Chapter 3 (4)
Because of his excellent work in data labeling, Di Liren was chosen by his leader to go out for research.
This opportunity was rare, and many people hadn't had the chance to get close to the leader, but Li Ren had the chance. However, Yu Jia was still worried about Li Ren - she was worried that he would be the first to do so.
As he packed his suitcase, Liren urged him to take Capital with him. It was now his pillow, carried wherever he went. He wanted to strive to achieve the same level of freedom that a high-ranking leader could offer when eloquently reciting Capital.
Sisi is still learning English and is always ready to break away from her parents' control. She has lived with her mother for so many years and has not learned Yu Jia's tolerance. Instead, she hates this tolerance. She is determined to go out and see the world and breathe some fresh air. Her daughter is determined to leave, so Yu Jia has to consult Yu Meng. Her two sons went out early. Yu Meng immediately said that it is no problem. If they live in the school, the children can take care of each other. There are also guarantors and friends in the United States. "If you can go out, go out." Yu Meng advised, "Children nowadays must have a global perspective." Yu Jia listened and laughed. She did not say that Li Ren wanted Sisi to go to the UK.
Yu Jia wholeheartedly disagreed with Li Ren and Yu Meng's view—the employment rate for returnees was even lower than that of domestic institutions. If they had a global perspective, they should have allowed their children to stay in China and adapt to the complex environment. This was the primordial jungle, where they could train for survival.
While Li Ren was away on a business trip, Yu Jia seized the opportunity to get things done that “needed to be done”.
For example, she could organize her private money properly, buy financial products where necessary, and deposit them where necessary. This could be done normally, but with Liren around, she always felt like she was committing a crime—it was unpleasant to be sneaky—and Di Liren also had some private money, which she always pretended not to know.
For example, she invited her younger brother, Yu Yi, to dinner. Li Ren was away, so she wouldn't let him in unless it was a holiday or something important. Over the years, the Yu family had troubled Li Ren. Li Ren had asked many people for help and had done a lot of favors just to support Yu Yi's education, from high school to college and then to graduate school. Although Li Ren hadn't mentioned it, as husband and wife, helping each other was a natural thing, she knew that everyone in the Di family looked down on the Yu family. Therefore, it was best for him to show up less often. This included her parents and her younger brother. But now that Yu Yi was in graduate school, if he could find a good job in the future, perhaps he could help Li Ren.
Yu Jia made this plan.
"I want to get a Ph.D." Sisi went to Wall Street to take classes. Yu Jia and her brother were the only ones at home.
"Read." Yu Jia was busy folding a trash can. The material was a supermarket flyer.
"Brother-in-law, can you..."
Yu Jia interrupted, "You've been here for a few years now, and you still haven't established a good relationship with your mentor?"
Yu Yi said aggrievedly, "It's not that I didn't do it well... Doesn't my influence count... I don't have the weight of my brother-in-law... We only recruit one person with a PhD... There are so many people waiting in line... If I don't have a real connection... I'll just take the exam according to the Eight-Year Anti-Japanese War."
Although Yu Jia blamed her brother, the three words "weighty" struck a chord with her.
Liren has weight, which is equal to her weight. Together they are glorious.
"Why not study abroad?" Yu Jia suggested. Perhaps Yu Yi and Sisi could "pack up" and go abroad. That way, she'd have an insider. Having her own brother was more reassuring. Yu Yi scratched his head, saying he hadn't thought about it. He planned to keep an eye on things, a two-pronged approach. As the siblings chatted, they stumbled onto the topic of Yu Shuang and Yu Rui.
Yu Yi said Rui had already moved out. Yu Jia didn't know about this. After she came to the big city, her life was different from the others. News was always delayed. Yu Jia guessed that Yu Rui had moved, but she didn't want to hurt her brother's feelings, so she had to persuade her, "Just study hard now and don't think about anything else. The most important thing for a man is his career. With a career, he won't have to worry about anything."
Yu Jia also told her brother to return home early for Spring Festival. She might not go back to her parents' home, depending on the situation. Liren's parents lived in their house in the provincial capital, which meant they were close to Liren's sister. Since they rarely returned home for Spring Festival, she had no choice but to go with them to the provincial capital to serve them.
After not going to work, Yu Rui spends almost the entire day with Shi Tongguang, except for the time when her husband goes out to do business or meet people, when she has some free time.
Shi Tongguang's love words often include, "Baby, you are mine."
The first time I heard it, it had a bit of a domineering CEO vibe to it, but after hearing it for a while, it started to feel off. Honestly, they got along pretty well, and Shi treated her well. They quickly settled into a routine, like an old married couple. It was basically the married life Yu Rui had imagined.
