There are many women in Shangyang Village who seem to be very shy. When they meet Yi Jie's eyes, they avoid her gaze. In the end, they either concentrate on the work in their hands or go straight into the house.

Yi Jie felt a hard time describing the feelings in her heart. She felt uncomfortable. In her eyes, these women were like persecuted people, without freedom and suffocated. She didn't understand why they chose to marry in, unless they were forced.

"We're here, Xiaojie, what are you looking at?" Uncle Jianguo waved his hand in front of Yijie.

Yi Jie withdrew her gaze from the village and asked Uncle Jianguo.

"Have we arrived at school?" she asked, looking at the flat in front of her which was much more luxurious than other houses in the village.

"No, this is the home of the Shangyang Village chief and the college student. We have to report to him before entering the school." Uncle Jianguo nodded inside.

Yi Jie couldn't help but complain, what kind of feudal autocratic thinking is this, a village chief thinks he is the boss and is in charge of everything, it's also quite funny, those who don't know would think he is a local emperor.

After knocking on the door, a petite girl who looked not much older than Yi Jie opened the door. She lowered her head, and Yi Jie couldn't see what she looked like, but she felt strangely familiar.

"Li Yang's wife, is Li Yang at home?" Uncle Jianguo asked with a shy smile.

Yi Jie was shocked by Uncle Jianguo's words. Li Yang's wife? Are you sure? Is this girl an adult? She thought she was the daughter of the head of Shangyang Village!

Hiding her surprise, Yi Jie quickly calmed down, thinking that perhaps the village chief was not too old. In poor areas, it was common for girls to marry early, which was different from in the city, so she didn't want to comment too much.

"Yes." The girl's voice was clear and pleasant, leading the two into the inner room.

Yi Jie was doing her homework in her mind, but all the suggestive thoughts disappeared in an instant when she saw the village chief of Shangyang Village.

This was a middle-aged man in his forties, whose appearance could be described as ugly. The turbid light in his eyes made Yi Jie immediately confirm that he was not a good person.

Why? Would such a pretty girl be willing to marry such an old man?

As her suspicions grew, Yi Jie's intuition, inspired by her many dangerous experiences, told her that she should take some action.

Turn the watch to automatically turn on the video transmission mode. Now the images recorded by the watch will be synchronously transmitted to the computer port of the Eagle Team.

Jiang Ting, who was originally idle and playing with his teammates on grass roots, noticed that there was a picture on the computer screen. He said in surprise.

"The boss has sent a video! Come and see it."

All members of the Eagle Squad stationed near Qianjia Village gathered in front of the screen.

"This man is so ugly that I am about to vomit my last meal. Why is the boss taking a photo of him?" Hu Zheng commented with a frown.

"It's probably not a good thing. Xiao Jie must have discovered something wrong." As the deputy captain, He Chengan made the conclusion immediately.

Yi Jie was still being attacked. The man named Li Yang had looked at Yi Jie with extremely disgusting eyes no less than ten times in the past few minutes, and he did it openly without any hesitation.

Uncle Jianguo felt something, and he stood in front of Yi Jie and said to him, "Brother Liyang, we are here to visit the school and learn about the teaching of Shangyang Village Primary School. I gave you the news this morning. Is it convenient now?"

"Did you bring the things?" Li Yang didn't even look away, his gaze seemed to penetrate Uncle Jianguo's body and projected onto Yi Jie.

"Here, please keep it." Uncle Jianguo took out a stack of change from his arms, counted it, and handed it to the other party.

"Three hundred yuan, each household pooled together, it's a bit scattered, you're right."

Only then did Yi Jie realize that one had to pay to visit a rural primary school. What a bullshit.

She wanted to pull Uncle Jianguo away and not tolerate this kind of anger, but she saw Uncle Jianguo giving her a look that told her to stay calm. She could only suppress her anger and lower her head to look at the shoes.

"This is the college student you mentioned who came to record the show, right? Which university is he from? Are all the female students in your school as pretty as you?" The voice that came out of Li Yang's dry throat was extremely unpleasant, and coupled with such frivolous words, it made Yi Jie feel nauseous.

Yi Jie walked out from behind Uncle Jianguo with a smile, and looked at the short and wretched man with a contemptuous look.

"There's nothing much to say. I accidentally got admitted to Tsinghua University as the provincial champion. I wonder which university you attended, village chief? I'd like to know more about you and see what kind of school can produce such a talent as the village chief."

Li Yang's pupils dilated. Tsinghua University! This is the highest institution of learning! How can a woman this young have such ability! Not hearing the sarcasm in Yi Jie's words, he was extremely indignant and said with an embarrassed look.

"I am just an ordinary university, there is nothing much to say. You can go to the school to watch after you pay the money. Finish the watch early and go back early, so as not to disturb the teacher's rest."

Uncle Jianguo didn't want to stay any longer, so he bowed, thanked her, and pulled Yi Jie out of the room.

