The next day, Song Yuehua went to see Zhou Lizheng to set the school's admission rules.
"Work can be used to pay for tuition, twice a year, and each time can not exceed five days. If there are special circumstances, we can also provide special treatment."
"Books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones can all be purchased at the school. Food and lodging cost 1 tael of silver per month, and the first place in the monthly exam will be rewarded 100 coins."
After Song Yuehua finished speaking, Zhou Lizheng didn't agree very much, "You'll probably lose a lot if you do this."
"It's normal to have losses in the early stages," Song Yuehua said with a smile, "it's OK as long as we can break even in the later stages."
Making money is not Song Yuehua's main purpose.
Zhou Lizheng pointed to the one about working and asked, "Now good farmland costs at least 5 taels per mu. Do we still need to buy land?"
Song Yuehua only had 5 taels of silver, but she still said confidently, "Of course I have to buy the land."
"The school will open in five days. Let's see how many students there are first. Please ask Grandpa Zhou to convey the school's rules to the villagers."
Zhou Lizheng nodded and took notes.
At this moment, there was a noisy sound outside.
It turned out that it was Mrs. Song who ran to the door of the Song family to make trouble, asking Song Yuehua to release Song Lao Er, crying and cursing.
Xiaoyu was afraid of scaring Dabao and Xiaobao, so she didn't dare to open the door. Xie Wenwu wanted to go out to chase them away, but was stopped by Granny Wang.
When the school door opened, they saw that the bullying had even reached the doorstep.
So, Duan Yidao found a hemp rope without saying a word, tied the couple up, and took Mrs. Song and threw her at the door of the headman's house.
"Let me go now, you are a stranger, who told you to meddle in other people's business? Let me go now!" Mrs. Song howled while struggling.
Duan Yidao stood aside and explained the situation to the village head Zhou. The village head hurriedly thanked him and asked the man to leave.
Zhou Lizheng said to the surrounding villagers, "This is the martial arts master invited by the school. Remember to be polite to him when you see him next time."
Mr. Wu?
Someone else wanted to ask, but Zhou Lizheng didn't have time to talk about it. He just said, "Mrs. Song, it's true that your second son broke into the house and robbed. Why did you go to Daya's house to make a fuss? Do you have to hand him over to the government?"
Mrs. Song said in panic, "Send him to an official? What official do you want to send? Village chief, why is the second son sending him to an official for no reason? He just took the wrong road, why did he have to send him to an official? Are you taking revenge on us..."
"Mrs. Song!" Zhou Lizheng said seriously.
"If you insist on making trouble, I will send Song Er to the government office tomorrow morning. You can go and talk to the county magistrate about the whole matter."
"If you don't want to make a big fuss, send 10 taels of silver here today, and Song Er will get a few beatings at the ancestral hall, and the matter will be over."
"If you want to cause trouble for Daya again, you don't have to wait until tomorrow. I will send her to the county government office this afternoon. It's up to you how to deal with her."
After Zhou Lizheng finished speaking, he asked someone to untie the rope and turned back into the house.
Mrs. Song sat on the ground with her hair disheveled. She opened her mouth but ultimately did not dare to howl.
I don’t know what happened to the Song family.
When it was dark, Zhou Lizheng brought 10 taels of silver to Song Yuehua.
I heard that Song Lao Er was severely beaten with several boards before being carried back by the Song family.
Song Yuehua weighed the 10 taels of silver in her hand. It was truly an unexpected fortune. Together with the original silver, the total was 15 taels.
No, it’s still far from it.
Song Yuehua put the silver away and knocked on the school door. It was Duan Yidao who opened the door.
Song Yuehua said, "I will go into the mountains tomorrow and will not be back for a few days. You can take care of the school at home. I will buy you a knife someday and you can go into the mountains with me."
"I'll go with you tomorrow." Duan Yidao said.
Song Yuehua said, "I don't have a big knife at home, only a kitchen knife."
"Why do you need a knife?" Duan Yidao was puzzled.
Song Yuehua asked, "You don't use a knife?"
"No knife."
"So your name is Duan Yidao?" Song Yuehua blushed.
Duan Yidao said, "My father gave me this name, so what can I do? As for me, I still prefer bare-handed kung fu. I play with the Xie family kid in the yard every day. Didn't you see it?"
Song Yuehua, "..."
Duan Yidao added, "If you want to go into the mountains, you need to bring a few sharp weapons, but you don't need a knife. I don't like knives, but axes, bows and arrows, and spears are fine."
"I need the bow and arrow, but I have an axe for chopping wood." Song Yuehua said.
"That's fine!" Duan Yidao said.
"We'll set off at 3:00 p.m. tomorrow morning." Song Yuehua said, and left without looking back.
People often say that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but this time she judged a book by its name, which was really embarrassing.
Duan Yidao, who was standing behind him, exclaimed, "This is a very clear and concise way of speaking. You are worthy of being the one who chose me!"
After returning home, Song Yuehua caught two chickens, drained their blood, spread sauce on them and marinated them.
When the three children knew that Song Yuehua was going up the mountain again, Xiaoyu said sensibly, "Don't worry, Sister Song, I will help you take care of the house."
"Sister, can you come back earlier? Um... Granny Wang said my embroidery can be exchanged for copper coins..."
Xiaoyu thought that she could support the family, but compared with the household expenses and the school expenses, she knew that it was just a drop in the bucket.
Song Yuehua rubbed the heads of the two little girls and felt very relieved.
"Master, that..."
Xie Wenwu smiled slyly, "Don't we have Master Duan at home? I..."
Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Master Duan, please come with me to the mountain. We should leave the family affairs to our own family members. Wenwu, thank you for your hard work!"
"It's not hard. Why would you say it's hard for my family? It's just a piece of cake!"
Xie Wenwu was extremely happy. They were his own family. No matter how powerful Master Duan was, he could not be as powerful as his own family.
The next day, Song Yuehua got up early, roasted the chicken, and prepared two portions of dry food. By the time she finished cleaning up, the chicken was also roasted.
As Duan Yidao came over, he smelled the aroma of roasted chicken.
"Let's go!" Song Yuehua handed the backpack to Duan Yidao and turned away.
Duan Yidao swallowed and said, "Girl, is this for breakfast or lunch?"
"It's not for human consumption." Song Yuehua said.
Duan Yidao uttered an "ah" and asked, "Girl, you..."
Song Yuehua paused and explained, "The White Snake Immortal on the mountain saved my life. This is for the Immortal."
"oh……"
Duan Yidao understood and swallowed his saliva hard. The sound was so loud that even Song Yuehua could hear it.
"Let's roast the chicken after we get down the mountain." Song Yuehua said without turning her head.
"Okay!" Duan Yidao followed happily.
I had avoided the white snake when I went up the mountain before, but this time I took the initiative to go to it, but I didn't see it.
I walked around with two roasted chickens on my back, but still couldn't find it.
"Girl, look!"
Duan Yidao stood on a high slope and pointed down.
There is a whole depression under the high slope, which is full of rocks, and there is a cave opposite.
When Song Yuehua looked over, the white snake was entangled in a big bear, and the big bear opened its mouth and bit the white snake.
Seeing that the bite was getting deeper and deeper, the white snake could no longer hold on.
Song Yuehua immediately took down the bow, sat on the ground, propped up the bow with her feet, pulled the string, and shouted to Duan Yidao, "Save the white snake!"
