"As far as I know, most girls here get married at the age of 14 or 15," Shen Wenzhong said slowly, "According to our country's laws, people are considered adults at the age of 18, and girls are not considered to be of legal marriage age until they are 20.

The legal age of sexual consent is 14 years old or older. If someone is under 14 years old, it is considered rape regardless of consent or not, and the offender is subject to a fixed-term imprisonment of 3 to 10 years. If the offender is also abused or beaten, the circumstances are considered serious and the offender will be severely punished.

Everyone took a deep breath and looked at each other before muttering to each other.

Everyone knows that although they say they are fourteen or fifteen years old, most of them are actually under fourteen.

It wouldn't be a big deal if those girls didn't have anyone to back them up, but if they did have someone to back them up, things would be really difficult.

Just like the family at the east end of the village, the man wanted to marry off his eight-year-old daughter, but the woman stabbed the man with a knife.

They also said that because the man was at fault first, the woman was not made to pay with her life and was only sentenced to four years.

For a moment, I felt a little sad.

Shen Yue clapped her hands happily.

[Grandpa is so awesome. Just looking at the expressions of these people, I know they have something to hide. In my opinion, we should stop wasting time talking to them and just call the police to have them all arrested.

If they cannot be educated on conscience, they will be educated in prison. 】

There was silence for a while.

Shen Wenzhong continued: "Let me popularize the Law on the Protection of Minors for you. Minors have the right to receive nine years of compulsory education. Depriving them of this right is a crime.

besides……"

"Don't talk to me about legality or not," the old man interrupted Shen Wenzhong, "The child is ours, so we can't make the decision?

I really don't understand. We all went through this, so why does it not work for their generation?

Forget it, we won’t argue with you anymore. You are right and you are right.

It's not impossible to let them go to school, but they have to stay with us, at most in our town. They can't go to the city because we don't feel comfortable if they are too far away.

If you really want to help, just transfer the tuition and living expenses to us on time, and you don’t have to worry about anything else.”

[Wow! The abacus beads are about to jump onto my face. This is really the moral floor of mankind. ]

The lawyer, who didn't hear the sound of the abacus, thought about it seriously and even felt that it was feasible. "You are right. We didn't think it through. You would be worried if the child was too far away, especially if it was a girl."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, the grandfather and grandson sneered at the same time.

[It seems that the lawyer brother has seen less of the moral floor of mankind. 】

Shen Wenzhong directly exposed their calculations, "I'll give you money and let you use it on the boys at home. Am I right?"

After hearing this, the lawyer looked at everyone's expressions.

It’s true!

The lawyer clenched his fists in anger, "You are really hopeless."

Shen Wenzhong didn't want to waste time talking to them. "When I came here, I had already obtained the list of girls in the village. No matter their age, whether they are married or have children, as long as they want to study, they can go. The tuition and living expenses will be paid by the foundation.

If you don't want to, I'll call the police.

Don't tell me that this is your custom and that the police can't do anything about it. As long as this is within Country Z, the laws of Country Z apply.

The police here can't do anything about it, I'll ask the police above me, and I'll definitely make sure you get what you want and go to jail."

"You..." The old man was so angry that he couldn't breathe, "Are you robbers?"

"Go!" Shen Wenzhong turned sideways and said to the bodyguard behind him, "Call all the women in the village over."

There were more than 200 households in the village, and it took 40 minutes to gather them all.

Women usually carry one person on their backs, hold another in their arms, and have one or two people following behind them, timidly pulling at the corners of their clothes.

Most of the clothes don’t fit well, they are either too big or too small, and some are even patched up.

The face is also either chapped or dirty, and except for the teeth, nothing else is white.

Perhaps because they had never seen outsiders before, their eyes were timid and evasive.

After the lawyer explained the situation to everyone, several women raised their hands and agreed without even thinking.

"We are willing, but..." The woman lowered her head and rubbed her daughter who buried her face in her waist because of shyness, "We are already like this, do you think this is okay? You take us to the city, let our children go to school, and we work.

We only need your help with the tuition fees, and we can take care of the living expenses ourselves."

"Yes! Although we can't read a few words, we are strong and can work. We can do anything."

“Our lives are ruined and we can’t let our children end up like us, especially our daughter.

When I was 14 or 15, I was forced by my family to get married, and then I lived the same life as we are living now. It was too hard.”

"It's too hard. Even though I'm pregnant, we're the only ones doing the housework. Whenever they're in a bad mood, they take it out on us by beating us up. Look at us..."

As they spoke, the women rolled up their sleeves. Their arms were covered in bruises, purples and reds, but there was no white skin.

It was so heartbreaking to watch.

"We know that reading is useful, just like Feng Ting from the east end of the village, who stabbed her husband to death with a knife to prevent him from selling her eight-year-old daughter.

We thought she would be sentenced to death, but we didn't expect she would only be sentenced to four years.

Her story tells us that education is useful. Only educated people know how to resist, unlike me, who had to watch my ten-year-old daughter being married off like an animal.

Damn it!

"Yes! We want to go to school, but what about our children? We can't leave our children here, especially our daughter. If she stays here, she will end up like us now."

The lawyer was dumbfounded. Before coming, he only considered their schooling issues and never considered that they were different from girls in the city. They got married and had children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. He couldn't just let them abandon their children!

Shen Wenzhong pondered for a moment and said, "Take the people you want to take with you to school together. The foundation happens to be an abandoned primary school, so there is plenty of space. You can stay in the foundation first.

The school will make arrangements for you. If you are not old enough to go to primary school, we will arrange for you to go to kindergarten or daycare.

The living expenses will be paid by the foundation, and you can take turns cooking and such, or we can set up a kitchen like in school.

If you don't want to go to school, you can also learn skills. After you have learned enough, you can be arranged to work in Shen's company.

For those who have particularly outstanding achievements, the foundation will give additional bonuses.”

After hearing this, the women couldn't believe it at first. After a while, they confirmed that they had heard it truthfully, and then they excitedly held each other's hands and jumped up and down.

"That's great. I can finally get away from this damn place. It's really great."

"Yeah! That's great. Finally I don't have to get beaten."

…

Just when I was happy, a man came out and poured cold water on me.
