Upon hearing Yu Jingting, a grown man, boldly proclaim "I'm incompetent," the Factory Director burst into laughter and rushed home to share the anecdote with his wife.
"Xiaoyu really has no backbone, his wife has scolded him into a submissive state, not at all like us Dongbei men."
"His wife is unreasonable too, last time while throwing out trash, I was just trying to greet her politely, and she came and snapped at me. What nonsense."
This couple got together to gossip and criticize the entire Yu Family.
They complained that Wang Cuihua was too coquettish, that Jiaojiao was learning the piano, and even the fact that the twins didn't wear old clothes provided material for them to grumble about.
"Which respectable family acts like the Yu Family does?"
In the eyes of the Factory Director's couple, any decent person ought to uphold the spirit of thrift, wearing their clothes for three years new, three years old, and another three years after patching and mending.
