At that time, Xie Changgui somehow caught the eye of the commune secretary and became the commune's scorekeeper.
Although Xie Dahong was in the army, he was so far away in Sichuan Province that he had no connection with them.
At that time, Xie Dahong was not yet a division commander, and in fact he was not considered a high-ranking official.
The current officials are not as good as the current managers. They dare not offend Xie Changgui. Many people know that Xie Changgui has cheated Xie Dahong, but few people are willing to stand up and speak for him.
Xie Wan didn't mention anyone else, but those people of the older generation still felt a little ashamed in their hearts.
Xie Wan continued, “Before I came back this time, my dad had no intention of taking out this agreement.
But I was also worried that my brother and I would be bullied after returning to the village and wouldn’t even have a place to live.
He told us that if our third uncle would keep us here out of consideration for our family ties, then we shouldn't mention this matter.
If you don't even want to keep us, let me take care of it.
The house can be taken back, but we definitely won’t live in it. However, these blue brick houses are quite large and can be donated to the village to be used as classrooms for the school.”
Suddenly, the crowd went wild again!
Changgen actually wants to donate this house to the village to be used as a school?
You have to know that there is still no school in Xiejia Village. Children have to go to town to go to school, which means they have to walk ten miles every day!
If there is a school in the village, then wouldn’t all the children in the village be able to go to school?
Xie Juncai was also excited.
He became the team leader because he wanted to bring benefits to the village.
It's not that he hadn't thought about setting up a school, but he didn't have the conditions.
He anxiously pulled Xie Wan aside and asked, "Xiao Wan, is this true? Are you willing to donate this house to be used as a school?
What about the teacher? Forget it, I'll figure it out."
Xie Wan smiled and said: "When I go back, my dad will write a letter to an old retired comrade in the Zhangzhou Education Commission, asking him to arrange for two teachers to be sent to the village.
My father also said that our Xie family used to be a prominent family that passed down poetry and etiquette, but now there are few people in the village who can read, which is very shameful.
We must take care of our children’s education.”
In fact, this idea was thought of by Xie Wan himself.
She discussed it with Xie Dahong before coming, and of course Xie Dahong agreed.
Being an official but not returning to your hometown is like wearing fine clothes and walking at night, how boring.
If he could donate a school to his hometown village, his name, Xie Dahong, would definitely be recorded prominently in the family tree.
This would bring honor to our family, so of course I agreed.
But what Xie Wan was thinking was that in this way, she would establish a close relationship with the Xie family.
Wouldn't it be much easier for her to investigate the past of the Xie family?
Everyone in the village agreed to this proposal, including Xie Changshou.
They all have children in their family and can all benefit from it.
However, Xie Changgui would definitely object.
He shouted, "This is my home, what kind of school is this?
If you want to build it, let Xie Changgen use his own money to build it. Why donate it to my house?"
But at this time, how could his words count?
Xie Juncai was the first to get angry. He pointed at Xie Changgui and said, "What do you mean by your home? When you split up, your home was on the downhill side.
You sold your own house and occupied someone else's Changgen's house.
I don't care, you have to move out.
Changgen donated this house to the village, so it is public property.
If you dare to occupy public property, I will arrest your entire family and send them to labor camps!"
Oh no, now no matter how much Xie Changgui and his family make a fuss, it’s useless.
This was also what Xie Wan had thought of a long time ago.
There is really no use for Xie Dahong's family to have this house, and they can't manage it either.
Even if they succeeded in driving Xie Changgui out, Xie Changgui's family would still take back the place as soon as they left. It would be meaningless.
It’s different if it’s donated to build a school. It’s public property, he can’t just seize it, right?
If this house is left to Xie Changgui, he will be able to take advantage of it alone, and he will not remember the kindness of Xie Dahong's family.
If we give it to Xiejia Village to be used as a school, there will always be a few people with conscience in the village who will think of their family, right?
Moreover, as a descendant of the Xie family, if the ancestor of the Xie family knew about it, he would probably be happy, right?
While the quarrel was going on here, Xie Wan's fourth aunt Xie Xiaoling had already rushed over with her little daughter.
Xie Xiaoling is also fifty years old and comes from the neighboring Changqiao Village, which is some distance away.
When he heard that Lao Liu's child had returned, he hurried over to pick him up, sweating all over his forehead.
As soon as she arrived at her third brother's house, she saw so many people gathered around. She thought something had happened and shouted anxiously, "Make way, Sister Yuexiang, please make way, Uncle Fugui, please make way, I want to go in and pick up my nephews and nieces..."
The villagers all knew Xie Xiaoling, and they all made way for her. Some even said to her, "Xiaoling, your father Changgen donated this house to the village to be used as a school!"
After hearing the news, Xie Xiaoling was confused and finally squeezed into the yard.
She saw the three Xie Wan siblings, rushed forward, grabbed Xie Yuanchao and asked, "Is that Yuanchao? I'm your fourth aunt, do you remember me?"
When you were a kid, you lived in my house and wet the bed. Your urine was just like the Dragon King sprinkling water...
At that time I said, when you grow up, you will definitely be a majestic man! "
Xie Yuanchao was so embarrassed that he wanted to ascend to heaven on the spot.
