Lian Sheng was sweating profusely and wanted to back down, but Ye Zhaoyu's aura was too strong, so he dared not and could only continue answering.
“Okay, let’s just do a little bit, and we’ll make it 300 yuan. Do you have any objections?” Ye Zhaoyu asked him with a smile, showing no remorse for bullying a child.
"No objections," Lian Sheng shook his head.
"Did you eat more than girls and wear more new clothes than girls when you were little?"
"yes……"
The onlookers nodded in agreement, saying that raising boys was indeed expensive.
“Let’s say it costs 200 yuan to raise a boy, and you only earned 100 yuan. Then there’s the wedding. The most basic things for a wedding are the ‘three turns and one sound’ (referring to a house, a watch, a radio, and a watch), right? A bride price, right? A room, right? All these things add up to a little over 1,000 yuan. You’re saying you haven’t even started earning money yet, and your parents are already subsidizing your wedding. You might even have to use your sister’s or younger sister’s bride price to get a wife! Do you think I’ve calculated it wrong?”
This time, Lian Sheng remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I can earn this money back very quickly."
“You’re right, but you’re going to use the money you earn to raise your children. Doesn’t raising children cost money? Doesn’t supporting your wife cost money? Don’t you spend any money on yourself? Then ask the older generation in your family if they’re using all the money they earn to support their children. And that doesn’t even include the cost of housing. If you didn’t have a house, wouldn’t the family’s expenses be even greater?”
"Indeed, I give all my retirement savings to my son. When you think about it, it seems like men contribute more money."
"I was wrong, women aren't a waste of money." Lian Sheng could only admit his mistake and leave.
Ye Zhaoyu didn't make things difficult for him. She turned to look at the parents of the unruly children, most of whom were women. She sighed softly before speaking coldly.
"Ladies, if you don't recognize your own labor and feel like you're a financial burden, that's fine with you at home. You can't represent all women."
Ye Zhaoyu swallowed the fact that your grandson was a freeloader, afraid of angering him to death.
Grandma Hua didn't actually agree with Ye Zhaoyu's calculations. It's just that everyone agreed with her now and thought she was right, so she could only secretly refute her in her heart.
The main problem is that this money-loser's eyes are so cold, it's like he's going to freeze her to death at any moment.
"Little brat, remember this: you're a money-loser. If you want to get rid of this title, remember to listen to your teacher."
Ye Zhaoyu, holding Ye Xingwan, looked at Old Lady Hua's grandson and spoke rudely.
"Yunjue, let's go home." Calling Ling Yunjue, the family of three chatted and laughed as they headed home.
The people who had gathered at the school dispersed. Today's events had given everyone pause for thought. If all labor were measured in monetary terms, men would actually be more like money-losing assets.
They were even losing money, and this new idea gave many people new inspiration.
When men come home at night and still act like they're the boss, complaining about how hard they work, some women retort.
Smart people ask how much a nanny earns per month. The prices vary, but good nannies can earn up to 100 yuan a month, especially those who are hygienic and know how to take care of postpartum women.
Some nannies do less work than you would do at home.
Many people realize for the first time that doing housework has value, but this value seems worthless in the eyes of some men when placed in the family.
Starting today, there are far fewer voices criticizing women for being worthless, and women are beginning to recognize the value of their labor.
When boys in the family call girls "worthless," some girls will argue back instead of just accepting it.
After the three returned home, Ye Zhaoyu praised Wanwan for doing a good job, saying, "Our Wanwan is great. As long as you are right, you should bravely express it. Don't be afraid. Mom and Dad will always support you."
"Since I did such a good job, can I have some braised pork ribs? I want to eat braised pork ribs too." Upon hearing the praise, Ye Xingwan immediately made her request.
"Okay, go ask Aunt Liu if she has any spare ribs. If she does, we'll eat them today; if not, we'll eat them tomorrow, okay?"
Ye Zhaoyu discussed it with Ye Xingwan.
Ye Xingwan didn't answer immediately, but thought for a moment before replying, "Okay, then I'll go ask Aunt Liu."
After Ye Xingwan left, Ling Yunjue hugged Ye Zhaoyu and said, "You've raised our daughter so well."
Ling Yunjue didn't actually know how to answer her daughter's questions about what a "money-losing child" was and what a "household head" was.
Ye Zhaoyu quickly took a different approach and explained it to her clearly, and taught her how to fight back.
"That's how my mom taught me too. I didn't understand it when I was little, but I suddenly understood it when I grew up."
Ye Zhaoyu misses Ye Lingge again.
You can't reason with a child, but you can guide them to answer yes or no. Even the dumbest and most stupid person can make an objective judgment about what's happening around them, unless they're lying on purpose.
Once we start thinking, we can’t be absolute about many things. For example, when it comes to people, apart from gender, there are no absolutes; most answers are relative.
The next day, Ye Zhaoyu took Ye Xingwan to school to ask for leave.
When the teacher saw that it was Ye Xingwan, she was very welcoming. "Xingwan's mother, is there anything I can help you with?"
This morning in class, those naughty kids were noticeably more obedient. Some things, taken literally, can have unexpected effects when cleverly applied to real life.
Transform the gender-rejection issue into a neutral one, focusing solely on giving and receiving, regardless of gender.
"I came here to ask for a two-week leave for Wanwan. I would like to trouble the teacher to give me the course content for those two weeks, so that my husband and I can take turns teaching her." Ye Zhaoyu stated her request for leave without giving a reason.
The teacher knew that the child's parents were international students, and that Xingwan's mother was obviously very good at teaching her child, so she approved the leave without asking why the child needed leave.
Ye Zhaoyu left a phone number in the south, took the leave slip and homework, and went home with Ye Xingwan.
"Mommy, where are we going?" Ye Xingwan asked, nestled in Ye Zhaoyu's arms.
"Mom is taking Xingwan out to play, do you want to go?" Ye Zhaoyu asked her.
"I want to go, I want to go! Where should we go? To the beach or the zoo?"
Upon hearing about going out to play, Ye Xingwan became excited.
"Yes, I can eat lots of delicious food. Aren't you looking forward to it?"
"I'm looking forward to it, Mom. Do you have my favorite shrimp?"
Ye Xingwan was a very supportive child; he responded to everything Ye Zhaoyu said.
When the two returned home, Ling Yunjue had already packed their luggage.
"Is Daddy coming too?" Ye Xingwan wanted to sit on her father's shoulders as soon as she saw him.
Ye Zhaoyu put the person up directly, "Yes, Dad is coming too. Our family is going on a trip. Aren't you happy?"
"Happy." Ye Xingwan sat on Ling Yunjue's shoulder and giggled.
