After finishing his meal, Lin Jiasheng went upstairs and fell asleep. He had been squeezed like a meat patty the entire way back. Now that he was full and his brain was deprived of oxygen, he could no longer hold on.

Manager Gao went to work, and Liang Ying's school had been closed, leaving her jobless. She had wanted to take Jiaojiao out for a walk, but Jiaojiao declined, worried that it would be inconvenient for her to be around.

Because of the recent frequent accidents, everyone in the city knew about the mysterious snakes and what happened to the Liang family. Everyone was terrified and dared not act rashly.

After the library caught fire, the scene was in chaos. Eventually, people found several charred bodies in the rubble. According to the final report from the police, they were the leaders of the fire.

Now, all the people who participated in the movement were even more frightened. They all hid at home and dared not act rashly.

But Jiaojiao knew that this was only a temporary phenomenon. The ugliness of human nature was far beyond imagination.

But her personal power was too small. Just like the library fire yesterday, she could have stopped those people with the same means as before.

But she stopped it this time, what about next time? She couldn't watch these things all the time, so she could only save as much as possible!

However, the little animals in her space are all very powerful, and they can tell who has committed the most heinous crimes!

I just hope that by punishing these people, we can save the hundreds of good people who have been persecuted by them!

Master Jiang was more afraid than anyone else. God knew he had met a master this time, but he didn't know if the master had discovered him.

After two days of hiding in his little room, Master Jiang couldn't stand it anymore. Xu San was dead, and his younger brothers, who usually listened to him, were terrified. They heard that Lai Zi had drowned last night out of fear. This place was too dangerous. I couldn't stay any longer!

Master Jiang packed up his bag and sneaked away at night.

"You're still not good enough at martial arts!" Master Jiang was filled with resentment. It was all that old woman's fault. If she hadn't stopped him, how could he have only mastered this little bit of martial arts?

The Jiang family has been fortune-telling for generations, and they're different from other families. Other families pass the divination down to males, not females, but they're different! They pass it down to females, not males!

Master Jiang still remembers when, as a child, his grandmother was a distinguished guest of a high-ranking Party official. Cars frequently drove to and from the house, and those guests, respectfully presenting gifts of gold, silver, and jewelry, were truly blissful.

But how could he have known that the world was changing so quickly? He was now over 40 and was now expected to fend for himself! What was he capable of? He had spent his childhood eating, drinking, and having fun. Even when he was older, he spent his days listening to music and visiting prostitutes. He knew nothing else!

He wanted to learn some divination from his family, but was scolded by his grandmother!

They said fortune-telling is not allowed in the new society, so he should give up the idea!

Haha! Did he really think he was stupid? He had seen his grandmother sneak out with his sister many times, and they always brought back something. And even in years of famine, they didn't starve even if they didn't produce anything.

Where does the family's income come from? It's self-evident!

From then on, he practiced secretly without his family's knowledge. Unexpectedly, he was discovered after just over half a year.

Grandma pointed at his nose and told him to get out, and kicked him, his wife and children out of the house.

Without income, he was left waiting for death. His wife and children, several mouths to feed, waited daily for him to find a solution. After going hungry for several meals, Master Jiang simply packed up his family's remaining provisions and money and fled. From then on, he lived a life where one person fed, and the rest of the family was well fed.

Life outside wasn't easy either. After finally settling down here and hooking up with Xu San, he was even thinking about getting married. With someone to take care of his food and clothing, he only needed to go out and talk, and his life would be as easy as before!

Who knew something unexpected would happen again!

Thinking of the person who forced him to wander again, Master Jiang was frightened and did not dare to blame her. He could only curse his family again in his heart!

Not to mention that Master Jiang fled for his life overnight, Jiaojiao also went to all the places he needed to go in the provincial capital.

"Why are you going back? Stay a few more days!" Manager Gao tried to persuade you to stay. "Or I can take you to Qin Liu'er's place to see if he has any other treasures!"

Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I already made you spend a lot of money last time! Besides, I'm already satisfied with that treasure! I've seen it before, so there's no need to go again!"

Liang Ying didn't try to persuade her, because she had already packed her bags and was ready to go back to Wangjia Village with Jiaojiao.

Let her eldest brother collect the monthly ration in the city for her. They can sell it or keep it for themselves, as long as he sends her some money every month!

Actually, it's more cost-effective to sell the fixed amount here and then buy food in Wangjia Village. Nowadays, every household doesn't have enough food, and the prices of food traded privately are very high!

There was nothing she could do with her yard for the time being, so she could only come back and deal with it later.

Jiaojiao and Liang Ying happily boarded the train back to Xinjin County as Manager Gao and Brother Liang's family were reluctant to leave. It was time to go home!

Manager Gao stood on the platform, watching the trains go away. For the first time, he wished he could put down the burden on his shoulders and go back with them!

At the foot of Daqing Mountain, next to Wangjiacun Primary School, Wangjiacun Middle School has been completed, offering five grades, including junior high and high school. Now that Wangjiacun Middle School has officially opened, children from nearby counties who previously attended school have flocked to it.

In fact, Wangjia Village was the only place where children could continue their studies if they still wanted to. Nearly all other junior high and high schools had suspended classes. Even in the few that did, students frequently disrupted the classroom, making it impossible for teachers to carry out their normal teaching duties.

Zhou Xinghong's younger brother, Zhou Pengcheng, also attends Wangjiacun Middle School. He's a sophomore this year and was originally scheduled to take the college entrance exam in July. However, a piece of paperwork postponed the exam for six months, disrupting all his plans.

Many people from the school joined the rioting group. The children from several nearby teams decided that since there would be no classes in school, they might as well go home!

So seven or eight children returned home from the county town. They agreed to encourage each other and strive to get good grades in the exams by the end of the year!

I didn’t expect that classes at Wangjiacun Middle School would start soon after I came back!

There weren't many students, only about a dozen in total, but there were quite a few teachers.

Since the situation in the city became tense, good friends of the teachers in Wangjia Village have been asking if they can also come to Wangjia Village to become teachers.

It happened that there were no teachers at Wangjiacun Middle School, so they called over a dozen of them.

As soon as Zhou Pengcheng listened to these teachers’ lectures, he felt that there was definitely a world of difference compared to their previous teachers!

These teachers are very interesting when they give lectures, citing a wide range of references and arranging and expanding the knowledge system with ease.

Even mathematics, which they have always thought is boring, can be explained in a wonderful way by the teacher!

These children come to school early every day and devote themselves to learning eagerly. In just two months, they feel that they have learned more than they did in the previous year!

Zhou Pengcheng calculated the time and felt secretly regretful. He was about to take the college entrance examination and he was afraid that he would not have many opportunities to study with these teachers in the future!

But on second thought, if he could get into a good university, there would surely be such excellent teachers to teach them!
