Synopsis

This book is also known as “Husband’s Sister Still Unmarried, Younger Brother’s Wife Urges the Whole Family to Throw Her Out!” (I hope my novel can be adapted for film or television! For that reason, I’ve temporarily made an animated short video of about three minutes for each of the novel’s first ten chapters. Since the copyright won’t belong to me until twenty years from now, I’ve only made animations for the first ten chapters...) The main idea: In a family with many children, a son is like a cuckoo. From the day he is born and comes to live at home, his sisters are destined to have nowhere to call home in the future. The institution of marriage encourages men to be coddled and supported by others, drives women who want independence into poverty, and lets men reap the benefits without lifting a finger. Their parents earn the money for their homes and cars, and women bear their children. If it were me, I’d want to be a man too. I’d want to enjoy all the benefits without doing a thing. The entire novel is written in the first person and told from multiple perspectives: [the elder sister’s perspective] + [an observer’s perspective, namely Qin Ling’s] + [the parents’ perspective] + [the younger brother’s perspective] + [the younger brother’s wife’s perspective] (I wrote her perspective in the short story section titled “Why I Fell into the Trap of Marriage”...) For daughters who grew up in families with both sons and daughters, having parents who favor boys isn’t the worst of it. Your hard times are still ahead! Because when your older or younger brother grows up, he’ll get married. You’ll have a sister-in-law, and her birth family will have sons too! She can’t get a share of the property in her own family, so she’ll marry into yours to take a share from you and your brother! People are motivated by self-interest. Don’t underestimate what they’re capable of doing for their own benefit! A husband and wife will try to persuade your parents to drive you out for their own gain!

Analyze the mentality of the sister-in-law who said in Chapter 9 "Encirclement and Suppression" that she is very polite to others but should be mean to her aunt: This contrast of "being polite to others and mean to others" is essentially the dual role of interest stance and social mask. It is often seen in the role mentality in family conflicts: On the one hand, being polite to outsiders is a "social need" - there is no direct conflict of interest with outsiders, and being polite can maintain her image of being "easy to get along with" and avoid causing trouble; but it is different with her aunt. In her eyes, her aunt is a "stakeholder who has lived with her for a long time." She may feel that her aunt "occupies the resources of her brother's family" (such as living at home and using her water to boil), and regards her as a "potential trouble or threat", so she no longer needs to be polite, which directly exposes her dissatisfaction with "resources being occupied". On the other hand, there may also be a "sense of superiority in the family role" at play - she feels that she is the "sister-in-law" and one of the "mistresses" of the family, while her aunt is a "temporary resident from outside". Therefore, in her "home field", there is no need to restrain her temper towards "outsiders". Instead, she will use a mean attitude to draw "boundaries" to prove her right to speak in this family. To put it simply, being polite to others is "pretending to be decent to outsiders", while being mean to your aunt is "a true reaction to safeguarding your own interests and position internally". This contrast is particularly close to the conflicting mentality of some families in reality.

Thinking about this social problem from multiple dimensions, the daughter's psychological analysis is good, the son's perspective can be more profound, but it still points out the root of the problem. The ending ended quickly and I didn't get enough of it.

Yes, but the alien experiment is a bit abrupt. Qin Ling, the bystander, could be portrayed better.
