Chapter 92 Comparison
"I'm a good person, I'll listen to anything you say, except this, this is really not okay. Aren't you afraid of looking bad? How can you do that? It's so embarrassing."
Qin Huairu was very unwilling, and she also had her own bottom line. Women are unable to accept the embarrassing positions proposed by Jia Dongjin.
Jia Dongjin looked dejected. Qin Huairu's eyes flickered. She glared at the young man and lowered her head, softly promising, "We'll see how you perform. We'll talk again in three months."
She loved the younger man deeply and was willing to do anything for him, even abandoning her principles.
When Qin Huairu was with Jia Dongjin in private, she was very relaxed and talked a lot, which amazed Jia Dongjin. A woman in private is completely different from her quiet and reserved public self.
Jia Dongjin knew that the woman in private was the real Qin Huairu.
Her so-called taciturnity was merely a reflection of her lively nature, suppressed by the burdens of life. This feeling saddened him, and he couldn't help but want to be kind to this woman, for which he often received disdain from Madam Jia.
"My dear wife, you're so wonderful! You're beautiful and you never lied to me!"
Seizing the opportunity, Jia Dongjin quickly finalized the unlocking arrangements.
The newlyweds were deeply in love, whispering sweet nothings to each other, and sparks finally flew between them.
At the critical moment, Jia Dongjin hit the brakes.
He brought his daughter, Xiaodang, over and seriously suggested that Wang Dama's daughter-in-law, Guihua, help with breastfeeding. "I can't get formula right now, so I plan to give Guihua five yuan and five catties of crucian carp every month, and try to breastfeed Xiaodang until she is ten months old before weaning her. This will be better for the child's health."
"You're the one who's lying, you big liar."
Qin Huairu was so angry that the granary seemed about to explode. Her eyes were blazing with fury as she forcefully pinched the smirking liar.
"Oh dear, you dare to murder the head of the family? Go easy on me."
The murders continued, but the intensity suddenly decreased, making Jia Dongjin feel comfortable. He decided to introduce Dongjin brand SPA, which was actually just massage.
Qin Huairu had no objections. She sat on Jia Dongjin's lap, massaging the young man's back repeatedly, while telling herself over and over again, "This is my young man, my man, Qin Huairu's man. No one can take him away, not even Zhang Qin."
The woman was preoccupied with her thoughts, completely unaware that the man was reading a storybook and had already read about Li Ping'er's death, lamenting that the only woman with any humanity had met her demise. The author, Xiaoxiaosheng, was laying the groundwork and had no intention of leaving the murderer, Pan Jinlian, any chance of survival.
Li Ping'er is the only woman in the book who does not rely on Ximen Qing for survival.
She was Hua Zixu's woman. After her husband died, she moved her wealth to Ximen's mansion. Ximen Qing's rise to power and official position was inseparable from Li Ping'er's financial support.
The only mistake this woman made was being too kind. She didn't retaliate against Pan Jinlian's heinous acts, which ultimately cost her and her child their lives.
Li Ping'er was the only woman who won Ximen Qing's love. After her death, Pan Jinlian completely lost favor, and Ximen Qing began to live a life of debauchery, embarking on a path of no return of playing with women.
"Yes, one can't be too kind, nor can one be greedy for beauty. It's clearly written in the books, otherwise, it's death!"
Thinking back to when he first arrived, he had secretly coveted the harem of Yu Lilouzi and He Yushui. At this moment, Jia Dongjin felt as if he had been enlightened, and he drooled with regret.
He was once again certain that the worldview he had cultivated in his previous life was correct: he himself was a human being, and he should treat others as human beings as well!
The pursuit of progress is simply to improve one's life, not to become superior to others. One must never bully or manipulate others.
The old saying, "No pain, no gain," is fundamentally wrong, while the jokes circulating online in the past do have some truth to them.
The saying "to endure the bitterest of hardships" means not treating oneself as a human being; the saying "to aspire to be superior to others" means not treating others as human beings.
