Hao Weiguo was a good friend of Guofu. When Guofu was dating Mi Shufang, Hao Weiguo had been so worried that Guofu was being deceived that he had even written a letter to Yanyan, detailing the things Mi Shufang had done after heading down to the countryside.
Upon hearing this, Hao Weiguo said, "That’s not it. My mother simply dislikes that my wife is from the countryside."
Yanyan replied, "..." Fair enough. Many people were insensitive to such things. "Are you certain you won't divorce your wife?" Never mind those who had passed the college entrance exams; even among the educated youth who couldn't find a job after returning to the city, there were plenty who abandoned their rural wives and the children they had with them as soon as they returned.
