Chapter 86: What Can I Do?
Yan Rushun stiffened his neck and said: "Oh, if you have a colleague gossiping, it is called communication, and it is called promotion? Now the scientific and technological means are very developed, and news, information, ideas, and trends, no matter what, can be seen and learned on the Internet." As long as I am willing to take the initiative to learn, I will not fall behind the times. β
Mother Yan was so anxious that her chest was tight.
Because of her son-in-law's presence, she endured it and said, "Don't be self-righteous! Look at how many women quit their jobs and go home, and after a few years they will not be able to find a job at all." β
Yan Rushun continued to argue with her: "Which eye do you see, or is there any authoritative statistics? No, right? I'll tell you, Mom, it's impossible." Our country is already at the end of the demographic dividend, and the further we go, the labor gap will only get bigger, not smaller. So, even if I stay at home full-time for a few years, it won't be difficult to find a job again. β
"The end of the demographic dividend!" Yan's mother sprayed her daughter's face spitting, "Don't you want to think about it, there were only a few hundred million people in our country before? Now we are 1.4 billion! You go to watch the news, every year college graduates are still worried about not finding a job, how expensive do you think you are?"
"There are more people now than before, but there are also many more jobs than before! I know what I'm capable of, and I believe that I won't starve to death no matter what. Don't you believe in the daughter you raised yourself?"
"Ouch, please, where did you get your confidence? Yes, you can find a job at any time, what kind of job is it?
Yan Rushun continued to refute: "Mom, don't engage in professional discrimination. Let me tell you, according to the law of the times, labor will only become more and more expensive in the future, and the income of manual laborers will increase significantly. Do you know how much people earn nowadays for building walls and painting small workers? Like me, I earn 10,000 yuan a month!"
"Then you're going to hit the wall and paint it?"
"I didn't say that. I just wanted to tell you that it won't be difficult to find a job to support yourself in the future. β
"When you are forty or fifty years old, go find a job and try to see if there is a unit to pick you up for the elderly!"
The two reacted very quickly, spoke at a flying speed, and the audience was seamlessly connected.
The mother and daughter are fighting like red-eyed cows, and their noses are about to hit each other, and they can't pull it.
Yan's father and Xin Weiyang both desperately pulled their wives and persuaded each other.
Xin Weiyang said: "Shun Shun, we have something to say, don't quarrel with my mother." β
Father Yan said: "Ning Jia, Shun Shun is pregnant, so I can't wait." Shun Shun is just discussing with you, and he hasn't really resigned, are you in such a hurry?"
Mother Yan came back to her senses, took a few deep breaths, took a sip of water, and said categorically: "Forget it, I won't fight with you about this matter." In short, don't think about resigning. With the child, we and your mother-in-law will go to work, and you should go to work after maternity leave. β
Yan Rushun was unconvinced: "Mom, the child really needs his mother's company in the first few years of birth." According to what I have seen in kindergartens, private schools and early education institutions, the children raised by their mothers are significantly more secure, not only healthier, but also more cheerful, which is very different from other children. β
Yan Mu Zhensheng asked, "You mean I can't bring it well?"
"That's not what I meant......"
"That's not what it means. If you give me the child, I promise to bring it healthy and healthy, and nothing will go wrong. β
Father Yan and Xin Weiyang sighed in unison: It's quarreling again, and I can't persuade it at all.
Yan Rushun desperately explained his thoughts: "But the child doesn't just need to eat and drink, it also needs to fully feel the mother's love, so that it will have a sense of security, and its brain can fully develop." Otherwise, look at what Sister Yan's son Xiao Wang is doing now......"
Mother Yan interrupted again impatiently: "Can't you give love to your child when you get off work? I can't give it love? Six adults in the family revolve around a child, will it still lack love?"
Yan Rushun argued loudly: "That's a different ......"
"What's the difference? You can do it, can't I do it? Even if I'm old and backward, you say what you want to do, just tell me, and I promise to do it." β
Yan Rushun was angry: "Mom, can you please listen to me first?" Leave the rest aside for the time being, you bring up the child, and the closest person to it in the future will be you, and there will be a gap between me and Wei Yang. This kind of problem can't be seen when I was a child, and when it comes to the rebellious period of youth, we don't listen to what we say, we just talk to us, we don't study well, we go clubbing in early love, and even take drugs and play games, even if I become the boss by that time and earn millions of net worth, what's the point?"
Yan's mother was laughed at by her daughter, and said "ha" heavily: "You are brought up by me, haven't you studied well since you were a child, are you clubbing in early love, or are you taking drugs and playing games?"
Yan Rushun's eyes were red, her brain blood surged, and she rushed out: "Yes, I didn't do those things, but do you know that your daughter almost committed suicide by jumping into the lake when she was in high school!"
Yan's father and mother were both shocked, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Xin Weiyang's voice was not good, but the words had been spoken, and it could not be taken back.
He had no choice but to play a round game: "Shun Shun, it's been so long, haven't you also taken it to heart?"
