Chapter 455: Knowing the Advance and Retreat, Understanding the Intensity
"He's just a team leader. He hasn't achieved much, but he's a male chauvinist. He basically doesn't care about family matters and leaves all the housework and children to the woman in the family." Kang Mingyuan shook his head and said that he had no feelings for such a man.
"Their children should be quite big, right? Why have I never seen them before?"
"There are three children. The two older ones are girls, both in their teens. I heard they are in school back home. The younger one is a boy, about seven or eight years old, who attends a nearby primary school. He went back to Dong for the New Year and hasn't come back yet."
"They are so old and should have worked for a long time. There are so many people here, so why haven't they bought family housing yet?" Qiao Mo was surprised. With their conditions, they should be able to buy at least a two-bedroom house.
"The woman and the child both have rural household registration. Without household registration, they cannot buy a house, so they can only live in single dormitories," Kang Mingyuan explained.
"Even this time, they didn't get any housing, and they'll have to continue living here. Without a household registration, they won't have food supplies. Women and children have to buy food from the village, and only men get a salary. The burden is heavy, and the living conditions aren't very good. So, she's in a bad mood and doesn't like everyone, especially those who are better off than her."
"No wonder that woman always targets me. It turns out she is just jealous and envious." Qiao Mo nodded seriously.
"Yes, yes, she is just jealous that you are a college graduate and can live in a family housing complex at such a young age. She is jealous that your conditions are better than hers, and that your man loves his wife dearly." Kang Mingyuan nodded with a smile.
"Don't flatter yourself." Qiao Mo saw that he didn't forget to praise himself when talking about other people, and glared at him angrily, "You are definitely pulling down others."
"What I said is true. Many men in the institute have chauvinistic ideas, especially those whose wives don't have jobs. They often use the hard work as an excuse to leave all the housework to their wives."
"This is the bad nature of men. They think they are great just because they make a little money. They don't understand how hard their wives work at home taking care of the children and doing housework."
"Jiang Yue's man is a typical example. When he comes home, he acts like a big boss and won't even help if the oil bottle falls. The most hateful thing is that no matter how Jiang Yue bullies others outside, he won't care. When others come to him, he will frown and say that women's private affairs should be resolved by women, and he will never get involved." Kang Mingyuan said disdainfully. He was not talking behind other people's backs. He was just reminding his dear wife not to let Jiang Yue get involved.
"I understand. In fact, the people in their village are very good to them. They don't work at home and are willing to sell food to them. If they buy food on the black market, their lives will be even more difficult." Qiao Mo knew that the food sold in the village was at a low price, much cheaper than the black market food.
"Their hometowns are in the suburban county, not far from here. Moreover, the village cadres all think that Song Yi is the most promising person in the village. They think that he might need their help in the future, so they take better care of them."
"Maybe the village cadres are all their relatives, otherwise why would they take so much care of them?" Qiao Mo said without comment.
"That's also possible."
After the two finished their meal, Kang Mingyuan washed the dishes and Qiao Mo wiped the table as usual. It was too cold outside, so they did not go out for a walk. Instead, they walked around the house. Half an hour later, they sat down to do their homework.
When the alarm rang at nine o'clock, the two closed their books and prepared to repair the chain.
