Chapter 232: Fighting people
Gu Mingyue and Shen Zhiqiang clinked their glasses. In their hearts, they gave him a barely passing grade, but they did not let him go.
He rolled his eyes and told us to eat quickly. While eating, he deliberately mentioned, "Xiaoxue, there's a really sensational news in our neighboring village recently. Do you want to hear about it?"
Knowing that Mingyue was backing her up, and guessing that she wouldn't speak without a purpose, Lu Xue was very moved. Naturally, she wouldn't spoil her words, and she asked, "Ah? What's the matter? Tell me."
"It was a couple who got divorced less than two years after their marriage. You know, in the countryside, it's rare for people to get to this point. If they really can't live together anymore, very few people would be so determined. Relatives kept persuading her, but the wife was very determined. Some people didn't understand, and soon someone told the inside story: the husband was the second child in the family, and the old man favored the eldest and the third child. He was stuck in the middle and was destined to be a victim. From childhood to adulthood, he did the most work and ate the least. He never got any benefits, and he was always the one to be blamed for everything. The husband was actually used to it and was willing to be exploited. The family had not originally planned to arrange a marriage for the husband, but it happened that the husband saved his wife who accidentally fell into the water. The woman's family thought that the man had good morals, so why did they do that? I know that life after marriage is in dire straits. Not only is the husband filial, he also forces his wife to obey the elderly unconditionally. Their status is not as good as the pigs raised at home. After giving birth to a son with great difficulty, the wife thought that the parents-in-law would be soft-hearted for the sake of the child. Unexpectedly, the family forced his wife to work during the confinement period. The husband not only did not side with his wife, but also complained that his wife was not filial. Because the child did not take good care of his body and had no milk, he was hungry and malnourished and became sick. He wanted to go to the hospital for treatment, but the parents-in-law were unwilling to take a penny and asked the husband to collect money. He only blamed his wife for not being able to raise a child. At this moment, the wife finally woke up. Some people's hearts are naturally cold and can't be warmed up, so she resolutely took the child back to her parents' home and made up her mind to divorce. "
The handsome men and beautiful women at their table attracted a lot of attention. In addition, since they were sitting close to each other, Gu Mingyue's voice was neither too loud nor too low, which was loud enough for people around to hear.
Therefore, before Lu Xue could say anything, a bald man at the next table couldn't help but interrupt and said, "I know about this. If you ask me, this woman was born in a good era. If she were in ancient times, she should be thrown into a pig cage for being unfilial."
Gu Mingyue asked in an inexplicable tone, "Oh? Are you and that husband from the same village or are you a relative?"
The bald man thought his words resonated with the beautiful woman, and he pretended to explain, "We are from the same village and have known each other since childhood. The old man in that family is over 60 and still has to work in the fields to farm and take care of the family's food, drink, defecation and urination. It's really not easy. Relatives are connected by bones and tendons. Not to mention that they have not separated, even if they have separated, they have to help each other. Who works more and who works less, what does it matter. I think that woman is an ungrateful person. After all, she is an outsider. Real family members will not care so much. Is it interesting?"
"Of course it's interesting!" Gu Mingyue said in a resounding voice, "His parents are tired because their children are incompetent and useless, making the old people have to work hard at such an old age. It's not because they got married that they are tired. Before that, they were dragged down by a bunch of unfilial descendants and could not live or die. I hope you can understand this cause and effect relationship. Besides, when you need someone, you say you are a family. When you are not satisfied, you bring up your status. Oh, so you are ready to trick the girl into working like a cow and a horse for a lifetime just for a few dollars of betrothal money. Isn't that a bit too shameless. Now that she has come to her senses and doesn't want to be fooled and ordered around, it's also because you can't support her. What are you supporting? When she was young, she was raised by her parents, and when she grew up, she has to support herself. I'm afraid you raised an abacus bead that has become a spirit."
The people around couldn't help laughing when they heard this. The bald man got angry and said, "When a woman marries a chicken, she follows the chicken; when a woman marries a dog, she follows the dog. Once a woman gets married, she belongs to the man's family and has to take his surname. She must fulfill her duties as a wife. If you say that, the wives of other families will follow suit and not do housework. Then, are we men earning money to support the family just to marry a ancestor to support us?"
"Come on, stop flattering yourself. How much do you make a month? Why are you so arrogant to me? I can guess it without you telling me. You are wearing an old work uniform, an old style from the machinery factory. You are so worn out at your age. You must be a security guard or a boiler operator. You look like a rat. It would damage the image of the factory if you were to be at the door. So you are most likely a boiler operator. There are three of us for a meal, and each of us only has a bowl of plain noodles. You are still shamelessly talking to me. How much do you have in your pocket? Let alone thirty, if you have three, I will kowtow to you and apologize. Do you dare to take it out and let everyone help count it?"
The bald man was extremely embarrassed. He indeed had less than two dollars left after finishing his noodles, but the onlookers started to make a fuss and urged the man to take out his pocket to verify.
Gu Mingyue would never admit that she just knew about their conversation by accident, and continued to sarcastically say, "Besides, when it comes to supporting a family, don't think you are so great. We women can take over your work. I dare say that you can't do any housework without a woman. Have you ever washed dishes or cooked at home? Do you know how to take care of children? Can you do housework? And, most importantly, can you give birth to a child?"
The bald man said angrily, "Why would I need to know these things to find a woman?"
Gu Mingyue snorted and said disdainfully, "Finally you're telling the truth, aren't you! You want women to carry on the family line, you want women to do housework, you want women to support the whole family, and then you turn around and say that the family is supported by you, you boss them around and act bossy! With the little money you earn, you can't even afford a bowl of shredded pork noodles, how can you support the family? If you care about your wife, you won't say such heartless words. A woman's willingness to give birth to children for you is a favor, not a duty. Without you, they can still live smoothly, but with you, they have to go through hardships. As a husband, not only are you not grateful, you also accuse them of not being able to raise them well. I think the real ungrateful person is you who is both a boss and a scoundrel."
The bald man shouted guiltily, "That's not what I meant!"
"That's what you think." Gu Mingyue mocked him. "You were quite talkative just now, weren't you fighting for the foolishly filial man? How come you can't pretend anymore after I exposed your thoughts? You just want to use other people's affairs as an excuse to cover up your dirty thoughts and assimilate your wife. I'm telling you, peaceful liberation, women's freedom, no one can influence the will of female comrades, especially those dogs, men, and people who want to find free babysitters!"
The bald man was furious and stood up suddenly, ready to attack. Someone at the same table suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, grabbed the man, and said with an apologetic smile, "You are Comrade Gu Mingyue, right? My co-worker doesn't know how to talk, so don't argue with him."
Hearing this name, the impotent and furious man seemed to have a basin of ice water poured over his head. He instantly sobered up and became timid for a moment...
