SHE LIVE STREAMS MODERN LIFE TO ANCIENT PEOPLE AFTER FAILING TO CONQUER THE EMPE

Chapter 42: Modern selling daughters for dowry

Chapter 42
After consoling the Female Student, the Teacher turned to Gu Sang: "Did you need something, Gu?"

"Teacher, you previously suggested that I change majors and said the film major would be good. Can I take a leave of absence now?"

"I just received an invitation for a TV drama and need to go for troop training exercises. As for how long the leave will be, it depends on the schedule."

The faculty member's eyes flashed with surprise.

Wasn't it said that it was very difficult to land a TV drama role?

It had only been a few days, and this student had already been cast in a drama? And it required training exercises, clearly a major investment production!

"You can, just fill out this leave of absence application."

Before Gu Sang could start writing, suddenly a plainly dressed rural couple rushed in.

Their rough hands and feet showed they often did farm work.

The man was probably around fifty, his face betraying the hardships life had dealt him.

As soon as he entered, he impatiently scolded the Girl who had been crying: "Why are you so slow! It's been half a day, and you still haven't finished the withdrawal paperwork."

"Are you done yet? We'll miss the train if you're any later."

Those words made Gu Sang put down her pen.

She frowned, looking towards the rural couple and the Girl.

The ancients watching the livestream also stopped their musings about the modern world and stared at the screen.

The Girl sat on the sofa, constantly wringing her school uniform in her hands. Her reddened eyes showed her resistance and struggle against withdrawing.

"Mom, Dad......" she said timidly, mustering her courage. "I... I want to study. I don't want to drop out and get married so young."

"I absolutely won't marry someone from out of town. I'll be good, and after I start working and earning money, I'll help my brothers save up for down payments."

"Dad, I don't want to marry that man..."

However!

The words the Girl had resolved to say from her heart did not move the Man. Rage spread across his face, and he took a stride towards her, raising his calloused hand to slap her!

Slap!

The room fell silent when that slap landed.

The concubines watching the livestream felt their hearts sink as they saw the Girl's swollen cheek and her dimmed spirit...

"Worthless thing! What's with all this studying?" the Rural Man scolded as he dragged the Girl up from the sofa by her wrist. "A woman doesn't need to study so much. In the end, you'll just get married anyway and be a bargain for the groom's family."

"Don't think just because you went to some rinky-dink university that you can fly. I'm your dad, and I still have authority over you!"

"In the countryside, girls your age already have two kids. I've already negotiated the bride price, and today you have to come back with me! I don't want you getting too wild from all this studying and then refusing to marry out of town when the time comes."

"......"

For many poor rural families, parents are afraid of losing control over their children and marry their daughters off at a young age.
