Chapter 257 A Win-Win Solution

"I've made note of this. But opening a new class won't be done in a day or two. I have to screen them first."

There are about seventy children in the two classes. With so many children in the village, the village will definitely become lively.

The little kids had to be picked up and dropped off by people, going back and forth one after another, which definitely had an impact on the villagers.

No matter what, we should screen them first and weed out those with bad reputations. Even if we want to recruit new students, we should recruit those who are easy to get along with.

Zhou He and the others nodded. They didn't expect to get this done in a few days. There was still a lot of preparation to be done before the class started. If Yin Huaishan hadn't suddenly mentioned it today, they would have written a plan and would have gone to see the old village chief in three to five days.

But now that it has been mentioned, the result is good.

Anyway, they were satisfied as long as the old village chief nodded.

The three of them chatted for a few more words before parting.

The old village chief quietly walked between the two shifts, and he didn't catch any little troublemakers today. He watched for a long time and found that the children were all listening to the instructions. Especially his grandson, who stood straight and looked like a good student.

Not bad, not bad, it's getting better and better.

The old village chief felt that he had absorbed enough literary energy. He walked to the door dazed and sat down, and talked to the third brother about what the two masters had just said.

"Third brother, I have already agreed to open a new class. Do you think I am a little too impulsive?"

Master Lian San was weaving a backpack. He pulled a strip of bamboo and gently threw it to the old village chief.

"You've already agreed, why are you still talking about this?"

"Well, I also want to keep them in the village. You don't know how many people out there want to poach them at a high price. We only pay 500 coins a month, which is too little. Master Yin is short of money now, so it's not a big deal for them to open two more shifts."

Even the third master shook his head.

"They want to add two more shifts for money, but they also want to add two more shifts for money. You're missing the point."

The old village chief was very upset after hearing this.

"Just make your point clear and stop beating around the bush. You're still acting so arrogant after just a few days of classes."

"Well... well, I accidentally overheard their conversation yesterday."

Master Lian San simply summarized what Yin Huaishan and Zhou He had said yesterday at noon and told them to his brothers.

After hearing this, the old village chief was filled with admiration for the two men.

They are indeed worthy of being called masters, with broad minds. This time, I have underestimated them.

"I'm going to go back and discuss this with my eldest brother. If we're going to do it, let's do it better. Open two more classes, and give half of the profit to the two teachers. For the other half, let's discuss how to help the children."

Mr. Lian nodded.

"Go and discuss it among yourselves. Remember to let me know when you're done."

Hearing this, the old village chief was moved.

He hadn't seen the third brother interested in anything for a long time. Recently, he volunteered to come to the school to guard the school and was very concerned about what was going on in the school.

"Third brother, why don't you adopt a child? I remember there is a Salesian Church in the city, there are orphans there, you can go and adopt one."

There were several snapping sounds, and a few bamboo strips came over as if they were disobedient. The old village chief immediately patted his butt and left.

"If you don't want to, forget it. Why are you hitting me?"

Even the third brother snorted softly.

He would never adopt a child. He would only raise his wife's children in his lifetime.

What a pity...

A gleam of light flashed across Mr. Lian San's eyes, but soon disappeared.

————————————————

As the morning sun rose higher and higher, the villagers became busy again.

Seeing that the tide was about to recede, Jiang Wan quickly packed up her things and went to join the silver beads.

Today they are going out to sea by boat to catch fish on a distant deserted island.

Originally there were no silver beads, but by coincidence, the boat Jiang Wan rented happened to belong to Xiaoshan's family.

Recently, Yinzhu's grandmother has been keeping a close eye on her for some reason and comes to visit her from time to time.

Because of this, Xiaoshan hasn't had a good talk with Yinzhu for almost ten days.

When Jiang Wan rented a boat, Xiao Shan immediately took the opportunity to ask her to bring Silver Pearl with her. With Jiang Wan along, he would be fine even if someone saw him on the same boat.

It was just a matter of bringing someone along, and Yinzhu was familiar with him, so Jiang Wan agreed without much hesitation.

Xiaoshan's father is on the same boat, and the two of them can't do anything wrong, so let them meet and talk. Jiang Wan will help if she can.

Although the villagers couldn't see anything about this, Lian Dahai was no fool.

Xiaoshan, this kid, had lost interest in going out to sea a long time ago. This time when Jiang Wan came to rent a boat, he pulled someone away mysteriously and said something, but when he came back, he was very happy. He even begged me to take him out to sea and teach him how to row a boat.

At first he didn't understand what his son was up to, until he saw the little girl next to Jiang Wan, he immediately understood.

Silver beads...

It turns out that my son likes her...

This boy is really good at hiding things.

Even the sea pretended not to know and silently steered the boat to the agreed destination.

After so many years of fishing, rowing has become an instinct.

Lian Dahai was rowing the boat, listening to the conversation of two little girls in the cabin, and thinking about his son's marriage.

Xiaoshan could have started a family a long time ago, and Yinzhu is also old enough to get married. However, Yinzhu had said before that she would take care of her brother until he was ten years old before getting married.

At that time, Xiaoshan was already in his twenties.

It’s too late…

The old father feels that he owes his son, and now that his son has a lover, of course he has to help him.

Yinzhu is a kind-hearted girl. After her parents passed away, she took care of her younger brother alone and managed the household very well.

My son has a very good vision.

The difficulty now is that Yinzhu has made a promise before, and we can't let her be a traitor.

Hey!

That's not right.

Why should we assume that getting married is a betrayal? Can't we get married and still take care of her brother?

Anyway, we have enough food for Jinbao, and we can build another house.

It's not that difficult.

After Xiaoshan and Yinzhu got married, they brought Jinbao home and took care of him in the same way. When Jinbao grew up, he could live back home if he wanted to.

How nice.

Lian Dahai slapped his thigh excitedly, thinking that he was really a smart man.

The boat rocked due to his sudden excitement.

Xiaoshan immediately walked out of the cabin to check.

"Dad, are you okay?"

"What can I do? I'm fine."

Lian Dahai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at his son. This time he could help him solve a big problem. This kid would definitely be very happy when he returned home.

Xiaoshan: “…”

Is Dad really okay?

Why does he keep squeezing his eyes?

So strange...
