Chapter 103: Cen Chen
"Village Chief Cen, do you want the children in the village to go to school?"
Su Yu asked softly about the old man in front of him who had been running around for decades for education.
Hearing Su Yu's words, the old village chief suddenly became energetic.
He looked up at Su Yu with some excitement, and a look of surprise gradually appeared on his old face.
Other than that, it's more moving.
"Y-Are you telling the truth?"
"Really."
Looking at the old man with red eyes, Su Yu turned his head and smiled knowingly with Elena.
"Absolutely."
If half of the reason was for the reputation of the Su Group, then at this moment, Su Yu completely corrected his thoughts.
Charity on the surface can indeed mean meaning, but behind it is the lives of countless people.
"If it's convenient, can you take me around the village?"
"Good, good! Come with me, both of you. ”
After getting the old village chief's permission, Su Yu motioned for Elena to bring her camera, and the three of them walked straight towards the village.
In fact, Cen Jia Village has everything that should be, in addition to bungalows and thatched houses, Su Yu even found a building that looked extremely dilapidated in a small village.
A tattered wooden sign is stuck in the doorway of the building.
It reads: Hope Elementary School
Su Yu followed the old village chief through the village, and the surrounding villagers cast curious and inquiring glances at them.
"Hello village chief!"
Along the way, there were even many enthusiastic villagers and the old village chief to say hello.
Just when Su Yu looked all the way and didn't feel anything abnormal, there was a sudden loud beating and scolding not far ahead.
The ugly invective mixed with it made everyone frown.
"You damn girl, lose money! Lao Tzu said don't go to fix those things, you want to fix them, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you! ”
The thin, thin-haired man looked like he was drunk, and he was blushing and picking up a broom and whipping it at the girl on the ground.
The girl was also small, with short hair covered with dust from the ground like dead grass.
The man was not light, and the girl looked in great pain, but she did not let go of what she was holding in her arms.
"How did it start again? This, this ......"
The old village chief couldn't help but be startled when he squinted his eyes and saw the scene in front of him.
Just when he wanted to stop it, the woman who was standing next to him had already run forward quickly, and under the surprised gaze of everyone, she grabbed the broom of the thin man and wanted to continue to whip the girl.
The man moved twice and found that he couldn't move, so he turned his head and glared viciously at the person who had done his wrong.
"Where did you come from! Dare to stop Lao Tzu. ”
Facing the foul smell of wine spewing out of the man's mouth, Su Yu tilted his head in disgust, and then pushed the man to the ground with a slam of his hand.
Elena, on the other hand, reacted very quickly and ran over and hugged the girl who was trembling in pain to the side.
"I said Lao Zhang, why are you beating your girl again, children don't understand what they have and don't have, you should play with her."
A tall black-skinned woman glared at the man on the ground with some dissatisfaction, and easily protected Elena who was holding the girl behind her.
"That's right."
"Lao Zhang, what you did this time is really not a human thing."
In the midst of the discussion of the villagers, the man on the ground got up in shame and spat viciously at everyone.
"You damn girl, see how I'll clean you up when you come back later."
After the man said this, he stared at the girl who was curled up in Elena's arms fiercely, and then turned his head and entered the house unwillingly.
After he left, Su Yu only felt that the air seemed to be filled with the disgusting smell of wine on the man's body.
She turned her head to look at the old village chief who had dismissed the villagers, and asked in a deep voice.
"Village chief, what's going on?"
Sensing Su Yu's emotions, the old village chief sighed helplessly.
"Although the children in our village all yearn to go to school, it is normal for their parents to disagree. But Zhang Zhongyi is the only family, the baby mother went early, this surnamed Zhang is drunk every day, and he likes to beat and scold his daughter. ”
"No, just because the morning girl asked me to read a few small books, she became angry again."
After sorting out the cause and effect, Su Yu frowned and asked again.
"Didn't anyone stop it?"
It seems that he had expected Su Yu to ask this, and the old village chief only felt that it was evil.
He shook his head and explained.
"Everyone must stop it, but the more they stop on the surface, the harder the surnamed Zhang beats in private. After all, it's his baby, and there will always be times when we protect it. ”
"He's so hateful!"
After listening to the old village chief's words, Elena only felt that the girl in her arms was pitiful, and she was indignant.
"Let's take it back and take the medicine."
Su Yu said lightly, she turned her eyes to the girl who was shrinking in Elena's arms, but unexpectedly found that the girl's gaze kept wandering between Elena and her.
As soon as the words fell, Su Yu led a few people back to his tent, and decided to take a closer look at the village when he had time.
In the tent, Su Chenglin, who came from nowhere to hear the news, looked at Su Yu with a worried face.
"Sister, how did I hear that you and the people in the village did it?"
Su Chenglin ran over and looked Su Yu up and down to check if she was injured.
Looking at his younger brother, who was a soldier, Su Yu was helpless and angry.
At the moment, I was afraid that there would be too many people and scared the little girl who brought him back, so I pushed him out of the tent.
No matter how confused Su Chenglin is, he can only wait outside.
Su Yu turned her head and saw Elena gently put the girl on the soft couch, and the girl retreated into the corner with a little nervousness.
The hearts of several people present were slightly twitched.
Elena even cursed in English.
"Don't be afraid, girl, these two sisters are good people."
Village Chief Cen softened his tone and said to the nervous girl with a smile.
Fortunately, there was another acquaintance present, and the girl slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of eyes from under the messy bangs and looking at the two timidly.
"Little sister, what's your name?"
Su Yu slowly squatted down, a pair of gentle apricot eyes like a breeze.
The little girl also recognized that this was the person who helped her stop her father just now, so she stumbled and replied.
"Cen Chen, Cen Chen."
The girl's voice was soft, but unprovoked hoarse.
The kind of cowardice revealed from his voice almost instantly reminded Su Yu of himself when he was a child.
After she made eye contact with Cen Chen, she moved as lightly as possible to approach the latter.
Fortunately, children are the most sensitive to the perception of good and bad, and Cen Chen probably understands that Su Yu has no ill will towards him.
After noticing Su Yu's movements, he just quietly lowered his head, but he didn't particularly resist.
"Sister will help you with the medicine, okay? Chenchen told her sister where it hurts. ”
The woman's gentle voice sounded inside the tent.
