convenience store.

Most of them are open 24 hours a day.

Yuki Nagano gets off work from the tax bureau at six o'clock every day and works part-time here until midnight.

Today, Nagano Nao actually knows very well why Nagano Yuki is so stubborn in working part-time and even pays for meals.

In Japanese society, women's status is fine before marriage, but their status after marriage is hard to describe.

Just like something as simple as eating, men can sit down to eat but women have to kneel down to eat, and usually when to eat they have to wait until the man says it’s time to start, and then the woman can eat after the man has finished eating.

Housewives seem to have an easy life without having to work hard, but in fact, it is not easy at all.

Things like mopping the floor, washing clothes, cooking, buying groceries, and tending flowers, plants, and trees are all done by the full-time housewife alone.

It seems simple, but it is still very tiring after doing it for a whole day.

Because the home environment must be kept very clean, the floor has to be cleaned by people kneeling on the ground. You can imagine how tiring it is to crawl around all day.

At night, when the man comes home from a social event outside, drunk and with lipstick marks all over his face, the woman has to thank him for his hard work even though she is hungry. Then she helps the man wash his feet and let him rest before she is allowed to eat.

If that were all, it would actually be fair.

But domestic violence is often a common phenomenon. After all, when working outside, it is inevitable to encounter difficult clients, bosses who are trying to make things difficult for you, and so on. When you are in a bad mood, you always need to vent.

So the result is always that the man will deliberately find fault and finally beat him up to vent his emotions.

Women can only bear it silently.

To put it bluntly, family status depends on economic ability, and if society does not give women economic autonomy, they will only become social vassals.

The new generation of girls were inspired by Western universal values ​​and launched the Heisei Movement. Most of them, like Yuki Nagano, can make money on their own and do not have to live a humble life like their predecessors.

Of course, there are also many women who take advantage of the upper class taking away more female resources and causing the lower class to lack mating rights in order to gain more benefits.

But in Japan, a country that is almost as unfriendly to women as India, social values ​​​​determine that boxing in the general sense has no soil to grow.

Knowing that his naive wife was carefully protecting the girl's last dignity, Nagano Nao didn't urge her, but asked curiously: "Why are you working here part-time?"

"It's because I owe you so much money! I saved up a million with great difficulty, and you made me owe several million just for one meal." Nagano Yuki said pitifully, looking aggrieved and resentful.

Nagano Nao was both amused and confused: "Did I say I must pay it back?"

"Straight man, do you want to go back on your word? A man can keep his word. Straight man, you promised to allow me to continue making money."

"I didn't tell you to go back now."

"real?"

"After get off work, make up for it well and I'll allow you to work."

"oh."

"Don't look so sad, or go home now."

hateful!

You only know how to use such despicable means to threaten others.

Even though she complained, Yuki Nagano could only force out a hypocritical smile.

Nagano Nao was so happy that he asked casually, "How much money can you make working part-time here?"

"I'll give you 920 yen a day."

“So little?”

"It's not too little, right? I can also eat the unsold bento boxes at the convenience store for free, which is equivalent to an extra 400 yen. It's 6,000 yen a day."

"Come on, you are a top student at the University of Tokyo after all!"

"So what if I'm from Tokyo University? Do you think I'm a boy like you? Part-time jobs in other places are not like in companies, so it won't be safe. There are always a lot of people in convenience stores, so there won't be any problems." Nagano Yuki said helplessly, looking pitiful with her pouting face.

Nagano rolled his eyes and said, "You know it's not safe to work part-time outside."

"You take me for an idiot! How could I not know such a thing?"

"Yuki is smart, that's enough! But I don't think convenience stores are that safe. How do you know that idiot just now?"

"I met him when I came to buy cigarettes, but he is a big shot in the securities company! If the news that Hankyu's stock price is going to rise is true, then can't we make a lot of money?" Nagano Yuki said, obviously excited.

Nagano Nao was jealous and said angrily, "He is not a big shot, just a small section chief. I can kill him in a minute."

"Straight man, are you angry?"

"No."

"You're obviously angry? But I don't know him well, really."

"I already said I'm not angry."

"Oh. Then go to their company tomorrow and help me buy some stocks!"

"Idiot, do you believe whatever is said by a human or a ghost? You can only listen to the news from a guy like him the other way around."

"Stupid, do you think I went there because I believed him? I just want you to understand that you shouldn't believe everything anyone says."

"What?"

"Come with me tomorrow and you'll find out."

"oh."

A guest is coming in.

Yuki Nagano went to greet them.

Nagano Nao had nothing to do, so he strolled around the store.

The prices are really good and cheap! Tobacco is generally around 200 yen, and 15 kilograms of watermelon is only 900 yen.

I couldn't help but think of the driver I met when I took a taxi to a job interview.

If that guy really changes his career to selling fruits, his life will probably be much better than that of ordinary people in the future.

At this time.

Yuki Nagano bowed to see the guest off, and couldn't help but look in the direction of Nagano Nao.

The straight man must have been very angry when he was mocked for not being able to support his wife! But he still took care of my face in this situation. He has really changed a lot! I feel deeply grateful and sweet in my heart.

If you don't love yourself so much, how can you be so considerate to yourself!

Then should I go back and make it up to him tonight? Thinking about how her man always asked for compensation in a very lewd way, Yuki Nagano felt a flush on her face.

But it seems like I am the one who feels comfortable! Idiot!

How could you have such an idea?

It's obvious that he is taking advantage!

Finally it was twelve o'clock.

Yuki Nagano handed over her shift to her colleagues.

When she changed into work clothes and came out, Nagano asked, "You must be hungry. Let's find a place to eat something before going back."

When she heard the word "eat", Nagano Yuki felt uneasy.

I already owe millions. If I continue to eat this, I won't be able to pay it back in my next lifetime.

"I know a great beef hotpot restaurant right in front of us. Let's go there."

"OK."

Come to the hot pot restaurant.

Beef hot pot buffet, 1,000 yen per person.

I have never tried this kind of hotpot restaurant that rates the consumption, but the two of us had our own thoughts and enjoyed the meal very much.

We paid the bill AA as agreed.

Yuki Nagano drove home with this person, feeling a little satisfied.

"I'm back!"

"You've worked hard, straight man! Yuki is back too!"

Kanako Nagano greeted them, and the smile on her face was obviously strained for a moment.

Nagano Yuki didn't notice anything, but said casually: "Has Kasan not rested yet? It's so late."

A Kasan's shouting made Nagano Kanako very embarrassed.

Because of that thing that came before, we didn’t have that this week. I wanted to give Nagano Nao a surprise, but I didn’t expect that the two of them came back together as a pair.

A sense of crisis of encountering a natural enemy lingers in my heart, and in addition there is a complex feeling of self-blame and guilt.

But thinking about what Nagano Nao said about changing the name of the house, she always wanted to share something, so with some small thoughts, Nagano Kanako brought a wooden barrel with medicine prepared earlier.

This made Nagano Naoto nervous.

Without waiting for Nagano Kanako to kneel down and take off her socks, she quickly put her feet into the bucket.

Kanako Nagano deliberately showed her advantages. She knelt on the ground as usual and massaged the soles of Nagano's feet.

I really want to say goodbye! But it's hard to hurt this poor woman.

With a sense of nervousness, this guy secretly looked at Nagano Yuki's expression, but he didn't know that Nagano Kanako just increased her strength a little bit, pressing on the Yongquan acupoint so comfortably that she directly hummed.

Yuki Nagano stood there, staring at everything in a daze.
