Sure enough, no matter the era, this kind of gossip spreads the fastest, bar none.
After getting off work that evening, Wu Yuanyuan, unusually, didn't leave Buling behind to go on a blind date. Instead, she waited patiently for Buling to finish settling the accounts before riding her bike home with her.
"Yuanyuan, what's up? Not going on a blind date?"
Wu Yuanyuan pedaled her bicycle with all her might.
"I'm not going. As soon as they heard I'm from Yangliu Hutong, they all turned me down." She had plans for the next three days, but now, she's completely alone.
"Is it that serious?"
"What do you think?" Wu Yuanyuan said irritably.
This unexpected disaster struck; she was so wronged.
"That's perfect. Men who are scared away by comments aren't good matches anyway. You can take a break."
"That's all I can think of. I hope my sister-in-law will calm down a bit," Wu Yuanyuan sighed.
The two returned to the compound and stopped at the alley entrance as before.

Yu Dabao is one of the few men of this era who helps with housework. Even though he and Sister Mo have been married for three years without having children, he has never complained.
This is perfectly normal in Bling's view, but in this day and age, if you've been married for a year and still don't have children, you're considered a barren hen.
Although everyone says that women hold up half the sky, seemingly giving women the opportunity to step out of the home, the reality is that women not only have to work outside to earn money, but also have to take care of housework and childcare.
Bling didn't come here intending to stay single forever, but first she needed to find someone who met her standards; otherwise, she'd better remain a single aristocrat.
