Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Don’t Be Too Greedy

They say women hold up half the sky, and she wants to, too. But when a family faces hardship, it’s often the woman who gets sacrificed.

Of course, she’s not complaining about her husband. She’s just seeing the reality of the world clearly.

The child is young and needs to be fed every day; moms are more attentive in caring for children…

From any angle, it seems women should stay at home.

She’s grateful she met Hou Xiaobao, who understood she had to stay home to care for the family and child, and gave her respect. Each month, he handed over his salary in full, fearing she’d feel unbalanced.

She knows many men take women’s sacrifices for granted, saying things like, “I earn money to support you outside, you relax at home, what is there to complain about?”

As for all the household work, raising children to adulthood, it goes unnoticed.

Where did women willingly stay at home?

Liu Na is the same, knowing there’s no hope for her career because of the child.

She even brainwashes herself repeatedly that she already has a happy family; Hou Xiaobao loves her and cares for the family, handing over his salary for her to manage.

And she has a child.

You can’t be too greedy.

If the family is happy, should you also expect career success?

With such repeated brainwashing, she decided that she’d be the homemaker while Hou Xiaobao worked outside.

Hou Xiaobao handles earning money, and she’ll manage raising the child.

She even had a conversation with Hou Xiaobao because she feared he’d feel he owed her for giving up her job at the Department Store to raise the child.

She arranged everything so naturally, but was she truly content inside?

She didn’t dare to ask herself this question.

Initially, Feng Zhong deceived her; she even considered dying in her despair.

It was Mr. Lin who pulled her out of the abyss. She wanted to repay him well, aiming to make a career like his, ensuring no one looked down on her.

But…

She didn’t dare to see Mr. Lin, fearing she’d disappoint him.

To her surprise, Mr. Lin didn’t feel disappointed and kept thinking about her.

Knowing she was in trouble, he helped her resolve the issues.

At this moment, Liu Na decided firmly that this time she must achieve results and not fail Mr. Lin’s trust.

After Lin Chuxia left, Liu Na was revitalized, opened the wardrobe, and began trying on clothes.

Little Yongqiang sat nearby, also grabbing her clothes along with his mom.

Kids are most sensitive to adult emotions. He knew his mom was very happy now, even if he didn’t know why. As long as mom’s happy, he’s happy.

Peals of laughter from mom and child occasionally rang out, and as Hou Xiaobao came home and entered, he heard the laughter.

“What are you two laughing about?”

He was slightly stunned to see Liu Na in a change of clothes.

A white shirt, black trousers, and her hair was tied up.

“Why this outfit today?”

Since having the child… No, to be exact, since being larger in pregnancy, Liu Na hadn’t dressed like this.

Earlier, her belly was big, clothes didn’t fit; after childbirth, managing the child, she definitely wouldn’t wear white clothes.

At a glance, Hou Xiaobao felt reminiscent of first seeing Liu Na.

Liu Na tugged at her collar, “How does it look, okay? Feels a bit tight, maybe I’ve gained weight.”

“These clothes are from before you were pregnant. Of course, you’d gain weight after childbirth. If you like dressing like this, buy a slightly looser piece tomorrow.”

Hou Xiaobao laughed casually.

“Didn’t I just get my paycheck a couple of days ago? It’s perfect for buying a few new clothes. After having the child, you barely buy new clothes. Don’t just buy for the child, you need some too.” Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel⸺fire.net

“Alright, I’ll go buy them this afternoon. But Ancheng County’s Department Store surely won’t have as many styles as our mall.”

Though neither of them worked at Xiyang Clothing Mall anymore, they were still used to referring to it as their mall, which felt comforting.

Liu Na changed out of her clothes while Houzi had already set the prepared warm dishes on the table from the kitchen.

Looking at the dishes on the table, she laughed and said, “Why so many good dishes today? I’ll hold the child while you eat first.”

Liu Na refused the hand Hou Xiaobao extended, “I can eat while holding him, let’s eat together. It won’t taste good if it cools down.”

Only then with a goofy smile did Hou Xiaobao sit down, handing her chopsticks.

The main food was steamed buns. Cooking with a child naturally calls for efficiency.

The buns were large, almost the size of a plate.

However, Hou Xiaobao ate a lot as well.

He took a bun, didn’t even break it, bit a large piece directly.

Liu Na picked up a bun, broke off a small piece, dipped it in soup, and fed it to her son’s mouth, before taking a small bite herself.

“Today Mr. Lin came by. He wants me to manage the mall in Ancheng County…”

At the front half of the sentence, Hou Xiaobao raised his head in surprise, thinking he’d misheard.

Upon hearing the latter half, a bite of bun lodged in his throat.

He leaned forward, eyes wide.

Liu Na got startled seeing him like that, quickly set the child aside to pour him water.

Hou Xiaobao gulped down the full mug of tea water, only then swallowing the bite of bun.

Ignoring Liu Na’s inquiry if he was okay, he stared and asked, “Did you say Mr. Lin specifically came home to see you today, wanting you to manage the mall at Xiyang Building?”

Liu Na nodded, “Mm, I already agreed with Mr. Lin, Houzi. Actually, Mr. Lin wanted me to discuss it with you first, but I couldn’t wait, so I agreed directly with Mr. Lin. But don’t worry, even if I go out to work, I won’t neglect the family, nor Yongqiang. Mr. Lin said Xiyang will have a nursery for Xiyang employees’ kids. Yongqiang will go there, so you don’t have to worry about him not being taken care of. So don’t stop me…”

Although she knew Hou Xiaobao had special feelings for Lin Chuxia and would likely support anything Lin Chuxia assigned her.

But regarding the child, Liu Na’s heart was uncertain, so she spilled everything.

Hou Xiaobao gripped her shoulders and laughed heartily, “Why would I oppose? Silly girl, you think I’d oppose? Mr. Lin favors us, I’m beyond happy. How could I oppose? Hahaha… My wife Hou Xiaobao is going to be a manager, you’re simply amazing…”

Liu Na was dizzy from his shaking, and seeing daddy and mommy’s excitement, Little Yongqiang joyously yelled.

“Alright, alright, let’s eat, look, you’re a dad now, so restless…”

Hou Xiaobao didn’t care, “What’s the need for calm at home? And what’s more, such a happy thing, I can’t be calm. Right, Yongqiang, your mom’s going to be a manager, aren’t you as excited as dad? In our home, your mom will be the boss, the most remarkable person.”

Little Yongqiang ate the bun dipped in soup, cheeks bulging…
