Chapter 75 That is a light
At two-thirty in the middle of the night, Cheng Shengnan sat on the edge of the Pearl River, looking at the rushing river, tears flowing silently.
She works in a garment factory and is a reasonably skilled seamstress.
Although she is only twenty-six years old, she has been in the industry for almost ten years. Because of her good skills, her salary has always been the highest among the sewing workers in the factory.
Logically speaking, her life should be good.
However, she has a younger brother and parents who favor sons over daughters.
Every time it was salary day, her family would constantly call her to complain and ask her to send the money back.
A few years ago, the excuse for asking for money was that her grandmother, whom she was closest to, needed medical treatment. Her grandmother passed away the year before last, and she also said that her father broke his leg and would not be able to work in the future.
Seeing that her younger brother has grown up in the past two years, the family wants to marry him a wife, and the money she asks for every month has slowly begun to increase.
I had just started working in the industry, and I was underage, so I had to rely on my fellow villagers to guide me. I worked as an apprentice in some small workshops. After a month, I basically had nothing left except food and drink.
At that time, her parents never asked her for money. Instead, they called her every month to care about her and told her not to be afraid when she was alone outside, and to ask her fellow villagers for help when something happened.
Later, as my skills improved and my salary increased, I started complaining to her.
This year's harvest was not good, next year we were sick again, and every year there were new problems.
Even if there is no problem, her mother will tell her that if the money is sent back, she will not spend it, but will only save it for her.
Until the year before last, she had a boyfriend.
The two were on a date, and she followed her boyfriend to the cinema for the first time in her life.
What I watched that day was "Spring Day" starring Gu Lanxi.
It tells the story of a girl who was tortured by her original family until she was in pain, and finally with her perseverance, she broke through all kinds of shackles and found a new self.
The movie made her burst into tears. Her boyfriend thought she was embarrassed and had a big fight with her as soon as they left the cinema.
During the quarrel, I learned that she turned out to be a "little brother-supporting devil". She made so much money throughout the year and sent more than half of it back to her family. I broke up with her on the spot.
After that she stopped sending money home.
Her parents took turns coming to the factory to look for her.
She ran from Foshan to Dongguan, and then from Dongguan to Guangzhou. Every time they found her, they made a fuss, called her a white-eyed wolf, and scolded her for being unfilial.
Not only that, they also mobilized all relatives and friends to persuade her not to leave the family alone.
There is really no other way but to send people away with money.
Once she was sick and needed an operation. She called her mother and asked her mother if she wanted money to send back, but her mother said directly that she didn't have any money.
Not only did he not give her any money, he didn't even come to see her.
Later, she learned from her cousin that her mother bought a house in the county for her brother with the money she sent back.
From then on, I was completely heartbroken.
She changed her factory, changed her mobile phone number, stopped contacting her relatives and friends, and stopped communicating with any fellow villagers.
Unexpectedly, they went to the police station to report him missing.
Two days ago, the police found her and told her that her family was looking for her. Soon her parents called and told her that they had arranged a marriage for her in her hometown and the bride price was 88,000 yuan.
It was past 11 o'clock when she got off work tonight. As soon as she turned on the phone, she immediately received a call from her father, telling her that if she didn't go back to get married, he would immediately go south and commit suicide in front of the garment factory.
No matter how many factories she changes, she can always be found at home.
Unless she is obedient and goes back to get married.
Her cousin secretly told her that her brother already had a fiancée after seeing her last month. However, her brother was not good enough and the family did not have enough money to raise the bride price. His parents had no choice but to target her.
It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine what it is like to live in such a family.
My waist never hurts when I stand and talk.
Someone always told her, can't you just ignore family members like this?
Isn't it enough to completely separate and pretend that I have no family or hometown?
They don't even think about it, in this era, the Internet is so developed, no matter where they go, as long as they are willing to work hard, they can always find her.
If she wants to work, she has to pay taxes. If she wants to use a mobile phone, she needs to use her real name. Even if she logs into a software, she has to fill in her mobile phone number. How can it be so easy to break away from her original family?
Besides, they were all barefoot, so how could they be afraid of her wearing shoes?
Seeing the Pearl River rolling in front of her, she wanted to jump directly.
But it was better to die than live, and she couldn't make up her mind. The summer nights in Guangzhou are humid and hot. Even if the river breeze blows, the whole body is still covered with sticky sweat.
