Chapter 72 I have a different opinion
"Hello?"
"Hello, this is Yoo Hee-yeol's Music City. I'm Yoo Hee-yeol. How can I help you?"
Liu Xiye asked in a slightly mechanical tone, looking a little depressed, as if he was thinking about something.
"Hello, Mr. Liu Xilie, I, I..."
Judging from the voice of the female caller, her voice shouldn't be too low, but she did sound a little nervous.
"Don't be nervous. We don't know who you are anyway. If you have any difficulties or emotional problems, you can tell me. Maybe I can give you some useful advice!"
"Well, I do have some troubles. It's about my husband!"
Liu Xilie didn't even ask the other person's last name. Generally speaking, for those who are more relaxed, Liu Xilie would ask their name or last name. For someone like this who is obviously nervous and sounds uninterested, he wouldn't ask too many questions.
"Um!"
Liu Xilie replied softly, indicating that he was listening.
Zheng Xiuheng on the side looked at Liu Xiye curiously. Perhaps it was slowly coming to the end. Liu Xiye finally had a normal working attitude while feeling a little apologetic. Although it sounded casual, Zheng Xiuheng found it quite interesting.
"What a pity! It looks like we won't be able to meet this handsome guy!"
"Hey, I thought there would be more handsome DJs in our group. Although Liu Xiye is very good, his appearance..."
Han Zhiyuan listened to the small conversations of her seniors and showed a pity on her face. At this moment, she was 100% sure that the man brought by Liu Xilie must have a grudge against him. It seemed that Uncle Liu Xilie was indeed a bad man with a dark heart, and he still said he was a friend.
…
"We have been married for four years and now have a two-year-old child. Since last year, he has been at home almost exclusively except when he is sleeping. Now that the child is growing up, I really hope he can spend more time with me and the child, but he says I don't understand anything. He always comes home drunk late at night, falls asleep, and goes straight to work the next day. This kind of life makes me feel very confused. Is this the fate of women?"
Zheng Xiuheng became interested. He listened to the woman's words and looked at Liu Xiye's serious expression. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Being a housewife is the ultimate destiny of Korean women after marriage. Although it is not to say that there are no working women in this society, after a Korean man and a woman get married, it is easy for the woman to become a full-time housewife.
The non-economically active population in South Korea who have difficulty finding a job or have given up on employment are mainly due to housework, childcare, elderly care, preparation for employment, physical disabilities, etc. Among them, there are 5.835 million full-time housewives without childcare burdens, and their ages are mainly concentrated in the 40s and 50s.
In addition, there are more than one million young women who are unable to adapt to the pace of society and lack the ability to raise children. In South Korea, a country with a population of only 50 million, such a large proportion is enough to represent the current situation of Korean society.
Moreover, in South Korea, women in their 40s and 20s are listed as the least competitive group in the employment market.
This is where trouble comes in, trouble for men. In order to support the family and shoulder their own responsibilities, married men who have entered society have no choice but to struggle and work hard.
"We've talked less and less in the past few months, even on weekends. When I asked him to take me and the kids out, he always refused, saying he was too tired. Facing such a husband and watching him get drunk every day, I really want to just run away. I feel very confused and panicked now, because we haven't been married for very long and I don't have any friends around me to talk to, so I hope that Teacher Yoo Hee Yeol can help me, even a little bit!"
A somewhat confused housewife.
Liu Xilie had a headache and felt a little emotional. At this moment, he suddenly thought of his wife. In fact, Liu Xilie had been married for quite some time. His wife was not from the entertainment industry, but was also a housewife. Because of his work, he often returned home in the middle of the night and had a lot of work during the day. Thinking that his wife might be the same as the woman on the phone, Liu Xilie's heart softened and he felt a little sorry.
"After listening to your story, I feel a little ashamed, because your husband and I are somewhat similar. Maybe sometimes we focus on work and forget about our family and the surrounding environment . If possible, I hope you can have a good talk with your husband and tell him about your troubles. After all, this is a matter between the two of you. It is difficult for outsiders to make practical suggestions. For example, how deep was your relationship before marriage, how much you love each other, and there are children..."
"I see it differently!"
"ah!"
"What is he doing?" Li Zhongmin frowned, feeling a little unhappy. He thought that the guy had given up and seemed to know that being a radio DJ was not something he could do just because he wanted to. But in the middle of such a conversation, he suddenly said that he had a different opinion. Isn't this asking for trouble?
The text message recorder was also a little panicked, because there were several more text messages cursing Zheng Xiuheng: "Why is this guy still here?" "Hasn't he left yet?" "This guest is not a good one."
"Ah, isn't it over yet?"
Kim HyunA yawned and mumbled in a daze.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't care what Liu Xilie was thinking. He was just feeling uncomfortable because of what the lady said, and the housewife on the other end of the phone was also a little confused.
"Ma'am, can I ask you two questions?"
Zheng Xiuheng didn't care what the show was like, he had something to say anyway, and he was sure that the production crew didn't dare to hang up the phone directly.
"Sure, sure, but who are you?"
"Do you like drinking?"
"No, I don't, but are you?"
"Do you think the wine tastes good?"
"I don't think so. I want to ask who you are!"
"Have you ever asked your husband how he feels?"
"W-what?"
The young housewife lying on the bed holding the phone with a tired face on the other side of the phone changed from angry to somewhat panicked and strange. She didn't know what this strange person was going to ask.
"Is your husband always drunk on weekends?"
Although she felt a little uncomfortable, the young housewife still answered Zheng Xiuheng's question out of curiosity: "No!"
Zheng Xiuheng showed a slight smile on his face, a somewhat strange smile. At least Liu Xilie felt that it was not a friendly smile, but rather a bit like a mockery.
"This is a fast-paced society. I guess your husband should work for a large company, right?"
"How do you know?"
"I'm just guessing. I don't know if it's accurate, but I have something to say to my wife. I won't talk about the high pressure of social life, nor will I talk about the troubles at work and family pressure. Simply put, unless you are a real alcoholic, even if you like to drink, you won't get drunk every day. It seems that the wife feels distressed because of her husband's social life, but the wife should consider that this society is full of competition. If you don't want to be eliminated, you have to keep working hard!"
Zheng Xiuheng paused, tapped the wooden table with his fingers and continued, "While you are worrying about yourself, you should also consider the pressure your husband is facing. The indifference in the relationship between husband and wife does not come from one party, it is a problem for both parties. In my personal opinion, your husband is a man who is working hard for the family. He may not be a good husband, but he is a good parent. Instead of nagging, dissatisfaction, abuse and distress, I think the first thing a wife should do is to give her husband a warm hug when he comes home and say 'thank you for your hard work'!"
"Your confusion and pain all come from misunderstanding. It's not just your misunderstanding of your husband, but also your husband's misunderstanding and neglect of you. This is not to say that you are wrong, but to say a very realistic truth. Rather than communication, what you need now is understanding, understanding before communication. Since you are husband and wife, someone should always take this step first!"
After Zheng Xiuheng finished speaking, the live broadcast room, the control room outside, and the person on the other end of the phone fell into a brief silence.