But she always felt that Shi had used her too hard. He was like a person who had been thirsty in the desert for too long, wishing he could drink a bucket of water in one breath. But she, Yu Rui, was like wine, she had to savor it! How could she just guzzle it? It would be a waste!
Old Shi provided the money. Three months' worth at a time, and he spent it on his own expenses. But Yu Rui felt bad. She always felt like Shi Tongguang was "buying" while she was "selling." This feeling was worse than when she was with Old Master. Back then, she was all about the money. Her goal was clear: to finish the job quickly. Not now. She and Old Shi had been aiming for marriage from the start.
Abnormal. She doesn't want to be kept in a golden house.
On this day, when Old Shi was about to go out, Yu Rui had already changed her clothes and was waiting at the door.
"What?"
"With you."
"Need not."
"It doesn't matter."
"They're just rough old men."
Yu Rui smiled, "Can it eat people? It's not like I haven't seen that before."
"You are at home and the cat hasn't been fed yet." Old Shi made an excuse.
Yu Rui couldn't insist any longer. A desperate struggle wasn't her style. It seemed her feeling was correct. Shi Tongguang didn't want her in front of his friends. He had no intention of exposing her. The ancestor was even willing to introduce some connections. Old Shi hadn't given her a single lead; he held onto all his connections.
When Old Shi arrived home that evening, Yu Rui was still furious, though her anger wasn't as intense, like an antelope hanging its horns, leaving no trace. Still, Old Shi sensed something strange. He sat down, his arm around Yu Rui, and returned to the topic from that morning. "It's not that I don't want you to go, it's those people—a mess." Yu Rui scoffed. What kind of people had she not seen? Men and women, young and old.
She had a cold face -
This reason is unacceptable.
"It's my fault." Shi Tongguang suddenly raised his hands in surrender. "I was selfish. I was afraid those guys would do something to you..."
"What."
"I'm tempted by your beauty."
Yu Rui didn't say anything and felt better.
"I'm not confident." Shi Tongguang continued to follow this clue, "I've never found such a beautiful girlfriend before, and I'm afraid someone will snatch her away."
To put it bluntly, just calm down.
This was the truth. They had never brought it up on the table, but now that Old Shi had brought it up so openly, Yu Rui's resentment subsided and she was able to talk calmly.
“I have to play a role.”
"You're useful!" Shi Tongguang began to speak glibly again, "You're the magic needle that stabilizes the sea. Without you, I'd be in tatters and at a loss!"
Yu Rui decisively glared at him.
Tongguang rolled over and fell under the bed.
During the New Year holiday, Yu Shuang called Rui and asked her to "go home" and stay for two days. Yu Rui urged her to live well, as they had just started their lives. Yu Shuang insisted, "Come back, and stay for two days."
"Where's Kanglong?"
Yu Shuang hesitated. Yu Rui realized the seriousness of the situation. "Did you have a fight?"
"no."
"I won't say anymore. I'm hanging up now."
"Ruirui——" Yu Shuang's voice was not normal. Yu Rui realized the seriousness of the problem, so she asked Tongguang for "leave" and went back to stay with Shuang for a few days.
The timing was perfect. In the big city, Shuang was her mother's home. Although she and Lao Shi hadn't really been arguing yet, they were still a little unhappy about whether or not to see their friends. She went to Shuang for a legitimate reason, and it was also a gesture.
She'd been getting a little fed up with Old Shi lately. He'd been plowing the land so hard, Yu Rui even suspected he had a sex addiction. She wasn't averse to those kinds of things, despite his youth. But doing what Shi Tongguang was doing didn't seem right. Thinking further, she felt this man had no intention of staying with her forever.
If you don’t use it during the validity period, it will be invalid after the expiration date?! Damn it!
It's best to stop for a while.
The house felt like it had been robbed. Yu Rui yelled, "Shuang!" Yu Shuang responded, the sound coming from the bedroom.
"This is too outrageous." Yu Rui came to the bedside and was about to call Kang Long to ask for an explanation.
"Stop hitting!" Yu Shuang stopped him.
"What the hell is going on?"
"We broke up." Yu Shuang said quickly.
Tongue-in-cheek.
Bold and decisive, like what Yu Shuang did.
"no……"
"He has distorted values."
Yu Rui gave Yu Shuang a hug. She couldn't solve this problem.
Yu Shuang continued, "It's a good thing we lived together and tried it, otherwise I wouldn't have known he was this kind of person."
"What happened? Did he smash the things?"
"I smashed it."
"Crazy."
"He's a male chauvinist," Yu Shuang said excitedly. "He believes men are superior to women, that men should be in charge, that they should be in charge, and that they should be on top."
