Chapter 21 21

Although Dad Jiang only works at a construction site, he does not know nothing. In this era, various nightclubs, karaoke bars, dance halls and other places are very popular. If karaoke bars and dance halls are still places where young people like to sing and dance, then nightclubs represent something completely different.

Father Jiang asked, "What Little Paris Nightclub?"

"That's where I'm going to work." Jiang Xi looked like a country girl who had never seen the world. She smiled at Jiang Yueqin and said, "Sister Yueqin told me that place is very beautiful, with bright lights and wine, and magnificent things. Sister Yueqin said that the girls there make a lot of money, up to 700 or 800 yuan a month. Didn't Sister Yueqin bring back 5,000 yuan this time? She made 5,000 yuan in just half a year. Sister Yueqin said that some big bosses like people like me."

Jiang Yueqin was going crazy. She stood there at a loss, as if she had been exposed. She wanted Jiang Xi to shut up and stop talking. Facing Jiang's father's questioning eyes, she shook her head repeatedly: "No...no...I didn't...I didn't say that..."

Jiang Xi's face was still full of innocence and curiosity. She asked Jiang's father: "Dad, why would a big boss like someone like me?"

Her hair had grown a little after a month of growth during the summer vacation, but it was still uneven. Perhaps it was because she went out to catch and sell lobsters every day during this period. Even with a hat, she still got a little tanned. She had just started to grow taller, and she was thin and short, with a naive childish look on her face.

Father Jiang frowned and asked Jiang Yueqin: "Is what Qingqing said true? Are you working at the Little Paris nightclub?"

Jiang Yueqin shook her head in panic and shouted: "No, no, no? Are you going or not? If you don't want to go, forget it! It was your mother who begged me to take you there, not me who asked you to go!" She suddenly threw her hands away fiercely and ran out in a hurry. She ran all the way home with her heart beating very fast.

She was afraid that Father Jiang and Mother Jiang would tell others about her working as a hostess in a nightclub.

It was one thing for her to do it, but it was another thing for others to know about it. She still had to get married. How could she get married if others knew about it?

She was very nervous and didn't know who to tell. Originally, if she took Jiang Xi with her, as long as Jiang Xi also went into that place, she would be in the same group with her, so she naturally didn't dare to come back and say anything nonsense, but now it was different, they knew.

In order to avoid a long sleep, she went back and picked up her luggage and wanted to leave immediately, but the tricycle she had booked was for tomorrow morning. If she left now, she could only take the ferry and walk a long way to Tanshan. Only in Tanshan could there be a car to the town, but once she got to the town, it was a long way away from her grandmother's hometown.

As she was about to go out with her luggage, her roommate greeted her: "Yueqin, what are you doing with your bag? Aren't you leaving tomorrow morning? Why are you carrying your bag now?"

Jiang Yueqin was still standing at the intersection looking at both sides, wondering which way to go, when Jiang's mother rushed over, grabbed her curly hair, and slapped her twice: "You are a black-hearted whore. You work as a prostitute in some nightclub, and then you come back to lie to us that you are a waitress. You even want to take my daughter to that place. You have a black heart!"

Jiang's mother was among the top three tallest women in the village. She was strong and had great strength. She always hit people with all her might. After one slap, Jiang Yueqin was stunned.

Even if Jiang Yueqin wore high heels, she was not as tall as Jiang Ma, not to mention that she had stayed there for so many years and had not done farm work, so she was no match for Jiang Ma.

But after all, at the door of Jiang Yueqin's house, her parents and brother rushed out to pull Jiang Ma: "What are you doing? Why are you hitting people?"

Jiang Yueqin's father saw that Jiang Ma was really tough, so he hurried back to get a hoe and came out. When he came out, he saw Jiang Dad who also hurried over.

Jiang Dad's nickname was "Big Guy". He was the tallest in the village and was also very strong. Just poking him was very intimidating. Jiang Yueqin's father was not even as tall as Jiang Dad's shoulders.

He held the hoe but didn't dare to step forward, only shouting: "Big guy, hurry up and help your Ailian, she was fine yesterday, why are you fighting today? We are all relatives, let's talk it out!"

Jiang's mother slapped Jiang Yueqin again, pulling out a lot of her hair, her face full of anger: "Your Yueqin is a whore outside, I don't believe you parents don't know anything! Knowing that this black-hearted person is a whore and wants to take my daughter to that place, you are all black-hearted!" She pushed Jiang Yueqin away and went to beat Jiang Yueqin's mother.

Rural women usually fight back and forth, rarely like Jiang's mother, who crushes one side.

Jiang Xi also rushed over and saw Jiang Yueqin's brother picking up a stone to throw at Jiang's mother. He ran over and kicked him into the ditch.

The ditch had been pumped by a pump before, and even if the pump stopped, there was still half of the water in the ditch. Jiang Yueqin's brother was suddenly knocked into it, which scared his mother. She cried and shouted, "Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

This is the big family gathering area. When they heard the noise, they came out to take sides, and some even held their bowls.

The people in the big family were very united, so they naturally helped Jiang Yueqin's family to pull Jiang's mother. Seeing so many people going to pull Jiang's mother, Jiang's father also joined in.

The pressure from Jiang's father was too strong. The women in the village, who were generally not tall, did not dare to pull Jiang's father, nor did they dare to take sides. It was actually Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang who heard the noise and rushed over, followed by some people from the third house.

Aunt Jiang was short and fat, and she looked like she had no fighting ability, but Uncle Jiang was as strong as Jiang's father.

