Meng Qian's husband doesn't make as much money as Meng Qian, and she is the main person paying off the mortgage, but the house is still in her parents' name, which is just too excessive.
"It might be for the best not to get married after all. Even if your parents agree and you marry reluctantly, you won't be happy in the future." Meng Qian's boyfriend's mother was so bizarre, always scheming to extract money from the bride's side while being as tightfisted as can be.
She had never heard of the logic behind using marriage as an excuse to switch to a bigger house for the whole family to live together.
If you had the money, you could have bought one. If you did, and you guys made the loan payments, Meng Qian wouldn't be so infuriated.
