Chapter 544: Turns Out Women Have Never Just Held Up Half the Sky
"Why would I lie about this? If you don’t believe me, ask your team leader. I heard the teachers didn’t mention this to us because they were afraid we’d feel too much pressure. If you ask, they’ll definitely tell you."
Li Youmin looked towards Lin Jiadong, who had already ridden his bicycle far away...
Xu Cheng nudged him, "What are you staring at? Let’s go, let’s head back together. It’s terribly cold, probably going to snow."
...............
When Lin Jiadong got home, his second sister and brother-in-law were there, busy in the kitchen making dumplings.
These days, he stayed at his second sister’s house and could see that his brother-in-law was truly good to his sister.
He wouldn’t even let his sister do much household work.
In their village, they hadn’t seen a man in the kitchen; not to mention cooking, even after eating, they wouldn’t wash their own bowls.
It seems like men, apart from working in the fields, left all the household chores like laundry, cooking, feeding chickens, and pigs to the women.
He never thought much of it before. After all, both at home and in other families, it was always like that.
Only after witnessing his second sister and brother-in-law’s lifestyle did Lin Jiadong realize that when it comes to working the fields, women did just as much, sometimes even more than men.
Why should men come home from the fields and lie on the kang, while women still have to cook and feed chickens?
