing and said, "How dare a poor guy like you to raise your voice at me?" I shouted back: "What if I speak loudly to you? You two are a bunch of worms, even a dog." "You..." Then I turned my finger to Helen and scolded: "Fuck, I fell in love with you before because I was blind. By the way, I would like to thank you for breaking up with me. The woman is just ugly. As cruel as you are, you don't deserve me, only people who specialize in eating dung are worthy of you." Kyle angrily grabbed my collar and yelled, "How dare you scold me?" I pushed him away and said calmly: "You can't refute what I say so you want to hit me? There's a camera in this shop, if you dare to hit me, I'll call the police to arrest you. " Seeing a group of people arguing inside the shop, the store manager immediately appeared. After hearing me threaten to call the police, Helen qu
"Andrew, if you just admit defeat and learn to bark like a dog, we'll let this go!" Helen retorted sarcastically. "That's right! Now that you admit defeat, I might not need you to kneel," Kyle said, then putting his phone back in his pocket, his expression showing mockery. I sneered contemptuously and coolly clicked open the banking app on my phone, then handed it to the store manager. The store manager reluctantly took my phone, then slowly lowered their head to look at the screen. The mobile phone I used was just an ordinary one, and its corners showed signs of wear and tear. In reality, it's just an inexpensive and old cellphone, nothing more. How could someone who uses such a mobile phone have money? People must think I'm foolish to know that I don't have money, yet still dare to compare wealth with others. Suddenly! The store manager's face changed rapidly, disbelief evident in her eyes. "One, two, three... Seven, eight digits?!" the store manager murmured. "Ten million
I coldly shouted, "Get out!"Kyle bowed his head, and then he stormed off in anger, turning away without calling Helen to follow him.From childhood to adulthood, he had never felt as ashamed as he did today.Although it was just a simple apology, for him, it was a deeply humiliating matter. Helen hurriedly chased after him."Lily, Luna, let's go too!"After Kyle and Helen left, I smiled and said to Lily and Luna. Lily and Luna nodded."Dear sir and ladies, our store has a wide selection of beautiful clothing. Please feel free to browse and choose."The attitude of the store manager changed completely, she smiled warmly, trying to win our favor.The saleswoman standing beside her also smiled and bowed."We are all poor. How can we afford clothes from this store?" I sarcastically retorted.The smiles on the faces of the store manager and the saleswoman immediately froze, revealing a sense of embarrassment.The store manager cleared her throat and then forced a laugh, saying, "I... I ap
I unplugged my phone and looked. It was already past four in the afternoon.I knew Mr. Kurt Thompson, Emma's grandfather, didn't like me, but regardless, he was still my wife's grandfather, so I had to attend his birthday party.I hurried home to change into the new clothes I had just bought and then rushed to Tadich Gill restaurant.The restaurant was about half an hour away from where I was, but the city center was often congested, especially at this time when everyone was leaving work, making the roads even more crowded.As the rush hour approached, I worried about getting stuck in traffic, so I decided to take the subway.Although it wasn't yet time for people to leave work, the subway was already packed with commuters. All the seats were taken, and a few people could only stand.I stood near the entrance and just as the subway started moving, my phone rang. I took it out and saw an unfamiliar phone number on the display."Hello! Who is this?" I asked."Good day, Mr. Edwards. This
[Ding! Master, you just rescued a beautiful girl, increasing your attractiveness value by 2 points! Experience value increased by 5000 points!] As the subway train just departed, the rich son-in-law system transmitted a reminder sound. [Ding! Congratulations, Master! The rich son-in-law system has been upgraded to level 2, and you have also received a lucky red envelope!] [Master, would you like to open the lucky red envelope immediately?] "Yes!" [Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have gained twenty million dollars!] Upon hearing this, my eyes immediately lit up. "Ting ting!" Soon after, my mobile phone notified me of a text message. I clicked to open it and indeed, my bank account had been credited with an additional twenty million dollars. I never expected that simply helping someone would also earn me rewards. "Ting ting!" The mobile phone once again transmitted a notification sound for a text message. I clicked to open it and saw that it was a message from the bank. T
