Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

"I don’t think many people are aware about N county, it’s a relatively undeveloped area. Fifteen years ago, the Government dispatched a group of officers to inspect the countryside. In order to pass the inspection, the count magistrate searched for a group of artisans to build a school. At the time, we didn’t have a school in the area, the children in the village all learned from a sister who received education and they would go to her house. With no books or a blackboard, they depended on her knowledge that was delivered verbally, and they would just listen.

It was impossible to construct a school in such a short period, and everyone was unwilling to work under such time restrictions. They felt like they were doing more harm to their own children, a school is meant to be a place for them to learn after all. On the other hand, these officers couldn’t care less about their concerns, they would bring in their men to bash our homes and cause a scene. Thinking about how these officers would make our lives difficult, they were forced to start the project. The building materials that they had were of poor quality, and the scaffoldings and concretes collapsed halfway through construction. My father and four other constructors were killed in that incident.”

The reporter followed, “Why wasn’t there a school at the time? The higher ups would have funded for the institution.”

The teenager gave a crooked smile, “I think the funds ended up in someone’s pocket.”

What she said was vague but self-explanatory.

Everyone could tell what she meant by that.

The interviewer pressed on for more questions, “How was this matter handled during the time? Didn’t the inspectors resolve the issue on the papers?”

“It was already resolved. Not only did the inspector not take it to the papers, but even aided the culprit in concealing the truth.”

Up till that point, everyone already knew what this demonstration was all about.

“How was the issue settled then? Was there any compensation that was made to the deceased?” the reporter queried.

This time an elderly came up to the front and said, “Since when was there any compensation, and not only that, but they also forbade us from letting this news out. For anyone who opened their mouth about the matter, their houses would’ve been taken down.”

The reported widened her eyes upon learning such news, that was too much!

Technology wasn’t as advanced back then, there was no such thing as the internet. On top of that, they were in the mountainous areas, which was easily hidden from sight.

The elderly started to shed tears, “I only had one son, and his life was taken away in that accident. I want them to address this matter, apart from ignoring the issue, they punched and kicked us and threatened us with words.”

As the old woman lifted her sleeves, there was a big scar on his arm about ten centimetres long, “They did this to me with a hoe.”

Although the scar had healed, but due to improper treatment, it didn’t heal smoothly and looked rather hideous.
