Chapter 114
“Miss Xianna, you're still too immature. | don’t think being a housewife is bad, nor earning one’s own money is nobler. It’s just thedifference in one’s role in marriage. My husband is the breadwinner while | take care of the household. If there happens to be aday when he no longer wants to be the breadwinner, | can still switch with him and be the breadwinner instead, | won’t look downon him for being the househusband since | can still care for him.” Stella followed up by switching the topic. “On the other hand, |detest NEETs that can’t earn money and have to depend on their parents, yet they could be very vocal about beingindependent.”
The jewelry shop may not be packed, yet Stella’s voice was loud enough for everyone within to hear.
Most that came to the shop in the morning were housewives like Stella. Apart from housewives like Stella, who had a wealthyfamily background that did not require them to work for money, there were those that chose to become housewives for theirchildren’s sake.
Women had sacrificed their careers to care for the family, only to receive scornful words. Anyone would be enraged to hearcriticisms like “not worth even a penny” or ‘living off their husband*.
Stella’s words undoubtedly resonated with those that were present.
Unable to withstand such words, some blurted, “Such a young lady, and yet she has such traditional thinking.”
“Can't you make your own decisions? What era are we in to still have a need to define a woman's role?”
“Having a career is so much easier. If my husband is willing to become a househusband, I’d even give him my debit card.”“What right do you vermins have to look down on housewives.”
Xianna, in a burst of anger, shouted, “Shut up, all of you! It’s none of your business!”
The salesperson reminded, “Miss, please refrain from raising your voice in the establishment.
Sophia did not expect that Xianna would be this dumb for being angered to such an extent by Stella even without putting up afight.
She could not help but say, “Sister, my friend is a little straightforward when it comes to the bracelet that she fancies. Could youlet her try it on if you're still considering if you want to buy it?”
Stella glanced at her and said, “What kind of logic is that? Can you guarantee that she will make the purchase if | let her try iton? This should be on a first-come-first-serve basis. If she wants to try it, she’ll have to wait. I’m not done going through thisyet.”
Stella remained stubborn as Sophia refused to budge. If this was at Jewell’s household, Stella would have to give in to Sophiabecause of Albert. Since they were outside, Sophia could not force Stella’s hand.
Xianna, who was still angry, clenched her teeth and said, “Make her take off the bracelet. | want that bracelet.”novelbin
Stella paused for a moment as her lips slightly downturned.
“Are you sure about this, Miss?” The salesperson reminded, “This bracelet is expensive. There will be no refunds if there are noquality issues.”
Xianna blew her top. “It’s just a cheap bracelet. Do you doubt that | can buy it?” She then took out a credit card and threw it ontothe top of the display counter. “Swipe this to the card now!”
“| didn’t mean it that way,” said the salesperson. Then, she turned to Stella and asked, ” Madam, what do you think of thisbracelet?”
Stella shrugged and said, “The shine and color are good, but the size isn’t a good fit. Since Ms. Xianna wants it, she can have it.”She signaled the salesperson to take off the bracelet after she had said that.
Xianna rolled her eyes. ‘Why find an excuse when you can’t even afford it?‘ she thought.
