True Lady's Identity Is Revealed

"Erya, tell Ms Xi that you like reading, right?"    

Erya was silent for a long time before nodding her head and softly said. " Yes, I like it very much."    

"Then, why do you like it?"    

After Sheng Chuxi finished speaking, Erya's eyes lit up.    

"Because through the book, I know a lot of things that I did not know before. The book said that the outside world was very beautiful. I have never left this place before. If I have the chance, I would like to take a look outside..."    

Her tender voice was filled with anticipation towards the unknown.    

However, as she spoke, her expression became dispirited again.    

"But, it's useless for me to like it. My mother said that for us mountain people, studying is useless. It would be better to help our family members work earlier... So, she won't let me go."    

Sheng Chuxi looked at the small head that hung low and felt her heart ache.    

"It's not like that, Erya -"    

She said softly.    

"I know a very excellent senior. His name is Chung Songran. His hometown is like this, in the remote mountains. However, not only did he walk out of the mountains by studying, he also went to a top university in the world to study... After graduating this year, he even stayed at the National Research Institute and became a very powerful person."    

" Erya, studying is useful. You can walk out of the mountains through it. You can see a wider world and become a better and more useful person. Just like the story I told yesterday, like my senior Chung Songran. "    

Erya bit her lips and said softly," But the person you said is a man, and I am just a girl. Mother said that a girl is born without a boy to have a promising future... So, my brother has books to read, but I haven't..."    

Sheng Chuxi was stunned when she heard that.    

"Erya, you still have a brother?"    

Erya nodded, "Yes, my father is working outside to earn money. My younger brother is following him to school."    

Sheng Chuxi pursed her lips.    

With the improvement of recent years, the status of women became higher and higher. Many of the wealthy families in the Imperial Capital inherited the family business of the outstanding rich young lady. The Sheng family valued women more than men and treated her as their only girl as a treasure.    

However, in this world, there were still many cases of favoring males over females, especially in mountainous areas like this. Girls were born to get married, and then the betrothal gifts were used to subsidize their elder brother or younger brother.    

In such an environment, it was naturally a waste of resources to study for girls.    

As a girl, she deeply hated this phenomenon.    

Sheng Chuxi squatted down and looked into Erya's clear eyes.    

"Erya, did you forget what I said yesterday? Every girl is a unique and precious treasure. Girls are not worse than boys. As long as you work hard, girls can be better than boys! "    

" Sister never lies. In this world, there are many such examples. Erya, you can also become such a girl."    

Erya's eyes slowly lit up.    

In the next second, she bit her lips again. "But, Ms Xi, my mother, she..."    

Sheng Chuxi thought about it.    

"Where is Eldest Sister now?"    

Erya said, "My mother went out to buy things. At this time, she should have already returned home."    

"Then we will go home now." Sheng Chuxi smiled and patted Erya's head, "Don't worry, Eldest Sister will definitely let you study."
