Chapter 129 He likes to beat Lily when he's drunk.
I'm not in the mood to hang up the phone.

Jiang Yuan gathered her thoughts and looked at the comments section again.

She caught a glimpse of several aggressive comments.

Is having a baby really that hard? My mom and grandma had so many children and never complained. They've only had one or two so far. What's with all the fuss?

"You bet! It's not that bad to stay home with kids. It's the men who work hard to earn money."

Jiang Yuan said coldly and sarcastically, "Only incompetent men would think that earning money outside is harder than their wives taking care of the children at home."

[How could you speak like that, anchor?]

[Trying to use feminist rhetoric to attract female fans, huh?]

[Damn, turns out he's a feminist, unfollowed!]

"Hurry up and unfollow them," Jiang Yuan said slowly, "so I don't have to kick them out one by one."

You... have to admit defeat!

[Although I'm a man, I think the host is absolutely right. Women can't go out to work to take care of children, making a greater sacrifice. Many men make sarcastic remarks, telling them to quit their jobs and try staying home to take care of the kids.]

[It's rare to meet such a sensible guy, thumbs up!]

After a while, the chat stopped discussing the topic, and Jiang Yuan slowly said, "Now let's reconnect with the fourth friend who has a pet."

This time, we connected with a netizen named "Flowers Bloom in Wealth".

The person's ID, "Blooming Flowers and Wealth," is a middle-aged woman with short, curly hair, drawn eyebrows and lips, and a gentle and graceful demeanor.

What an elegant auntie!

[Gives off a rich woman vibe]

Jiang Yuan looked at her and said gently, "Hello, Aunt Huakai Fugui."

"Hello, host." Hua Kai Fugui smiled broadly. "What you just said is so true. The more capable a man is, the more humble he is. He can stand on his own outside and is the pillar of the family at home."

"Yes." Jiang Yuan nodded gently and asked with a smile, "What pets does Auntie keep?"

"My pet might be a little different from others." Hua Kai Fugui smiled slightly, got up and walked to a room. "Host, I have a monk parakeet."

After she finished speaking, she turned the camera to the monk parrot standing on the branch, saying, "This is Xiaoxiao."

A small, pale yellow bird, very beautiful.

Of course, the price is also very high.

[Rich Auntie!]

Is this the parrot's room? Waaah, I'm not even as good as a bird... I have to share a room with my sister!

Can a parrot-themed livestreamer work?

This viewer also expressed concern about the "flower blooms and wealth" phenomenon: "Host, can you communicate with the parrot?"

Jiang Yuan calmly replied, "Okay."

As the "Flower Blossoms and Wealth" parrot drew closer, its bright yellow feathers were magnified in front of the camera.

"I won't dare again!" the parrot suddenly cried out. "I'll never dare again!"

【Huh? Is that a parrot talking?】

What are you afraid to do?

Hua Kai Fugui's gentle voice slowly rang out: "Here's what happened. A while ago, my husband and I went on a trip and gave our housekeeper a break. Xiaoxiao stayed at my daughter's house for half a month. After we brought her back, Xiaoxiao kept saying these few sentences."

She turned the camera back to her own face and said seriously, "Answerer, could you please ask Xiaoxiao why she always says that?"

Xiaoxiao is a talking parrot; it must have learned these phrases at its daughter's house.

Who is afraid?

When asked about the phrase "flowers bloom and wealth arrives," her daughter said that Xiaoxiao learned it from television.

But she always had a feeling of unease. A few days ago, a friend told her about an online streamer who could communicate with animals, and suggested she consult him.

Hua Kai Fu Gui had sent Jiang Yuan a private message, but it remained unread. He never expected to be able to connect online today.

It really is the Bodhisattva's blessing.

“Okay,” Jiang Yuan said. “Have Xiaoxiao video call.”

Hua Kai Fugui quickly pointed his phone screen at Xiaoxiao, "Good girl, let this pretty older sister chat with you."

"Hello, Xiaoxiao," Jiang Yuan said gently. "I am Jiang Yuan. Your master asked me to ask you something."

The parrot smiled and stared at Jiang Yuan on the phone screen, blinking its beady black eyes, and said in a loud voice, "You're so beautiful."

[Hahaha, so that's what a parrot's call sounds like?]

[That really startled me!]

Jiang Yuan smiled. "Thank you for the compliment. You're very beautiful too. Can you tell me why you always say 'I wouldn't dare'?"

"This isn't what Xiaoxiao said," Xiaoxiao the parrot said loudly. "This is what Lily said, Xiaoxiao is just imitating Lily!"

"Lily?" A look of doubt appeared in Jiang Yuan's eyes. "Auntie, who is Lily?"

Hua Kaifugui revealed half of his face and explained, "Host, Lily is my daughter, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's slender eyebrows slowly furrowed, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Xiaoxiao said it was imitating Lily's speech.

"Learning from Lily?" Hua Kaifugui frowned, his heart skipping a beat. "How could Lily say such a thing?"

I suddenly felt uneasy.

There's definitely something fishy going on...

"Let me ask," Jiang Yuan's tone became more serious. "Xiaoxiao, why did Lily say those things?"

The parrot chuckled: "That's what Lily said when she got beaten up."

Jiang Yuan frowned and asked, "Who hit you?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Kaifugui's heart clenched, and he urgently asked, "What do you mean? Who was beaten?"

The parrot chuckled: "Lily was beaten by her husband. He liked to beat her when he was drunk. Every time, Lily would say she wouldn't dare to do it again."

Jiang Yuan looked at the worry on Hua Kai Fugui's face and pursed her lips. "Auntie, do you know that Lily's husband has violent tendencies when he's drunk?"

Domestic violence!!!

Domestic violence is terrifying...

"I don't know," Hua Kaifugui said, his face pale. "Did he hit Lily?"

Jiang Yuan nodded. "Yes, Xiaoxiao said he likes to hit Lili when he's drunk."

Hua Kaifugui's lips trembled, one hand clutching her chest, as she choked out, "Lily never told me any of this."

Jiang Yuan sighed softly to herself, "Maybe he was afraid you'd worry."

"This silly child!" Hua Kai Fugui was heartbroken. "We are her family, her support, her backing. She needs to let us know that we can protect her!"

[The aunt's reaction was so heartwarming. I remember my cousin's husband was also abusive before. She wanted a divorce, but her family was afraid that it would be too shameful for their daughter to get a divorce, so they advised her to just endure it and it would pass...]

[Seriously, are they family or enemies???]

Has your cousin found peace?

[It's a relief, I suppose. My cousin later committed suicide.]

[...I'm so sad.]

"Xiaoxiao," Jiang Yuan spoke again, "Why doesn't Lily tell her family about these things?"

The parrot, Xiaoxiao, actually knew what had happened. "Once, Lily wanted to call her mother, but her husband knelt down and begged Lily, crying, to give him another chance."
