Chapter 991: Gossips

An Family village was a very poor mountain village in a remote and inaccessible ravine.

The poorer a place was, the more closed and backward it was. This was especially true for people with backward thoughts, who preferred sons over daughters.

An Xiaohui was born in such a place.

In this ravine, the girls basically did not go to school.

When the nine-year compulsory education was not universal and compulsory, the girls here were basically illiterate. People only focused on boys.

Later, when the nine-year compulsory education was compulsory for every child, the villagers were very unhappy. This was because if the girl went to school, the family had one less person to do the work. Moreover, going to school also cost the family money. In addition, the family had a son who had to go to school, so the burden on the family suddenly became heavier.
