In the presence of such a wise and capable elder as Mrs. Zhou, Yue Xiaofang had nothing to hide.
She shared her thoughts completely and honestly.
"I'm thinking it would be best to find some skilled widows without reliance on a husband's family, unattached, along with girls who cannot marry due to their family's poverty, or women who have been sent back to their parental home by their husbands and are unwanted there," she said.
Yue Xiaofang sought these specific kinds of people not only out of kindness but also for a very important reason.
Only women without attachments and reliance truly understand how precious opportunities are.
Given even a slight chance, they would desperately strive with gritted teeth.
To grasp at a lifeline and pull themselves out of the mire.
The potential such people could unleash was also the greatest.
Whereas those women who had familial concerns sometimes tended more to think of their own families, even cleverly scheming to subsidize them.
