Peng Fang was not well educated and had no idea what a provincial top scholar was, but he could guess that he must be very remarkable.

He felt so sad inside, but he forced a smile and said, "Not bad, but my Xiaowen also did well, 499, just one point away from 500, the highest score in his class.

Oh, you don’t know, as soon as the scores came out, Xiaowen’s class teacher personally traveled more than 20 miles along the mountain road to come to Xiaowen’s home to congratulate him and even helped him pick a school.”

Considering the teaching level of teachers in Lu'an Town, 499 in liberal arts is really acceptable and barely enough to reach the first-tier line.

"Second aunt, congratulations to cousin Xiaowen on my behalf."

"Your cousin Xiaowen has gone to play with his grandmother. I'll tell him when he comes back."

Peng Fang changed the subject and talked about Huang Wen's tuition.

"Yun Mo, your second uncle and I can't do anything else except farming. We work hard in the fields to earn a living. We can't make any money. We haven't even found the tuition for your cousin Xiaowen yet. I came here today just to ask you to borrow some money."

Without waiting for Yun Mo to respond, Peng Fang hurriedly said, "I just heard that you passed the imperial examination and won a lot of bonuses. You must be rich. Xiao Wen is your cousin, you can't not help him."

Yun Mo smiled slightly, "Second Aunt, I have money on me, but I want to ask, are you borrowing it just this time, or will you borrow it every year in the future?

I have to pay tuition every year for four years of college. I have to borrow money to pay this year's tuition. What about next year and the year after next?"

Peng Fang was stunned, then smiled and said, "We'll talk about the future later. Anyway, you have to lend a hand now. Don't worry, when your cousin Xiaowen becomes successful in the future, we will definitely pay you back every penny of the money."

"How much does Second Aunt want to borrow?"

Hearing Yun Mo's relief, Peng Fang's face lit up immediately, "How many do you have?"

Yun Mo smiled but said nothing.

Peng Fang hesitated and made a "2" gesture, "I want to borrow two hundred."

Yun Mo raised her eyebrows. This amount was less than she had imagined. She had thought that given Peng Fang's greed, he would have to borrow at least four or five hundred from her.

"No problem, but I have two conditions. First, let cousin Xiaowen come over and write the IOU in person, and second, I'd like to ask my second uncle and aunt to help me with a little favor."

Peng Fang didn't expect to borrow money so easily, and he immediately agreed to Yun Mo's conditions.

"I'll go back to my parents' house in a bit and call your cousin Xiaowen back. How about bringing him over this afternoon? Tell us what you want us to do. We will help you get it no matter what."

Yun Mo narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, wait until you, my second aunt, bring my second uncle and cousin Xiaowen over this afternoon, and I'll tell you."

"Okay, I'll go back to my parents' home to look for your cousin Xiaowen."

Peng Fang left happily.

Zeng Fang pinched the half-eaten peach and reacted belatedly, "Momo, did I cause you trouble? If I hadn't told you that you got the bonus, your second aunt wouldn't have an excuse to borrow money from you, and this peach..."

Yun Mo chuckled and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the peach flesh and peach juice on Zeng Fang's mouth. "It's okay. If you don't eat her peach, she will be shameless enough to ask for it."

"oh."

"Two hundred is not a lot for you, but it is not a small sum for them. Given their own conditions and abilities, it is estimated that they will not be able to get the money back in a short period of time after lending it out." Jian Xun analyzed objectively.

Yun Mo did not comment, "It's rare for a college student to come from the lower village, and he's a relative, so let's just treat it as charity."

No wonder Peng Fang only asked her to borrow 200 yuan. It turned out that she had already borrowed 300 yuan before.

Yun Mo turned around and asked Huang Qingning, "Did they write the IOU?"

Huang Qingning shook her head. "My mother doesn't have any money, and my aunt isn't at home either. Anyway, we agreed that my third brother would give them the money before he reports to school."

Yun Mo nodded, and seeing that it was getting late, she went out to find the village chief.

The village chief was not at home, as he was working in the fields. His mother received them and asked the children to go to the fields to call the village chief back.

Upon learning that Yunmo was going to donate money to build roads in the village, the village chief was so excited that he immediately changed into clean clothes and took Yunmo to the town to find the leader.

It was hot, and Yun Mo didn't want Zeng Fang and the others to travel with her, so she asked Huang Qingning to take them back to the Huang family first, while she and the village chief took a motorcycle to the town.

After arriving in the town, Yun Mo went to the bamboo processing workshop first, and then called Huang Kailin and Huang Jianjun, father and son, to go to the town government together.

Things went smoothly. The town highly praised the Huang family for donating money to build roads. They also warmly invited Yun Mo and the Huang father and son to have a sumptuous lunch at the best restaurant in town.

After agreeing on the donation, before leaving, Yun Mo pretended to casually reveal the news that she was Mrs. Zhao's godson.

Sure enough, when several town leaders heard that she and Zhao Xuehai were relatives, their expressions changed.

Since ancient times, people's livelihood construction has been the easiest and most corrupt area, especially farmers like the Huang family who have no background or backing, who are seen as fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

But Yunmo moved Zhao Xuehai out, who would dare to take advantage of the road construction money? Unless they no longer wanted their official position.

After lunch, when the sun was at its hottest, Yun Mo said goodbye to the town leaders and did not rush back to the village. Instead, she took the village chief to the bamboo workshop, planning to return to the village in the afternoon when the sun was not so strong.

When they arrived at the workshop, the village chief expressed his warm gratitude to Yun Mo and the Huang father and son.

"Uncle Huang, Jianjun, Miss Yunmo, I want to thank you on behalf of everyone in our village. You have brought great fortune to our entire village!

Originally, Xiacun has mountains, water and land, and the annual harvest is no worse than that of other villages. However, the annual per capita income can never be raised, and it ranks at the bottom every year, just because other villages have roads, but our village does not!

Now that the road is repaired and cars are available, the per capita income of our entire village will surely double next year!"

Huang Kailin and his son Huang Jianjun were also very happy. The Huang family had lived in the village for generations, and they hoped more than anyone else that the village would become prosperous.

It can be seen that the village chief is a good village official who truly cares about the village, and he has a very good reputation and word of mouth in the village. Yun Mo simply handed over the road supervision matters to the village chief.

In the afternoon, when Yun Mo returned to the Huang family, Peng Fang and his family of three had already arrived.

Seeing Yun Mo coming in, Peng Fang couldn't wait to greet her, "Yun Mo, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time. What are you doing in town on such a hot day?"

"I did something."

Yun Mo didn't want to talk more about road construction and took the initiative to change the topic to borrowing money.

I didn't check the information in enough detail before, so I checked it again today and found that before 1985, going to college was free and subsidies were also given. Those who were frugal could complete college without spending a penny. After 1985, a small number of independent enrollments were opened up, and this category required tuition fees, but the tuition fees were not high. I wrote in the previous 400 chapters that the annual tuition fee was over a thousand, but here it is changed to around four or five hundred per year.
