The volunteer teacher looked at me.

There was no one in the classroom at that time.

So the female teacher closed the door and said to me, "Huanxi, that's a good question you asked. Did you know that allowing a first-born daughter to have a second child seems to be discriminating against women, and discrimination is to protect women. Because only one child can be born at the beginning, the sex of the fetus is illegally determined, and selective abortion is the norm in society. So they will find a relationship, let people see whether the boy in the belly is still a girl, and if the girl is a girl, they will be directly killed. There are also people who don't have a relationship to identify in advance, so wait for the child to be born and see that it is a girl, and when they are born, they either throw it away or drown. When I was in school, I once encountered an incident where someone found an abandoned baby girl in a public toilet, which was said to have been born to a rural couple who lived in a rented house nearby. Fortunately, it was found in time, otherwise the baby girl would have been gone. ”

The words of the female teacher made me chill.

At that time, I already knew that patriarchy was wrong.

......

But as I grew up, I actually understood to some extent why there was a preference for sons over daughters in the countryside.

It's not all because the peasants are ignorant.

The peasants were uneducated.

The countryside was poisoned by feudal ideology.

There is also helplessness in reality.

Because in rural areas, there is really a big difference between a family having a son and not having a son.

For rural people, men are the main labour force.

Of course, people in the city don't have to be old enough to work in the fields.

Because they have a pension.

But rural people don't have that good welfare.

If you don't farm, you can only drink the northwest wind.

So no matter how old you are, you have to work in the fields.

What does farming depend on?

Of course, it depends on labor.

Especially in a remote and backward place like our hometown, there are no modern mechanized equipment.

For example, harvesters.

So this kind of farm work has to be done by people.

Facing the loess and facing the sky is the daily life of rural people.

Therefore, the large number of people in the family, especially the large number of men, can cope with these heavy physical labor.

In addition, the sky is high in the countryside, and the emperor is far away, and it is also called the poor mountains and bad waters out of the people.

In rural areas, there are often contradictions of all kinds.

For example, the fight for land.

Fight for homesteads.

Even for a bucket of dung, you can beat it.

When there is a conflict, it is useless to look for patrols.

It depends on who has power in the village.

Who's the big surname.

Who has more men.

If you don't have a son, you have to be bullied.

If you have more sons, you can bully people.

Big fish eat little fish.

That's how apathetic society is.

And in the countryside, the daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled out.

I rarely go back to my parents' house.

So parents can only count on their sons when they have something.

There are also places, such as our village, where women are not given land.

That means that giving birth to a daughter is not only ridiculed, but also suffers a lot of financial losses.

It is because I also learned these reasons later.

So even though I was left out in the cold, I was very aggrieved.

But I still endured the partiality of my parents.

It is understandable to think that they are patriarchal.

It's just that they didn't teach their son well in the end.

My brother can't count on it.

If it weren't even for the fact that they ended up destroying my life.

I'm going to put up with it.

......

Then today, on the road, I met Jin Lan.

We are all very happy.

Find a place to sit down to eat and catch up.

Jin Lan asked me how I was doing.

Of course, she knew what happened to me at home.

So I didn't hide much either.

I told her that my parents forced me to change my brother's relatives and that I escaped from my in-laws' house.

And now sell your own clothes in the provincial capital.

This time I came to buy.

I didn't say those details.

Because there are so many details, so bitter, I don't even want to recall.

Jin Lan sighed when she heard this.

Then she told me that you were right to escape.

You're just going to get out of that fire pit.

Women can't always be someone else's trade for the rest of their lives.

Women should have their own lives.

Then Jin Lan said his own thing.

After his parents gave birth to a boy, they got their wish and returned to the city.

Jin Lan also returned to the city with her parents.

Of course, nominally, Jin Lan still has to call her parents uncles and aunts.

Just like Jin Lan thought at the beginning.

When there is an extra boy in the family, although she will not be disliked, beaten, scolded, and abused.

But it was also clearly left out.

Becomes insignificant.

Everything has to be based on the younger brother.

