Chapter 353: National Conditions
Three days later, after careful consideration, the school flower decided to go to the hospital with Hiroki Ishihara to get rid of the child in her belly.
Her move is very incomprehensible to people who don't understand Japan's national conditions, and they feel that the other party has made a wrong decision.
Actually, it doesn't have to be that way. Japan not only has a tradition of primogeniture, but also a winner-takes-all tradition.
In the past, at the level of a non-rich or noble family, once the eldest son was unable to take on a big responsibility, then he would be "exiled", and he would generally be forced to become a monk.
If the eldest son is fully capable of inheriting the family business, then basically everything is his. Before the inheritance, the parents would give the rest of the sons separate gifts when they reached adulthood, that is, give them a sum of money to live outside the home alone.
As for the daughters, they will naturally marry them off one by one. If both parents are dead, the eldest son or the son who inherits the family business has the obligation and responsibility to marry off his sister or sister one by one.
At the level of the common people, the eldest son has the responsibility and obligation to provide for his parents in old age. All the property left by the parents belongs to them.
The rest of the children are at best able to get a little bit, which is nothing more than some things from the time of their parents' death, which can be regarded as a memory. The most valuable thing is gold and silver jewelry.
When did Japan's primogeniture system begin to collapse? That is, in the seventies and eighties of the last century, the Japanese economy rose in an all-round way, especially in the economic heyday of the eighties, especially in the economic bubble stage.
Why is this happening? The price of land and housing prices have caused the children of ordinary families to completely reach the point where they cannot afford it at all.
For young people at that time, buying a house was also a distant thing. If the woman still has to ask for a house before getting married, the down payment alone will be completely stumped.
Even if you rent a house, it is expensive on top of the rent. What's more, landlords don't sign long-term leases with tenants, so it's not uncommon for rents to rise once every three to five months, or even once a month.
As a result, ordinary Japanese families with many children can only hit their parents with their ideas. Why do the older generation of Japanese have land and houses?
One of the people to whom this should be thanked most is MacArthur. During his reign in Japan, he carried out the Japanese version of land reform.
At that time, Japanese peasants were given an average of about 15 acres of land. Japan, which has been completely defeated and is almost in ruins, does not see the high value of these lands for the time being.
Today, Setagaya Ward, one of the wealthy areas sought after by many Japanese people, was all rural agricultural land at that time.
As time passed, as Japan's economy recovered and rose, large-scale urbanization began. Among the beneficiaries are many farmers.
In order to get these rich peasants to deposit the money from the sale of their land in their banks, some banks even took the initiative to give gifts to their homes, lobby, and even help with rice planting.
What's more, there are male bank clerks who become sons-in-law. Not an exaggeration, but a reality. Toyoko Yamazaki's "Gorgeous Family" has related scenes.
The background is that in 1970, various constructions in Osaka before the World Expo allowed some farmers to become rich.
Housing prices are high, and young Japanese people can't afford them on their own, so they can only hope for their parents. At that time, there were not a few young Japanese people who were financed by their parents to buy a house.
Once the parents died, there were also many direct fights between siblings at that time. The relevant laws in Japan at that time stated that they all had the right of inheritance.
However, one of the long-established folk achievements of Japan is the primogeniture system. The eldest son will say that his parents are taken care of by his family, and his younger siblings have never done anything.
This is going to be a penny and running back. Even if it makes everyone go to court, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs. The main point is that there is too much money, and there are no people who are not greedy.
Japan's primogeniture system began to collapse among the common people. As for the wealthy, they know the law better, understand human nature better, and in order to avoid internal friction to the greatest extent, they will naturally make all kinds of preparations in advance.
After thinking about it, the school flower continued to follow Hiroki Ishihara, that is, he was gambling. For her, this win is not only not big, but also very small.
First of all, she has already figured out one thing, that is, the Ishihara family will never approve of the marriage between herself and Ishihara Hiroki.
Secondly, even if the Ishihara family does not drive Ishihara Hiroki out of the house directly, they will sanction him financially. Hiroki Ishihara himself doesn't have any property in his name.
The little salary he earns is far from enough for him to spend. This is the source of his high consumption, or the money given by the family. If Hiroki Ishihara doesn't have any money, what will he give himself to spend?
In the end, Hiroki Ishihara said so cleverly in front of him, and it may not be really for love and children.
It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and from simplicity to luxury, she still understands the truth. Even if she follows him to live a hard life, how long can she last?
Ishihara Hiroki can't hold on anymore, and he can abandon his wife and children and run back to Ishihara's house to continue to be his young master. What about yourself? What about children?
From beginning to end, neither he nor his children were recognized by the Ishihara family. Why would the Ishihara family come up with extra money to support them? At that time, he will be completely empty.
The school flower knows that if the first family doesn't eat well, then the second family's food will be even worse. A woman who has been divorced and has given birth to children, has no education, does not have a formal job, is not young, and wants to marry a good family, the probability is not to say no, and it is pitiful to be small.
As long as there is a decent job, a stable income, an education, and a man with a good background, who would marry a woman like himself in the first marriage?
Even such a second-married or third-married man would not marry a woman like her, after all, others are not completely out of choice.
Divorced men who don't have children are even more popular. Especially those young unmarried women in the society who are in dire straits, they are still waiting to save one or two!
Even if the school flower has a lot of regrets in her heart, she still feels that breaking up with Hiroki Ishihara and starting a new life again will not be better than really going to a miserable step and not going back.
What's more, there are few contemporary girls who do not have an abortion. Among them, there are also many girls who have had three or five abortions, which is not surprising at all. As a result, the burden in her heart is much smaller.
