Li Su thought she could no longer help at home if she went to medical school. 'What if my sisters can't get a hot meal when they get home from work?'
She knew her sisters were earning and paying for the food and expenses at home. Since their parents were no longer around, the siblings were more sensitive and sensible.
Li Mei knew her second sister was just as sensitive as her and easily overthought things. She said, "If you can learn something, you will benefit from it in the future, Li Su.
"Since your sister and I can earn money, you don't need to do anything at home. You should go and learn instead. Also, Xiaoshuan heard that the classes would be free, so we won't have to pay any tuition fees.
"It's just that you'll be learning with boys, so it might not be good for your reputation. Still, reputation is nothing since you'll benefit from learning such a skill. Then you'll carry yourself with confidence, no matter what."
