When hearing the tragic experience of the woman who was abducted by human traffickers, everyone present could not help but be moved and sighed and lamented.
When talking about how the old lady pretended to be kicked by the woman with the child and stopped the human traffickers from leaving, everyone admired the old lady's courage and wisdom even more.
Wang Liming was even more generous in expressing her praise:
"That old woman is truly both wise and courageous! I wonder how she came up with such a brilliant idea."
Zhang Erxiu admires the woman who dared to fight:
"The woman holding the child is equally admirable. If it were me, I'd probably be terrified just by the fear alone. How could I have the courage to run? Not to mention having to find the right opportunity to escape successfully."
Qin Wan thought to himself:
No matter what era we live in, there will always be some smart and wise people who stand out. As the saying goes, "Masters are among the people", this statement is indeed true.
The mother-in-law who pretended to faint and the daughter-in-law who had a tacit understanding with her were undoubtedly the best among the common people.
However, for some unknown reason, Qin Wan always had a slightly unusual feeling in the deepest part of his heart.
How could a bandit village that had previously been so low-key and cautious suddenly become so arrogant and unruly? Were they operating so openly and on such a large scale, trying to hide some secret that no one else could know?
Qin Wan's heart was full of doubts and confusions, but at this moment, she didn't know how to open her mouth to express these questions, and she didn't even know who to talk to about her thoughts.
Oh, it's really frustrating! How nice it would be if Lu Yu could be with me!
Qin Wan missed Lu Yu.
If he were by my side, he would definitely understand my thoughts.
When we returned to the educated youth site, the educated youth on duty had already prepared the meal.
After everyone finished their meal, Qin Wan and the others followed the old educated youth back to the room where the female educated youth lived.
While no one else was paying attention, Qin Wan quietly used the package as a cover, quickly took out half a pound of fruit candies from the space, and put them into the cross-body bag he was carrying.
Then, she turned her head and looked at Shen Shuping, who was concentrating on the book in her hands, and asked:
"Sister Shuping, I have something I'd like to ask you. If I want to rent a house in our village, how much would it cost?"
Hearing this, Shen Shuping, who was originally immersed in the world of books, raised her head slightly, thought for a moment and replied:
"If I just rent a room by myself, it would probably cost about two dollars a month. Xiao Qin, why did you suddenly ask this?"
Qin Wan took a deep breath and said firmly:
"I'm planning to move out and live on my own."
Her words were like a thunderclap, and everyone present was stunned for a moment. Wang Liming, who was the first to come to her senses, asked in astonishment:
"Wanwan, did I hear you wrong? You actually said you wanted to move out?"
Facing everyone's surprised looks, Qin Wan nodded vigorously to express his affirmation:
"Yes, you heard me right. I have decided to move out and live on my own.
I'm sure you've all seen that Chen Yongming is not a law-abiding person. This time he used such sinister and cunning means to discredit my reputation. I'm not sure if he will come up with other bad ideas to harm others in the future.
Now that we live under the same roof, I'm really worried that if something goes wrong one day, it will affect all of you."
Zhou Dongmei quickly interjected, "Oh, we're not afraid!"
Zhang Erxiu, who was standing by, also echoed, "That's right!"
Wang Liming, who was of a generous character, patted her chest and promised confidently:
"Hmph, no matter what tricks he plays, we will fight him head-on and block the water. There is no need to be afraid of him at all!"
But the old educated youth did not speak.
They also wanted to protect Qin Wan, but they had been in the countryside for a long time and knew that in many things, you couldn't be invincible just because you were not afraid or were right.
Especially in this remote and backward place, family interests and the interests of villagers often override justice and ethics. They are all outsiders, how can they fight against the locals?
Compared to being blamed in the future, moving away from the educated youth site is indeed the best choice for Qin Wan.
If Qin Wan doesn't want to move, they naturally won't force her. If she wants to move, they won't try to keep her.
Qin Wan understood them.
Although they were all very kind, they were reluctant to put themselves in danger for an educated youth whom they had just met a few days ago. They were not yet able to be so selfless.
If she really harmed these lovely educated youth because of herself, she would feel guilty and uneasy.
It would be better to move out directly, keep the educated youth away from the battlefield, and it would be more convenient for us to do things.
It can be said that moving out of the educated youth site is a win-win choice.
Qin Wan smiled and said, "Even if I move out, I'll still live in the village. It's not far from the educated youth center, so I can come whenever I miss you. We can still live together."
Wang Liming and the others also knew that Qin Wan did this for their own good. They didn't know what would happen in the future, so it was difficult for them to persuade him too much.
Shen Shuping told Qin Wan everything she knew, and the other old educated youth also tried their best to tell him what they knew in detail.
They were not able to help Qin Wan fight against Chen Yongming, they could only give Qin Wan some help in other aspects.
After Qin Wan inquired about the rental situation, he went to Shi's house to find the team leader.
Captain Shi was having dinner at home. He was surprised to see Qin Wan walk in.
"Qin Zhiqing, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Qin Wan took out the candy from her cross-body bag and handed it to an old lady sitting on the chair next to her.
She was petite, yet possessed a shrewd aura. Her wrinkled face was most strikingly characterized by her triangular eyes, which revealed a shrewd and calculating expression. Her gaze was sharp, as if it could see through everything, and it was chilling.
She was wearing a dark dress, old-fashioned, but neat and clean. Her hair was combed meticulously, close to her scalp, without a single strand out of place.
Her lips were tightly closed, with the corners of her mouth slightly drooping, giving her a serious look.
The old lady glanced at Qin Wan, lowered her eyes slightly, took the candy, stood up, and walked into the inner room without saying a word, leaving the space to Qin Wan and the team leader.
Seeing this, Qin Wan couldn't help but frown. Why did the old lady go into the inner room? Wasn't she afraid that her grandson was staying in the same room with a group of educated youth, and that someone with ulterior motives would find out and make up a crime for him?
Shi Yongfeng felt bitter when he saw his grandmother like this. He would never know what his grandmother was trying to do.
