The female boss shook her head: "I don't know either. Their situation is actually quite rare. Many young people here have been raised with this kind of mindset since childhood, so they usually don't argue and accept the rules. Middle-aged and elderly people like us have been cooperating all our lives and haven't argued much. It's their situation that's the most difficult."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the judge's follow-up questions came from the other end: "Who washes the clothes? Who cooks the meals?"
The man said condescendingly, "It was washed in the washing machine!"
The woman immediately retorted, "Didn't I put them in the washing machine? Didn't I separate and hand-wash your smelly socks and underwear? Didn't I hang them out to dry? Did you interfere at all?"
The fair-weather officer nodded and wrote in his notebook: "Laundry is ten yuan per time, cooking is fifty yuan per meal, and housework is eighty yuan per time. This pricing is based on the average price of the domestic service industry in recent years, and you will definitely not be ripped off."
Upon hearing this, the man panicked.
The price isn't expensive, but a woman can do this for over ten years, so it adds up to a huge sum!
He quickly tried to recall the chores he had done: "I changed...I changed the light bulb! I also carried the water jug!"
The woman remained calm and even smiled: "The light bulbs we bought are of pretty good quality. We've only replaced them five or six times in over ten years. You can charge him 100 yuan per replacement! As for changing the water jugs, at first I couldn't lift them and asked him to, but he always complained and complained for ages every time he tried to move them. So I bought a water pump myself. We only changed the water jugs in the first two years of our marriage. You can charge him 100 times a year, that's 10 yuan per replacement."
The fair judge shook his head and said seriously, "That won't do. Household chores like changing water and light bulbs have clearly marked prices. One is two yuan per time, and the other is three yuan per time. You can't raise the market price."
The man's face alternated between black and white.
He also wanted to find a few more household chores he had done to talk about.
But after thinking about it for a long time, it seems that I really do just sit on the sofa and watch short videos every time I get home, and I never help my wife with housework.
His wife was very happy, and then added to the equality counselor: "Oh right, and having children! When our society implemented equal rights, he hadn't been given a uterus and birth canal yet. I gave birth to my child and fed him myself."
The fairness officer nodded: "We also have a set of unified standards for childbirth before the era of equality. It costs 200,000 yuan to give birth to a child, 20 yuan for each feeding, 5 yuan for each diaper change, and 50 yuan for each hour you get up at night to soothe the child. If you can't remember how many times you did it, we will calculate it for you based on the average number of times per day."
The woman immediately nodded: "Okay, okay!"
After calculating everything, it was finally discovered that even though the woman hadn't worked for several years at the beginning, the final result was that the man still owed her more than 700,000 yuan.
The man's face turned pale. Wouldn't he be starving after the divorce?
He angrily shouted, "Why is having a baby so expensive?"
The fairness counselor said, "If you feel this is unfair, you can go to the hospital now for surgery to have a uterus and birth canal implanted, have another child, raise it to adulthood, and that will offset the cost of the child you had with your ex-wife. We will then help you recover the compensation you owe. The surgery is completely free."
This approach can ensure both fairness and the social birth rate.
The man was instantly speechless.
After thinking it over, he suddenly realized that although the housework was indeed done by the woman, it was their business. He could just deny it.
Just as he was about to speak, the fairness officer continued, "We will then go to your neighborhood to investigate and collect evidence from your neighbors, children, and others to prevent anyone from lying. We will also go to your home to inventory your assets. We will carefully count even a single chopstick or a single screw for you. We will absolutely guarantee fairness."
The man was instantly speechless.
The woman sighed with relief, "Fairness is truly wonderful."
[XiXi: How ironic, and also hilarious. It turns out that in this world, divorced couples even meticulously calculate how many chores they did… Are they still a couple? Don't they have any love left in them? Their divorce is such a mess! [laughing with face covered]]
[Oh my god: Haha, you guys think this is funny because you're still young and still believe in love, right? Actually, the essence of marriage is the integration of assets. Only by protecting the assets well and clearly quantifying the contributions of both men and women can you truly love each other.]
[I have a beautiful wife: This reflects a rather good era... Using methods like paying for housework or installing artificial uteruses to enforce compliance, while cumbersome, avoids a lot of unfairness. I've heard that a long, long time ago, housework was considered very little labor, childbirth was completely worthless, and it even served as a subtext for companies refusing to hire women.]
[Dream Without Return: Waaaaah, how terrifying! Luckily, I live in the advanced 23rd century, where such situations are rarely seen anymore.]
...
The fair judge took the young couple across the street home to settle their finances, so there was no more excitement to watch.
Jian Zhizhen and Qin Yubai said goodbye to the two bosses and left.
They were still the first among all the guests to leave work.
Jian Zhizhen wanted to go to the bar where Xu Qiuyuan was to listen to music, so she suggested to Qin Yubai, "Bai Bai, since we're so relaxed today, let's call Director Lin out too, and go to a bar together."
Qin Yubai nodded: "I'll listen to you."
So Jian Zhizhen sent a message to Lin Yi.
[Qingqing: Are Sister Zhenzhen and Brother Director siblings? They always think of each other.]
