Yang's mother's face was filled with an inescapable cloud of sorrow and despair.
Yang Xuechang frowned deeply: "I'll figure out a way to get the money."
Yang's mother sighed deeply.
"Oh, if it were a boy, we would sell everything we own to save him. It's such a pity it's a girl..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xuechang became furious: "Mom, what do you mean? What's wrong with a girl? Isn't she my own flesh and blood? Does that mean I can just not save her?"
Yang's mother, Dayue, had never seen the usually mild-mannered Yang Xuechang so angry. She was startled and quickly grabbed his shoulder, saying:
"I didn't say we wouldn't help, it's just that our family's circumstances don't allow it."
Yang Xuechang's chest heaved violently, his anger flaring even more.

"Mom, this is a new society now! You should have thrown away your old ideas about sons over daughters long ago! And you call yourself an advanced worker! Did you learn nothing about equality in the factory?"
Yang's mother patted his shoulder, trying to suppress his anger: "Alright, alright, it's all my fault! Keep your voice down, or Shanshan will cry again if she hears you!"
Yang Xuechang took out a few bills from his pocket and handed them to his mother: "Mom, here's fifty yuan. Take it and spend it as you need. The school donated a lot of money to me, so it should last for a while. Don't worry too much. Take good care of yourself and Shanshan."
Yang's mother accepted the money, then cautiously glanced into the ward. Seeing that Duan Meishan was still unconscious, she murmured:
"Sigh, Shanshan is a good girl in every way, except she's stubborn. She insisted on going to university even with her big belly. If she had listened to me and stayed home to take care of her pregnancy, this wouldn't have happened."
Yang Xuechang's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
"Mom, Shanshan did nothing wrong in this whole thing. The fault lies with Zhao Yanyan. What does it have to do with whether Shanshan goes to college or not? Does that mean girls shouldn't go to college and should just stay home to have children and cook? If she were really that kind of unambitious girl, I wouldn't even look at her!"
Afraid of upsetting her son, Yang's mother quickly changed the subject:
"Alright, alright! I won't say anything more! I'll go to the market and buy a chicken for Shanshan to make soup. I know someone from my hometown who works at the cafeteria here; he can find a place to cook for me."
Watching his mother's thin figure disappear into the corridor, Yang Xuechang felt both heartache and sorrow.

Shen Jingyan realized that Yang's mother wasn't a bad mother-in-law; it was just that the older generation's ideas weren't so easy to change.
