ed hordes of zombie birds. Even the dense rain couldn't stop these creatures.Wu Lianyi's wrist turned, and a chicken-egg sized thunderball formed. She aimed it at the right moment, throwing it out wit...Lu Fang sighed helplessly after hearing the ripple's words:

"Who says not! Xu Xinya's grades are pretty good. If she works hard for another two years, there's a chance she could get into college. At the very least, she should aim to graduate. Having a high school diploma will make it easier to find a job."

Then her mother said she wouldn't agree to anything. I also represented the school and waived Xu Xinya's tuition fees, and applied for a special hardship subsidy, giving her a monthly meal ticket stipend of ten yuan. Even then, her mother wouldn't budge.

Rian, feigning concern, said:

"What about Xu Xin'ya's own wishes Does she want to continue her studies"

"Xu Tongxue just lowered her head and didn't say anything. When she saw me off, she said that she couldn't help it because her father's affairs had implicated the whole family. She couldn't even make friends at school. Luckily, there was a male classmate who stood up for her, but he was also scolded so badly. She didn't want to think about it anymore herself."

Lu Fang is really helpless, no matter what happened in the past, Xu Xinya was indeed a victim. She really doesn't know what to say more.

Liàn Yī listened and raised an eyebrow. This evil spirit was truly skilled, running away while still using his own cheap son to speak for him. Truly a master of using everything at his disposal.

"Oh! The child is still too young and inexperienced. However, how about the groom her mother has chosen for her It's important to find out. We don't want her to leave school and get married directly, only to have problems later and blame the school for not taking action and preventing the tragedy."

After the ripple finished speaking, it took another step closer and whispered:

"Director Lu, a while ago when I went back to Luojiatun village, I heard from the villagers there that there was a family in the neighboring village who had married a woman from the mountains. According to the new bride, the villages in the mountains were too poor and no one was willing to marry into them. Many families pooled money together to buy brides from outside."

It's said that they were marrying a daughter-in-law, but it was actually almost like buying. Since several families would be involved, the dowry would naturally be high. Some people who didn't understand the situation, seeing the amount of the dowry, would marry their daughters off, and because they married far away, they might not return home for three or five years. In the end, they would stay in the mountains for life and never come out.

Ripples are not alarmist. Based on the development of this situation, there will be quite a few such places. The main reason is that many countries are in a state of rebuilding after hardship, and the development of different regions is not balanced. Where there are affluent areas, there are also poor ones.

Lu Fang listened to Lian Yi's words, her face changed immediately, and she became serious.

"Thanks for the reminder, Auntie. We really should go and find out more. We can't just push a good child into a fire pit."

"Director Lu, I also heard about this from the village just a few days ago, so it came to mind. However, Xu Xinya's mother was at least a former wife of an official before, so she shouldn't be so easily deceived."

But if there are rich people who want a younger woman, or who want a son, it's not impossible for them to take a second wife here behind their wives' backs. For money, many people would be willing to do this.

Then, changing the subject, she got to the point.

Given her understanding of evil spirits, how could she possibly marry someone from the mountains She must have found a wealthy man to marry. By marrying him, she could devour his fortune and become prosperous in this era. How could someone who became wealthy in this day and age lack good fortune

She's trying to block her opponent's path, making it difficult for her to leave.

"Sister, I didn't expect you to know so much."

Director Lu's lips twitched.

"I'm not doing much, just like to chat with the old ladies down the alley. I hear all this stuff from those older sisters of mine."

The ripples of blame flung off with no burden at all.

I'll look into what you said.

Lu Fang has already prepared to end this exchange, Lian Yi also bid farewell from Shan Ru Liu, carrying the bought vegetables home. When she finished washing the ingredients for dinner, she went out to pick up her grandson.

Lu Fang, hearing the suggestive nature of Lian Yi's words, and fearing that if a student dropped out midway something would happen, implicating the school's reputation, she really did have someone investigate the news about Xu Xinya's prospective husband.

Qingshan Town wasn't big to begin with, and since she was actively looking for information, and the Xu family hadn't been secretive, Lu Fang actually managed to hear some news. However, after hearing the latest update, she truly didn't know what to do.

Xu Xinyu's mother found a good match for her daughter, which seemed quite good to outsiders. The only exception was that the other party was a bit older; the man was thirteen years older than Xu Xinyu.

This man is from the south and his identity is not simple. He claims to be a Hong Kong businessman named Cheng Gangsheng. His family is very wealthy, and he achieved his current status in his thirties. He can be considered successful, but unfortunately, his wife only gave birth to one daughter before passing away when the daughter was five years old.

After that, the man focused on his career and didn't get married. His youngest daughter was raised by their mother at home. He worked hard to make money, and now that he's wealthy, he's starting to think about marriage again. After all, a large family business needs an heir.

He didn't consider making his daughter the heir, after all, she was going to marry out. But marrying someone from Hong Kong, those women were high-and-mighty and wouldn't want to be stepmother.

And women willing to marry him are all eyeing the money in his pocket. If he married someone from a suitable family for career development, he would certainly be tied to that family's ship. He doesn't want that; it makes him too passive.

This time, he came to mainland China to look for investment opportunities. What's more, the new machinery purchased by the machine factory just happened to be from this man. He took the opportunity to investigate the market while delivering the goods, and ended up falling for Xu XinYa.

Xu Xinyan isn't saying she's breathtakingly beautiful, but she's definitely a charming and delicate flower. What's more, her family doesn't care about her father's past. Besides offering a hefty dowry, they also promised to take Xu Xinyan's mother with them, ensuring the Xu family wouldn't have any worries. Under these conditions, who wouldn't be tempted

So things were settled like that. Xu's mother efficiently arranged for her daughter to withdraw from school, allowing her to stay at home and prepare for marriage. Even the engagement ceremony was skipped, and they would go straight to marriage.

Although Lu Fang found out specific information about Cheng Gangsheng, she really didn't want to interfere. After all, this was someone else's family affair, and she couldn't say the man's conditions were bad with a clear conscience.

Lu Fang, taking responsibility as a teacher, still visited Xu Xin's home to encourage her. Even though she was married, she shouldn't give up on learning. At least the education conditions there were definitely better than in the town. Only by strengthening herself could she live more freely.

"Thank you, Director Lu, for telling me this. I will not give up any opportunity to learn."

Xu Xin Ya immediately obediently replied.

This time she really listened in, because she herself knew that marrying was the worst option right now. But she wanted to escape her current situation as quickly as possible, and be able to take her mother with her, completely leaving Green Hill Town behind and finding a place where no one knew them. This was the fastest and most effective way to do it.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to leave Qing Shan Town. After all, without an introduction letter, she couldn't go anywhere. But if she were to get married, it would make perfect sense.

After leaving the Xu family this time, Lu Fang happened to run into Lian Yi who was going to the market to buy groceries. The two chatted for a few words, and Lian Yi managed to get the information she wanted to know.cultivate.The ripples of the divine consciousness delved into the lake he had fallen into, discovering that there were only a group of first- and second-tier colorful fish.
