Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

"Do you need me to kowtow to you?"

There is a saying that a man has gold at his knees.

But how can I still think of this sentence now?

Nana's, now as long as she can give me money, I can call her daddy.

Sometimes, if you want to let go of face, you have to let it go.

What's the use of standing still and thinking that you are noble?

Do you want to watch your mother die because she has no money for medical treatment?

And maintain that poor worthless self-esteem?

Sometimes, dignity is indeed valuable, but in this place, it is worthless.

"What? You said you want to kowtow to me?"

Minglong finally reacted after hearing my words, and then he was at a loss.

Maybe she just wanted to tease me and didn't mean to let me do this.

But now, how can I have the leisure to joke with her?

"What? One is not enough?"

I frowned and asked with some confusion.

"No, no, I mean, I was just joking."

Seeing my serious look, Minglong immediately ran down, helped me up, and then explained to me.

"Well, can you lend me money this time?"

I glanced at Minglong next to me and asked her.

My knees are still aching from kneeling too fast.

"How much do you want?"

When Minglong heard what I said, he stopped teasing me. The look on his face became serious and he asked me.

"Give me six hundred thousand first."

I thought for a moment, and then told Minglong the amount of money I expected.

"Okay, please change your clothes first."

Minglong also agreed decisively.

For Minglong, she often robs other people's parks and obtains a lot of resources.

In addition, she occasionally sells drugs, so it can be said that she has a lot of assets.

Six hundred thousand, for her, is just drizzle.

Minglong looked at my soaked clothes, and then wanted to get her clothes for me.

Because she usually wears boys' clothes, there is no conflict if she wears one for me.

"No, I'm fine. Now you can follow me to the Finance Department to remit the money."

Seeing Minglong wanting to leave, I directly held her hand.

If I don’t get the money back now, I will really have trouble sleeping and eating.

Minglong saw me holding her hand, and there was a hint of danger in her eyes at first, but when she saw the worry in my eyes, she didn't break away.

I grabbed her and ran outside without even a chance to get an umbrella.

"Hey, do you know where the finance department is?"

Behind me, Minglong, who had been soaked in the rain, suddenly asked me.

Hearing Minglong's inquiry, my steps also slowed down.

Thinking back carefully, it seems that I really don't know where the finance department is.

"You're such an idiot, come with me!"

Minglong tightened my hand and led me to run in the other direction.

Our two positions were reversed.

After a while, we also came to a room, and entering was the finance department.

The next step was very simple. I mentioned my family’s account number, and as for the money, it was deducted from Minglong’s account number.

This kind of free prostitution feels good.

When I dialed the money, I also took out the mobile phone wrapped in a plastic bag.

It doesn't work without wrapping it in a plastic bag. This is not a copycat phone and it won't be waterproof.

Although my mother's illness made me behave impulsively, I am not stupid.

I still have to use this phone to call home and ask about the situation.

"Dudududu..."

The phone rang a few times, and then my sister received the call.

"elder brother......"

"Little sister, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now."

When I heard my little sister's voice and remembered my behavior just now, I immediately apologized to my little sister.

To be fair, I still like and dote on this sister very much.

"It's okay, brother, I know you care too much about mom."

The little sister accepted my apology very understandingly, and was not unreasonable like other children.

"By the way, I sent back a sum of money and asked my father to take my mother to the best hospital for treatment. I have plenty of money. If not, please call me."

There was a calmness in my tone. As for how difficult it is to obtain this money, I am afraid only I know.

But, aren’t all people like this?

People who work outside have to swallow their teeth even if they lose their teeth.

Then when communicating with family members, you have to smile.

"Brother, you..."

"Okay, I have something to do now and I have no money. Remember to contact me. Of course, I will call regularly."

Before the younger sister could finish what she said, I interrupted her, made an excuse, and hung up the phone.

I know what the little girl is going to say next, so if I don't interrupt her, I'm afraid I won't be able to pretend.

"I didn't expect you to have such a side, but next time your little sister really calls, can you really come up with the money?"

At this time, Minglong had finished talking to the people in the finance department, and then came behind me at some point.

"It's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's phone calls."

I glanced at Minglong next to me, and then said lightly.

"As for how to get money next time, we'll see when the time comes. I believe you won't ignore it, right?"

Without waiting for Minglong to speak, I took out the cigarettes in my pocket and wanted to give her one. However, the cigarettes were all soaked by the rain.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Well, that's not necessarily the case."

Minglong handed me the cigarette that just came out of the Finance Department's hand, winked at me and said.

I took the cigarette and took a puff without saying anything.

If he didn't want to lend it to me next time, Minglong wouldn't be here talking to me.

"How old is your little sister?"

Minglong next to me blew out a smoke ring and asked me.

"Twelve years old, a very sensible little girl."

After hearing Minglong's question, my mind also pictured the cute yet somewhat stubborn appearance of the little girl.

However, I don’t know what it looks like now after a few months.

"Do you want to make money? I can give you a chance, the kind that costs ten thousand in five minutes."

When Minglong heard this, he didn't go any further on this topic, and then asked me this question.

When I heard Minglong say this, I was stunned for a moment.

10,000 yuan in ten minutes and 60 minutes in one hour, that is, I can get 120,000 yuan in one hour.
