Chapter 1: The Wedge

Next Chapter

Winter 2015

Qin Yao remembered that when she first set foot on the land of City A, she exhaled the last breath of turbid air that bothered her, breathing in the exotic dust raised on the mixed cement floor, and her heart was full of pride, thinking that she was also the one who walked out of that village! In her heart, no one knows the feeling of freedom better than her.

Rural life is the kind of day when you work in the fields all your life in the dark, but you don't know what you're busy with. The people in the village have wanted to open their eyes in the city all their lives, but they can't get out of the mountain at all, and the psychology of the people in the city can't understand. There are too many things that seem to be fetters rather than fetters in the hearts of the people in the village, and in Qin Yao's eyes, they are called timid, and life in the village is like walking in a desert full of yellow sand, overwhelming people, no one wants to live in a group of people who have no hope for the future who let life bend their backs.

She had heard people from the next village who had been to the city say that the land in the city was full of money, and it depended on whether you dared to pick it up, and now she wanted to say what she meant.

Not all success is proportional to effort. This is the conclusion that Qin Yao has reached after eight years of drifting in City A, but we can also imagine that a dropout who only studied in her second year of high school in a small county town in her hometown, lives in a city full of 985,211, and even graduate masters, doctors, knowledge or something, it is a complete bad joke for Qin Yao, and she has to admit that she regrets it. But isn't it all too late?

She let go of those cruel words to those people in the village, and if she didn't live a famous life in the big city, she went back to serve her father and mother for the rest of her life, and she could be regarded as inheriting the nurturing grace of her parents. But think about those people in her family, forget it, can you get by here? Just go back like this, and if you don't jump the Yellow River twice, you'll be sorry for the cheekiness that her father and mother gave her.

However, there is no bottom line for rural people to be thin-skinned, of course, this did not show in Qin Yao. The reason is that Qin Yao's family is full of scoundrels, of course, this is in Qin Yao's own opinion. How scoundrels they are, for example, warning her to study hard, otherwise they will beat up the kid Ah Zhuang next door, or take the dry boy at the head of the village, Ah San, to go swimming. Still, she dropped out of high school.

After all, in a village with underdeveloped information, it takes evidence and toughness to let the village chief who has only graduated from primary school say one, two, three, and in them, the bully is the official, and the reputation of the government is far away, which is the sky that they can't touch, and the scoundrel always has 10,000 reasons for the honest villagers who lie in the ground to dig and eat with him. It also takes this reason for sneaky things to become extremely common words in her ears, being able to speak is a necessary skill for her to live in this city, and Qin Yao's only thanks to her parents for passing on this skill to her.

Thinking that she struggled in this city for seven years and then got mixed into the South Railway Station, this territory is hers, and it is also aggrieved, who doesn't want to get bigger and bigger? But who asked the boss of other people's families to train his little brother to be obedient! Thinking about her, she felt angry, and she just beat up the bald brother's No. 1 little brother last time, and persuaded him to recognize her as the eldest brother, and the next day he ran to the bald head to call him big brother, and said bad things about her, which made the bald head angry, and ran to make a promise to duel in the steel mill on Sunday. If it weren't for his No. 1 brother, she would have ignored people, anyway, the bald head couldn't beat her and couldn't provoke her, not relying on her brothers, standing in a large feng shui oil field, thinking that his brothers were only five, and he couldn't be angry. However, she didn't think about her own reasons, so let's not talk about the trivial matter of deducting wages, the key is that no one has beaten her.

However, it is worth being happy that because the South Railway Station is approaching the New Year, and the industry she has earned recently is still abundant, she thinks that her rogue parents should also be happy that their daughter is "promising", and it is time to go back to show off, and she should take back what she said at that time. I decided to go home for the Spring Festival next year, and I had some hopes, so I took advantage of the interest of just getting up to "play" a hand, and by the way, I also saw if there were any ignorant scoundrels in my own place who were doing things on my own territory, and casually collected and expanded my team.
