CHAPTER XVIII

Wang Chu's second job was related to selling dog meat on a sheep's head, because she didn't want to go to a place like a hotel again, that is, a restaurant waitress, and everyone had to be experienced. She also asked about the city's senior hairstylists, but she had to start as an apprentice, with a salary of only 300 yuan a month, and she had to study for at least three years before she could get started with haircuts for customers.

chose to work in a low-end barber shop because the boss settled the salary every day, and Wang Chuliu and the fourth boss were still in charge of food and housing. The owner is a woman in her 40s, and arranged for her to live in the shop on weekdays, and with her previous experience, she took on the haircut and care in the shop. On the first day of work, she received the first pot of gold, 86 yuan, although it is not a formal job, she can save thousands of yuan in a month.

But in the next few days, Wang Chu found that all the women in the barbershop wore heavy makeup, some of them smoked, and their speech and behavior were really inappropriate. They don't take on haircuts and hair washing business, at first she didn't understand what they do, but after a long time, Wang Chu found that as long as a man came to the store, they would leave.

Wang Chu hated women smoking extremely much, and also had a strong sense of disgust for the men who came in, she tried to ask the boss when no one was around, "Boss, why did they follow those men?" ”

The boss immediately frowned, and looked at Wang Chu with an expression of looking at aliens, "You don't even understand this, do you?" Are you married? What else can you do if you are taken away by a man? ”

Wang Chu's eyes widened, the surprise on his face was genuine, at this time, a man came in the store, wearing black sunglasses, wearing a suit, and a tie, looking neat and neat, no different from Li Xiangyang, "Boss, arrange someone for me?" He asked.

"Our people are out, I'll call you to see who's free." The proprietress replied and immediately took out her phone.

"No, I think she's fine." The man pointed at Wang Chu and said.

The proprietress glanced at Wang Chu, "Sir, she is the one who washes and cuts hair in our shop, and she doesn't accept guests." ”

"Really?" The man looked at Wang Chu with a subtle expression, "Don't accept guests to come to this kind of place?" ”

Wang Chu was just about to refute, but was pulled by the boss, "Why don't you wash your hair first, she has good hair washing skills." ”

In fact, Wang Chu doesn't have any skills, and it has been less than half a month since he groped to wash his hair, and the boss is so elevated, it is just a means to retain guests.

"Okay." The man nodded, "Then I'll try it." ”

The man was lying on the shampoo bed, and Wang Chu brought a scarf to wrap around him, "Is the beauty married?" ”

Wang Chu didn't want to answer his words at all, but he still replied casually, "It's over." ”

"You are so beautiful, how can your husband be willing to let you come to such a place?"

Wang Chu didn't answer his words, she really shouldn't have come to this kind of place, she was full of disgust for everything here, and seemed to feel that the air here was difficult to breathe.

"Why don't you answer me?" The man continued, "If it were me, I would never let you show your head in such a place, and a woman as delicate as you should be suitable to keep at home." ”

Wang Chu smiled bitterly, "If you get married in the future, just keep your woman at home." ”

"I'm already married, and besides, my family is five big and three thick, which is the most suitable for showing up outside."

"You're married, huh?" The surprise on Wang Chu's face was genuine.

The man was stunned for a moment, "That's right." ”

"You're still coming to this kind of place when you're married?"

The man smiled, "Is there anything wrong?" There's nothing wrong with men coming out once in a while to relax, right? Then a lewd smile appeared on his face, "Especially when you meet a woman like you, it's easy to make people's hearts move." ”

Wang Chu pursed her lips slightly, as if she was cursing, but she couldn't find a more suitable word, and she couldn't say the cursed language, so she had to remain silent. She suddenly felt that Li Xiangyang still had some advantages, there are thousands of men in this world, Li Xiangyang would never enter this kind of place, he has strong work ability and a sense of responsibility. But a person like him will never consider the problem from the other party's point of view, and the word "violence" is not consistent with him at all. She knows that this is his most fatal point, no matter how strong his work ability and sense of responsibility are, maybe this fatal weakness can affect his future and life.

The silence lasted for a while, "Why don't you speak?" The man suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Chu's hand, she shook it off, aimed the spray head at the man, and sprayed him with water. The man screamed and rolled up from the wash-bed, yelling, "What are you going to do with this crazy woman? Neurotic, you? ”

"What's going on?" The proprietress walked in, saw that the man's face was covered with water, and turned around and asked Wang Chu, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Chu suppressed his anger and remained silent, not speaking.

