On Guangming Road alone, there are many girls who are unable to attend school because their families only send their brothers to school, not them.

After all, sending them to school requires paying tuition. Although the college entrance examination has been reinstated, everyone knows that getting into university guarantees a job and a secure livelihood.

But they still didn't want girls to go to school, believing that only boys could amount to anything.

Whenever Zhou Mei went out to play and saw girls who didn't go to school and could only stay at home to do chores and take care of their older and younger brothers, she felt very fortunate that her family was willing to let her go to school.

Zhou Mei is now very happy to be wearing the same sneakers and sportswear as her older and younger brothers.

That feeling of being treated equally is truly indescribable; those who have never been treated differently simply cannot understand it.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Lexin seemed to sense Zhou Mei's mood and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Zhao Lexin didn't have as many thoughts as Zhou Mei.

She was their only child when her parents were still alive. They gave her all their love and didn't neglect her materially.

Apart from the month or so after her parents passed away, she didn't suffer any hardship or experience any discrimination.

Therefore, she didn't feel it that deeply, and seeing Zhou Mei's expression, she didn't quite understand her thoughts.

Zhou Mei smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, I'm just very happy to have new clothes and new shoes again."

"I'm very happy too." Zhao Lexin was also very happy, and she told Zhou Mei about her plans for the new clothes and shoes without a care in the world, and talked about some funny things that only children would understand.

Zhou Mei's sentimentality didn't last long. After all, she was only ten years old and didn't have as many thoughts as adults. She was quickly attracted to something new and interesting.
