“How can I work? Working is too tiring, and my man is so rich. Right now, I don’t have children, so he doesn’t give me much. But once I have children, he’ll definitely give me a hundred a month.”
Jiang Xue really didn't want to hear her outrageous remarks. "So you mean you're just going to take a son back home and get more living expenses?"
Ji Yun forced an awkward smile that looked more like a grimace. "That's not entirely what I meant. Boys are definitely not as useful as girls when they grow up, but at least he can take care of me when I'm old."
Jiang Xue was utterly dumbfounded by her plan. "Don't you think it's a pipe dream to bet everything on a man your whole life?"
But Ji Yun couldn't understand what Jiang Xue was saying at all. "Haven't we always been like this?"
She glared at Jiang Xue impatiently, then said to Ji Chen, "Brother, just let me take Shao Heng back. I don't want that good-for-nothing, and my man definitely won't support Shao Meng."
"Smack..."
With bloodshot eyes, Ji Chen slapped Ji Meng hard across the face. "That man is already messing around with other women outside, and you still expect him to raise your son?"
Ji Yun covered her face, her eyes red-rimmed. "What's wrong with a man having fun outside? Shouldn't a woman be more magnanimous? Where can I find such a rich man if I leave him?"
Jiang Xue's lips twitched as she listened; she simply couldn't understand why Ji Yun thought this way.
Thinking that it is the 1980s, perhaps due to the backwardness, these women have no sense of independence at all, and only feel that they are appendages of men.
Although we now advocate that women can hold up half the sky, how can servility just disappear?
"I'll raise the child. If you want more living expenses, go earn it yourself." Ji Chen pushed Ji Yun away, exasperated.
Jiang Xue felt a deep sense of powerlessness upon hearing this; she had no way to change someone's mindset.
"Don't bother us again. If you want to take Shao Heng away, take Shao Meng with you. If you don't want to, then please don't bother us." Ji Chen was so angry that he didn't eat a single bite of food. He picked up Shao Meng and was about to leave.
Jiang Xue, holding Shao Heng's hand, followed Ji Chen out of the restaurant.
The silence was deafening; they couldn't communicate, and even their arguments were on completely different wavelengths.
Ji Yun slumped onto the stool, looking embarrassed. Right now, all she could think about was worry. She was worried that if her man left her, she would have no source of income.
After leaving the restaurant, Jiang Xue remained silent.
Shao Heng also had his head hanging low, but he was still happy. His aunt was protecting him so much, and he couldn't be happier.
Ji Chen was also confused by Ji Yun's actions. "Jiang Xue, wait for me here for a moment."
Ji Chen put Shao Meng down. "Can I give her some money?"
Jiang Xue quickly said, "She's your sister, and the money is yours. You can do whatever you want with her."
"Do I need my wife's permission?"
Ji Chen's words instantly made Jiang Xue burst into laughter, and the shadow from before disappeared.
"Go ahead, if it really doesn't work out, let her go home, but she's not allowed to stay at my house. She has to sleep in the same room as her best friend." Jiang Xue has never been one to back down. To insult her like this, to despise her, and to expect her to take her in—that's something she can't do no way.
"Then I'll give her fifty yuan and let her think it over carefully."
Jiang Xue couldn't help but complain, "You're like a money-spending machine; no matter how much you earn, it's never enough to share."