"Didn't I just take your hand? As for you squirting me all over the water? ”

"I have never known you all my life, why are you holding my hand? If I don't spray you with water, what are you going to do next? Wang Chu's eyes widened and he breathed rapidly.

The proprietress is used to seeing such a man in front of her, and she has long been accustomed to it, "Come and I'll dry you." ”

"No need." The man wiped the water on his head angrily, tidied up his clothes, threw the towel on the hair bed, and walked away scolding, "Who is this?" It's a wonder. ”

The man left, Wang Chu was a little nervous, raised his brows, and waited for the boss lady to fall.

Unexpectedly, the proprietress laughed out loud, "At a young age, it's a bit like when I was young." ”

"You don't blame me?"

"What are you blaming for? You're right, to be honest, I admire a woman like you, clean in your bones, mature in your thoughts, not confused by money, and earn money to support your family with your own hands. ”

"That'...... Are you still ......? Next, Wang Chu didn't know how to ask, as if he wanted to take back what he said.

"You're trying to ask why I'm still in this business, aren't you?" The proprietress guessed correctly, Wang Chu was silent, she continued, "When I was young, I couldn't get used to this kind of behavior like you, and I didn't want any man I didn't like to touch my hand. It was a marriage that completely changed my mind, he brought the woman home and I found out, and in less than a month, transferred all the family's property to his parents' names, leaving me penniless from that house. From then on, I vowed that I would work hard to earn money, own my own house, and make my family rich. After more than ten years of housewife entering the society, it is really difficult to start a business, it is even more difficult to start a business without money, relatives and friends are unwilling to lend me money, I can't find business opportunities, this is the only way to invest less and make money quickly, so I chose this industry. ”

"Actually, I discriminate against this kind of industry, I think people in this life, especially women, must live innocently, so that they can be worthy of the body given by their parents, and let their offspring hold their chests high. I have always believed that there are many ways to make money, and the only thing that can't accept this is a shame for a woman for a lifetime. ”

"You want to know how many single men's emptiness these women have solved? It has also reduced the number of rape cases in China, and shame aside, these people can be regarded as contributing to society. ”

Wang Chu's eyes widened, "Why do you say the same thing as one of my younger brothers and daughters-in-law, I have discussed similar issues with her, and she has the same opinion as yours." ”

"This is a social reality, and we can't deny it."

Wang Chu frowned and stopped talking. Eventually, she was filled with disgust for the profession and has since completely left the barbering industry.

That day, Wang Chu went back to his room after eating, and the moment he opened the door, an incredible scene appeared in front of him. On her bed, a naked woman and a man were moaning, and she almost vomited from the food she had eaten. She felt that everything here was dirty, the air was dirty, the beds were dirty, the people were dirty, even the breath she exhaled was dirty, so she randomly packed a few things she had with her and fled there in a hurry.

Walking on the street, a refreshing cool breeze blew in his face, and Wang Chu felt a breath of fresh air. She had just sat down on the steps of the square to rest for a moment when the phone rang, and it was the barbershop proprietress calling.

"Wang Chu." She asked, "Where have you been?" ”

"I ......." Wang Chu replied, "Boss, I won't go back, I don't think I'm suitable to stay there at all." ”

"Okay, I know it's not for you here, so I won't advise you, I hope you find a job that suits you as soon as possible."

"Thank you, boss."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Chu sighed, his eyes were blank, his expression was dazed and helpless, at this time, her mobile phone rang again, it was Li Xiangyang calling, and she picked up the phone after watching it for a long time.

"Chu Chu." Li Xiangyang's voice on the other side of the phone was extremely gentle, "I have solved your work for you, you can come back to work quickly." ”

"What did you say?" Wang Chu was stunned for a long time, and she almost asked in a tone of disbelief,

"The leader has been studied by the party committee and agreed to solve your work, and after the probationary period of one year, you will be regularized, and you will come back to work as soon as possible."

This news was a big surprise for Wang Chu, but it gave a completely different answer to Yang Zhizhi.

"Chu Chu, let me tell you, this is Li Xiangyang's routine, you can't go back, he wants to solve the job for you and tie you for the rest of your life."

"I have to go back and try no matter what the knife is, and if I try it right, I don't have to work so hard to find a job."

