Chapter 766 — Work Makes Me Happy

Parents who raised daughters often treated them like princesses from the time they were little, guarding against some wild boy from God-knows-where tricking them away.

In middle school, they strictly forbade dating and told them to stay away from those naive, immature boys. Getting into a good university was what mattered; they shouldn't let their parents down.

Once they got to university, their parents worried that some asshole would get them pregnant, so everything revolved around finding a good job.

But as soon as they started working, their parents' attitude did a complete 180. They could hardly wait for their daughters to get married the very next day and give them a new toy— a grandchild—on the third.

If a daughter still hadn't found a boyfriend after several years, her parents would start getting anxious, afraid she'd never marry. They'd call in every favor and pull every string to see if there was a suitable young man, kicking off a full-scale matchmaking campaign. They'd tell her to lower her standards, find some decent, honest guy, and look to the future and put in more effort.

Wait! The reversal wasn't over yet. It was only just beginning.

Once she found a boyfriend she liked, a new chapter began.

What were his qualifications? How was his job? What was his monthly income? Was he planning to buy a house? Did he have a car...? They'd go on and on, as if they hadn't been the ones who looked down on him in the first place. The future mother-in-law's battle mode had begun.

When the couple reached the point of discussing marriage, there were still the house, car, renovations, appliances, wedding banquet, betrothal gifts, jewelry, and who would control and spend the money to sort out.
