Mr. Qian smiled awkwardly, somewhat embarrassed. Mrs. Qian, already annoyed, said, "I also think Dr. Qian is quite reliable. Mom can't delay any longer."
"The old lady refuses to go, what can I do? I can't just tie her up and force her onto the operating table, she's my mother." Mr. Qian vented his anger on his wife, but he was much more restrained. If he were at home, he might have overturned the table.
During this time, because of his mother's illness, he didn't even go to his mistress's place. His mother was seriously ill, so how could he be human if he went out to have fun again? But he was really frustrated and didn't dare to complain to his mother, so he naturally took his anger out on his wife.
He resented that she hadn't taken good care of his mother, and he resented that Mrs. Qian hadn't been able to persuade his mother to have the surgery. Anyway, he had a lot of complaints and needed to vent them on someone. He couldn't vent to his mother, and he felt sorry for his children, so it was only his wife who could do it.
Mrs. Qian also lost her temper and retorted irritably, "So you're just going to drag it out like this? Dr. Qian said that if we keep delaying, the tumor will rupture and even a miracle won't be able to save it."
Mr. Qian's face darkened immediately, and he glared at his wife. Mrs. Qian regretted her words. Her husband was already in a bad mood lately, so why did she have to provoke him outside? He would definitely take it out on her when they got back.
"Dr. Qian said she's going back to the US next month and won't be back in China for a few months. If the old lady still doesn't agree, we'll have to find another doctor to take over," Mrs. Qian said softly.
Mr. Qian frowned. He didn't trust Qian Manyu very much, so he was even more skeptical of the other doctors. He said angrily, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I only found out a couple of days ago. You haven't been home these past two days..." Mrs. Qian's voice trailed off, and she stopped talking before she could finish. Everyone pretended not to hear, but they all knew that Mr. Qian must have gone to his mistress's place.
Ye Qingqing felt quite sorry for Mrs. Qian. President Qian and President Zhang were both trendsetters of the times, and they had all the advantages of timing, location, and people, which is why they were able to become wealthy. However, their own cultural literacy was not high, many of them only had elementary school education, and they had a serious male chauvinism and did not respect their wives at all.
It's not just President Qian; President Zhang and President Wang have the same problem. Even when they're out, they don't treat their wives well. They don't even bother to pretend, because they don't care about their wives at all. Naturally, they don't think much of women either. I guess in their minds, women only have the function of warming the bed, besides bearing children.
Madam Xie couldn't stand Mr. Qian's domineering attitude and spoke up: "The old lady is rather stubborn. It's fine to go along with her on small matters, but she can't be allowed to act willfully on matters of life and death. Mr. Qian, you have to persuade her properly. You are her son, so it's okay to be a little harsh. She won't blame you."
“Yes, your wife is your daughter-in-law. It’s not appropriate for her to say anything too harsh or mild. It’s better for the son to speak up. We can’t delay any longer,” Mrs. Zhang couldn’t help but say.
Mr. Qian is the most short-tempered of the three men. He will even resort to violence when he gets angry. Mrs. Qian was beaten a lot when she was young, but she has become more restrained now that she is older.
But Mrs. Qian's life wasn't easy either. She had to be careful with her words and actions, otherwise she would be scolded for the slightest disagreement. Mr. Qian had no sense of saving face for his wife. No matter the occasion, he would scold people if he was unhappy.
Mrs. Qian endured everything for the sake of her children. Every time Mrs. Zhang and the others heard Mrs. Qian complain, they felt fortunate. Compared to Mr. Qian, their husbands were really quite good.
There's no limit to how despicable men can become; a woman's bottom line can be lowered again and again, which is why some men are allowed to become increasingly despicable.
Mr. Qian still gave Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Zhang face and promised to go back and persuade his mother.
