After hearing what Dandan said, Lin Xue and the others wanted to tell her not to say that, after all, it couldn't be so realistic.
But unexpectedly, the parents who had never listened to them no matter how many times they said it were actually able to think about it calmly when they heard these words.
"Doctor Luo, do you think if I go to school, will she really understand and repay me in the future?
Wouldn't that mean I wouldn't have to get married when I'm old enough, then serve his family and continue giving birth like a sow."
It's not that she hadn't thought about a different ending for her daughter, but so many years had passed, and her thoughts had long been brainwashed. She felt that this was the fate of every girl, and that this was the same for every girl.
If there really was another ending as Dr. Luo said, then would her daughter have lived a better life?
"Mom, I will definitely repay you in the future, please believe me. When I learn knowledge and find a good job, I will send all my salary back home. I will take care of my brother, and my sister will do her best to enjoy herself. Please let me go to school."
The little girl also came over and knelt down in front of her parents. She really wanted to study and learn! She wanted to know how big the world outside was.
"But if you leave, who will do the housework?"
Her younger brothers and sisters are still very young. The older one is only five or six years old, and the youngest one is three and one year old.
The reason why she suffered so much back then was because she couldn't get pregnant for a long time after giving birth to her daughter.
Life is really hard for women. They have to give birth to children all the time and support the family, but men are nowhere to be found.
Does she really not want her daughter to live this kind of life again?
"I'll come back after school and do it. You can leave the work I'm supposed to do to myself. I can come back after school to cut grass and feed the pigs. I'm fine with that."
As long as she can study, it doesn't matter if she has to work a little harder, she can do it.
"I wonder how much the tuition is at school? What time does school end every day?"
The parents here looked at the old principal with a hint of hesitation, but for the old principal and others, this was already good enough.
If it weren't for Dr. Luo, they might not even have this opportunity.
"Our school hours are very convenient, from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m., so everyone can come back after this time. Our school is right at the foot of the mountain, so it's very close."
Children in the mountains have to get up very early, usually at five or six o'clock. They can do some work until 8 o'clock, and start studying immediately after arriving at school. After school at 4:00 in the afternoon, they can also help the family.
"You don't have to worry about tuition fees. Our school provides subsidies for poor families, and we also have scholarships."
The principal was afraid that parents would not let their children go because of tuition fees, so he quickly followed suit.
"What is a scholarship?" After hearing this, the parents also wanted to ask more clearly.
"For children with good character and academic performance, we will give them certain rewards."
Upon hearing this, the parents' eyes lit up and they were a little surprised.
"So what you're saying is that if my child studies well, she can get a reward, which means she can earn money, is that right?"
If that's the case, then she would still be very willing for her children to study. Why not do something that can make money?
"In principle, this is correct, but there might be many outstanding children, so..."
"It's okay, it's okay. I have confidence in my child. If that's the case, I'm willing to let her go to school."
I hope that I can change her future and make her life better. No matter what the reason is, I always hope that my children can be better.
When Rodan left their house, he harvested another cucumber.
They continued walking, and when they got to the next house, many people would not ask them to leave the moment they saw Rodin. Rodin would talk to them first, and then allow the principal to persuade them with emotion and reason.
Their efficiency has been greatly improved. During this home visit, a total of 10 children were able to attend school. This result was really a surprise to the old principal and others.
When the two of them went to visit the homes of their children before, the parents either said that there was something going on at home or that there was no need for girls to study and simply kicked them out without giving them a chance to speak.
"Dr. Luo, thank you so much for traveling with us to so many places today. Because of you, so many parents are willing to give us a chance to listen to us."
"In fact, those parents know that studying is good, but often they can't make up their minds. They have countless reasons to tell their daughters that they don't need to study. At this time, we need to be flexible and start from the aspects that they want."
No parent doesn't love their child. Of course, if they do, they won't dislike money, but they might be afraid that it's not available now. But if you tell them that they can receive more betrothal gifts after they finish their education, they'll be happy to do so.
In fact, this method is not very good, but under such circumstances and in such an era, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Rodin and others.
Special methods should be used in special times. Even if this method is not so good, it is good as long as it can give those girls some opportunities, isn't it?
If they have a better future, they will get more. In other words, they are grateful for their parents' upbringing, so shouldn't they give back to their parents in the future?
Before leaving, Rodin said something to the girls one by one.
"You should thank your parents for giving you this opportunity. Don't blame them for not wanting you to go to school. In fact, in this era, every generation has the same mindset.
You can't say your parents are wrong. It's really not easy for them to raise you. If you have a good future and a good job in the future, please don't forget the kindness of your parents in raising you.
Similarly, you must believe in yourself. You can do it. As long as you can read, you will understand things. In the future, your thoughts will be greatly inspired and your ideas will be different.
We must believe that each of you is the best and will have a bright future.
Even if you feel like you can't continue studying or your grades aren't great, it doesn't matter. You must strive hard and not leave yourself with too many regrets. You can learn a skill; studying isn't the only path in this world. But if we don't study hard, we won't have a good future. We must learn more and develop a skill.
Originally, this world had no roads. As people walked more and more, roads appeared. I believe you will carve out a path for yourselves."
