Thinking back to when she was a killer, she was always traveling in the wind and rain and lived in a different place every day. Naturally, she had never experienced a Siheyuan. But she had heard a killer who had lived in a Siheyuan say that it was a very warm place where everyone could share anything and solve problems together. Now she seemed to be able to feel this warmth.
However, this is somewhat ironic.
She couldn't feel it in civilized and developed places, but she could feel it in this underdeveloped place. Perhaps this is the most beautiful and sincere emotion left after abandoning material desires.
But the only thing that bothered Jiang Xueying was that as a killer, she had a keen sense of hearing. Now that the three families were connected, she could hear a lot of noise. It was so noisy that she couldn't sleep.
Especially at night, the noise made her almost sleepless.
However, their efforts also made Jiang Xueying think that it was time to renovate her own house.
Jiang Xueying did what she said and the people she hired quickly repaired the house, making it more convenient for the children to play.
That day, Jiang Xueying was sitting under the eaves watching the children playing together, and a bold idea came to her mind.
These children are already at the age where they need to read and write. If they continue to play every day, they will suffer in the future. It would be great if there was a school here.
"Hmm? No, if there is nothing, can't I find a way to create it?"
Jiang Xueying suddenly reacted, the idea became stronger and stronger, and she decided to take action immediately.
Of course, the first choice is to find the village chief. After all, all matters big or small in the village need the approval of the village chief. You can also ask the village chief for his opinion on building a school.
When she met the village chief, Jiang Xueying went straight to the point.
"Village head, I see that many children in our village spend the day playing together and have nothing to do. Those children are at a good age to learn to read and write. Shouldn't our village provide a place for them to learn to read and write?"
The village chief frowned and asked, "Are you talking about building a school?"
Jiang Xueying nodded repeatedly.
"Well, actually I support your idea. If our village can produce a few educated people, the village will also benefit. But building a school is a lot of money. We have considered it in the future, but it is difficult to reach an agreement. And this year the village has encountered so many things. I am afraid no one is willing to take the money. Besides, we have no place to build a school. How can we build it? And the teacher is also a problem!"
After listening to Jiang Xueying's idea, the village chief spread his hands in embarrassment. It was difficult to build a school in the village before, and now the village has suffered so many disasters and has been severely damaged. It is even more impossible to have extra energy and money to build a school.
"Village head, I know that everyone's life is very difficult now. It is precisely because everyone is rebuilding their homes that this school is built. Don't worry, I can pay for it, but I'm afraid I still need your help to coordinate the land."
Jiang Xueying quickly gave an answer. Rebuilding the home was a big deal, and so was building a school.
"Really? I don't know how much it will cost to build this school. You..."
"Village Chief, don't worry. I made a lot of money from my business some time ago. It's time to make more contributions to the village!"
"Hey, daughter-in-law of the Ye family, it is a blessing for our village to have you. How can I help?"
The village chief praised Jiang Xueying happily. In the past, he only thought that Jiang Xueying was a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and a bad woman who abused children. But now they have seen her changes, which are really completely different.
"It's okay, this is also my gift!"
Jiang Xueying whispered a few words to the village chief, and the matter of building the school was finalized.
Early the next morning, the sound of a bell was heard at the entrance of the village.
The villagers knew that the village chief had called everyone together to make an announcement, so they immediately stopped what they were doing and rushed to the village entrance.
"Okay, since everyone is here, I won't waste my words. I think everyone knows that our village has always been said to be uneducated by other villages. For so many years, there has not been even a single educated person in the village. It's embarrassing to say this. As the saying goes, you can't make money without making money. I don't think you would want your children to be said like this, right?"
Seeing that most people had arrived, the village chief began his speech, and every word he said came from his heart.
The villagers all shook their heads when they heard this: "No!"
The village chief was delighted. He could see that everyone actually wanted to make changes, but they had never found the right method. Now, changes were finally going to happen.
"The reason why people say we are uneducated is because there is no school in our village and our children have no access to education. If we want to change this, we must build a school in our village. What do you think?"
The villagers were stunned when they heard this. Some were happy while others were worried, and they began to whisper to each other.
"What the village chief said makes sense. We lost because we don't have a school. The neighboring village has three schools."
"Yes, yes, our village has never produced anyone with any honors!"
"I support!"
“We should build a school!”
Some villagers agreed.
"But building a school is very expensive. How much will it cost this time?"
"We have experienced so many disasters at the beginning of this year. I am already penniless. Even food and shelter are a problem. How can I have money to support the construction of the school?"
"Yes, the village has experienced floods and serious diseases. It costs money to build a school and to hire teachers. Where do we get the money?"
"Village chief, please be kind. My family is barely making ends meet. I can't support you, but I can."
However, another group of villagers were full of rejection, thinking that it was ridiculous for the village chief to propose building a school at a critical moment in the village renovation.
The village chief was not surprised by their reaction and rang the bell for everyone to be quiet.
The villagers were quite cooperative and after arguing for a while they calmed down.
"Don't worry, the money for building the school has already been paid for, and you don't need to pay a penny more. This is a great thing for our village."
The village chief comforted the villagers and finally got to the point.
"Ah? Who is so rich that he can afford to build a school by himself?"
"Is there such a kind person in our village?"
"Could it be Miss Chen who came to deliver supplies to us last time?"
The villagers all looked curious, and they didn't expect such a good thing to happen.
"Okay, don't worry about who paid for it. You just need to know that she is a kind person. And what we want to discuss now is other things. Although we have the money to build the school, we don't have the land, so we need your help."
According to Jiang Xueying's request, the village chief concealed the fact that Jiang Xueying paid the money.
"This... My family depends on these lands to make a living. If I donate them, I will lose a lot of harvest."
Many villagers showed hesitant expressions and were reluctant to use their own land.
