Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

"I watched the show you directed and came to my senses. Screw his parents' home. It's better not to have it at all." Deng Fangxia said with a sneer.

"Sister Deng is awesome, that's how it should be!" Gao You gave her a thumbs up.

Gao You was really happy for her.

"Are you buying old magazines and newspapers today?" Deng Fangxia took Gao You into the recycling station, and the hatchet was placed next to the small square table she used to keep accounts.

"But there haven't been any new newspapers and magazines recently," Deng Fangxia said with a bit of regret.

"Recently, there are more and more private waste recycling businesses outside, and they collect waste door-to-door. Many old customers no longer come to the recycling station."

There was a hint of worry in Deng Fangxia's words.

In fact, the salary at the recycling station is not high, otherwise this job would not have fallen on her so easily.

She had been to the market and found that those self-employed people rode bicycles or tricycles, running around the streets and alleys of towns and villages, picking up waste and recycling it door-to-door. If they were lucky, the money they earned in a day could be equivalent to her monthly salary.

If you're a little unlucky, you can still make a few dollars or even tens of dollars a day, which is much more than what you earn at a fixed recycling station.

She was also somewhat tempted and wanted to do it herself.

However, with this face of hers, once she goes out, she will inevitably be pointed at and talked about by others.

She didn't want to show her face in public.

"Any old books will do." Gao You is not picky.

"Then let me look through them for you. Some of them are old books that are piled down there and haven't been moved away." Deng Fangxia put on her sleeves and went to look for the old books.

"Sister, what do you want to do here all the time?" Gao You squatted beside her, flipping through the tattered old books.

"If not here, where else can I work? I am uneducated and have no skills. I am satisfied as long as I can have this job." The recycling station has become her "dream home".

"And because of this face of mine, the little girl next door always stays away from me every time she sees me. I'm working as a self-employed person, and I guess people won't dare to come over when they see this face of mine." Deng Fangxia smiled bitterly. She thought she had long been accustomed to the strange looks that this face brought her.

However, the reality is cruel.

When many people see the scar on her face, they unconsciously keep their distance from her, as if she were some terrible monster.

Gao You looked at Deng Fangxia. She understood that the scars hidden deep in Deng Fangxia's heart were like wounds cut by a sharp blade. Although time had passed, the pain was still clear.

These scars cannot be healed by time and may even stay with you for a lifetime.

This was something Gao You was powerless to do.

"Sister, if there is a place where you can hide in the mountains and don't have to face people every day, you can contract a mountain forest, plant fruit trees, raise chickens, dig a pond, and raise fish. What do you think? Of course, it will be very hard. It is not easier than working in a recycling station, and it is not as convenient in the countryside as in a county town." Gao You said after hesitating again and again.

"How can this be considered hard work? Isn't this a life like a god's?" Deng Fangxia thought she was joking and didn't take it seriously.

"I did as much as this in the Deng family. If I marry into the Sun family, won't I also be the one doing all the work inside and outside the house?"

Deng Fangxia thought back over her entire life. She had done a lot of work, but none of it was for herself. She had never had a happy day in her life. Her life was truly miserable.

Now, she has finally gotten rid of that beast Sun Tao, and she has hope for the rest of her life.

She needs to eat well, sleep well, practice boxing well, and work well.

As long as the recycling station doesn't go bankrupt.

Gao You knew, however, that such a small unit would eventually disappear in the tide of history, and Deng Fangxia would still have to find a new way out at that time.

Finally, Gao You bought several old books on recipes and skills.

They are all a bit worn out, with most of the front and back covers missing, and the inside is either eaten by insects or has a few pages torn, but the content is still intact.

Gao You took the book and went to the county government gatekeeper to ask for the address of Director Lu's home.

Today is Sunday and Director Lu is not at work.

The security guard recognized this girl. She is now a famous figure in the county and her touring show is very popular.

His wife not only bought a red woolen coat for herself, but also bought a pink cotton coat and sportswear for her daughter.

She has become more assertive at home. In the past, when she quarreled with him, she would threaten him by saying that she would go back to her parents' home. But now she doesn't even mention it and just says directly that at worst they can get a divorce and she can live with her daughter on her own.

The little girl is now the "public enemy" of the majority of gay men and the "idol" pursued by lesbians.

The security guard readily told me the address.

Gao You thanked the old man and prepared to go to a nearby store to buy some food before returning.

Gao You entered a crowded grocery store and saw quite a few people buying New Year's goods inside.

She noticed that the reunion gift packages and blessing gift packages she proposed to the county food factory were the best-selling products and were almost a must-have for everyone.

Gao You finally managed to grab a reunion gift package, and he was almost sweating when he left the house.

Then she turned and went to Chunhua Street that the old man mentioned.

She knocked on the door number 36 that the old man mentioned.

This is a small courtyard with its own entrance and exit. It is simple and elegant, and it is obvious that it is quite old.

"Who is it?" A young female voice asked.

"My name is Gao You, and I'm looking for Director Lu." Gao You introduced himself.

"Mom, I'm looking for you." The girl turned around and shouted into the house.

"Here it comes." Director Lu's voice came.

The door opened quickly.

Director Lu was very surprised and shocked when he saw Gao You.

"Director Xiao Gao is back? Come in quickly!" Director Lu hurriedly let Gao You in.

"Why buy this? This year our family received this big gift package." Director Lu said with a smile.

"This is convenient." Gao You smiled and handed the gift package to Director Lu.

Director Lu did not refuse her call. He readily accepted the call and led the person into the house.

"What would you like to drink?" asked Director Lu.

"Just boiled water." Gao You sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Xiao Yu, go get a glass of water." Director Lu asked his daughter Chang Xiaoyu who was watching TV nearby.

"Oh." Chang Xiaoyu reluctantly took his eyes off the TV, got up and went into the kitchen to pour water.

In the first few days after she came back from vacation, her mother was very kind to her. Sometimes she said she had lost weight, sometimes she was worried that she was cold, and now she started to think she was an eyesore.

"Thank you." Gao You took the boiled water handed over by Chang Xiaoyu.

"Director Lu, I won't waste any more time. I just want to share some of my thoughts. I hope you don't think I'm overstepping your authority." Gao You took a sip of boiled water and went straight to the point.

“How could that be? The impact created by the two shows you staged is equivalent to several years of our work. We were too passive in the past, and only did our work after things happened. We couldn’t help them much at all.” Director Lu received feedback from the two touring teams every day, and he was very moved.

"On their behalf, I would like to thank you very much." Director Lu said sincerely.

"But I don't think it's enough." Gao You took out the old book he had bought before.

"These are some recipes and skill books. Crafts, skills, job opportunities, these are what the sisters need." Gao You placed the books on the coffee table.
