"If we go out and get pointed at and looked down upon, even our own parents will look down on us, then we might as well just die now."
"Actually, you all know what consequences we will face if we go out, so just let us die. Once we die, everything will be over."
Xia Jin looked at them and thought about everything in his mind, but he couldn't think of a good solution.
She knew that what they said was true. In this era, a woman's reputation was still very important. Although this matter was not their fault, if they went home, they would definitely be criticized by others.
They will say that flies don't bite seamless things, but why do others only seduce you and not others? It's because you are dressed too revealingly and don't look like a decent woman at first glance. You brought this upon yourself.
It would be fine if only the neighbors said this, but many parents also blame their daughters in this way, blaming them for bringing disgrace to their family's reputation and preventing their sons from finding wives.
The biggest blow comes from family, and then there are the rumors among neighbors. They are pointed at and talked about as soon as they go out. They might as well die.
Rumors can kill people, invisibly, and they don't have to take responsibility. After you die, they may still say that it was all your own fault. Why don't others do the same?
But looking at their young faces, she thought they shouldn't be like this. They should have a good job and a happy family, instead of being like now, full of suicidal thoughts at such a young age.
She buried herself quietly in Gu Jingmo's arms, not wanting to see such a scene again. It could be said that she was escaping from herself.
He was in the same situation, but he believed that his family would not let him fall into such a situation, and he was strong enough in his heart and was not afraid of what they said.
Besides, I will be going to the capital soon, and then no one will say ambiguous words to me.
How should I look at her like this? I lowered my head and whispered, "Do you want to help them?"
The last time I heard him say this, I looked up at him in surprise and blinked twice quickly, as if to say: Do you have any good ideas?
Seeing him like that, Gu Jingmo unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, then poked her cheek, then raised his head and said:
"If you get out, I have a way to help you, but the prerequisite is that you stay alive first and don't do anything stupid."
After hearing what he said, some people looked up at him, with a glint of surprise in their eyes, but it only lasted for a moment, and then they lowered their heads and stopped looking at him.
The policemen also looked up at him, wondering if he had any good ideas or if he just wanted to say, "Save the people first."
The leader said to him:
"There's no other way. What can you do? Can you help us shut these people up? Can you make our families accept us without distractions?"
"You can't. You just want to find a reason to save us first, but have you ever thought about what kind of life we will live in the future?"
"Is it better to be hastily married off to a man in his 40s or 50s by my family, or to hastily end my own life to preserve my family's reputation?"
"Looking at the way you're dressed, you must be from a wealthy and powerful family. You can certainly not care, but we can't."
Gu Jingmo looked at them and said word by word: "I didn't lie to you. And if it was to keep you alive, then there is absolutely no need for me to tell such a lie."
"Because even if I told such a lie, if I couldn't fulfill it outside, you would still be heartbroken, so why would I bother with it?"
"You also said that I look like someone powerful and influential. Do you think I can't solve this problem?"
"Do you want to go to Beijing? Earn money and support yourself in a new environment. No one will know about your affairs. If you want to go, then live well."
"Take care of your health. I don't want sick employees. That's all I have to say. Whether to live or die, you decide for yourselves."
"I'm not related to you. We just met by chance. If it weren't for my girlfriend feeling sorry for you and being sad if you died like this, I wouldn't care about you."
"Because I think people who easily seek death don't deserve help. Do you know how many police officers and soldiers die on the border every year?"
"Some of them have endured inhumane torture at the hands of drug traffickers, and some were blown to pieces with only their upper bodies left. Yet, they still managed to survive. What right do you have to give up on them so easily?"
After hearing what he said, the leading woman asked, "What you said is true. You are not lying to us. If we leave and our families don't want us anymore, we can really go to Beijing."
"These people can testify. There's no need for me to lie to you."
After hearing what he said, those who were determined to bang their heads against the wall finally stopped, hugged their legs like a defeated rooster, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
In fact, they are afraid of death and don't want to die, but they have no choice. If they go out, they know very well what will be waiting for them.
But now some people say they don't have to die, and they will get a job and be able to support themselves.
Even if I get out alive, I won't be forced by my family to marry that old man in his forties or fifties in exchange for a dowry.
How could they not believe it? Even if they didn't, what would happen? Would they really die? Even if he really was lying to them, they still had to go and see.
After hearing his words, they could finally relax. All the grievances they had felt over the past few days turned into tears and flowed out.
Seeing them stop their suicide attempts, Xie Fanghua walked over to him and said, "Thank you."
He knew that if he hadn't made this promise today, even if they were stopped this time, they would still seek opportunities to commit suicide.
But they were such young lives, it would be such a pity to die. They couldn't find a way to move them, but they couldn't just watch these people commit suicide, so it seemed like they were stuck in a stalemate.
So they were really grateful to Gu Jingmo for standing up to break the deadlock at this time. If it weren't for him, they didn't know how this matter would end today.
Although their families will despise them when they get out, if these people really die in front of them, they will definitely find ways to make trouble.
