Soon, a group of people followed Aunt Li back, and not just one person from each family. They looked anxious, and as soon as they saw Shen Zhizhu and his wife after entering the house, they couldn't wait to ask questions.

"Xiao Zhu, you said that there is no tuition for the kids to go to school, is that true?"

"What's going on? Tell me now."

"Yes, we all paid 30 yuan, which is enough for our family's food for a month."

Shen Zhizhu understood their feelings and did not pretend to be mysterious. He used the simplest description to tell everyone what he had learned today.

Everyone was waiting and there was silence for a while. Perhaps no one expected that Du Zai De would do such a despicable thing as spreading false information and making money from everyone.

Those with bad tempers are already cursing.

"Damn it, this old bastard Du Zai De actually cheated us out of our hard-earned money."

"This is killing us. We work so hard every day, but he just takes it away with just a few words. There is no such good thing in the world."

"No, we need to talk to the village chief."

This sentence touched everyone's heart. How could such a large amount of money be given away for nothing?

Some people have made a somewhat uncertain guess.

"Could it be that there is something we don't know about, and the village chief actually didn't take a penny?"

She spoke in a low voice because even she felt that the possibility was very small. The anger in the villagers' hearts was like the surging waters of the Yellow River, and they could not calm down for a long time.

The uncle with his trouser legs rolled up slammed the hoe in his hand to the ground and shouted.

"I don't care. I will definitely go and ask for an explanation. Xiaozhu, Haonan, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about you. Just say that I went to the city and heard what the people there said."

"I won't tell you. This matter has nothing to do with you. It will save them from causing trouble for you two later."

Although Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan are not afraid of being in trouble with Du Zaide and Du Manjun, who doesn't like quietness?

"Thank you, uncle and auntie, you are so thoughtful."

Since the deal had been made, everyone walked out together, fighting themselves as they walked, and scolding the two men as they went. They were in a good mood and vowed to get the money back.

On the way, many villagers saw this group of people coming in large numbers. As is human nature, they were curious about everything. Some of them even followed the group.

After finding out what happened, I found it unbelievable and hard to believe, so I became more determined to move on with it.

Some people hurried back to tell their families, some came to watch the excitement, and some people thought the tuition was too expensive and planned to save money for a year and then continue their studies next year.

Finally, someone told them that there was no tuition fee and anyone could learn.

Then there must be a child in their family who studies hard and has a bright future.

This led to the team becoming larger and larger, and when they were about to reach the village chief's house, they happened to run into Du Zaide who was about to go out.

"Oh, I was just about to make a broadcast to call everyone, but I didn't expect that everyone has already come. But why did so many of you come together? In a group, what are you thinking?"

Du Zai De didn't wait for anyone to reply and continued talking to himself.

"I wanted to tell you about Manjun giving everyone's children free lessons. I think his studies alone are stressful enough. He studies until midnight every day. It's too hard. The money for his health supplements is running out. The family can't afford it. Why don't you take your children back?"

He knew that some of these villagers hoped their children would be successful, but they did not have enough money, so they supported Shen Zhizhu's proposal.

As long as they want their children to succeed, they will find ways to solve their problems. The best result would be for every household to pay a little money to provide nutritional supplements for Du Manjun.

You don't need a lot, just one or two pieces, and when added together it's not a small number.

Du Zai De was extremely satisfied with his idea. He felt that he was very smart. Even if they changed their minds later, it was not because he forced them.

The villagers who heard this were furious, and the uncle in rolled-up trousers who had initially taken the lead in speaking out was unhappy.

"Go to hell with you. You really take us for fools. You're telling us that you'll only teach the children in the village if we give you gifts and money. How shameless!"

Someone started talking, and then everyone started talking, one after another, until Du Zai De was forced to the door.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let him sneak back home."

The young man in the village acted quickly. He turned around and stood in front of the door, blocking Du Zaide's retreat.

Du Zaide was used to having smooth sailing, and had never seen such a battle before.

"Everyone, calm down. I asked you to pay me. I just want you to take the child back so that my son Manjun can have a good rest."

The guy blocking the door didn't buy it.

"He's only been teaching for a few days and he's already tired? You said he would study until midnight, and he did. Every time I pass by here on my way home at night, it's only eight or nine o'clock and your house is already dark. And the hint in your words is just short of asking everyone for money."

"Rest so early? Haonan and his family can study until after 12 o'clock every day, and the lights are still on."

Du Zai De glared at the young man. He was the only one who could understand it. Why didn’t anyone else object?

Moreover, when he heard Xu Haonan's name, he looked into the crowd and felt disgusted. Why were these two people here? It would definitely be no good if he met them.

"You don't know how hard it is to study if you don't study. If everyone is willing to subsidize the nutrition of the army, the army will teach everyone's children. What's wrong with that? Besides, we are all neighbors in the same village. How can I charge you more money? Just give me a dollar or two as a token of my appreciation."

Du Zai De really thought so. If each household gave one or two yuan a month, a total of ten would come, which means ten to twenty yuan per month. If this were done every month, it would be a considerable income.

Thinking of this, he raised his thumb with great pride.

"My son Manjun is a good student praised by teachers at school."

What it means is that everyone is getting a great deal, and they are still being treated to delicious food and drinks. Be careful, or they won’t teach you anymore.

This was the method that Manjun and Shen Aiqiu discussed last night. They said that they wanted to let the people in the village see clearly and not think that they could be manipulated by them just because they compromised.

The initiative is in their hands. As long as Du Manjun is unwilling, their children will not be able to study and can only follow their parents to farm.

As long as adults want their children to read and write, they must respect their family.

One or two yuan is not much, and it is within the affordability of these people, so they will most likely give it. If they don’t give it, they can take it back, which can also reduce the pressure. When they feel the difference later, they will naturally return it.
