Chapter 409 A forced melon is not sweet
“Ahhhh!”
Zhao Dashan covered his left hand which was broken by Xu Ping'an and rolled on the ground in pain.
The people watching on the side shuddered.
They all thought that Madam Xu was just talking and didn't dare to actually break anyone's hand.
But when Xu Ping'an broke Zhao Dashan's hand without blinking, they realized that the Xu family would not joke with them.
They mean business.
This scene made many people with ulterior motives put away their thoughts instantly. They are all ruthless people and must not be provoked!
And through this incident, people from all over the surrounding area knew that the Xu family was not to be trifled with.
When the Xu family starts fighting, they will definitely not be polite to you.
Lin Mo walked towards Zhao Dashan, who was shouting heartbreakingly, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips:
"Zhao Dashan, you really can't blame others!
It is your own greed that harms you.
I gave you the opportunity to regret, but you didn't cherish it. You only cared about money and nothing else.
So, this hand is a lesson for you.”
Having said that, Lin Mo pointed at the waterwheel behind him and sneered:
"If this waterwheel is built, will it only benefit our Xu family? Don't you have any benefits?
Don’t these water ditches pass near your land?
Are you sure that when water flows near your land, you will not use it to irrigate your crops?
Now you're using this to blackmail me. Zhao Dashan, I didn't take your life, I only took your hand. You should be thankful."
Zhao Dashan was in so much pain at this moment that he had no energy to speak.
And he was scared too!
He didn't dare to provoke the Xu family again. The Xu family was cruel and ruthless, and they were really capable of doing cruel things. He was afraid that if he provoked them again, they would break his neck without hesitation!
Zhao Dashan, sweating profusely from the pain, didn't dare to stay here any longer. He covered his wound and got up from the ground in a panic, then stumbled towards Zhaojia Village.
He was afraid that if he ran a step too late, he would be killed by the Xu family.
Lin Mo did not stop him. She looked at Zhao Dashan's back with cold eyes:
“If anyone dares to blackmail my Xu family again in the future, don’t blame me for being rude.
If you think your neck is harder than this rock, feel free to provoke my Xu family and try. "
After saying that, Lin Mo picked up a stone that was twice as big as her fist from the ground, and then exerted force.
With a snap, the stone was crushed by her.
As soon as she loosened her grip, gravel began to fall.
The faces of the onlookers changed instantly.
sky!
She could actually crush stones with her bare hands, so what if she crushed her own head...
Everyone succeeded in getting a cold shoulder again.
So scary!
Many people left cautiously out of fear.
As soon as they saw someone leaving, the others followed suit, and soon only people from the Xu family were left around.
The little incident just now did not affect Lao Song and others.
At this time, Lao Song and others were excited.
Now that the water is brought up, they can do a lot less work, such as carrying water!
You know, if they carry water from the river to irrigate the crops, they won't be able to irrigate much in a day, and they will be exhausted.
Now, with the time saved, they can do more things.
So there was joy and yearning on the faces of Lao Song and others.
Old Song walked towards Wuyou excitedly, "Master Wuyou, thank you so much.
With this waterwheel, we can save a lot of effort. You have helped us a lot. You are our great benefactor."
Wuyou looked proud and said, "That's more like it. I thought you would thank Linmo."
Too many people ignore their contributions.
Old Song was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "Master Wuyou, you are our hero, I must thank you first.
But we also have to thank the young lady."
Then he thanked Lin Mo!
Now in this vast land, they see hope.
Lin Mo shook her head at him and said, "With this waterwheel, you can use the time you save to open up more wasteland and plant other crops.
If the harvest is good, we won’t starve in the winter.”
Old Song nodded solemnly.
Wuyou on the side shook his head in disgust, "You guys keep chatting, I'm tired, I'm going to go back and rest."
As he spoke, he supported his old waist and walked slowly forward.
From the way he walks, you can tell that he has a problem with his waist.
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.
When we get back later, we have to ask Doctor Mu to check on Wuyou.
Yan Shi nodded apologetically to Lin Mo, then trotted forward and held Wuyou's arm:
"Uncle, let me help you!"
Lin Mo watched this scene with a smile, she turned her head to look at Lao Song and others:
"Let's all go back and rest. We've been busy all day and must be tired!"
Everyone nodded and dispersed.
