Under such circumstances, none of the villagers stood up for Ye Jian. They didn't have much experience and were relatively narrow-minded. Although they were simple-minded, they didn't have any evil roots. They thought that as long as Ye Jian had food to eat, a place to live, and a place to learn, it was fine. Being beaten and scolded was the most normal thing for them.
Hearing Ye Jian's tragic past, Xia Jinyuan clenched his fists tightly before loosening them. His voice was low and hoarse as he asked with a vicious tone, "Did Ye Zhifan hit or scold Ye Jian?"
"No, it was all Sun Dongqing. Grandpa Gen couldn't stand up for Ye Jian sometimes. Since she didn't want to come back, he thought that Ye Jian was doing well and gave up on the idea of bringing her back."
