Sun Chunxiang was fuming with anger at Zhu Yonghong.
She picked up a stick lying next to her and went to hit Zhu Yonghong, "You're a disgrace to our family and dare to talk back! I'll beat you to death today! Six for one cent, why not give them away for free then? Don't you treasure the money I earned? Do you know your brother doesn't even have his living expenses this month! You're such a waste! I'll beat you to death!"
In this era, university students were highly valued. If a family had a university student, it was almost like having royalty in the household..
As for daughters?
Daughters were seen as an expense, as they would eventually be married off.
So Zhu Yonghong quit school early, setting up a stall with her mother to earn living expenses for her brother.
"Mom, stop hitting!" Zhu Yonghong grabbed the falling stick, "Tomorrow morning I will earn back the money we lost today! I promise it won't affect my brother's living expenses."
