Lin Daiyu's Battle in the Entertainment Industry
Chapter 39
Now that Mr. Xiao knew that his son liked a girl, he felt an indescribable feeling.
In the blink of an eye,
That despicable brat had grown up!
"You and that girl..." Mr. Xiao looked at him warningly. "If you don't plan to get married,
It's best not to be too high-profile! "
Xiao Zexi was speechless. He felt that he was a bully who only robbed good women!
"Don't worry.
I won't be like you.
I'll get on the bus first before I get on the bus.
If I don't plan to get married, I won't harm others. "Xiao Zexi promised very seriously.
Mr. Xiao was speechless.
Mrs. Xiao was speechless.
She wanted to beat him to death!
In Mr. Xiao's time,
It was actually very simple. Back then, Mr. Xiao was a basic public servant, and Mrs. Xiao was a rich little princess. Logically speaking, the two of them did not have much interaction. Who knew that an accident would cause the two of them to hit the home run.
And they hit the jackpot.
With Xiao Zexi.
The two of them were the epitome of marital love.
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao wanted to let Xiao Zexi visit the Lin family first.
When the time was right, they should also meet the parents. After all, Xiao Zexi was pursuing her with the goal of marriage.
Of course,
Daiyu did not meet Xiao Zexi.
Because she accepted a script.
She joined the crew.
This time, the filming location was in a ravine.
The kind of place where the signal was very poor.
This was a movie.
It was called "Xiao Fang."
It was not the beautiful and cute village girl in the song, Xiao Fang. It was a sad and desperate Xiao Fang.
Daiyu played the female lead, Xiao Fang.
The story was set before the reformation, reform, opening, and expansion. Of course, the specific year was unknown, and it was not important. For the people in the remote mountain valley, the changes in the outside world were not important. The days in the village were always like this, repeating the same cycle.
Xiao Fang was born in a family that valued boys over girls. Of course, in the ignorant village, everyone valued boys over girls. Xiao Fang was fine, she survived. For some families, after giving birth to a girl, they would drown her or throw her into the mountains. That would not be able to survive.
Generation after generation, when it came to Xiaofang's generation, there were already more than sixty families in the village. These families had more than a hundred sons, but only a dozen or so daughters.
Just like that, there were more men than women, but it didn't affect the noble status of men at all.
Xiao Fang's family had two older brothers. As the youngest, Xiao Fang was not the little princess in the hearts of her family. Instead, she was a lowly slave. Since she was young, she was beaten and scolded in all sorts of ways. She did not have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear. She also had an endless amount of work to do.
However, Xiaofang, like many people in the village, did not feel that there was anything wrong with this. After all, everyone had been like this. Girls were born lowly.
After generations of brainwashing, Xiaofang's mother, grandmother, great-grandmother … none of them had a high status, and none of them had ever thought of rebelling.
It wasn't until the ratio of men to women in the village was seriously imbalanced, and many men couldn't find a wife and could only be single that the villagers began to worry.
Then, there was the first daughter-in-law from outside the village.
The foreign daughter-in-law was a university student. She was as beautiful as a fairy. Xiaofang had never seen such a beautiful person. Although she didn't know what a university student was, she knew that they were very powerful.
This was because the girls in the village were not allowed to read and write.
The university student was the wife that Buttface had bought.
Yes, the wife that he had bought.
When she first arrived, she didn't eat or drink. She washed her face with tears every day and cried endlessly. She cried and begged Buttface to let her go, but what greeted her was a violent beating.
Later, the university student stopped crying and making a fuss. However, her eyes were stubborn. They were like a ray of light that would never be extinguished.
The university student escaped. She escaped in the middle of the night when she was sleeping. The villagers gathered to catch her. She was quickly caught and then beaten again.
However, this could not extinguish the light in her eyes. After escaping and being caught again and again, her eyes finally dimmed and became numb in despair.
However, Xiaofang knew that the light was always there.
Xiaofang wanted to get close to that beautiful person, and she did. She and Buttface's wife, as people now called the university student, had a very good relationship, even though Xiaofang was only ten years old and the university student was in her twenties.
The university student said, "There is light in your eyes. I know that you are not willing to be trapped here for the rest of your life."
Xiaofang didn't understand. Big sister, you are the one who has light in your eyes!
Buttface's wife taught her how to read and write in the city and how to deal with people. She also told her how colorful the outside world was. Of course, this was all in private. Xiaofang yearned to hear it, but she knew that she couldn't leave.
There were more and more daughters-in-law from other parts of the village. They were of different ages, good-looking and ugly. When they first arrived, they would make a fuss and run away. However, none of them succeeded. Later, when they had children, many of them became honest and started to do housework and farm work. They devoted themselves to their families and became people like Xiaofang's mother.
Xiaofang could clearly see that the light in their eyes had been extinguished.
When Xiaofang was seventeen years old, she was betrothed to Chen Guang, who was from the same village. That was the first time Xiaofang said no. She said to her family that she didn't want to marry and wanted to leave.
She wanted to see the colorful world and the vast world outside.
Without a doubt, she was beaten by her father and brother until she couldn't get out of bed for half a month. After that, Chen Guang took her home and she became the Chen family's daughter-in-law.
