Zhou Shuixian was deeply moved when she heard Zhao Cuihong's words.
After all, in this day and age, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl.
Many families of brides tend to turn a blind eye to the mistreatment their married daughters suffer in their husbands' homes, or at most, they might verbally reprimand the husband and then let the young couple live their lives peacefully.
However, when her family heard that she had been wronged at Old Wang's house, they not only went to Old Wang's house to beat him up, but also forcefully took her away to divorce him and return home.
They not only accepted her, but also took her two daughters home with them.
Now, her mother said something even more touching, and Zhou Shuixian's eyes welled up with tears.
She sniffed, forcing herself to speak, "Mom, what are you saying?"
Thinking of her two daughters who were in daycare, she said to Zhao Cuihong, "Mom, after getting married once, I finally understand what the saying 'marriage is a woman's second reincarnation' means."
Marriage is too heavy for women. Before marriage, you have no idea whether you are marrying a human or a ghost.
"I finally escaped that hellhole of the Wang family, and I never want to get married again!"
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Zhao Cuihong's expression tightened, and she said, "Eldest son, Mom knows you've suffered."
But what woman doesn't get married?
"You're still young, how can you live without a man?"
Zhou Shuixian felt instinctively uncomfortable when she heard her mother's words, but she knew that it was the old-fashioned thinking that had bound her mother.
As a modern woman with a job and worldly experience, Zhou Shuixian didn't blame her mother. Instead, she said earnestly, "Mom, what's the use of a man?"
I have a job now and can support two children. When they grow up a bit more, I'll find two sons-in-law to live with them. Then I'll retire and enjoy my old age. Life won't be easy then.
While other old ladies are busy taking care of their old men, I can dress up and stroll around looking beautiful. Tell me, how many old ladies are as carefree as me?
"..."
Upon hearing Zhou Shuixian's words, Zhao Cuihong and the two Zhou sisters were stunned: Could it be like this?
Zhou Yuzhu immediately chimed in to persuade her, "Mom, look how much better my older sister is doing now than she was in the Wang family. Why would you want to bring a man back to disgust her?"
"What if she runs into another old woman like Li Chunmiao who loves to nag her daughter-in-law? Wouldn't all the good days my sister has finally achieved be gone?"
"Exactly! Isn't it so much more carefree without men? You can do whatever you want, and you don't have to deal with a whole family of men!"
Zhou Guihua also joined in the persuasion, and Zhao Cuihong, upon hearing this, seemed to have some merit to it. She sighed in resignation, "Alright, Mom's getting old and can't keep up with the times anymore. You two can live your own lives..."
Zhao Cuihong turned around and happened to see Lin Xiangdong and the others who were dumbfounded. She immediately went over to help them get the vegetables.
Lin Xiangdong and Wu Xuejun hadn't recovered from their shock yet. Why did their wives seem to envy their older sister?
Could it be that these two men are holding their wives back?

After several days and nights on the train in Kyoto, Zhou Jingyun finally managed to get Ruan Miaomiao to Kyoto University.
Fortunately, Ruan Miaomiao sent most of her luggage to the school by mail, so the two of them didn't carry much with them and could be considered to be traveling light.
After arriving at the school and registering, the two went to their assigned dormitories.
Ruan Miaomiao arrived relatively late. Five people were already living in the six-person dormitory, leaving only the top bunk near the door for Ruan Miaomiao.
Ruan Miaomiao didn't complain, since she didn't plan to stay in the dormitory for long anyway, so she took the newly bought mattress and prepared to make the bed.
However, before Ruan Miaomiao could even begin, Zhou Jingyun stopped her: "Miaomiao, you must be tired from the train ride. Borrow a chair and rest while I get it ready for you!"
Dressed impeccably, Zhou Jingyun rolled up his sleeves and had Ruan Miaomiao sit on a stool to chat with her roommates. Then, he brought in water in an enamel basin, climbed up to the top bunk, wiped the bed board, and then wiped it with a dry towel. After that, he laid out several layers of newspapers before putting on the mattress and sheets he had brought.
After making her bed, Ruan Miaomiao had already developed a bit of a bond with her roommates.
At first, the roommates guessed that Zhou Jingyun was Ruan Miaomiao's brother.
When the roommates learned that the two were dating, they were quite surprised: after all, they had seen plenty of brothers who doted on their younger sisters in this day and age.
However, men who dote on their wives are truly rare.
In particular, this man was good-looking, dressed elegantly, and spoke with remarkable mannerisms.
How could a man like that take care of a woman?
For a time, her roommates all began to envy Ruan Miaomiao's good luck.
"Wait, you said your name is Ruan Miaomiao?"
After chatting for a while, one of my roommates suddenly asked a question.
Ruan Miaomiao nodded, then asked with a blank look, "What? Is there a problem?"
Upon receiving Ruan Miaomiao's confirmation, the woman who had just spoken exclaimed excitedly, "You're the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, Qian, who got a near-perfect score?"
Upon hearing the woman's words, the other roommates were also shocked: "What? You're that pervert?"
"Tsk tsk, so you're the top scorer in the college entrance exam. No wonder your boyfriend treats you so well. What if you leave him if he doesn't?"
...
Seeing the shocked women, Ruan Miaomiao smiled faintly and said in a gentle voice, "It's alright. Many of the students who were admitted to our school are top scorers."
Everyone was excellent; I was just lucky that I happened to have reviewed all the questions on the exam!
Arriving in a new environment, Ruan Miaomiao did not want to make enemies.
