Chapter 830: Each side claims they're in the right
True, that's quite proper.
The Yang family's children actually think this way.
Another matter also surprised them: Tequ Daxue and Shanhedaxue actually don't accept people from the Yang family.
They don't think these two universities are bad; these two universities now have great influence internationally, especially in recent years, they have repeatedly achieved scientific breakthroughs.
Compared to top overseas institutions, they are not lacking anything.
After all, the Yang family pours tens of millions into them every year.
Moreover, the large number of successful people these two universities have produced also donate money to their alma mater each year.
In addition, there are many collaborative research projects.
The resources of Te Qu and Shanhedaxue are richer than those of all universities in Daxia.
The Yang family has contributed so much, yet they only want lower-level talent.
Even their own children can't even get in.
The Yang family actually managed to fulfill their own promise.
These two universities are actually truly people's universities.
This makes countless people feel incredulous.
You know, government-run universities can't achieve such fairness; admission qualifications are heavily skewed.
Upright thinking, selfless and fair attitude.
It moves many people; in the live broadcast room, there are also students or alumni from these two universities.
Upon hearing Yang Rong's words, they all began to come forward to testify.
"I graduated from Shanhedaxue; I can guarantee that the classmates of the 05 microelectronics major all came from ordinary people."
"Don't worry about being laughed at; actually, most students at Tequ Daxue come from charitable funds."
"Actually, most of us are impoverished students; many even come from the poorest places in the country."
"Yang Lao previously said that we have many alumni who, after achieving success in their careers, try every way to give back to their hometowns, and they have suffered much harm."
"But they have never stopped striving; when they can no longer continue in their hometown, they bring people out."
"The appearance of the hometown is constantly changing."
"Yes, I am also……"
…………
As alumni from Tequ Daxue and Shanhedaxue spoke up one after another, the scene turned into a performance venue for the two universities.
One by one, the more they spoke, the more others envied them; many even felt resentful, wondering how this bunch of dirt-legs could get into universities better than theirs.
But no matter how dissatisfied, there's nothing you can do; haven't you heard? Even the Yang family themselves can't get in.
What right do you have to talk back to them?
Yang Qing saw the subtitle tower in the live broadcast room leaning more and more, so he hurried to prop it up.
"Miss, do you think what Yang Rong said makes sense?"
The person opposite, in fact, has been talked down by Yang Rong to the point of having little to say.
They are now trying to find a loophole.
Upon hearing Yang Qing's words, she fell silent for a moment, then spoke.
"Then we women still have to carry a pregnancy for ten months, still have to bear the risks of childbirth, and because of family we have to give up a lot……"
"We women owe men nothing."
"At most we're about even."
"But under normal circumstances, for a married couple, not every man goes to border defense, not everyone is a firefighter, and certainly not everyone is involved in drug enforcement……"
"The men at home don't do these things; they even do nothing, and they're lazy and ugly—why should we women have to tolerate them?"
"We who contribute acknowledge that the majority who don't contribute are……"
"They're like pigs at home—no cooking, no housework, only know how to play games and scroll videos—what right do they have?"
"Childbirth is something every woman must experience, but how many men do border defense or firefighting?"
"Why should the dedication of some men benefit all men, when some of them clearly do nothing?"
"The more she spoke, the more she felt her words made sense."
Yang Qing was almost convinced by her.
Cough cough……
Yang Qing almost got led around by her.
"Nowadays, getting married, doesn't the man need to prepare a new home?"
"The man didn't give the betrothal gift?"
"It seems the man needs to prepare many things for marriage, right?"
"Surely nowadays marriage doesn't require the man to prepare household goods?"
"Nowadays, newlyweds in Daxia, do they not need to prepare anything at all? Or does it mean that nowadays, when marrying, the man and woman contribute equally?"
The other party was stumped by Yang Qing's series of questions.
Although this world isn't as extravagant as the previous one, due to traditional influences and capital hype, marriage remains a costly affair.
Although it doesn't require emptying the wallets of three generations, it still requires the savings of one generation.
Marriage is a solemn matter; it carries a solemn meaning.
However, the value of marriage is decreasing while its high cost rises inversely, making marriage increasingly dispensable.
This is also one of the reasons why the marriage rate keeps dropping.
"Isn't this supposed to be the case?"
"We women marry into their families, we have to bear children for them; if they aren't prepared, does that mean we have to prepare?"
"We also have to support the husband's parents in their old age, and the children we bear take his family name."
"Why should we be the ones to make the sacrifice?"
"Isn't this what men should be doing?"
"Even animals, when they find a mate, know to build a nest."
Yang Qing felt these topics were utterly pointless.
You tell her that men make sacrifices when they marry; she tells you about surnames and marrying into a family.
If we keep going like this, the topic will never end, because we can always find a reason.
But you still can't not say it.
"These days, how many married couples actually live with their parents?"
"Aren't most couples just living on their own?"
"Then there's the surname issue: if you don't take his name, you can take yours—is that a problem nowadays? As long as you bear the main family responsibilities, it's fine."
"I think Daxia has the practice of a son-in-law living in the wife's home, right?"
"That's also pretty good."
"There's no problem at all."
Furthermore, regarding Yang Lao's matter, does the woman not need to support Yang Lao's parents?
"Normally, it's the siblings who take turns caring for them, right?"
"Doesn't the woman need to support her own parents?"
"Miss, if you want to find reasons, there will always be reasons, because everyone makes sacrifices, everyone feels resentful, and there's always dissatisfaction."
"It's like Earning Money: if you make a hundred, you still want two hundred."
"It's the same with family: you hope your boyfriend or husband becomes ever more outstanding."
"Even if he becomes outstanding, you'll still feel he isn't doing enough."
"To satisfy oneself, one can never rely solely on others."
"Only oneself can satisfy one's own desires."
"There are some sayings in life that make a lot of sense."
"It's rare to be blissfully ignorant."
"Live in the present."
"Life requires wisdom, but wisdom is absolutely not an endless nitpicking."
"If you put all your energy into nitpicking, where would you find time to appreciate the beauty around you?"
"Just like walking down a road, obviously there are infinite beautiful views on both sides, but your attention is only on why I walk here, why not ride a bike; if you ride a bike, you then think why not drive a car; if you drive a car, you then think why this car isn't a convertible? In that way you can beautifully enjoy the surrounding scenery."
"The beauty is right there; you just need to pause a moment, stop your feet, look around, and you can possess it."
"Happiness may be simple; it's just that we ourselves have thrown it away, rather than there being no happiness."
