Hearing Wang Liang's name, Dai Yanling's body trembled noticeably. Wang Yu and Qu Lu, who were closest to her, quickly sensed this.

"Yanling, don't worry, we will accompany you. He won't dare to do anything to you."

"Yes, Mom, don't worry, I will protect you!"

Wang Yu's words made Dai Yanling laugh instead: "There are so many people in this room, even Xiaohua is two months older than you... You are the youngest, but I want you to protect me, then as a mother, I will be too embarrassed to face people."

With this smile, everyone started laughing too, and the gloom that had just been there suddenly disappeared.

The fairly relaxed atmosphere continued into the afternoon.

At around three or four o'clock, when Zhou Ling and Qu Lu were discussing the case in the next room, they received a call from the police station saying that Wang Liang had arrived.

Half an hour later, Jiang Baige finally met the "legendary" Wang Liang.

Wang Liang is a little short and round, with a face like a small potato and a body like a big potato.

He must have rushed here all the way. He was wearing a yellowed white shirt that was already wet, and his hair was sticking to his scalp with sweat, making him look more like a potato.

When he saw them, Wang Liang was wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Judging from his appearance, he seems to be a simple person. Even the police officer whispered that they didn't expect that he would beat his daughter like this just to get money for gambling. It is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance.

Wang Liang obviously knew why he was called here. When he saw Wang Yu, he glared at her fiercely.

Wang Yu seemed to feel threatened. He grabbed Jiang Baige's clothes and carefully hid behind Jiang Baige and Dai Yanling.

Jiang Baige went to see Dai Yanling and found that Dai Yanling's eyes were looking around except at Wang Liang.

Qu Lu seemed to have noticed this as well, and took a step forward and stood in front of them.

At this time Jiang Baige looked at Wang Liang's expression again. The threatening attitude just now disappeared and turned into a kind of cowardice. The fierce light in his eyes was also disguised, and his whole body said "I know I'm wrong, it's all my fault."

Among this group of people, Jiang Baige and Xiaohua are the least related.

Although she could testify to Wang Liang's domestic violence against his daughter, the testimony had already been recorded on the day she called the police.

Now they are dealing with a case of domestic violence. Wang Yu and Wang Liang are the parties involved, Wang Liang and Dai Yanling are the parents, Qu Lu and Zhou Ling are lawyers, and they went to the mediation room with two policemen.

Jiang Baige took advantage of this free time to take out her computer from her bag and started working.

This time she came out very suddenly, and she asked for a personal leave. Because she had just been on a "field trip" not long ago, she felt really bad about it, so she tried to handle her work remotely.

Xiaohua sat next to her and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Work."

Infinite sorrow is revealed in these two short words.

“It looks amazing.”

Stars appeared in Xiaohua's eyes, but Jiang Baige only thought in her heart: Child, when you grow up, you will understand how hard it is to work.

But then she thought again, how can Xiaohua get out of this mountainous area?

"Xiaohua, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Xiaohua obviously didn't expect Jiang Baige to ask her this question. She was stunned for a moment before she stammered.

"I... I might finish junior high school... If I get into high school, maybe I'll go there? But it's not certain. I have two younger brothers. If my family doesn't have money, I might have to work to earn money. My mother also said that if Xiaoyu goes to Anjing and finds a good job in the future, she can introduce it to me..."

Her voice was calm, without any resentment, as if her life was supposed to be like this: not studying at a young age, working to earn money to support her younger brother.

Jiang Baige listened and felt very heartbroken.

"Have you ever thought about continuing to study in high school and going to college? After graduating from college, you will have more opportunities to find a higher-paying job..."

"Go to college?" Xiaohua's eyes sparkled with longing, but it was extinguished in an instant. "It's impossible... Let alone female college students, there has never been a college student in our village..."

"Then you can be the first one, if you want."

Xiaohua's expression was complex. She seemed happy, but also a little timid in her excitement, followed by lack of confidence. Then she turned her head and stopped looking at Jiang Baige.

She stood up and said, "Sister, I'm going to go out for some fresh air. I won't disturb you from working."

"Okay, be careful not to go too far."

Jiang Baige did not force her. She would never force anyone to accept her help.

When Jiang Baige finished her work, put away her computer, stretched, and was about to stand up and walk around, Dai Yanling and her group also came out.

Jiang Baige trotted over and asked Zhou Ling in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"Nothing can happen. After Wang Liang has been criticized and educated, he will be let go."

"That Xiaoyu..."

"Xiaoyu, come back to Anjing with us." Zhou Ling's expression eased a little, but not completely. "It's strange that Wang Liang didn't object. He even said that it's a good thing for his daughter to go to a big city during the summer vacation."

Jiang Baige also nodded: "When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. This guy must be a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken - he has no good intentions!"

I guess everyone here thinks so.

Jiang Baige also noticed another thing: "Sister Dai's son didn't come?"

Zhou Ling nodded gently: "Yes. Sister Dai was scolding him just now, saying that there was a flood and he actually left his son alone at home. What if something happened?"

"He did it on purpose, didn't he?"

Dai Yanling was in Anjing, and he could take his son to see her. But now that Dai Yanling had come to Mangxian, he was not allowed to see her.

Isn't it obvious that "I have the final say on whether we can meet or not"?

But what’s the use of knowing?

"Wang Liang explained that he was afraid that something might go wrong on the way with his son, so he dropped him off at his grandparents' house two days earlier."

Where did these two people appear?

Zhou Ling knew that Jiang Baige was surprised, because she was also quite surprised, because she had never heard Dai Yanling mention it before.

"Wang Liang stopped living with them after they got married. He has no money now and is addicted to gambling and drinking. Of course, he doesn't care about supporting the elderly. I heard that the house originally belonged to the elderly, but was taken over by Wang Liang after they got married. The old couple had no choice but to move to their daughter's home in the neighboring village..."

Okay, okay, my daughter is here to back me up again.

Jiang Baige was angry about these things, but she was calm. What could she do? She could do nothing.

So I stopped sighing and asked directly: "What did Sister Dai say?"

Before Zhou Ling could speak, Wang Liang's voice came over.

"You guys need to bring some food with you on your trip to Anjing, right? How about I go buy some fruit? By the way, where are you staying in Anjing? Or the same place as before? Now that there's one more person, I'm afraid there won't be enough room, right?"

Before he finished speaking, Qu Lu suddenly asked, "How do you know where Yanling lives?"
