Chapter 140 Greed
"Okay." Chu Ci did not reject Fan Jingrui's kindness, but he ate much faster than before.
Seeing this, Fan Qianxi and her two sisters also consciously sped up their eating.
However, even so, when Chu Ci and his group arrived, the entrance of the academy was already surrounded by Qi Ya's parents and villagers.
Moreover, their unreasonable voices could be heard from a distance: "We are Qiya's parents, we have the right to change people. Let Qiya come out——"
"Why do you only accept girls? Our boys also want to go to school!"
"Yes, yes, we also want to learn how to grow peppers and make money!"
"This academy belongs to everyone. We can't just let girls in!"
Greed and arrogance were written all over their faces. They didn't care about the rules and order of the academy at all and only wanted to take advantage.
The disgust in Chu Ci's eyes disappeared in an instant. She waved her sleeves and shouted loudly: "Where is the guard?"
As Chu Ci's order was given, the guards who had been hiding in the dark appeared at the entrance of the academy with wooden sticks in hand, forming a solid line of defense.
Seeing this scene, all the villagers who were shouting just now, except Qiya's parents, involuntarily took a few steps back.
The incident happened in a hurry, and the greed on these people's faces had not yet dissipated. Fear may have surged into their hearts. Therefore, in Chu Ci's eyes, these people's faces looked extremely distorted.
At this moment, Chu Ci spoke. Her voice was not loud, but it carried a kind of majesty that could not be ignored: "Who just said that the 'Future Women's College' is yours?"
As Chu Ci spoke, her eyes slowly swept through the crowd, and everyone whose gaze touched lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to look her in the eye.
"Stand up!" Chu Ci's voice sounded again, and this time, her tone was a little more severe.
There was a commotion in the crowd, and after a moment, a burly man stood up. He had a hint of uneasiness and embarrassment on his face, but he still said, "I said it."
Chu Ci looked at him, his eyes were calm: "Why do you say that the Future Women's College is yours?"
The man opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing. His face became redder and redder, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Do you know who built this college? Do you know the significance of this college?" Chu Ci's voice was not loud, but every word was sonorous and powerful.
The man lowered his head, not daring to look Chu Ci in the eye. He knew he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late to regret it now.
The villagers who came with him also felt the same regret.
At first they thought they could rely on their numbers to force the academy to submit, but when faced with Chu Ci's tough attitude and the appearance of the guards, their momentum disappeared in an instant and they began to feel fear in their hearts.
They realized that they might have provoked someone they shouldn't have provoked, so they retreated and dared not take another step.
Only Qiya's mother was pushed hard by her husband. She suppressed her fear and said, "I... I am Qiya's mother. I heard... I heard that Qiya is in your college. We are here to take her back."
However, when Qiya's father heard his wife only mentioned taking his daughter away, he couldn't help but feel very upset.
He glared at his wife fiercely, and complained indignantly in his heart, "You useless woman, you only want to take our daughter away, what about our son?"
However, he dared not show any expression on the surface, being a real bully.
Qiya's mother could sense her husband's temper, so she could only lower her head and dare not look him in the eye.
Chu Ci saw this scene and frowned slightly, but did not persuade her to resist. He just said: "This academy was founded by me to allow more women to get an education and have the opportunity to change their destiny. Now, do you still want to take your daughter back?"
"I..." Qiya's mother hesitated.
However, how could her husband allow a woman in the family to be superior to him? So when Qi Ya's mother was about to open her mouth, her husband hit her hard in the private part of her waist.
Qiya's mother was immediately terrified. "Our family is poor, and we can't afford the tuition."
Chu Ci had imagined this ending countless times in his mind, but he still felt uncomfortable.
But Chu Ci cannot drag the entire "Women's College" into the quagmire because of Qi Ya.
"Whoever is quick can go in and bring Qiya out." With Linglong's help, Chu Ci spread his voice throughout the entire campus.
"I don't want to go back. Teacher Caiwei, you must help me. Help me!"
In the duty room, when Qi Ya heard Chu Ci's voice, her heart was suddenly filled with fear and helplessness. Her body trembled involuntarily, and her hands tightly grasped the corner of Teacher Caiwei's clothes, as if she had grasped the last straw.
Although Caiwei did not understand Chuci's meaning, she firmly believed that Chuci had his own plans, and she also believed that Chuci would not sit idly by and watch Qiya sink.
However, she would not stop thinking: "Calm down, you must calm down. Think carefully about the circumstances under which your father would abandon you. Or what do your parents care about the most?"
Qi Ya was able to resolutely come to the "Women's College" alone, which shows that she is not a cowardly and incompetent person who will sit there and wait for death. "Daddy loves my eldest brother the most."
However, as soon as these words came out, Caiwei immediately shook her head. "Can you beat your elder brother?"
Qiya's eyes dimmed for a moment. After a long while, "Second sister was actually expelled from the governor's mansion because she offended someone. Second sister was afraid that mother would worry, so she didn't tell her."
"Your second sister's name in the governor's mansion was Yun Guo?" When the sisters of the Shi family entered school, there was a lot of commotion, and Chu Ci even paid attention to the treatment of Yun Guo.
But later I heard that Yun Guo had returned to her original home and was living a good life, so I forgot about it.
So Caiwei looked at Qiya with an inquiring look in her eyes: "Did Yunguo ask you to come?"
After hearing Caiwei's question, Qiya realized that her worries had come true.
There was a deep despair in her eyes, and tears welled up in her sockets, as if they would burst out at any moment.
But she still restrained herself: "That's not the case. My second sister didn't agree with me coming at first. But she couldn't resist my pleading and even threatened Dad with her story at the critical moment. This is what my second sister told me."
"Then..." Although Caiwei believed what Qi Ya said, she didn't dare to make any more random suggestions. She was about to say a few perfunctory words to delay time.
Shuangrui, who had performed Qinggong all the way, knocked on the door: "Caiwei, the young mistress asked you to take someone out--"
Caiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She immediately took Qiya's hands and said, "Don't be afraid. As long as you are willing, there is always a way. Let's go out first. After all, they are your parents."
