After five or six years of preparation, the women's college was opened with the intention of helping these girls. However, now they have become another kind of blood-sucking parasite. This is definitely not their original intention in opening the women's college, so this matter must be thoroughly investigated to see whether this situation still exists in the college.
"Yiwan, leave this to me," Qin Qiuyue said. She had indeed discovered this situation at the academy, but it disappeared soon after summer, so she didn't continue her investigation.
Unexpectedly, these people would come back as soon as the weather cooled, probably because they couldn't stay away from the summer heat. She knew firsthand how difficult it was to escape from one's family of origin. She seemed to see a reflection of her past self in these girls. So she had already begun investigating how many such cases existed in the academy.
Qin Xiaocao wasn't the first one. She had almost finished her investigation and was about to organize the information to tell Ji Yiwan about it.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. Just ask if you need people or things." Ji Yiwan knew that some things were innate, and if you were not good at them, you were not good at them. Even though she now had Ji Yiwan's memories and had been the wife of the county magistrate for several years, the fact that she was able to open this women's college was the result of the family's brainstorming and the guidance of the elf master.
It wasn't easy to change the mindset of someone who had lived in mediocrity for decades before crossing over. She had indeed never noticed anything like this happening at the academy, and that was partly due to her own self-righteousness. After all, as the wife of a county magistrate, the common people would have held her in awe.
"Yes." Qin Qiuyue took the mother and daughter to the medical room.
Qin Xiaocao looked at the new and old wounds on her mother's body and couldn't stop crying. Since she went to college, she has been very happy and has been working hard, hoping to finish her studies as soon as possible and take her mother away from that home.
At first, things were fine. Later, when he learned that the college offered better treatment, the man and his brother would wait behind the college every day for her food rations. If she didn't give them, he would beat her mother and not allow her to visit. Later, in the summer, the food couldn't be stored properly, and when they came to her house, they could only eat rotten food. It was quiet for a few months. Now, as soon as the weather turned cooler, it started again. She hadn't seen her mother for a long time. This time, she said that if she couldn't see her mother again, she wouldn't give her anything.
They brought her mother with them. Ever since she started college, her mother had told her not to come home. She didn't want to care, but this was her mother, who had gone through hunger and hardship to protect her. She was able to go to college because her mother had been beaten half to death.
Qin Qiuyue asked the mother and daughter about their specific situations and then left the space to them.
"Mom." Qin Xiaocao couldn't stop crying.
"Don't cry, mother doesn't feel any pain." Qin Xiaocao held the withered, dry, wrinkled and calloused hand and felt only warmth.
Qin Xiaocao wasn't alone; she had a mother who didn't resist but protected her, a fact many of the younger sisters envied. The academy only accepted a hundred students in its first year, and 58 of them were being exploited by their families. Qin Xiaocao wasn't the worst offender.
The most terrifying thing is that these students still stubbornly refuse to repent and don't feel like they're being exploited. Instead, they're gloating about how they can benefit their families. This is all about taking advantage of the college. All they think about is these rich people, the real fools with lots of money.
Qin Qiuyue counted all the students and conducted ideological work on them one by one. After a month of observation, they ultimately had no choice but to expel eight students. Some people are simply beyond redemption. For those who are stubborn and want to morally blackmail the college with their families, they can only put aside their desire to help others and respect their fate.
Ji Yiwan also found out about Qin Xiaocao's three sisters. The eldest sister was sold to a dark house and died of illness two years ago. The second sister was taken to the capital by a trafficker and now works as a maid in the mansion of Duke Wu. The third sister was taken away by a troupe of opera singers. After asking their opinions, Qin Xiaotao had already returned.
Wang Cuihua and Qin Erniu divorced, establishing a daughter's household. Qin Xiaotao, only thirteen years old, made an exception and enrolled in the academy, while Wang Cuihua became a housekeeper. All three of them were very motivated. Qin Xiaoyu's treatment at the Duke's mansion was decent; the Duke's mansion was a kind family. Now a third-class maid in the eldest daughter's courtyard, Qin Xiaoyu hadn't redeemed herself. She was overjoyed to hear her mother and sisters had escaped their misery, and she sent someone to bring her the monthly salary she had saved.
Now that we have kept in touch with each other and know that each other has a better future, we feel much more relaxed and have hope and expectations in life.
"Master, Madam, the eldest and second young masters are back." Time passed slowly, everything settled, and the new year was about to begin. The academy was closed on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and school would resume on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Seeing the servant run in excitedly, the whole family happily put down their work and went out to greet the returning wanderers.
"Big brother, second brother." Gu Pan and Gu Hele ran the fastest because they were looking forward to the gifts.
"Hey, run slower. You are all grown up kids. Be more steady and learn from Cancan, okay?" Gu Hean walked forward and wanted to pick up Gu Can.
"Brother, I'm a grown-up kid too. You can't hold me anymore." Gu Can quickly ran away.
"Okay, okay, it's big brother's fault." Gu Hean patted Gu Can's head, still feeling a little regretful. His sister was so cute when she was little.
