Chapter 394 - 396: See Through_1
Li Qiao couldn’t help but argue once again, "When a woman marries a man, or is it the man marrying the woman? In our place, children born to men who marry into the woman’s family take the woman’s surname. You can’t enjoy the honor and abundant material life brought by a man, and yet expect the child to also take your surname, right? Wouldn’t that make men the biggest victims? Besides, as a mother, raising children is also your own responsibility and duty. Has your partner, Zhuang Shu, fulfilled his duties as a father and husband?"
Suddenly, Zhuang Shu saw things clearly, as if her mind, which had been stuck in a dead end for years, believed that all her sacrifices were for men.
As a result, she was often gloomy.
Now seeing things from a new perspective, she realized she was being stubborn. She smiled and said, "He’s very good to me, even when he’s busy, he always finds time to accompany me and the children."
Li Qiao said, "See, there you go, having a loving husband and four lovely children, everything you’ve sacrificed is worthwhile. Why be melancholic all day long?"
Everything is for men, similar to Dong Lamei’s phrase "I’m doing this for your own good."
Zhong Qiongsui, seeing Zhuang Shu’s mood lighten, quickly added, "But all this was traded for career. Getting married and having children is a wrong choice for women. Shu’s talents are all wasted; I feel it’s such a pity for her."
Li Qiao didn’t plan to continue discussing this topic with Zhong Qiongsui, it was too complicated. She changed the subject and said, "Suddenly I remember I have a friend, her younger sister kept saying bad things about her partner in front of her, and eventually they got divorced. Soon after, I found out that my friend’s younger sister married her freshly divorced partner."
She was relating something she had seen in the news, Zhong Qiongsui’s behavior was really quite similar. She hadn’t said a bad word about Shangguan Qingfeng, but she was constant in bringing him up.
If she had a friend like that, hearing such words over and over, her resentment towards men would probably be heavier than that of a female ghost.
Zhong Qiongsui felt as if she was being called out and her face flushed red.