Her reasonable request was also perfunctorily rejected by her parents.

If you say anything, just say that Jin Lan is not sensible and don't make trouble.

Jin Lan cried and made trouble.

I also replaced the milk powder that my brother drank with laundry detergent.

As a result, it was naturally ushered in a harsh reprimand from the parents.

Even for the first time, Jin Lan was beaten for the first time.

Slapped by his father.

Then, something happened in the house.

Jin Lan's father was originally a small supervisor of a unit.

Later, there was a vacancy in one of the above positions.

Jin Lan's father competes with another colleague.

Originally, in terms of seniority, Jin Lan's father should have an advantage.

He was also complacent, and felt that he had a chance to win.

Who knows, at a critical moment, a report letter appeared.

What is written above is clear, Jin Lan's father deceived and openly overborn.

His niece is his daughter!

The son who was born later is a violation!

Such a person still wants to be promoted?

Shouldn't you be expelled?

It was a fatal blow at a critical moment.

is still the same sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

In the unit, everyone is in harmony on the surface.

But the choppy and treacherous waves in the secret may be more complicated and thrilling than those palace fighting TV series.

Judging by the content of the report letter.

It has not been a day or two since the other party has mastered the handle of Jin Lan's parents.

The evidence is well investigated.

So that Jinlan's parents can't justify, there is nowhere to justify.

And once the investigation really begins.

There is no need for too complicated procedures, as long as a paternity test is worth a thousand words.

The other party is obviously waiting to make such a big move at a critical moment.

Then, Jin Lan's father's dream of promotion was shattered.

Not only was the dream of promotion shattered.

Also fired.

At the same time, Jin Lan's mother was also expelled from the unit.

For a time, the couple, who had a promising future, were both unemployed.

"Do you know? I knew that my parents had lost their jobs because of the superbirth, and I was very happy and happy in my heart at that time! I felt that this was a lesson for my parents! This is what happened to them when they had to give birth to a son! I thought that now I should be able to call my parents justifiably, right? You won't let me act anymore, right? But I was wrong! After my parents lost their jobs, they didn't complain about their stupid things, they didn't blame their younger brother, but they blamed me. It was as if I was the root cause of all this, and everyone looked at me strangely, as if I was a sinner in the family, and the corruption in the family was caused by me!"

Speaking of this, Jin Lan's eyes showed deep indignation.

"Not only did they blame me, but they also suspected me! They suspected that I had revealed the secret of my birth outside, saying that I had deliberately publicized this incident in order to get revenge on my brother, which caused the situation that followed. I didn't explain, I confessed, I said yes, I said it, my mother came over, and also slapped me and told me to get out, so I got out, and since then, I have never been back to that home, counting, it has been many years. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Lan's eyes were a little fluttering: "Ah Xi, do you know? Actually, I have only told you the secret of my life experience, and I have never told anyone about the rest." So what does it have to do with me that they're being reported? But I can't explain it, because they won't believe me if I say it. They don't really care if it's me reporting it or not, they just need a scapegoat. ”

Jin Lan finished talking about her life experience.

She and I were silent for a while.

Freemasonry.

Both of us are hard-working women.

It's not easy.

"So what did you do then, and why are you here now?" I asked Jin Lan.

"Hehe, what can I do? I was only in my third year of high school when I ran away from home, and there were still a few months before the college entrance examination, but when I left like this, I couldn't take the college entrance examination, so I couldn't go to university, I didn't have a degree, and I was fooling around in society. I have done many professions, suffered a lot, and created a lot of ......."

Speaking of the time when he did a lot of iniquity.

I saw Jin Lan's eyes gloomy.

I think of some unbearable past.

Yes, Jin Lan and I are both young.

But they have all gone through the ups and downs of the world.

I don't know how many beatings I have been beaten by society.

We all have a lot of stories in our hearts.

There was a lot of pain too.

Not enough for outsiders.

I don't even want to mention it myself.

I would like the past to be dissipated in a corner of the world with the wind.

