Chapter 1600: Preferring Boys over Girls

"You don't want to think this way. Your daughter can't make money now, but she's in school. When she graduates and gets a decent job, you'll be able to enjoy your life."

The old lady patiently advised, after all, children like Xiao Li are in the minority. Children should study hard and find a decent job after going to college. Even if they want to start their own business, they must be educated, right?

It is not easy for people who are illiterate to start a business.

"You must not be short-sighted when raising children, you must take a long-term view. You cannot feel bad just because you have invested in tuition now. You should just treat the money as deposits in the bank. When your daughter makes a career, won't you get your money back?" "

The old lady made a funny analogy. Aunt Xu was amused, but soon she became sad again. She sighed slightly and said sadly: "I don't ask for anything. I just ask that this girl can find a job in Pingjiang, and then find another one." A down-to-earth man leads a prosperous life, and my face also shines."

"Most definitely!"

The old lady heard what Xiao Li said about Aunt Xu's family situation, and understood Aunt Xu's mood very well.

"Old madam, you are blessed with good fortune and longevity, so what you say will definitely be effective. I'd like to thank you for your good wishes." Aunt Xu's worries turned into joy.

"Ha ha……"

The old lady laughed heartily. She loved hearing auspicious words the most.

Aunt Xu went to work in the kitchen, and Ye Qingqing asked about her daughter in a low voice. 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 his daughter to school, saying that her daughter would belong to someone else sooner or later, and he could not do a loss-making business. Aunt Xu My father-in-law also went to the post office to get the notice and hid it, just to prevent his granddaughter from going to college."

Ye Qingqing fell down in anger, "Why is this family like this? Isn't my daughter a human being? What age are we now, and they are still practicing feudalism? I'm so angry!"

What I hate the most is the preference for boys over girls. It’s not like the family has a throne to inherit, and besides, the palace has to give birth to a princess!

The old lady pinched her face lightly and said, "You have little experience, let alone the countryside. Even in Pingjiang, there are many people who prefer sons over daughters. A wife complains every day if she can't give birth to a grandson, like Aunt Xu who only gives birth to a grandson." She has three daughters and no status at home. Her man doesn't work every day and even beats and scolds her after drinking.

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't help her, and even said that her man was a good fighter.

She said she deserved to be beaten if she couldn't give birth to a son, and her family couldn't stand up for her. Even Aunt Xu herself despised herself. Alas! "

The old lady shook her head as she spoke. The saddest thing is that women themselves are often the ones with the most severe patriarchal mentality.

Ye Qingqing didn't know what to say, pity her misfortune, hate her for not fighting. She was talking about a woman like Aunt Xu. Even she herself favored boys over girls, and it was useless for others to stand up for her!

"Then how did Aunt Xu's daughter go to school?"

"Your Aunt Xu's daughter is quite violent. She took pesticides to her grandfather's house and said she would drink the pesticides if she didn't give her a notice. Later, the village chief was afraid of causing trouble, so he stepped in and asked the old man to take out the notice, but he didn't go to school. Aunt Xu borrowed all the tuition fees, and her man refused to pay a penny."

There was admiration in the old lady's eyes, which was why she wanted to see Aunt Xu's daughter. She liked girls who were independent and decisive.

"This girl is really amazing. I have to meet her tomorrow. There is also Sister Li. I haven't seen her for a long time." Ye Qingqing said with a smile.
