Read the passage from "Two Kinds.”

"You want me to be something that I’m not!” I sobbed. "I’ll never be the kind of daughter you want me to be!”

"Only two kinds of daughters,” she shouted in Chinese. "Those who are obedient and those who follow their own mind! Only one kind of daughter can live in this house. Obedient daughter!”

What cultural value is revealed through the mother’s words?

Answer:

Her mother only wants her to be obedient but she wants to pave her own path. Chinese culture has expectations for obedient daughter, daughters who follow the rules and what they are told.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the passage her mother states in paragraph two that there are only two kinds of daughters. She doesn't care if her daughter wants something different. When she shouts only two kinds of daughters in chinese she is giving out a phrase said by chinese culture.
