Chapter 495 A Female Teacher Arrives

The group quickly cleaned the room before they could find a place to sit.

Wan Qiqi was settled in her seat by the three of them and watched them busy themselves.

Chen Yongliang then returned to the question he had asked at the restaurant, saying, "Sister-in-law, you still haven't told us what you're thinking?"

Wan Qiqi admired Chen Yongliang's persistence and his determination to get to the bottom of things.

But she decided to tell everyone what was on her mind.

“Your older brother is right. Mixing men and women together can easily attract gossip, but it’s not impossible in the future.”

She immediately agreed with their point of view and continued, "It is already difficult for the world to accept that women study. If we start with mixed genders, it will definitely not work. Therefore, we should start with women."

Wan Qiqi believes that as long as what she is doing now is recognized by the world, Taoran will definitely change in the future. Will she still be afraid that the children will not have a school to attend?

The current prejudice against women and the poor is that the best resources are given to the rich, which makes the poor even poorer.

She opened this school not to make money, but to equip people with the ability to make money.

They changed their lives, and those who know how to be grateful will surely turn around and thank her, the pioneer.

"Sister Qi, now that we have a place, where are we going to find students and teachers?" Wu Gousheng asked a crucial question.

“Students are everywhere. As long as we get this place sorted out, people will naturally come looking for us. If one comes, another will follow. Why should we be afraid of not having students?” Wan Qiqi said.

There are many girls in the town who want to study, and as long as they can convince their parents, they won't have to worry about their children's education.

“As for the tutor, I have someone in mind. However… I may need to inquire further.” Wan Qiqi was initially quite confident about Tao Jing’s situation, but after meeting with Headman Tao, she became somewhat hesitant.

The Tao family is a rather traditional family, so Tao Ran's wife almost always stays at home and doesn't go out unless necessary.

But Tao Ran's thinking was different from his, and he raised his younger sister differently as well.

Wan Qiqi felt that she had a pretty good chance, after all, Tao Ran said he would support her in the end!

“Sister-in-law, I think Miss Tao is a good candidate. How about... I ask her for you?” Chen Yongliang tentatively suggested.

Wan Qiqi glanced at him, thinking to herself that he wasn't really asking questions, but rather looking for an excuse to see his sweetheart since they hadn't seen each other in a long time!

"Sure! I'll leave this to you!" She smiled, her eyes holding a hint of something unreadable.

“This matter is no small thing. If it is publicized, it will definitely cause a great uproar and will also affect the reputation of the Tao family.” Chen Yongnian straightened up, looked at Wan Qiqi, and said, “If those who oppose us at Hefeng Academy find out, they will probably cause trouble.”

The questions Chen Yongnian pondered were also the questions Wan Qiqi pondered.

However, she had already come up with a plan, saying, "I know a few girls. As long as they know about this, there will be a steady stream of people coming. They want to study and won't let the matter leak out, causing themselves to lose this opportunity."

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Yongliang's eyes.

He hadn't expected his sister-in-law to be so cautious, having considered all the problems they had thought of and having corresponding countermeasures.

In comparison, he is really weak.

“But you still need to be wary of their families.” Chen Yongnian appeared unusually serious and earnest, not at all like a country bumpkin, but more like an official.

This fascinated Wan Qiqi for a time.

She felt like her development plan had succeeded!

Chen Yongnian has become completely different from before; he has his own thoughts and considers all aspects of what she wants to think about.

Listening to the conversation between the three men, Wan Qiqi decided to go out for a walk.

She had just stepped out of the main room when she heard three people shouting behind her.

Wu Gousheng: "Sister Qi, it's raining outside. You just recovered from your cold, don't get sick again!"

Chen Yongliang: "Sister-in-law, it's messy here, don't run around and trip!"

Chen Yongnian: "Be careful!"

Wan Qiqi: "..."

She suspected that the three men were treating her like a child.

She's such a grown woman, doesn't she know how to use an umbrella? Doesn't she know where she's going?

Wan Qiqi walked under the veranda, sighed twice, and noticed that there seemed to be someone standing at the entrance of the house.

If a house that has been sealed off for a long time suddenly opens its doors, neighbors who come and go will likely be curious and come to take a look.

With this in mind, Wan Qiqi decided to go out and build good relationships with her neighbors to facilitate the normal teaching at the school in the future.

As I approached, I discovered that the person handling the situation at the door was a middle-aged woman.

She was dressed simply and neatly, and instead of wearing a woman's hairstyle, she tied her hair into a bun like a man and secured it with a hairband.

A middle-aged woman stood quietly at the doorway, holding an umbrella, and it seemed she was also holding two books in her hands.

Wan Qiqi immediately dismissed her original thought and roughly determined the identity of the person in front of her.

She walked to the door, nodded in greeting, and asked, "Excuse me, sir, may I ask your name?"

The lady nodded in return, "Zhong Le, recommended by Headmaster Tao."

Wan Qiqi's eyes trembled.

She knew Tao Ran said he supported her, but she didn't expect him to show his support in this way.

Zhong Le's appearance solved Wan Qiqi's predicament in finding her teacher.

She quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong Le, I'm so sorry, I just arrived at the house today and haven't cleaned it yet. The girls' school is about to open, so it may be a few more days."

"It's alright, we can recruit more students these few days. Have you thought about how to manage it, how much the tuition will be, and how to arrange the school schedule?"

Zhong Le's words left Wan Qiqi stunned for a moment before she gave an awkward smile. "The arrangements for the school are determined by the teacher. I will pay you your monthly salary at the market rate."

She skipped the tuition fee.
