Chapter 323: Chapter 225: Foundation Signing Ceremony! Starting to Procure Laboratory Instruments

"You could also say he took care of her for her entire life."

"Judging by her tone, do you believe for a second that she’s ever served anyone?"

"The ugliest thing you can say in a marriage is that you’re ’serving’ someone. Is the home not hers too? If she didn’t want to do any work, she should have found a rich guy from the start. Or maybe the rich guys just weren’t interested?"

"You’re teaching people to be malicious. Who doesn’t live their lives with a bit of tolerance? Marriage is supposed to be a partnership, isn’t it? Has your husband never taken care of you?"

"She only talks about how she served her old man, but did he not provide for her? Did she prop up the entire household on her own?"

"Why do men work so hard? It’s so their families don’t have to. You can’t only focus on your own contributions and be blind to the hard work of others."

...

Evidently, in her friends’ group chat, all the unmarried, independent, older women—the so-called "leftover women"—were on Grandma’s side.

As Feng Xingyun read the article and its many comments, her thoughts immediately turned to her own marriage.

’What kind of person is my husband? A bit of a chauvinist, sure.’

’But throughout our marriage, he’s always been the one working hard to support our family.’

’Whenever he has time, he cooks for me and helps out with some of the chores.’

’He’s a carpenter, so some days he’s swamped with work, and other days he has none. During those slow times, he’ll even set up a street stall to earn some extra money.’

Feng Xingyun had always felt that her husband worked very hard and didn’t have it easy.

Her husband had told her that he was well aware of her contributions to the family and the sacrifice of her career to be a full-time mom.

He’d said the best he could do in return was to earn as much money as possible.

’Thinking about it now, Grandma’s words were a bit extreme.’

’In an ordinary family like hers, maybe the husband and wife simply had a division of labor.’

’The man earns money for the family, and the woman runs the household. Each has their own struggles and heartaches. Besides, the housework isn’t done just for the husband, and the meals aren’t cooked only for him.’

’It’s like how I ask him for living expenses and gifts, and he always obliges.’

’In return, washing his clothes, changing the sheets, cleaning the house, and cooking for him... that brings me happiness, too.’

Feng Xingyun had just finished leaving a comment with her thoughts on the article.

After closing the tab, she ordered a milk tea for herself.

Just then, the living expenses from Tan Xin came through on her Xunxin app.

"Honey, I’ve already picked out your birthday present. Just wait for it to arrive~"

"I’m a little busy today, so I might not be able to reply for a while."

Feng Xingyun accepted the transfer and replied, "Thank you, honey!"

"You work so hard, honey~"

Over time, by saving a little from the monthly living expenses, Feng Xingyun had managed to put away nearly twenty thousand yuan.

’When the end of the year comes, I’ll buy a gift for my husband, and I’ll divide the rest of the money into two red envelopes for our parents.’

Their household expenses were high, so this was all the money Feng Xingyun had managed to scrimp and save.

She rarely treated herself to milk tea, usually only ordering a cup after her husband sent the living expenses, just for a little taste of sweetness.

’Perhaps this was just life for men and women in so many ordinary families.’

’Finding a little joy amidst the hardship.’

At the hospital, Wu Ting and Dr. Deng finished their examination of Tan Xin. They formulated a surgical plan that involved amputation, bone trimming, and suturing.

Before the surgery, Wu Ting confirmed everything with Tan Xin one last time.

"Director Wu, I’m sure."

To keep his wife from finding out and trying to stop him, Tan Xin planned to wait until after the surgery was finished before telling her and asking her to come to the hospital.

After Tan Xin signed the consent form, Wu Ting and Dr. Deng scheduled his surgery.

Faced with this situation, Wu Ting was at a bit of a loss for words. Looking at the man, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

Only after the surgery was over and he was out of the operating room did Tan Xin call his wife.

Tan Xin pleaded once more with his attending physician, Dr. Yasui:

"Dr. An, please, don’t tell my wife. Just say the amputation was absolutely necessary!"
