Zhou Xiang's last truth silenced the three senior leaders. A new school would only make people wait and see. Moreover, how many students could such a large school in a town recruit?
The ideal of an excellent teacher is to teach and educate, and to produce outstanding students, rather than doing nothing and getting paid for nothing.
After a long silence, the county official gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! We must give it a try. Miss Zhou has been very supportive of the county's development, and even if there were no loans, since you have a new school, we should also contribute to its development."
The top leader agreed, and the other two also expressed their opinions, "Let's go back and promote it first. Once the school is completely completed, we'll take some photos and then do a big promotion."
The atmosphere relaxed after the matter was settled. "How long will it take, Miss Zhou, to handle your personal affairs?"
"It will take about half a month! If you are in a hurry, come and get it this afternoon."
The deputy county chief waved his hand. "There's no rush for this. I still have meetings with several banks. It'll be almost done by the time you get back."
Zhou Xiang nodded and said, "I will call Manager Song when I get back."
"Okay, it's best to contact Lao Song."
After seeing off the three important leaders, everyone in Zhou’s house returned to have lunch.
When passing by the Xie family's yard, Xie Chen showed up again to make his presence felt. Lu Jing no longer frowned at him, but he didn't treat him well either. Even so, Xie Chen was so excited that he lost his mind.
Ling Ran didn't come back, so Zhou's father and mother thought he was in the front yard! When Jiang Weihua's family of three and Professor Chu arrived, Ling Ran still hadn't come, so Zhou's father opened his mouth,
"Why doesn't this child know to go home for dinner?"
"Dad, are you talking about Ling Ran?"
"Don't tell me who he is talking about. Isn't this just him?"
"Don't wait, he went to the county town to do some business, let's eat!"
When everyone had almost finished eating, Zhou Xiang told everyone that she and Ling Ran were going on a long trip.
"Mom and Dad, you should pack your things and move in this afternoon! Ling Ran and I are going on a long trip. When we pass by the post office later, I will ask my parents-in-law to stay there.
Senior Jiang and Teacher, starting tomorrow, please come to my place for lunch!"
"Going on a long journey? How far?" Zhou's mother was most worried about these three words.
"Go abroad."
I have to go abroad suddenly. Could something big have happened?
The adults were silent, but the children asked, "Auntie, what does it mean to go abroad?"
Jian Jiankang patted his sister's head and said, "Stupid, it means going to a place where you can't understand what others say. It's very far away and you have to take a plane."
"Ah? I want to ride a flying chicken too. Does it fly high? Can it carry me?"
Well, now the worried atmosphere is gone.
Jiankangkang wanted to pat his sister's head again, but their father stopped him, "You guys beat me up."
"I'm not stupid. My aunt even praised me for being smart."
Zhou Xiang nodded. "Yuanyuan is very smart. Come, let me tell you, an airplane is a means of transportation, just like you ride in a car. Cars run on the ground, while airplanes fly in the sky. They are very fast."
"It's the robot part, not the chicken running on the ground, right?"
"Yes, Yuanyuan is very smart. Next time, if you don't understand something, ask the word first and then guess. Random guesses will only make you look ridiculous."
"Yeah! I remember that."
No one asked Zhou Xiang why she went abroad, including Professor Chu, who all tacitly accepted Zhou Xiang's behavior because if she could explain it, she would have said it directly.
On the way back to Zhou's house, Zhou wanted to ask his parents-in-law to pack up their things and move in with them.
Dong Yunrong was surprised. "We've only been back for a few days, and your parents are already living there again?"
I don't know if these four in-laws had discussed it beforehand, but they always moved in together and moved out together, with no one left alone.
"They will come over after they pack up. Ling Ran and I have something to do and will be away for ten days. You guys go and look after the three treasures."
"Did Sanbao know about this too?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yeah! I said it in front of everyone. I don't know if it's because you haven't experienced what it's like to be away from your parents, so you didn't say anything. You're often away and reunited, so you're probably used to it."
"That would be great if that were the case. I'm afraid they'll cry and make a fuss if you don't come back for a few days."
"Then we can only cry and make a fuss. We are abroad and the phone can't be reached."
Even if the call goes through, she may not be able to answer it. It’s better to say that the call can’t go through!
"Ah? Going abroad?" Dong Yunrong paused, "Then I'll pack my things quickly."
"What's going on with Auntie?"
My mother-in-law went to the county town yesterday and probably came back late, so she didn’t go to see the three babies. She didn’t go again this morning. This is a bit abnormal!
"Alas~" Dong Yunrong sighed, "It's because the three brothers are fighting to split up the family business. Your aunt can't bear to part with the children, nor can she bear to part with the gold bars."
"Aren't there six? Each of the three brothers gets one, and Auntie keeps three!"
"The key point is that the three brothers wanted to divide the six gold bars, which made your aunt cry. When the county was undergoing reconstruction, she gritted her teeth and bought a four-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. She borrowed money and bought things on credit everywhere, but she was reluctant to exchange the gold bars. Now, before the debts were fully paid, the three brothers have set their sights on the gold bars.
Your aunt said that it might be because gold is almost 200 yuan per gram, and a gold bar is almost 100,000 yuan, so everyone has their own ideas."
"Those three gold bars were given to my aunt by me. Although I said they were gifts, I actually gave them to my aunt to help her get married.
And later on, I gave a gold bar to each of them at their wedding. If it wasn't for my aunt to give her confidence, why would I give it to her? I have a lot of money, right?
Since they're planning to split up, why not give them their gold bars and kick everyone out? Then, how much more comfortable would it be for the two of you to live in the new house?"
"What's even more hateful is that your uncle supports those three brothers?"
