Li Chunlan and three others were quickly taken away. Before leaving, Officer Pei did not forget to give everyone some instructions.
"Both men and women must obtain their consent before they can get married. If someone does what Li Chunlan and others do, it is a crime. Don't do it. Also, if you see or discover such a situation in the future, don't act alone. Call the police as soon as possible and we will deal with it."
Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Officer Pei. We are all good people. We can't do such cruel things as Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun. Moreover, with Xiaozhu's help, our family's financial situation is getting better and better. There is no need to make money against our conscience."

"Yes, yes, Officer Pei, you can rest assured. They are the only cruel family in the area. We will all obey the law and help keep an eye on them. We will never let this happen again."
"Only they would be willing to do such immoral things. We would never dare to do that."
They didn't understand the law about Shen Aiqiu marrying Wang Yufu from the next village, but they felt it was inappropriate.
They were really shocked to find out that there were no parents who would sell their own children for money.
Officer Pei nodded and said that he knew the character of the people around him best and they would not really break the law.
"I feel relieved after hearing what the villagers said. Comrade Shen Aiqiu, you can go in and change your clothes first, and then go with us. The weather is so cold now, don't catch a cold."
Officer Pei saw that Shen Ai Qiu was not wearing much and was worried that she would catch a cold. He also felt that her current clothes were not suitable for walking outside and being seen by others.
"Thank you, Officer Pei, for your understanding."
After thanking Officer Pei, Shen Ai Qiu went back to her room. She needed some time to sort out her emotions as today was a huge blow to her.
Shen Zhizhu thought about it and did not follow in. She had helped to this extent, which was already her best. In fact, the other party did not deserve her help in the first place.
Mrs. Wang followed Shen Ai Qiu's eyes all the time until the other person went into the house and disappeared from sight, then she withdrew her gaze.
Moved in front of Shen Zhizhu.
"Xiao Zhu, you are amazing. Just by listening to a few gossips from my friends, you knew that their family was involved in illegal activities. You are amazing."
Aunt Li also came over and added in a low voice.
"That's right. The key point is that Shen Aiqiu and her family are always at loggerheads, doing things that are not worthy of being mentioned in public, and they always make things difficult for you. It's really rare that you can help her."
They didn't know how Shen Zhizhu spoke in the next village, but they came to Li Chunlan's house early in the morning and talked to Li Chunlan, trying to get information out of her in some way, both overtly and covertly.
None of them succeeded. Even if the police comrades came, it was useless. As soon as Shen Zhizhu came, the other party was provoked and said it out.
"It's because Shen Aiqiu didn't help keep it a secret, otherwise it wouldn't have been so smooth. Their whole family depends on Shen Aiqiu for help. Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun are afraid that Shen Aiqiu will get into college and move to a more prosperous place and won't care about them anymore. It would be better to sell them directly for money, so that they can have real money in their hands and feel at ease."
Mrs. Wang sneered.
"Now, they are disappointed. They are no longer on their side. Li Chunlan is really something. How could she find such a troublesome old man, and a scoundrel at that."
"I think Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun are crazy about money. Their son is in prison, and the only one they can rely on is their daughter. Shen Aiqiu is also a competitive and ambitious person who is willing to learn. If she really has a bright future, will she really forget about them?"
"One wrong step leads to another. Their selfish behavior has ruined their good children."
Shen Zhizhu didn't care what Li Chunlan and Shen Jianjun thought, nor did he care whether they really didn't care about Shen Aiqiu.
She only knew that they were asking for trouble. Today, she had sent all three of them who had bullied her to jail. It was also a way for her to vent her anger for her past life.
After a while, Shen Ai Qiu came out. People with sharp eyes noticed that she had touched up her makeup, the red marks from the slap on her face were no longer visible, and her hair was combed again.
It looks like nothing happened.
When she passed by Shen Zhizhu, she stopped and whispered to him.
"I know you're not helping me sincerely, and I don't need you to pretend to be nice to me. But today, I'm sorry for what happened to you. It's no use trying to please me. My whole family is in jail because of you. We can't be good sisters, and it's even more impossible for us to pretend that there's nothing wrong with us."
She looked at the eyes of the people around her, and cried with familiarity in her eyes, her voice getting louder.
"Thank you, sister, for calling the police today. I was originally planning to wait for the other party to relax their vigilance and then quietly escape. This way, I wouldn't take up anyone's time."
[It's already this late, and Shen Aiqiu is still pretending. She really doesn't feel tired. This family really values ββtheir reputation more than their own lives. ]
Shen Zhizhu kept rolling her eyes in her heart and did not look happy on her face. She spoke in an impatient tone.
"You are blaming me for making a big deal out of this and letting everyone know that Wang Yufu raped you, right?"
Sure enough, Shen Ai Qiu's face drooped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Shen Zhizhu felt that Shen Jianjun and Li Chunlan should not use the word "ungrateful" to describe her, but should use it to describe Shen Aiqiu.
"How long do you think you can keep the fact that you married into Wang Yufu's family a secret? You got married in the morning, and by the evening at the latest, the whole village would know about it. You still want to keep it a secret. What a naive idea."
"If I hadn't called the police, you would still be tied to the foot of the bed by Wang Yufu like a dog. How could you escape with your tiny arms and legs?"
"Even if you came back, your parents could have knocked you out once and sent you there, but couldn't they have sent you there a second time? Do you think Wang Yufu, who has a limp himself, would have thought of breaking your legs when he saw you running and jumping?"
"Now you blame me for calling the police. So many people came, and so many villagers saw the marks on your body? Please, sister, no one here is a fool. No one can guess what will happen if you get married. You are the biggest ungrateful person. I shouldn't have rescued you so quickly. I should have let you suffer a lot before calling the police."
Shen Zhizhu started talking, and his speech was not very fast, but it was seamlessly connected. Shen Aiqiu wanted to open her mouth to interrupt several times, but never found a chance.
Logically speaking, Shen Ai Qiu's current situation is most likely to arouse everyone's sympathy, and she really wants to take this opportunity to gain everyone's favor.
