226 Cotton picking

So she did a lot of work as well.

Supermarket promotions.

Distribute flyers.

Factory sister.

Janitor.

Waiter.

Anyway, basically those jobs that don't require academic qualifications, Jin Lan has done them.

There is no need to go into detail about how much he suffered, how many sins he suffered, and how many tears he shed.

As long as you are working hard in society, you can understand it.

But even though it's hard, the income is still very meager.

Jin Lan is also a strong person.

She also wants to earn more money and improve her life.

So, 2 years ago, when I was about to get married, Jin Lan got on the train to the west.

She was with a lot of people, and she had to take a long train ride and then get to a far, far away place.

Cotton picking.

That is the great northwest of the motherland.

The sky is high and the clouds are light.

Vast but sparsely populated.

There are plenty of cotton fields.

Every autumn in October.

It's the season of picking cotton.

At this time, migrant workers from all over the country will gather here.

It usually takes two months.

Picking cotton is very profitable.

Pay according to the weight of the cotton.

About a kilogram of cotton can earn 2 yuan.

Those who are skilled, experienced, and physically strong.

You can pick about 150 catties to 250 catties a day.

Such an income of 300 yuan to 500 yuan a day.

If you work for two months, it is 20,000 or 30,000 yuan.

No academic qualifications are required.

It also provides free food and lodging, which is a good opportunity to earn money.

But this is certainly not easy.

Tired.

Because it's high-intensity work.

You're going to have to bend over for long hours.

After a hard day's work, my hands and feet were numb, my waist was sore and painful, and my whole body seemed to fall apart.

You can fall asleep with your head on a pillow.

Even after finishing work, if you can't go back to the dormitory, you can lie down on the road and sleep.

The climate there is also harsh.

There is a large temperature difference between day and night.

It was cold in the morning and evening, and people shivered from the cold.

At noon, the sun was shining again, like in the Flaming Mountain.

Plus that gale.

It's not at all affordable for the average person.

Jin Lan was the youngest of those people.

Before she went, she was told that the job was too tiring for you to do.

Jin Lan was still not convinced.

But when she arrived at the scene, Jin Lan was so tired that she collapsed on the ground on the first day.

Tired and vomiting.

But only 70 catties of cotton were picked.

That's already her limit.

The next day, Jin Lan was lying in bed and couldn't get up.

But no one cared about her.

It's not that everyone is indifferent.

It's that these people come from all over the world.

I come here to make money.

They don't have the time, nor the energy, to care about a stranger.

Before leaving, one person poured a glass of water for Jin Lan.

That's already the best effort.

Jin Lan was tired and hungry.

But she still endured it, and wanted to go to work in the fields.

Because there is no one to lead the way.

He was lost.

Going in the wrong direction.

Halfway through, he fainted.

It's just tired.

Jin Lan collapsed on the side of the road.

No one found her.

Because it's really sparsely populated.

Usually for several hours, there is no one in sight.

Because she went in the wrong direction, the rest of the workers did not find her when they returned.

Seeing that her bunk was empty.

I thought she had left on her own.

So it got dark.

The wind was howling outside.

It's also cold inside.

And Jin Lan was still lying on the side of the road.

The dirt swept up by the wind had already covered Jin Lan's body.

If no one saves her.

Jin Lan will definitely die.

Fortunately, Jiren has his own natural appearance.

A merchant who had come to harvest cotton passed by and rescued Jin Lan.

The merchant had a good heart.

After knowing what happened to Jin Lan, he felt sorry for the child.

So he asked Jin Lan to follow him to harvest cotton.

Jin Lan is in charge of bookkeeping.

After all, she went to high school, so it's no problem to do this.

Then he paid Cam Ranh.

Although not as high as picking cotton.

But Jin Lan can do it.

Jin Lan was grateful to him.

This is really a lifesaver.

Later, when the merchant returned to the mainland, he brought Jin Lan back as well.

The merchant had a trading company in his hometown.

So he let Jin Lan work in his own company.

Let Jin Lan follow accounting.

Jin Lan is very content, grateful, and cherishes such an opportunity.

I also went to report for the accounting class of the night university.

Enrich yourself.

Slowly getting along, the merchant and his wife liked Jin Lan very much, and took Jin Lan as his goddaughter.

It is the kind of relationship between a true father-in-law and a daughter-in-law.

There is no mess.

