Bye Bye, Fake Family!

Andy Wong grew up an orphan and wanted a family of his own. He married Zoe Teo and gave way to her parents in everything, running a small business and paying the pension contributions for his mother-in-law and father-in-law out of his own money. At the New Year's Eve dinner the mother-in-law handed red envelopes to every grandchild in the room except Andy and Zoe's daughter, and said the girl did not count because a daughter's child is not family. Andy refused to keep paying the pension money. Zoe took her mother's side, and they divorced. Zoe moved back into her mother's house and found she was treated coldly there. She understood then that her husband and her daughter had been the family, and she went back to try to repair it, starting by learning to think of herself first.
