Chapter 190

Ning Jie gave Lin Yuezhi a thorough dressing down, which in the vernacular of the Northeast meant she was utterly subdued and brought to heel. A woman had to be kept in line early on, otherwise, after a few years, you would be nothing more than the butt of her jokes. Women were truly strange creatures; the older and more experienced they got, the fiercer they became. At the very beginning you might still be able to bully them a bit, but by the later stages, you were left with no choice but to be bullied yourself. A man would never admit that he was past his prime; nine times out of ten it was all talk. If you were actually shut inside for a week straight, one-on-one, you would lose at least ten or eight pounds of flesh. They grew bolder with every battle, while you would exhaust your entire magazine and still fail to take the high ground. The couple discussed it all afternoon. Lin Yuezhi genuinely wanted to undertake something on her own. In her past life she had been the epitome of a supportive wife, but she had hardly ever meddled in the business; in this life, however, she seemed to have turned over a new leaf.
