"What's the use of a girl reading so many books? Look around our village and tell me how many girls there are who study." Bai Xue Mei gave him examples, "Old Liu's Erni, the Women's Director's daughter Sun Hongxia… Haven't they all stopped schooling? Right, and the Party Secretary's eldest daughter, she didn't go to school either and heard she went to the city to work. She's working at the meat processing factory, room and board included, earning thirty yuan a month. Isn't she about to get married? Her fiancé is a city worker; that's quite prestigious! Is An Hao any less capable than them? If An Hao does well in the garment factory, maybe she could even become a leader. Doing well as a woman is not as good as marrying well."
Bai Xue Mei's words wavered An Shuchao's heart; he clutched his forehead and thought for a long time, "Give me another two days to think about it, will you?"
"What else is there to think about?" Bai Xue Mei couldn't wait for An Shuchao to agree right away.
