"After you graduate, find a job and do it well."
“I didn’t raise you all these years so you could just freeload. If you don’t work and earn money, you’ll only be able to get married and get a dowry,” Chen Suwen warned her.
Zhou Min nodded, "I understand, Mom."
Ye Yulian looked at the mother and daughter with some envy. Her Jianhong had never been this close to her whenever he came back.
Even Zhou Ling, the daughter whom everyone said had been "sold" by Chen Suwen, was very affectionate towards Chen Suwen every time she came back.
As soon as Jianhong comes back, he asks her for money, or he ransacks her vegetable garden.
But there was nothing she could do; her daughter hadn't married as well as Zhou Ling.

"Exactly! A bride price of three hundred yuan, that's so much money to marry a daughter-in-law! Where would our family get the money to marry so many daughters-in-law?"
The family that said this had five sons. They were usually very proud of their ability to have children, but now they found that finding wives for their sons was the hardest thing.
