Li Qingcang disagreed as long as Li Xing was the one who brought up the idea of remarrying.
He could get divorced or remarry if he wanted to.
Marriage was not something to be taken lightly! Couldn’t he do whatever he wanted?
What’s more, Wu Tong had a like-minded man in pursuit of her now. He was another engineer who would easily understand Wu Tong’s willingness to risk her life for her career. Li Xing was not that type of man.
Li Xing said, “Why? Is this because I tried to talk Tianxin into leaving you? Is this your way of getting back at me?”
!!Li Xing knew his son very well. He meant what he said.
His son held a grudge. He seemed to have offended his son before!
Li Qingcang stared at the distant scenery and said, “No. Dad, your career is a career, and so is my mother’s career. Are you sure you can give up yours if you remarry my mother? If not, then do you want my mom to throw away her career again for your sake? You know better than anyone else how much my mother had done for this family over the years. My mother finally got her career back, and I don’t want to take that away from her. That’s what I think.”
Li Xing thought about it. He did not come this far to give up on his career. How could he possibly do that? He said, “Qingcang, most women give up their careers after getting married.”
According to the current statistics of the Empire, most women would gradually focus more on their families after they get married.
Li Qingcang remained calm as he replied, “That’s called moral coercion. Men and women are inherently independent individuals. I believe marriage is about making us better people and not giving up on our true selves. Maybe you should ask those women who gave up their careers for their families if they regret it.”
Without waiting for Li Xing’s answer, Li Qingcang continued, “Most men in the Empire take for granted the sacrifices that women make for their families and children. If a woman doesn’t want to, she will be criticized by society. Dad, did it ever occur to you that women also have lives of their own?”
“Some men think that it is a gift for a woman to be a full-time housewife at home. That’s why he comes home with a natural superiority complex over the woman. Does he pay the woman? Doesn’t a woman’s full-time work at the home count as work? A family’s contribution is not only the husband’s work and salary but also the wife’s work as a full-time housewife.”
“A full-time housewife has as much value as a working man. Dad, just because most Empire men feel that way doesn’t mean we should do the same. Instead, we should change this twisted societal belief and recognize the contribution of the wife and recognize that marriage is something that needs both partners to work together, not to force the woman to back down.”
When Li Xing thought that what his son said was very reasonable, he carefully recalled his marriage with Wu Tong. How did he change while he was married to Wu Tong?
At first, he felt that Wu Tong’s sacrifice for the family was worthy of respect.