Li Yang looked at Yi Jie's back with deep eyes. As a top student of Tsinghua University, how high must her IQ be? If the baby in her belly is a genius, then it must be a genius! It's a pity that she is a big shot who came to record the show. She can't be touched, otherwise she must be captured.

With something on my mind, I walked to the school with Uncle Jianguo. It was just an ordinary flat, and its decoration was far inferior to the house of the village chief of Shangyang Village.

"My eldest son's child is in the third grade right here and his grades are terrible. He always complains when he comes home that the teacher is not teaching well. I think it's because he is a naughty boy who doesn't listen in class. It makes me so angry. The only opportunity for him to study at home is useless." Uncle Jianguo's distressed expression was evident in his words.

"Maybe uncle, your grandson is right." Yi Jie said softly. Standing at the door of the classroom, she looked around and saw that it was in a mess, not like a class at all. The questions on the blackboard were the simplest addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the handwriting was extremely irregular. Yi Jie glanced at the class sign outside, it was fourth grade.

Normally speaking, the learning points in the fourth grade cannot be so simple. I just want to say that the teacher didn’t teach with all his heart. Yi Jie gave up most of her thoughts on studying here.

"Ah?" Uncle Jianguo didn't hear clearly what Yi Jie said.

"Nothing, uncle, please take me to find the teacher." Yi Jie wanted to see who was misleading the students here.

"That's it. Please go in. Teacher Gong doesn't like to see outsiders, especially men. I won't accompany you."

Another weird person. This Shangyang Village is poisonous. There are so many abnormal people.

Yi Jie walked to the office door full of complaints and saw a thin woman writing something at a desk. Her thin clothes outlined the shape of her shoulder blades. It was hard to imagine how thin her body was under the clothes.

After knocking on the door three times, the woman slowly turned around, her movements very slow.

Only then did Yi Jie realize that the woman had a lame leg, and her resentment in her heart subsided a lot.

After she saw the woman's face clearly, Yi Jie dropped the notebook in her hand to the ground. Gong Xue! Teacher Xun's ex-wife! She had seen the photo! Even though the woman's cheeks were sunken and her complexion was very bad, and she no longer looked as beautiful as in the photo, she was definitely not mistaken.

Yi Jie rushed over, held her hand, and excitedly called out "Master's Wife!"

The woman was frightened by Yi Jie's sudden action and struggled in fear.

Yi Jie also came out of her ecstasy. She felt that the environment she was in was not right. Why was the teacher's wife here? Where was Teacher Xun's child?

Yi Jie walked outside the door and looked around. Seeing no one else around, she closed the door gently, brought a small stool and sat down below Gong Xue.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Master's wife, my name is Yi Jie, and I am Teacher Xun's student. Do you remember Xun Ziqing?"

Gong Xue's eyes changed from fear at first to disbelief and finally emitted little starlight.

"Zi...Qing." Gong Xue's voice was hoarse, as if her vocal cords had suffered severe damage.

Yi Jie didn't care about all these for the moment. She held her skinny hand and nodded suddenly.

"Yes, it's Teacher Xun Ziqing. I'm his only student. I've seen your photo at his home, so I recognized you. He has been looking for you and Youyou for many years. Have you been here all these years? Madam, did you come here by yourself? Where is Sister Youyou? How did you get injured?" Yi Jie asked all the questions in her mind at once.

"No...no!" Gong Xue's face suddenly changed and she began to wave her hands excitedly, as if she remembered something horrible. Her pupils shrank sharply and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Yi Jie knew that Gong Xue must have been deeply hurt, which was why she acted this way. The things that she had been unwilling to confirm were finally settled in her heart. Yi Jie hugged Gong Xue, patted her back gently like coaxing a child, and spoke softly to comfort her.

"It's okay, it's okay. I will take you out, Master's wife. I will do my best to help you get back all the grievances you've suffered. Knowing that you're okay is the greatest comfort. I will take you out and reunite with the teacher."

Yi Jie's comfort was very effective, and the restless Gong Xue gradually calmed down in her arms.

Pulling herself away from Yi Jie's arms, Gong Xue stared at her without blinking, fearing that she was just a dream and would suddenly disappear.

"Master's wife, it's inconvenient for you to talk now, right? How about writing? Otherwise, write down what you want to say and show it to me." Yi Jie noticed that every time Gong Xue spoke, she would swallow saliva frantically, so it must be very difficult for her to speak.

Gong Xue smiled bitterly, stretched out her right hand, and lifted her sleeves to show Yi Jie.

The entire wrist was covered with fine and dense scars, some deep and some shallow, which was shocking to Yi Jie.

"You can't write with your right hand anymore? Are you writing with your left hand now?"

Gong Xue nodded and admitted it.

Yi Jie now understood why the handwriting on the blackboard was so sloppy, why the knowledge taught was so simple, and why Uncle Jianguo's grandson said it was the teacher's problem.