Yu Rui couldn't help coughing. The last sentence was the key.
"Just because of that?"
"It's not just one aspect, it's all aspects, everywhere, anything, everywhere! He also told me not to work so hard after getting married, and that the man should be the breadwinner and the woman the homemaker. What? He can do what I can't? He can make money but I can't?" Yu Shuang was furious. She hated being looked down upon by men the most in her life.
"Did he really say that?" Yu Rui doubted the authenticity.
"That's roughly what it means." Yu Shuang added fuel to the fire.
"How did the fight start?"
"Playing games."
"Um?"
"He wouldn't let me. He killed me ten times, thinking it was a natural intellectual advantage. I deserved to die ten times."
Sigh. This is completely childish. Shuang is always so childish in this regard.
"Really split up?"
“Stop losses decisively.”
"Could it be that he feels sorry for you and is thinking about you?"
"Have you ever heard of 'To the Oak Tree'?"
"Song?"
"poetry."
I remembered. "What does that have to do with it?"
"The relationship between him and me is like that between trees, not like that between vines."
Yu Rui had no choice but to change her position and hold Yu Shuang's hand, "Honey, do you know why men get married?"
"Continue the family line and act with tyranny."
Yu Rui shook her head. "It's not like before. Women are educated, capable of working, and able to support themselves. There are still men who act tyrannically at home, but they are much less common."
"What kind of marriage is that? For a hooker who doesn't want money?" Yu Shuang was being too bold.
Yu Shuang shook his index finger. "For a boring title."
"title?"
"Parents, at least in name only," Yu Rui coaxed. "Boys and girls are naturally different. You have to admit that."
Yu Shuang reluctantly admitted it.
"Men are strong and willing to do things, so let them do it. Why are you competing with them?" Yu Shuang pointed to the living room and said, "Don't you take turns moving the water from the water dispenser in your house and doing the work?" Yu Shuang nodded, saying it was the principle of equality. Yu Rui smiled and said, what's so equal about this? He is capable, you ask him to do it, and you say you can't move it, can't reach it, can't achieve it. Be smarter, why are you making things difficult for yourself? Yu Rui smiled again, "What can men do in this world, how many women can't do? What's the big deal?"
"I just don't want him to get the upper hand!" Yu Shuang said, "I can't stand his smug look!"
Yu Rui said, "Dear, do you understand the saying 'step back to advance'? There are things women can do that men can't."
"What...what happened?"
"Give birth to a child."
Yu Shuang really cannot agree with this.
"You have been brainwashed." Yu Shuang said.
"Women are so great." Yu Rui sighed.
"I'm so fed up with it. I bleed every month!"
Yu Rui smiled, "My dear, this is life! Why don't you try not to bleed one day? If a woman doesn't bleed, doesn't sacrifice, it means she's no longer favored by nature, and isn't even considered a complete woman. If we don't bleed, what's the difference between us and the walking dead? This is a woman's right and pride."
Yu Shuang was a little confused. This was a new idea she had heard of.
Yu Rui said, "Be smart and understand each other. There are four people a woman can rely on: her father, her husband, her son, and herself. As for men, besides herself, the only one they can rely on is their father. For someone like Kang Long, his father is not even an option. It's very hard for him." After a pause, she continued, "He works so hard and is still willing to be relied on by you. Why not accept him?"
Yu Shuang was stunned. "Shouldn't we separate?"
"Not really." Yu Rui said, "We should make good use of it." After a pause, she criticized, "As for that matter, what's there to worry about? If he wants to be on top, then let him be on top. You just enjoy it. Why bother with it?"
“No…I…”
"Giving birth is very tiring," Yu Rui smiled. "What's the point of letting the men work hard in the early stages? How can flowers and fruits bloom if the cows don't plow the land?" She spoke as if she had given birth herself.
"It's not...that..." Yu Shuang spoke incoherently.
"Just an example, not to argue," said Yu Rui.
Yu Shuang leaned over to Yu Rui's clothes and twitched his nose. "Are you in love?"
"No." Yu Rui wanted to keep it a secret.
"have."
"Nervous."
"A man's...stink."
Yu Rui pulled up her clothes and sniffed, "Where? Is there anything?"
"One hundred percent." Yu Shuang said confidently.
"You're hallucinating." He still refuses to admit it.
Yu Shuang tickled her armpits. Yu Rui had no choice but to accept it. She was ticklish. She didn't want to hide it.
"What kind of person?" Yu Shuang was curious.
"I'm just an ordinary person, I can't compare with your great professor." Yu Rui said.
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you," Yu Shuang said, "a class only lasts three minutes." He brought up the matter again.
Yu Rui laughed so hard that she fell backwards with joy.
