Chapter 402
The old cousin continued: "In this regard, everyone is very united, because if you don't help others protect your wife today, tomorrow you will have nothing if your own daughter-in-law runs away. In the village, buying a daughter-in-law is less than a few thousand Tens of thousands are basically all the savings of a family, and they can only afford one in a lifetime."
Seeing that Zhang Wei was silent, the old cousin didn't stop, and continued, "Let me tell you another true story."
One year, a family in the back village bought a daughter-in-law, who was more able to make troubles. First she went on a hunger strike, and then ran away in the middle of the night when her family was not paying attention.Several villages tried to find him, but they couldn't find it. I don't know if they hid on the mountain and waited for dawn to escape, or fell to the bottom of the mountain in the middle of the night and fell to their deaths. Anyway, they couldn't find it.
The old mother of that family cried for several days, because all the money in the family was used to buy the daughter-in-law, and finally she couldn't think of hanging herself.
After the news spread, everyone was nervous for a while. Not long after, Mrs. Zhang brought the girl over again. Seeing that the family was really pitiful, and they really had no money.Just tell his family, the last girl was also sold to you by me, and this girl will be treated as my kindness to you.But as long as the children born are girls, I want them, and I don't want more, just two.
The family was very happy, thank you very much for sending off Aunt Zhang.
The girl begged the family, saying that if you are short of money, my family has money, my family has a lot of money, my father is a real estate owner, and my family will give you whatever you want.I will not call the police, I will give you a number, you can call for me, my family will never call the police, and I will give you money, the money you take will be enough for the wives to live for the rest of your life.
The family disagreed at first, but then the girl went on a hunger strike, lying on the bed and she was left with a breath.
If the girl died, the family would not only have no wife, but would also owe Mrs. Zhang a huge debt, so they panicked and called the girl's family.
After the girl's family talked with the girl on the phone, they rushed over from far away. They did not call the police as they said on the phone, and they brought a lot of money.Finally, a large bag full of cash was thrown to the entrance of the village, and dozens of villagers carried the girl out on a stretcher.
The girl's family took the girl and left, and they have never been seen again.
The family took the money, went to Mrs. Zhang, and told Mrs. Zhang that I was rich now and could afford a wife.
But I didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to get very angry, saying that the family broke the rules.Not only will he not sell the family's daughter-in-law again.The whole village will not be sold, and the family panicked.I went to the village head, and finally the whole village came forward to talk to Mrs. Zhang, and gave most of the money to Mrs. Zhang, begging Mrs. Zhang to give their village a way out.
After begging for a long time, Mrs. Zhang reluctantly opened her mouth, saying that she would help introduce a person who does this business, but she will not come to this village again.
Zhang Bi couldn't help being stunned. He hadn't touched many things before, so he didn't know how many twists and turns there were, and he didn't know what kind of horror was hidden in it.
After a pause, Zhang Wei asked: "Then this sister-in-law Zhang is the one who abducts and sells girls to you?"
"No."
The old cousin shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang is just a poor person in charge of reselling."
"Sister-in-law Zhang is actually not rich, and she is considered half disabled. Her husband died very early, and her remarried husband was smashed into a disability when he was working on a construction site outside. The whole family relies on Mrs. Zhang to support her alone. .”
"In the beginning, she also went out to work, but later she found that she could not support a family at all, so she started to take care of children in various villages, and gradually began to take care of girls. Because the risk of abduction and trafficking alone was too high for her, she basically started from It takes capital to get someone from the family. But Mrs. Zhang is by no means a person who raises prices on the ground. When there are many "sources" in hand, she will set the price very low, as long as she can earn a little more."
Zhang Wei actually understands what the old cousin said so much, he just put all the status quo in front of you, and let you see how high the cost of rescuing these girls is.
"Thank you for telling me all this." Zhang Wei nodded in a low voice, then turned and walked towards the village.
Seeing Zhang Bi's back, the woman tugged on the old cousin's clothes in a low voice, and frowned, "Tell him all this, what should he do if he goes out to call the police?"
"Don't worry, after hearing so much, he must know that trying to save people from the village is simply whimsical, and he won't call the police." The old cousin smiled, and continued to walk outside with his cousin.
If something happened right in front of him, it would be impossible to ignore it.But how to manage it is the most important issue Zhang Wei needs to consider at present.
In the final analysis, saving people is definitely not an option.Just like what the old cousin said, the human relationship here is far more complicated than I imagined. If I save this, the next girl I don't know will be sold in again.
But if we don't start with this method, we will only have to uproot the entire network of trafficking.
However, this is also an unrealistic plan.
