In the living room.

Yuki Nagano leaned on the sofa, her eyes full of tears.

When Nagano Jun'an was alive, she was the little princess of the family and her word was final.

But now.

Ever since his father passed away, Nagano Naoio seemed like a different person. Not only was he often aggressive, but now he was even more severe and started to use family discipline.

The ruler made a snapping sound.

But compared to the burning pain, I felt even more wronged. She just wanted to make some money, so why did she have to suffer domestic violence for it? Damn it!

Real men just know how to bully me all day long!

Nagano straight man!

The new Heisei women will never give in.

Even if you beat me to death, I will not come back to be a humble full-time housewife.

Nagano Yuki cursed in her heart.

But even if I found countless excuses for myself, I couldn't stop the strange thoughts.

It hurts! It really hurts.

It is indeed because of my own fault that straight men are always laughed at for not being able to support their wives!

Teach your son in front of others and teach your wife behind their backs.

As he has grown up, Nagano knows very well that a wife's temper actually depends on whether the man can educate her.

After fighting for a long time, I'm already a little tired.

With the idea of ​​educating his wife, he stopped and said, "Yuki, why are you so disobedient? Do you know that I am very worried about you every time you come back at midnight?"

Nagano Yuki said stubbornly, "You're worried about me, straight man? You bastard, you obviously want to beat me up, keep beating me up, even if you beat me to death I won't listen to you."

idiot?

Can't you hear that I'm giving you a way out?

Beg for mercy! If you beg for mercy, I won't be embarrassed to hit you.

"What are you waiting for? Do you think it's great to earn a little money? As a man, don't you have the strength to do this?"

I'm so angry!

Nao Nagano holds a ruler.

Bang, bang, bang! Another round of beating.

Nagano Yuki was beaten to a pulp, her whole body went limp and she stopped talking back at all.

As if they were in sync, Nagano Nao immediately taught her, "Yuki, do you know you are wrong?"

"I'm sorry, straight man. Yuki didn't mean to be disobedient."

"You can't continue to work part-time outside in the future, remember?"

"Onii-chan, Yuki will remember this!"

All along.

Nagano Yuki has an unreasonable personality.

Not to mention the double standards, it was nothing like now where you can say whatever you want to hear according to your own ideas.

Everyone knows that after a blow, you are rewarded with a sweet date.

Without exposing his naive daughter's strange reaction, Nagano Nao dropped the ruler and held her on his lap. The two suddenly had a tacit understanding. No one spoke, and they hugged each other, feeling each other's heartbeat and warmth.

We hugged like this for a while.

When Nagano Yuki's breathing stabilized, Nagano Nao said unhappily, "Yuki, you idiot, why do you have to make me angry? Is it so difficult to just agree not to go out for a part-time job?"

"Shouldn't you be responsible for saying such things, straight man? It's all because of you that I went bankrupt. How can I pay back the money I owe you if I don't work part-time?" Nagano Yuki said with a pout, looking aggrieved and pitiful.

"We are destined to be husband and wife, do I really have to ask you to pay me back?"

"Is that why you have to pay me back?"

"Why? Why should a family be divided so clearly?"

"Because Yuki doesn't want to be just a vassal of yours in the future. Obviously, husband and wife should have an equal relationship, but if she becomes a full-time housewife and can't make money, there will be no equality. At that time, Yuki will not be Yuki anymore!"

"Stupid, it doesn't matter if you don't make any money. Our family doesn't need the salary you earn!"

"That's what you say, but men's mouths are always deceiving. My senior's boyfriend said the same thing before she got married, but it's not the case at all since they got married. Last time I saw her face was swollen after being beaten by that bastard."

Nagano Yuki said dejectedly.

In fact, she doesn't have to make a lot of money, but her friends and senior schoolmates around her will be respected by boys when they first start dating, and even pursued like a dog.

However, once they got married, their relationship gradually changed.

With a feeling of confusion and worry, Nagano Yuki said softly: "Yuki doesn't want you, a straight man, to be laughed at for not being able to support your wife. It's just that my senior sister told me that family status always depends on economic ability. Even if two people love each other, the daily necessities of life consume each other's enthusiasm and make life boring and dull.

Men work outside to pay for their mortgage, support their families, and deal with their bosses and clients every day. With all these different pressures added together, it's natural that they will have a bad temper.

In the end, the people who were supposed to be loving each other ended up quarreling and fighting endlessly.

So Yuki just doesn’t want to end up like that with you, a straight guy, in the future.”

Since the two met.

They had never talked to each other like this before.

Looking at the blankness and innocence on the silly girl's face, Nagano couldn't help but rub her head and said, "Stupid, how could I bear to hit you! It's just that your part-time job outside is too hard, and you only rest for a few hours a day. I'm worried about your health."

"Although I know you have changed a lot, but what the senior said is not wrong. Just like Kasan, I did the housework that day and realized how hard it was to do housework. Kasan has to wash clothes, cook, mop the floor, and wash your feet. Isn't it because he can't make money that he is so humble? So please, straight man, be nice to Kasan. After all, we are the closest people!"

This idiot is not testing me! Nagano Nao was panicking, but he only saw a pair of pure and bright eyes, without any calculation or suspicion.

Am I a little too hateful?

The duty of educating his wife ended when Nagano Yuki fell asleep. Listening to her steady breathing, Nagano Nao couldn't help but smile.

You are already in your twenties and still so childish!

They keep calling themselves the new women of the Heisei era, but what kind of new women are they?

But it's not a good idea to always let her work in the convenience store. As the Minister of Health and Welfare of Japan, it would be embarrassing if people knew that his wife was working outside.

What can we do?

Got it!

It seems that tomorrow is the monthly meeting of the Daizo-Samida Association.
