"He didn't bully me."
"He's fooling you."
"He did not!"
Xiao Shuju pointed her finger at Zhao Mengjin's face and said to the Old Madam Xiao, "Grandmother, aren't you going to say something? Isn't this girl acting foolishly?"
The Old Madam Xiao slowly spoke up, "Mengjin is still young and unmarried. You need to explain things to her properly, not just scold her." Then she turned to Zhao Mengjin, "What your third aunt says, you might not understand. Your third aunt isn't targeting him; she's saying that you are immature and don't understand the gravity of marriage. A woman should marry rich, not poor, and there's a reason for that. When the day comes that you have children with him, and he can't even earn enough for the baby's formula, and you have to work while in confinement to support the child, then you'll know what it means to call for help in vain and you'll regret marrying someone like that, wishing you could dig out your own eyes."
