"Lin Zhiqing, is what you just said true?" The village chief was surprised and happy. He thought he had tinnitus and didn't hear clearly. After all, not everyone can easily say that they want to fund the construction of a primary school. In order to avoid making a mistake, he had to ask again.

"Yes, it's absolutely true! But I have a request!" Lin Xi nodded, and then said the second half of the sentence.

"What requests?" When the village chief heard Lin Xi say that he had requests, his heart instantly rose to his throat. He thought that if he couldn't meet Lin Xi's requests, then there would be little hope of rebuilding the primary school.

But even if it couldn't be built, he couldn't blame Lin Xi. After all, he had gone to the town several times to find the leaders for this matter, but it had been so long and still hadn't been approved. He hadn't held out any hope, but as soon as Lin Xi finished speaking, his mind started to become active again.

"Uncle, don't be so nervous. It's not an excessive request. It can be done in minutes." Lin Xi couldn't help laughing when he saw the village chief's defensive look. Could he be a jackal, tiger or leopard?

"Then Lin Zhiqing, please tell me what your request is so that I can have an idea. Otherwise, I'm very curious and it will be uncomfortable to hold it back." The village chief was anxious for Lin Xi to tell him his request.

"Okay, don't worry, Village Chief, I'll talk to you about it..."

"Okay, I'll listen, go ahead!" The village chief quickly adjusted his mentality and looked at Lin Xi with an attentive look.

"Actually, it's not a particularly difficult request. What I mean is that after the primary school is built, families with children who are old enough can go to school for free. Of course, this also includes girls. We can't just let boys go to school while girls are not allowed." Lin Xi stated his request in one breath, and then stood there quietly looking at the village chief, waiting for his reply.

But what she didn't expect was that after three minutes, the village chief still had no intention of speaking, but he didn't open his mouth either, just stood there looking at him.

During this period, she saw the village chief's expression change again and again, and finally he went from being entangled to being suddenly enlightened.

"Lin Zhiqing, your request is indeed not excessive at all, but I don't know if it can be done. As you know, many families in our village value boys over girls. They think that girls will get married in the future. It's useless to study. It's better for them to stay at home and work to earn some work points."

"But don't worry, I will try my best to persuade every villager to send their children to school, regardless of gender!" The village chief was afraid that Lin Xi would suddenly change his mind after hearing what he said, so he added the rest of the words.

Although this task is very difficult, he must work hard to ensure the smooth construction of the village primary school.

Lin Xi also knew what the village chief said, because she had read a lot of novels from that era, so she knew very well that rural girls at that time had hardly any education, so she wanted to do her best to help them. After all, it didn't cost much money to build a primary school, and she had plenty of money!

"Uncle village chief, I'll trouble you. This is my only request. If those people are still unwilling to send their girls to school, you can tell them that not only is education free, but those who study well can also get bonuses, regardless of gender!" Lin Xi offered very tempting conditions. She didn't believe that those villagers would not be tempted if there was money to be made!
