“They deceived me with family ties, deliberately hurt me, and took most of my salary while I was at work, just to save up for their son’s dowry. Marrying me off was also to save up for their son’s dowry. The dowry was just an exchange between the two families, and I, the bride in the middle, was a laughing stock. I couldn’t even get a share of it.”

Zhou Xiaoyu was already in tears when she got to this point.

Who doesn't want a good family? But in reality, a good family is something that many people can't achieve in their lives.

They have accumulated too much psychological trauma and problems from their original families.

It seems that the whole environment is telling them that if you want to get rid of these negative shadows and be reborn, then get married. If you find a good partner, he will treat you well. If you have a child with his surname, he will treat you as one of his own.

In this way, you can say goodbye to the past and be reborn.

They never considered another possibility: that you married someone who wasn't a good person either, but a devil.

This demon also wants to suck your marrow dry, to squeeze out every last bit of value from you, and even scatter your ashes.

Many times you think it's a good thing that your husband is willing to pay a high dowry to marry you, but you never think that your husband might also harbor resentment.

Why should we spend so much money?

If marrying such a woman costs so much money, shouldn't we demand double the value from her to compensate for our financial losses? Perhaps having a few children would also be acceptable.

In short, as long as they package their intentions as candy and hand them to their wives, concealing their inner scheming with love, they can become good men in their wives' eyes, and have several children who bear their surnames, thus fulfilling the task of continuing the family line. Their wives will even have to endure hardship and work while taking care of the children to lighten their burden.

They are complete winners in life.

For people of their class, isn't it perfect enough to marry a virtuous wife, have several children, and have a wife who wholeheartedly considers the family and takes on multiple roles?

Many women use idol dramas to understand men and believe that everyone around them is a good man.

But what about men?

There are indeed men in this world who are obsessed with love, but what percentage of them are they compared to women?

There will definitely be far fewer.

At least they weren't advised from a young age to change their lives by getting married, or to make everything in their lives revolve around marriage, or to make all their career choices and professional skills serve their future family.

Many people even treat raising a daughter as if it were raising a daughter-in-law, and they are eager for a son-in-law to become their son and enter the family.

Many women don't even receive support in buying a house.

Their parents believe that men will provide housing, and you'll have a house as long as you're with him, so why would you need to buy one?

This is what many people think.

Even if you have money, they will still think that way.

They didn't consider at all who owned it, and they didn't consider at all the cost you would have to pay to move into this house.

Are there really that many good men in society? Are there really that many loving couples?

So why is it that among the couples we see around us, there are hardly any that can be described as loving and affectionate? Those who just make do with each other are considered harmonious by others.

Most so-called true love, what others see as a perfect couple, is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In times of economic downturn, people are more inclined to marry someone of equal social standing.

A married couple must be equal to some extent, both economically and emotionally. They can't be talking at cross purposes and unable to understand each other.

So is finding a good husband really that simple?

What did the news report say?

Even if you give up your surname and don't want to live the same life as your parents, when you encounter it and can't escape it, you will still imitate the life of your parents.

And besides you, your children, especially girls, will also bear the brunt of this suffering.

Zhou Xiaoyu has completely come to terms with it.

She planned to completely sever ties with the man who had harmed her, and then she would be able to figure everything out, and all the factors that were hindering her from moving forward would disappear.

"My own experience doesn't mean that asking for a bride price is wrong. I hope that all the women watching this live stream will realize that asking for a bride price is nothing to be ashamed of; it's adding an insurance layer to your life. Truly wise people won't be angry or resentful because of how much bride price you asked for. If you do encounter such a person, please run away. I'm very emotional right now, and my ability to organize my thoughts is failing, but I can assure you that you won't see a woman arguing with her husband online and then making up happily in the end. As for Qin Menghan, if I don't divorce him, may I be struck by lightning."

After she finished speaking, she waved wearily, turned around, pushed open the door, and went out.

Zhou Xiaoyu's back view looked so frail.

She spent the first half of her life suffering in her family of origin, and the second half of her life was spent exhausting everything to help her husband get his ticket to success, only to be kicked aside by someone else.

After years of living in a daze, she finally chose to let go, but the years she lost and the price she paid are something no one can ever repay.

Zhou Xiaoyu had made up her mind to get a divorce, so Qin Menghan naturally didn't say anything more; he couldn't even utter a word he wanted to say.

Zhou Xiaoyu just shut down all the excuses he had come up with with her illogical words.

A dark glint flashed in Qin Menghan's eyes. Zhou Xiaoyu wanted a divorce, but it couldn't be that simple.

Don't think he doesn't know; Zhou Xiaoyu has already connected with Jiang Tian.

Although Jiang Tian is a very despicable person, her advantages are obvious: she is extremely rich.

If she were to casually invest in their company, Qin Menghan could guarantee that it would reach new heights.

If Zhou Xiaoyu can really keep this big client, then all the money she earns will be marital property, which she will have to split equally with him. Why would he want a divorce?

The director wondered if he was out of his mind to start this show.

These guests simply didn't follow the show's schedule.

They're all so arrogant, don't they ever think about how hard the production team works?

Seeing that the situation was getting increasingly out of control, the director asked the assistant director, "Have you contacted the families of these guests?"

The assistant director nodded: "They are all willing to come, but some will wear masks, saying that it is inconvenient to expose their image to the public."

"Whatever, just tell them to come as soon as possible. I'm recording the family meeting part tomorrow! I don't believe they'll choose to divorce under pressure from their families!"
