Chapter 940: Housewife

~6 min read 1,153 words

Yang Nuomi was muttering there, and the people around began to discuss again.

Men.

"Being a housewife is actually fine; men have this capability—who wouldn't want their family to live comfortably?"

"I also think it's okay; nowadays, don't we all acknowledge the contribution of housewives? Equal worth."

"Yang Lao, this is a bit unnecessary; different people have different choices—those who have money shouldn't be denied enjoyment."

"If women aren't housewives, what about the kids at home? Is hiring a nanny really reliable?"

"I feel Yang Lao is right—women shouldn't rely on men for survival; even if they're wealthy, it's easy to create conflict."

"Men work every day, women are housewives; they'll have fewer and fewer common topics—men want to talk about careers, women can only talk about household matters."

"Men think women are idle; women think men don't understand them."

"This kind of mismatch, over time, will definitely cause problems."

Upon hearing this, the women immediately agreed.

"Exactly like that—my parents are the same: my mom thinks my dad is useless, my dad thinks my mom's housework is easy, and they often argue. They can't see eye to eye."

"This situation is very common, so I also think women shouldn't just be housewives; they need to have something to do."

"I also disagree with being a full-time wife—do you think not working is good? Don't you know how many women play mahjong, how many love shopping, how many walk dogs and tease cats?"

"People still need to have a proper job; otherwise they're prone to go astray."

"What's so hard about it? If a woman has talent, she should naturally be a career woman; otherwise it's a waste of talent. For those without talent, being a housewife isn't bad either—it's also a kind of career."

"Raising children is also exhausting."

Everyone's enthusiasm for the discussion.

The foreigners found it quite novel.

"What's there to discuss? Isn't it just a personal choice?"

"If you want to work, go work; if you don't want to, don't go!"

"Is anyone still forcing you?"

"The rich can hire a nanny; the poor just do it themselves—whoever earns less stays home, simple as that."

"You all seem so complicated."

Everyone was stunned.

It seems the foreigner is right.

Why do you insist on interfering with your other half? Why do you obsess over their opinion?

People should be two completely independent individuals; each of their choices should be respected.

Even if problems arise, it's still whoever earns less who stays home.

Suddenly, this matter lost any point of discussion.

The foreigner was still there, putting on airs.

"You guys just think too much; you're living too exhaustedly."

"Yeah, I also feel that—you're indeed capable, but you don't enjoy life."

"Happiness is what matters most; worrying about this and that—if you're not happy, why get married?"

"Yeah, your marriage seems like a task with many demands; shouldn't it be that two people stay together because they're happy?"

"They impose too many burdens on marriage."

"I think you should give up those betrothal gifts, houses, cars."

"That's how you can be happy."

What these few foreigners say is quite reasonable.

The people present felt helpless; traditional influence is too great, great enough to sway your life.

Not to mention all kinds of commercial brainwashing.

Ordinary people are all being led by the nose.

Most people basically have no choice.

For two people who love each other and want to be together, do the parents at home need to approve?

Parents are a topic we can't avoid in marriage.

Often, they can even determine your marriage.

Moreover, daily necessities like firewood, rice, oil, and salt are also topics you can't avoid in marriage.

It's not just a matter of liking each other.

A marriage without foundation is difficult.

Liking is temporary, but life is permanent.

Moreover, our view of marriage still aims to last a lifetime.

Not as casual as abroad.

They marry when happy, divorce when unhappy.

But nowadays foreigners also marry cautiously, because the risk of property loss is high.

Yang Nuomi never expected that a housewife could be talked about in such a way by them.

She hasn't married yet, but she knows she won't marry a tall, rich, handsome man.

She can only look for an excellent person among ordinary folks.

Thinking this, she looks even more unfavorably upon Yang Qing, that old geezer.

Why is this old coot who elbows outward her grandfather?

Poor fate.

She checked her phone balance—still over seven million.

This was all her savings.

Once it's gone, she'll have to take any odd job just to scrape by.

She wasn't stupid—when she left home, her mother had already told her.

"Nuomi, Mom can't help it—you're an adult now, you need to stand on your own."

"Your dad's really unhappy with me these days, so I don't dare to help you behind his back."

"So you'll have to rely on yourself."

"Come, listen to what Mom's going to say."

"After you head out, don't spend recklessly—your Azure Dragon Securities limit of five hundred thousand is fully used, all turned into stocks."

"That way you'll have a fallback."

"Use the rest to buy a place in Qiongzhou, find a job, and you'll never struggle too much in life."

"Your grandma and the others are also in Qiongzhou—just drop by now and then; even a little they spare will be enough for you for life."

So she'd already maxed out her Azure Dragon Securities holdings.

Having a safety net, she relaxed and came here to unwind.

What about going to see her grandma?

She still doesn't want to meet Yang Qing.

Little did she know, Yang Qing already knows she's there.

Yang Qing wouldn't actively care about his younger generation.

But Zhou Ying will tell Chen Hong and the gang.

Women are naturally linked.

Ever since Yang Nuomi arrived in Qiongzhou, she's been under surveillance.

Among this crowd, there are people from Changcheng.

While Yang Nuomi muttered here, someone elsewhere had already logged it.

Only after Yang Qing's livestream ended did Yang Nuomi happily head back to her hideout.

Really didn't want to see that old geezer again.

But she couldn't just not go along with the group.

Seeing Yang Nuomi head back, the Changcheng folks also returned to their dens not far from hers.

A foreigner glanced over here in surprise.

And thought he was interested in Yang Nuomi.

After Yang Nuomi got back to her den, she logged into an account and began calling out Yang Qing.

"Old Man Yang is sabotaging people's marriages."

"He's an old lecher—does he even know what love is? And he's putting on an act here."

"He knows jack—how many wives he's had, how many women he's hooked his kids up with—what right does he have?"

"We need to see through his hypocrisy."

"He loves no one but himself."

"Everyone in the Yang family is just his pawn."
