I cried when I heard “she’s only a girl”. I always think I am not only a girl. According to me, I can do anything that boys can do.
When I stop crying, I borrowed some money from dad, I told him I am going to be a business woman, when I make a profit, I would return the money, my dad was allowed me to be.
The days go on forever. I am growing, now I am 23 years old. I used the money from dad, I bought a storefront, then I used the rest of money to buy some cow leathers, and I bought 2 machines for making leather shoes. I knew making shoes is not an easy work, and in our town, there is not any woman to trade leather shoes. At first, my skills weren’t very well, and nobody bought my shoes, I was quite anxious. Moreover, on the long run, this might evolve into “trouble store”, I would have no money to return, and I couldn’t prove I can do anything that boys can do. Until one day, a handsome man came to my store.
He said,” Excuse me, can you make a pair of leather shoes for me, I want to take it after two days, can you?”
He looked at me and smiled. When I heard customer asked for making shoes, I was extremely happy, because I have my first trade.
I smiled too,” sure, sir. Which color do you want?”
“Just brown and I would like this style.” He used his finger, pointed my new design.
I nodded my head. He paid money, and then he went out. I began to making shoes, because the soles are made of leathers, it is a quite hard work. I had to use all my strength to sew the soles. I was hard-working, because satisfying customers is of great importance for my trade. Finally, I was done. It is the best I’ve ever done on making leather soles. I believe that man would satisfy. After 2 days, that man came in my store.
“Excuse me. I am coming for my leather shoes.”
I smiled,” Well, just one moment, please.” I turned around to take the leather shoes. I put the leather shoes on the table, the man checked the shoes.
He knots his eyebrows, “sorry, I am disappointed. I refuse to accept these shoes.”
I was very nervous,” sorry, what’s wrong?”
“Miss, these leather soles are not perfect, I think you need to improve your skills. I suggest you’d better to learn how to sew leather soles.” That man said bluntly. I was too embarrassed to answer.
“Miss, if you not mind, I am very pressure to be your teacher. I learned how to make a perfect leather shoes for five years.” He seemed like very single-hearted.
“How much for the salary.” I said, without preamble of any sort.
“Five dollars per hour.” He still was smiling.
“Well, let’s start.” I can’t wait.
From that day, he taught me 2 hours everyday, and I discovered his skills are better than mine so much more. And there was a reason that I just had to admit, making shoes are more fit to men. Women’s strength can’t compare with men. Because of him, I made a lot of money, and I returned the some money to me father, my store became a famous leather shoes store. He and I will excite the emotions in the course of time. Soon after, he married me. On my wedding day, I talked to my mother.
” Mom, I figure it out, I can’t lie, I am only a girl, for many years, my husband taught me a lot, something that I can’t flaunt my superiority, if he didn’t appear, I think I wouldn't have got I have today. The woman is a woman, ignore you how self-renewal you will to seek a shelter.” My mother listening that, she was almost moved to tears.
“My dear, thanks god, you figure it out, we are so happy that you have your own family. I wish you love!”
“Thanks, mom.” I smiled.
Henceforth, my husband and I is happy life!
