Storytime: New money, tacky & low class. A quick meal ticket for babymama

You know the class of Chinese in Malaysia who struggle and work hard to make what little money they can as a cleaning lady/ hawker/ shop assistant so that their kids can at least get an education? 

Here's a story:

Once Upon a Time, in the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There lives lots of single mothers like this poor Auntie who works as a cleaner in a small KL evangelical church- who brings up her daughters up alone. 😢

Thanks to the church.

This Auntie's daughters grow up pretty, went to school (not college level) & now make their own money. As marketing execs, nail salon beauticians, wedding photographers etc etc. 

One day, one of these pretty daughters meets and dates a small town taukey's spoilt brand-loving son who does nothing but date pretty girls like her & wait around for his Dad to kick the bucket so that he'll inherit the family business. 

He's a filial chinese son who helps out in the family business in the meantime & spends their money. Or "his" money. Or whatever. Or sponges off their wealth. They forgive him for everything because he's the one who will look after them when they're old. They're betting on HIM, not their other children, who are more successful.

Suddenly, this pretty daughter accidentally/on purpose gets pregnant. This is a way to escape. This is her best bet at a future. This is her best career move yet. 😈 They have an expensive showy extravaganza wedding. Her dream come true wedding. 

This wedding, they have to open the guests' and relatives' angpows to pay for venue. 

She has the shotgun baby boy and the small town taukey & taukey-neo love this child to bits. She immediately pops out a few more babies between making more money as a photographer to support her new habit of buying luxury goods which she used to have to save hard for before. After all, she doesn't have to break her back like her mother did. Her In-Laws pay for her kids & her plan is working out. 😈

She's feeling really clever/ blessed/ lucky. From her starting point/ her very low level that she began with, she thinks she's made it. 😈

Applause please. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
