Metaphysics Live Room: The host is the contract husband

"Brother Li asked me before why I was so disciplined in doing homework. Actually, it's because I don't have enough time to waste. I can only do homework when I'm at school because I have to make money and do housework when I get home."

"If I want to do my homework at home, I don't have time at all. But our teacher is very nice. She doesn't say anything when I can't finish my homework."

When Li Fumei thought of Teacher Chen, a light flashed in her eyes.

Li Wenhao was silent, not knowing what to say. This life was too hard. It would be difficult for adults to do this.

"Your teacher Chen is from your village."

"No, she was a college student who went to the countryside. Later, she married the village chief's stupid son. Since the school was short of teachers, they asked Teacher Chen to teach there."

"The village chief's stupid son?"

Li Fumei hummed, "They said Teacher Chen stayed because she liked the village chief's stupid son, but what I saw was that they locked Teacher Chen up and forced her to get married."

"They are human traffickers, but they deny it. Anyone who tells others will be beaten half to death. Teacher Chen said the outside world is beautiful and told me to go out."

"One time I dug up some ginseng and sold it. I kept most of the money and gave only a small portion to my father. I used that money to go out and study."

Li Wenhao was puzzled: "Then why didn't you call the police?"

Li Fumei shook her head, revealing a bit of helplessness of an adult.

"The village is very closed and brutal. If you call the police, they will hide you. The police can't find you or do anything to you. Even if they find you, they can't take you away."

"Dozens of people from a village would rush over, and two or three police officers wouldn't be able to handle it. We'd just let it go, otherwise they might actually beat the police to death."

"I was thinking that after this group of old guys died, the village would be more peaceful. Then Teacher Chen could come out, but it will be soon."

Li Wenhao was puzzled: "What's coming soon?"

Li Fumei curled her lips and said seriously, "Because there will be no descendants. In the future, more people will die in the village and fewer will remain. The young people will also leave, so naturally there will be no one to harm innocent people."

"There are very few girls in other villages. They can't afford to marry, and if they can't find a wife, they will naturally die out, and then the village will be empty."

"Brother Li, do you know the name of the ditch where we are?"

"what is it call."

"The Nuyinggou ditch is where baby girls from every household drowned. I picked one up when I was a child, but my father threw it away again. I can't even support myself, so how can I support my little sister?"

"After that, I rarely went to that ditch. If I couldn't save the baby, it would be better not to go. If I didn't go, I could still deceive myself that the baby girl didn't die."

Li Fumei murmured, "Brother Li, do you think they are mentally ill? They favor boys over girls and kill baby girls. When they grow up, they want to marry them off. But if the baby girls are killed, how can they marry them off?"

"They killed off their own offspring. What a wonderful thing! All the bachelors are happy."

“…They know it themselves, but they just don’t want to admit it.”

"Yeah, so they deserve to die out. I guess there aren't many people left in our village. I wonder how Teacher Chen is doing now. I'd like to go see her if I have time."

Li Wenhao nodded: "Okay, we'll go with you and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues to help her get home."

Li Fumei said solemnly, "Yes, Teacher Chen will be able to go home and reunite with her family. She shouldn't be in that rotten place. She should get out of it."

"As for those people, well, it's best to just let them fend for themselves."

Soon the three of them boarded the plane. After arriving at the destination, they rested in the hotel for one night. The next day, they took the high-speed rail and then took a bus in the afternoon, which took a long time to get to the town until dark.

Li Fumei took her people to stay in a hotel. Early the next morning, she took them to eat wontons and waited for the donkey cart to arrive under the big willow tree in the town.

When he got on the donkey cart, Li Wenhao let out a long breath: "Huhu, this is the farthest I've ever walked. Fumei, can we get there by donkey cart this time?"

"No, the donkey cart can only go to the river. If you want to cross the river, you need to paddle across. You can use that rope to paddle across."

Li Fumei communicated in dialect. When she learned that the bridge was repaired, she smiled and said, "Brother Li, Grandpa said that the bridge is repaired and we can go directly across it."

"Ropes aren't safe. They're not as safe as crossing a bridge. You just have to pay a small fee, ten dollars per person, to cross the bridge."

"That's perfect. We're not familiar with this place, and even navigation here is a bit confusing. The local police won't be here until tomorrow, so let's go around the village first."

"Let's go into the mountains with them tomorrow, Fumei, what do you think?"

Li Wenhao felt a little scared when he looked at the endless mountains. There were so many mountains here that if he got lost in them, he would never be able to get out.

Li Fumei nodded obediently: "Okay, I will listen to you. I will take you to live in the village head's house first. Their house is the best. Just give some money and you can live there."

"It's just right for me to go see Teacher Chen and tell her what's going on outside. Don't go living in my house. My dad gets drunk and gets crazy, and the house is a mess and not suitable for living."

"Well, it's up to you."

The donkey cart swayed to the river and stopped. The old man pointed at the bridge and chattered in a dialect they could not understand.

The three of them got off the donkey cart with their bags on their backs. Each of them gave two dollars and crossed the long bridge to the other side. After walking for another hour or so, they finally saw the village. Li Wenhao was breathing heavily.

"Huhu, this place is really remote."

Li Fumei walked in front and took people straight to the village chief's house. She found the old man smoking a pipe and said something to him. She took out another two hundred yuan and handed it to him.
