The girl had no ability to resist and could only kneel down.
She rubbed her hands nervously and pulled down the two patches of clothes. She did not obey her father's words and kowtow, but begged in a low voice: "Dad, can you stop selling the books Mr. Yuan gave me in exchange for wine?" , I will work hard, please..."
"Nonsense, when did I sell Mr. Yuan's book? Didn't your brother Tan Wan throw it into the kitchen?!"
When the man saw that the girl had revealed the truth about him coming to ask for a book, he became very angry. He grabbed the girl's braids and pulled her up.
Just when he raised his hand to hit someone, the students present, including Ning Wuyan, rolled up their sleeves and prepared to stop him.
As a guard, Mei Xiang was one step faster than them. She grabbed the man's wrist and pulled him back hard, saying angrily: "You are using your daughter to make money, and you still want to beat her up?"
"Can you care if I beat my own daughter?"
The man breathed out drunkenly.
Almost overpowering the plum fragrance.
Although Mei Xiang is usually not very bright, she also knows that if she is cruel, unless she beats the man to death, the girl will be beaten again in the future, and maybe the girl will be beaten more seriously because she stood up for the girl.
"Miss, what should I do?"
Mei Xiang couldn't solve such a problem, so she could only ask her own lady for help.
Shen Youchu always had a lot of tricks up her sleeve when things happened, but she had never met such a rogue person.
In order to buy wine, he actually forced his daughter to lie and ask for things from others.
Even if you really feel sorry for the girl when you meet such a person and give the book to the man, the girl's fate will probably be even more pitiful.
But don’t give…
The man is the girl's father, how can she, an outsider, always keep an eye on the man and not hit the girl?
cannot.
Even if she wants to buy a girl, based on the man's virtue, she will only give up if the lion opens her mouth and squeezes out the girl's lifetime value.
It was something Shen Youchu could think of.
Others thought of it too.
Especially Cheng Yi, he didn't expect that his temporary act of kindness failed to help those children, but instead caused them greater harm and made him blame himself even more.
"Brother Ning, I was wrong, village school... I really can't do it."
Cheng Yi lowered his head in despair, listless.
The remaining students also sighed, knowing that the matter of village studies would be over.
Only the man, after hearing what Cheng Yi said, despite Mei Xiang still locking his wrist, struggled and shouted: "Cheng, you said that my child should go to the village school, and you can get a subsidy of ten cents a day, you can't Don’t do it anymore!”
Not just men.
The villagers who had been sitting in the shade of the trees enjoying the cool weather and observing what was going on here heard Cheng Yi saying that the village school could not be run, and they all rushed forward excitedly to criticize.
"You literary men and women are different from us country women. You spit out your words and make a nail in your mouth. How can you say that you can't do something but don't do it?"
"You said you were going to build a village school, and you said it so well, but you only spent a few dollars, and you're leaving?"
"We don't even let our children do any work in order to let them study. How much labor has been wasted? You must pay compensation before you can leave."
The more rogue a person is, the more effective he is in fighting unreasonably.
Many of these people are middle-aged women who have nothing to do and bully their neighbors. They are all tricky.
People who treat themselves with extremely low standards are particularly good at using morality to kidnap others.
Students who have extremely high demands on themselves often reflect on themselves, so when they heard this accusation, they were caught in a dilemma.
It is indeed unethical to give up running village schools.
But if they don't give up, they will always feel like they are being taken advantage of.
The students looked at Cheng Yi, who took the lead in organizing this matter, and saw Cheng Yi staring blankly at the girl kneeling on the ground. They felt that Cheng Yi's mood was as wilted as an eggplant beaten by autumn frost.
None of the students spoke, which undoubtedly further fueled the arrogance of the village women.
"After I heard that you were going to set up a village school, the children were very happy and wanted to come to study every day."
"If you leave now, you are irresponsible for our children."
"I asked my two grandsons to come back from private schools in the town and prepare to go to the village. They pay twenty cents a day. You can leave if you want, but we will give you ten years of money first!"
Underneath the hypocrisy, what was revealed was all calculation.
Ning Wuyan looked at the village women who were spitting loudly, almost drowning Cheng Yi and others. He had already imagined how low-quality these people were due to their limited cognitive level.
But the truth is, these people are worse than he imagined.
Not only did they not think about actually setting up the village school, but they also took Cheng Yi and the others as their culprits. It can be said that poverty makes sense.
In fact, he didn't want to worry about it.
However, when he saw two barefoot boys hiding in the tree and looking over here with expectant eyes, they were holding branches and writing "dog eggs" and "dog eggs" crookedly on the ground. The name of "Iron Pillar".
He felt that this kind of badness was not something that came from their bones, but was forced by poverty, which made these village women short-sighted and wanted to take advantage.
"The village school is what you want to run when you become a young master. You can tell me whether it will be run. If not, you will pay us compensation now. We will tear down the courtyard wall and build a chicken coop when we get home."
"Yes, should we do it or not?"
The village women urged.
There were a few street kids who had nothing to do. When they heard about the compensation, they brought their children to join in the fun.
The man who came to ask for the book at first shouted loudly, lay down on the ground, and shouted, "These young men are bullying people," and spared no effort to splash dirty water.
The purpose is obvious.
I hope they can peel off a layer of skin before Cheng Yi and the others leave.
Cheng Yi suddenly had a big head and two heads. He stared at this group of dissatisfied and unenterprising villagers with red eyes. He was so depressed that he really wanted to give up his job.
But when he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the children who sneaked into his yard at night to ask him for advice and brought him snails and bird eggs to eat, he couldn't bear it and burst into tears.
Qin Fenglan, who was supporting Cheng Yi, couldn't stand it anymore. He let go of Cheng Yi's hand, walked to Ning Wuyan, bowed his hands, and asked for help: "Brother Ning, what do you have in mind?"
That day in the dungeon, when Cheng Yi was drunk, Qin Fenglan said that he hoped Ning Wuyang would find a way to deal with the village school issue. He had expected that such a day would come.
But what Qin Fenglan didn't expect was that the result was worse than he imagined.
These are not a group of poor people in need of help. They are clearly a group of gadflies who want to suck blood!
"I don't have any high opinions, I'm just a businessman."
Ning Wuyan's answer made Qin Fenglan a little disappointed.
But then I thought about it, this matter is so difficult, whoever takes over will not be able to eat mutton and make a mess.
"Brother Ning, I know that I have made things difficult for others, but if these people maliciously smear Brother Cheng's reputation, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to Brother Cheng's career."
Qin Fenglan sighed, but was helpless.
There is no other way but to let Cheng Yi suffer the consequences.
I believe that after this experience, Cheng Yi will understand that he should not always be kind to others in the future, and he will be able to grow.
"Brother Qin, I just said that I don't have high opinions, but it doesn't mean that I can't solve this matter."
Ning Wuyan's words gave Qin Fenglan new hope.
But the hope in his heart had not yet sprouted, and he heard Ning Wuyan continue to say: "I think it is useless to let the children go to the village to study. It is better to let them earn more money."
What? !
Qin Fenglan suspected that he heard wrongly.
Ji Jin, who had been secretly observing Ning Wuyan, was dumbfounded by these remarks.
Are these words coming from Mr. Ning’s mouth?
"Mr. Ning, are you talking angrily?"
Ji Jin could only think of this reason to excuse Mr. Ning.
