Chapter 82 The Right Thing

She was very nervous and worried that she would not do well enough and embarrass Lu Chenyang.

This was her first time teaching students as a teacher.

She repeated it over and over again, and even called the maid over to act as her student.

"How is it? How did I speak?" Shen Yihuan asked anxiously.

The maidservant was very polite: "Miss, you speak very well! But, I am too stupid to understand much."

Shen Yihuan sighed dejectedly, "Forget it, you guys go out."

Soon it was time for class, and Shen Yihuan set off for the pharmaceutical factory.

In fact, she was also worried that there might be no one inside.

But when I got outside, I saw the person who said he would not come during the day running in stealthily, like a thief.

There are several such people.

Shen Yihuan: “…” She was indeed a little too naive, it turned out to be unbelievable, it was all a lie.

The tension in Shen Yihuan's heart dissipated a little.

Shen Yihuan smiled secretly, but still walked in. More than half of the people in the huge school were already sitting there, which was pretty good in Shen Yihuan's opinion.

Shen Yihuan took a deep breath and began her first day as a teacher.

All teaching begins with learning one’s own name. This is something that has been with us all our lives, but for many people, it is the first time they know how to write their own name.

The moment they saw their names written on the paper, everyone felt a sense of shock, as if something had finally come true.

They all studied very hard, writing their names clumsily and unfamiliarly on the white paper stroke by stroke, which gave Shen Yihuan a sense of accomplishment she had never felt before.

She likes it here.

An hour of study passed quickly, and many people were still reluctant to leave.

Shen Yihuan returned home happily and ran into Shen An.

Shen An has not been doing any corvee labor recently and is recuperating at home.

Now in the entire Yanquan County, the only person who resents Lu Chenyang and speaks ill of him is probably Shen An.

"You are such a good young lady, but you have to show up in public and embarrass yourself!" Shen An said sarcastically.

Shen Yihuan looked at Shen An and said, "Second Uncle, I heard that County Magistrate Lu is going to build Youwuyuan recently. I see that you are in good health and have plenty of time. How about I tell County Magistrate Lu to let you go first?"

Chen An was shocked. Serving forced labor was the only hardship he had ever experienced in his life.

"You...how can you be so vicious! Is there anyone who would harm their elders like you?!" Shen An pointed at Shen Yihuan and said angrily.

Shen Yihuan felt as if she were in another world when she looked at Shen An. In the past, there had been a lot of friction between the first and second branches of the Shen family, and she had often helped Shen Shiqian and her father with advice.

But looking back now, I find those grudges ridiculous.

There are so many things to do, but we are huddled together in this big house fighting among ourselves. It is really meaningless.

She just said, "I just want to remind my second uncle to make preparations early." After that, she bowed and turned to leave.

She still has to go back and think about what to teach tomorrow.

Lord Lu said that they study for practical purposes, and they should be taught common characters and the most basic accounting methods.

She can do accounting, that's what she's best at.

Shen Yihuan felt that he had done the most correct thing, which was to go to the pharmaceutical factory as a manager!

What Shen Yihuan said about Lu Chenyang wanting to build Youwuyuan was true. As the name suggests, Youwuyuan is a place to take in homeless orphans and elderly people without support.

There are many people like this. In the past, Lu Chenyang had no money, and many of these people lived in dilapidated temples.

Last winter was extremely cold and people even froze to death. Lu Chenyang learned from his mistakes and decided to complete the construction of the orphanage before winter this year.

It’s just that there were too many things to do this year, so the construction of Youwuyuan was put on hold. Now that other things have been completed, Lu Chenyang decided to start building Youwuyuan.

Oh, there is another reason for building Youwuyuan now, Yu Dayong is back.

He had been leading the caravan out for more than half a year and had returned with a full load.

The mushrooms and medicinal herbs he took out were sold at a very good price in Jiangnan. The medicinal herbs and the medicine made by Zhao Xi were also very effective.

The thing that all rich people fear most is getting sick. The medicinal herbs he brought were all good, and they were immediately swept away by several wealthy families in Jiangnan.

Food is cheap in Jiangnan, so Yu Dayong listened to Lu Chenyang and bought a lot of cheap food, cloth, etc., intending to make a profit from the difference.