The logic is too simple: if you become someone superior, who will be your subordinate? Who will be willing to let you ride on their back?
The saying "Are emperors and generals born with a special destiny?" is nothing more than wanting to be superior to others. The reason why history has been in a vicious cycle for thousands of years is nothing more than a farce in which people take turns being superior. Jia Dongjin suddenly realized this.
Jia Dongjin had considered Qin Huairu's words. When the woman broke in at night, she made it clear that she wanted to secretly become his concubine so as not to interfere with his marriage to Zhang Qin.
At the time, Jia Dongjin knew from his intuition that this was wrong, and that without human ethics, this action was no different from that of a beast.
Jia Dongjin's worldview and values do not allow him to do this, not even to think about it, otherwise he would not be able to face his own heart.
Even if he continues to support Qin Huairu, he can't know how Banggeng and Xiaodang will view him when they grow up, because he is no different from He Yuzhu in the original drama, or even worse than He Yuzhu, at least He Yuzhu married Qin Huairu.
One's position is determined by one's circumstances. From the moment he transmigrated, it was destined that Jia Dongjin would marry Qin Huairu, unless Qin Huairu could find another partner.
When people are starving, survival takes precedence over emotions, and Jia Zhangshi's considerations are absolutely correct.
Love is a luxury for the Jia family. What makes Jia Dongjin happy is that the woman is smart enough that they have developed feelings for each other, leaving him with no regrets. In the future, he only needs to quietly enjoy a happy life with his family within his means, just like the protagonist in "Parents' Love".
For the first time since his transmigration, Jia Dongjin clearly defined his direction in life.
"What wishful thinking are you having?"
Qin Huairu was exhausted. While resting, she noticed the man's unusual behavior and quickly comforted him, "It'll be over soon, three months will be up in a minute. You have to hang in there; perseverance is victory!"
Ma Quansheng's home in the side room of the central courtyard.
"I'm very tired. The doctor said it's not good for the first three months."
Zhang Qin was resentful and refused her husband's advances.
She lay down on her side, but a strange restlessness made it difficult for Zhang Qin to fall asleep.
After breaking up with Jia Dongjin, Wang the matchmaker took the initiative to introduce Ma Quansheng, a technician from a rural background. The young man was a vocational school graduate and a cadre. He was gentle and refined, which matched the girl's endless fantasies.
Except for Zhang Qin's father, who had some reservations about Ma Quansheng's rural background, everyone else thought highly of this mild-mannered young man with a promising future, and Zhang Qin was also fond of him.
Because they didn't have a house, the two got married at Zhang Qin's house. Ma Quansheng's parents had some complaints about this, as the old man was worried that his son had become a live-in son-in-law.
Zhang Qin's house was not big; in fact, at that time, housing was not spacious for ordinary families.
Since the cadre housing project was out of the question, Ma Quansheng chose to live in a bungalow after becoming pregnant, taking into account the child's growth.
When Zhang Qin found out, she was very reluctant, but she couldn't say it outright. In the end, by some strange twist of fate, Ma Quansheng decided on courtyard house number 95.
"If you are not well, then I am happy."
Women are all the same; they only feel at ease when they know their ex is doing badly.
Zhang Qin was no exception; she married a cadre, whose status was much higher than that of an electrician. Deep down, she felt a sense of pride. When she went to thank the matchmaker, Wang, she also received news of Jia Dongjin's marriage to Qin Huairu.
Zhang Qin didn't force Ma Quansheng to change houses because she wanted to see how Jia Dongjin and Qin Huairu were doing. But after comparing, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
When they first met, Zhang Qin had seen Qin Huairu, who was meek and submissive. Now, Qin Huairu was radiant, her eyes filled with joy, and it was clear to everyone that she was living a comfortable life. Jia Dongjin, on the other hand, was the same as before, with no change.