First of all, there are so many impoverished counties across the country, and so many mountainous areas where it takes several days to walk or drive.
Secondly, the ratio of men to women is inherently unequal, not to mention the fact that rich people keep several lovers, which makes the ratio of men and women even more unbalanced, so that this demand will definitely be even more unbalanced.
Zooming in on poverty-stricken areas, there are almost infinite bachelors there.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Wei felt that if he wanted to solve this matter, he had to start from the root cause.
Why do they want to buy a daughter-in-law?Because of poverty, no one wants to marry.
Why poor?
It's definitely not because they don't work hard, on the contrary, the hardship and hard work they put in is unmatched by many people.To put it bluntly, their poverty is entirely caused by the status quo and the environment.
The surrounding area is almost surrounded by mountains and forests, and the harvest of the plants planted is limited. I want to go out to make a living, but I have no diploma or skills.
Zhang Wei looked at the forest full of mountains. It is really difficult to get rich in this kind of place.There are no smooth roads, no attractive landscape features, and to put it bluntly, there is no tourism development value.
But if you don't get rich, it's useless to try to change the criminal behavior of buying a daughter-in-law here.
Only when they are rich, can girls be willing to marry.
Zhang Wei had to put aside the matter of abduction and trafficking for the time being.
He still has some spare cash on him now, and see if he can dig out valuable development areas from here. If there is a chance, he can improve the living conditions of the old mother's family and reduce the evil deeds of women's business here, which is considered a merit.
The originally pessimistic status quo was slowly excavated by Zhang Wei, and suddenly saw the dawn of dawn again.
Back in the yard, my mother was playing cards with my uncles, they were all old-fashioned sophomores, and no one played for money, it was purely for entertainment.
Zhang Wei sat next to his mother, and not long after, relatives came to talk to Zhang Wei.
After all, in their eyes, a college student is an unattainable talent, a pillar of the country, but they don't know that the country's college students are already full of dogs.
In the eyes of adults, there are always misunderstandings about children's majors.
For example, if you major in education, then you will definitely be a teacher in their eyes; if you major in finance, you will definitely be a big boss after you come out...
And for people like Zhang Wei who went to medical school, they assume that you are a doctor, and they will come to ask you about any minor ailments, such as my shoulder pain, what do you think is the cause, and what medicine do I need to take? ?
Fortunately, Zhang Wei is now considered half a genius doctor, otherwise, with his major in health management, someone who has only studied basic medical theory will only be regarded as a child who does not like learning in the eyes of his relatives. No illness at all?
This relative was no exception, and after hanging around Zhang Wei for a while, he asked.
"Zhang Da, I heard that you are a medical student. You see, my waist is always hurting badly in the middle of the night. What should I do? Is there any major problem?"
"It's okay, it's just a little lumbar muscle strain, and it's caused by overwork. A little rest for two days will be fine."
After getting the answer, the relative stopped chatting with Zhang Wei, and went about his own business after a few words.
Dare to chat for a long time, just to ask this last question.
Zhang Wei caught a glimpse of an old man who was basking in the sun in the yard, so he walked over and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa, what's going on here?"
Anyway, Zhang Wei didn't know what his name was. Seeing that his age was the same as his grandfather's, Zhang Wei called out casually.
The old man opened his eyes with a wrinkled face, looked at Zhang Bi carefully for several times, and then said: "There is a stone strip in the cave to the west, and the stone inside will shine. Go a little further, and there is a Tiankeng. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but the children who went out said that those two places are more beautiful than the scenic spots outside.”
Shiny stone slivers?
Zhang Wei thought for a moment, and suddenly understood, maybe this is about stalactites.
"That place is so beautiful, no one in the village intends to use these two places as tourist attractions? It will be much more profitable than farming."
"It can't be done, the boss has left, and it has been more than a year." The old man smiled wryly, as if he had remorse.
Zhang Bi was overjoyed when he heard the words. Not only did he not expect that there would be tourism development value here, but also someone had tried to develop it.
"Since there is development value, why did you leave? Isn't the place not beautiful enough?" Zhang Wei continued to ask.
"Well, they're all from Liu San's village. They insisted on raising the price on the ground, and they don't need to subsidize [-] yuan per person. They insisted that the subsidy was too small. After going back and forth for more than half a year, the boss got impatient and ran to The next county has set up another tourism development.” The old man clenched his haggard fists as he spoke, obviously hating the other person.
This is a subsidy of [-] yuan per person, and more than [-] yuan for a family, and there are too many benefits of occupying tourist attractions.
It's a pity that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!The wealth they got was lost because of their short-sightedness.
