Chapter 293 Rebuilding the School

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and it was a scene of two sides, some were happy and some were sad. The adults began to argue with Lin Xia and the principal, and the children who had not seen each other for a long time gathered together.

When the kids saw that the school was closed and they didn’t have to go back to school, they jumped up and down with excitement. Not having to go to school meant they could continue playing. They had been playing the war game for the entire summer vacation and they never got tired of it!

Lin Xia silently surrounded the group of people in front of her, wanting to see how long their quarrel would last.

Yang Hongmei tried to explain, but her own strength was no match for the group of people in front of her, so she had to give up in the end.

Ding Qin and Zhu Airong were there with their children, but although they didn't join in the noise, it was obvious that they didn't want the school to be postponed.

After more than ten minutes, some people gradually began to wake up, just as if a cold air was spreading, and more and more people calmed down.

"I don't care! This must be learned immediately!" A roaring voice resounded through everyone's ears. The person who spoke was a little at a loss when he heard such a loud voice and looked around.

He looked at the people around him with accusatory eyes, as if saying, "Didn't we agree to protest together? Why did you stop?"

"Are you done yelling?" Seeing her stunned, Lin Xia asked calmly, "If not, we can wait a little longer."

When the woman heard this, she turned around and saw that everyone's eyes were on her. Her face immediately turned red. She raised her head and said, "So what if I'm done yelling? I just don't agree to a later start time for school!"

Lin Xia didn't want to escalate the conflict. Seeing that she was still holding her head high, but her momentum had weakened, she stopped staring at her and looked at the people around her who had already calmed down. "This typhoon was caused by the principal again. No one wants the house to collapse."

"Look at those walls over there." Lin Xia walked a few steps towards the house and looked at the side that had not collapsed.

Everyone followed her instructions and looked towards the school building. They looked left and right, nodding their heads in unison.

“What’s wrong with this wall?”

"What did you find out?" Someone asked the people around him when he couldn't find the problem.

"No, did you figure it out?" His eyes became more and more confused.

Someone was smart. After hearing what Lin Xia said, he got an idea and walked closer. He ran a few steps to the left and right to take a look. What he saw was incredible. He pointed at a wall in surprise and shouted, "This wall is crooked!"

In the half-built house, many tiles on the roof flew off, and many tiles were still standing upright on the roof. The crooked wall happened to be the load-bearing wall in the middle. The crooked wall meant that the house could collapse at any time.

After looking for a long time, everyone's eyes gradually lost their luster. Just when they were confused, they heard this roar and immediately came back to their senses.

"Where? Where?"

“That’s it!”

"Oh, it's really crooked, what should I do?"

"Yeah, then how long will it take to repair this house?"

Everyone began to look worried. The house with a collapsed corner could be repaired in a few days at most, but now the house had to be rebuilt, and it was hard to say when school could open.

The principal seemed to have aged several years in just half a day. Why did this typhoon blow just before the students were supposed to go back to school? !

Repairing a house is not just a matter of manpower, it also requires money. But where does the school get the money? The student registration fees are not enough to pay the teachers' salaries. If the fees are higher, no students will come.

"What should I do?" Yang Hongmei hadn't noticed that the wall was crooked before, so now she had to worry about it.

"Yes, yes, comrade, what do you think we should do?" Someone noticed that Lin Xia had been very calm and couldn't help but walk over to ask her.

Everyone remembered Lin Xia's previous behavior and gathered around, hoping that she could come up with a good solution.

What could Lin Xia do? She was not Superman. When she saw the white hair on the principal's head, she paused and said, "It has already happened. This is a natural disaster. Complaining is useless. It is better to think of a way to solve it."

"Fortunately, the house collapsed yesterday. If it happened today or tomorrow..." Lin Xia stopped talking halfway.

Everyone thought about what Lin Xia said and felt that it was a good thing that it collapsed yesterday. If it collapsed today when the students were in class, then...

At this moment, everyone began to feel scared, and those who had previously clamored to have classes at the other side of the school had already become as quiet as a chicken, not daring to say a word.

"It's the best that the children are safe. The house collapsed and we can only rebuild it." No one knew when Director Pei heard the news and rushed over. She didn't have any children in elementary school, so she got the news a little late.

Lin Xia was thinking about how to calm everyone down when suddenly a figure appeared beside her. It was Ding Qin. She felt a little strange, and then she heard Director Pei's voice. She looked up and saw Director Pei approaching them.

He glanced at Ding Qin and didn't bother to argue with her.

"This building needs...and those damaged tables and chairs." The principal spoke in a hoarse voice. In just half a day, a big blister appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he was anxious and angry.

When everyone heard this, they had to remain silent. Building a house requires money, and lack of money is the most critical issue.

"There will always be a way. This house is a little small to be used as a school." Director Pei saw that everyone was in low spirits and began to mobilize their emotions.

"Why not build a two-story building? The number of children is gradually increasing. If it is built smaller, it will definitely not be enough." Lin Xia looked at the school thoughtfully. The location of this place is very good. There are not many houses around, so it is easy to expand.

"And here, it would be better if we could build a playground for the children." Lin Xia thinks that the playground is necessary as a place for children to exercise and keep fit during their spare time.

The principal was worrying about the money for building a house. After hearing what Lin Xia and Director Pei said, he was stunned. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart, are they very rich?

But as far as she knew, the Women's Federation didn't seem to have much funding or income.

Everyone was still worried about the school, but when they heard what Director Pei and Lin Xia said, they couldn't help but imagine a two-story school with a playground and a running track. That would be amazing!

"But where do we get the money?" The principal came to his senses and asked with a sad look in his eyes.

Lin Xia and Director Pei looked at each other and immediately reached a consensus.

Director Pei said: "We all figured out the solution. There were no schools before, but now there are schools."

"The house has been built. There are so many of us. In order for the children to go to school, we can definitely rebuild the school by working together." Lin Xia raised his voice slightly.

The two of them were calm and composed, with no sign of worry in their eyes, which inevitably infected everyone else.

Yes! There was no school here before. Later, the army came here, and the village and town gradually became lively. Only then did schools start to appear, and children started to go to school.

"If the house collapses, we can rebuild it! As long as the children are safe, that's the best thing!" Lin Xia was thinking about how to raise money. Her strength alone was definitely not enough.
