Wu Dali, recalling the hardships of working before, changed the subject and said, "Then I shouldn't have gotten married so casually!"
"I really regret it now!"
Xie Yan understood. This was just creating trouble out of nothing. They were having too much of a good time and had to find something to cause trouble!
Wu Dali's daily life consisted of eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, which was no different from that of a pig!
If you're not satisfied with this, you want to go to heaven!
Who in the entire Xiliu Village doesn't envy Wu Dali's life?
Wu Dali continued, "I feel like I was tricked into marriage. When we first got married, Cherry was such a nice person! She spoke softly and gently, and she would cook delicious food for me!"
"How much time has passed? And you're already finding fault with me at every turn!"
"You're saying I'm wrong about this and wrong about that!"
"I really feel like I can't live in this family anymore!"
"There's not a single place for me to go!"
Xie Yan: "..."
"Then go to work!"
Wu Dali glared angrily at Xie Yan, "I only got married so I wouldn't have to work. If I wanted to work, why would I get married?"
Xie Yan: "So you're not at work either!"
"Aren't you already living the life you wanted?"
Wu Dali glared angrily at Xie Yan, "Are you the one talking, or am I?"
Xie Yan shut his mouth and made a zipping motion before Wu Dali continued, "Yes, I am living the life I wanted, but that was before, not now!"
"Cherry is really going too far these days. She's always looking out for me and won't even let me lie on the kang (heated brick bed)!"
"And you expect me to do housework!"
"Is housework a man's job?"
Xie Yan couldn't help but ask, "What should a man do?"
Without a second thought, Wu Dali replied, "To do something big!"
Xie Yan covered his face, "Then let me ask you, what big thing have you done?"
Wu Dali opened his mouth, paused for a moment, and then said, "Just because I haven't done anything big now doesn't mean I can't do something big in the future!"
"My current situation is due to the limitations imposed by the environment on my development!"
Whom do you look down on?
Xie Yan: "..."
It wasn't that he looked down on Wu Dali.
He saw absolutely no potential in Wu Dali to accomplish great things!
Seeing Xie Yan's disbelief, Wu Dali stood up and shouted, "What's with that expression? Stop looking down on me! Let me tell you..."
Xie Yan quickly interrupted him, "Yes, yes, you'll definitely achieve great things in the future, and that won't conflict with you doing housework now!"
Wu Dali looked coldly at Xie Yan and sneered disdainfully, "You talk a good game, but why don't you do any housework? Isn't it your wife who does all the housework in your family!"
Xie Yan sneered, "My wife usually does the housework in our family, but that doesn't mean it's her responsibility. It's just that I'm too lazy, and she takes on my share!"
"I never thought that was something she was supposed to do!"
"You can't be blind to her sacrifices and take them all for granted!"
Xie Yan sat up straight and said very solemnly, "Household chores are something that everyone in this family should do."
"It's not just the wife's responsibility! We both have a responsibility to do housework!"
"You can't take your wife's contributions to this family for granted!"
Wu Dali pursed his lips, unsure how to refute Xie Yan. This was the first time he had heard such a statement, and it overturned his understanding.
That's clearly not the case. Everyone has told him since he was a boy that he doesn't need to do housework or go into the kitchen.
These are things women should do!
He's destined for great things; a wise man keeps away from the kitchen!
But Xie Yan's suggestion does seem to make some sense!
It took him a long time to speak before he shouted back, "What nonsense are you talking about? These are things women should do! These are things they should do!"
Xie Yan laughed angrily, "What they should do, I won't talk about others, just talk about you. In your house, your wife is working, and you are sleeping in the room."
"She'll be back from work, and you'll still be sleeping, right?"
"People say that men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs, but your wife is responsible for both external affairs and internal affairs! What's the difference between having you and not having you!"
"You've contributed absolutely nothing to this family, all you do is eat and drink. What's the point of having you?"
"Does it look nice to display at home?"
"The problem is, you're not good-looking either! Look at yourself, are you as good-looking as Shen Jianguo?"
Wu Dali: "!!!"
His eyes widened at Xie Yan's words, his lips trembled, and he roared, "I'm a man!"
How dare you use the word "good-looking" to insult me!
Xie Yan waved his hand, "Don't rush, and don't get carried away. I'm just stating the facts!"
"Then tell me, if you neither do any work at home nor are you pleasing to the eye, what's the point of having you?"
Wu Dali: "But we have feelings for each other, how can you say that?"
Xie Yan: "Then what do you think I should say? Should I join you in cursing your wife?"
Wu Dali sat dejectedly on the stool, without saying a word!
Xie Yan sat up and looked at Wu Dali, saying, "You are the beneficiary of this marriage!"
"What's wrong with someone insulting you or saying a few words to you!"
"What's wrong with you, a beneficiary of the system, getting scolded?"
"If you don't want to get scolded, start doing the housework. When Cherry gets off work, cook all the meals and see if she still criticizes you!"
"For couples like us who got married without knowing each other very well, we'll need to work on our relationship more after marriage!"
"Be more tolerant of each other, recognize each other's contributions, and don't take them for granted!"
Wu Dali frowned. "I'm a grown man! How can I do housework? These are things women should do!"
"Everyone is like that. My mom also goes to work, and when she comes home, she cooks, cleans, and takes good care of my husband and me!"
"What's so different about her cherry blossoms!"
Xie Yan: "..."
All those nice words I said were for nothing!
Why!
"Then I'll just ask you one question! If you keep doing this, Cherry will get fed up and can't stand you anymore. What will you do after you get divorced?"
Wu Dali said in disbelief, "How is that possible? Why would Cherry want a divorce!"
Xie Yan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I just say? You're utterly useless in this family. Just because Cherry can tolerate you now doesn't mean she can tolerate you in the future!"
"Didn't you say that she's not as good to you as she was when you first got married?"
"If you don't change and continue like this, divorce is just a matter of time!"
"This is Cherry's home, and Cherry is capable; she can still live a good life after the divorce!"
"But you're different. After your divorce, you can only go back to the educated youth settlement and live a life of going to work and coming home every day!"
In short! It hit Wu Dali right where it hurts!
His lips trembled. "No! Cherry won't get a divorce!"
"Does she even care about her reputation after the divorce?!"