Chen Guang was good-looking in the village. However, like all the men in the village, he had a natural sense of superiority. Even though Xiaofang was hardworking and willing to work, he still beat and scolded her frequently.
Xiaofang gradually became numb. She felt that what Buttface's wife said was right. The light in her eyes had also been extinguished. Like all the women in the village, she gave birth to a son, and when her son grew up, he would buy a wife.
A lifetime was actually not long.
Buttface's wife was dead!
Xiaofang ran to Buttface's house and saw his wife lying in a pool of blood. Her pants were stained with blood, which had a kind of eerie beauty.
This was the first time Xiaofang had seen a dead person.
She asked someone to find a doctor. According to what Buttface's wife had told her before, doctors could heal the wounded and save lives.
Of course, no one cared about her. They even locked her in the house and educated her. Xiaofang finally understood what Buttface's wife meant when she said, "Barren hills and turbulent rivers produce unruly people."
She couldn't be reasoned with at all.
Then Xiaofang understood. This was her hometown, but the people here were all demons. She regretted that she didn't listen to Buttface's wife and call the police to save her.
However, regret couldn't save Buttface's wife's life.
Xiaofang calmed down quickly and pretended to be enlightened. However, she secretly contacted some of the wives who had been bought. If they were willing, they could take them away and escape.
However, it wasn't easy to escape. Many people had children and families here. Even if their husbands didn't treat them well, they still didn't want to leave. Only a few new wives followed her. However, they were tipped off, and they were caught and brought back.
Xiaofang was put on a rack and was almost burned to death.
She would never feel the heat of the flames. Through the flames, she saw her parents, brothers, and husband's family standing in the crowd. They looked at her with numb and strange eyes, and there was a faint hatred in their eyes.
Xiaofang finally understood that even though they had raised her, they still didn't treat her as a human.
How ridiculous!
Xiaofang wasn't burned to death because she was pregnant. She had been married to the Chen Family for a few years, but she had learned from Buttface's wife and didn't get herself pregnant. However, she was pregnant now. This child saved her.
The Chen Family was a powerful family in the village. Their daughter-in-law couldn't die when she was pregnant. After Xiaofang was saved, she hid her sharp edges and became obedient. She gave birth to a boy safely.
Her face had also become numb, but her heart had always been alive.
Since the previous generation couldn't be changed, why not change the next generation who carried hope?
Xiaofang secretly taught some children how to read and write. She also taught them the principles of good and evil, loyalty, and treachery. She also taught them the differences between animals and humans.
In this way, when Xiaofang was 38 years old, the first college student in the village passed the entrance examination. He was a steady boy. The villagers were so happy that they thought the school in the village was also excellent. Therefore, someone was admitted to the university.
However, they didn't know that Xiaofang tutored these children every day, regardless of their gender.
The boy who had passed the entrance examination soon came back with the police.
This time, no one stopped Xiaofang from going out. However, she didn't go out. Instead, she applied for a subsidy from the government and set up a school. It was stipulated that boys and girls must go to school. The government not only gave the subsidy to build the school, but also transferred several tall teachers and a team of police.
They arrested a few large-scale criminal organizations for human trafficking. In this village, no one dared to buy or sell women.
At the end of the story, Xiaofang stood at the top of the mountain with her white hair and a walking stick in her hand. She listened to the sound of reading in the school at the bottom of the mountain. She looked at the neat rows of buildings and the wide and clean cement roads that led in all directions.
Xiaofang smiled and her eyes were still shining.
Daiyu arrived at the set. When the director saw her, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly ran over to greet her.
"Hello, Miss Lin. I am the director of this movie, Yu Qian."
Yu Qian was a tall woman in her thirties. She had short hair and looked fresh and capable.
"Hello, Director Yu." Daiyu also hurriedly greeted her. She could clearly feel Yu Qian's kindness towards her.
They were still in the hotel. According to Yu Qian, she had been preparing for this movie for a long time. She wanted to compete for awards. The actors were all ready, but she couldn't find a suitable female lead. She had been waiting.
Until she saw Lin Daiyu on TV. Her eyes lit up. It was the light of hope.
Daiyu was speechless. Everyone's eyes lit up!
Yu Qian shook her head and said enigmatically, "That's different."
After they were ready, they set off to the set. The director asked them to say goodbye to their friends and family. After all, there was no signal and the filming conditions were very difficult.
Daiyu had already said goodbye to her grandma. She said that she might not be able to contact her after she left. After thinking about it, she called Xiao Zexi.
Xiao Zexi was very happy to receive Daiyu's call. He asked her, "Why did you call me?" Did she miss me?
Daiyu seemed to know what he was thinking. She scolded him softly and said, "I'm going to a very remote place to shoot a movie. Don't look for me if there's nothing important."
"Where are you going?
Is it safe? "
Xiao Zexi knew that some places were not very safe. When he heard that Daiyu was going to a remote mountain area, he couldn't sit still.
Daiyu said, "There are a lot of people on the set. It's very safe. Don't worry." After telling him the name of the place, Daiyu hung up.
Seeing the smile on her face, Wang Jin teased her, "Is it that person?
Hmm? "
Daiyu: "…" Why did she have to look so embarrassed even though there was clearly nothing going on?
