Stubborn Prejudice

Dad said he had finally saved 11,000 yuan for my dowry. I felt bad for him and urged him not to work himself too hard.

But then I heard from a neighbor that he had saved 200,000 yuan for my cousin's bride price and 300,000 yuan for the down payment on a home.

I angrily confronted him, but he said nonchalantly, “A girl can't support you in your old age or see you off when you die.”

Suddenly, I felt at peace. It seemed ridiculous that I had spent more than ten years trying to change his mind.
