Chapter 5 5. Misty rain and wind and dust

Otome took a long-distance bus to the railway station in the provincial capital, remembering what her brother told her to run away, so she randomly bought a train ticket to go east to S city. Hunger and thirst along the way, endless ups and downs and hard work.After arriving at the destination and getting off at the station, looking at the bustling city with many tall buildings, I felt my eyes were dazed and I didn't know where to go. I couldn't help but feel sad, so I sat on the side of the road and wiped my tears.After wiping away the tears, I wanted to go on the road, but when I looked up, I was so frightened that the baggage and belongings around me disappeared, and I don’t know when they were stolen by others.Thinking of how miserable her life was, Tian yorv burst into tears.

At this time, an old man with a kind face and kind eyes came beside her and asked her why she was so sad?Otome sobbed and told her story.The old man was very sympathetic, gave her a little change, and told her to walk a few blocks from the station to find a newly opened small talent market, where migrant girls were introduced to work as babysitters.Otome thought about it, and this is the only way to survive. Otome endured her hunger and thirst, so she ran there to have a try.God pity her, someone hired her right away.The next day, I was taken to that family. The owner was a manager who was doing logistics work in a college. He was extremely kind and honest. He didn't regard Tian Otome as a babysitter, but as a student who came to work. or relatives to take care of.When I have free time, I also teach her to read some books, and encourage her to go back to school one day to study and master a professional technology.But the mistress of this family is a narrow-minded, suspicious and jealous woman.

Tian Otome's job is to wash, cook, and clean the room. When she is free, she picks up and picks up the host's son who is in elementary school, and her life is relatively stable.Until she was eighteen years old, the otome grew more and more beautiful, just like a flower. When the buds open and the petals stretch, they have a lovely posture and color, which makes people fascinated.And the mistress became more and more suspicious, and finally excused that a few valuable things were missing at home, and she just made a big noise, forcing her husband to fire Otome. When Otome was desperate and panicked, she saw an advertisement posted on the road. There was a "Healthy City" recruiting a foot massage service lady. The education level was above junior high school, but she had to have good facial features and a well-proportioned figure. It was said that once hired, the salary would be relatively high. , with a monthly salary of more than 1,000 yuan, food and housing, and considerable tips.Before taking up the job, there must be a half-year training period, mainly learning Chinese massage techniques.Otome was very moved, remembering what her master told her when she was a nanny, she immediately came to the "Healthy City" to apply for the job.

Seeing that Otome is naturally beautiful, the boss's eyes lit up immediately, and he said cheerfully, "Work hard here, and I will never treat you badly." Otome and other recruited girls mainly learn the skills of traditional Chinese medicine foot soaking, foot washing and foot massage. It is said that there is a half-year training period, but in fact they started working in less than two months.Evening is the busiest time for business, and the lights in the various working rooms are dim. Some male customers come here looking for pornographic activities, but it is common for the waitresses to touch and hold hands and feet.After working for less than two weeks, Otome decided to quit.But the boss said to her indifferently: "It's like this to make a living outside. It's all up to you to control yourself, there is nothing you can't get through..."

So under the teaching of other ladies, Otome quickly learned the method of self-protection, and never got the slightest advantage from male customers with malicious intentions.After working like this for more than a year, Otome accumulated some money and kept asking her hometown for news about her brother.A friend in her hometown told her that Nan A was about to be released after his labor camp term expired, and they also had news to inquire about his younger sister.Otome was very happy. Another two months passed, and it was approaching the fifteenth day of the eighth month in the old calendar. People from my hometown called Otome and said that her brother had agreed with her to meet her at the highest TV tower in S city on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, so that she could prepare in advance.Otome's heart was tumbling, not to mention how excited she was.On this day, I asked the boss for leave in advance, and the boss said that today she is only allowed to do business with one customer. This customer is the boss's best buddy, so she can't be careless.

As soon as the boss's buddy entered the city, he couldn't help becoming a little obsessed when he saw the otome. He secretly said something to the boss, and the boss called the otome into the small room to serve him.As soon as the buddy entered the house, he entangled with Otome, but she refused to avoid them.Although the boss and the buddy were a little unhappy, they still kept their expressions on their faces. After a while, the waiter brought two more drinks.The boss invites Otome to drink with the guests. In the "Healthy City", it is common for guests to invite the lady to drink. Otome slowly drank the drink dry not wanting to offend the boss and lose her job.Unexpectedly, after a while, she became hot all over, her head was dizzy, and she fell limp on the ground involuntarily.The boss and his buddies colluded to rape Otome.

When she woke up, it was past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and Otome was crying and going to the police station to report the case.The boss sneered and said, "What's the point of such a thing? If you report the crime, we will definitely have no one here to testify for you. There are our friends in the judiciary. If you go ahead, you will be thrown out... Besides, you You're not a virgin anymore, why take it seriously?" After speaking, he handed over a wad of money and put it in front of her. Otome is a staunch girl, all the humiliation and resentment welled up in her heart, she threw the money in the face of the boss and said loudly: "If I can't sue you, I will be in vain in this world!"

