Su Xiaowan couldn't force it either. After all, her older cousin, Song Yongyu, was a girl who adhered to the traditional norms of "Three Obediences and Four Virtues". It was somewhat challenging for her to accept these new ideas. However, it was a good sign that she was open to pondering them.
Otherwise, as years went by, weren't there still many women in the modern society who abide by "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" and bore all the burdens and grievances?

No wonder those enlightened monks always talked about "comprehension". It started to make sense to Su Xiaowan that people perceive things differently based on their individual perspectives and levels of understanding.
Instead of wasting energy, it was better to take a nap.