It's pure.

It was warm.

Especially for a girl like Jin Lan, who has been hurt by her original family, it is her luck to have such a pair of fathers and mothers.

Jin Lan thought that her wandering life could be stabilized and she had something to rely on.

Who knows, many things are not just what you want to do.

Jin Lan's father-in-law was a trader.

The first thing to do is domestic trade.

But the competition in the domestic market is too fierce.

He's just a small company, not big enough to compete with the really big ones.

At this time, a business friend of Jin Lan's stepfather came to the door.

said that there was a way to make a fortune, and he wanted to cooperate with Jin Lan's father-in-law.

Now domestic trade is not easy to do.

But foreign trade is really a way out.

The quality of our domestic products is good, cheap and very popular in foreign markets.

It can be said that as long as our products enter foreign shopping malls and supermarkets, it is completely smooth.

Those brands abroad are not competitive at all.

Because our cost is low.

The cost saved is our net profit.

In addition, the reputation of domestic products is also good, and people abroad recognize it.

It can be said that there is great potential for development.

It is much stronger than competing with peers at home.

And domestic policies also support enterprises to go global.

There is also a subsidy for tax reductions.

The only difficulty is that you are not familiar with the foreign market, and without the right channels, it is difficult for you to develop abroad.

But he now has foreign channels and can enter foreign markets.

Jin Lan's stepfather was very happy.

So I teamed up with this friend.

A foreign trade company was established.

Of course, it takes a lot of money to open up overseas markets.

Jin Lan's stepfather didn't have that much cash in his hands.

So I could only find an underground bank, mortgage the factory and the house, and borrow a large amount of money.

Usury.

The interest rate is high.

Some people say, is he stupid?

Why don't you go to the bank if you are short of money?

Looking for an underground bank?

Didn't he take the initiative to let people be slaughtered as fat sheep?

Jumping into the fire pit yourself?

Jin Lan's father-in-law is not stupid.

It's not that he doesn't want to go to the bank for a loan.

But how can it be so easy to get a bank loan?

Banks are a very realistic place, and the most snobbish is the most.

If you are a big customer, a big company, a big boss, a state-owned enterprise.

Then the bank manager's attitude towards you is as warm as spring.

Clever smile, step by step, shh

Even treat you like a grandfather.

But you are a small company, a small client, a small boss, a private business.

Then the manager of the bank becomes your ancestor.

Smiling all over your face, being courteous, and even kowtowing and kneeling, may not make the bank manager look at you more.

Want to take out a loan?

Go back to dreaming.

There is everything in the dream.

Of course, this can't be entirely blamed on the bankers.

It's also because these small businesses are unstable.

Often, it closes after a few years or even months.

People in banks don't want to take that risk.

As a result, private enterprises like Jin Lan's father-in-law, in order to survive, to develop, and to expand their scale, can only choose private loans.

The interest rate is quite high.

20% and even up to 40%.

But you can't borrow it.

Jin Lan's father-in-law borrowed it head-on.

He thought that after opening up the overseas market and making a profit, he would be able to repay the loan shark.

But he miscalculated.

Any overseas channels, it's all that friend who cheated people.

......

Some people say, doesn't this prove that Jin Lan's father-in-law is stupid?

Why trust that friend?

Who doesn't know that the mall is deceitful and intrigued?

You deserve to be trapped.

There seems to be some truth to that.

Jin Lan's stepfather didn't worry about it.

It's just that no matter what, he didn't expect that friend to cheat him.

And not just because he's known that friend for decades.

And not just because he and that friend were small.

is also because, when the friend's own business went wrong, he almost went bankrupt, he was chased by the debt collector and did not dare to go home, the walls of the house were splashed with red paint, and the wife and children washed their faces with tears, and they were terrified.

It was Jin Lan's father-in-law who pulled that friend very righteously.

It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow.

If it weren't for Jin Lan's father's action, the friend would have been desperate and his family would have been ruined.

From this point, it can be seen that Jin Lan's father-in-law is really a good person.

So when that friend got through the difficulty, every time he saw Jin Lan's father-in-law, his eyes were moist, his eyes were teary and his eyes were full of tears, and he called Engong.

How could Jin Lan's father-in-law refrain from letting him shout like that, and he didn't agree.

If you don't let you shout, you will be anxious.

