Marrying someone else, she might not have had the life she has today.
Old Zhou had been lazy when he was young and wasn't particularly good at showing affection, but that wasn't a problem unique to him—didn't every man in the village have the same faults? Ms. Qian saw it very clearly.
Even her eldest brother, it was his wife who used to carry water for the household, then it was the daughters-in-law, and now it was the turn of the grandchildren...
Zhou Jin was singled out by others merely because he was a bit lazier than the average person, but he had a thoughtfulness that others lacked.
Even though the women in the village could manage the household and even held the money, when it came to using a large sum or making a major family decision, there were not many women who could really take charge.
Not to mention when the head of the household disagreed with her.
But Ms. Qian could.
