Qiao Yin glanced at her and her eyebrows furrowed slightly, “You’re only sixteen, shouldn’t you still be in high school? Aren’t you going to school?”
“Grandma says that it’s pointless for a girl to go to school, and that I should start working early to earn money to support my younger brother. When my brother grows up, he will be our support. I want to earn money. Cousin, could you help me find a job? I’ve heard that you’re very capable.”
Listening to her young voice, looking at her immature face, Qiao Yin felt a surge of indignation, her eyes flashing with anger, “The old woman’s favoritism is absurd. So, only her grandsons are considered human, not her granddaughters? She’s still so young. Yet, you’ve instilled in her the notion of raising her younger brother! She’s still underage and should be at school, not working to support her brother!”
Dou Yuemei, however, did not think there was anything wrong with that, “What’s wrong with supporting her brother? As their older sister, isn’t it expected of them?”
“Even after going to university, you still have no understanding of filial piety. You’re just arguing with me, and even refuse to call me grandma, you call me ‘old woman’. If other people hear this, don’t you think you’d be the laughing stock?”
“In my opinion, you should not have gone to university. What use is it? I heard your dad say the Lu Family is looking down on you for having no manners or discipline. Your husband is even considering divorcing you.”
“What’s the point of a girl going to school? She won’t be competing for top spots. Naturally, she should work to earn money, to support the family, and to support her brother!”
Qiao Yin, furious to the point of a headache, retorted: “As their older sister, it’s not her duty to raise her brother. That’s her parents’ responsibility! Girls also have the right to receive an education, they can even aspire to become the top student, just like I was the top scorer in our city’s university entrance exam!”
Dou Yuemei was taken aback, “You were the top scorer in the university entrance exam?”
“I was!”
Qiao’s three sisters were also astonished, looking at Qiao Yin.
They understood the significance of being the top scorer in the university entrance exam better than the old woman. They had never expected that their stunningly pretty cousin would have such exceptional academic results!
Dou Yuemei stammered, “You, you were the top scorer, how come I never heard your dad mention it? You, you’re not lying to me, are you?”
“Because he simply doesn’t care about me, he has no idea about my exam score. Apart from times when he’s short of money and remembers that he has a daughter like me, otherwise, he barely remembers I exist! Go ask him how old I am, when’s my birthday, I bet he doesn’t know!”
“Nonsense, your dad has always loved you! He’s a grown man, naturally, he won’t remember birthdays. He even forgets his own birthday. After all, he’s so busy with work, you should understand and be considerate!”
“What I’m trying to say is not about that, but that you shouldn’t force these girls to drop out of school and work! They should be studying, they should be attending college!”
Dou Yuemei finally recovered from her shock, she scoffed, “Isn’t education expensive? Do you know how much financial pressure it would put on the household if all four of them, the three girls plus their brother, were to attend school? Your aunt is continuously sick and cannot do anything, everything depends on your uncle. Are you trying to work him to death?!”
“Then don’t have so many children! Wouldn’t he have an easier life if he only had one child?!”
“What do you know? Your uncle doesn’t have a son, of course, he has to keep having children until he has a son. Without a son, people would ridicule him!”
Looking at her, Qiao Yin felt sad: “No wonder they’re named Lai Nan, Zhao Nan, De Nan. It turns out that everything is for the sake of having a son. Girls born into your family don’t even have a proper name. How pitiful.”
“If you think they’re pitiful, then help them find jobs. We don’t have any particular requirements, just a job that pays well, ideally several tens of thousands a month. They’re all hard workers and willing to do any job.”
Qiao Yin responded coldly, “Do you think jobs are so easy to find? I don’t have the capability to arrange jobs for them that can pay tens of thousands a month!”
