The principal knew everything about Xie Ying, and he also knew that she was "bought."
The reason why it is difficult for every trafficked woman to escape is that the places to which they are abducted are often poor, backward, with congested traffic, and they are unfamiliar with the local area. More importantly, the local people do not think of "human trafficking." "What's wrong? They even think that "I gave the money" is a matter of course. Therefore, the entire village, from top to bottom, from old to young, has no sympathy for the women who were bought, and will not extend help. hand.
It is common for them to see people like Xie Ying who are obsessed with escaping or seeking death and survival. However, they will not realize that there is something wrong with their own behavior just because of these women's "unwillingness to give in." They may think that "these women have no conscience", or that "the boss is incompetent and cannot even look down on a woman."
Once it is discovered that a trafficked woman in the village has escaped, as long as a member of the family stands at the entrance of the village and howls, the whole village will go out to help find her.
What's more, when the police enter such a village to rescue these poor women, the villagers will actually "unite as one" to resist the police, and even initiate aggressive behavior towards the police.
In their view, men in the village "buy women" from outside to reproduce and carry on the family line. It is almost "this is how every family has always been." Why is it not possible all of a sudden?
Back to business.
After receiving the principal's promise, Zhao Liangshan agreed to let Xie Ying be a substitute teacher.
So, Xie Ying walked into the classroom and started her teaching career.
At the beginning, she encountered many problems. The older children could not read, and the younger children refused to study well. However, Xie Ying was not discouraged. She devoted all her efforts to each student. In every class, she would take notes in advance and use her own unique method to let students experience the charm of knowledge. She would also emphasize earnestly that , let children understand how important reading is to their future.
Slowly, Xie Ying's feelings for the children became deeper and deeper, and he also found the value of his life. She advocated that education should not only impart knowledge, but also cultivate morality. She firmly believes that only education can change the destiny of children in mountainous areas, realize their ideals, and help them escape from the isolation of the mountains and get rid of poverty and backwardness. Xie Ying believes that they are the future of the motherland and deserve better education and more care.
Therefore, Xie Ying made up his mind to care for and educate every child, trying to help them embark on a better path. Her hard work and persistence were not only recognized by the children, but also respected by the principal. Read the book
The classroom, which is always filled with children's laughter and laughter, is actually just a broken house with rammed earth walls and a thatched roof, with desks made of stone slabs and a podium made of tree stumps. The most valuable thing is that after it is built with blue bricks, it often The blackboard was polished and painted black. When the chalk was not enough, lime and mud were often used instead.
Just when Xie Ying was devoting herself wholeheartedly to the great cause of education and paralyzing herself, a sudden storm shattered the spiritual pillar that she relied on for survival.
This rare storm blew down the "classroom" which was not strong in the first place. The rammed earth walls collapsed and the thatched roof was overturned.
Early the next morning, the children stood in front of a pile of ruins carrying tattered schoolbags and stared blankly at Teacher Xie, but Teacher Xie was just as at a loss as they were.
After Xie Ying sent the children back, he went to find the principal, but the principal was not at home. The family said that he went to the county education bureau to ask for money and would not return until night at the earliest.
The principal didn't go home until the next night, but when he came back he found Xie Ying, but he didn't bring good news to Xie Ying.
The principal told Xie Ying that they were not the only schools affected by the storm. The county's disaster relief funds allocated to the county education bureau were stretched thin. After comprehensive consideration, the bureau leaders decided to allocate funds according to the size of the school. Those larger schools had more students because of their large number of students. , if the teaching venues cannot be rebuilt in time to allow students to return to school as soon as possible, the consequences or negative impacts will naturally be greater.
Those "teaching points" with a small number of students can only be temporarily ignored for reconstruction, but this cannot mean that the children in these schools have no
They cannot study in other places, so these children are temporarily sent to nearby and larger schools.
Xie Ying felt disappointed, but powerless.
A few days later, the principal found Xie Ying again and asked Xie Ying to teach at his home.
Xie Ying was very happy, but also baffled. ap..
The principal said that most of the parents in the village do not agree to let their children go to nearby schools because they have to pay boarding fees because they have to eat, drink and have sex. Parents are reluctant to part with this money, especially the older students. Their parents also expect them to help with household chores after school and send them to other schools so that no one will do the farm work at home.
Therefore, parents do not intend to let their children continue to study, but want them to help with work at home.
