Xia Zhaoyun tilted her chin up slightly. "This is a new era. What's the point of getting a wife these days? To cherish her and spoil her, of course. Otherwise, a life of poetry and romance just becomes the mundane drudgery of daily chores."
"Otherwise, they should just prepare to be bachelors their whole lives!"
The young women all nodded. "Exactly! We're talking about gender equality. Why should we have to work a job and then come home to do all the housework too?"
Another young woman whispered, "Besides, we women can have children. What can they do?"
Everyone shrugged and laughed. "That's right! We can do anything men can do, but they can't necessarily do everything we can. And they still want to be treated like lords and have us wait on them? The nerve!"
Xia Zhaoyun turned to Teacher Su. "Teacher Su, please join us for lunch. My partner didn't know how many of us there would be, so he went ahead and booked three tables."
