Chapter 206

Before her friends raised the goal of helping prostitutes to become good, Yang Yuyan had always thought that prostitutes were now a legal profession.

Because advertisements for prostitutes are in the newspaper every day.

Yang Xuhe advertised for prostitutes in the newspaper every day, didn’t he?

Every now and then, an advertisement for “Northland Rouge” or something like that would appear in the pictorials, worded like the Ministry of Shock and awe, similar to the feeling of a celebrity coming to perform, and many volcanic sons of filial piety would pounce on it with their banknotes in their hands.

With so many bright advertisements, of course she thought that prostitutes were legal.

But the passionate schoolgirls told her that the government had already legislated against prostitutes, prohibiting women from engaging in “degrading” work in order to clean up society and prevent the spread of disease, and so on.

But the fact is that there is a policy at the top and a countermeasure at the bottom.

Brothels or brothels can continue to operate as long as they pay enough protection money. But if you don’t pay the protection fee, the police and the health bureau will have a reason to close down your store and put the prostitutes in jail, waiting for the pimps to pay up before releasing them. The johns can also be blackmailed if they are caught.

But the government is not completely indifferent. Every now and then, the government’s campaigns against pornography would arrest Yang Xuhe and put him in jail.

The schoolgirls almost all joined the second division, as if what happened to Wang Zhi’e had given them a little courage to continue their ideals.

Of course, since there was going to be a meeting, it was of course necessary to analyze why prostitutes were created and what was the root cause of their creation.

Only by analyzing the source can we prescribe the right medicine to completely eliminate the sinful profession of prostitutes that destroys human nature.

Most of the people attending the meeting had thin assets at home, and basically had seen prostitutes before.

–except Shi Wuwei.

Yang Yuyan thought for a moment and said, “I’ve seen them before at my father’s place.”

It was the time she went to pay her respects to Yang Xuhe. She saw a group of prostitutes.

“I thought they looked different from what I imagined.” She said.

She imagined prostitutes to be heavily made up, full of flavor, and very sexually explicit.

But the girls she saw were all dressed in big, fat, gray cotton coats that looked old. They were eighteen or nineteen years old, eleven or twelve years old, and their black hair was braided, either in two braids or in one braid, tied with a cotton rope, and hung down in front of their chests and behind their backs. They have no make-up, powder are not painted, also did not wear jewelry, little girls are with red cotton thread through the ear holes, only a few older ones wearing silver jewelry.

In short, it just looked-

Yang Yuyan: “Very poor.”

None of them looked like rich people.

Two other schoolgirls also said they’d seen prostitutes at the hall meeting.

A hall meeting is where an opera troupe is invited and friends and family sit together to play games and have fun.

One of the female students said, “I was sitting with my mother, and a little opera singer in costume came over to beg for money, so I took two dollars and gave it to her. After she went down from our side of the building, I saw her go to the next building with a few other theatergoers to beg for the reward.” She paused for a moment, her face turned a little red, and her voice became smaller: “Then I saw them all go into the house in that building, and I didn’t see them come out after the opera.”

The opera is sung one by one. The first to finish singing, if there is no following her play, you can change the costume and come out to find the guests to beg for reward. If she meets a female guest, she can at most sing a part with the audience, and the reward money will come to her. But if the male guests, if the role of Cui Yingying, Yang Yuhuan, Yu Ji, etc. is played on the theater, it will be easy to be taken advantage of.

Another female student said, “I saw my cousin pull that little opera singer into the house, and then that little opera singer even found her way to her cousin’s house. Bah, disgusting!”

There weren’t many male students in the second division, Shi Wuwei was completely inexperienced, and from the beginning he just looked like he couldn’t even lift his head up.

The other few male students were also a bit embarrassed. The female students were all done speaking and all went to look at the male students. Because by default the male students must know more about prostitutes – all eighteen, nineteen, twenty-something years old, don’t play dumb and say you don’t know!

One male student had to provide a powerful story.

MALE STUDENT: “I have a cousin …… who took a prostitute as a concubine.”

That would be really powerful.

Everyone’s eyes focused over.

The male student thought about it for a moment and decided that his cousin couldn’t possibly know that he was telling scandalous stories about his family at school anyway, not to mention that didn’t the first few female students all talk about their own families? Ms. Yang even told about her father, he only told about a cousin, already very save face for his own family.

