Chapter 86: 071: Wanting a hundred sons is not a problems
Translator: 549690339
“Silly child, what are you thinking?” Ni Cuihua continued, “As women, it’s only natural for us to marry!”
Ni Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, “But why must a girl get married? Mom, don’t you see we are doing just fine without men now? Not only have we managed to survive, but we’re also living better than before! This just shows that men aren’t necessary at all!”
Ni Cuihua was momentarily speechless.
Because what Ni Yang said did make sense.
After pondering for a moment, Ni Cuihua answered, “But if you don’t get married and have children, who will take care of you when you’re old?”
Ni Cuihua, having not received an education, was narrow-minded and held a small worldview.
The confining notion that a woman’s purpose was to bear children was deeply ingrained in her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have previously felt guilty for being unable to produce a son.
Such misconceptions needed to be rectified.
Ni Yang looked up at Ni Cuihua and said seriously, “Mom, girls are not tools for carrying on the family line. Marriage and having children are not a necessity for every woman. The Chairman has said that men and women are now equal. As women of the new era, we must be independent and self-reliant, we can’t rely on men to survive.”
“Take yourself for example. If you hadn’t chosen to divorce back then, you surely know what your life would be like now.”
“Only when we become stronger ourselves, do we become truly strong!”
“Hence, what’s most important for us now is to work hard to make money, then go to high school, university, and broaden our horizons. We need to have the ability to live a good life ourselves and also to help others.”
“When we become millionaires one day, you’ll realize that not only can you have a son, but even if you want ten or a hundred sons, it won’t be a problem. And 1 promise, they will all be filial.”
“Times have changed, and we women can hold up our share of the sky just as well!”
Ni Yang’s words were heartfelt, leaving Ni Cuihua silent for a long time.
She wanted to say something in rebuttal, but she realized she couldn’t find any words to counter.
Indeed, her thinking was too narrow.
Ni Cuihua nodded, “Yangyang, you’re right. From now on, we will not rely on anyone!”
Seeing her mother understand this reasoning, Ni Yang felt less worried.
