Sunday, continued ...
When they returned to their hotel suite, Hou Yi had arranged a simple tea for them, and they sat on the couch eating it. Hou Yi turned to Anna and said "I am sorry about your mother today."
"Yi I should remember that she views me as the problem. As far as I can remember I have only met her parents about ten times in my life. There is no other way to describe it but say they belong to a cult. There mentality is the man is the head of the household and must always be obeyed. He controls what his wife and female children can do, so if he says no work or education they cannot do this. Female are taught from birth to submit to the demands and controls of the head of the household."
Now we understand Anna's mum somewhat - brainwashed to think that the male is the head of the household. Given Lu Jinhu's attitude, that made him the complete centre and in control of the relationship, it is no wonder that Anna's mum totally accepted him.
