On Meng Xin's side, the three of them didn't get together for long, because Lin Rui had to go back to help, so they dispersed early. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"By the way, Ashin, do you still have to find someone to evaluate Xiao Mengning's diamond?"

"Yes."

"My dad contacted an expert before, and he should be back in Shanghai as soon as next weekend."

"Okay, got it."

After returning home, Meng Xin saw that Xiao Mengning was cultivating cross-legged, and he didn't bother her. After taking a shower, I went back to the house to chat with Fang Zhimeng.

The two chatted until more than ten o'clock, and Meng Xin suddenly received a message from Fan Likun.

Fan Likun: Are you there?

Meng Xin: Yes.

Fan Likun: I helped you contact some senior brothers and sisters, and they all forwarded your blog and helped the incident ferment.

Meng Xin clicked on Weibo and saw that the number of forwards had exceeded 1,000, and many people began to reply.

Meng Xin: Thank you. I have a heart.

Fan Likun: Meng Xin, do you have time now?

Meng Xin: Well, it's okay, what's wrong?

Fan Likun: Can you chat with me?

Meng Xin: Yes.

Meng Xin thought that the other party meant text chat, but he didn't expect Fan Likun to call directly over. I thought about it and was embarrassed to refuse, so I had to take it.

"Hey, Meng Xin." The voice on the other side was a little tired, "There are some things I don't know who I can talk to, sorry to disturb you." ”

"It's okay, I know you must have a complicated mind right now. Say whatever you want, maybe it's fun to say it. ”

"I'll tell you a story, okay?"

"Yes."

"I have two older sisters and two younger brothers, and since I was sensible, my sister told me to learn to serve others, so that I could be less bullied when I married in the future. I was very young at that time, and I didn't know what it meant to marry, but I just listened ignorantly, until I found out later that every girl in our village had been educated like this since she was a child.

When I was in elementary school, my eldest sister got married. She was 16 years old at the time. But in our country, getting married at the age of 16 is a very common thing. I didn't go on the day my eldest sister got married, because my dad said girls weren't qualified to go out and show their heads. I only know that one day not long after, my eldest sister's leg was broken by the man. Everyone in our family knew about it, but my parents didn't say anything about it from beginning to end.

Later, my second sister also got married, and my two younger brothers were older, so I went to school and took care of my two younger brothers. It wasn't until the year of the high school entrance examination that my dad told me I didn't have to go to school. I'm ready to get married. At that time, I didn't resist, because everyone is like this, and I thought that this world was like this.

It was that summer vacation that a group of people suddenly came from outside. I've never seen the clothes they wear, I've never heard of the things they use, and I still remember that during that time, I always thought they were from heaven.

It was a documentary team, and the person leading the group was Liu Shuang, a woman in her thirties at the time. is the producer of the show. I was lucky enough to meet her that summer. Sister Liu Shuang stayed in our village for half a month, and in addition to normal shooting, she often told us stories from outside. It was also from her mouth that I learned that the purpose of girls living in this world is not to get married, nor to serve men. Girls and boys are equal, and they can even live better than boys. ”

Fan Likun paused for a moment when he said this, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"So you chose to be a journalist?" Meng Xin asked.

"Yes. Sister Liu Shuang told us a lot of stories, but most of the girls didn't pay much attention to it. Because the erosion of the thoughts that I have been exposed to since childhood is too deep, I just listen to it as a myth. Even if there is a trace of yearning for the outside, he does not have the courage to break the existing state.

But I became an exception. I told Sister Liu Shuang my idea, and she secretly gave me a sum of money to go to the county seat to study in high school. And let me try to get into the university, and then go to the big city, where men and women are equal, and there, I can see a completely different world. ”

"You made it." Meng Xin didn't know what to say, he just didn't want to be too embarrassed, so he said casually.

"Yes, I escaped from that cage and I changed my fate. But from the day I left the village, I also lost my family. Fan Likun's voice began to stalk.

"It's hard to be alone and without a family since high school." When Meng Xin heard this, he finally understood where Fan Likun's point was.

"It's a home I don't want to go back to, it's a home I hate, but... That's my home. ”

In the eyes of outsiders, such a home, such parents still have nothing to be nostalgic for, but when things fall on themselves, they will understand the contradictions and entanglements, no matter what the other party does, but that is their own parents. What's more, when you are alone outside for a long time, looking at other people's families, the loneliness will slowly recede from the hatred you once had, and instead turn into a more violent longing. ”

"Can you understand?" Fan Likun looked surprised, she just wanted to talk to someone, she thought that Meng Xin would definitely think that she had a brain disease.

