In 2010, I was firmly established in a large urban factory and my career was going smoothly. However, because of a heartless conversation, my colleagues found out about me, thus revealing my painful past that had been buried for more than 20 years.
I was born in a poor mountain village. I was frail and asthmatic since I was a child. I was disliked by my brother and sister-in-law and regarded as a burden on the family. As a result, I was treated coldly and harshly. In order to get out of my humble situation and take a breath, I got married hastily at the age of eighteen.
I thought marriage was salvation, but I didn't expect that I would fall into a deeper quagmire. Life is difficult for her husband's family, her sister-in-law is scheming, her uncle is overbearing, and her husband is idle and addicted to gambling.
In desperation, I put aside my pride, gritted my teeth and returned to my parents' home to make a living. Survive the pain, survive the oppression, survive countless days when there is no hope.
With a tenacity that refused to admit defeat, I endured and worked hard all the way and worked my way up.
Slowly get out of the closed mountains, leave the depressing countryside and go to the city to make a living.
Starting from a temporary job at the bottom, he worked hard, studied hard and was promoted step by step, eventually entering the management room of a large company.
There is no golden finger, no overnight wealth, and no great fortune.
I am just one of thousands of low-class women. Rewriting my destiny with my hands and standing up from the dust is the most practical counterattack in my ordinary life.
