Han Chuanzong was startled. "What does that mean?"
"That means your parents are villagers and they think like villagers. I'm sure many of your neighbors think like that too, right? They think that since your elder brother has no sons, he has no one to support him in his old age and be filial to him. His daughter has to be married off, so your elder brother will depend on you in the future. So it's his duty to support you. Right?"
Han Chuanzong pursed his lips and nodded. "Right. Many people here think like that."
Gu Ziang laughed. "So! I won't tell you directly whether your parents' thinking is true or false. Time will tell. But I can tell you that if you want to become like us and be like the more capable people in my circle, you have to think like us."
"What is your thinking like?"
"I think your elder brother has no obligation to support you. Even now, he isn't obligated to support your parents when they are not really old."
