859 Supporting the Husband and Raising Children

Ma Yan also came to the kitchen to help, but it was more like she was supervising.

“I’ll help you! If there’s anything you don’t know, you can also ask me!” Although Ma Yan said so, she did not do anything. Rather than saying that she was here to help, it would be better to say that she was here to guide.

“This is a meticulous job! You have to make a total of 66 small dumplings, and the dumplings must be as small and exquisite as possible!”

Luo Chen was tired and sleepy, but she still had to do these things. Although Luo Chen’s family was quite well-off, she could still do the kitchen work. She tried to listen to Ma Yan’s words and deal with these things properly.

Luo Chen’s father had left Yun Lin’s family’s house last night and should have returned to the military compound. Luo Chen thought that this was the first day of marriage, so she could not complain to her parents about her experience, which would inevitably affect the harmony.

“There’s one more thing I need to discuss with you!” Ma Yan saw that the atmosphere was good enough and made her own request.

“Mom! If there’s anything you need, just say it. I’ll definitely do my best to do it!” Luo Chen accepted the change of address fee at the wedding yesterday, so she also changed the way she addressed Ma Yan.

“Since you’re already married, I think that family should be the most important thing in everything. Family first!”

“I’ll try my best!”

“Don’t dismiss me by saying that you will try your best! I mean that you can quit your current job and stay at home to be a full-time housewife. This way, you can help us with the chores at home, and my son can work in the army without any worries.”

Ma Yan went straight to the point.

“This …” Luo Chen’s expression changed.

Luo Chen had come into contact with Ma Yan’s character before, and he knew that she would inevitably suffer some grievances after being married to Yun Qiao. Luo Chen also had a certain level of psychological endurance, but if Ma Yan asked her to give up the career that she had always been proud of and loved, Luo Chen could not do it.

“I know that your position in the Army is higher than my son’s, so you don’t want to give up your career yet. However, this matter cannot be settled like this!”

Ma Yan naturally saw Luo Chen’s unwillingness and wanted to use her own way to brainwash her.

“My son is still young, and he has been promoted twice in a row. He can be a higher official in the future! So we can’t just focus on the current situation.”

“As women, we should help our husbands and raise children. We should help our husbands with housework, and give birth to children for them. It’s not good to go out and expose yourself! Now that you’ve become a daughter-in-law of the Yun family, you should live according to the rules of survival of our Yun family’s daughter-in-law.”

The reason why Ma Yan said that was because she hoped that Luo Chen would give up her current job and rely more on Yun Qiao. That way, her words would have more weight. Secondly, Ma Yan did not think there was anything wrong with what she said. She had lived her life like this, so she felt that this was what a woman should do in her life.

“Mom! I don’t quite agree with what you’re saying! What do you mean by ‘what a woman should do’?”

Luo Chen did not think that she should be controlled. Instead, she began to sympathize with Ma Yan’s thoughts and wanted to use her own thoughts to ‘brainwash’ Ma Yan.

“It’s a new era now! Men and women should be equal! A man and a woman should support the family’s affairs together. Supporting the husband and raising the children is not a woman’s matter alone! Educating children should be a common task for husband and wife!”

Luo Chen put down the flour in her hand and said seriously.

“My father was very supportive of my mother’s career! My mother also relied on her own ability to achieve economic independence all her life, but at the same time, she also taught me very well. Let’s not talk about the distant ones and talk about the closer ones, like Aunt Chen Li!” Luo Chen wanted to use Chen Li as an example.

“She used to stay at home to help her husband and raise her children, but she wasn’t happy! Now, she already had her own career. It was because she is financially independent that she could get her husband’s support at home! Her face is always brimming with a confident smile now. I think that this state is the healthiest!”

When Ma Yan heard Luo Chen’s words, she hesitated for a moment.
