Chapter 341 No one is lying, just a dilemmaShen Dinghai and Yangguang's faces flushed, "It's not our fault... This is our first time and we have no experience..."
Ran Ran added calmly, "But if you try this every time you serve coffee, it's not just a matter of inexperience."
Dingjunshan stopped teasing, for he was afraid that the two young men would commit suicide out of shame and anger.
"Let me share what I found out. In fact, the general content is similar to that of the evil child, but there are some differences in the details."
"What details?"
"Evil boy, you said those people told you that Luo Guo was a housewife without a job, right?"
Ran Ran spread his hands, "They didn't say it directly, but that's what they meant."
Ding Junshan frowned, "Then I don't know which side is lying. What I found out is exactly the opposite of what the evil boy said. Luo Guo has a job."
"It's a very busy job that requires people to leave early and come back late. The two ladies I interviewed said that they rarely have the opportunity to see Luo Guo."
Shen Dinghai subconsciously believed Ran Ran more, and at the same time, he believed the information Ran Ran had found out.
"Brother Jun, are you sure those two people didn't mean that Luo Guo was so busy taking care of the children that she was nowhere to be seen?"
Yangguang objected to this, saying, "If she was always busy taking care of the children, she would not be invisible. People on the street should be able to see Luo Guo more often."
Glancing at Shen Dinghai's puzzled look, Yangguang explained, "Don't think that raising a child is something that only requires staying at home all the time."
"One thing that is very tiring about raising a child is that you not only need to meet the child's physical needs, but you also have to take the child out to play..."
Yangguang seemed to have endless tears when talking about this topic. "I used to help take care of my older brothers and sisters' children, that is, my nephews. It was really tiring."
"Not only are they full of energy, they also have a new idea every now and then. If you don't keep an eye on them, they will slip away from your grasp like a loach. It's not that easy to catch them and keep them in your grasp!"
The three of them were stunned by his complaints.
Yangguang's face, which had just "cooled down", turned red again. "In short, taking care of children is very, very tiring. In addition, outdoor activities are essential for children to grow up healthily!"
Ding Junshan nodded, "I can also confirm that I heard it correctly. The two ladies were talking about work."
Shen Dinghai was confused, "Who is lying?"
Ran Ran quickly figured it out, "It's very likely that no one lied. Generally speaking, people wouldn't lie to a stranger because there's no need."
"This is a situation where those people with bad tastes are excluded."
Shen Dinghai's face was even more confused. "If no one lied, that would be even more strange."
Ran Ran explained: "What I mean is that both sides are expressing the facts, but they are only expressing what they think is the truth."
"After all, they don't have a God's perspective, so they don't see the whole picture."
Ran Ran looked towards Dingjun Mountain. "I think the information you got is closer to reality. Yang Guang has already explained this. As for why those four people said that..."
"One very likely explanation is that they are men."
The three men present couldn't help but shudder when they heard this, "What kind of statement is this?"
Ran Ran raised her eyebrows, "As a man, you can only look at things from a man's perspective."
"The four people who disclosed the information to me are all working men, and I can tell from their words that they admire Luo Ku."
"They think that Luo Ku's ability to work and take care of the child at the same time is amazing and impressive, and they may even think that the same thing is unimaginable for them." "How can a man work and take care of the child at the same time? So when they see Luo Guo getting up early to buy groceries because she has to take care of the child, they subconsciously put Luo Guo in their male perspective."
Ran Ran spread her hands. "They will think that Luo Guo already has a hard time taking care of the child, and she definitely doesn't have the energy to take care of work at the same time."
"With this in mind, they came to the conclusion that Luo Guo was a housewife without a job."
Shen Dinghai nodded absentmindedly, "That makes sense."
Ran Ran said to Ding Junshan again: "And the two women you asked were able to notice Luo Guo's professional status precisely because they are women."
“Women can see things from a female perspective.”
"Men farm and women weave, and men work outside and women work inside are the conventions that have always been in place, but the world has changed now, right?"
Ran Ran blinked at Shen Dinghai, and Shen Dinghai nodded quickly, "Yes!"
"Women now have the opportunity to find a career. Their world is no longer limited to that small home. There is a wider world outside waiting for them to explore. And the number of women exploring outside is indeed increasing. This is the current situation."
"But the conventional responsibilities of 'homemaking' are still considered to be shouldered by women, and this is the current situation."
"Grocery shopping, cooking, laundry, cleaning, and taking care of infants and young children are tasks that still fall on their shoulders even after they have their own jobs, careers, and identities."
Ran Ran said firmly, "This is wrong."
"No matter how family responsibilities should be reasonably distributed, there is no dispute that the current model of most families is unreasonable."
Her words left the three men present speechless.
Ranran sighed inwardly and returned to the original topic.
"This is the dilemma that the two women endured, and it is also the dilemma that Luo Guo endured, so they can understand each other."
Ran Ran was quite sure, "If you don't believe my conclusion, you can ask those two women to see if they have experience of working and taking care of the family at the same time."
Yangguang was a young and naive man who really wanted to get up immediately to verify Ranran's words, but Dingjunshan stopped him with a wry smile.
"No need to go. What the evil boy said is absolutely right. I had already discussed their situation with the two ladies long before I officially started to investigate..."
“They are really stuck between family and career and are exhausted.”
The three of them followed Dingjun Mountain's gaze and saw two women with a thin laptop computer placed in front of them. They kept typing on the keyboard with tired looks on their faces, stopping from time to time to take a sip of bitter coffee.
Ding Junshan said helplessly: "When I approached them, they hadn't started working yet, and they looked like they were enjoying their coffee."
Seeing this, Ran Ran said softly, "The time spent in this cafe should be their rare leisure time. After night falls, they can drink coffee and chat with good friends like this."
Shen Dinghai stared at the notebook and sighed, "It's a pity that this is not real leisure."
Yangguang stared at them for a long time before he subconsciously sighed, "They are so nice."
Ranran was stunned for a while before she realized that Yangguang meant that their leisure time was so rare, but they were willing to take time out of their busy schedule to seriously answer Dingjunshan's questions.
Ding Junshan couldn't help but sigh, "He is indeed a good man."
Ranran withdrew her gaze and looked at her still tender hands.
The adult world is really not easy.
