Chapter 781: Family Life
Miyazaki Ryui used his key to open the door to his own fancy apartment on Azabu Juban Street. He walked to the foyer to exchange the leather shoes on his feet for slippers.
The lights inside his home were on and the meal was prepared by someone who wasn’t the least bit surprised himself; after all, he and Yuko Yonekura were married.
Yuko Yonekura left her small school located in her hometown in Aomori Prefecture. Now, she lived with her husband and became a president’s wife and full-time wife that was the envy of many, many people.
It didn’t take long for the microwave to heat up the meal. Miyazaki Ryui sat directly in front of the dining table and ate while saying in a purposeful manner, “In two days, I’ll be going on a business trip.
This trip will take at least ten days and half a month. First, I’m going to Osaka Prefecture in Kansai, then Kochi City in Shikoku, then Fukuoka City in Kyushu, and finally, I’m going to Sapporo City in Hokkaido.”
Yuko Yonekura, who had already eaten, accompanied and sat across from him and said, “Your business trip this time is a bit long, and I’m sure it’s quite hard.”
“It doesn’t matter to me how hard the journey was. Is there any work that isn’t hard? After this trip, many people will have to lose their jobs.
The chairman sent me and the group’s head of legal affairs, Takahashi Kazuya, to merge the five logistics companies under Hard Gold Denshi into a new logistics company. That was one aspect.
On the other hand, the chairman also sent group publicity chief Ryosuke Natsume to lead a team to the United States to inspect and negotiate the latest artificial intelligence-enabled logistics distribution assembly line, as well as various supporting equipment.” Miyazaki Ryui said bluntly.
Yuuko Yonekura understood what her husband meant. Some people would be laid off due to the establishment of the new company, after all, it was the redundant and overlapping functions that were no longer needed.
Others would have their jobs replaced by machines. Either way, it was the company’s attempt to reduce staff and increase efficiency. For some individuals, losing their jobs would be like a bolt from the blue.
“It was I who took the initiative to submit that report on the latest artificially-intelligentized logistics distribution assembly line from the United States towards the President.
It was because of this one incentive that contributed to the chairman’s determination to merge the five logistics companies under Hard Gold Denshi into a single one, thereby dominating the entire domestic logistics industry in Japan.” Miyazaki Ryui had a word to say.
“I can’t help you in any way with the matters above your work. The work I can do right now is hygiene, cooking, and other such minor things at home.
Since you’re going to be traveling for such a long period of time, I’ll take this opportunity to go back to my hometown as well.” Yuuko Yonekura said as she shared her thoughts.
“That’s fine. You can stop by my mom’s place and say hello to your parents and my mom for me. At that time, you’ll bring back some more things.
You can’t get some of the good stuff from Tokyo over in Aomori back home, so leave them some more money.” Miyazaki Ryui calmly said.
“I know what to do? You don’t need to give more instructions.” Yuuko Yonekura was perfectly capable of doing so. His family’s two sisters were trouble, and his own little brother and sister-in-law were likewise a nuisance.
The Miyazaki family’s youngest sister was still not doing any work, determined to carry out the ultimate idea of staying at home as a deadbeat to the end.
As for the Miyazaki family’s eldest sister, she was staying at her mother’s house with her two children. The money she earned from her occasional odd jobs was not even enough to cover the pocket money of the three of them.
As for the living expenses given by her ex-husband, it is also a drop in the bucket. Not long ago, there was a rumor that he wasn’t going to give any more, after all, even he was unemployed.
What’s more, the economic environment of Japan as a whole is not good, Aomori Prefecture is only part of the northeastern region of Japan, and is not an economically developed region, the unemployment rate is even higher.
Even for those who are not unemployed, the local income is also not high, and everyone is scrimping and saving to live a tight life. Many of Aomori’s young people came to Tokyo to work.
My own little brother hadn’t even been working at his dad’s factory for long before he was clamoring to get married. So they got married!
The two families had been neighbors for a long time and had agreed to the marriage. Little brother has a job, can make money, although not much, but still quite enough for two people.
The beginning of this is fine, but after the wedding on all changed. He began to yell that the work is tired, long hours, money is so little, difficult to support the family and so on all out of the problem. He either drank or went to Pachinko parlor.
According to him, it was to reduce stress. The couple’s living expenses are never given to their parents, rely on the home inside the white food, drink and live. Their sister-in-law, also do not go out to work. As for the reason, is unable to find.
Their own little brother and sister-in-law once no money, tight, will call themselves for all kinds of miserable crying. Now, it made her afraid of receiving calls from her own little brother and sister-in-law.
“Everyone envies me for being able to marry an executive of a big company like you. The truth is, we don’t live as good a life as they think we do.
There are certain amounts of money that you can’t even save if you want to in order to live decently and have the necessary social interactions. Prices and cost of living in Tokyo are high.
Not only that, but we still have a lot of mortgage payments to make every month. There’s nothing more helpless than the relatives of both of our families, as well as the various relatives back home.” Yuko Yonekura suddenly sighed heavily and said.
“Do you not have much money above hand? I’ll just give you some more.” Miyazaki Ryui couldn’t say a thing.
The situation between his own family and his wife’s family was clear in his heart. The two families originally had a little bit of kinship, and thus this kind of kinship, in turn, became multiple bindings.
However, he did not have a star and a half point of regret, after all, Yuko Yonekura is really a good wife outside the show. It was a blessing for himself to be able to marry such a good woman.
He also knew that not all the good things in the world could be taken up by himself. There were some bad things that were equally unavoidable.
Furthermore, he was still keeping a little one outside. This could not be guaranteed that he would feel that he owed her something in his heart, so he hoped to use money to make a compensation, so as to achieve a personal balance in his heart.
“I think! Isn’t it better to stop giving them money? Otherwise, they’ll never be able to stand on their own.” Yuko Yonekura suggested.
“We don’t give them money. By then, they’ll push the old people on both sides of the fence harder and harder. Could it be that you wish to see this kind of situation happen?” Miyazaki Ryui said presciently.
“What you’re saying also makes sense. The elderly have labored all their lives, and it’s not easy for them to be able to enjoy a peaceful life in their old age, so if this kind of thing were to happen to them, they wouldn’t be able to live well. It’s not so bad that we have to support them for the rest of their lives, right?” Yuko Yonekura said worriedly.
“You switch your mindset, just think of it as giving them the money to use to take care of the elderly in our home for us. It’s still a costly endeavor to find outsiders.” Miyazaki Ryui was very open-minded.
