It doesn’t state the information either way. She may or may not work. Insisting that she doesn’t is YOU (and the original person I replied to) adding information. I accept that both options are possible. Can you?

No, your bias leans towards this. Careful, your misogyny is showing.
Maybe she goes into work earlier than he does, maybe she works from home, maybe she does shift work. There is nothing “baked in” to this scenario.
Where do you see it stated that she doesn’t work? Maybe that’s the best she can manage after a long day of work herself

They don’t understand the tech, just hear Win 10 will no longer be supported and their computer can’t run Win 11, so new PC.

You have to sing to the object to make your power work, with the required pitch dependent on the mass of the object. The larger the mass, the deeper the tone, with really small objects requiring very high pitched tones. You’re tone deaf and spend most of your time badly singing scales at objects, trying to figure out the correct pitch.
Agnostocism? 😂 If you were truly agnostic, you wouldn’t have started pushing your view.
As for logic 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t need to prove she definitely is working, that’s not how logic works. It’s sufficient that I can provide even one reasonable scenario under which she could be home earlier than him but still work full time, to disprove the statement that she doesn’t work. So here you go: maybe she works from home, so she cooked because she didn’t have to commute.
I get it - you interpret this scenario as evidence of her being lazy and/or incompetent. You want to buy into that, for whatever personal reasons of your own, so you ignore the facts:
The picture is misleading - the chicken is cooked, that colour is a sauce. You can tell if you look closely to the right of the chicken, and to the area below the chicken where the sauce comes onto the vegetables. So not only did she cook him chicken, she even made him a sauce with it.
The scenario is similarly presented in a misleading way to evoke an emotional reaction from the reader.
a) You only know about his coming home from work because that is what he chose to tell you. He wants you to identify with him, to remember that exhausted feeling after a hard day of work.
b) You know nothing about her circumstances. That allows the reader to inject their personal bias into the scenario, which you can see from the varied responses to the post. Your bias is toward a traditional provider/home maker relationship, which is why in your opinion such an opinion is “baked in” to the scenario. I don’t have that bias because I know too many women who work and still do the majority of the household work. My experience is not the exception - there is a tremendous amount of research on this topic.
So, maybe she works. Maybe she doesn’t work outside the home but recently gave birth to twins and hasn’t slept properly in weeks. Maybe she has a chronic illness that makes cooking difficult. Maybe she was never taught how to cook and is trying really hard to teach herself. Maybe that meal tastes amazing.
All I’m asking is that you see her as a human who maybe had a tough day too. To think critically and not just allow your emotions to be manipulated.