She still wanted to meet her brother in her heart, and ran to the agreed place. It was past three o'clock in the night, and there was no sign of her brother, so she sat there alone and cried until dawn. Back home, her heart was bleeding.Thinking of the ancient opera that her father Tian Danong took her to watch when she was young, an unexpected and amazing move came to her mind.She cut a piece of white cloth, bit her finger, soaked blood on it, wrote a big "report", and came straight to the police station. Coincidentally, there happened to be an important person from the city visiting the police station that day, and they were shocked to hear this report.He was furious, slapped the table and said: "This is not bad, it is simply lawless! No matter what kind of background this case has, it must be thoroughly investigated to the end!"

In this way, the boss of "Healthy City" and his buddies were arrested and finally brought to justice.The case became a sensational news at the time. Tian Otome sued her boss, and "Healthy City" closed down.She had no job for a long time, and then she was introduced to work in a dance hall.Otome learned the lesson from the "Healthy City", instead of being a service lady, she only worked as a cleaning lady cleaning the toilet corridor.Every day, she deliberately gets unkempt and poorly dressed. As soon as a guest passes by, she immediately hides in the dark room. She just wants to work and live quietly, and then wait for her brother to meet on the 15th of every month. .

However, her affairs still attracted the attention of others. Someone came to her to talk about matchmaking, saying that there was a director-level cadre in a certain bureau who wanted to remarry after divorce, and asked her if she would like to meet?Although that man is twenty years older than her, he is well-educated, looks young, and has a prosperous career. If he marries him, he will have someone to rely on for the rest of his life.At first Otome's answer was unwilling.But she is an honest girl, thinking that she will eventually get married when she gets older, and also thinks that her brother was sent to labor camp because of her. Don't know how to make a living?If I can marry a big man, my brother may be able to follow suit in the future, find a suitable job, and maybe marry a good wife.So he couldn't resist other people's persuasion, and finally agreed to see the marriage for his brother.

In fact, the other party had secretly noticed Tian Otome long ago.Once, he came to the dance hall with his friends by chance, and found that she was hiding and wearing poor clothes, but she was slim and graceful, and her beauty could not be concealed between her brows, which aroused his great curiosity.He didn't like to come to romantic places like song and dance halls, but this "Cinderella" aroused his interest, so he set foot here again and again.Later, he sent someone to inquire about Otome's life experience, and then asked someone to inquire. On the day we met, the weather was particularly sunny and warm, and the setting sun dyed the city golden like fine wine.A single private room in a hotel has been booked in advance, and the sun setting in the west shines in through the west window, screened into pink and light yellow lines by the hollowed-out gauze curtains, falling on the table like mysterious words. According to the rules of her hometown, Otome thought it was a solemn day, so she dressed neatly and put on light makeup as an exception before being led by the introducer.The other party has been waiting there for a long time, and is dreaming.When he first met Otome, he thought she was a good girl.Although she was dressed poorly, how would she dress up when we met today? Just as he was thinking, the footsteps of two or three people sounded in the corridor, and the hotel attendant and introducer led Otome into the room.Otome stood behind the introducer, a little shy and timid.I originally imagined Otome as a dirty but cute round face, but now somehow it has become a slender oval face, with a slender and straight nose, two curved and slender eyebrows and thick eyelashes, pure and pure. As if artificially painted, and the body is slimmer and lighter than before.This "Cinderella" is really a stunning woman. Sitting there, he was so dazed that he even forgot to take out his business card. He wanted to be many times better than those gorgeous, gorgeous and enchanting ladies in the song and dance hall.He felt very satisfied, and felt that this life was enough to have such a beautiful and charming woman by his side. Otome took his business card and looked at it, only to realize that his name is Wei Hua, and he is also a figure in officialdom.In her original impression, the other party was a fat-headed, domineering person who needed to be served carefully.She thought that the purpose of meeting and dating this time was to help her brother get out of trouble, and as long as the other party was okay, she wouldn't care too much about it.When I saw this man, with a fair complexion, regular facial features and thin, elegant manners and speech, unconventional, quite cultured and well-educated, I felt that I could entrust him to him for the rest of my life, as if I had regained my life, and I felt very relieved in an instant. When the introducer withdrew and the two of them were left in the room, Otome blushed with embarrassment.She stood up, with a smile in her mouth, and poured a cup of tea for the other party politely. A faint sweetness that had never been felt in Wei Hua's heart, and unconsciously felt that two happy shadows appeared like a dream . After eating a meal and meeting several times, things settled down quickly.Wei Hua said that he was stimulated and traumatized by his last marriage, so he didn't want to get married right away, but he hoped that he and Otome could live together for a period of time.As for the living expenses of the residence and Otome, all expenses are borne by him alone, and Otome will not be allowed to work in places like dance halls again. I hope she can live a peaceful and secluded life in the future. It is a pity that Otome, who has suffered psychological trauma in life, interprets his well-intentioned approach as a prudent approach after a man's marriage is frustrated, which can also prevent him from being too restrained and losing his freedom , this may be his great kindness to her.However, she made a condition that she wanted to bring her brother to the city, and try to find a suitable job for her brother through Wei Hua's relationship.
