Overheard

Can't believe my ears. I overheard this mother (who don't speak properly - probably those uneducated aunties) telling her daughter, who looks like in her 20s to me.

"mei(2) you(3) zuo(4) gong(1) you(4) zhe(3) me(2) yang(4)? You(4) bu(4) shi(4) jian(4) bu(4) de(2) ren(2) de(4) shi(4)."

The daughter mumbled something to her she said "bu(2) yong(4) jing(3). You (4) bu(4) shi(4) jian(4) bu(4) de(2) ren(2)."

Wah.... in my mind I am thinking she's such an encouraging mother, so encouraging enough to tell her daughter it's alright to be a bummer.
I'll kick chase my children out to work, not for monetary gains but for their self-worth.
