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

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?)
