What could Su Xiaowan say? That she wanted the best clothes? The best house? A home with air conditioning, a fridge, and a washing machine? To eat delicacies from land and sea, to ride in a Rolls Royce every time she went out?
If these words were spoken out loud, what would Han Dongchen think of her? A gold digger? A proponent of capitalist ideology?
Furthermore, Han Dongchen wasn't even familiar with many of these luxuries, how could she explain them to him? This is when the stark generational divide between them became painfully clear.
Han Dongchen couldn't understand what Su Xiaowan was aiming for. Was it worth taking such enormous risks? They weren't poor, why did she need to do this? Wasn't it normal for a daughter-in-law to stay home, bear children, and manage the household? How could such a petite woman harbour such big ambitions?
