Although he remained calm on the surface, County Magistrate Xie's eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions when discussing this topic: helplessness and regret.

"Xiao Su, after seeing what happened just now, I feel mixed emotions..."

He spoke slowly, his tone mingled with heaviness.

Then he sighed deeply.

You have to know that the economic foundation of this region is relatively weak. If it were not for the pressure of life, perhaps even girls from families with serious patriarchal ideas would at least be allowed to complete basic education for the sake of face.

"Xie, County Magistrate, I have a suggestion. How about our company set up a student aid program?"

Su Yuan put forward her ideas carefully, fearing to disturb the other person's thoughts.

She knows that such a plan can not only help more people, but also bring a good social image to the company.

Su Yuan reacted quickly and realized that she had planned this idea a long time ago.

After all, having experienced her own days of being helpless, she knows how important it is to have a helping hand in difficult times.

As the saying goes, “If you have the ability, you should help more people!”

This is a concept she has always believed in and she has always hoped to have the opportunity to put it into practice.

After seeing that the two had reached a consensus, Yang Sheng stood in front of the middle-aged woman and used his strong and broad body to block the view of Su Yuan behind him.

The purpose of doing this is not only to protect Su Yuan from harm, but also to give the other party a certain deterrent effect so that she will not take extreme actions.

The woman was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting anyone else to intervene.

Immediately, a ferocious expression appeared on her face, and she demanded in a shrill voice, "Who are you? Get out of my way!"

At the same time, a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes, and she immediately began to pretend to cry and scream, trying to arouse the sympathy of the onlookers.

"You stupid girl, you actually found an accomplice to come to my house. I think you don't want to go to school at all, you want to elope!"

This sentence is obviously an excuse deliberately made up by the middle-aged woman, trying to confuse the public and divert the conflict.

She obviously believes that in the current situation, it is more beneficial to herself to take advantage of people's curiosity and gossip.

Faced with such unreasonable accusations from her mother, the girl's face suddenly turned red.

She bit her lip, glared at him angrily, and retorted, "That's enough! You must be held accountable if you wrongly accuse someone!"

The voice was small but firm and powerful, revealing an attitude of not giving up.

However, the middle-aged woman didn't seem to be willing to give up. She said nonchalantly, "How can this be considered a lie? Tell me, is it normal for a grown man to come and help for no reason?"

Her words were full of provocation, as if to imply that all this was a premeditated arrangement.

For a moment, the villagers who were watching this scene began to whisper.

"What Guangzong's mother said seems to make sense. If there is no special reason, why would a stranger help Ling'er for no reason?"

Although this sentence is understated, the meaning it contains is very intriguing.

Listening to the discussions coming from all around, Xie Ling'er knew very well that these people didn't care at all about the truth.

They only care about whether the story they can see is attractive enough.

Therefore, Xie Ling'er decided not to waste time explaining anything, but turned around and urged Yang Sheng to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"You better leave now. If you don't get away now, you might end up getting screwed by this shameless person."

She said anxiously, her tone full of concern for her friend.

When Yang Sheng heard this, he was stunned at first, then shook his head.

His eyes were filled with unwavering determination, as if telling everyone: He would not easily give up on anyone in trouble.

But before he could say anything to comfort her, Xie Ling'er eagerly tried to persuade him again: "Why are you still standing there? You can't reason with these people!"

"Little sister, don't be afraid," Yang Sheng said slowly, his tone calm and warm, "We are sincerely here to help you solve your difficulties."

Every word he said was filled with sincerity and determination, as if it could penetrate all obstacles in the air and reach Xie Ling'er's heart.

Seeing that Yang Sheng didn't know how to respond for a moment and seemed a little embarrassed, Su Yuan immediately stepped forward to stabilize the situation and tried to make Xie Ling'er relax.

She smiled softly, and her voice soothed the atmosphere around her, making people feel inexplicably at ease.

Following the voice, I saw a neatly dressed lady with a gentle smile.

Her clothes are simple yet stylish, and her hair is cleverly tied up, revealing the competence and composure unique to women in the workplace, which makes people unconsciously respect and like her.

Ling'er instinctively wanted to hide her dirty hands behind her back, because she knew that she had just escaped from a dangerous situation and there were inevitably some traces of uncleanness on her body. She was worried that the other party would be disgusted with her.

She quickly hid her hands behind her back, fearing that the other party would find out.

After seeing her little action, Su Yuan immediately understood the situation and nodded slightly to Yang Sheng.

After receiving the signal, Yang Sheng did not hesitate too much. He lightly tapped the wrist of the middle-aged woman who was standing there in panic, and then slowly walked out with Xie Ling'er, who was still in an extremely uneasy state. His movements were extremely gentle and meticulous throughout the whole process.

"It's safe now. Please wait here first."

Yang Sheng guided Xie Ling'er away from the crowded places, allowing her to stay away from the noisy environment and find a relatively quiet place to rest for a while.

At the same time, he tried to ease the other person's inner tension with words that were as calm and comforting as possible.

Xie Ling'er stared at Su Yuan like a frightened deer, her eyes full of vigilance but also a hint of expectation.

Although she couldn't completely trust anyone at this moment, she was secretly grateful for the appearance of this strange woman.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her breathing rate, and then said, "Sister, my name is Xie Ling'er."

In order to ensure that her name could be understood and conveyed accurately, she deliberately spoke each word very carefully and slowly, and repeated the pronunciation of her name.

After all, in her past experiences, most of the time people would mispronounce her name and look at her with strange or even contemptuous eyes.

Su Yuan thought about the name carefully and replied with a smile: "Oh, Ling'er, it's a very nice name."

Then he changed the subject, "By the way, sister, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Su Yuan."

Among the crowd watching not far away, the woman who had been temporarily frozen in fear gradually recovered.

As time passed, her expression finally became less panicked. She just watched everything quietly. Perhaps she had begun to slowly accept the reality in her heart.
