"Your brother is a boy, he's the root of our Shen family! Don't you understand that?!"
"Your sister's already married! She's a money-losing daughter, what are you going to teach her?"
"Now look what's happened, your brother has someone else competing with him for business!"
He Caiping was genuinely dissatisfied. How could Shen Wenxiu prioritize her older sister over her younger brother?
Shen Wenxiu was so angry she laughed.
"Mom, don't forget, I'm also the 'money-losing daughter' you used to talk about."
"You're saying I shouldn't have taught my sister? You clearly don't care whether my sister lives or dies!"
"My sister was also born to you."
"So what? She's just a little girl, what's there to care about?" He Caiping didn't think there was anything wrong with her attitude at all.
Shen Wenxiu had some use to her, so He Caiping treated her fairly well.
Not only did his eldest daughter go to the countryside as an educated youth, but she also married a country boy, making her utterly useless.

"Look how strictly the family planning policy is enforced now, you can't even have another child if you want to."
"You've lost your mind. How can you only have two money-losing babies? Having a son is your only means of survival."
"If you had a son before or while you were in college, wouldn't things be better now?"
"Once you have a job, having more children than allowed will cost you your secure job. How could you be so stupid?"
"What's so good about two little girls?"
He Caiping, who has always favored sons over daughters, would never admit that her daughter is better than her son, nor would she admit that her son is inferior to her daughter.
They also firmly criticized Shen Wenxiu for not bearing a son, deeming her an unqualified woman.
