"Of course, I will definitely do what Sister Wanwan said." Ye Wanwan folded her hands in front of her chest, looking at the little girls who came to the Lin family together and were now chattering in front of her, with a smile on her face.
In fact, here, she didn’t know how many people she could change. The original ideas might have already taken root. However, everything depends on human efforts. Giving up without doing anything is not her, Ye Wanwan’s style.
"Sister Wanwan, you don't know, I was originally going to marry the guy from the next village... Anyway, he is not a good person. Anyway, thank you, Sister Wanwan." The woman who spoke had a smile on her face and her eyes were moist. It was not difficult to tell that she had been crying.
"It's all in the past. In the future, I guarantee you'll pick a good husband. And it's the same for everyone. When the time comes, find someone with a good temper, and preferably someone who's a little handsome..." Ye Wanwan said without hesitation, and only stopped after all the girls blushed.
However, after this commotion, the original atmosphere became much more relaxed. The girls who were originally trembling with fear looked at Ye Wanwan with more intimacy. Compared to what they had imagined, Ye Wanwan was now very likable.
Ye Wanwan leaned against the wall, lowered her eyes to look at the group of chattering little girls, listened to their still innocent words, and chuckled from time to time. It was like she had stolen a half day of leisure from her busy life.
"I know everyone has worked hard. Once this batch of goods is sold, everyone will get a bonus." Batches of soy products were pulled out one after another. Wherever there was a need, Ye Wanwan would go there to lend a hand, very naturally.
Different soy products have different levels of difficulty in making, so the prices are naturally different. However, except for stinky tofu, they are all sold in large quantities, and the prices are not too high. The highest is only 25 cents per pound.
I thought it was a cloudy day, but the sun pierced through the clouds, casting a glow over the earth. The large open space waiting to be used to build a school was now filled with people.
Some villagers in Linjia Village were holding sticks, some were cursing, while a group of so-called scholars surrounded in the middle were still talking nonsense.
"A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent. Are you trying to cause trouble by building a girls' school in your village? We are kindly reminding you today. No need to thank us. Let's go." One of them shook the fan in his hand and pointed at the people surrounding Linjia Village.
That day, the little girl Lin Zihan from the Lin family stood up, standing steadily. She always remembered what Ye Wanwan said, to hold her chest high and proud, and asked questions one by one in her childish voice.
"You say that lack of talent is virtue, but if a woman can't do anything, how can she be respected? Do women deserve to be looked down upon?"
"Ye Wanwan is here."
"Get out of the way, Eucalyptus' wife is here."
Someone shouted, and the villagers of Linjia Village who had gathered together suddenly moved away. They were completely well-trained.
Walking through the crowd, Ye Wanwan looked at the mess in front of her and was furious. The bricks and tiles she had bought at great expense had already been broken into several pieces, and the men in front of her who were shouting were so arrogant.
"Did I let you go?" Ye Wanwan kicked the leader directly, and her voice seemed to emit a chill.
The scholar came to his senses and raised his hands, unable to speak clearly, "You..."
"What do you mean by "you"? You have read so many books of sages that you have lost everything. Not to mention what my building a school here has to do with you, with your knowledge and vision, I'm afraid you won't have much future." Seeing the angry look of the man in front of her, Ye Wanwan showed no mercy. She was going to add fuel to the fire for this pedantic scholar.
"You are so bold that you actually dare to speak to Mr. Tao like that. Why don't you try to become a Mr. Tao?" The man who was also wearing a scholar's uniform, but with more gorgeous details, was so proud that his tail was about to rise to the sky.
"So what if I'm a Juren? Even the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. I don't know what I did to offend you that you come here to point fingers at me."
As Ye Wanwan was speaking, she gestured to Lin Tiantian who was following her to count the things, and then she stood in front of the scholars.
"But no matter what your intentions are, I don't need your self-righteous kindness. As for the things you broke here today, you are not allowed to leave unless you compensate me."
Surrounded in the middle was Mr. Tao, the man who was kicked by Ye Wanwan. He shook his sleeves, looked around, and shook his head, just like a comedian.
"You are such a stubborn woman! We are here to remind you with good intentions that there has never been a precedent for opening a girls' school since ancient times. If you insist on doing so, you will be the one who suffers."
"As for these, we didn't mean to do it. Miss, just tell us the amount and we'll compensate you."
Ye Wanwan nodded, picked up the tile and turned it around, "That's fine. Considering you are scholars, I won't say anything else. One tael of silver, and you can go."
"One tael of silver. Just these few bricks of yours, and you want one tael of silver?" Tao Sisheng took a breath and his originally dull expression changed a little, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Ye Wanwan looked at the people in front of her. They really didn't seem to be able to afford the compensation. It really ruined her mood. "Then tell me what to do. You can't carry it on your shoulders or lift it with your hands. What should we do?"
The scholars who were touched by Ye Wanwan lowered their heads, only one of them was surprised, "I'll give you five taels of silver. We scholars are different. We don't need to do farm work."
A five-liang ingot of silver fell in front of her eyes along a perfect parabola. Ye Wanwan bent down to pick it up. "If you don't eat a single grain of rice, I will respect you as a talent. Okay, the matter is settled, you can go now."
Damn it, the school in Linjia Village cannot produce such idiots. Ye Wanwan didn't show it on her face, but she was roaring in her heart. The purpose of studying is to know right from wrong, not to learn to be a arrogant clown with a proud look.
"Sister Wanwan, will the school still be built?" The scholar who wanted to say something was dragged away and turned away. Lin Zihan, who was able to stand on her own just now, suddenly became like a little bird, surrounding Ye Wanwan, full of attachment.
Ye Wanwan raised her hand to straighten Lin Zihan's messy hair. "Of course, what you just said is very right. If you want to be a good person, you have to be a capable person. What's the difference between men and women?"
Little did she know that what she said today fired the first shot in the internal competition mode of Linjia Village, and then Lin Xu'an's words "Men who are incompetent will hope that their women are even more incompetent" pushed this secret contest to a white-hot stage.
