Chapter 1002: How Stupid
Translator: Lonelytree
After knowing that the woman in the middle of the front row was An Xiaohui’s boss, many villagers looked in Xiao Lingyu’s direction as if they were looking at a rare animal. They were even discussing it among themselves.
“An Xiaohui’s boss is really a girl. She’s really beautiful,” a villager exclaimed. “She doesn’t look very old. She looks about the same age as Xiaohui, right?”
“She looks very young. She should be about the same age as Xiaohui.”
“A female boss of a company worth tens of billions. She’s about the same age as An Xiaohui. She’s even more promising than Xiaohui,” an older villager exclaimed, “With tens of billions of yuan, even if she doesn’t do anything, she can enjoy it for several lifetimes.”
An Xiaohui’s current appearance made the villagers envious, not to mention Xiao Lingyu, who was worth tens of billions of yuan.
“Looks like we can’t look down on girls anymore.” Some of the villagers’ thoughts changed quite quickly. “Who knows? These girls will be very promising.”
Someone agreed, “That’s right. If our An family village didn’t value boys so much in the past, we might have produced a few promising girls like Xiaohui.”
Ever since the state stipulated nine years of compulsory education, boys and girls had to go to school. However, it was unknown whether it was because boys were favored at home or because girls were discriminated against, but girls’ academic results were better than boys’.
In fact, many girls’ results in class and school were among the best.
It was a pity that not all girls were as lucky and brave as Xiaohui. After they graduated from junior high school, no matter how good their grades were, their families would not allow them to go to school, and then they would get married early.
If these girls were allowed to go to school, what would the An family village look like now? Could there be a few more promising people like An Xiaohui who had walked out of the mountains instead of a group of women who were imprisoned in the mountains and became farmers?
Perhaps it would not only change the fate of the girls, but it might also change the An family village.
Many people could not help but sigh in their hearts, thinking to themselves, ‘The idea of prioritizing boys over girls is really killing people.’
Of course, changing this kind of concept was not something that could be done in a short period of time. At the very least, it would require a certain amount of time and process for people to change.
Perhaps young people who received contemporary educational thoughts were more likely to change a little.
Of course, due to the impact of An Xiaohui’s wedding, some of the people in the An family village might send girls to school. However, they sent girls to school not because they had changed but because they believed that the girls would be able to earn more money and come back to serve the family.
In the end, the reason why they did this was for their sons.
It was needless to say that An Xiaohui’s wedding was grand, and An Xiaohui’s boss directly gave her a high-end car as a wedding gift, which shocked the villagers of the An family.
This boss was really too generous.
Xiao Lingyu’s 680,000 RMB gift directly occupied the first name on the gift list, which made everyone’s eyes wander.
What kind of luck did An Xiaohui have to meet such a good boss?
She gave Xiaohui such big gifts.
Then, apart from the other Xiao Xinxin’s gift of 180,000, the other gifts from An Xiaohui’s friends were also in the tens of thousands. This made the villagers of the An family, who had never seen the world, extremely envious.
After getting married, An Xiaohui’s family easily received over a million in gifts. This was money that they would never be able to earn in their entire lives.
The rows of cars, and heavy gifts, greatly added luster to the faces of An Dachun and his wife. They were so happy that they could not close their mouths.
In the past, everyone laughed at the fact that they only had one daughter and no son. In the future, no one would take care of them until they died.
Now, everyone envied them for having a good daughter and working in a big company. She earned a lot of money and was promising. With their daughter so capable, they had nothing to regret. In the future, they were just waiting to have grandchildren.
However, there was a small incident at the wedding.
An Dachun invited An Danian’s family to attend An Xiaohui’s wedding.
