After Father Su and Mother Su left, the educated youths looked at their backs with various gazes. Some male educated youths sympathized with Su Anna for being forced to marry Da Gao, while most female educated youths gloated at her misfortune.
With her marrying Da Gao, their chances of getting close to male educated youths increased, which is what they had always wanted. From now on, they no longer need to watch Su Anna act so pretentiously in front of male educated youths to gain their sympathy and affection.
Not knowing that their daughter had a bad reputation among the educated youths, Father and Mother Su came to Da Gao's house.
At first, they also hoped that what the villagers and educated youths said were lies and that what their daughter said in the letter was the truth. But their hopes were dashed when they saw their daughter washing clothes at the well in Da Gao's house.
"Anna!" Father Su called in disbelief.
