"Ahem, Shaoqiang's mother, please stop talking."

The head of Xiagou Village desperately signaled, "The leader, the leader is still here."

Director Zhu was the highest-ranking official he could meet, so naturally he was extremely respectful.

Only then did Niu Shaoqiang's parents notice that in addition to the village chiefs of the two villages, there were several more police officers, and they immediately became speechless.

Why are there still police?

They just want to take their daughter home, and they haven't broken any law!

The last time they came to rob people, the people from Xiagou Village smashed all the tables, chairs and benches. There was no place for them to sit down and negotiate, so they could only stand in the playground.

Niu Shaoqiang had sharp eyes and looked directly at the bungalow next to the playground.

"Let Erniu come out!"

"Make it clear and say goodbye."

Qin Zhiya said angrily, "She is a person, not an object. You can do whatever you want to her."

"Who do you think you are? You just have a few coins and two steamed buns. What's the big deal? Do you think you can keep me here and not let me leave?!"

Niu Shaoqiang spoke rudely to Qin Zhiya and didn't take her seriously at all.

In Niu Shaoqiang's mind, Qin Zhiya was just a rich fool who came to this remote place to provide education for others.

And also for girls.

I have so much money that I am burning it.

"She doesn't want to leave. You can't go against the wishes of women and children." Qin Zhiya showed no sign of weakness.

"Alright, there's no point in arguing any further. Just tell us what you all want and see how this matter can be resolved."

"Are you going to make all the children wait for your family's troubles?"

Director Zhu looked at the small but clean and bright school, feeling mixed emotions.

Being able to run a school in such a place proves that the Wuyou Foundation truly cares about the people.

His balance also unconsciously tilted towards Qin Zhiya's side. He looked at her and said, "You tell me first. You paid for the school and the children's education. What do you think?"

"We don't agree with them taking Erniu away. Erniu is only fourteen years old. How can she get married? She doesn't want to go, and no one can force her."

Qin Zhiya did not give in at all.

Now Erniu's family is going to push her into the fire pit with their own hands.

No one will help Erniu except the charity foundation.

If even they retreat, what awaits Erniu will be an endless abyss.

If she had never read books and seen the outside world, she might not have resisted and would have accepted her fate.

But Erniu is already full of yearning for the outside world. Now that she has seen the light, dragging her back into the darkness of ignorance is simply torture!

Director Zhu nodded and looked at the Niu family.

"What about you?"

Niu Shaoqiang was the first to speak: "She was born and raised by my parents. My parents asked her to go home, how dare she not go back?!"

"She's part of our family, so naturally we have the final say on where she goes. We're definitely taking her with us. We also agreed to support her through high school. Since we're not going to continue, we have to make up for the steamed buns and tuition fees we were given."

Father Niu still covets Erniu's final value.

Qin Zhiya laughed out of anger.

"My money is only for Erniu's education. If she drops out of school, I won't give you a penny."

"How can you be so stubborn? You have to spend so much money on her education. If she doesn't want to continue, just give the money to us and we can just treat her as if she is still in school."

Mr. Niu's remarks showed ignorance and shamelessness to the extreme.

Xi Feng rolled his eyes.

The person needs to be taken away, the steamed buns need to be eaten, and the money needs to be cashed out.

He sells his daughter for three times the price. Is he making a profit here?

"Forcing women and children into marriage against their will is illegal. If you dare to do this, I will take you all away immediately and turn your happy event into a prison. Do you believe it?"

From the very beginning, there was no room for negotiation between the two sides, and neither side was willing to give in.

When Niu's mother suddenly heard Xi Feng putting such pressure on her, she sat down on the ground.

She cried and begged, "I just took my own daughter away, why do I have to go to jail? Do you have any sense of justice?"

"She crawled out of my belly, how can it be illegal for me to let her get married?!"

"You guys are just bullying our honest family. That little bastard is hiding because he wants to make sure her brother can't get married."

"The Niu family is extinct because of you bastards!"

The cow's mother became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally she just rolled on the ground and refused to listen no matter who came to her.

"Give me back my daughter, give me back my daughter!"

The head of Xiagou Village also took the opportunity to speak:

"Comrade Qin, I know your foundation is doing charity, but the parents don't want to send their children to school, so you can't force them to do that."

"She doesn't want to go."

"What does Erniu know? You said she's only fourteen, a little brat. How could she understand the benefits of getting married? After all, they are parents. They won't harm their children, right?"

Qin Zhiya was furious when she heard him confuse right and wrong.

Seeing that she couldn't refute, Niu Shaoqiang's eyes lit up.

"That's right, my sister is a minor, so she doesn't have the final say!"

"Whether she goes to school or not is up to my parents, and now we won't let her go!"

As he said that, he ran towards the bungalow, as if he had X-ray vision and could see where Erniu was.

The scene immediately became chaotic. Director Zhu ordered people to stop Niu Shaoqiang. He also imitated Niu's mother and started to throw a tantrum, wailing:

"The police beat people!"

"Village chief, the police are beating people!"

The young policeman was helpless and could only guard the door to prevent Niu Shaoqiang from getting close.

Erniu inside the door had already been trembling in the corner with her head in her hands, while Tao Man was staring at the door with gritted teeth, as if he could see that vicious family.

The head of Xiagou Village took the opportunity to whisper to Director Zhu:

"Chief, marrying a wife is a natural thing. If you don't marry, how can you have children? How can our village develop?"

"Besides, the Liu family is not bad either. If we let them go, they will naturally not treat them unfairly..."

"I see."

Director Zhu nodded with a smile on his face. The village chief looked happy, thinking that he had succeeded, but then he saw Director Zhu's face turn stern.

"How dare you openly bribe a public official."

"What bribe?" The village chief was terrified. "I didn't mean that. You misunderstood me, Chief."

"I don't want to hear your explanation. Let's go to the Discipline Inspection Department together to explain."

Director Zhu held the village chief's vitals, and he didn't dare to speak for the Niu family anymore.

Qin Zhiya also said: "I want to take Erniu to the city."

Even if you make harsh remarks, there is no guarantee that they won't come back to cause trouble a second or third time. The safest way is to keep them by your side.

Director Zhu felt something was wrong and frowned slightly.

Upon hearing this, the Niu family members cursed even more angrily, and Niu's mother punched her chest directly.

"What a bullshit study! They're just trying to steal my daughter away!"

"If you don't return my daughter to me, I will not live!"

"Hold her down." Xi Feng said, unable to bear it any longer. "There's no way you can bring Erniu back. No matter who dies, it won't help!"

In comparison, Xi Feng's rank is higher than Director Zhu's.

A higher-ranking official can crush a person to death.

Once he spoke, everyone present had no choice but to cooperate.