"You're just putting yourself in for a job?" Yang Zhizhi jumped like thunder, looked at her and asked, "You can see Chu Chu clearly, a man like Li Xiangyang is not worthy of your life, a dog can't change eating, he has already beaten you twice, do you still believe her?" Yes, he Li Xiangyang may stop for a year or two, but if you Wang Chu make a little mistake, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will still do it, and it is more serious than before, do you believe it? ”

Wang Chu gritted her teeth and struggled hard, her eyes were full of tears, she believed Yang Zhizhi's words, so she nodded, "I believe what you said, but you also saw it, I've been in this city for almost half a year, what kind of jobs have I been looking for?" The work of the Eight Classics does not accept me at all, Li Xiangyang has solved the work for me now, and I will be a formal cadre in a year, this is my only opportunity to participate in the work, I must seize it, I will use a year or two, or even longer to get the custody of Haohao. ”

"I really can't persuade you, can I?" Yang Zhizhi smiled bitterly.

"That's right, I'm determined to go back."

Yang Zhizhi shook his head, "You will regret it, you know?" ”

"For Haohao's sake, I won't regret it."

"Do you know how much I feel sorry for you like this." Yang Zhizhi's tears were about to squeeze out, "I told you that even if Haohao gave it to him, it would be your flesh and blood when he grows up, and you didn't listen." ”

"Alright." Wang Chu paused for a while, "I know that you are for my good, but I have my own thoughts, going back does not mean that I want to live a good life with him, and when my work becomes a regular job, I will divorce him immediately." ”

Yang Zhizhi nodded lightly, "Okay, I won't persuade you, you protect yourself." ”

Wang Chu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Before leaving, Wang Chu went to the hospital again to check the eardrum, and the doctor said that the eardrum had recovered well in the past four months, and there was no need for repair surgery, but it was necessary to avoid re-injury.

Riding the return car home again, Wang Chu's heart was always difficult to calm down, she could have a hunch, she also had a feeling, and there were such strong signs, Li Xiangyang would never divorce easily, and the domestic violence incident would never stop because of the solution to the work, and she didn't know what kind of pain, frustration and tribulation she would have to go through in the future.

Back home, Wang Chu went to her mother-in-law's house, the bedroom and living room were empty, she saw her father-in-law in her mother-in-law's small bedroom, he was sitting on a chair, there was a plate of melon seeds on the table, since he quit smoking, eating melon seeds has become his daily life.

I thought that the guild would be very surprised when he saw Wang Chu come back, his contrast surprised him, he had a black face, and looked at her with extremely vicious eyes for only half a minute, and finally drooped his eyes, and what was even more unexpected was when she asked, "Dad, where are my mother and Haohao going?" The father-in-law's action was to get up from the chair, grab a handful of melon seeds, bypass her, and go out.

Wang Chu had nothing to say about her father-in-law's attitude, she walked out of the yard and went to the vegetable patch in the backyard, Li Haoran was really there, his little hand picked up the unripe strawberries and put them in his mouth, his mother-in-law picked most of the snow peas, she walked into the middle of the strawberry field, and Li Haoran looked up to see her.

"Mom." Li Haoran ran over and Wang Chu ran over.

Wang Chu hugged Li Haoran, "Son, do you miss your mother?" ”

"I think about it, where have you been, I miss you to death." Li Haoran hugged Wang Chu's neck and cried.

"Chu Chu is back?" There is a clear contrast between the mother-in-law's attitude and that of her father-in-law, "You're finally back." ”

"Mom, I took Haohao away." Wang Chu said that her mother-in-law wanted to hold her hand, but she withdrew her hand, but her mother-in-law cried and her eyes red.

Back in the building, Wang Chu changed Li Haoran into her newly bought clothes, and she pretended not to hear everything Li Xiangyang said and didn't pay attention to.

"You will go to work on Monday, the unit is next to the kindergarten, it will be convenient to pick up Haohao in the future, talk less and do more things in the unit, get along with colleagues better, the secretary of your unit and you have a surname, called Wang Xuewu, people are easier to talk, as long as you do your job well, he will not embarrass you for my face, and ......."

As soon as she said this, Wang Chu took Li Haoran out of the door, closed the door "bang", she took her son to Tumshuk City, and ate KFC once, in the group field, the child can't eat these.

"Mom, it's delicious." Li Haoran took a bite beautifully.

"Eat more if it's delicious, mom will often bring you to eat in the future, okay?"

"Okay." Li Haoran jumped up happily, and then he slowly stopped moving, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared, "Mom, don't leave in the future, I can't see my mother, I miss you so much." ”

Wang Chu's nose was sour, she saw Li Haoran's eyes full of tears, she held him in her arms, "Mom won't leave in the future, and she will never leave you again." ”