So I didn't ask again.

But Jin Lan suddenly lifted her spirits: "Okay, let's not talk about the unhappy things before." Hi, I really didn't expect to meet you here. It's just right, you don't want to do any clothing business, follow me, I have a business that makes a lot of money, but it's much better than your tiring stalls, and you can easily make money. In fact, I also did a small business before, and it was too hard to make a fortune. ”

"What kind of business makes so much money?" I asked curiously.

Jin Lan smiled mysteriously: "I can't say a word or two clearly, you and I will know." ”

"Forget it, I'm already ready to go back to the provincial capital, so let's keep in touch in the future. I said.

But Jin Lan insisted: "Ah Xi, I introduced you when you were your own person." We've been friends for many years, can I hurt you? ”

It's hard to resist hospitality.

But it's disrespectful.

I said yes anyway.

I'm going to go and see it with Jin Lan.

To be honest, I chose to agree to go with Jin Lan to see it, except because Jin Lan was too enthusiastic and it was difficult for me to refuse.

And because I heard the words "easy to get rich", I was moved.

Because in this society, if you don't have a background, it's too difficult to make money.

If you want to make money, you have to endure hardship.

Even if you endure hardship, you may not necessarily make money.

Although I am not afraid of hardship, I have also suffered a lot, but if there is an easy way to make money.

Who wants to work so hard?

So we finished our meal and left the restaurant together.

Chunlan took me, seven times and eight times, and when I didn't know how many alleys I drilled and what direction it was, we finally arrived at our destination.

A very old building.

The words "Workers' Club" can be vaguely seen on the rusty plaque.

But apparently, this place has been abandoned for many years.

We walked into the yard and saw that the yard was full of weeds and garbage.

If I hadn't followed Jin Lan, I would have turned around and run a long time ago.

Because at first glance, this place doesn't look like a good place.

It's deserted outside.

But I didn't expect that when Chunlan took me into the dilapidated auditorium, it was actually very lively inside.

There were more than 100 people scattered on chairs.

When Jin Ranh brought me in, there were two young men at the door who tried to stop me.

Jin Lan hurriedly said: "This is my friend, let's study together." ”

The man at the door got out of the way.

Jin Lan whispered to me, "Ah Xi, you have to listen and remember more in a while, this is a rare learning opportunity." You will benefit immensely from listening to this lesson, but be careful, don't spread the word about it?"

It's quite mysterious.

I nodded.

Then Jin Lan found a place to sit down.

After waiting a little longer, a man appeared behind the curtain of the stage.

A man in his forties.

As soon as this man appeared, the audience immediately became a sensation.

More than 100 people applauded and cheered.

"Master Zhang!"

"Master Zhang!"

The atmosphere was as warm as a celebrity concert.

And Jin Lan beside me was also so excited that she was about to shout.

"Master Zhang!"

"Master Zhang!"

"Axi, this is my idol!"

That Master Zhang made frequent moves on the stage, and finally quieted everyone down.

But the first sentence is like adding fuel to the fire.

Ignited the whole scene.

"There are more than 100 people here today! First of all, congratulations, there are more than 100 millionaires and even multimillionaires in this world! When you come here today, it may not be the first pot of gold in your life, but it must be the largest pot of gold you have dug in your life!"

To be honest, when I heard this, I felt hot all over.

Master Zhang went on to say: "You are very lucky, you are people who understand our industry! We don't want to be the sons of the poor, we want to be the parents of the rich! Believe me, there seem to be many opportunities in a person's life, but there may be only one real opportunity. Seize an opportunity, you will change your life, become famous, and reach the peak of popularity! If you miss this opportunity, you will never do anything! So tell me, do you want to become famous or do you want to do nothing? Do you want to become a successful person or can only rely on others for the rest of your life and be a working boy who goes with the flow? Do you want to seize this opportunity, or do you want to miss it now, and then waste it for decades, and finally regret it when you are old?

The answer to this question is obvious.

Including Jin Lan.

Everyone shouted together: "We want to succeed!"

