However, Ding Xiang was too eager to let the children in the village get a good basic education that she ignored the evils of human nature. Or rather, she didn't dare to think in a bad direction after knowing that there was a way to let the teachers go up the mountain.
After dinner, Yang Huan accompanied Ding Xiang to visit the children who were still in school. Ding Xiang was completely dumbfounded when they heard that the children and villagers doubtfully said that there were no teachers teaching them and that the children were back to their original state of being unsupervised.
How could this be? Ding Xiang said in disbelief, "I saw the photos they sent me. Weren't my brother and sister still in school?"
"Oh, it was the same for the first month. The two teachers took turns to come, but then it was the same as before. The teachers stopped coming. How could the teachers stay in a poor place like ours? "a villager said to Ding Xiang.
But something was wrong! Last month, when Ding Xiang called the village, why did the Village Education Unit official tell Ding Xiang that the children were doing well and had improved a little compared to before?
It was worth mentioning that Ding Xiang had decided to fork out her own money to increase her teacher's allowance. She did not tell the elders in the stronghold about it because she knew that if she did, the simple villagers in the stronghold would not be willing to make so many sacrifices for her.
That was also why Ding Xiang hadn't been informed by anyone in the village for half a year without a teacher.
"Wait, you still gave them the money? Sister Ding Xiang, I remember you said that you send money to the village every month? "On the way back, Yang Huan stared at Ding Xiang, who was in a daze, and asked.
Ding Xiang's expression was bleak as she gently nodded.
"Oh, I know. It must be those corrupt officials in your village who took the money!" Yang Huan immediately patted the wooden wall and said anxiously, "sister Ding Xiang, I've heard about this many times. It was the same in our county. Because we were poor and the country helped the poor, there was no way for the money to be given to us farmers. It was all taken by those officials..."
Yang Huan almost guessed the truth.
Tuche Village was even poorer than Zhuyi Town. The 4,000 yuan that Ding Xiang sent back every month (after deducting the necessary living expenses and school fees) was almost equal to the salary of several civil servants in such a poor place. It was definitely a "huge sum of money"!
This sum of money was placed in front of these officials who were afraid of poverty. How could they not be tempted?
What's more, the teachers of White Yao Stronghold would run away one after another, but that position was still allocated by the government. It was just like the donkey in "Donkey Gets Water". The teachers who ran away would still receive a monthly stipend, but who would receive it?
The answer had been obvious for a long time!
It could be said that even if Ding Xiang did not give the money, no teachers would come to White Yao Stronghold. This was because the money was easy to take!
And now, Ding Xiang had foolishly transferred money over. With such a "huge sum of money", would the greedy people let go of this money because of their conscience?
How could this be?
Therefore, the people from the education unit made use of the fact that Baiyao Stronghold was unable to communicate with each other and set up a plan to deceive everyone!
In the beginning, they did hire two private teachers to go up the mountain to teach the children, and all the photos were taken in advance.
But the good times did not last long. Ding Xiang continued to go back to Jiangcheng to teach and work, and the two private teachers took turns teaching. Before they could even think of running away, these people could not wait to dismiss the two teachers with fabricated reasons.
Then, they hired another teacher to go up the mountain to teach, but the salary was very low. That teacher ran away after a few days and did not want the salary. Later, they were too lazy to act, and no more teachers went up the mountain.
They used the old photos to trick Ding Xiang, and even urged Ding Xiang to transfer the money over every month. As for what would happen if Ding Xiang found out? They did not care too much!
Now that they had the money, they would get it first. If Ding Xiang found out and did not give them the money, they would have gotten enough!
Of course, Yang Huan and Ding Xiang did not know that much. But the next day, before dawn, Ding Xiang and Yang Huan could not wait to go down the mountain and find the two private teachers. They knew that when the two teachers worked, they only received a meager basic salary and not as much as Ding Xiang said!
These officials couldn't even bear to give money to these teachers when they were putting on an act!
Ding Xiang could not hold it in any longer. When the sun was about to set, she and Yang Huan blocked the door of the village's education department, and happened to block the director, Wang Desheng.
