A new state woman revealed that she would like to thank her current ex-husband, who had made her think the family was too poor to find out, but now she understands his "good intentions".
In a lengthy post, Karen detailed her 16-year marriage to her ex-husband Toby, saying that her ex-husband had always made her think that during the 16-year period, the two were really poor couples and were struggling to make a living every day.
The couple, who are young men and a breadwinner, disencourage her to work, despite claims that he earns only 55000 yuan a year.
The three-year-old mother said it was not until one day, when Toby told her that he no longer loved her and asked for a divorce, that she knew he still had a property in Hunter Valley (Hunter Valley), with hundreds of thousands of yuan in bank accounts.
Karen said that when the two married, Toby only gave her a fixed family living expenses. The money was only enough for her to buy daily necessities and necessities for her family and three children. It was impossible to buy a little luxury.
She detailed how stingy Toby was when she asked to replace their shabby sofa, or when she sometimes "squandered" to buy some salmon and cashew, he showed dissatisfaction.
Often overstretched, she sometimes had to borrow money from her friends to buy cosmetics.
She wrote: "I'm good at finding bargains in secondhand and second-hand stores." I am an expert in this respect, and I can feed a family of five for $20 if necessary. "
Although she was frugal, Toby often accused her of being a black sheep.
"since then, I've felt terrible. We rarely socialize or buy new things, and that often makes me think it's my reason." Karen said, "it really made me realize that when we were struggling financially, when my sister was getting married, she was in another state, and Toby told me he couldn't afford my 200 dollars."
Karen had struggled to raise three children, but to her surprise Toby hid hundreds of thousands of dollars in a secret account.
When their eldest son was 16 and Toby asked for divorce, she finally found her husband's health account balance. Although Toby told her not to hire a lawyer because he could handle their "split fee", Karen said she hired a lawyer at the request of a friend.
At that point, she said, she found the "heavyweight bomb." Her lawyer soon found out that Toby had a secret account with $70, 000 and $ one hundred thousand transfer records.
He also revealed that Toby had a house in Hunter Valley, and that he owned part of a winery, which was not a small share.
Although her ex-husband lied to her, Karen said she was grateful to Toby, who now owns not only a "sizable fortune" but also a marriage that taught her how to be thrifty.