Every time that friend drank, he would even cry loudly in front of outsiders, saying that Jin Lan's father-in-law was his reborn parents.

He has been a cow and a horse all his life, and he can't repay this sincere feeling.

The friend heroically said that if anyone was sorry for Jin Lan's stepfather in the future, he would be the first to refuse.

Dare to play with people!

For the sake of Jin Lan's father-in-law, he can give up everything!

How nice is that?

It's simply touching, singing and crying.

The story of Jin Lan's father-in-law and that friend has become a good story of friendship and friendship in the local area!

Although Jin Lan's father-in-law did not want to repay his kindness.

He helped his friends through the difficult times out of morality, and did not expect his friends to repay him.

But it's nice to see this friend behave like this.

Anyone who is willing to help themselves can repay the gratitude.

Don't be an ungrateful white-eyed wolf.

So the relationship between Jin Lan's father-in-law and this friend became closer and closer.

even get along like a pair of relatives.

I usually walk around very often.

Including this time, that friend said to open up overseas markets.

Collaborate with Jin Lan's stepfather.

It is also under the banner of repaying gratitude.

Because he said that this channel is so valuable, after it is opened, it is a steady stream of overseas customers.

It's like a hen that lays golden eggs.

I don't know how many people are greedy and ask for cooperation.

But my friends refused.

He said that such a good thing, such an opportunity, of course, should be left to my eldest brother!

My dear big brother!

My friend!

My loved ones!

My father-in-law!

It's too sincere.

It was difficult for Jin Lan's father-in-law to suspect it.

He didn't believe it at all, this friend would cheat himself.

If only he would be ungrateful, he would pit himself.

Is that still human?

Is there still humanity?

Is there anyone in this world who can be trusted?

After the establishment of an overseas trading company.

Spent a lot of money to buy a piece of land abroad to build a logistics transit warehouse.

Then the domestic goods were transported over.

When the friend opened the sales channel, the friend took the money, went abroad, and ran away.

left a shell company and a mess to Jin Lan's stepfather.

It is said that this friend took the money to speculate in real estate.

The warehouse was built in vain.

The goods are backlogged.

It can't be sold at all.

Smash your hands.

Jin Lan's father-in-law wanted to contact that friend again, but he didn't answer the phone or reply to the text message.

WeChat was directly blocked.

Jin Lan's father-in-law wasted all his strength and finally found that friend.

One is to recover your own money.

Second, I want to ask why.

Why are you doing this to me?

Why are you pying me?

Am I not good to you?

I don't expect you to thank me enough, but you can't stab you in the back either!

As a result, the friend said, yes, big brother, you are good to me.

That's why I'm going to pit you!

Because I cheated others, others didn't believe me.

It's as simple as pit you.

Since you were able to help me once, you can continue to carry forward your style this time.

You are a kind and honest person I rarely met in the mall.

Indeed, I cheated you, and I am sorry for you.

But if I don't cheat you, I don't have so much money, I'm sorry for myself!

I'm sorry for you?

Or am I sorry for myself?

I'm also very embarrassed.

I'm struggling too.

I'm in a lot of pain, too.

Therefore, in the end, the elder brother also gritted his teeth, with tears in his eyes, and endured the pain of pit your eldest brother.

You see, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

When I was drunk, I cried.

I smoked several packs of cigarettes a day, and the house was on fire, and the smoke was billowing out.

That's why I don't want to contact my big brother.

I'm afraid we'll be embarrassed to meet.

You are my eldest brother, can you bear to see my brother so embarrassed?

So let's not meet in the future.

Of course, big brother, you are here, and you can't let you go back empty-handed.

Give you 500 yuan to buy some souvenirs.

You see it's all time for dinner, why don't I treat you to a meal?

Look at me, I'm a good-hearted person, you've torn your face with me, and I still have to do my landlord's friendship.

Listen, is this talking about human language?

People are shameless, and the world is invincible.

Jin Lan's father-in-law was directly speechless by this friend.

As if if he pursued it again, it would seem that he was not close to people?

What the hell is this?

Am I honest and honest enough to let you be deceived?

Jin Lan's stepfather didn't think about going to court, but out of trust, many procedures were incomplete.

Again, litigation abroad.

After a few months of rrangling, the money was not returned, but a lot of legal fees were lost.

Jin Lan's father fell ill.

Heart-wrenching.

Angry.

Rush to the heart.

