The village head of Lijiazhuang is having a headache right now. He wishes he could leave immediately because of Old Lady Li's family, which has damaged the village's reputation. As the village head, he is having a real problem.
"I……"
Han Qiang's family really didn't have a thousand cartloads of grain. Lately, they'd been planting sweet potatoes and such; they certainly didn't have corn like that.
"Wait a moment, I'll have someone bring the grain out for you right away."
Han Luoxue went back first, followed closely by Han Yuchen.
Back in the basement, Han Luoxue took out a thousand catties of corn. Of course, this corn wasn't top quality; ordinary quality would suffice.
Han Yuchen picked up a bag and carried it out. Han Qiang also hurriedly called for people to come in and help carry it. Soon, a thousand catties of corn were moved to the door.
The villagers of Lijia Village were overjoyed to see so much grain.
Old Mrs. Li swallowed hard. Although she hadn't gotten a big fat pig, which was a loss, the thousand catties of grain would be enough to support her family for another two years.
"The food is here, take it!"
Han Luoxue said nonchalantly, and the village head of Lijiazhuang quickly ordered people to put the grain on the cart, and the group left in a grand procession.
After everyone from Lijiazhuang had left, the people from Hutouya Village began to speak: "We shouldn't have given them so much!"
"What kind of crap is this?"
"But now, Han Qiang is finally free."
Li Aidi didn't want to leave at first, but Old Lady Li grabbed her arm and called a few people from the village, who then forcibly dragged her away.
Before leaving, she tried to commit suicide. She ran towards the stone pillar in front of Han Mingyuan's house, but just before she reached it, she fell to the ground with a thud.
Han Luoxue waved to Han Yuze, and the little guy came running over.
"elder sister."
"Did you do that just now? What did you use?"
She only made a rough estimate and didn't actually see it.
“I hit her with a pebble, I hit her on the calf.”
Upon hearing this, everyone remembered that Li Aidi had inexplicably fallen down just now.
So it was Han Yuze who made the call.
"You've got a pretty good aim, kid."
Although it wasn't very far, it's already quite good that a child could accurately reach the destination.
She turned to look at Han Yuchen beside her and said, "How about you try teaching this kid archery sometime?"
"You can give it a try!"
Archery requires talent. This kid has a good aim; he might actually be cut out for it.
"Yu Chen is going to teach archery? It's the same whether you teach one or two, why don't you let my son try it too?"
An older woman said eagerly, and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this, and they all stepped forward wanting their children to try it too.
Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Han Luoxue suddenly had an idea.
Most of the people in this village are kind. Even when my family was in dire straits, many people offered a helping hand. Although their lives weren't easy either, and everyone was hungry, some people still managed to squeeze out some food from their own rations to help me.
Now that life is a bit better, she wants to help the villagers.
"I think it's a good idea, but archery and such require talent. Let Yu Chen test the children later. Those who have talent can learn, and those who don't shouldn't be forced."
Han Luoxue's words made sense, and no one dared to say anything more. However, some people still looked disappointed. Whether the child had talent or not was entirely up to Han Yuchen.
"The most important thing in archery is accuracy; without accuracy, no amount of practice will help. However, if you want your child to be successful, archery isn't the only path. Now that everyone has some free time, I suggest setting up a simple school in the village so that children, or adults who have the time and interest, can attend classes and learn to read. It won't do any harm for everyone."
Recognizing characters? Upon hearing this, everyone's enthusiasm flared even higher.
You know, children from wealthy families in the city can all read. But how many children in the countryside can read? Every family is struggling financially. Sending a child to a private school requires paying tuition; where would they get the money?
But now that Han Luoxue says she can teach children to read in the village, who wouldn't be tempted?
"Snow Girl, this is a good thing. Everyone can take some food to give to the teacher who teaches us to read."
Han Qiang immediately agreed.
"No need for that. I can just start by exchanging ideas with Brother Yuchen."
She has enough food, and now that she's in poor health, she can't do any heavy work, but she can still teach the children to read.
"This... isn't right." Han Luoxue has already helped the villagers a lot; they can't keep taking advantage of Han Luoxue.
"Let's give it a try first. I don't know if we can teach it well."
No one expected that not only would they have a meal of meat today, but they would also have such a good thing happen.
"Xue girl, you can definitely teach her well. And Yuchen, I believe in you too."
Han Qiang said excitedly that today was a day of triple joy for him.
Having completely gotten rid of Li Aidi, Han Yuchen teaches the village children archery, and Han Luoxue wants to teach the children to read.
Such a good thing, let alone the nearby villages, how many villages in the whole country can do the same?
Han Qiang felt his back straighten up again.
"Xue girl, Yuchen, on behalf of the children in the village, thank you."
Han Qiang bowed to the two of them, but Han Yuchen and Han Ruoxue quickly avoided him, as they dared not accept such a gesture.
"As for the grain, I will return it to you as soon as possible next year."
Upon hearing that she was to return the grain, Han Ruoxue hurriedly waved her hand: "Grandpa Village Head, no need, really no need."
She was planning to take back the grain, so it would just go through Old Lady Li's hands once.
Based on her limited understanding of Old Lady Li, she knew that the old woman would definitely not be willing to share the spoils with the villagers immediately.
She'll go and fetch the grain tonight. Han Ruoxue wants to see how Old Lady Li will explain things to the villagers tomorrow.
"Snow Girl, you've already helped me so much, this grain..."
"I will pay you back as soon as possible. When the harvest is better next year, Grandpa will pay you back first."
Han Qiang wasn't deliberately making excuses; a typical family wouldn't even have a thousand catties of surplus grain in a year.
He paid a bloody price to separate from Li Aidi.
"Grandpa Han Qiang, really, there's no need. Let me put it this way: although the grain has been given to her temporarily, they can't keep it. Don't you trust me? I'll bring all the grain back later."
Han Qiang stared in astonishment. Could it really be done like that? He thought it would be extremely difficult. Old Mrs. Li was the kind of person who only took things in and never gave them out. Once the goods were in her hands, not a single grain of rice would be seen.
However, he had witnessed Han Luoxue's abilities before, so he should be able to get it back, right?
"Just pretend you don't know anything about this. I will bring all the grain back intact. Don't worry too much."
Han Qiang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"If you can't get it back, you must tell me. Grandpa won't let you suffer."
