Chapter 800: Kindred Spirits

Watanabe Saki distributed the gifts to her sister and mom. On top of that, she also handed an envelope with cash is to her mom. Watanabe’s mom didn’t push back and gladly accepted the money her eldest daughter gave her.

This meant that Watanabe Saki had truly grown up, not only had she fully realized her financial independence, but she was also able to support her family of origin.

“Now, I don’t have to worry about your work. However, your personal problems, or to grasp. A woman’s most glorious time is just that period of time.

After it passes, there won’t be any more. When that time comes, falling in love and getting married will become even more difficult.” Watanabe’s mother looked at her eldest daughter and said.

“In Tokyo, there are more single women living alone. I, as a high-class white-collar worker in a metropolis in the twenty-first century, am no one’s cooking woman, much less a reproductive tool.”

Watanabe Saki raised her voice as an independent woman. The reason why her words are so resounding is that she has first gained financial independence herself.

The kernel of thought in The Second Sex, a sociological work by French thinker Simone de Beauvoir, is the guiding principle of true feminism, not that bullshit Chinese idyllic feminist nonsense.

She puts forward the necessity for women to gain economic independence, and also emphasizes that only a change in women’s economic status can bring about spiritual, social, cultural, and other consequences, and that only when there is a fundamental change in women’s consciousness of themselves can equality between men and women be truly achieved.

The Second Sex is divided into two volumes, I and II: Volume I analyzes the situation of women from the perspectives of biology, psychoanalysis, history, and the embodiment of women’s myths in literature.

Volume II, from the philosophical theory of existentialism, examines the real situation of women in all stages of life from birth, puberty, love, marriage, childbearing to aging, as well as in all classes such as peasant women, female workers, prostitutes, celebrities, or intellectuals, and explores the possible way out for women’s independence.

At this point, Watanabe’s younger sister was next to her and couldn’t wait to unwrap the gift from her own sister, realizing that it was the latest model of women’s cell phone.

Naturally, she couldn’t help but squeal in surprise when she saw it was her favorite. With a big smile on her face, she opened her arms and jumped on her sister, who was sitting on her side of the table.

Watanabe Saki was not surprised to be treated so warmly by her sister. Women know women best. Not to mention her own sister.

“Your sisterly bond is still so good, it makes even a mom like me feel very relieved.” Watanabe’s mom blurted out.

Watanabe Saki thought in her heart that although money wasn’t everything, it was nothing without it. Whether it was a family relationship or a relationship between people, a certain amount of money was always needed to maintain it.

Gifts naturally need money to be able to buy. The true role and value of gifts lies in acting as a lubricant in interpersonal relationships.

“Okay, okay. I’m getting out of breath from you.” Watanabe Saki said as she tried to break her sister’s arms that were holding her tightly.

Watanabe’s sister let go and couldn’t wait to play with this latest model of female cell phone in her hand by herself. She had no doubt that she would receive a great deal of attention from her friends after school.

The advertisements for the women’s cell phone were all over the place, and it had already become a new topic of conversation among high school girls.

There are a lot of high school girls who are secretly using it for sex. They know that asking their parents for money is not going to work. Instead of taking the initiative to get a scolding, it is better to find a way to get the money by themselves.

In some girls’ minds, using the latest model of cell phone was not only a way to stay on top of the trends and have the illusion of being superior, but it was also a way to satisfy their vanity.

“Saiki, not that mom is talking about you, why did you buy such an expensive gift for your sister?” Watanabe’s mom said, distressed that her eldest daughter was spending money frivolously.

“I’m also someone who came from my sister’s age. Older girls like her age naturally don’t like dolls anymore.

What they like are beautiful and fashionable clothes and shoes, cosmetics that can make them more beautiful, trendy cell phones that are essential to carry around, bags, and so on.

Your gift is also such a cell phone. Look at my cell phone, it’s the same as yours. All three of us, mother and daughter, use the same cell phone.

When I first bought it, I bought three of these phones in one go.” Watanabe Saki took the initiative to bring out her own cell phone and said.

“Your father would be upset if he knew you looked like this without his gift.” Watanabe’s mom couldn’t help but laugh and said.

“This is a woman’s cell phone, even if I gave it to my dad, he wouldn’t be able to use it. I also prepared a set of gifts for my dad a long time ago. An LV wallet and an LV belt.

Whether a man has taste or not, it still mainly depends on how the wallet and belt he uses.” Watanabe Saki said bluntly.

“Sis, you gave such nice things to dad, aren’t you worried that he’ll cheat on us and have an affair behind our mom’s back?” Watanabe’s younger sister blurted out while playing with her cell phone.

“What are you babbling about.” Watanabe’s mom stared at her youngest daughter in feigned anger.

“I call it a precautionary measure.” Watanabe’s sister said with her eyes still glued to the screen on her cell phone.

Watanabe Saki laughed dumbly and said, “That’s hard for me. Should I give Dad a gift or not? Or should I not?

If I don’t, Dad will never be happy. He worked hard to raise his daughter for over twenty years, spent so much money on her, and then forgot about him.

Give it! It’s unlikely that dad will wear and bring it along, and then he can go out and show off that it’s a gift that his own daughter brought back from Tokyo especially for him. Luxury brand, LV.”

“Sis, there’s no need to be embarrassed. You just give dad’s gift to mom. To give, or not to give, it’s all up to mom.” Watanabe’s younger sister said as she pressed the buttons on her cell phone with both hands.

“Is that really good?” Watanabe Saki said as she began to realize the happiness that a family should have.

“What’s wrong with it. Are you worried that mom will secretly transfer the gift you gave dad to her boyfriend?” Watanabe’s sister said without thinking at all.

“Damn girl, you’re getting out of line, opening your mouth and talking nonsense, what’s it like?” Watanabe’s mom was a little angry.

Watanabe’s younger sister immediately gave a Japanese apology gesture that had no sincerity, only formality, and said, “I’m sorry.”

As soon as her words fell, she was busy playing with her cell phone again. In her own mind, her parents were not as important as her friends at school.