It’s not that Gong Xue didn’t want to teach, but that she was powerless.

Yi Jie looked up at the lesson plan on the desk, which was full of proof of Gong Xue's hard work in practicing calligraphy. Yi Jie's eyes were sore and she raised her head to stop the tears from falling. Gong Xue was very thoughtful, and she touched Yi Jie's black hair tenderly, smiled calmly, and told her not to be sad.

"Master's wife, let me ask you questions and you just nod or shake your head." Yi Jie controlled the dryness in her throat and spoke calmly.

Gong Xue nodded in agreement and held Yi Jie's hand a little tighter.

"Were you kidnapped here?"

Gong Xue nodded painfully.

"Was she kidnapped by a man named Li Yang?"

Gong Xue's eyes were filled with extreme hatred.

"He...is...a...devil!"

Yi Jie rubbed the stiff back of Gong Xue's hand to help her relax.

"Is Sister Youyou still alive?"

Gong Xue's tears burst out again, and the way she beat her chest and stamped her feet made Yi Jie feel as if she had swallowed ten pounds of bitter lotus seeds, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

"You... You is... at his house." Gong Xue's neck was red as she spoke this sentence with all her strength.

Yi Jie felt a chill on her forehead. Could it be... could it be that girl was Sister Youyou? The age matched, and the appearance? Yes, yes, no wonder she felt familiar. It turned out that she had the shadow of Teacher Xun.

Yi Jie was so angry at this moment that she wanted to cut the ugly beast into pieces. How dare he!

"Are there other women in the village like you?" Yi Jie asked this question with a stern face.

Gong Xue's face was pale. She stretched out her hand and made a big gesture, telling Yi Jie that there were a lot.

So that's how it is! She actually entered a village that trafficked women and children. No wonder everything was so weird.

Yi Jie wanted to ask more questions when there was a knock on the door.

"Xiao Jie, are you ready? Someone from the village is here to urge you." Uncle Jianguo shouted.

Gong Xue clenched Yi Jie's hand in fear. She had been looking forward to this day for twenty years. She had given up hope and was planning to go to the grave with pain and resentment. Unexpectedly, there is always a way out. Today, hope came to her. How could she bear to let it go?

"Come out right away." Yi Jie looked outside the door.

"Master's wife, please wait for me. I will rescue you within a week. Stay calm and don't let others see that something is wrong. I need to go back and make some arrangements. It will be quick, trust me." Yi Jie gently kissed Gong Xue on the forehead, allowing her to relax as much as possible.

Gong Xue confirmed again and again that Yi Jie would come back, slowly let go of her hand, and watched her walk out the door.

Yi Jie walked along the village road with Uncle Jianguo with a normal expression. No one noticed the excitement in Yi Jie's heart, and the two of them left the village smoothly.

"Gone? Nothing strange, right?" Li Yang glanced at the man who was reporting.

"No, everything is normal, Brother Yang, don't worry. That old woman Gong Xue has been trained by us a long time ago. She knows very well what to say and what not to say. Hasn't she been fine when she met other people over the years? Her precious daughter is in your hands, you dare not do anything." The man's words could not hide his contempt.

"That's right. I was just worried that outsiders might do something bad, so I asked a few more questions. Okay, go back now if you have nothing else to do. Stop bothering your wife. The villagers have said many times that they couldn't sleep well because of the noise you made."

"I know, I know. The new one is a little wild. I couldn't control myself when I was scolding him. You'll have to be more careful next time. The villagers are really nosy and meddlesome." The man looked annoyed.

"Get out of here. Don't blame the villagers for your own incompetence. How come others can surrender so smoothly?" Li Yang waved his hands impatiently.

"Brother Yang, the woman in front of me is very obedient. Okay, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. When it comes to scolding women, you are the best!" The man gave a thumbs up and ran away, fearing that he would be scolded.

Li Yang was like a rooster that had won a fight, shouting, "I'm tired, give me a back massage, you have no sense at all."

Xun Youyou came in obediently from outside and gave Li Yang a back massage.

Not long after, an older woman walked in with her head lowered and whispered.

"The meal is ready, you can eat now."

"Louder your voice! Are you talking to mosquitoes? You are still useless after all these years, and you are the same. You can't even give me a good back massage, and you are not as good as your mother in serving people. It seems that I have to find a new wife and divorce all of you. None of you are satisfactory."

The man's cursing words scared Xun Youyou and the other woman so much that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. In the village, people who were divorced would not have a good ending, and she didn't want that.

"Forget it, there is no one for now. You should behave yourself. When I find someone, I will demote you to a concubine like her, and you still have to serve me. Alas, it would be great if I could marry that female college student today. What a pity." Li Yang said with a lewd face.

The two dared not look up at him, as they had long been numb to such situations. Xun Youyou could only hide her envy of Yi Jie deep in her heart. It was great to be able to live such a sunny life, unlike her, who was stuck in the stinking mud with her mother and could not get out.
