"Studying is not just for the purpose of passing exams, but also for children to understand the truth and know good and evil. Do you want your children to be ignorant and not know good and evil?"
"And think about it, if you go to the market, wouldn't it be nice to have a child who can do the math with you?"
The village chief began to list the benefits of reading.
"The money seller at the market always miscalculates my bills. If I had a child who could calculate, I would be cheated less often."
"I don't ask my child to make a lot of money, but he must know what is black and what is white. I support the village chief."
"I can donate land, too!"
Under the persuasion of the village chief, the villagers finally agreed to donate the land.
The dewdrops on the grass sparkled in the sunlight.
Jiang Xueying got up early, boiled her own medicine and took it, then made some simple meals. She also invited Qiao and Lin, who had just chosen a house next door, to have dinner together.
After Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Lin finished washing up, they looked at the table full of dishes and couldn't help but salivate.
"Madam, if I hadn't been with you for so long, I would have thought you were a royal chef who ran away from the palace. The food you eat every day is something we have never seen before. We are so envious of you."
Looking at the table full of dishes, Qiao felt like his mouth was watering.
"Thank you for the compliment. I just really like studying these things. I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Xueying had a humble smile on her face. Although she was a decisive killer in her previous life, she was also a foodie. As long as it was a delicacy she had never eaten or seen before, she would find a way to find the recipe and study it carefully until she could make it.
It was the same in this life, except that in her previous life she only cooked for herself, but in this life, someone appreciated her cooking skills, so she was naturally happy.
"Okay, let's stop talking and eat."
"etc!"
Qiao grabbed Jiang Xueying's sleeve, held her face with both hands and looked at her carefully, and suddenly exclaimed.
Jiang Xueying's small face was held in Qiao's hands, making her already small face look even smaller.
When she saw Qiao looking at her in surprise, she couldn't help but touch her face in surprise.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"No, ma'am, the spots on your face...seem to have faded!"
When Lin heard what Qiao said, she also walked over curiously and looked at Jiang Xueying's face seriously.
"Oh, it's true. It has faded a lot. You can't even see it if you don't look carefully."
"Yeah?"
Jiang Xueying touched her face and it was very smooth.
"That may be the effect of the new and improved prescription. I estimate that the spots will be completely gone in about ten days."
"Very good."
Both Lin and Qiao had genuine smiles on their faces.
"I didn't notice it before, but now that the spots have faded, I feel even more that the lady is a great beauty."
Qiao said that they had never seen many fair and tender beauties, but they felt that Jiang Xueying was the most beautiful person they had ever seen, especially since the scars on her face were gradually fading, making her look more and more tender.
Jiang Xueying was stunned. She took the bronze mirror beside her and looked at herself carefully for the first time.
It was just like what Qiao said. Jiang Xueying had delicate facial features, deep eyebrows, long and thick eyelashes, and big eyes that blinked. Her skin was naturally fair and shiny, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were rosy. When she wasn't smiling, she was a cold beauty. When she smiled, she had two cute dimples, which broke her cold feeling.
Of course, this is assuming that we ignore the large ugly and horrible spots on our face.
"So that means I was ugly when I had spots?"
Jiang Xueying said jokingly that the three families have become as close as one family now, and Jiang Xueying has long regarded them as her own family.
"Well... Madam looked pretty when she had spots before."
Qiao dodged Jiang Xueying's teasing gaze and told lies in a serious manner.
"Sister Qiao, do you know that the handkerchief in your hand is about to be deformed by you?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Lin laughed unkindly.
While the three were talking, three children ran over. They just smiled and said nothing. The whole family finished their breakfast in harmony.
Not long after breakfast, the village chief came to visit Jiang Xueying and said that he had asked someone to find a good Feng Shui site that was particularly suitable for building a school, and he came to tell her specifically.
When Jiang Xueying heard the good news, she felt relieved.
The children in the village will be able to go to school soon.
"Daughter-in-law of the Ye family, thanks to your idea and money, the school can be built immediately."
"I am also doing this for the children. After all, it is a good time for children to study. We should create opportunities for them to study and learn. Even if they don't have to pass the imperial examinations in the future, at least learning a few more words can enrich themselves."
The village chief became even more excited when he heard this, and couldn't help but wipe away his bitter tears. This was the hope of many generations of people in the village, and now it was finally going to come true.
"Hey, all I wanted before was to let the children leave the village and have a good livelihood in the future. I didn't expect you to have such a high level of thinking. It's me, an old man, who is short-sighted. I've learned a lesson! I've learned a lesson!"
Jiang Xueying pursed her lips guiltily, not knowing what to say, and could only smile awkwardly.
In fact, she only learned these words when she was working as a killer. One of the tasks was to disguise herself as an ordinary student and assassinate a secret contact lurking in the school.
She remembered it very clearly. Their class teacher was a bald old man with a beer belly. He came to the class drunk every day, stood on the podium and lectured them on these big truths. He did not change his tone every day. It was really the most painful period of her job.
"However, we may still need your help in building the school. After all, we have no experience in building schools. Should we learn from other villages..."
The village chief said hesitantly that they knew nothing about these things and even if they had money and land, they didn't know where to start.
"It's okay. I have experience in this area. I also planned to send my two children to the school in town. I roughly know the design and model of the school."
The village chief was delighted. "That's great. I didn't expect that the Ye family's daughter-in-law is so knowledgeable and talented. It's a blessing for the village to have you..."
Jiang Xueying immediately interrupted the village chief's long speech and put forward her request.
"But I have to repair my house before I can repair the school."
"No problem, if you need anything just tell me and I will do my best to help you."
Jiang Xueying nodded, "Thank you very much, Village Chief."
At the same time, each household in the village began to build houses and farm in an orderly manner.
The years are quiet and peaceful.
