"My cousin told me they just wash people's hair and give them massages. She said there are a lot of rich people in the city, and now that the government has loosened up on private shops, more and more people are looking for hair washes and massages. If the customer is comfortable with the wash, they'll even give extra tips..."
Fan Hua looked at Mrs. Geng's expectant eyes and continued to ask, "Then...if I asked you to wash and massage a man's hair, would you do it?"
“…” Geng Ailing was stunned.
"This... people who like to come here to get their hair washed must be women, right? Do men with such short hair really need to go to a salon to get it washed? Isn't it just as easy as washing your face?"
Geng Ailing said uncertainly that she had never really thought about this question. She naturally thought that all the people who came to the store for hair washing and massage should be women.
What else does Fan Hua not understand? It seems that Geng Ailing is the one who is ignorant of the inside story.
I don’t know how Geng Ailing, who was simple-minded and cared about her chastity and reputation, would react when she found out that she was deceived into doing that thing, and how her life became like afterwards?
The author does not give any subsequent description of Geng Ailing's life in the book.
For the first time, Fan Hua clearly understood: a novel is just a simple description of the stories of one or two protagonists, and the readers have no idea what the supporting characters who are just passing through the novel will experience and what their endings will be. But those supporting characters also have their own unique stories!
Fan Hua suddenly felt relieved. She was indeed a cannon fodder supporting role in "The Ascetic Old Cadre Doesn't Pretend Anymore", but she was Fan Hua, not Fan Lihua. She was the protagonist of her own family story!
The train slowly pulled out of the station...
Fan Hua took Geng Ailing's hand and decided to ask for clarification. She lowered her voice and asked seriously, "Sister Geng, if someone asked you to sell your body for a living, what would you do?"
"Lihua, what are you talking about?!" Geng Ailing suddenly raised her voice, her tone full of questioning.
The people around looked over here again, including the fiery gaze from before.
Fan Hua quickly covered Geng Ailing's mouth with her hand, signaling her to speak in a lower voice. After all, it would not be good for outsiders to hear this question.
Geng Ailing also realized that she had lost her composure just now. After calming down, she whispered back, "How could I do such a thing?! A person lives by his face, a tree lives by its bark! My man is gone, but I, Geng Ailing, will always be Li Dazhu's wife. I will never do anything that would let him down!"
Fan Hua is now completely certain that Geng Ailing has also been deceived.
Since Geng Ailing wasn't a bad person, and the two of them were going south together again, he might as well take her along from now on. After all, he had indeed misunderstood her and cheated her out of ten yuan and three bowls of noodles. Oh, and a train ticket...
It seems that she has been cheated out of quite a few things, although they are not worth much money, but for her who has just come here with only a few square feet on her body, this is a great favor!
Fan Hua kindly took out the two remaining peaches from her bag and casually handed one to Geng Ailing. While chewing on it, she said, "Sister Geng, you should just follow me from now on! Don't do that hair washing and massage job anymore. It's not a good job. You'll have to deal with strange men, and they might even bully you. You'll definitely have a good future following me. I promise you'll earn more than 50 yuan a month!"
Geng Ailing obviously didn't believe that a country girl like Fan Hua could make money in any way, but when she heard Fan Hua say that people might bully her for doing shampooing and massage jobs, she still became worried.
She asked tentatively, "What ways can you make money?"
Fan Hua thought about it. She really didn't have a concrete plan yet. She had originally planned to observe the situation in the south before making a decision. But since Sister Geng had asked, she would be hard to convince without explaining the reason.
So Fan Hua started to think seriously...
She has been a good student since she was young and her family is well-off. She is also multi-talented and can dance, play the piano, and paint, and she especially likes painting.
In middle school, others studied art in order to get into college, but she did it purely out of love.
Finally, I was admitted to the top art academy in the country with excellent scores in both literature and fine arts. I not only majored in graphic design, but also minored in fashion design and English, and obtained a degree.
Later, I was directly admitted to graduate school. During my graduate studies, I opened a design company outside the school with two other students. It was really popular...
