“Too much of a good thing,” Village Chief Huang shook his head. “Unless you can provide such good conditions every time, it’s better not to change too much.”
"It should be possible," Jiang Nuan tapped her chin. "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, I am capable of providing these conditions."
"You..." Village Chief Huang was speechless for a long time before finally speaking with a complicated expression, "Yaya, this is no small amount. With this money, Da Niu and Er Niu could study for several years. Besides, a small favor is appreciated, but a large favor is resented. If this continues, others will only take it for granted."
“I know,” Jiang Nuan said, revealing her plan. “This year, after the spring planting is over, I’ll find a way for everyone to make money together. Once the village has some spare money, I won’t put any more into it.”
She's not stupid; how could she keep using the family's money to fill this bottomless pit? Her idea is for everyone to become wealthy, so that she won't need to do anything more when everyone has money.
It's just a matter of doing the right thing at the right time. Even if there's a solution, you can't just bring it up rashly. There are too many things to consider. If you don't think things through, it's better to maintain the status quo.
"So that's what you think," Village Chief Huang looked at Jiang Nuan with more admiration in his eyes. After a long while, he asked strangely, "Are all you scholars so... so special?"
Actually, he really wanted to say "monster".
The two scholars he met were a clan chief who was aloof and cunning, and he had all sorts of tricks up his sleeve. He had thought that Ya Ya was just a little smart, but today he realized that she was thinking even more deeply than he, the village chief.
The more Village Chief Huang thought about it, the more he regretted not having gone to school!
If I had known, I would have shamelessly followed along and started studying.
"Special?" Jiang Nuan's face darkened. "What does this have to do with studying?"
Her ideological awareness is definitely a result of being influenced by the five-star red flag!
“Reading really helps people understand things and reason,” Village Chief Huang said with a hint of bitterness. “Why didn’t I read books back then?”
Actually, his family could afford to send him to school, but it would definitely make life difficult for them, and he didn't want to have to tighten his belt because of his family.
“Well,” Jiang Nuan sighed, “if you don’t mind, brother, once the school is built, you can go and study with us.”
“I’m so old, how can I learn to read with a bunch of kids?” Village Chief Huang put down his bowl and stood up. “Forget it, this is how my life is. I can’t think too much about it. Enough said, let’s get to work. If we old folks do more work, those kids will have less to do.”
After saying that, Village Chief Huang rolled up his sleeves and threw the sack over his shoulder.
When Ji Quan and his group came to deliver the bowls, they were incredibly envious upon seeing this scene. "These kids from Huangjiakou are really lucky to have been born into such a family."
“That’s because their village is rich,” Ji Qin said with a sour feeling. “The Huangjiakou ferry crossing makes a fortune every year during the flood season, while our village can only rely on the blessings of God.”
“What does it have to do with whether or not someone has money when their elders come to help?” Ji Quan curled his lip. “It’s because their elders care about people.”
That's what he envies the most!
“As if everyone has elders,” Ji Qin pouted. “We have them too, even more than they do.”
Jijiacun was poor, but much better than Huangjiakou, that tiny, desolate place. With so many people, they were fearless and arrogant, and few dared to mess with them.
“That’s right,” Ji Quan said hesitantly, “but the supervisor might not agree. We’re not from Huangjiakou, so we lack some personal connections.”
