They can't venture out of Hakka towns like Meinung, and even need someone along to help just going to the post office or having pre-natal checkups at the hospital. After months of this, sometimes even the husband's family gets annoyed.
再加上她們只識得印尼文，只會講客家話，對中文和中國字一無所知，不只走不出客家鎮美濃，甚至連上郵局辦事、懷孕上醫院產檢都得要有人帶著；日積月累下來，有時連婆家的人都嫌煩。
