Because the little money she earned from working after school was simply not enough to support her and her sister's tuition and living expenses.
After dropping out of school, she worked odd jobs in restaurants in small towns. After staying there for two years, she entrusted her eight-year-old sister to her uncle's house. She packed up a few sets of shabby clothes and boarded the train south with people from the same village.
The tuition fees for elementary school and junior high school were barely enough for her to work odd jobs in a small town, but if her sister wanted to go to a technical secondary school, high school, or even university, it would be far from enough.
For the sake of her younger sister's future, a seventeen-year-old girl who had never even been to their small town, holding a washed-out denim bag, with eyes that were vaguely afraid of the future, but with firm eyes, came to a strange southern coastal city that was full of opportunities and dangers.
At that time, it was only 1983, when the rush to work southward was booming, and the train station was packed with people, like a sea of people, crowded, and there were everyone.
Fortunately, because she had an acquaintance from the same village leading the way, she didn't get deceived as soon as she got off the train, and she didn't encounter gangsters in black, stampeders, speedsters, etc. She got on a small three-wheeler and entered a small processing factory with her fellow villagers very smoothly.
She hasn't read much, hasn't seen much of the world, doesn't know much, and isn't very courageous, but she knows one thing: as long as she works harder, her sister's life at her uncle's house will be easier, and she will have a greater chance of living a good life in a technical secondary school.
With this perseverance, she worked day and night in that small processing factory with a meager salary until the early 1990s.
Later, the small processing factory closed down and she had to find another way out.
At this time, she was twenty-four, and her sister was sixteen and a freshman in high school.
Big Sister Boss's mother next to her helped her introduce a partner and reminded her that she was not young and it was time to find a man to marry.
But my sister has just entered her first year of high school and will go to college next. How can she have the time and energy to think about this?
In order for her younger sister to successfully finish high school and then go to college, and to satisfy her younger sister's ever-increasing demands, she worked hard to move forward like a spinning top that never knew how tired it was.
She has been deceived and deceived, stayed in a small hotel shared by more than a dozen people, and also stayed in a hotel that was very damp when it rained and the ground was full of armyworms Underground Room.
A day passed when I only gnawed on a trowel and stretched my neck to drink water directly from the faucet.
In order to save two yuan on the bus fare, she got up before dawn for a year and walked more than ten miles to work. At night, she went home under the moonlight, holding an iron rod tightly in her hand.
After suffering enough and being deceived enough, people gradually become smarter, know how to avoid pitfalls, know how to protect themselves, and know how to use their brains to make money.
She imitated some people who went to sea and started to set up a street stall after getting goods from Wholesale Market.
I sell whatever is easy to sell and whatever is popular. I sell it in front of the vegetable market in the morning and on Night Market in the evening. During the day, I push a tricycle and sell it everywhere.
As the money gradually increased, she, like everyone who had been wandering for several years, wanted to have a home, a house of her own, even if it was small or broken.
The mud house at home collapsed after a heavy rain. My sister started boarding school when she was in junior high school, and she often complained that they didn't even have a decent house.
For these reasons, I started buying a house.
In 1993, a house of about 67 square meters with two bedrooms and one living room in an ordinary location was sold for about 40,000 yuan.
