Ando's father looked at his two daughters with a stern face and sterned: "Can you have some ambitions? You should rely on your own efforts to realize your dreams, rather than through marriage."

The eldest girl said indifferently: "Dad, this theory you have accepted has been outdated for many years.

Today, our generation completely does not believe it. As we all know, Japan has long been a country with class solidification.

Although it is not a dream to achieve a class leap through personal hard work alone, it is also difficult.

Have you worked hard for most of your life and realized your dream? To this day, there is nothing at all! Even in the future, there is no possibility at all.

I remember you once told our three children that your dream when you were young was to drive a high-end sports car and take a ride along the beach with your beloved woman sitting in the co-pilot."

Ando's father was speechless. He had indeed said this to his three children more than once.

Not only does he have a memory of his past youth, but he also has a regret in life. He has never realized his ideal from beginning to end.

The younger sister who is in her youth rebellious period said with confidence: "The Japanese low-desire clan, the Nitte clan and other people are not a helpless choice forced by the current Japanese environment.

If they had chosen ones, who would have chosen those? I never believed that some people would not like the kind of rich people's life.

My sister and I don’t want to continue living this kind of life in the future, and we don’t want to be careful about our life like my mother. We either have to wait until the supermarket or convenience store is time to discount before starting to buy the goods we want to buy, or we are going to compete with a group of people for limited discounted goods.

Besides, my mother has been following my sister and I since I was a child. In the future, I have to marry a formal member of a big company. A government civil servant has a decent job, high welfare benefits, good income, and stable husband. Don’t find a formal member of a small company like you, Dad.”

Ando's father looked at his wife with an unhappy face and said, "Is that how you educate your two daughters?"

Ando's mother did not deny it, but said with confidence: "Is it possible? You hope that your two daughters will marry a man who is unstable in the future, either working as an hourly wage or being a dispatched employee, with a low income, poor welfare and not very decent job?"

Ando's father was tempted and avoided the important things and said: "As long as the other party is upright, has a clean family background, and loves our daughter wholeheartedly."

Ando's mother scoffed at his high-sounding words: "It's all said. When it's really done, how many people don't put men's economic strength in an important consideration?"

Masato Ando cut the opportunity and interrupted, saying, "Mizuki is one of the very few who has not considered my financial strength, but only looks at me."

Ando's mother retorted righteously: "Stop talking about it. How many people can be the daughter of a chaebol like Mitsuki?

If she is just the daughter of an ordinary working-class family, do you think she will not consider a man’s financial strength in the exam? She will still give priority to the selection of a spouse among formal members of big-hand enterprises, government civil servants... to search for such high-quality people."

Ando's father blurted out: "I know, you have always despised me for not being a formal member of a big-hand company. Since that's the case, how did you choose to marry me?"

Ando's mother said tit-for-tat: "I believed my parents and said that you are honest, even after marriage, you will listen to me and love me for the rest of your life.

They did not lie to me, nor did they say it wrong. However, they just mentioned the advantages of it, but did not talk about your shortcomings.

What's more, when we got married, it was the heyday of the Japanese economy, and a unique era when fools could find jobs.

Even a formal member of a small company like you can get a considerable income every month. So, I didn’t think it was anything at that time.

Who would have expected a series of Japanese economic bubble burst, credit card storm, Asian financial crisis in 1997, and global financial crisis in 2008?”

Ando's father suddenly raised his head and said, "Our company has not gone bankrupt yet!"

Ando's mother sneered: "It's not bankruptcy, but it has not grown and grown! Your current annual income is only one-third of the peak period in the past, why don't you say it?

If I hadn't had it been for the years that I had broken a yen into two petals to flower, it was wrong, it was three petals to flower, and I went to work part-time, our family would have been unable to live. Now that my son is going to get married, my head is too big.

At present, the average cost of a wedding in Japan is more than 4 million yen. This is what you add to my working income throughout the year. Do you know how much money our family can save in a year?”

Ando's father thought seriously and said, "No one million yen, but hundreds of thousands of yen are there!"

Ando's mother sneered again: "You eat when you go home, and go to take a shower when you are full. After taking a shower, you go to bed. Besides, what else have you cared about? You don't care about the price nor the expenses of your children.

The cost of the two daughters’ cram school, the part of the tuition and living expenses of my son…minus these, if our family can save hundreds of thousands of yen every year, I will wake up in a laugh even in my dreams.”

Ando's father showed a deflated look and said, "You can't save only 100,000 yen a year, right?"

Ando's mother stared at him with a weak look and said, "I'll tell you the truth. Our family can hardly save much money every year. If you have more than one hundred thousand yen, what are you thinking?"

Ando's father couldn't believe it: "I've paid all my salary to you! You only give me 30,000 yen of pocket money per month.

This includes my smoking, my money for drinking with colleagues, friends, and so on. I have never asked you for money again. Why did you spend it?"

Ando's mother was so angry that she said, "Do you really don't know? Or do you pretend to be stupid in front of the children? You obviously earn less, but you blame me for spending more.