The principal reported this problem to the Education Bureau, but the Education Bureau was unable to do anything. He spread his arms and said that this is ultimately a problem of money. Problems that money can solve are not problems. The problem is that there is no money now and there is no way to provide you with teaching venues. thing. Apart from money, you can ask for other conditions. We can find a solution for blackboards, chalks, and exercise books.
What these officials have said is like saying nothing. The principal immediately stated that he would use a room in his home as a teaching venue and continue to allow children in the village to study at his home. However, he would need approval from the Education Bureau and the teaching resources you just mentioned. Want them all.
Of course, the Education Bureau fully supported it. Afterwards, they told the principal seriously that using the principal's home as a classroom was definitely not a long-term solution, but it was difficult to get the government's money right now. It would be best to find social funds or ask the villagers to donate. , build the teaching building immediately, this is the fastest way to fundamentally solve this problem.
The principal thinks that these officials can stand up and talk without hurting their backs. Where can he, a small principal in a poor mountain village, find social funds? Let the villagers donate? Don't be ridiculous, the villagers are not going to let their children continue to study in order to let them help the family with work. You still ask them to spend money to build a school? It would be nice if they could send their children to his home to continue their studies.
Xie Ying was naturally ecstatic about being able to teach children again, and she even felt energetic again. However, the principal’s nagging also made her start to worry: How can she get money? Solve the problem of teaching space.
Until one day, she heard that someone in the village helped hide and transfer "married" women. A woman could receive 50 yuan in "labor fees," which was almost equivalent to one month's salary at the time.
The so-called "outside marriages" are actually women who have been trafficked, and Xie Ying knows this very well.
At this time, Xie Ying was working as a teacher during the day, teaching children etiquette, justice and integrity, but when he returned to Zhao Liangshan's house at night, he had to sleep with his two sons. Nominally, Xie Ying is Zhao Youzhi's woman, but every night, besides Zhao Youzhi, the one who climbs into her bed is sometimes Zhao Youwei. She went from being ashamed to death at first, to being insensitive later, and now she is used to it.
She finally learned through word of mouth from the villagers that her two brothers abandoned her for the "betrothal gift" money. Thinking that the two brothers had indeed never been here again, Xie Ying quickly believed it. This also made her no longer obsessed with going home.
Being a teacher for the children in the village and helping them change their destiny is her only thought and spiritual support.
Xie Ying also wants to provide hiding or transfer "services" to "married" women, and then use the money earned to build schools, but this kind of thing must get Zhao Liangshan's consent and help.
Of course, she couldn't tell Zhao Liangshan that she made money because she wanted to build a school in the village, otherwise Zhao Liangshan would just think she was crazy.
So, during the summer vacation, Xie Ying found a high-sounding reason that Zhao Liangshan couldn't refuse:
She no longer wanted to sleep with brothers Zhao Youzhi and Zhao Youwei, and wanted to buy a woman for Zhao Youwei, and she would pay for the woman, but Zhao Liangshan had to find a way to get her on the line with the "matchmaker", except She provides hiding or transfer "services" to "married" women, and she can also act as a "matchmaker" (responsible for luring women into the trap).
As expected, Zhao Liangshan did not hesitate at all and quickly contacted his "acquaintances" in the village.
"An acquaintance" arranged for Xie Ying to go to various stations to "recruit workers."
When the summer vacation was coming to an end, Xie Ying returned to Zhaojiacun. She fulfilled her promise to Zhao Liangshan and gave him a sum of money, enough for him to buy a woman for Zhao Youwei.
After that, she quickly found the principal, handed the remaining money to the principal, and asked if the money would be enough to build a tile-roofed house as a school for the children.
The principal did not take the money, but asked her if she was working as a "matchmaker" outside. Seeing that she never said a word and did not dare to look at him, the principal sighed and took the money.
Xie Ying suddenly cried, saying that he didn't know whether what he did was right or not.
After the principal was stunned for a long time, he said that you are also solving the unmarried problem of many older men. Moreover, you are making money so that children can study. This is all about doing good and accumulating virtue.
The money Xie Ying gave to the principal was naturally not enough to build a tile-roofed house as a school, but she did not choose to continue to be a "matchmaker" or plunge into teaching and educating people. Instead, she turned around and found Zhao Liangshan. Discuss with him about starting a new business.
Xie Ying believed that being a "matchmaker" was too slow to make money. Since even the principal thought it was "doing good deeds and accumulating virtue," she would just throw away her arms and do it unscrupulously, making more money as quickly as possible. A real teaching building, so that children can truly get a "better education."
