Mother Bai couldn't understand how her daughter could underestimate the current changes in the world.
The situation was already like this; did Bai Meiyue think that she could do anything as long as she wanted? Mother Bai didn't look down on Bai Meiyue because she was a girl but as a village woman, she still couldn't shake off the old teachings that she learnt in the village.
Bai Meiyue was just a girl; no matter how strong she was, she couldn't be as strong as a man, could she? Why did she have to take the risks when she could have asked her brothers to do it for her? She was a woman and women were supposed to be pampered.
Not to mention her daughter went through something so terrible.
Mother Bai was worried that her daughter would take a step that she didn't wish for her to take and couldn't sit still when she realised that her daughter was not at home.
