Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s
Chapter 435: Financial Independence Leads to the Right to Speak
Because of Chu's father's work, he cares about Chu's father more than his own son.
Although the old lady prepared a generous dowry for her daughter, she always insisted that her daughter have a formal job so that she could have some say.
However, this made Nan Wanwu feel that her salary was more than enough.
In the future, except for the house I live in now, I will donate all my dowry to Chu's father and let him use it to contribute to the country.
The old lady smiled and said, "The thing I regret least in my life is marrying concubines for your grandfather. If it weren't for those concubines, I wouldn't have had the excuse to start a business on my own, let alone the success I achieved later.
If it weren't for those concubines, even if your grandfather and I had loved each other all our lives, I would always be your grandfather's appendage because I wasn't financially independent. If a woman isn't financially independent, she won't have a say, and that wouldn't be true liberation."
Jiang Yanqiu suddenly remembered a popular saying in later generations: What are men? Get out of my way now and don’t delay me from making money.
But the old lady's words really hit the nail on the head. If women are not financially independent, they have no say, and this will remain the same even in later generations.
Women's liberation has been going on for so many years, but how many people have truly been liberated?
Just like that mistress, a college student of the new era has a high level of awareness.
She keeps saying that she wants to be a new-age woman, to be independent, and to be with someone for life.
But she just talked about it, she didn't work hard at all and just wanted to take shortcuts.
From the moment she tried to please the old man, she knew that it would be impossible for her to be truly independent in her life.
Given the old man's character, if she really didn't want to, he wouldn't do anything to her.
Since she failed to destroy someone else's family, she became a mistress. With the help of the old man, she had her own business and thought that she had become independent.
How can a woman with her palms facing upwards be truly independent?
However, these also made her appetite grow bigger and bigger, and she felt that she could live well without the old man.
That's why she wanted to develop the industry in a hurry after she went to Hong Kong. She felt that she was very capable and wanted to achieve success overnight like before, to prove that she was no worse than men and that she could do without a man.
However, her entrepreneurship is just like her daily calls for women's liberation and independence, but she only talks about it with her lips and her palms are always facing up.
How can you gain anything without putting in any effort in business?
Jiang Yanqiu likes to chat with the old lady when she has nothing to do. The old lady is eighty years old and her memory is not very good, but she has a lot of things to say.
To be honest, although she traveled from the future, her thinking is not as open as the old lady's.
Ever since the old lady started her business, she and the old man have been living a AA-system married life, and it hasn't changed over the years. She is a true representative of new-age women.
When her marriage entered a period of confusion, she did not just think about holding on to the man, but chose to be financially independent.
Jiang Yanqiu still hasn't figured out this problem when Chu Tingnan handed her the passbook.
She accepted it without thinking and thought Chu Tingnan performed quite well.
The old lady didn't think so. She said, "When a man gives you his money, he's not doing you a favor. He's just throwing the responsibility of the family onto you. He's putting all the burden of household chores on you. He's acting like the boss and not taking care of anything. From now on, you'll have to take care of everything at home."
Chu Tingnan disagreed and said, "Grandma, you can't just kill a whole boat of people with one stick, right? I'm not that kind of person!"
The old lady said with a smile: "Go ask Yanqiu, if she took your money, and then wanted to use your money again in the future, would she use it directly without your consent? Would you be happy?
And your dad, when he asked your mom to give Yanqiu a thousand yuan to redeem that man's watch that day, did he ever think that your mom didn't have any money in her pocket? He didn't know how much the family's expenses were, he only knew that his money was with his wife and he had to ask her for everything.
Chu Tingnan was stunned for a moment. If Jiang Yanqiu used his money without saying a word, although he would not say anything, he would definitely feel uncomfortable in his heart.
The old lady didn’t give him a chance to reply: “Managing money is a heavy burden in itself. Whoever keeps it has an extra responsibility. Take your money.
Every time they want to use something, they have to think about whether they should spend your money, whether you will have any objections if they buy it, and they even dare not spend more of their own money.
If you are willing, you should shoulder the responsibilities of the family. Don't give the money directly to your wife. It would be better to buy her some gifts instead of throwing the money away and not caring about anything.
Also, we both work to earn money, but why do all the housework become women's, and then it becomes you who has to support the family?"
Chu Tingnan couldn't argue with the old lady and ran away.
The old lady waited until he left before saying, "Don't feel bad for him. Men, the better you treat them, the more they'll show off and forget their own limitations. But if your father didn't have a special job, I would have divorced him if he dared to do this."
Nan Wanwu just smiled at her old mother, but her heart was filled with sadness. Only her old mother knew the suffering she had endured over the years.
However, they also understand that if it weren't for the efforts of their men, they would have suffered even more.
You can not have it both ways!
In addition to marriage concepts, the old lady can talk about anything, including business, literature, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Jiang Yanqiu sometimes just listened because she didn't understand anything.
