Chapter 640: To Be Fair or To Be Privileged

At dinnertime.

The family was eating dinner when suddenly there was a very noisy sound outside.

Sheng Jiang likes to watch the excitement, so he went out before he had even finished his meal.

It took him a long time to return.

"Tsk tsk, strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many. Can you guess what happened outside?"

The family didn't speak, just looked at him.

There was no need to ask at all; he would say it immediately.

Sheng Jiang cannot keep a secret; everyone in the family knows this.

"In the high-rise building in front, a woman took a kitchen knife and hacked her husband. It was actually because of the trivial matter of who would wash the dishes at noon. I don't know what's wrong with women these days, one by one they act like they want to ascend to heaven..."

Halfway through his sentence, he realized something was wrong; he had offended everyone.

Sheng Jiang immediately explained: "I mean the women outside, not counting you all. The women in our family are all good." His survival instinct was very strong.

Ever since the "Chicken Lays Eggs" incident, Sheng Jiang's personality has become much more cheerful, and he has become much more confident and composed.

He also speaks more pleasantly.

Wang Yinghao asked: "Did you hear wrong? How could someone draw a knife over such a small matter as washing dishes? That's too absurd."

Shi Youxuan also nodded in agreement.

She also felt it was absurd.

Seeing that his family didn't believe him, Sheng Jiang told them to go out and see for themselves, so the family went outside to watch the excitement and gossip.

Sheng Hanyu never gets involved in things like gossip.

The children were curious, but the adults wouldn't let them get involved.

So Sheng Hanyu went to the Study to read, Shi Ran and Qi Heng took Sheng Zichen to do homework, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, along with Sheng Jiang, went out to watch the excitement.

It was very lively outside.

Almost everyone in the residential complex had come out!

People were gathered in groups of three or five, pointing at the high-rise building not far ahead.

There was a household on a middle floor.

A woman was sitting on the outdoor air conditioning unit next to the balcony.

It looked like she was attempting suicide, but unlike the average woman attempting suicide, this woman had a Rope tied around her waist, with the other end of the Rope tied to the fixing screw of the air conditioning unit.

The Rope was tied very cleverly; if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it at all.

"I don't want to live anymore."

"This life is impossible to go on with!"

"You must kowtow and apologize to me, otherwise I will end it all."

Shi Youxuan:...

This is supposed to be suicide?

This is a low-end version of "crying, making a scene, and threatening to hang oneself."

A man at the window looked nervous and kept saying something.

His voice was low and the distance was far, so the people watching the excitement couldn't hear clearly, but from the man's expression, one could tell he was pleading.

The man looked honest and dutiful, while the woman looked full of arrogance.

"Are you going to kneel or not?"

The man nodded.

His figure quickly disappeared from the window, and before long he ran out of the building and "thumped" to his knees.

He shouted loudly toward the floor above: "Wife, I was wrong. Don't commit suicide. I won't divorce you. I'll listen to everything you say. If you say go east, I won't go west. If you beat the dog, I won't scold the chicken. You are all right and I am all wrong..."

It wasn't that there was no resentment in the man's words.

But the woman sitting on the air conditioner "committing suicide" was clearly satisfied.

The woman shouted triumphantly: "Just saying it isn't enough, you have to write a Guarantee Letter for me."

The man: "I'll write it, I'll write it, I'll write it."

The woman prepared to go up, but perhaps because her feet were numb from sitting outside for so long, she didn't stand steadily when she stood up, lost her balance, and fell from the outdoor air conditioning unit— "Wow!"

"Ah!"

There were cries all around.

Those who were timid simply covered their eyes with both hands.

But the thrilling situation did not occur; the woman was hung in mid-air by the Rope, swinging back and forth.

"Hahahaha..."

A burst of laughter erupted all around.

"You, you actually lied to me?"

The man discovered the secret and was furious.

"Divorce! This marriage must end. I can't live with a woman like you for even one day."

The man didn't go home and walked away, waving his hand.

The woman was hanging below the window and only managed to find a foothold with great difficulty.

Seeing that the man had left and ignored her, she immediately shouted angrily: "Come back, you come back."

"You don't keep your word, you scumbag!"

The residential complex Security Guard arrived upstairs and helped the woman down, but the suicide farce had not yet come to an end!

The woman was crying and wailing in the complex, accusing her husband of "several crimes."

Not handsome.

Cooking is not delicious.

The takeout ordered was not to her taste.

Not romantic.

Yelling at her!

……

In a woman's mouth, these unforgivable things are actually just trivial matters.

This woman looks to be over forty, and at her age, she still has the heart of a princess; it is hard to say whether that is fortunate or unfortunate!

Originally, Shi Youxuan just treated it as a spectacle and would have let it go after watching.

But later, a passage the woman said caught her attention.

"I am from the Women's Rescue Association. In a while, I will go and mobilize the sisters in the association to denounce the scumbag. He dares to bring up divorce with me? I will make him lose his reputation, leave with nothing, and not get a single cent..."

Women's Rescue Association, it is the Women's Rescue Association again.

Although this organization has not been established for long, the commotion it has caused is not small.

They keep saying they want "fairness" and gender equality.

But many people are shouting the slogan of "fairness" while actually just wanting special privileges.

……

Study.

Shi Youxuan said to her husband: "I have something to tell you."

"Okay, go ahead."

In fact, the document Sheng Hanyu is currently reading is very important, but no matter how important the matter is, it is not as important as his wife's affairs.

Shi Youxuan: "I think I have found people from my mother's Clan."

Sheng Hanyu: ……

"This is a good thing, why are you looking so worried?"

Shi Youxuan asked her husband: "Have you heard of the Women's Rescue Association that has been making such a fuss lately?"

Sheng Hanyu nodded: "I know. Some employees in the company are threatening suicide recently because of this Women's Rescue Association. Do you suspect that the leader of the Women's Rescue Association is related to your mother's Clan?"

"Yes, I suspect this matter."

Grandma mentioned it once before.

Back then, it was because her mother's Clan demanded that her father marry into their family that the Jin Family did not agree to the marriage, so the two of them simply eloped.

It seems it wasn't just as simple as marrying into the family; it was also because her mother's Clan was too overbearing, and the scholarly Jin Family did not want such an overbearing daughter-in-law.

Jin Laofuren was not very willing to talk about that period, so she just touched upon it lightly and changed the subject.

Sheng Hanyu is never one to gossip, and he had not mentioned the matter of employees in the company threatening suicide because of the Women's Rescue Association.

Now, one thing led to another, so he brought it up.

Shi Youxuan also just learned that the "influence" of the Women's Rescue Association had already become so far-reaching.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to inquire about it," Sheng Hanyu said.

Shi Youxuan: "I have a premonition, I always feel there is a connection, and it is not just me who thinks so; Wan'er also has this feeling."

"Also, I feel that something will happen recently; it is a very bad premonition."

Shi Youxuan's premonition came true.

Something happened the very next day.

Morning.

Jin Wan'er invited Shi Youxuan to go shopping to look at baby supplies for after the child is born.

Shi Youxuan readily agreed and prepared to go pick her up.

Wan'er said her mother-in-law was worried about her going out alone, so she would bring her own driver and bodyguard, and there was no need to pick her up.

The two agreed on a time and place.

Half an hour after Shi Youxuan arrived, Jin Wan'er had still not arrived.

Calling her phone resulted in it being powered off; Shi Youxuan waited another ten minutes, but instead received a call from Jian Yining.

"Xuanxuan, are you and Wan'er together? I cannot get in touch with her."

Shi Youxuan: "No, we are not together. I have been waiting here for her for forty minutes."