The male student also told the story in a colorful manner: “After my cousin got married, he moved out of the house and bought another courtyard to live in. About half a year later, my cousin’s sister-in-law came home and said that my cousin often ran away on the pretext of doing business, and always didn’t come back for three to five days, spending money like water. The family was worried that my cousin had gotten involved in gambling, so they tied him up, and when they asked, they realized that he didn’t go to the casino, but bought a small prostitute and rented a courtyard outside to put her in. Every time he went out from his house, he went to see this little whore.”

Yang Yuyan listened with great interest and asked for everyone, “What happened afterward?”

The male student spread his hands and was particularly irresponsible, “That I don’t know. All I know is that my cousin and my cousin’s wife moved back in, and my cousin’s wife brought a new aunt with her on New Year’s Eve, and I heard that she was the little whore that was put outside.”

The male student couldn’t help but feel a hint of envy as he spoke.

Asked him what he remembered about that new aunt, such as suffering and being looked down upon and so on.

As it turned out, the male student’s train of thought was just extraordinary.

He thought for a moment and said, “This new aunt is quite capable of drinking. My cousin even had her come to the table to help him hold back the wine.”

The female students were naturally very sympathetic when they heard this, and all they could brainstorm was the tragic situation of the new aunt being forced to drink.

Shi Wuwei was curious afterward, “My former second master could drink two catties when he was fighting sorghum. I wonder how many pounds this new aunt can drink.”

Yang Yuyan: “……”

In short, of the dozen or so people in Division Two, 80% of them have seen prostitutes. What kind of concept is that? Not even 80% of the people in Division 2 have seen a cop.

This means that out there right now, there are more prostitutes than cops. It’s almost the same order of magnitude as food market vendors.

But what was the reason for there being so many prostitutes?

This time, Yang Yuyan really didn’t know.

Yang Yu Cicada didn’t know either.

Shi Wuwei: “……”

The three new age intellectual youths had finally discovered their intellectual blind spot.

So after returning to Little Red Mansion, they began to look around for someone to ask.

Zhang Ma: “Prostitutes? Those are all poor people, they are all sold.”

Prof. Dai: “I haven’t studied this …….”

Su Chunjun: “……”

He just came back, the jacket has not been put down, Miss Yang Er was like a whirlwind blowing over, the aroma of the people, kissed for the fiancé poured tea, helped him to sit down on the sofa, and asked him to help with his homework.

The title of the homework was: Have you ever seen a prostitute?

What is your impression of them?

For what reasons do you think prostitutes become prostitutes?

Su Chunjun served tea and looked at the three questions.

Yang Yuyan: “You must have seen them, right? Wu Wei Long and the others have seen it.”

Su Chunjun: “Who is Wu Weilong?”

Yang Yuyan: “My classmate.”

Su Chunjun put down his teacup.

Miss Yang Er – Fiancee: “What kind of prostitutes have you seen? Are they pitiful? Are the clothes they wear old? Do they have jewelry on their heads? Is the jewelry gold or silver?”

Su Chunjun: “……”

Su Chunjun coughed violently.

Zhang Ma heard the commotion and ran over, and when she saw it was him, she poured water and brought it over, “What’s wrong? Did you get cold on the way back from the wind?”

Yang Yuyan hurriedly put down her homework and helped pat Su Chunjun’s back, saying blankly, “I was fine just now.”

Su Chunjun had a big cough, his throat was damaged and he was unable to speak. Zhang Ma fed him two mouthfuls of Autumn Pear Cream and had him take a throat-clearing mint candy.

Su Chunjun then closed his mouth and began practicing closed mouth meditation, listening to others.

In the entire household, the only one left who could speak without a bit of mental baggage was Zhu Yanshu.

Holding Yang Yucan’s homework as a fan, she sighed and said, “Because women, ah, can only stay at home. They can only go from their father’s house to their husband’s house to their son’s house, this society has no place for them. Men can take the imperial examinations to become an official, can do business to do small business, or else do hard labor also have a way to live. Women can’t. So once a woman is driven from her home, she has no way to live.”

Or if her father’s family doesn’t want her, or her husband’s family doesn’t want her, or her son’s family doesn’t want her, she has no choice but to live in exile.

But people have to eat every day and sleep when it’s dark; that’s a physiological need.

But without money, how is she going to support herself?

Zhu Yanshu: “They are all bitter people. But where there is a way to live, they won’t take it.”

That’s why Du Shiniang’s stream would find a man of one heart and want to take up prostitution. Even though she herself has a fortune and a hundred treasure chests, without a man, she has no place to stay.
