Chapter 184 Self-reliance and self-help

Lin Jinyan smiled amiably, but his words were full of temptation, like the whisper of a devil: "So think about it, you only need to work hard for three years to get so much, which is more than enough to buy a house for your son and marry him off. Do you want to consider this transaction?"

Wang Xiaocao's mother stood up excitedly and said, "It's really a big deal."

"So what should you do now?"

"I, I, I'm going home, Xiaocao. Mom will cook meat for you today, and I won't force you to go to school in the future." She hugged Wang Xiaocao excitedly, but Wang Xiaocao felt cold all over when she looked at her mother's greedy eyes.

The woman's face froze when she saw Wang Xiaocao's cold eyes. Just as she was about to lose her temper, Lin Jianyan spoke.

"Look, because of your usual behavior, your daughter doesn't even love you anymore. You have to treat her well in the future. There is no such thing as an overnight hatred between mother and daughter. If you treat her well, she will treat you well in the future. After you get married, she will be loyal to her parents, right?"

The woman's expression paused, and when she realized that this was indeed the case, she pretended to soften her expression. Perhaps because she had never been so humble before, the expression on her face looked strange.

"Cao'er, I was wrong before. I will treat you well in the future. You can't be an ungrateful person."

Wang Xiaocao stared at the woman in front of him, and when her expression gradually stiffened, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "Mom, I know, as long as you treat me well, I will definitely respect you well in the future."

The woman finally relaxed, but she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said a few more nonsense words and left.

Perhaps because the conversation between the two was somewhat shocking, Principal Zhou and Teacher Zhao were unable to react for a while.

Lin Jianyan looked at the frail 15-year-old girl and asked, "Did you hear what I just said? Do you think I am also a bad person?"

Wang Xiaocao shook her head, her eyes clear, "You are not a bad person, you saved me, I know you did it to buy me time and gain benefits."

Lin Jianyan's eyes softened. "Actually, what I just said was not right. When you grow up, you don't just have to get married. You can become whoever you want to be."

"I've bought you some time. You have to study hard and become stronger, because this deadline only lasts until you graduate from college. If you still don't have the ability, your family will still cling to you and suck your blood dry."

"And then if they find out that things aren't what they thought, you might end up in a worse situation."

Wang Xiaocao nodded firmly, "I will. I will study hard, I will try to fly higher, and I will try not to let them catch me."

Lin Jianyan was very pleased that Wang Xiaocao was so sensible, which meant that he had not saved the wrong person. He patted Huang Xiaocao on the shoulder and said, "Okay, go back to class."

Wang Xiaocao bowed to them respectfully, turned and left. The sunlight shone on her slightly thin but straight back, as if welcoming her new life.

From then on, Wang Xiaocao cooperated with her family on the surface, pretending to be cowardly and obedient, making them feel that they had her under control.

She began to study very hard, absorbing all knowledge more diligently than before. While others learned 70%, she wanted to learn 100%, just to be able to break free from the family relationship that was entangled by interests in the future.

After he left, Lin Jianyan turned to Principal Zhou and said, "Then we can talk about investment now."

Principal Zhou was full of emotion when he heard Lin Jianyan's words. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Teacher Zhao, "Teacher Zhao, you should go to class first."

As soon as Teacher Zhao left, Principal Zhou immediately looked at Lin Jianyan with a smile on his face: "Boss Lin, go ahead."

Lin Jianyan looked at the empty playground outside and said, "I have a general understanding of the school's situation. I will invest 100,000 yuan in you every year. This money must be used for school construction and students."

"I can subsidize three poor students in each grade, but they must meet the standards. As the principal, I believe you should be more familiar with this condition."

Hearing this amount, Principal Zhou's hands were shaking with excitement. He immediately stood up from his chair and stared at Lin Jianyan with burning eyes, "Are you really willing to invest 100,000 a year!?"

Principal Zhou's face was filled with disbelief, and his voice unconsciously rose a few notches.

He really didn't expect the other party to be so generous. Although he knew that the other party must be a rich man, he really didn't expect him to be so generous.

Let alone 100,000 yuan, before this, he thought that he would be thankful if he had 10,000 yuan. With 10,000 yuan, he could buy new desks and chairs for the students, and maybe even have some money left over to buy notebooks and pencils.

Seeing Lin Jianyan nod, Principal Zhou patted his chest excitedly and guaranteed: "Boss Lin, don't worry, as long as you are willing to invest, I will immediately draft a contract and guarantee fairness, justice and legality!"

Lin Jianyan smiled gently, "I also went through a period of poverty while studying. Now that I have the ability, I will definitely give back to my motherland. After all, children are our hope."

Principal Zhou's eyes were slightly red, and his admiration was beyond words. "Your kindness will surely plant the seeds of hope in the hearts of the children. The school will definitely use the funds properly and live up to your expectations."

"Okay, then it's settled. You go and deal with the contract first. I won't be away for the next few days. When you're done, you can ask Zhao Fengjuan to pass on a message to me and I'll come back then."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there."

Principal Zhou respectfully escorted Lin Jinyan to the school gate. As he watched the black car disappear from his sight, he finally couldn't control his excitement and started dancing with joy.

Principal Zhou is indeed a rare and good principal. He also came from a poor family. Since he took office as the principal of this school, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to the cause of education.

In the past few years, in order to create a good educational image, the school was able to receive attention from senior leaders and the situation was still acceptable.

However, this is a rural school surrounded by poor families. After the implementation of the nine-year compulsory education, students do not have to pay tuition fees, and the authorities rarely intervene in other matters except for the monthly payment of teachers' salaries.

The school's funding is becoming increasingly tight, and several waves of teachers have already resigned due to poor pay. If this continues, the school may not be able to continue.

Fortunately, Principal Zhou finally got help. God is indeed merciful. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what would happen to the students around the school if the school closed down.

Girls may get married early, take care of their husbands and children, and be trapped in a small house, living a life of worry and hardship. Boys can only do some hard work, and their bodies are crushed early.