Jiang Yueqin was pushed down by Jiang's mother and fell to the ground. The key point was that she twisted her foot and could only be beaten by Jiang's mother.

The people from the first house wanted to come over to pull Jiang's mother, but were slapped by Jiang's mother by mistake.

The people from the third room and the others who came over were all asking, "Ailian, what's wrong with Ailian? Stop beating her!"

Jiang's mother was satisfied with the beating, and then she pointed at Jiang Yueqin's family and cursed, "They are such evil people. Yueqin is a prostitute outside, and they use the money she earned from her prostitution to build a house. They think everyone is like them, asking for money from their daughter's prostitution? They actually want to take our Xiaoxiao to that place, too. Bah!"

Jiang's mother spat fiercely in Jiang Yueqin's face.

Jiang Xiao had grown up so much, and this was the first time she saw Jiang's mother defending her.

From childhood to adulthood, she always told her, "We work hard every day, we are exhausted, and we still have to deal with your affairs. Be good to me. If anyone wants to make trouble for me, don't say that others will beat you, I will beat you first!"

What is a child like without parents to support him?

He is timid, cowardly, and inferior. He dares not fight for anything, will not refuse, and will not say "no".

The first time she knew that people can refuse others and say "no" to others was when she read a book by Taiwanese writer Wu Danru. The book taught you little by little how to refuse others' unreasonable requests and say "no" to things you don't want to do.

She learned so clumsily.

Jiang Ma's words spread among the crowd. Everyone looked at Jiang Yueqin in surprise. Immediately, everyone started gossiping, and their voices were louder than Jiang Ma's.

"What? Yueqin is a prostitute outside?"

"Is it true? Didn't she say she was a waitress?"

"I was saying, how can a waitress bring back 5,000 yuan in half a year? Look at what she is wearing, it's probably more than 5,000."

"If she is a prostitute, then she is a prostitute. Why does she want to take Xiaoxiao with her? How old is Xiaoxiao?"

"She wants to hurt people, and she is harming people from her own village."

"Isn't this too bad? Xiaoxiao, a little girl, was taken to that kind of place, and her life is ruined."

"Look at what she is wearing, which decent girl would wear that?"

Everyone blamed Jiang Yueqin, who was knocked to the ground by Jiang's mother, and they also looked down on Jiang Yueqin's parents.

Jiang Yueqin fell to the ground, her fashionable clothes were covered with dust, her curly hair was scattered all over her face, she buried her face in her arms, not daring to move.

If such a thing was not spoken, she would not think it was a big deal, but once her clothes were torn open and exposed to the sun, she felt ashamed as if she had been stripped naked. Even Jiang Yueqin 's parents, who had been pretending not to know what their daughter had done, covered their faces in shame and wanted to hide at home, leaving Jiang Yueqin lying on the ground alone, with no one to take care of her.

The people in the first room did not dare to intervene, as this was too embarrassing.

Some people even said thankfully: "Fortunately, my daughter is not at home. She came to ask my Xiangqin when she would come back, saying that she would take my daughter there for the New Year!"

"Bah! You are such a troublemaker!"

Thinking of her own daughter being taken to that place by her, there would be no place to cry.

Jiang Yu said, "She told me before that she has found a few other girls. Aunties, do you know who she found? Tell their families quickly, otherwise they will be taken to that place and their lives will be ruined."

A young sister-in-law from the big house next door said quickly, "I know, my mother's family and her grandmother are from the same village!"

"Then you should go to your mother's family and inform them quickly, don't let this girl harm you!"

"I don't know if there are people from other villages, everyone should be informed."

The women in the village all came from nearby villages and towns. When they heard the news, they all said, "I should go back to my mother's family and tell them quickly, so that no one will be harmed by Jiang Yueqin if they don't know."

"Wouldn't the whole village know that there is a prostitute in our village?" There were also men in the village who disagreed with them spreading the news, because then the whole village would not be able to hold their heads up.

This was the case in Jiang Wu's previous life. Everyone in the village knew what Jiang Yueqin was doing outside, but everyone kept silent.

"So we're just going to watch her harm people?" The women were different from the men in the village. At this time, most of the people in the village were from the same clan and had kinship with each other. No matter what, their relatives must be notified.

"Ask her who she has harmed before!"

Jiang Yueqin, who was surrounded and lying on the ground pretending to be dead, was already in tears. Only then did she cry and say, "I didn't, I didn't harm anyone! I didn't take anyone out!"

Jiang Xi was the first person she brought. She had been there for a long time. Seeing others bringing their fellow villagers here and getting money, she came up with the idea of ​​bringing people from the same village here to make money. In the first few years when they started working in the sea, the people there looked at them very badly and didn't allow them to come back during the Chinese New Year. It was only in recent years that they became familiar with the business and were willing to come back, so they were allowed to come back during the Chinese New Year. The holiday was particularly short, after all, the Chinese New Year was the best time for business.

When Jiang's mother heard that the first person Jiang was going to harm was Jiang Xiao, she was so angry that she slapped her twice again: "You think our Xiao Xiao is easy to bully!" She turned around and scolded Jiang Xiao: "You are also a coward! You didn't say anything when you were deceived like this, you deserved to be deceived! Why didn't she go and deceive Piano and Lotus? It's because you are a coward every day! She wanted to take you to some nightclub, and you didn't even tell us?"

Jiang's mother also wanted her daughter to make money, but she didn't think about letting her make this dirty money. What about reputation? She still has two sons who are going to college. Once this kind of reputation gets out, three generations will be looked down upon.

"What?" Jiang Xi asked in confusion, "Didn't you drag me there?"
