Chapter 92: The Loyal Dog Attribute – A Man is a Warrior in the Outside World…
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. They all look for gentle and considerate husbands; only then can they take good care of the elderly and children at home."
However, this isn't absolute. There's a saying that values follow physical appearance; if someone is good-looking enough, being physically strong might not be a problem, provided they don't harbor any thoughts that contradict them, and certainly don't try to challenge their authority.
Fu Yun expressed her incomprehension: "Whether a man has a strong physique or not has nothing to do with the national system, right?"
【How could there not be? In modern times, those scumbags who shamelessly bully women do so simply because they think they're physically strong and that women can't fight back, so they bully them.】
Fu Yun said, “Your words are ambiguous. Those men who beat and insult women are social scum. They have problems with their thoughts and character, which has nothing to do with how strong they are. For men who are truly vigorous and have a strong sense of right and wrong, having a strong physique is actually a good thing. It allows them to better protect their families, giving women a break, enabling them to do more of what they want to do, and realize their ideals and values.”
According to databases, besides the essential survival skills of earning money, forming a family involves household chores like cooking, raising children, and caring for the elderly and children. One person always has to sacrifice, either a man or a woman. Does the person who sacrifices for the family still have time to realize their personal ideals and values?
Fu Yun pondered for a moment and agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "What you said makes a lot of sense. In our country, women often sacrifice far more than men, yet many people take it for granted. In my opinion, whether in modern or ancient times, it is undoubtedly unreasonable for only one side to make sacrifices."
He paused, then continued, "You might not believe it, but although my family is quite well-off, as far back as I can remember, my mother has never been a full-time housewife. She worked until she retired. She and my father rarely argued, and we never had a housekeeper. My mother..."
[If your family is so rich, why don't you hire a nanny? Are you trying to make a living without working? Who cleans the house? Would rich people be so stingy?]
Fu Yun took a deep breath, almost spitting out blood in anger at Xiao Ba: "How is that possible? Aren't there fully automated robots?"
Okay! I had forgotten about that.
“There’s a reason why we don’t hire one. My mom had some unpleasant experiences when she was a child, and she’s quite averse to having outsiders visiting the house. That’s why she doesn’t like hiring a nanny. My dad loves my mom so much, so naturally he’ll go along with her wishes.”
"You wouldn't believe it, my mom's favorite thing to do is cook a meal with my dad after get off work. My dad is known for spoiling his wife. He feels sorry for my mom working so hard and doesn't want her to have to run around the house after work, so he lets her sit and watch him cook while my mom keeps him company and keeps him entertained. He always tells me that men are naturally energetic and should do more housework so that their families can rest more. They should never be able to just sit around and act like a king at home."
Your dad is a really good man. Like father, like son. No wonder you're such a model young man. The only downside is that you're a little simple-minded.
Fu Yun hardened his fist: "Can't you speak properly?"
【I didn't say anything wrong! You've always been as stiff as a block of wood.】
Fu Jun sighed. Forget it, she couldn't be bothered arguing with a customer service representative about this.
He shared his final thoughts: "Anyway, I think that a good family relationship should be about working together to make the family warmer and happier. The husband and wife should understand, be considerate of, and support each other, and be each other's strong support. It shouldn't be one person struggling to make a living while the other is busy with pots and pans, single-handedly supporting the family."
"Most importantly, a man should be a warrior outside and a knight at home, caring for and loving his wife and letting her do whatever she wants."
[I never would have guessed that a domineering CEO like you wouldn't show love through coercion, but rather with the qualities of a loyal dog.]
Fu Yun said irritably, "Go away."
[Hahaha, you're getting angry because I hit the nail on the head?]
Fu Yun: "..."
"Don't worry, I'll stay in the room next to yours, no one will hurt you."
Perhaps because Fu Yun had been lost in thought for too long, Zhi Lan mistakenly thought he was embarrassed to answer, and actually spoke up to comfort him.
[Ahhh! This is what a fiercely protective husband looks like!]
Fu Yun: "Shut up!"
He's exhausted and fed up; Xiao Ba's mouth is just full of nonsense.
Fu Yun felt he needed to salvage his fragile image in Zhi Lan's eyes. He looked up at Zhi Lan and said seriously, "It's alright, I'm not worried. With so many of us here and you personally overseeing things, I doubt anyone will dare to act recklessly."
Zhilan's beautiful lips curved slightly upward, clearly in a good mood: "That's true."
"Master, there is a Laifu Inn 200 meters ahead. We have already made arrangements with the innkeeper and you can check in at any time."
Zhilan nodded with satisfaction: "Then let's go!"
Fu Yun followed Zhi Lan to the entrance of Lai Fu Inn and stopped. After dismounting, the two handed the reins to the waiter.
Qian Qingling shouted to the stonemasons, "Everyone, follow me."
The excavation team checked into the Laifu Inn. Zhilan, Fuyun, Yelan, and Qian Qingling stayed in a private room on the second floor. The room order was that Zhilan and Fuyun were in the middle, with Yelan and Qian Qingling on either side.
Liu Lan, Xing Fei, and the stonemasons all lived in the side rooms in the backyard on the first floor.
After a short rest, everyone was called to the inn's lobby for a meal.
Zhilan went directly to Fu Jun's room, with Ye Lan following closely behind.
Qian Qingling then called over a waiter and asked him to deliver the four people's dinner directly to Fu Yun's room on the second floor. She then arranged for Xing Fei and Liu Lan to stand guard at the door.
Fu Yun knew what the three of them meant, so she didn't ask anything and went straight to the square table.
He casually poured four cups of tea, pushing three of them towards the three people present, then raised his right hand to invite them to sit down.
After Zhilan took her seat, she looked up at Ye Lan and Qian Qingling, who were still standing to the side: "Sit down! There's no need to observe the formalities between ruler and subject when we're out in public."
Ye Lan and Qian Qingling replied in unison, "Yes!"
The two sat down on the benches on either side, not daring to look directly at Zhilan, their heads bowed and brows lowered, sitting upright and proper.
Fu Yun found it rather novel that the two women, who were usually so imposing, were now bowing their heads like quails in front of the Empress.
"Ahem~" Zhilan coughed lightly.
Fu Yun quickly withdrew her gaze from Ye Lan and Qian Qingling and returned to the main topic: "Let's talk about the route ahead!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan immediately took out a map from her sleeve and spread it out on the table.
Fu Yun pointed to the icon of Hongxing Town and said, "We are in this location now. After leaving Hongxing Town, we need to find Futou Village. There is no such village on the map. We may need to ask someone in the town for directions. After that, we will set off from Futou Village and have to cross several mountains to reach our destination."
As he spoke, he slowly moved his long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles. His transparent nails were neatly trimmed, making them pleasing to the eye and comfortable to look at.
He roughly pointed to a location: "We should be going to this place, but we'll be able to pinpoint the exact location once we get close to this mountain."
After Fu Yun finished speaking, she looked up and saw that the three of them were just staring at the map without saying a word, so she asked, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