It's not just about feeling sorry for the lost money.

I was also sad that I was betrayed by someone I trusted.

I treat you like a brother.

You're taking me for a fool.

And the people outside knew that Jin Lan's father-in-law was cheated by a friend.

Some people were indignant, saying that this friend was really a brute.

Scum.

People and gods are angry.

But the people who are still talking are talking about the wind.

said that Jin Lan's father-in-law deserved it.

Who made you such an indiscriminate and unjust person?

Who are you pitting if you don't pit you?

I want to make friends with you, and then I can cheat you.

There are even rumors that this Jin Lan's father-in-law is not a good thing.

Why is it so generous?

It's because he has a leg with that friend's wife.

That friend is avenging the green.

In short, all kinds of cynicism and falling into the ground.

I have seen the warmth and coldness of the world and the cold of the world.

Those who lend usury will not be soft-hearted.

Started door-to-door debt collection.

In the end, the factory was gone.

The house is gone.

The family had no choice but to return to their hometown in the countryside.

From this point of view, in fact, what happened to the Jinlan family is somewhat similar to what happened to Li Pingping's family.

But Li Pingping's house was a natural disaster and encountered a flood.

Jin Lan's father's house was a man-made disaster and met a villain.

That's it, there is still 100,000 yuan to be repaid.

The other party said that if he didn't pay back the money, he would go to find the son of Jin Lan's father-in-law.

Jin Lan's godbrother was also in high school that year.

It's good to learn.

That's the threat of the dew.

Moreover, the interest of this 100,000 yuan is also very high.

If it's a day late, it's going to be a lot more.

Jin Lan's father's family couldn't bear it.

At such a moment, Jin Ranh stepped up.

She went straight to the loan sharks.

He asked them to stop harassing his father-in-law's family.

She is responsible for the debt of 100,000 yuan.

The other side smiled.

You little girl, what responsibility can you bear?

Do you have money?

Jin Lan said I didn't.

But I'm a woman.

Even if a woman is no longer capable, as long as she is young, as long as she is not too ugly, she has a way to make money.

Because there is one of the oldest professions in society.

Yes, in order to help the stepfather's family get out of trouble.

In order to help her godbrother go to school well, she is willing to sell herself.

When it comes to this.

Jin Lan told me.

I used to think that those who were related by blood were relatives.

But when she met her stepfather's family, she understood that only those who love and care for each other are called relatives.

Ms. Kim said she never regretted running away from home.

But I regret that I didn't go to college.

When I was in school, I thought it was so hard to go to school.

Do the questions every day.

The book mountain and the sea of questions.

Annoying.

At that time, the students were very envious of the people in society and the adults.

There is no homework to be done.

There are no exams that you can't cope.

There is no parent-teacher meeting that has changed color.

You don't have to go to great lengths to get your pocket money.

Free.

Carefree.

But you don't know until you grow up.

A child's world is the purest.

This is the easiest career for students.

There is no more comfortable job than attending school.

You don't know until you grow up.

Grown-ups are really hard.

It's so hard to earn every penny of your money.

No one will give them pocket money because they are coquettish.

Their money is hard-earned.

Either sell your intelligence, or sell your physical strength, or you sell your self-esteem.

In short, there is no pie in the sky.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

So Jin Lan regretted it very much, regretting that she didn't have a good academic degree.

Therefore, to work hard in society, you can only start from the lowest work.

Therefore, Jin Lan must not let his godbrother be affected, he must complete his studies.

He has a bright future ahead of him.

Jin Lan told me that she had a deep relationship with this godbrother.

Because this younger brother is simple and kind, he really regards himself as his sister.

I didn't show any arrogance or rejection towards myself.

On the contrary, he is very good and respectful to himself.

In Jin Lan's heart.

She has only one younger brother.

That's it.

Her own mother asked her to be responsible for her younger brother of the same mother, and asked to be a Voldemort for her own brother.

Jin Lan resisted, aggrieved, and angry.

She didn't want to.

But in order to protect this godbrother who is not related by blood, but makes himself feel the love of his sister and brother, Jin Lan is willing to make sacrifices.

This is the human heart.

Some people, some things, accounting is better.

Some people, some things, are completely unrequited.

The key is to see if it's worth it.

Therefore, she chose to hide from her father-in-law and mother-in-law to bear all these debts.

Even if you sell your body.