"We want to be at the top of our voice!"

"We want this opportunity!"

"Let's not regret it!"

"Good!"

Master Zhang nodded with satisfaction: "The world is great because of dreams, and human beings are brilliant because of dreams, from today onwards, I will take you to change your life together!"

The whole audience has exploded.

I saw that the atmosphere of the whole audience had been successfully mobilized.

This Master Zhang only began the formal teaching.

"It's an industry where you listen to and you learn. ”

"As the saying goes, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual, what I want to say next, please remember, whether you can get rich or not, I don't count, only rely on yourself!"

After speaking the opening remarks.

Master Zhang introduces the product.

It turns out that they are a multinational high-tech company.

A type of high-end women's cosmetics called "Kadisina" is produced.

This kind of cosmetics is particularly good, and the advantages alone will be talked about for more than ten minutes.

Then Master Zhang particularly emphasized.

They don't just sell products, they benefit society.

Because "Kadisina" is not just a company, it has bigger goals.

The original intention of "Cadisina" is to make every woman happy.

The pursuit of "Kadisina" is to make every woman's life extraordinary.

Then, it's time for the specific rules.

If you buy a product of 8,888 yuan, you can become a silver card member of "Kadisina".

Spend 71,104 yuan to become its gold card member.

Promote 8 more Gold cards to become diamond cards.

If you pull people again, you will become a supreme card, a brilliant card, and a shining card......

In short, the more people you pull, the more you earn.

So Master Zhang said bitterly, you don't need to work hard to make products. There is no need for selection, receiving, or shipping.

There is also no pressure to stock and sell.

You don't even have to hire employees and rent office space.

As long as you keep expanding your downline, it's fine.

Earning a million a year is not a dream.

There are no taxes to pay.

Isn't it promising?

The students let out bursts of cheers.

Jin Lan on the side has entered a state of madness.

But when I heard this, I was already calm.

I know what this is up to.

How can pie fall from the sky?

This is Chuanxiao.

There are indeed people who will make money, but it is not us stupid students.

We are a bunch of leeks that have been cut.

Although I haven't met Chuanxiao, I've heard a lot.

For example, Xiaofang, who was working in a factory, was once deceived.

Xiaofang later told us.

She was deceived by her cousin.

My cousin originally went to work in the southwest.

I didn't have much contact with Xiaofang before.

But during that time, I called Xiaofang every day.

Let Xiaofang go over and play.

Also on the phone, I always ask Xiaofang about her work.

He said that he had a good job and was very rich.

Xiao Fang really went.

As soon as I went, I was trapped.

Xiaofang is an honest girl, and she doesn't know what to do when she is trapped.

Thankfully, she had just been deceived for less than two days.

When the community was conducting a fire drill, they found this group of suspicious people, which rescued Xiaofang.

......

So I was also deceived by Jin Lan?

I looked at a Jinlan beside me.

She was the only friend I had in my childhood.

If she lied to me, I would be very sad.

But I looked at Jin Lan's excited look, her waving arms, and her excited expression.

I know.

She didn't lie to me.

Because our encounter was an accident.

She had no idea I was here.

And judging from her expression, Jin Lan really believes that this thing can make money.

I believe that what Master Zhang said is a wise saying.

She has been brainwashed.

So she brought me in and really felt that it was for my own good.

It's like when I was a kid, I was given chocolate.

Treat me like a friend.

So I can't blame her.

What should I do?

Is it a person who walks away?

What about Chunlan?

Leave her here?

Sinking deeper and deeper?

I'm struggling.

She's my friend.

I can't see her going astray.

So I could only be patient and continue to listen to the instigation of the people on the stage.

A lot of times, that's the way it goes.

When you trust a person, he is so reliable in everything he says.

But when you question a person, everything he says is full of holes.

So now I have a judgment on Master Zhang on stage.

This is a big fool.

So no matter what he says, the five-level and three-order system, generational inheritance, and the exit system all sound to me nonsense.

Don't say a word, you can't even believe a single punctuation mark.
