Chapter 180 (1/2)

”What are you doing now and how long have you been doing it?” Fang Tianxing asked again.

”I work in the brick factory at the entrance of the village. Every day I wear old clothes with holes in them. My face is sweating. I bow and pull bricks from the kiln with a small car. It's sultry in the brick kiln. This year's brick market is not as good as that of the previous two years. Bricks can't be sold. The boss of the factory doesn't make any money, and it's hard to earn any wages. He deals with the soil all day long, and his hands crack with blood after a long time. When he washes his face and hands, his hands ache with saline water. ”

The life of the masses at the bottom is always hard. What is unbearable is one's background, which determines the earliest reference of life. Those who live at the bottom can refer to the people around them and how they live. They will naturally think that they may also live like this.

People born in the countryside naturally feel that if they can learn to be a bricklayer, they can learn to be a carpenter. Because most people are like this, people who are born in a small town naturally feel that it's OK to have a stable job, because most of the people around them are like this.

People live in the relationship circle where you have me and I have you. Most people will exert influence on the people around them, interfere intentionally or unconsciously, and drag the people who want to go up.

When you want to change, there are always people around you who say to you, ”what are you doing when you can be stable?”

When you want to work harder than no one else, say to you, ”Why are you different from others?”

Those who are not strong are often dragged down and trapped in the mire. You can only see in front of you, not in the distance. Every day I spend my time and energy on solving the trifles of life, and gradually I lose even a little bit of the right to choose.

Because it's too difficult, many people give up early, give up early, and try to become different. After giving up, most people go with the flow and find something to support themselves.

However, some people even give up, but also toss, to know that it still takes great courage to do so. In fact, the most important thing that determines your life is not how hard you work, or even how capable you are, but how irreplaceable your position is.

And the bottom of the people, often the most lacking is the ability to make early investment. Without early investment, we can only do some work with high substitutability. And the result is a dead cycle, no accumulation, no capital investment. Or even though there is a small amount of capital, they dare not take risks at all.

Lao Wang's son said: ”how can such a life be changed? It's like bricks in a brick factory, like products on an assembly line. Every one of them is almost the same. There's no way to change all this.”

”The inability to change is just an excuse. If you shrink back forever, you can't move forward. In ancient times, hardworking farmers knew this truth. After their hard work, they saved everything except to support themselves.

After years of careful calculation, when more money is saved, it is used to buy land and hire long-term workers to work for itself. In this way, they became landlords and got rid of the status of long-term workers.

Most of the time, the poor are poor only because of asymmetric resources. The poor have so few resources, such as status, contacts and influence, that compared with the rich, they have to spend much more time and energy to leverage these resources to achieve their goals.

As long as a little progress is progress, always want to ascend to the sky, it is pure contempt for the efforts of predecessors Fang Tianxing said with disdain.

Lao Wang's son said discontentedly, ”it's easy for you to say, even if it's that simple. As long as you take a wrong step, it's a deep abyss, even if it's hard to live.”

The little girl cried and said, ”I want to go home. Is it fair that I am brought to this place by you? If you are wronged, you will let others down. That's why you hurt others. ”

Lao Wang's son also felt very dissatisfied. He said bitterly, ”what should I do? If I let you go, I'm afraid I'll never get a daughter-in-law on my terms.”

Generally, it is difficult to find a girl who is abducted and sold. Even if she is found, her life will be over. Some women will choose to go back to the mountains because they can't stand the pressure of relatives and public opinion.

All kinds of wind and rain hurt people like swords,

”If a woman invades, who will marry you again?”
