"Why did you come to Shanghai?"

"What options do people in the deep mountains have if they want to come out to work? Aren't the only places they can go to are Guangdong and Shanghai? At that time, I was following a eldest sister from our village. came out. This eldest sister came out for three years, and then she was very rich when she came back. She drove a car back to the village. The people in the village were shocked, and everyone regarded her as the God of Wealth, and kept begging her. She took her children out to work. Since our family was somewhat related to hers, my mother begged her and she agreed to take me out. In addition, she also brought several other girls in the village, all of whom were like me. The older one, I remember I just finished junior high school that year, and I was just sixteen years old. She brought us to Shanghai, so I came to Shanghai." Huang Wanting said.

"Then why didn't you follow your eldest sister later? Isn't she quite rich?"

Hearing this, Huang Wanting smiled and said: " She brought a few of us to Shanghai. What do we kids from the mountains know? It was the first time we saw a big city like Shanghai, and we couldn’t even tell the difference between east, west, and west. After she came here, she bought us clothes. She taught us how to put on makeup. At that time, I thought she was really good to us. Then, she took us to nightclubs and hotels. You know what she was doing without me telling you, right?" Huang Wanting asked with a smile.

"Huh? Is... you doing that?" Fang Zhiqiang looked at Huang Wanting with his eyes wide open in surprise.

"Why are you looking at me like that? If I really do that, will I be reduced to selling music and living in the basement? After knowing that I am doing that, I will definitely not do it. I won’t do it even to death. She tried to persuade me many times but I didn’t do it. She didn’t force me, she just let me take care of myself. But I was not familiar with this place, a little girl, I remember that time She stayed on a chair in the park for two days and two nights. After all, we were from the same village, so she couldn't bear it. She came to me and asked me if I would like to follow her and have sex with her, or would I rather live on the streets and starve to death. , I chose to starve to death. She finally helped me find a job as a cleaning lady in a hotel, because she only had some connections with the people in the hotel. From then on, I began to live in the city of Shanghai. . I worked as a cleaning lady in a hotel, then as a hotel waiter, and finally as a hotel front desk. After I had a quarrel with my boss, I was kicked out, and I went to work in many other jobs. During this period, I was studying at a training school. Vocal music, because I like singing. Two years ago, my last job was fired by my boss, and there were some other changes at home, so I finally chose to work in places like nightclubs." Huang Wanting said With.

“What about the girls who came with you?”

“That eldest sister died last year.”

“ Dead?" Fang Zhiqiang was shocked.

“I also took drugs due to AIDS, so I died very early. I went to see her before she died last year. It was very miserable. When she saw me before she died, she cried like something. If she could have been like me back then, she wouldn't be where she is today. As far as I know, among the other girls, there are some who are doing well and some who are not doing well. The one who is doing well is now a big boss. My second wife, I don’t know how old she is, but she is very rich. She has a house with her name on it in Shanghai, and she drives a BMW. The one who is not doing well is still taking orders at the hotel, but she is far richer than me. Money. I was the worst off, still living in the basement. Two years ago when I went home for the Chinese New Year, my mother scolded me for being useless. The girls who went out with me made a lot of money every year. With the money sent back home, each family has built a big house, but I only send so little money home every year, and I can’t even afford to build a house at home, let alone marry my brother,” Huang Wanting said. As he spoke, Fang Zhiqiang finally saw tears in the eyes of this free and easy girl.

"How could your mother say that to you? Did she ask you to do that too?" Fang Zhiqiang was a little angry.

“What does she know about a rural woman whose furthest place she has ever been is a county town? Not only her, but no one in the village knows what we people do here. Everyone only knows us. They came out to work. As far as I know, except for me, all the other girls who came out were doing that. When they went home, they didn’t tell their families that they were doing this. They just said they were going to work. , so people in the village don’t know this at all, they only know that they are all rich, but I have no money, and everyone looks down on my mother. It’s hard for me to talk about these things when I go back. People have their own choices. Everyone walks in People in this industry are helpless, so my mother complained about me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I just hope to work hard to make more money to go home and help the family.” Huang Wanting smiled when she said this.

"I admire you very much." Fang Zhiqiang said to Huang Wanting seriously.

　"What do you admire about me? What is there to admire? Everyone likes different things, so they choose different paths. I like music, so I chose music. I hope I can do it. Regarding things related to music, I don’t want to sell my body or my soul. And they like money, so they choose money. They would rather sell their body and soul for money. I don’t think they are wrong. In fact, we came out in the first place These girls were all like me at the beginning. Everyone knew that this was not good and they were not willing to do it. But how could we survive if we didn’t do it? We could only choose to live on the streets like me and starve to death. They compromised in front of them, and once you embark on this road, there is no turning back. I am the one who will not admit defeat even to death. So, I survived." Huang Wanting said lightly.

　“In the early yearsWe still have contact information with each other. After all, we come from the same village. But in the past few years, I have completely lost contact with them. Their contact information and names often change. Moreover, because they have chosen different paths and lived different lives, we have nothing to talk about. Yes, we can't even talk to each other. In addition, they don't like me to know too much about them. They are mainly afraid that I will talk nonsense when I go back. Therefore, now I have no contact with them at all. They are now living I don't know what happened. That's fine, let's each live our own lives. I hope they can all have a good ending. Huang Wanting said with a sigh. She never said a word to look down on these people from beginning to end.
