Chapter 136: Setting up a School
The implication of Qi's words is very strong.
Luo Shuyu's face turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Did her mother know what she was doing?
Lin Mo's cold and ruthless words were still ringing in her ears, and she had to admit that she was really scared.
He dared to throw himself on the ground like this today, I'm afraid he will throw himself into the river next time.
Luo Shuyu wanted to marry Lin Mo and live with him in luxury, a big house and endless money, but she didn't want to risk her life for it.
Pressed by Qi, she cried even harder: "No! I don't know what happened. I fainted at the door of the house."
No matter what Qi asked, she gritted her teeth and said just this.
Qi was so angry that he cursed her a few times: "You useless thing, just like your father!"
Boss Luo, who was completely confused about the situation, vaguely felt that the mother and daughter seemed to be playing some kind of riddle that he didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask.
Luo Shuyu finally caught a cold because of this. He had a stuffy nose, runny nose, and dizziness. He lay there drowsy and weak.
Qi cursed the coward countless times and was so angry that she wanted to settle the score with Lin Mo and the Zhao family. However, she had no evidence to prove her wrongdoing and had to endure it.
Since I am planning to go to Hainan Island soon, I have to make some arrangements at home.
When the time comes, they will tell others that they went into the mountains to hunt. Anyway, their family does not have much contact with outsiders in their daily lives. As long as their family members help to cover it up, nothing will happen.
Zhao Liya, Hu Ling, and Yu Xiaofang will go to Hainan Island with Zhou Hansheng and others. Lin Mo is a newlywed, and the family must have someone who is strong enough in martial arts and calm and rational enough to keep order, and Lin Mo is just the right person.
In addition to Zhao Xiang, Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village, Zhong Jing will also make arrangements with his trusted deputies. If there are any problems that cannot be solved here, they can go to the military camp for help, and he will do his best.
Qu Yutao and Shu Yan know how to manage various production matters and avoid chaos.
Such a logic is appropriate.
Besides, Zhao Liya and her team are expected to be back within a month, or no later than one and a half months. Whether it is sugarcane, potatoes, or sweet potatoes, they can all be planted after they return.
Now that she has a lot of money on hand, Zhao Liya would like to buy some more land. She will also find a way to go to the provincial capital and buy a few shops.
There is no need to rush to buy land. After all, even if you buy land now, you won’t be able to get so many potato seeds or sugarcane seeds. It won’t be too late to wait until she comes back from Hainan Island.
Zhao Xiang had nothing to do, so he discussed with Zhao Liya and Hu Ling about building a school to teach children.
Seeing the older children in the village going up the mountains and down the fields to help with housework, and the younger ones running around and playing wildly, often fighting, and sometimes even the adults quarreling because of the conflicts between the children, Zhao Xiang really felt a little bit sorry.
If they could read and write and understand things, they could have a better future with more possibilities, instead of being like they are now, confused and homeless like their ancestors, with nothing else in their minds except the work in the fields.
Generation after generation remains so vulgar and ignorant.
Now that he was here, he felt that he should do something.
"Before, my family wasn't well off, so I couldn't bring this up. But now that we have more money, I want to discuss this with you, Ya'er and A'ling. After all, this money is earned by you. Building a school costs money, and running it will also cost money. I'm afraid the villagers can't come up with it."
"But then I thought, this is a good thing to do. First, it will accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Second, our Zhao family's reputation will definitely be improved, and it will be of some use to your career."
Hu Ling nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "Godfather, you are right. I agree, and Aya will definitely not object."
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Of course I agree! I originally had this idea, but I didn't say it because I was afraid Dad would be tired. Since Dad also means this, then it's naturally great! Dad was wrong about one thing. This money is not only earned by us, but also by Dad. If it weren't for Dad, whether it was Zaihu Village or Bajiao Village, how could the headmen and clan leaders trust my brother and me so easily? I don't know how much more trouble would have been caused! With Dad around, not only does it save a lot of trouble, it also reduces a lot of trouble."
Hu Ling nodded vigorously: "Aya is absolutely right, absolutely right!"
Zhao Xiang couldn't help but burst out laughing, sighing inwardly. These two children were truly sensible.
How had he helped? Even as a "parent," his usefulness was limited. Even without him, they might have faced more troubles, but he believed they could still do a good job.
They could understand him, that was the last thing on earth.
Setting up a school is indeed beneficial to the Zhao family and the villagers, killing two birds with one stone.
"Dad, I think the village head and clan leader of Zaihu Village have always wanted to invite you to be their teacher. Bajiao Village isn't familiar enough with us yet, but if they were, they would definitely have the same idea. In my opinion, there are not many people in Yan Village, and even if this school is established, it will be deserted. It would be better to build it somewhere that is about the same distance from Yan Village, Zaihu Village, and Bajiao Village. This way, it would be convenient for people from all three villages to go to school. If it's not in the village, there will be less interference, but Dad will have to go out for a walk every day."
The three villages were not far apart. Even if Zhao Xiang walked to school every day, it would only take him about ten minutes. It also took the children from other villages about ten to twenty minutes to walk to school.
Zhao Xiang was immediately delighted. "Great, great, Ya'er, this is the best idea! In that case, let's discuss it with Zaihu Village and Bajiao Village and build this school! I think it's not just these three villages. If there are students from other villages who are willing to attend the school, we'll welcome them too."
"Um!"
The three of them discussed for a while, thinking about the scale of the school, the number of buildings, and the size of the courtyard. Perhaps they would need to hire another teacher in the future, and they would have to provide him with accommodation, so they might as well build a separate small courtyard.
There is also the issue of tuition fees. They don't run the school to make money, so it doesn't matter if the tuition fees are waived.
But Zhao Liya said that no one cherishes free things, so it is better not to be free.
Of course, the amount they could collect was limited, just some food, chicken, duck, or meat would be fine.
In addition, the top five students in the annual exams can be exempted from all fees for the next year, and the school also provides pens, ink, paper, inkstone and books free of charge.
