Chapter 32: Chery's Struggle with Strange Parents
The fourth update
"The slave happens to have a factory, and some of the delicate work of the factory also uses female workers. However, they are not very literate, and the factory of the slaves makes pianos, so they cannot deliberately set up a technical school. It's just that after work every day, people are led to read and write with male workers, and then know accessories. And, of course, learn simple German. Because the engineer is German, he will eventually go, and these technicians are the seeds of our own technology in the future. Chery said with a smile.
The industry in Beijing is not as much as Tianjin, after all, from the transportation point of view, Beijing at this time is not as cheap as Tianjin has a seaport. Therefore, Chery's piano factory is opened in the suburbs of Beijing, to put it bluntly, it is to serve these nobles in Beijing. Small quantities are sold abroad. And he is also the first to make pianos, and he does everything by himself, which is more troublesome than others.
"So what? Can they support themselves now? Xianfeng hurriedly asked.
It's a bit hard to say, but when it comes to salary, of course they can support themselves. But they are all country children, and there are still a lot of people at home to support, and they can come out to do things, and the food and use are all from the factory, and the salary is to be handed over to the family. The slave's wife felt that this was not right, and invited the families of the female workers to the factory, and I asked them to divide their salaries in two parts. Some of it was given to the family as a reward for their nurturing kindness. The remaining part will be deposited into the bank by the treasurer for them. Wait for something really big, and then ask the financial without. Chery came out and replied.
At that time, he didn't think there was anything wrong with the parents who gave the salary to the children, but Jian Dong'er objected, saying that these girls didn't have a penny, where did the daughter's family get the expenses from? In the future, if you have a person you like and want to get married, will your family take care of it?
Chery didn't think that the family would care, but Jian Dong'er deliberately found an article written by Qingyu and handed it to him. He has read this article, it was written by Qingyu a few years ago, and it was for the conscience of the reader.
It is said that a village is too poor, so the girls in this village grow up and work in the big city to help the family support their younger siblings. The daughter of one of the families was lucky, and soon after, the girl had a crush and wrote home, and her mother asked her to help the family for a few more years. The girl missed her first marriage.
A few years later, the girl finally met someone who was willing to take care of her, but her mother still cried and begged her to help the family for a few more years, and the girl missed a second chance.
By the third time, the girl stopped writing because she knew that the family would not agree. The man wrote a letter to the girl's parents.
When the country people read the letter, they all asked the literate gentleman in the village to read it, and when the letter arrived, the literate gentleman in the village was not there, so a young master who had just returned home from vacation in the city helped the old woman read the letter. At the end of the letter was written, 'Tiger poison does not eat children'. The old woman wept bitterly, crying and making trouble in the village, saying that she was not a bad mother, but that she could not support so many children by herself.
When the little young master was frightened and didn't know what to do, the old gentleman in the village came back and hurriedly said that the little young master had read it wrong, and the old gentleman read it again. After reading it, he erased the last sentence of 'tiger poison does not eat children', appeased the mother, and then told the young master to have a conscience of a scholar!
After the story was over, Qingyu scolded, what is the conscience of a reader? The conscience of the scholar is to avenge the weak, and the mother has repeatedly sucked the blood of her eldest daughter, three years and three years, and after nine years, how young a child should have grown to nine years old, why persecute the eldest daughter?
The young master who read the letter grew up, and the realization was, 'If you have the ability, you should do something for the people next to you.' Knowledge is not just for profit; Knowledge can be offered; Knowledge can be used to help others. ’
But the little young master didn't mean what Qingyu meant, Qingyu agreed with his words, but what she thought was helping was not to hurt the mother without words. It's about helping the poor girl, who has already missed the flowering period, and if she misses this time, there is really no hope.
Jian Dong'er is also the eldest daughter, and she also dragged her younger siblings to the age of eighteen, if it weren't for Chery, she might also be lonely all her life. When she saw this story, she resonated more than the average person. She was glad that she didn't have that kind of mother in her family. Her family doesn't have to give up everything to support her, but she can understand the loneliness of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who goes to work alone to feed her family. And this burden, obviously, the mothers want her to carry it for the rest of her life.
So when she knew that the female workers in the factory were paid by their parents, she was furious and firmly refused to allow it. Chery also thought about it, and it wasn't a big deal, so he helped her coordinate.
"And they promised?" Xianfeng was stunned for a moment, this kind of operation is actually very dangerous, why should people believe them. Put the money in the bank, but they can't withdraw it themselves. The girls' parents will also think that the factory is nosy, and even suspect that the factory will give away their other half of the salary.
"Of course not, those stupid parents treat their daughters like livestock, thinking that it is already a great blessing to let them live, to give them a bite to eat, and to let them grow up, of course they have to do their best for the family." Chery thought about the events of that day, and he felt disgusted and speechless.
That day, he made people quiet, he read the story in the newspaper aloud, and the girls who sat in the front row were all girls who came to work, and they were moved at once, just like Jian Dong'er. They knew at once that the girl who was reported today was their tomorrow, and they could only cry softly.
And the parents in the back, like the mother in the newspaper, cried and fussed, swearing that they would not. But is Chery the kind of person who will believe in people's swearing? Obviously not, so he also wants to believe that they are not, if not, dare not sign a contract with him, he is also the prime minister of a country, he can sign a contract with them, and if he ignores their salary, they can go to the yamen to sue him.
"In this way, they won't be willing to sign a contract, right?" Xianfeng frowned.
"Yes, because my daughter's money will be saved, and if there is a big event, it can only be taken out. So these parents tried all kinds of tricks to get their daughters to take out the money and give it to them. However, they have to apply, and then we will meet to find out, and in short, if the girl marries herself, the money cannot be withdrawn. Of course, we still give the girls some pocket money every month, and we can't buy a headline without any money. ”
Chery thought about the tricks played by those people over the years, and he was speechless. And Jian Dong'er didn't go to the factory to get along with those girls, telling them that they should respect themselves and love themselves, it's not that you are unfilial, but you can't condone it.
