After sending Nan Qiu and Liang Hengsheng back to the provincial capital, Tao Xiaoxi remembered something: Ni Linli was still waiting for her in the bridge hole!
But looking at Li Nanqiu's expression, she couldn't bring herself to speak and decided to go by herself.
She went with her elder brother Tao Yingsheng, but the bridge tunnel was empty. There was no one there except a few tattered sacks spread on the ground.
Tao Xiaoxi's heart was gripped again. She thought of Mo Yatou. This time she couldn't just sit back and watch.
"It's been so long and the weather is so cold, they must have gone somewhere else. Let's go back first?" said the eldest brother.
Tao Xiaoxi asked her elder brother to go back first, "I'll walk by myself."
The eldest brother was a little worried. After all, it was so cold and the sky was so gloomy that it could snow at any time.
But Tao Xiaoxi insisted on walking on her own, so her elder brother gave her a few instructions and went back first.
Tao Xiaoxi walked along the street, asking people if they had seen a group of homeless women wearing sackcloth bags and carrying dolls. Unfortunately, no one had seen them.
Tao Xiaoxi was upset. She had given her hope, then disappointed her. It wasn't a big deal for a person to experience disappointment once or twice, but if it was constant, it would turn into despair, and despair wouldn't be far away. She didn't want Ni Linli to become another Mo Yatou.
This time, she directly found the TV station that interviewed her and called the district leaders at the same time. Her only purpose was to help her find Ni Linli and her group of sisters in trouble.
When missing person ads start appearing on TV and when missing person notices appear in bus stop newspaper racks, it's impossible not to find that person unless they hide in the sky.
That day, Ni Linli was carrying her baby on her back, cleaning out a manure pit for someone else. This kind of work was usually done by men, and she begged the owner for a long time before he agreed to let her try. The owner walked up to her holding a newspaper, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Is this for you?"
Ni Linli was illiterate, but she recognized herself in the newspaper. She nodded, not knowing what was waiting for her.
"Oh, it's really you, come with me!" The landlady slapped her thigh, very excited, because the newspaper said that there would be a reward for finding the person.
And that's how it was found.
Tao Xiaoxi was overjoyed, while Ni Linli was embarrassed. She was obviously not used to the media reporter friends taking pictures like this, but Tao Xiaoxi pulled her, pulled her and asked her with a smile to hold on a little longer. She gave them the beginning and they helped her find it, so naturally she had to cooperate and give them a perfect ending. This was the condition she had agreed to in advance.
However, Tao Xiaoxi took the opportunity to say something she had always wanted to spread: Men and women are born equal, this does not need to be proven, and if there are any women who are abused in the future, they can come to her.
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Bin who was present and Li Nanshan who was not present trembled. "When did you have this idea?" Zhao Bin asked.
"Just now." Tao Xiaoxi smiled and waved to the audience present and absent as he left.
This woman must be going crazy, Zhao Bin said ventriloquically.
After the publicity, Tao Xiaoxi's factory became half a shelter. Those women who had previously planned to live a miserable life and never come back in the next life, woke up instantly when they saw Tao Xiaoxi on TV. For a time, the divorce rate in the province soared.
Unexpectedly, Tao Xiaoxi came to the door directly.
Despite the high walls and large courtyard, no one stopped her, and she walked into the leader's office with great fanfare.
The leader felt a little pain in his head when he saw her walking in with a happy face.
"Tao Xiaoxi, what are your ideas this time?"
Tao Xiaoxi took the initiative and filled the leader's cup with water. She said with a smile, "I have an unwelcome request—"
"Since it's an unreasonable request, don't say it." The leader is not easy to fool.
"Since I'm here, I might as well tell you. I want you to build a women and children's rescue station." Tao Xiaoxi said it all in one breath without pausing, for fear that her leader would get angry and carry her out.
"It's a good thing that you want to build a rescue station." The leader praised.
"It's you who built a rescue station." Tao Xiaoxi corrected.
The leader laughed and said, "There are a lot of things to do, but there is no money. We have to do them one by one."
Tao Xiaoxi understood that this was standard procedure. Whether they had money or not, they would just cry poor for a while before making any move. She didn't beat around the bush and directly revealed her cards, "I can donate the full amount, but there are requirements."
"Tell me about it." The leader became interested.
"First, severely punish those who abuse women and children. Don't resort to empty talk or verbal punishment; they must be punished in a way that leaves them with a lasting impression. Second, shelters need dedicated staff to help them find jobs that support them."
"Didn't you offer the job?"
"I can provide some of the work, but not all of it. You'll have to find a way to do the rest. It can't be like cleaning out manure pits or unclogging chimneys. It has to be something that's long-term and reliable."
"Doesn't that mean everyone wants to come to the shelter?" the leader questioned.
"So we need someone to be in charge of the review, otherwise we won't be able to get all the lazy people to come."
The leader did not refute.
"third--"
"And a third one?"
Tao Xiaoxi smiled and said, "This is the last one."
"explain."
"Third, vigorously promote gender equality and improve the social status of women."
"This is difficult." The leader sighed meaningfully.
"I know it's difficult, but someone has to start. Even if we don't see it, there will always be someone who can wait until that day comes. Then you will have made a huge contribution to the progress of mankind, and your achievements will be remembered for generations to come."
"You've painted a rosy picture for me." The leader laughed and stopped being so cautious.
