Chapter 3

Just over ten minutes ago, the poster had a new problem:

"My wife won't agree to my overseas assignment. She says there's no one to help take care of the baby. So annoying. Women are so short-sighted."

The advisor quickly replied:

"That's easy. First, work it out with your mom. Have your mom come help out."

"Once you leave, then have your mom find some excuse to bail."

"By then you'll already be overseas. What can your wife do about it?"

"The kid will be tied to her. She can't just abandon the baby, can she? In the end, she'll have to deal with it herself."

The poster was ecstatic, sending a string of praise emojis:

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! You really get it! I'll do exactly that!"

I felt my hands and feet go cold.

This was a coordinated attack against women.

Some netizens who couldn't stand it started cursing:

"Have some humanity!"

"Your wife just gave birth to your child and you're scheming against her like this? Did a dog eat your conscience?"

"What a time to be alive, even animals can pretend to be human now."

"Red flag! Stay away from this scumbag!"

Facing the criticism from netizens, the poster didn't immediately respond.

I thought maybe he felt guilty and didn't have the nerve to show his face.

But after a while, he replied.

He shot back at those criticizing him:

"What do you know?! Easy for you to talk when it's not your problem!"

"Do you know how much pressure there is in the workplace these days? I'm going out there to advance my career for this family!"

"Isn't it a woman's natural duty to take care of children? Isn't it tiring for me to earn money to support the family?"

"My mom worked hard her whole life. Helping out is a favor, not an obligation. What's wrong with that?"

"You say I'm scheming? I'm rationally allocating family resources. You're just jealous!"

His comments became more and more extreme and absurd, drawing even more angry criticism from netizens.

The thread grew rapidly, quickly turning into a fierce flame war.

Until one reply appeared:

"Screenshot taken. Everyone, stop arguing. The most important thing now is to make sure his wife knows about this."

"You'd better pray your wife never sees this post."

After this reply, the previously arrogant poster suddenly went silent.

A few seconds later, I refreshed the page.

The screen displayed:

"Sorry, the post you're trying to access has been hidden or deleted."

He panicked. I clicked into his profile page. It was completely blank, with default avatar and username. There was no useful information to be found.

But I wasn't worried. Those who should slip up will slip up eventually.
