"Mother, you shouldn't always be so timid and fearful, people will bully us even more."
Xuexue disagreed with Madam Xie's advice, her face clearly showing dissent. In her past life, she followed Madam Xie's teachings on how to behave and handle matters. And what was the result? She faced a death by a thousand cuts, and her daughter was burned alive before her very eyes. Therefore, in this life, she didn't want to be kind anymore.
"And what can we do if we can't bear it? Our family doesn't even have a male to uphold our household, and it's just us three women left. Even if we can't bear it, we must."
That's how it was in the countryside, if there were no men in the family, others would look down on you. It wasn't so bad when Big Bull was around, but now that it was only the three of them, it was normal for Madam Xie to think like this.
"It's precisely because we have no men in our family that we need to be strong-minded, so others wouldn't dare to bully us."
