Chapter 82: Gratitude



At noon on the second day after the class division, Lan Yu found Song Yuehua and said that he did not want to be promoted.

Although Song Yuehua could guess his purpose, she still asked, "Why?"

Lan Yu lowered his head and said hesitantly, "With the monthly bonus, we can build the house at home sooner."

Song Yuehua said, "You are here to study, not to make money. Take care of your studies and don't worry about other things. Making money is the job of adults."

"But..." Lan Yu didn't know what to say. His mother-in-law could no longer earn any money and could only rely on the few acres of land at home to exchange for food to make a living.

Song Yuehua said, "I am building a pig farm and a chicken farm on Dongshan Mountain. We will definitely not have enough manpower by then. The monthly salary is 400 wen, and the food and accommodation are all on Dongshan Mountain. Ask Granny Lan if she is willing to come and work for me."

Lan Yu's eyes lit up and she immediately smiled. She wanted to nod, but she said, "Sister Song, I'll go ask grandma now."

"good!"

Lan Yu couldn't contain his excitement, and when he ran into the school, Erguotou and Gouwazi squatted face to face.

The two men were carrying a stick, and Master Duan was sitting in the middle of the stick, with his legs crossed and his face supported by his hands.

Seeing Lan Yu running fast, he sighed, "Young kids are still full of energy!"

The puppy wants to cry. Master, no matter how young he is, he can't stand your torture.

Granny Lan was sweeping the backyard. When she saw Lan Yuhong running over with her little face puffed out, she smiled and asked, "What happy thing happened to you?"

"Grandma, how do you know?" Lan Yu raised his head and asked.

Granny Lan stroked his messy hair and teased, "You ran all the way with your mouth open, aren't you afraid of the wind?"

Lan Yu couldn't wait to tell his grandmother what Song Yuehua said.

"400 Wen!" Granny Lan was so shocked that the broom in her hand dropped.

"Yes," Lan Yu sighed, "Sister Song just said she was going to work, I forgot to ask her what she was going to do."

After being excited for a while, Grandma Lan calmed down again, her face full of worry. After thinking about it, she decided to go to the Song family first.

Song Yuehua didn't expect that someone would actually take the initiative to cut their salary.

"Girl, 400 coins is too much. I am an old woman with clumsy hands and feet. I will be satisfied if I can earn 200 coins a month." said Grandma Lan.

Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Don't worry, Granny Lan. I'm going to raise chickens and pigs in Dongshan. I need someone to do the heavy work, and I need someone to take care of it. As long as you pay enough attention and be careful, I'll give you the money."

Although Liu Xue was in charge of Dongshan, she had no experience in raising livestock. People like Granny Lan, although they did not have enough physical strength, had enough experience in raising chickens, which could just make up for Liu Xue's shortcomings.

If we find an adult man or a capable woman, it's not certain whether Liu Xue will have a say in the pig farm in the end. Someone like Grandma Lan is just right.

The third day after school started.

Fu also brought Ren Xiaomei over and asked, "Daya, I heard that girls don't need to open up wasteland or pay for their studies?"

Song Yuehua said, "You don't need to open up new land, but you need to buy books, paper and pens yourself."

Fu laughed and said embarrassedly, "Can you come without buying these?"

Song Yuehua, "..."

"You can't learn anything if you don't have anything!" Song Yuehua said, "A pen is only 10 cents, and you should at least have half a bag of paper."

Fu looked embarrassed.

Although the school has dealt with special cases before, if it were always like this, people would be doomed to death. Besides, the Ren family has a large number of people, so how can they compare with Granny Lan's family?

"How about using labor to offset the cost of writing brushes, paper and ink?" Song Yuehua suggested.

Fu shook her head, and then said, "Can we take a look first? I need to discuss it with my family."

"Okay." Song Yuehua said.

After everyone left, Liu Xue said, "This Ren family is really interesting. They don't want money, but they won't do it if they want it. They are also unwilling to work. This is not the way to get something for nothing!"

"It seems that Xiaoshu has taught you a lot recently," Song Yuehua said with a smile, "You even know how to get something for nothing."

Liu Xue blushed and snorted.

On the way back to Dongshan.

Fu carried Ren Xiaomei on her back and murmured, "Girl, grandma has sacrificed her reputation for you. You can't work for her. The people at home will definitely not agree."

"I have some private money, take it all. I'll say hello to Mrs. Tian when we get back. From tomorrow on, you will go to school with Zong Bai and learn to read well so that you can marry into a good family in the future."

Ren Xiaomei pressed her face against A Niang's neck, listening half and forgetting the other half.

After returning to Dongshan House, the Ren family also knew that Xiaomei was going to school.

"Not a penny?" asked Old Man Ren.

"No." said Fu.

Old Man Ren smiled and said, "That's good."

On the contrary, Mrs. Shu was very dissatisfied, but she could only say to Ren Dahai, "Why should the little girl study? She will be able to do some work in two years. Why send her to school now? Your mother is just being ridiculous."

Ren Dahai said indifferently, "Just go, my parents have no objection, why are you arguing?"

Ren Xiaoxi doesn't care whether Ren Xiaomei goes to school or not, she is only worried about her own marriage.

She is already 14 years old today. If she is not betrothed to someone, she will never be able to get married.

That evening.

When Fu asked Zong Yi to send Zong Bai off, he should also take Ren Xiaomei with him, and Tian readily agreed.

The little girl is quite likable. It is better for her to go to school than to stay at home doing nothing and listen to the old man scolding her.

This year, every village and every place is very busy.

The heavy snow collapsed many houses and the villagers were busy rebuilding them.

Families with a little money would simply buy a few carts of mud bricks and call a few people from the village. They didn't care about the details, as long as they could build a house.
