Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Trivial matters at home are the most emotional-consuming ones.
"Pff, he's no gentleman. He just pretends to be one in front of my grandparents and my aunts, always acting so well-behaved to gain their trust and favor," said Sana Woods dismissively, as if looking down on her brother.
"He's certainly good at winning people over, but other than that, he's got nothing," Sana continued, full of disdain.
Suri Drew, upon hearing Sana talk about Yigol Novak, couldn't help but be intrigued: "So why do you have such a low opinion of your brother? Just because he's a delivery guy?"
"Yeah, he's a grown man, and all he can do is run deliveries. What kind of skill is that?"
"All he's good at is housekeeping and winning people's hearts. He doesn't have any real talents. I'm worried about him, pretty sister. Do you think there's any woman who'll ever find someone like him attractive?"
Sana didn't wait for Suri to voice her opinion before continuing,
"I think there's no chance, unless a woman is blind or she's so ugly that no one would marry her. Otherwise, there's no way she'd ever be into him."
Suri couldn't help but smile wryly at this rather unusual evaluation.
"Who knows? Maybe some good-looking woman who isn't blind will find your brother attractive?"
"Actually, every girl has different ideas when it comes to choosing a partner."
"Take me, for example. I have my own business, a house, and no worries about food and clothing. My idea of a good partner is a down-to-earth man, like your brother - someone who's reliable, good at taking care of the home, and does the housework."
"After all, I don't need to rely on anyone for material needs. If I were also doing business and the person I found was also fully focused on business, then we wouldn't have time for each other, and in the end, it would be short-lived."
"In my view, a family should work together and treasure each other, not both be too busy to have time to go home or even eat a hot meal together and end up constantly complaining. That's no fun."
Sana disagreed, arguing: "You're just saying that, but would you actually do that?"
"Since you own a business, you'd never go for a man who doesn't hold a candle to you. You'd feel embarrassed taking him out, and the saying 'well-matched in social and economic status' is quite reasonable."
"You'll definitely look for someone on your level. Even if you don't have time to clean up the house, you have money. You can hire a maid, and as for food, what kind of delicacies can't you buy when you have money?"
"In my opinion, trivial matters at home can erode a relationship. The one staying at home always gets looked down on, their efforts ignored, and constantly criticized by the one working outside."
"Especially for men, before marriage, they'd promise to earn money, provide for the family and treat their wives well. After having children, they'd ask their wives not to work and solely care for the family."
"But when a woman actually does that, she'll end up in a situation where she isn't respected by anyone."
Suri didn't know what to say in response.
Indeed, this was the reality for many couples. Having seen so many similar situations, she had never been interested in marriage.
If not for her impulsive decision to marry Yigol, she doubted she'd have ever considered tying the knot.
In a family, if there's too great a gap in the abilities of the two people, one will inevitably be seen as lacking ambition and not working hard enough.
Take Yigol for example, if he was indeed just a delivery guy, she'd probably think he wasn't good enough for her.
If someone has no real abilities and only knows how to please others, what charm do they have?
Especially for men - many people subconsciously think that men should be stronger than women. If a man can't even surpass his woman, how incompetent must he be?
"So, what if a man is very capable but prefers to keep a low profile and takes good care of his woman, even giving up all the glitz to willingly stay at home and look after his love?" Suri asked.
"There's no such man. Your assumption is not valid."
"If there is one, that woman must be incredibly charming to make the man willingly give up everything for her."
"Even so, it's probably just temporary. Men are the most unreliable creatures in the world. When something is fresh and they're still in love, they'd be willing to do anything. But a man's love doesn't last much longer than a fish's memory. Once the novelty is gone and the love fades, they're no longer willing."
Suri couldn't argue because deep down, she had always thought the same.
Only Yigol made her feel that he was different from other men.
However, their relationship couldn't be made public yet, so she didn't tell Sana about it.
Suri didn't dwell on this topic and instead shifted the focus, looking at Sana's makeup and asking,
"Sister, who taught you to apply makeup?"
Sana instinctively covered her face. "It's not someone who taught me, I just watched tutorials on my phone. It doesn't look good."
She was well aware of her own skills and felt utterly embarrassed in front of the beautiful Suri.
"You don't have to wear makeup right now. At your age, natural beauty is the most attractive. Just focus on skincare,"
"Do you like wearing makeup? I can find someone to teach you if you want," Suri asked.
Sana quickly waved her hands, "No, no, no! I don't like it at all. I just don't want people to think I'm still a kid."
Sana felt very awkward in front of Suri, thinking she had no dignity and looked like a clown.
Suri laughed, "You are a kid. Why do you want others to think you're a grown-up?"
"If you want to be seen as a grown-up, eat more. I heard from your brother that you eat very little," Suri said gently as she patted the little girl's head.
"I don't want to get fat. If I eat too much and gain weight, I won't look good," Sana replied.
Suri laughed, thinking how all girls who love beauty have the same mindset.
"That's just what others say. The food your brother makes is not only delicious but also guarantees that it won't affect your figure." f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
"Really?" Sana was skeptical.
"Of course, it's true. You'll see after you taste it later..."
After dinner, Yigol watched Sana with a wry smile: "Sana, your aunt said you eat very little, but it looks like a long-lost feast tonight. Even Tathagata Buddha's palm might not be enough to keep up with you!"
