"As far as I know, most of the girls here get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen," Shen Wenzhong said calmly: "According to our country's law, a girl is not considered an adult until she is eighteen years old, and a girl does not reach the legal age of marriage until she is twenty. .
The age of sexual consent stipulated by the law is over fourteen years old. Anyone under fourteen years old, regardless of consent, is raped and is subject to a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. If it is accompanied by abuse, beating, etc., the circumstances are serious and will be severely punished. Punishment. "
Everyone took a breath and then looked at each other and murmured softly.
Everyone knows very well that most of them are said to be fourteen or fifteen years old, but in fact most of them are under fourteen.
Those girls would be fine if they had no one to support them. If they had someone to support them, this would be really difficult.
Just like the family at the east end of the village, the man wanted to marry off his eight-year-old daughter, and the woman stabbed the man with a knife.
He also said that because the man was at fault first, the woman was not allowed to kill as compensation and was only sentenced to four years.
I felt a little worried for a while.
Shen Yue clapped her hands happily.
[Grandpa is mighty. You can tell by looking at the expressions of these people that something is going on. In my opinion, stop talking nonsense to them and just call the police and arrest them all.
If their conscience cannot be educated well, it will be left to prison education. 】
There was silence for a while.
Shen Wenzhong continued: "Let me tell you more about the Minors Protection Law. Minors have the right to receive nine years of compulsory education. It is illegal and criminal to deprive them of their rights.
besides……"
"Don't talk to me about anything illegal," the uncle interrupted Shen Wenzhong, "We gave birth to the child, so we can't make the decision anymore?
I really don’t understand, we all came here this way, why does it not work in their generation?
Forget it, we won’t quarrel with you anymore. I guess what you said makes sense and what you did is right.
It is not impossible to let them study, but they must stay with us to study. At most, they can study in our town. They cannot go to the city. We will not worry if they are far away.
If you really want to help, just call us directly for tuition and living expenses on time, and you don’t need to worry about anything else. "
【Hey! The abacus beads are almost jumping on my face. It is really the floor of human morality. 】
The lawyer who didn't hear the sound of the abacus thought about it seriously and even thought it was feasible. "What you said makes sense. It's because we didn't think carefully. You will really feel uneasy if the child is too far away, let alone a girl."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the grandfather and grandson sneered again at the same time.
[It seems that the lawyer brother has lost sight of human morality. 】
Shen Wenzhong directly exposed their calculations, "I will give you money and ask you to use it on the boys at home. Am I right?"
After hearing this, the lawyer was busy looking at everyone's expressions.
It really is!
The lawyer clenched his fists in anger, "You are really hopeless."
Shen Wenzhong didn't want to talk nonsense to them, "When I came here, I already got the list of girls in the village. Regardless of their age, whether they are married or have children, as long as they want to study, they can study. The tuition and living expenses will be paid by the foundation.
If you don't want to, then I will call the police.
Don't tell me that this is your custom here. Even if the police come, they can't control it. As long as this place is within the scope of country Z, the laws of country Z will apply.
The police here can't control it, so I will find the police above. In short, I will definitely let you go to jail as you wish. "
"You..." The uncle was so angry that he couldn't breathe. "Are you robbers?"
"Go!" Shen Wenzhong turned to the bodyguard behind him and said, "Call all the women in the village over."
There are more than 200 households in the village, and it took a total of forty minutes to gather.
Women usually carry one on their backs, hold another in their arms, and one or two others timidly holding on to their clothes.
Most of the clothes didn't fit well, were either too big or too small, and even had patches on top of them.
His face was also chapped or dirty. In short, except for his teeth, everything else was not white.
Xu had never seen outsiders before, and their eyes were very timid and evasive.
After the lawyer explained the matter to everyone, several women raised their hands and agreed without thinking.
"What we are willing to do is just..." The woman lowered her eyes and rubbed her daughter, who had her face buried in her waist because she was embarrassed. "We are already like this. Do you think this is okay? You take us into the city and let our The children go to school and we work part-time.
We only need your help with tuition fees, and we can pay for living expenses ourselves. "
"Yes! Although we can't read a few words, we are strong, can work, and can do anything."
“Our lives are ruined and we cannot let our children be like us, especially our daughter.
It’s too hard to be forced by your family to get married when you are fourteen or fifteen years old, and then repeat our current life. "
"It's so hard. Even if we're pregnant, we're still the only ones doing the work at home. Whenever they're in a bad mood, they'll beat us up and look at us..."
As he spoke, the women rolled up their sleeves one after another. Their arms were blue, purple, and red, but they didn't have fair skin.
It was heart-wrenching to see.
"We know that reading is useful, just like Feng Ting in the east of the village, who stabbed her man to death in order to prevent him from selling his eight-year-old daughter.
We thought she would be sentenced to death, but we didn't expect that she would only be sentenced to four years.
Her story lets us know that reading is useful. Only those who read know how to resist. Unlike me, who watched my ten-year-old daughter being married off like an animal.
Damn me! "
"Yes! We want to go to school, but what about our children? We can't leave our children here, especially our daughter. Staying here will only lead to the same fate as us."
The lawyer was dumbfounded. Before he came, he only considered their schooling. He never considered that they were different from the girls in the city. They got married and had children when they were fourteen or fifteen. We couldn't let them leave their children alone!
Shen Wenzhong pondered for a moment and said: "Bring the people you want to take with you to school together. It just so happens that the foundation is an abandoned elementary school and there is plenty of space. You can live in the foundation first.
The school will make arrangements for you. If you are not old enough to go to elementary school, we will arrange for you to go to kindergarten or daycare.
The living expenses fund will pay for it, and you can take turns doing the cooking, or you can set up a kitchen like a school.
If you don't want to go to school, you can also learn skills. Once you learn it, you will be arranged to work at Shen's.
For those with particularly outstanding results, the foundation will issue additional bonuses. "
After hearing this, the women couldn't believe it at first. After reacting for a while, they confirmed that they had really heard it, and then excitedly held hands with each other and started jumping up and down.
"It's great. It's great to finally get out of this hellish place."
"Yeah! It's great, I finally don't have to be beaten."
…
Just when I was happy, a man came out to pour cold water on me.