Women love to compare themselves to each other. Both couples are dual-income families. Zhang Qin's family earns less, while Qin Huairu's family earns slightly more, but has a heavier burden. On the surface, the economic gap between the two families is not significant.
But the actual gap was clear to Zhang Qin.
Qin Huairu has two children, but with the help of Jia Zhangshi and the help of Guihua's sister-in-law in the backyard to take care of Xiaodang, her life is much more comfortable and carefree than Zhang Qin's.
For example, Qin Huairu could often go out for walks with Jia Dongjin, the couple were always together, and Qin Huairu could even eat Zhang Qin's favorite cherries.
"Ma Quansheng, you're supposed to be a cadre, yet you're living like this, having nothing you need."
Lacking both spiritual and material support from his opponent, Ma Quansheng's young wife finally lost her temper and lashed out for the first time. Feeling sorry for his wife, Ma Quansheng could only be careful and give in with a smile.
"Isn't it great? Let's go shopping for clothes next weekend. You liked that dress, and I think it's nice too."
Women are always happy when they hear they can buy a dress. Zhang Qin smiled as she thought of Qin Huairu, who always wore work clothes and had never worn a dress.
"Huai Ru, slow down, be careful not to fall, don't walk so fast!"
In the afterglow of summer, a man sat on a pole with a stick on his shoulder, and a woman pushed a small cart; everything was natural and ordinary.
"Huai Ru, come home for dinner."
Judging that Madam Jia Zhang had already prepared dinner, Jia Dongjin asked Qin Huairu to take Xiaodang home for dinner, while he moved the stroller to the veranda.
This scene, a familiar sight to the people of the courtyard, stirred up Zhang Qin's resentment. Seeing the woman wearing a newly bought shirt, she angrily changed out of her newly bought dress.
Zhang Qin reflected on herself. She was tired after a long day at work, and when she got home she still had to take care of her husband, doing all the washing and cleaning. She had been pampered since childhood, and looking at her increasingly rough hands, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Xiaoqin, what's wrong?"
The young wife sat on the kang in a daze. Ma Quansheng was puzzled. He couldn't understand why Zhang Qin was still depressed after spending nearly 20 yuan on the dress.
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. Look at my hands, they're all rough, and I feel exhausted from walking," Zhang Qin explained casually.
"It's probably the baby in your belly making you restless. I'll do the dishes from now on, and you can rest when you're tired. Leave everything to me. Once we've saved up a bit more, we'll buy a bicycle."
"I can't give it to you; I can't eat the food you cook."
Thinking of Ma Quansheng's terrible cooking skills, Zhang Qin had no choice but to get off the kang (a heated brick bed) and cook. After becoming pregnant, Zhang Qin had a big appetite and eating was the priority, so she didn't even have time to buy a bicycle.
Zhang Qin was cooking when she suddenly heard Jia Dongjin talking outside the window. She peeked out and saw Qin Huairu holding Xiao Dang, chatting and laughing with Jia Dongjin on the veranda. Jia Dongjin even took a small watermelon out from under the stroller. A nameless anger rose in her heart, and she cut her hand on the spot.
"Oh no, you're bleeding!"
Ma Quansheng hurriedly rummaged through drawers and cabinets, found a clean strip of cloth, and wrapped Zhang Qin up tightly.
"Be gentle, it's wrapped too tightly, it hurts my hands."
After Ma Quansheng corrected it, Zhang Qin immediately complained, "This is too loose. You need to tighten it a bit."
Seeing his wife's finger bleeding, Ma Quansheng had no choice but to repackage it again.
"Quansheng, I want to eat watermelon. The Jia family has watermelons to eat."
After Ma Quansheng was tied up, Zhang Qin made a new request.
Where can I buy watermelons now?
Seeing Ma Quansheng's troubled expression, Zhang Qin didn't say anything, but just touched her belly.
"Xiaoqin, I'll go buy it right away."
The women used their sons to control the men, leaving Ma Qianbu helpless.
