"Sister-in-law, you can speak now."

"Today we went down to check on the enrollment of school-age children... Da Ya was dressed loosely. If I hadn't been adjusting her clothes, I would have noticed her stomach. It didn't look like she had just gained weight; it looked like she was pregnant, about four or five months along. The child is only fourteen years old. I didn't make a fuss, and I didn't even alert the local police station. I just came directly to you."

"What? This is a crime!"

"Yes, given her mental state, she probably doesn't even know what happened."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to investigate."

"There's one more thing. If it's nothing, that's best. But if it's really as I suspect, don't say that I said this. You all know about my family's affairs. The courtyard where Daya and her granddaughter live belongs to my biological mother's first husband. That way, no one will say that I'm taking this opportunity to retaliate."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'll have an older female comrade investigate first, and then I'll give her the credit." Xing Anguo patted his chest and assured her. Mo Yan was away from home for long periods of time, and his sister-in-law was raising two children by herself, one of whom was the orphan of a comrade-in-arms. Just for that sense of responsibility, they were determined not to let his sister-in-law be in any danger.

"Alright, it's getting late, I won't wait for your wife to come back. Tell her later that I'll let her know about her nephew's transfer to another school."

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law."

After returning home, Lian Yanyan didn't mention the matter to anyone, not even when Mo Yan called.

Half a month later, the sensational case of raping and luring a minor was solved. The Lin family father and son and two other men were arrested and imprisoned. In addition to Lin Zhixu and Lin Ting, two other men from the neighborhood were also involved. The police had scouted the location and directly arrested the four men in Daya's house. These beasts even gathered together and completely disregarded Daya's five-month pregnancy.

As for whether anyone else was involved in forcing Daya, we'll have to wait until she wakes up to ask. She suffered a miscarriage that night due to excessive fright.

On the day the newspaper was published, Lian Yanyan took the newspaper to the director of the Education Bureau.

"Director, have you seen this report?"

"After seeing this, they're truly heartless and inhuman! Human nature has deteriorated!"

"Well, Lin Ting and I are half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers."

People who enter government departments have all undergone background checks, so the bureau chief was not surprised. He simply reassured the person, "You are you, he is him, your father is a hero, and you grew up in different educational environments."

"I know, I've already cut ties with her emotionally. What I sympathize with is the child Daya. Last month when we went to that neighborhood for a survey, I even gave her a piece of candy. Director, I want to establish a special education school or institution, a non-profit one, to take in children with illnesses who have no guardians or whose guardians are unable to raise and supervise them."

The bureau chief adjusted his glasses, looked carefully at his capable subordinate, and after a long pause, said, "Comrade Lian, do you realize that you're talking about a very difficult and long-term task?"

"I know, I know I'm not a professional, but as you know, my husband has made some money in the south and is worried about how to give back to his hometown. I think the government should take the lead, with Mo Yan providing the funding, to establish this institution that integrates education, medical treatment, and so on. If someone like Daya is unable to support herself, she can stay in the institution. At least she should know what danger is."

"That's a lot of money. Will your husband agree?"

"Director, no matter how large the sum of money is, it won't be invested all at once. As he earns more in the future, he can invest more, and we can also attract some social donations. We will publish the income from donations and the expenses every week."

"You should discuss it with your husband first, then come up with a feasible plan, and then we can discuss it further." The bureau chief wasn't stupid; this was a way to give him a political achievement, and if it worked out, he could get promoted even further.

Lian Yanyan understands Mo Yan well, whether it's his philanthropy in the story or her understanding of his temperament after living with him for so many years.

On the phone, Mo Yan laughed: "Looks like our Yan'er is up to something big! This is great, we must support her. How much? Is 100,000 enough?"

Good heavens, back in the 1980s, when even a household with 10,000 yuan could make the news, this guy just threw out 100,000 yuan!

"The first phase of funding should be enough. I plan to apply for that small building in the South District as the first phase of the project. We'll do some simple renovations, hire a few teachers and a dean, and then we can put it on the signboard."

"Aren't you the dean already in place?"

"I'm good at being a supervisor, but I can't do the actual work. It's too tiring."

"That's true. Your husband is paying for it, so there's no reason for you to work yourself out."

"Are you free to come back soon?"

"I've been very busy lately, probably."

"The kids are on summer vacation, how about I take them to visit you?"

"Great, that's wonderful, but do you have a fake one?"

"My husband did such a great thing, is it so hard for me to take two months off?" Lian Yanyan said playfully. She couldn't always make Mo Yan run back and forth. Besides, this guy earns so much money, shouldn't she go and assert her dominance?

"Haha, tell me your time before you come, and I'll drive to pick you up."

"understood."

Lian Yanyan began drafting a feasibility report, with 100,000 yuan as initial funding, and the government providing accommodation and dispatching teachers and nurses.

A week later, Lian Yanyan and the director of the Education Bureau appeared in the office of the municipal party secretary.

"Comrade Lian, you are a comrade with great love."

"Secretary, you flatter me. I simply witnessed an injustice, happened to have a solution in mind, and then put it into action."

"That's difficult. We discussed it in the meeting and felt it was highly feasible. Has Mr. Mo requested any decision-making authority?"

"No, he's too busy, but my husband and I demand oversight. The use of funds must be transparent. We can't let a good cause like charity become a breeding ground for corruption."

"Of course, there are also some details such as student enrollment. We have discussed and formulated a rough set of rules, please take a look."

The special education institution was thus established. After Mo Yan's 100,000 yuan arrived, the first step of the revision work began. Lian Yanyan was involved in many aspects of the preliminary work, so she became busy. Recently, she gave Aunt Yu a raise so that she could stay home all day to take care of and pick up the two children. Other people's children might not need to be picked up and dropped off, but theirs couldn't, because their father was too rich.

Until Wu Qingya and Lin Feng blocked the entrance of the Education Bureau.

"A rare guest? My own mother still remembers that I am her daughter?" Lian Yanyan took a few steps back as she stepped out the door.

"Yanzi, Mom needs to talk to you. Come here."

Lian Yanyan looked at her increasingly aged face, her heart unmoved: "You don't come to my door without a reason. You can't be here for anything good. Tell me what it is."
