Perhaps it was because she had suffered many hardships in the first half of her life, but Ni Cuihua now had no great ambitions and was very content with her current situation.
"Mom," said Ni Yan, "a life without dreams is a life without purpose. I may be a commoner without grand dreams, but I just want to become a female tycoon and prove to the world that there's no difference between men and women. As long as one is willing to work hard, a girl can also make a name for herself."
Ni Cuihua herself had lived a painful early life due to a cultural bias preferring boys over girls, so every time Ni Yan made such a declaration, she felt a deep resonance.
Girls are no different than boys – they are not handicapped or deficient in any way. Why should they receive unequal treatment?
Ni Cuihua continued, "I understand the principle you're talking about, but 480,000 yuan is no small sum. I hope you'll consider carefully."
