AMRWFA -Chapter 305 Romantic

【At the beginning, Fang Yixue was definitely unwilling. She felt Ding Chen wasn’t capable, and that he must have fallen in love with another woman, which was why he was so cold and perfunctory toward her on their wedding night.】

【Later on, he kept avoiding intimacy with her, either claiming to be busy with this or that.】

【Fang Yixue was still young, newly married, and it was awkward for her to keep demanding such things from a husband she barely knew from a business marriage, so she could only endure it.】

【At that time, Ding Chen’s mother was also there “educating” Fang Yixue, saying women should be chaste and self-reflective, not cling too much, that such things drain a man’s vitality and hurt his health if done too often…】

【Blah blah blah—she went on and on, basically teaching Fang Yixue to “understand” Ding Chen, and that marital relations should be as infrequent as possible.】

【Fang Yixue had her doubts, but how could she possibly discuss such private matters between husband and wife with anyone else?】

【Not even her sister—she couldn’t bring herself to say it.】

【When did the problem actually begin?】

【It wasn’t until a year later, when Fang Yixue’s attempt to initiate intimacy was rejected, and she was even slapped by her husband, who called her disgusting and said she only thought about such shameless things…】

【“What kind of woman would have nothing better to do than demand this from her husband? Only shameless women would ask for such things.”】

【“A virtuous woman should be reserved. Especially about this kind of thing, she should wait for her husband to initiate it, not take the lead herself.”】

【“A woman who takes the initiative is just shameless…”】

Yu Xiangqiao, who was already itching to curse: “……”

【Who’s shameless?】

【Your parents are the shameless ones! Otherwise how could they have raised something like you?!】

Yu Xiangqiao and Xu Nannan: Well said!

What do you mean a woman is shameless for taking initiative? Are women not human anymore?

Damn it!

Especially Yu Xiangqiao—she really wanted to grab her husband by the collar and ask, “Do you think the same way?”

If he did, she’d make him sleep on the sofa for a month.

“Achoo…”

Xu Lianghan sneezed, feeling like someone was cursing him.

Could it be his mother again?

He couldn’t help thinking so—whenever Yu Xiangqiao encountered something unpleasant or got angry outside, she would go home and “curse” her unfilial sons in her mind.

After being cursed so often, if she suddenly stopped one day, he might even feel uncomfortable.

【Only the silly Fang Yixue actually believed it.】

Fang Yixue immediately looked at her sister: Sister, I didn’t—I really didn’t…

Fang Yining looked at her sister, wishing she could crack her head open to see which nerve had gone wrong. How could she believe such nonsense?

【She called her sister and said she had been hit…】

【The Fang family really thought Ding Chen had beaten Fang Yixue and went to confront the Ding family. They stood up for her—but none of them knew the real reason she had been hit.】

【Oh, the Fang family thought it didn’t matter. No matter why Ding Chen hit her, he shouldn’t have hit his wife.】

【Well… logically speaking, yes. But the problem was that Ding Chen slapped Fang Yixue because he “couldn’t perform”… shouldn’t they at least ask before skipping over that part?】

Fang Yining felt a bad premonition.

If that was the case… then her sister…

As expected, her guess came true.

Soon, the narration continued:

【The Fang family advised reconciliation rather than separation, saying Ding Chen had realized his mistake and that Fang Yixue should be more tolerant, claiming many couples go through this.】

【They said marriage is like new shoes—you have to break them in slowly, you can’t just throw them away if they don’t fit at first.】

Yu Xiangqiao wanted to curse again.

New shoes needing adjustment is fine—but…

【But if the shoes are fundamentally defective, why are you forcing them to be worn? Why not just choose a better pair?!】

【Ahhh… no wonder Fang Yixue ended up so miserable. Her own family played a part too.】

Fang Yining fell silent.

She thought of her own marriage. When she first married, she also had conflicts for various reasons.

But because it was also a business marriage, both families “encouraged reconciliation rather than divorce,” telling them to slowly adjust.

Fortunately, her husband wasn’t physically incapable—he was just playful and hadn’t settled down yet.

She spent a lot of effort before making him realize he was married and needed to take responsibility for the marriage. No matter who the partner was, once you enter a marriage, you must treat it properly.

After all, she did nothing wrong.

She only obeyed her family’s arrangement.

If he didn’t want to marry, he should have resisted from the beginning.

And if he couldn’t resist his family, why should he expect his wife to be able to?

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Luckily, her husband was reasonable. He just had some frustration in his heart, and once it was talked through, things got better.

Normally this kind of approach wouldn’t be a problem—but her sister’s situation was different. Her husband wasn’t a character issue; he was literally “incapable.”

Just thinking about how she didn’t take her sister seriously when she called, assuming it was just marital conflict, made her want to slap herself.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiangqiao suddenly asked sharply:

“What do you mean ‘not capable’? In bed, or in character?”

“Whatever it is, it’s not your fault—it’s his problem.”

“Don’t be afraid, speak slowly! Your sister will stand up for you!”

…

Yu Xiangqiao’s words made Fang Yixue on the other end of the phone burst into tears, crying like a child who had suffered immense grievance.

After a long while, she finally began to describe her married life in detail. With Yu Xiangqiao’s patient guidance and questions, Fang Yining realized how many details she had missed.

Details she had never noticed before.

Yu Xiangqiao couldn’t help but sigh, impressed by how the Fang family handled things so carelessly despite supposedly loving their daughters deeply.

【Or is it that their way of loving daughters is just finding them a “good marriage market price,” and then handing them over to the husband’s family like goods?】

【“Married daughters are like spilled water”?】

【Property?】

【What exactly do they take their daughters for?】

The Fang sisters remained silent.

The Fang family seemed to dote on their daughters publicly, but only they knew the truth.

They did love their daughters—but only as assets to be exchanged for higher-value marriages.

In the Fang family, sons were everything.

Only sons had inheritance rights. As for daughters…

Heh.

They were tools for marriage alliances.

Fang Yining could not escape it. Fang Yixue could not escape it either.

Both sisters had long since resigned themselves to fate.

Or rather, they had been raised in such an environment that they never even thought of resisting. Like princesses in a story—since they were raised by the kingdom, when the time came to marry for the kingdom, they had no choice but to comply.

In the eyes of the Fang family men, marriage was merely a tool.

Not only daughters were used for alliances—even the daughters-in-law brought into the family had to be beneficial.

Anyone who married a woman not beneficial to the family would be considered rebellious and unfilial.