Father Yan asked in disbelief, "You still thought about suicide in high school, why didn't you tell us?"
Although Yan Rushun regretted it a little, he couldn't stop it when the words were already spoken.
Her eyes were red, and she choked up and said: "I told you, I said that I don't know what learning is for, whether it is worth the price of dignity for each of us, but you only told me to study hard and not to think nonsense." You never believed me. I was so desperate that I really wanted to die!"
Bang!
Mother Yan slapped the table, startling everyone.
She shouted angrily, "You want to threaten me with this?"
The truth that was easy to confide was vetoed by my mother in an arrogant way.
Yan Rushun trembled with anger: "How could I want to threaten you? I just wanted to tell you well, but you didn't say anything and blocked me back, and you didn't want to listen to me at all." Mom, I'm an adult, I know what I want, what I'm doing, can't I decide my life?"
Mother Yan was about to smoke on her head, she opened her mouth to say something, glanced at Xin Weiyang, and forced herself to hold her breath and said, "Yangyang, you don't have folic acid yet, can you please take a trip?"
Xin Weiyang hurriedly stood up, "Okay, I'll buy it now." β
"You don't have to buy it, go to the community and get it for free. β
"It doesn't matter, just buy it for a little money. β
Yan's mother emphasized: "If the community is good, use the community!"
He didn't know where the community was, so it was clear that he was going to teach his daughter a lesson.
Xin Weiyang glanced at his wife worriedly.
Yan Rushun had moisture in his eyes, but he bowed his head slightly.
He looked at her deeply, thinking that he must go and return quickly.
When her son-in-law went out, Yan's mother took a good look at her thoughts, tried her best to calm her tone and said, "Shun Shun, it's not that your mother is strict with you. You know, the economic base determines the superstructure. You have no income, you can only reach out and ask for money, others will look down on you, and when the time comes, they will drink you like a servant, can you stand it?"
Someone else?
Yan Rushun suppressed his anger and said, "Wei Yang is not such a person. Having studied abroad, he knows that stay-at-home mothers contribute no less than working mothers. Now I hire a part-time worker to do housework, and it is thousands a month, and then I ask a sister-in-law to take care of the children, and it is tens of thousands. You don't necessarily have to make that much money when you go to work. β
Yan's mother asked: "Yang Yang doesn't care, will your mother-in-law not care?"
Yan Rushun raised her head: "It's me who lives with Wei Yang, not with her." β
Marriage is a matter of two families, how can Xin's mother not get involved.
How naΓ―ve!
Father Yan couldn't help but help: "Shun Shun, what you said is not a matter at all, we can all do it, don't need a penny." β
"Dad, it's not about money. You didn't have the same requirements for children back then. You just need to pull us up, and now we must not only pull us big, but also bring us well. Yan Rushun explained bitterly, "You should know that today's children have entrance exams from kindergarten, and the school district housing in every city is sky-high, and the cost of training classes is getting higher and higher, and an early education class is often twenty or thirty thousand a year." If the child's affairs are not planned and implemented from the beginning, it will be too late at the end. β
Yan's mother said: "I told you, what do you think you need to do, we can do what you say." If you don't have to worry, you can also accompany your children when you come back from work. When you were a child, we didn't have the help of the elderly, didn't we also pull you up?"
She said they could do it? How many kindergarten teachers haven't done it yet.
How naΓ―ve!
couldn't say this directly, Yan Rushun could only switch an angle: "Mom, you worked from 9 to 5 every day at that time, and you hardly worked overtime, so you could arrange time to accompany your children after work." But what about us, Wei Yang won't talk about it, I'm busy and work overtime for two or three hundred days a year. And when I work overtime, I don't know when I will be able to go back, how can you let me accompany the child?"
Yan's father and mother Mu Ran glanced at each other, probably no one expected their daughter to be so insistent on this issue, and so difficult.
Yan Mu simply stopped going around in circles, knocked on the table and said, "I don't talk so much nonsense with you." Everything has to prepare for the worst, let me ask you, if you give birth to a child and resign from your job, and you don't have a penny of income, but Yang Yang suddenly wants to divorce you, you have a monthly payment to pay, and you have a child waiting to be fed, and you can't find a job for a while, what will you do at that time?"
Here it is, the question finally comes.
In this world, no one dares to guarantee that people's hearts will remain unchanged.
Even the little lovers who mix oil in honey have suddenly tore their faces, even the newlywed young couples have divorced the next day, even honest men have secretly eaten and divorced their wives, and even good wives who have worked hard to raise children for the elderly are inevitably ungrateful by their husbands.
Yan Rushun really didn't dare to say that she and Xin Weiyang would definitely love each other for a lifetime and be together for a hundred years.
To put it bluntly, people who are not financially independent really do not have the confidence to speak hard.
In this world, people are impetuous, and they are untrustworthy.
No matter how rich a man is, a woman will not dare to lose the foundation of her independence.
That's why the world is so unoptimistic about stay-at-home mothers.
It's not that she doesn't know this reality, but she has worked hard but has no results, what can she do?
