"I know... It's not him I'm mad at. It's just..."
Hu Ximei buried her face in the pillow, her voice choked with tears.
"Ji Huan, why can't girls go to school? I want to go too..."
"That question..." Ji Huan paused. "It's a bit complicated. It's not something that can be changed overnight, but we can start by changing ourselves..."
Ji Huan stroked her hair. "I'll be free soon. I can tutor you for the entire first month of the new year. I promise you'll catch up to Dacheng in no time, how does that sound?"
Hu Ximei mumbled sullenly, "And what's the point of learning?"
When Hu Dacheng studied, everyone envied and praised him.
But when they found out she was also studying, they all laughed behind her back and told their own daughters not to follow her example.
