Gong Yan is a mute single mother.
Before she turned 18, her biological parents collected a dowry of 10,000 yuan and took her away with drums and gongs.
After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a daughter, and Gong Yan's miserable life began.
Her parents-in-law disliked her as a hen that didn't lay eggs.
Apart from working in the fields, men spend their time either at the card table or drinking.
He came back drunk and took advantage of her.
As her daughter grew up day by day, Gong Yan didn't want to endure it anymore.
He didn't even take a change of clothes with him. He only took the 200 yuan he had saved and fled to the provincial capital overnight with his daughter on his back.
By picking up bottles and garbage and sleeping under bridges, Gong Yan saved 5,000 yuan in a year.
Then, he spent three thousand yuan to send his daughter of the right age to kindergarten.
While her daughter goes to school during the day, she works in a restaurant.
In the evening, I take my daughter to paint and do handicrafts.
Life is so much more comfortable and happy than before.
But Gong Yan felt that she couldn't wash dishes for the rest of her life.
The handicrafts in the kindergarten, which she and her daughter worked on all night long, would be displayed on the display cabinet in the kindergarten.
After coming back from school, the little girl's face turned red with excitement, and she chattered about how the teacher praised them for their dexterity and that the other children also liked the teddy bear doll and so on.
As the number of such activities increased, Gong Yan wondered if some parents were too busy with work to spend time with their children making handicrafts. Step by step, she has now opened her Pinxixi store named "Yan Yan Hui Happiness".
They are just little gadgets.
A rag doll.
Knitted small ornaments.
There are also rubber band hairpins and blingbling princess jewelry bought from the wholesale market.
The number of orders is not large, but in a month, it is enough for her and her daughter to maintain basic food and clothing.
Gong Yan has thought it through.
Once she has saved up 20,000 yuan, she will enroll her daughter in her favorite roller skating sport.
Everything was normal the night before.
But when Gong Yan sent her daughter to kindergarten the next day and returned home to check the order, she found something wrong.
There are more than two thousand more orders in the background.
All I bought were the same thing: a diamond necklace set that cost $1.90.
For the more than one thousand orders afterwards, the buyers also left a note: No need to ship, I wish you happiness, thank you!
When she was doing handicrafts in the past, she was worried that the buyers would give bad reviews due to slow delivery. She wrote in the product details that she was mute, not well educated, and she was the only one managing the shop, so she asked everyone to understand that the delivery might be slow.
Because of this, and to prevent some people from sympathizing with her and taking more photos, Gong Yan also set a limit of two pieces per person for each item.
At this moment, there are more than 2,000 orders, and each order is 2 pieces.
There is also a message saying "No need to ship".
No matter how stupid Gong Yan was, she knew what had happened.
Every buyer clicked and replied "Thank you".
Most of them did not reply, but some replied with warm wishes, and some said "Believe in Sister Wan and you will have eternal life."
Gong Yan searched for Wan Jie and saw the fairy-like girl.
And the diamond necklace around her neck with a wholesale price of 1.9.
Almost instantly, Gong Yan knew who she was.
Opening the order backend, Gong Yan found the buyer named Xiao Wan from a week ago.
Xiaowan bought two necklaces.
Then, I bought two copies of everything on the shelves in her shop.
If there wasn't a limit, Gong Yan suspected that Xiao Wan might have bought out all the stock in her store that day?
Many girls' faces appeared in front of Gong Yan.
At the county long-distance bus station, there was the older sister who cursed at her and urged her to get on the bus, but did not take her ticket money.
The proprietress of a restaurant in the provincial capital who gave her a kettle of hot water when washing dishes and an extra tea egg when eating.
Also, there are those young and beautiful female teachers in the kindergarten.
Gong Yan also recalled a time when she took her daughter to KFC. When she was ridiculed by a rich woman for not dressing well, another girl helped her to scold back, wiped her daughter's hands with tissues, and treated them to ice cream cones.
She muttered to the girl next to her, "Girls help girls!"
Gong Yan didn't know what that meant.
But now my daughter is in elementary school. I hear her reciting words every day and she knows that "girl" means girl and "help" means help.
Gong Yan felt that she seemed to know what it meant.
