Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1427: Chapter 1428: Men and Women Are Unequal

Property declaration, something Cheng Su heard a lot about in her past life. Every official had to declare their assets. Of course, whether there was any funny business involved was unknown—after all, they said there was no right to privacy, but nobody’s family assets were ever really made public.

So when the declaration was required for Qi Taiguo and herself, Cheng Su had no objections and cooperated actively.

”Why on earth are we talking about declarations all of a sudden?” Cheng Su felt quite puzzled.

Qi Taiguo immediately thought of Dong Jun’s snake-like eyes and said, ”I reckon some people find me unpleasant to look at, think I’m an eyesore!”

Cheng Su raised an eyebrow and said, ”Declaration is fine. This way, those above will have a clear idea of your and my assets and won’t use this matter against us. You can also prove your innocence and shut those people’s mouths.”

”Sorry for tiring you.” Qi Taiguo was very grateful for her understanding and kissed her on the forehead. ”At this time, you should be calmly nurturing the fetus, but I’m causing a fuss with this matter.”

”Once the new and old lists are settled, everything will be over.” Cheng Su diverted his attention and started talking about Hualing and her husband.

”... Apparently, they’re on the move, most likely going to some profitable place for a few years, accumulating enough credentials before returning to a big unit to snag a director position. If they’re lucky, they might get a department-level position, and that’s a lifetime!”

Qi Taiguo suddenly realized, ”No wonder he looked so calm; he already has an escape plan.”

”Chen Shouwang is lucky. No wonder he went all out to pursue Hualing back then. The Yue family from the wife’s side is supportive, and that’s a form of assistance for him. Look, at critical moments, the wife’s side helps, and the escape path can be arranged comfortably!” Cheng Su said sourly, ”Despite doing something so scummy before, now he still gets to have it good. Such luck he has!”

Hearing her bitterness, Qi Taiguo laughed, ”Why do I sense such dissatisfaction in your tone?”

”I am dissatisfied; this also highlights the inequality between men and women. When women do such things, nine out of ten end up with no good outcome, being cursed by thousands and spat on by ten thousand. And men? Once it’s over, it’s forgotten, and life goes on as usual without any impact,” Cheng Su snorted.

”Well... the world is like this now, but things will get better in the future!” Qi Taiguo could only say.

Cheng Su shook her head and said rather sadly, ”Things will remain like this in the future. The traditions of our people have continued, inheriting the ancestor’s tradition of men having multiple wives as if it’s normal. But women don’t have that. Even in our time, it’s still particularly unfair.”

”Women have to be loyal, all-capable, able to give birth and raise children, cook well, and do housework, and still have a job. And men, they can come home and act like lords. If you complain, a man can shut you up with lines like ’You’re enjoying life at home, while I suffer outside.’

Qi Taiguo listened to her aggrieved rant and wiped the sweat from his brow, quickly saying, ”Don’t overthink things; I definitely won’t be like that, rest assured!”

”Of course, you can’t be like that. You must treat me well, consider me as a human being, as your partner, not just a reproduction tool and maid,” Cheng Su said with resentment.

”Yes, yes, you are my partner, my life’s support, my most important person, alright?”

”Humph, perfunctory!” Cheng Su spat at him, instructing him to peel an apple for her.
