Looking forward to the son's success and the daughter's success, parents' wishes are beautiful, but sometimes they backfire. Some people leave school early to work because their families are poor. As the saying goes, "the learning of a hundred philosophers leads to all kinds of actions." Nowadays, reading is not the only way out. As long as people are diligent and willing to work hard, they will certainly gain something.
My family was poor when I was a child. My parents contracted a barren hill behind the village. On weekdays, they make a living by selling fruits. At that time, my brother and I were both studying, and my parents were really under great pressure. Later, in the third grade, my parents asked me to drop out of school and work for my brother.
For this family, I left my favorite industry and went to Dongguan to work with my relatives for seven years. Later, when I was tired from work and had some savings in my hand, I wanted to go back to my hometown to start a business and try to change my destiny.
I didn't have any skills at that time, and I didn't know what to do when I returned to my hometown. Later, I heard from my neighbor Aunt Liu that her daughter opened a barber shop in Wuhan, and the business was not bad, so I went to her daughter's shop as an apprentice through Aunt Liu.
Three years later, I returned to my hometown and started my own business. I rented a facade and opened a barber shop near No.1 Middle School in the county.
One 10 years passed, and my brother and I got married one after another. My husband is a city dweller with a modest family, but my in-laws are very kind to me, and my family is fairly well off. After graduating from college, my brother went back to his hometown to develop. Last year, he married his college classmate.
I'm glad to see my brother get married, but my sister-in-law is a very arrogant woman. Maybe she thinks she is a college student and often puts on a condescending posture in front of me, but I never care. Plus, there are not many times to deal with my sister-in-law, and we don't seem to have much contradiction.
Since I opened a barber shop, I'm famous in the neighborhood and my customers are quite stable. You can earn seven or eight thousand a month. It's a little hard, but it's better than working.
I am a kind person and have had my hair cut for many years. Every time those lonely old people come to my shop for a haircut, I don't charge half a cent. For other customers, I have always been innocent. I think I can earn less money, but be a conscientious person and do my best to help those who are in trouble. Why not? For me, this is also fame and fortune.
My sister-in-law brought three colleagues to my shop for a haircut the day before yesterday, and one of them even had a perm.
Before entering the door, my sister-in-law told me with a smile that she would take good care of my business and leave after cutting her hair. I hinted that he didn't give her money, so her sister-in-law took out a hundred and threw it on the ground, then took an angry look at me and left.
No sooner had my sister-in-law left than my brother called. He always blames me: Are you still my own sister? My wife went to your place for a haircut, and you still have to collect money from your own family? Have you lost any money? Give me back 100 yuan quickly.
I feel speechless. Haircut charge for four people 100. Too much? Apart from the cost of materials and time, I didn't earn them a penny at all.
Some people may think that my brother is right. There should be no money at home, but I don't open a shop for charity. I also need to earn money to maintain the monthly expenses in the shop. Besides, my sister-in-law took three colleagues to have their hair cut. If my sister-in-law comes alone, I won't accept a penny.
Brothers are still clear about the account. Since it's business, you have to make a living by craft. How can they not charge? Even if you give a family price and a preferential price, you have to recover your capital. To put it bluntly, your brother and sister just want to take advantage.
