Zhuang Zhiyuan, being such a prideful person, would probably be mortified to bring this up himself.
However, Bai Fendou added, "Having the husband collect the wife's salary is a bit embarrassing."
Zhuang Zhixi: "There's no other way. What else can we do? Our family has already lost one formal job; we can't afford to lose another. If we don't guard against it strictly, Liang Meifen's family will take advantage of us again."
Bai Fendou sympathized, "Your family really has it tough, dealing with someone so foolish."
Zhuang Zhixi: "There's nothing we can do. If it were someone else, we wouldn't be saying this. But since we've known each other for so long, and you're aware of our situation, I'm being honest with you."
Bai Fendou felt a bit pleased. He used to envy the Zhuang family because both men in the household had wives.
But now, seeing this, he realized that having a wife wasn't all that great.
She's disloyal.