Under Ding Xiang's questioning, Wang Desheng pushed up his glasses and said unhurriedly, "Comrade Ding Xiang, don't be anxious. Let's talk slowly!"
Not only did Wang Desheng not feel ashamed, he even denied what they had done and pushed the blame to the remote and desolate Baiyao Stronghold!
"Even the teachers are not willing to go up the mountain. What do you expect us to do? We are also trying our best to find teachers for you. Don't worry, there will definitely be teachers. Our village attaches great importance to the education of the children in Baiyao Stronghold … "Wang Desheng said in a bureaucratic tone.
Yang Huan was full of anger. She clenched her fists and asked, "Why did you lie to her and say that the teachers are still there and that the students' results are improving? The children in the stronghold are not going to school! "
"Comrade, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. You have to take responsibility for your words. Our village sincerely hopes that every child can receive an education, but there is a shortage of teachers now. The children can only study by themselves. Once we solve the problem, there will naturally be teachers to teach them! "Wang Desheng beat around the bush and did not answer Yang Huan's question at all.
"Then what about her money? You didn't hire teachers for the stronghold. Return the money! "Yang Huan's body was trembling. Anger was boiling in her chest.
"Money? Comrade Ding Xiang volunteered to donate it to the village. Although we can't use it in Baiyao Stronghold, it is indeed shining and helping the children in other poor villages to study. We still have to thank Comrade Ding Xiang. But don't worry, we will definitely hire teachers for Baiyao Stronghold next semester. We will not let the children go without books. We are doing this for the good of the children, don't you think so? "Wang Desheng looked at Ding Xiang with a smile as if he was looking at a mountain of gold.
"Yes, my ass!" Ding Xiang's expression was still gloomy. She did not know how to rebuke or defend herself. Finally, Yang Huan could not take it anymore.
Sister Huan angrily reprimanded Wang Desheng and he fell to the ground with a punch.
Similar to the punch that Guo Ziyi landed on Tang Kaitai's eye, Yang Huan also punched Wang Desheng's eye, but the strength was different.
Yang Huan had been practicing Hong Quan since she was young. Although she was very tired and her limbs were weak, the punch that was enhanced by her anger was like a fierce tiger dashing down the mountain.
KO with one punch!
Wang Desheng was knocked to the ground and fainted.
"Ah! Someone hit me! " A woman from the education department screamed. She yelled and asked the village guards to arrest Yang Huan.
Fortunately, Ding Xiang came back to her senses. She quickly pulled Yang Huan, who was still angrily scolding Wang Desheng, and escaped.
After calming down, Yang Huan realized that she seemed to have gotten into trouble. There was even the sound of police sirens outside. In this place, it was someone else's territory. The village officials were like local tyrants! Ding Xiang also didn't know anyone. If she was caught, she wouldn't be able to call out to the heavens and the earth!
Yang Huan and Ding Xiang hid, not daring to go back to the hotel. Then, they called Yang Yi and told him about the situation. Fortunately, there was a signal in the village!
After hearing the whole story, Yang Yi did not blame Yang Huan, nor did he panic. Instead, he calmly said to them, "Don't go back to the village first. Let's find a way. You two go to the city first. They will never guess that not only did you not run home, you ran out instead. Then, wait for me in the city. I'll come over now! As for how to deal with it, we'll talk about it when I get there. "
"Sister Huan and sister Ding Xiang are in trouble? I'll go too! " Guo Ziyi had heard the commotion. He did not even remove his makeup. He anxiously went to Yang Yi's side and said.
Yang Yi was still holding a prop gun in his right hand. He gently poked Guo Ziyi's chest and said, "What are you going to do? What can you do? Are you worried that I can't solve it? "
Yang Yi was still wary of Guo Ziyi. He was afraid that he would play a hero to save the damsel in distress and make his sister so touched that she would marry him. That would not do! Moreover, Yang Yi had never thought of using Guo Ziyi's father's power. He probably already had a way to solve the problem, a non-violent way.
"I'm also worried about sister Ding Xiang and Sister Huan! Big Brother Yang, please let me go with you. If the two of us go together, we can take care of each other. "Guo Ziyi pleaded pitifully.
