00:00You think money grows on trees?
00:01I work my ass off in that stinky sweatshop all day long,
00:04and you get to stay home, do whatever you want.
00:06Do whatever I want.
00:07Sit around all day writing your stupid notebook.
00:10Those stupid notebooks are the only reason this family isn't living on the street.
00:14Hey, you want to trade places with me?
00:19I asked my husband for $4 to buy milk for the children,
00:22but he couldn't spare it, with no other choice.
00:25I begged the milkman to let me run a tab.
00:27Thankfully, he agreed after my pleas.
00:30Carrying the milk back inside, I was suddenly berated by my husband.
00:34He said I'd stay home all day doing whatever I please,
00:38writing those silly notes day after day.
00:40As my husband tugged at me, I lost my balance and fell heavily to the floor.
00:45The milk I'd begged for on credit shattered.
00:47The children came running out, blaming their father.
00:50My husband was so frightened he wanted to cry.
00:53I told him to help me up, but he couldn't manage it.
00:56I got up by myself.
00:58I was unusually calm.
01:00I felt no sorrow for my own injuries.
01:02My sorrow was for the children losing a week's worth of milk.
01:06My helpless husband wept like a child.
01:09I called the neighbor's wife to accompany me to the hospital,
01:12for there was no one reliable at home.
01:14Returning home that evening, I did not scold my husband.
01:17I still face my family with a smile.
01:19The living expenses for our family of 12 were sustained solely by my daily writing of advertising copy,
01:25submitting entries, and winning prizes.
01:27Even the home we live in now was bought with prize money.
01:31My husband spent every penny of his own salary.
01:34What's even more tragic is that when we bought the house, only my husband's name could be on the deed.
01:39My heart ached, yet I felt powerless.
01:43Because of this, our family nearly ended up homeless.
01:46One day, my daughter and I returned home to find my husband had furnished the house with new furniture.
01:51I wondered where he got the money, but said nothing.
01:54The next day, I received a call from the bank.
01:57They said our mortgage was due.
01:59Mr. Murphy, we've never taken out a second mortgage.
02:02Yes, Mr. Ryan came down here three years ago and signed the papers.
02:06It turned out my husband had secretly mortgaged the house.
02:09Hearing this news, I felt heartbroken and helpless.