Yu Dayong smiled and said, "If it weren't for the full space, I would have bought some more food. My Lord, you don't know, food in Jiangnan is really cheap."

Lu Chenyang praised him greatly for this: "You've worked so hard, you've done a great job. You finally got back, take a good rest for a few days."

Yu Dayong didn't feel it was hard at all. He really liked this kind of job. It was more exciting than his previous job as a hunter. He liked this kind of adventurous life.

Yu Dayong didn't think so. He smiled and said, "Sir, I'm already home. Thanks to your care, my mother is well taken care of. I'm not tired. Now that winter has not yet arrived and the roads are easier to walk on, I think I should hurry up and go out again. Earning more money is the right thing to do."

Yu Dayong had only his elderly mother at home. While he was away with his caravan, Lu Chenyang sent someone to take care of the elderly woman. Yu's mother was young, nimble, and able to work. Because of Lu Chenyang's care, no one in Yanquan County dared to bully her, so the elderly woman lived a happy life.

When Yu Dayong returned home this time, his mother said, "I have never had such a comfortable life in my life."

She didn't have to worry about being bullied. She could do farm work every day and the government wouldn't charge her extra money. People often came to visit her and talk to her, even Lu Chenyang came to visit her.

Because she was valued by Lu Chenyang, her neighbors also respected her very much.

The old lady said it many times that it was the right thing to do to come out.

Yu Dayong was very grateful when he found out about this. He knew that the government office was short of money and Lu Chenyang could only eat meat twice in ten days.

He saw Lu Chenyang's eyes light up when he took the silver bills he brought back.

But Lord Lu said, "With this money, the children and the elderly in Youwuyuan will be able to have a good winter this year."

With the money, Lord Lu thought about the elderly and children who had no one to take care of them. Yu Dayong felt that it must be very hard for Lord Lu to support the livelihoods of so many people in Yanquan County alone, and if he could help him share some of the burden, even if it was just a little bit, it would be good.

Lu Chenyang smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Yu Dayong quickly said, "It's not hard, it's not hard. What's so hard about this? Adults are the ones who really work hard."

Lu Chenyang said, "When you go out this time, I will assign you a manager. You should also learn to read from him. If you can read, there will only be benefits in the future."

Yu Dayong looked miserable, but still nodded in agreement: "Yes, I will listen to you, sir."

Lord Lu would never harm him, so he would definitely be right to listen to Lord Lu.

With the silver brought back by Yu Dayong, Lu Chenyang started to collect labor service again.

Shen An felt like the sky was falling.

But Shen An had no choice but to change his clothes and go to perform labor service. This time it was building a house, which was a little easier than before.

The uncle and nephew went out together, Shen An went to build a house, and Shen Yihuan went to the pharmaceutical factory.

Shen An was extremely envious.

Winter is coming, and the Youwuyuan needs to be built as soon as possible. Then Lu Chenyang went to arrange other matters.

We will count the homeless children and elderly people living alone, and after the count is completed, they will be admitted to the orphanage.

Moreover, Youwuyuan also needs someone to manage and care for it, but Lu Chenyang has no one available.

It's not something that can be done just by saying it. The most important thing is that you have to be able to read.

This is not easy to find. This time, the accountant that Lu Chenyang found for Yu Dayong was someone he shamelessly went to Shen Shiqian to borrow.

Lu Chenyang had no one available and was extremely anxious.

When Shen Yihuan came to report to Lu Chenyang about the pharmaceutical factory, he saw that he looked troubled.

"Is there anything bothering you, Lord Lu?" Shen Yihuan asked curiously.

Lu Chenyang said, "There's no manager who can read." He sighed, "It would be great if there was someone like Miss Shen who can read, is careful, and can keep accounts."

He sighed sincerely, and Shen Yihuan curled the corners of his lips with a look of pride.

She thought for a moment and said, "Sir, we have several promising students in our pharmaceutical factory who are doing well. They are eager to learn, smart, and learn quickly and well. If you need them, why not let them try?"

After all, working anywhere is working. If Lu Chenyang needs it, he can manage the orphanage.

Lu Chenyang's eyes lit up: "That's great, let them come over and try!"

Shen Yihuan was very happy and asked someone to come over to interview Lu Chenyang.