Lao Song was about to leave with everyone, but when he thought of his wife's situation, he quickly turned around and asked Lin Mo.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then a hint of apology appeared on his face:
"It's all my fault for not explaining clearly. I made your wife worry!"
Having said that, Lin Mo coughed lightly and said seriously:
"These children are still young and have no one to look after them at home. Taking them to the fields won't help much and they may even be in danger.
So I want to build a school so that all these children can study there.
The schools not only taught them to read, but also other skills, such as accounting and medical skills."
Lin Mo paused after speaking, and looked at Lao Song seriously:
"I didn't discuss this matter with you, I just made the decision on my own.
When you go back, you can ask them if they are willing to send their children to school to learn.
Don't worry, your children don't have to spend a penny to go to school, and there is no compulsion, it is entirely up to their own wishes."
A forced melon is not sweet.
Old Song smiled widely and shook his head. "Only a fool would be unwilling. There's no need to ask them about this. I can give the young lady an answer right now. I agree!"
This is a great thing, only a fool would push it away.
Instead of teaching literacy, let’s talk about accounting.
If a child learns to do accounting, it is better for him to be an accountant than a peasant!
Lin Mo smiled and shook her head, "You don't have to answer me so quickly, go back and ask for their opinions.
If they are willing, let them all stay at home tomorrow and I will send someone to teach them how to read.
As for the school, it may not be built so quickly, I have to find a good place first."
…
After talking to Lao Song about some things, Lin Mo took Xu Pingan and the others away.
When she got home, Xu Wuyan had already returned.
After Lin Mo asked someone to invite Doctor Mu, she told Xu Wuyan about her idea of setting up a school.
Xu Wuyan raised an eyebrow, “Of course, ma’am.
I haven't even started yet, you've already started, ma'am you're awesome!"
Lin Mo, “…”
The tone is like coaxing a child. She is a child, does she need him to coax her?
Lin Mo shook his head, looking serious:
"I just want to train a group of people for our own use and open a school. It will also be a good deed that will benefit the local people. It's worth doing!"
There is no school in the surrounding area.
"Yeah." Xu Wuyan nodded:
"Madam, do you have any gentleman to recommend?"
"No, this is exactly what I wanted to ask you." Lin Mo looked at Xu Wuyan seriously:
“Who do you think will educate these children?
And I have a bold idea, do you want to hear it, Old Xu?"
Seeing Xu Wuyan's attentive look, Lin Mo chuckled:
"Our school's purpose is not to teach students about the imperial examinations, but to teach them about literacy. So I thought we could find more people to teach them practical things, such as arithmetic, martial arts, and medicine.
In this way, we can see what the children are good at and teach them accordingly.
Once these children have achieved academic success, they will surely become leaders in their area. Moreover, if they are willing to work for us, we won’t have to look for other people to do the work for us.”
The most important thing is that we know the people we train ourselves well and can use them with confidence.
As for the people we find outside, we have no idea about their background, so we can’t trust them at all.”
"I think it's okay." Xu Wuyan's eyes were so soft that they could drip tears.
"Madam, you are so thoughtful. Madam, how can you be so great? You are so amazing.
"Until we find a teacher, we can ask Uncle Peng to teach them first. Uncle Peng can teach them the basics without any problem. As for the others, we can find someone later."
"Yeah!" Lin Mo nodded, then stood up:
"Then you go to sleep first, Old Xu, and don't wait for me.
I'll go talk to Uncle Peng about this, and then I'll go to the study to look at the map and see where it's suitable to build a school!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
But when he turned around, Xu Wuyan grabbed his wrist.
"Madam." Xu Wuyan stood up and looked at her innocently:
"You plan to leave me alone in this long night?"
Lin Mo blushed and argued:
"I have something..."
"No, you're fine! We can deal with those things tomorrow, and now it's time to go to bed!" Xu Wuyan's voice became hoarse.
He pulled Lin Mo into his arms with force.
Lin Mo, who was completely unprepared, was pulled right into the air by him and crashed heavily into his chest.
Lin Mo's face turned even redder when she bumped into his strong chest.
"Madam, you don't speak, are you afraid of me?"
Lin Mo blushed, "Who...who is afraid of you!"
"Well, Madam, don't be afraid. Then don't beg for mercy tonight!" Xu Wuyan lifted her up and whispered in her ear:
"Ma'am, I just love seeing you begging for mercy!"
