What does this mean, "You mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of woman who the baker won't let near the bread"?

All the way
through "" the mother alternates
between giving straightforward advice and delivering
lines that to an outside
might sound close to abuse. The listening girl protests against the
latter
comments. The lines you asked about were said after one of the girl's protests, and
they
sort of sum things up. A woman who the baker lets near the bread is one
that he trusts, so the
mother finishes her speech by essentially topping her
daughter's last protest and saying,
"You mean you won't be a woman he
trusts?" (You won't be a woman who is and appears

good?)
