"You don't think so. Now your daughter can't earn money, but isn't she in school? When she graduates and has a decent job, you can enjoy it."
The old lady patiently persuaded that children like Xiao Li are a minority after all. Children still have to study hard and find a decent job after they are admitted to university. Even if they want to start their own business, they must be educated, right?
It's not so easy for people who don't know a bunch of big characters to start a business.
"Training children can't be short-sighted, you have to take a long-term view. You can't feel distressed because you have invested in tuition now, you just think that the money is in the bank, and when your daughter is promising, won't you get the money back! "
The old lady used a humorous analogy, Aunt Xu was amused, but soon became worried again, she sighed slightly, and said in a loss: "I don't ask for anything, I just want this girl to find a job in Pingjiang, and then find another A man who is down-to-earth, has a prosperous life, and there is light on my face."
"Most definitely!"
The old lady listened to Xiao Li about the situation at Aunt Xu's house, and understood Aunt Xu's mood very well.
"Old Madam, you are blessed with good fortune and longevity, and what you said must be effective. I borrow your good words." Aunt Xu turned her worries into joy.
"Ha ha……"
The old lady laughed and listened to the auspicious words the most.
Aunt Xu went to work in the kitchen, and Ye Qingqing whispered about her daughter. She didn't know that Aunt Xu had a daughter who went to school here!
The old lady sighed, "Studying at Pingjiang Normal University, she was the first girl in Aunt Xu's village to be admitted to university, but Aunt Xu's man was unwilling to send her daughter to school, saying that sooner or later her daughter would be someone else's home, and he could not do business at a loss, Aunt Xu Father-in-law also went to the post office to get the notice and hid it, just not letting his granddaughter go to college."
Ye Qingqing fell to her knees in anger, "Why is this family like this, isn't the girl not a human being? It's all over now, and you still engage in this feudalism, it's mad at me!"
What I hate the most is the preference for sons over daughters. There is no throne to inherit in the family, and the palace has to give birth to a princess!
The old lady pinched her face gently, "You girl has little knowledge, let alone the countryside, even in Pingjiang, there are still many people who prefer sons to daughters, daughters-in-law complaining every day if they can't give birth to grandchildren, like Aunt Xu who only gives birth to children. With three daughters, she has no status at all at home. Her man doesn't work every day, and even beats and scolds her after drinking.
Her parents-in-law didn't help her either She also said that her man was a good fight, that she deserved to be beaten if she couldn't give birth to a son, and her parents couldn't stand up for her, even Aunt Xu herself despised herself, Ugh! "
The old lady shook her head as she spoke. The saddest thing was that the most serious person was the woman herself.
Ye Qingqing didn't know what to say, pity her misfortune, hate her for not arguing, she is talking about a woman like Aunt Xu, even she herself is patriarchal, it is useless for others to stand up for her!
"Then how did Aunt Xu's daughter go to school?"
"Your aunt Xu's daughter is very strong. She took the pesticide to her grandfather's door and said that she would drink the pesticide without giving her the notice. Later, the village chief was afraid of making a big mess, so he came forward and asked the old man to take out the notice, but he went to school. Aunt Xu borrowed all her tuition fees, and her man wouldn't pay a penny."
The old lady has admiration in her eyes, which is why she wants to see Aunt Xu's daughter. She likes a girl who is independent and decisive.
"This girl is really amazing, I have to meet tomorrow, and Sister Li, I haven't seen her for a long time." Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