There were a lot of mosquitoes on the riverside, and it didn’t take long for them to bite her all over her legs.
I sat in confusion for more than two hours.
The stars were clearly disappearing, and the lights on both sides of the river were getting fewer and fewer. Cheng Shengnan felt that her hope was slowly disappearing, and despair gradually crept into her heart.
Living like this is really meaningless except for pain.
She stood up and took out her phone one last time before jumping down.
She still had tens of thousands of dollars in hand, and she didn't want to take advantage of that family after she died.
So she plans to donate it to charity.
Just as she was entering her password, a new message popped up on Douyin, which she often watched.
Related to Gu Lanxi.
She couldn't help being curious and clicked in.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Because it was her first time watching a movie starring Gu Lanxi and it left a deep impression on her, so she has been paying close attention to Gu Lanxi in the past two years.
She doesn't chase stars on weekdays. She works three shifts in the factory and really doesn't have time. It doesn't mean that she doesn't like this person.
When she clicked on the push button, she saw the article written by Gu Lanxi.
After taking a closer look, Cheng Shengnan was suddenly stunned when he discovered that such a glamorous and beautiful person had a past that was not expected by others.
There are many classmates and neighbors in the comment area who left messages about the tragic events that happened to her when she was a child.
Grandma bought delicious food and gave it to her grandson in the next room, but not to her.
The family went on a trip, and she couldn't open the door when she got home from school. She sat hungry and waited at the door of her house. It wasn't until dark when her neighbor's grandmother called her back to her house to spend the night that she learned the news.
Grandma bought a gold bracelet and showed it off everywhere. Gu Lanxi made meals at school and could only get one vegetarian dish...
The joys and sorrows of people are not always so interoperable.
Some people left nasty messages, saying that they would ask her to play the suona next time they meet; some people burst out with sympathy and couldn't help but cry for her; and some people felt like they were looking in the mirror...
Cheng Shengnan held on to the stone railing in front of him, crying until he was out of breath.
But it was like a light shone in my mind.
Look at Gu Lanxi, how good she is!
How can you give up so easily?
If her grandma's mental quality had been worse when she went to school to make noises about jumping off the building, she might have disappeared long ago.
But she was alive and well.
After getting into a good university, engaging in a career that I like, and investing, I achieved financial freedom.
She is not as beautiful as Gu Lanxi, nor as smart as Gu Lanxi, but she can definitely be as tough as her!
Thinking of this, Cheng Shengnan secretly made up his mind.
A few days ago, a labor agency contacted her and said that there was a furniture factory in Poland that was in urgent need of a group of sewing workers.
The wages are good, medical care is free, and the working hours are not as outrageous as in China.
I used to worry that I wouldn’t be able to adapt if I didn’t speak a foreign language. Now that I think about it, I’m not afraid of death anymore. Are I still afraid of leaving the country?
If you don’t speak a foreign language, can’t you still learn it?
If you can’t learn it in one year, can you still learn it in ten years?
She didn't believe it. With her parents' ability, they could chase him abroad, cry, make trouble, and hang themselves!
After working for a few years, you can become a naturalized citizen, but then you won’t be able to come back!
Thinking of this, Cheng Shengnan suddenly felt that life was smooth!
Gu Lanxi didn't know that someone was picking on her online. After returning to Bihu World from Dongfang No. 1, Lu Nanting was extremely clingy and didn't give her a chance to look at her phone.
Thinking about moving tomorrow and traveling far away the day after tomorrow, she let him.
The young couple who had just started having sex all turned off their mobile phones and changed their ways. It was not until late at night that they were too tired to open their eyes. Lu Nanting hugged her, patted her back gently, and coaxed her to sleep.
After she fell asleep, Lu Nanting touched his cell phone, quietly went to the laundry room to turn it on, and called Fan Tiantian, with a rare firmness in his tone:
"Turn down the heat and don't let this topic become a hot search topic before my wife gets up!"
After a few simple explanations, he turned off the sound, returned to the bedroom, and continued to sleep with his sweet-smelling wife in his arms.
At 3:30 in the middle of the night, I received a call to work overtime, which was not part of my job. Fan Tiantian felt like she was in trouble!
Fortunately, the word "salary increase" still sounded so nice, and she could easily forgive this bitch.