"Of course, I have parents. Although my parents didn't do that to me. ”

The other side was silent for a while, "So when Zhu Ziwen told me that my father sold me to him, I was actually very happy in my heart." ”

"You think you've finally found a reason to completely cut off the thoughts in your heart all these years."

"Yes." Fan Likun was silent for a while, "Meng Xin, what do you say I should do now?" ”

"I think you already have an answer in mind."

"But... But... Zhu Ziwen, that bastard said something like that to my parents! You don't know our village, where people see that kind of photo, even if Zhu Ziwen doesn't say that, they will think I'm immoral. ”

"Then you go and explain it to your parents, as for the rest of the village, it doesn't matter, and it's not for them to live."

"My parents... I..."

"The reason why you want to go back is because you found out that your parents didn't sell you casually as an item, so you miss them more, and it also makes you feel that you have the courage to meet them. Second, you're worried that your parents are now worried about you at home, even though you don't think they care about you. Really? ”

"How do you know?" Fan Likun was shocked by Meng Xin.

"I'm just more empathetic." If you really want to say why, it may be thanks to Meng Xin who read too many books in college, so he has a relatively deep understanding of human nature, "So I want you to try to empathize with it, like you said, before Liu Shuang appeared, you always felt that girls should marry and serve men well." That's the way the world is. But all of this is caused by the environment of your village. It's not your parents.

Just imagine, if you went through your life like this at that time, when you become a mother, will you naturally feel that your daughter should follow this path in the future? Because everybody is like that, because that's how the world is.

Then your parents, since they have lived in such an environment since childhood, they will have the idea of patriarchy, and they can't be completely blamed, just like you said to an ancient woman that three wives and four concubines were wrong, but she thought you were stupid. But having such a thought does not mean that they do not treat their daughters as human beings. These are two completely different concepts. Maybe when your sister was beaten, your parents secretly hid at home and cried. It's like when Zhu Ziwen went to spend money to buy you, he was treating you as a commodity, but your parents obviously refused.

And when he said that you were facing prison, your parents pressed their handprints without even thinking about it, and all this is not about patriarchy, only about their love for you. Of course, this is just my personal conjecture, after all, I have not been to your village, nor have I met your parents. More details, only you know. ”

Fan Likun on the other end of the phone opened his mouth wide at the moment and stayed in place. It took a long time to come back to his senses, "But, but Zhu Ziwen showed my parents those photos, how should I explain it when I go back?" ”

"How did Liu Shuang explain the outside world to you at the beginning?"

"Huh?"

"Since Liu Shuang can make you believe that the world in the village is different from the outside world, then why can't you, as their daughter? You don't need to be obsessed with explaining the pictures, you can let your parents know what the world really is. I'm sure you can do it, it's a big deal if you take them out and let them stay in Shanghai for a while, and have a good look at what the world is like. By that time, I'm sure you can get more surprises. ”

Fan Likun subconsciously stroked his chest, and his body couldn't help but tremble, "Meng Xin, thank you, thank you!" ”

"You're welcome, if only you could figure it out."

"Well, I've figured it out, I've figured it out now. When I've taken care of your Waibo incident, I'll go home!" ”

"It's okay, you can go home first, anyway, didn't you ask your senior brother and sister for help. I just took a look at the number of retweets and the number of comments that went up. ”

"No, since this report is my next step, it must be completed perfectly, this is my professional principle."

"Okay, then I won't bother with you about this little problem. If only the knot in your heart could be opened. ”

Hearing Meng Xin say that, Fan Likun's little face suddenly turned red, "Meng Xin, you are the second noble person in my life." ”

"No, I can't afford it. Okay, you should rest early, I guess you must have burned out your body today. ”

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you for so long. That... Get back in touch. ”

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Xin stretched, "I hope I didn't give her an idea." ”

moved his muscles and bones, and was about to chat with Fang Zhimeng, but Feng Qian called.

"Hey, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

"Ashin, I told my dad about us, and he was so happy that he was about to go to heaven."

"That's not good, I'm hanging up, I'm okay, I still have to chat with Mengmeng."

"You forgetful thing, of course there is something to find you, you think the master is happy to call you."

"If there's a fart, let it go."

"My dad agreed to let Uncle Zhou do it for us, tomorrow you send me the photos of the front and back of your ID card, and Xiao Mengning's, you tell her."

"Oh good."

"Huh?" Meng Xin jumped up from the bed, "Oh no, Xiao Mengning doesn't have an ID card..."
