In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. After a lively New Year, Ding Ming, Pan Ning and their family were about to leave.

On the day of departure, Jianshu and his family of three went to see him off. Li Li was now busy with the graduates and had no time to spare.

Jian Shu handed the bag to Pan Ning. "There are some food in it. Take it with you on the way. When you get there, remember to call me often."

"I will. You guys should take good care of yourself in Beijing. Remember to come visit me in Shenzhen during the summer vacation."

"Yes." Jian Shu took a step forward, gently hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "There is a note in the bag. If you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, you can contact the person at the address above."

Pan Ning paused slightly, then hugged her tightly without saying a word.

Jian Shu patted her gently on the back and said, "Don't force yourself no matter what happens. Remember, Lily and I will always stand behind you."

"Yeah." Pan Ning buried his face in Jianshu's shoulder and rubbed it gently.

The two sisters on this side said goodbye reluctantly, while the two sisters on the other side were more emotional.

Gu Yiyi took Ding Yue's hand and said, "Sister Yue, can you stay here? We can go to school together like before. What if someone bullies you over there?"

Ding Yue looked at her, then looked back at her parents with a conflicted look on her face.

She wanted to follow her parents, but she couldn't bear to leave them.

Ever since she transferred to another school that year, the little sister who was not even as tall as her but always protected her behind her back became another ray of light in her heart.

Although she is the older sister, most of the time, she depends on her younger sister.

"Yi Yi." Unable to say no, Ding Yue held Gu Yi Yi's hand tightly, unwilling to let go.

Seeing this, Gu Yiyi hugged her and comforted her gently, "It's okay, Sister Yue. If you are unhappy there, just call me and I will ask mom to pick you up."

"Yeah." Ding Yue nodded gently, hugging her sister and not wanting to let go.

Compared with the reluctant farewell of the female comrades, the atmosphere on the male side was much better.

Ding Ming held his son's hand and said something to Gu Mingjing with a beaming expression. Instead of being reluctant to leave, he seemed to be impatient.

Yes, it is naturally a happy thing for a family to be reunited.

The train arrives at the station, and no matter how reluctant we are, we have to part.

Jian Shu let go of Pan Ning's hand and said with a smile, "Have a safe journey."

Not only on this journey, but also in the rest of your life, I wish you a smooth journey!

…

After seeing off Pan Ning and his family, Jianshu became busy again.

After several years, several factories have developed very well. The earliest Huayi clothing store has expanded over the past few years and now has more than 30 stores in more than a dozen cities across the country.

In order to further reduce costs and improve transportation efficiency, Jianshu built a branch factory in Jiangcheng, Jiangsu Province and Beijing City respectively last year and the year before.

While greatly improving transportation efficiency, it also created many jobs for the local area. Because most of the workers in the garment factory are women, she is even more attentive to their welfare.

She will always remember what she experienced in the staff housing compound.

She cannot change the social environment that favors boys over girls. All she can do is provide them with a job to give them an economic foundation and the right to say "no".

In this era, many women endure oppression and refuse to divorce, largely because they dare not. It's because after divorce, there's no place for them in the world.

She gave them this shelter. Maybe the dormitory was small, narrow and crowded, but when they had no other choice, this was a pure land.

They can overcome difficulties here and start a new life.

Therefore, at the beginning of the factory construction, Jianshu was very strict in the management of the dormitory. She did not want it to become a smoky and foul place like many factory dormitories in later generations.

Once you enter the factory, you are her employee, and she will not allow anyone to bully her on her territory.

Fortunately, she had never worried about security since the beginning of her business, and the security department had been working very hard to maintain the safety of the factory.

The environment has a huge impact on people. The first batch of female workers at the Suicheng Garment Factory have been working in the factory for four years.

And now, they are completely different from what they were four years ago.

They have become more confident. They no longer have to lower their voices or keep their heads down at home. They can speak louder, turn their heads when they are unhappy, send their daughter to school, and say "no" when they don't like something.

Do their families agree? Of course not.

But what if they don't want to? When the women workers stop accepting things and learn to resist, things will no longer go as they wish.

Without them, female workers can move into the factory dormitory or use their wages to buy a small house to support themselves and their children.

No more washing and cooking for the whole family, no more working hard all day and not getting a word of thanks, no more enduring beatings and kicks from men, no more...

Last year, a female worker at the Suicheng Garment Factory got divorced. As soon as the news came out, it instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Mocking, sneering, watching the fun, looking expectantly...

Most of them thought that she had made a wrong decision. What good could a divorced woman have?

But the desperate female worker turned a blind eye to all this and moved into the factory dormitory with her daughter.

Then he worked even harder, and finally, after half a year, he was promoted to team leader and saved enough money to buy a small home for the mother and daughter.

She also raised her daughter to be plump and white, and she became cheerful again.

There may still be some gossip in life, but they no longer have to worry about being suddenly pulled out of bed and beaten in the middle of the night.

The little girl no longer has to worry about being secretly sold by her grandparents with sinister eyes.

The mother no longer has to work while worrying about her daughter at home.

The lives of the mother and daughter were getting better and better, in stark contrast to her ex-husband's family, whose lives were getting worse and worse.

Without the two punching bags at home, the man with some violent tendencies accidentally hit someone and seriously injured him during an argument.

He spent all his money to compensate the other party, but still had a criminal record and was fired from his job.

His mother, who was so eager to have a grandson that she tortured her granddaughter, lost her daughter-in-law who allowed her to torture her. She slipped and broke her leg while washing clothes.

His father, who turned a blind eye to everything at home and acquiesced to it, was also mentally exhausted by the series of accidents at home and made a big mistake at work.

The family that originally seemed to be "harmonious and happy" finally revealed its dark and dirty nature hidden underneath after the mother and daughter who had endured all the hardships were gone.
