Chapter 297 What's the point of building a school ?

Sun Qianni looked a little embarrassed. Yuan Xiao was the one who paid the money, and she really couldn't afford to offend him.

But the school has always been run like this, and no one thinks it's wrong?

If it's wrong, why didn't anyone point it out for so many years?

An Tao hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Because boys are thick-skinned and can endure hardships better, it is natural for them to do such hard work."

Yuan Xiao sighed, "Teacher An, you are wrong."

"The environment here is harsh, and going to school is of course a difficult thing. But according to what you just said, the girls here are doing nothing at home, being spoiled ladies? Obviously, they are all suffering, why are you prejudiced? The first request I made for funding the school is to ask you to abolish this rule."

Sun Qianni wanted to say something, but was stopped by An Tao.

"Yes, we will try our best."

Sun Qianni still looked unhappy until Yuan Xiao and the others left.

"What's wrong with this rule? Is it a big deal to pay? She wants to pay, not us! Since we are donating to a school in someone else's place, we should respect the local rules, right? Even if we abolish this rule, the situation here is like this, how can there be girls coming here to study! Don't blame our school if something happens later!"

An Tao comforted Sun Qianni for a long time before she calmed down a little.

At the same time, the old branch secretary was also talking to Yuan Xiao about the situation here.

"This is the custom here. Even if this rule is abolished, they won't let girls come here to study."

Yuan Xiao bit his lip, "Why?"

"Girls in the mountains get married early, and they have to get married after not studying for long, so it's better to save the money. I also advocated letting girls go to school a few years ago, but the effect was not good."

"It should be ten years ago. During that time, some families really sent their girls here to study, but something big happened."

Yuan Xiao paused, "What happened?"

"That little girl was abused by a student, she was still so young... At that time, the teachers in the school were not Mr. and Mrs. An. But the incident had such a big impact that even when Mr. and Mrs. An took over the school, the girl's parents still came to the school to make trouble. We are all pitiful people, and no one feels good."

Yuan Xiao's heart was like being pinched by a hand, and it hurt so much.

So just now, she misunderstood Sun Qianni and An Tao.

"Oh! This is a long-term accumulation, and it is very difficult to change it in a short time!" Xu Zhicheng said.

He even thought that Yuan Xiao was a little surprised, and this place might be good.

After seeing so many of these, he felt it was normal.

Yuan Xiao temporarily put this matter in his heart, and then asked: "Does the village have enough manpower? I want to repair the house."

Xu Zhicheng wanted to stop him, but when he met Gu Lanting's eyes, he was frightened.

But he felt from the bottom of his heart that it was unnecessary to repair the house, as they would only live there for a few days.

Moreover, if you repaired this place, could you repair the whole country?

In a place like this, even if you are a donor, you should know that money should not be exposed. It is not a bad thing to be more cautious.

But Gu Lanting was holding on, so what could he do but cooperate?

"It is enough, but it is a bit troublesome." The old branch secretary hesitated.

Yuan Xiao: "Let the young people come to help, go to the town to buy some materials, wages are not a problem."

Since Yuan Xiao has started, he will not only repair the place where he lives.

The old branch secretary has many sons and grandchildren, so there is naturally a lot of labor in the family.

With his arrangement, the materials for the repairs were quickly purchased from the town.

Anyway, Yuan Xiao is only responsible for paying, and she doesn't have to worry about other things.

When it was time to pay, the one who came to ask for the money was a man with two mustaches on his lips and drooping triangular eyes. He looked at Yuan Xiao with a very flattering look.

Yuan Xiao didn't care about these, "Have you calculated how much it is?"

"It's already calculated, exactly one thousand yuan."

Yuan Xiao smiled. Although she was rich, she was not a sucker.

"How many tiles did you bring back in total?"

The man thought Yuan Xiao would pay him without hesitation, but he asked him questions.

He looked back at the pile of tiles and was unsure.

It was just a repair, not a new one, and the tiles here were no more than 10,000.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "There are about 10,000 tiles here, and one tile is one cent, so we are saving a thousand yuan."

Yuan Xiao laughed, "The tiles here are almost as expensive as meat."

If that's the case, wouldn't she have to spend a lot more money to build a school?

Xu Zhicheng adjusted his glasses and walked up: "The prices of tile factories are set by the state. Even if there are private tile factories now, the prices cannot be exaggerated. You are only paying one cent for a tile. You must have been cheated. Tell me who it is and we will settle the score with him."

Yuan Xiao agreed: "Report to the Public Security Bureau, maybe you can get a reward."

The man panicked and cursed secretly, laughing: "I remembered it wrong. It should be four cents a tile, including the workers' expenses, 450 yuan can be done!"

Yuan Xiao counted out 500 yuan for him, a big stack, which made the man's eyes widen.

He had never seen so much money in his life!

If he were to build a school or repair a road, it would be better to divide the money among the people in their village.

I don't know what these rich people are thinking.

But at least they gave more, so he was still happy.

His wife's idea was not good. These rich people from the city were not that stupid.

The man took the money and left. A fat dark woman in a flowered jacket ran over, "Shuanzi, how is it?"

Shuanzi spit and counted the money. There were fifty big round-ups, no more, no less.

The woman's eyes lit up. Wow, she had never seen so much money in her life.

"Is there a thousand here?" the woman asked.

Shuanzi spat, "That woman is very smart. She specifically asked how many tiles there are and knew the price. I dare not cheat too much. Here is 500."

The woman grabbed his hand excitedly, staring at the big dough in his hand with shining eyes, "Five hundred! I am going to faint. I have never seen 500 yuan in my life! Even if it is 500, we can get 100, right?"

The man nodded, pointed out ten big doughs and handed them to her, "You keep these, don't let others know, I will use the rest to pay wages and tile money."

The woman looked at the big dough in her hand greedily.

People who can take out 500 yuan casually must have more money in their pockets.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and she even hated Yuan Xiao and the others. They

are so rich, why can't they share some with them?

What's the point of building a school? Will it let them eat meat?

I really hope Yuan Xiao can stay here for a while, so that she can find a way to make more money.
