"Negotiate in advance?" Zheng Duoduo asked helplessly: "How to negotiate? After the child was born, I left it with my mother. She is very professional, and I didn't dare to negotiate with her not to go to work."
Cheng Huanran was a little embarrassed and coughed: "Some men instinctively believe that it is the mother's responsibility to take care of the children. Correspondingly, they believe that it is best for women to quit their jobs and take care of their children and family."
"Shouldn't it be?" Zheng Duoduo couldn't help but ask: "This society is originally a patriarchal society. Men make money to support the family, and women take care of the family. It has been like this for hundreds - no, thousands of years. It's not that I don't agree with her going
I want her to take care of her children, be healthy, and then pursue her career. I am not the kind of pedantic man who thinks that women can only stay at home to support their husbands and raise children. I don’t dare to think so at all. Correspondingly
, I very much support her work.”
Cheng Huanran touched his nose and whispered: "If you have such an idea, maybe Xiao Tong can't stand it."
"She always thinks that I look down on her and look down on her." Zheng Duoduo frowned and said: "I don't know where she got the idea from! It's so weird! Why would I marry a woman who I look down on? I'm not
Men’s rights!”
Cheng Huanran thought for a while and said, "Maybe Xiao Tong's idea is a little extreme."
"More than extreme!" Zheng Duoduo snorted coldly: "It's almost like crazy! I asked her to resign temporarily to take care of the children, and she almost collapsed, saying that her career was very important to her. What? The children are not important?
Family is not important? Sometimes I really don’t understand. The family is not poor. They live in a big house and drive a luxury car. There is no reason for her to work hard to support the family. Is this the case? "
"Your lack of understanding makes her think you look down on her?" Xue Ling asked.
Zheng Duoduo nodded: "Yes! She thinks that I am denying her ability and future by thinking this way, and does not understand her and respect her at all."
Cheng Huanran and Xue Ling looked at each other and felt that this problem was very troublesome.
Zheng Duoduo became angry and said angrily: "I don't know what she was thinking! When a family encounters a problem, we don't want to solve it together. I just suggested that she resign, and she immediately went crazy. I was just discussing it."
, it’s not like that - is it possible for me to resign? How many times more do I earn than she does, has she considered it? To ask her to resign is to disrespect her and understand her! What about me resigning? Is it the greatest consideration for her? If I resign
, can I scold her for not understanding or respecting me? Isn’t it the same truth? Why doesn’t she put herself in my shoes?”
Xue Ling said helplessly: "If we could all put ourselves in each other's shoes, how could we have fallen to this point?"
Zheng Duoduo's eyes widened: "No - why didn't I think about her? If I hadn't thought about her, I would have - long ago - disagreed with her work."
"Not enough." Cheng Huanran explained: "Maybe he didn't think enough about it, so Xiao Tong is also angry with you."
Zheng Duoduo snorted: "I'm still angry with her!"
"Then what?" Xue Ling asked back: "Has the problem been solved? You are angry with her, she is angry with you, you are angry with each other and blame each other, and then there are all kinds of internal conflicts - is the child's illness cured? Huh?"
Zheng Duoduo lowered his eyes, unable to find the words to answer.
Cheng Huanran couldn't help but comfort him: "It's all a moment of anger. When we quarrel and lose our temper, we only say angry words and do countless things."
"She said she wants a divorce and the child belongs to me." Zheng Duoduo said angrily: "If she wants to divorce, let her come! I'm not afraid at all! The child belongs to me, that's the best! I don't believe I can't take care of the child.
! Since she thinks that I and the child are a drag on her, then let her do as she pleases! She can go wherever she falls in love with, leave as soon as she falls in love, and work hard on her career if she leaves!"
"What are you talking about?" Cheng Huanran glared at him and said, "Don't argue when you are angry! When you two were alone, you couldn't take good care of Xiao Zheng. Now that you are alone, you can
Can you take care of it? Are you still able to do it with ease? Then why did you switch to working from home? Huh?"
Zheng Duoduo was speechless and couldn't answer at all.
Cheng Huanran explained: "If my mother and the others are in China and help you occasionally, or the children stay with us for a few days, it will be fine. But my grandparents have not been able to come back, so my mother and my father can only focus on
If you fall abroad, you won't be able to live in Xinyuan forever. Even if you have a nanny, you can't completely rest assured, right? Don't act on impulse! Don't say that in the future, you will regret it every time you turn around!"
Zheng Duoduo leaned back on the chair as if he was tired, and closed his eyes tiredly.
"Sister Ling, I've been missing my uncle a lot lately... I really miss him. When will you come back?"
Xue Ling glanced at him and explained: "If the epidemic doesn't disappear, it's likely that you won't be able to come back. You've always been looking for my dad when you were wronged since you were a child. Even now that you're a father yourself, you still can't change this habit."
Zheng Duoduo looked at Xue Ling pleadingly and whispered: "Sister Ling, don't let me step back, okay?"
"No one is asking you to retreat." Xue Ling shook his head: "It's just that the child's health is more important now. You must take good care of the child first."
She has never had such an idea, not before and not now. The sudden mention just now frightened this workaholic!
Zheng Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "I have contacted a well-known psychiatrist, but unfortunately her appointment has been filled up in the past half month. I still made an appointment in three weeks, and planned to take Xiaoxin to see him then.
one look."
Cheng Huanran thought for a while and reminded: "Based on what you said just now, I also think that the child should have a psychological problem, not a physical problem. However, these are just our guesses. It is better to find a regular and professional psychologist."
"He is still so young..." Xue Ling was a little in disbelief: "Is it because Sister Achun suddenly disappeared and the children can't accept it... Or maybe you didn't care enough for him?"
Zheng Duoduo lowered his head in guilt and sighed: "They should all be there. In short, after returning to the imperial capital from Rongcheng, he became less active and less talkative. We basically take turns playing with him on weekends."
"Does the child have no playmates?" Xue Ling frowned and asked: "The villa community you live in has just been developed and there are not many residents. Is it because there are no playmates?"
They originally lived near Xinyuan, and Xinzhi helped pay for the courtyard house they bought.
Unexpectedly, it was too far for Xiao Tong to go to work, so he moved to a newly developed villa in the suburbs.
As far as Xue Ling knows, most of the people who bought that building were investors, and there shouldn't be that many residents in the short term.
Last year, she heard Sister Achun say that the community was new, but everywhere was empty, there were very few neighbors, and there was no popularity inside or outside.
