Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Old Fifth Master was even more furious and scolded the head of the village: "Ah? The children are working in the fields, and you don't even go to watch them. I am old and can't run there. What are you doing as the second master?

Soybeans are easy to deal with, but now that those precious seeds have been sown in the fields, I don’t know if they can grow. Without sorghum and sweet potatoes, does this whole family have to rely on buying food?

What a prodigal girl, what should I do now?"

Master Wu is worried!

Sesame and peanuts are very precious. It is impossible to replant sorghum and sweet potatoes if the land is destroyed. We can only take good care of them.

But no one has ever grown this thing. Does it like drought or water? The old man doesn’t understand!

Our ancestors said: There is no need to learn farming work, just do it the way others do it.

But now, what this girl grows cannot be taught even if the ancestors are alive.

Master Wu sighed and went home listlessly, planning to rest for a night and go settle the score with that troublesome girl tomorrow when he had the strength.

The village head was also wondering what this embroidering girl was thinking.

Even the old patriarch was alarmed by the disturbance made by Old Fifth Master.

The father and son were sitting in the front yard talking about this matter when Song Jinxiu came in with some snacks and humming a tune.

Seeing that the old patriarch was also there, Song Jinxiu hurriedly handed the snacks she had brought to the village head's wife. She smiled and said hello: "Greetings to the great grandfather."

The old patriarch laughed and scolded, "You naughty monkey, where did you learn all that? Tell me, what are you doing here?"

The head of the village thought to himself: She must have heard that Old Fifth Master wanted to lecture her, so she came over to explain.

Then I'll listen to what you have to say, otherwise I can't bear the scolding from Master Wu in vain, and I must get back at you, this restless girl.

Song Jinxiu didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.

When the old patriarch heard that the girl was going to open a private school, he blinked his eyes, said nothing, and just listened.

The head of the village was just about to hear why she planted sesame instead of sorghum and sweet potatoes.

As a result, this girl suddenly jumped into opening a private school.

Where does this go?

But, opening a private school?

He thought for a moment and said, "Xiu girl, I know you took Mrs. Shulin's words to heart. Don't pay attention to what those shrews say. Some people are just self-righteous and never satisfied. Your ginseng treasure is more than enough to repay her kindness."

Song Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, then she remembered what Mai Sui Niang had said when she called her ungrateful.

She smiled. "Second Grandfather, I do want to repay a favor, but not entirely. This is mainly for the children of our village. For Qiu Sheng, for Fu Gui, for Jin Fang. And also for my brother and Fu Quan."

Song Fugui is Uncle Qingshu's youngest son and is ten years old this year.

Song Jinxiu continued, "We may be poor, but we cannot be poor in education, and we cannot be hard-pressed for our children.

Moreover, as long as a private school is opened, the children can study during the day, and my brothers, uncles who want to learn to read, and aunts and sisters can also go to night school at night.

Our learning resources are not wasted at all.”

After hearing Song Jinxiu's words that education should not be neglected and children should not suffer, the old patriarch looked at Song Jinxiu with deep eyes, as if he wanted to see into her bones.

The village head narrowed his eyes and motioned her to sit down and talk.

Song Jinxiu was not pretentious. She even picked out a small chair and moved it over, sitting opposite the two old people.

The village head then slowly asked, "Do you mean that all the villagers can learn to read?"

"Yes, literacy is a major issue for the country, and even more so for our Song clan. If our Song clan wants to become a truly great clan, everyone must be literate. Only when everyone is literate can everyone be polite."

Song Jinxiu knew that her family's dominance was unstable. They had a group of children and an old mother who had remarried. It was nothing for them to become rich overnight. Hadn't the villagers and neighbors yet to react?

But as time went on, they ate delicious food and drank spicy drinks, and had slaves to order around. Once the difference became apparent, people's hearts changed.

To be honest, the Song family members are really nice, and she doesn't want to be estranged from them.

Moreover, this clan is a strong backer, and the backer cannot fail. That will only lead to everyone becoming richer.

Only when everyone is rich and the clan is strong can they live a more comfortable life.

The first step to becoming rich is literacy.

The village head was shocked by her words.

This girl has such a broad mind that he cannot match her.

For a moment, he even wanted to see her as the successor to the clan leader.

Alas! What a pity it’s a girl.

But the old patriarch sat up straight, rubbing his fingers habitually, with his eyes narrowed, like a thousand-year-old fox.

The head of the village glanced at my father and saw that he had closed his eyes again, like an old monk in meditation, oblivious to what was happening outside.

The village head smoked a cigarette with trembling hands, finally calmed down, and said:

"Opening a private school is not something that can be done overnight. Let's not talk about the house, tables and chairs, these can all be provided by our village. The biggest problem is the tuition for the teacher."

Song Jinxiu didn't understand this and asked, "How much does it cost to hire a scholar a year?"

The village head glanced at her and said, "You, I knew you wouldn't be interested in a Tongsheng. An old scholar should be a teacher, with a minimum of fifty taels a year, plus clothes for four seasons, and even annual gifts."

Song Jinxiu nodded. She could still afford the price. However, even if she could afford it, she wasn't prepared to pay for it herself. She knew she had her own way to get the money.

The head of the village still shook his head and said, "You know, it's easy to set up a private school, but it's hard to keep it going! If you run out of energy and stop it midway, your kindness may be exchanged for everyone's resentment. Girl, a little bit of kindness will be resented. Don't spoil people's appetites. Good intentions will be resented."

The village head tried to explain earnestly, fearing that the girl would act on impulse and regret it later.

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Second Grandpa, I never care what others think. I just want to live without regrets, to do good things as I wish, and not to worry about the future."

After a moment of silence, the village head suddenly said:

"Good, good thing to do, without worrying about the future. Well, I will go find you tomorrow, sir. But have you decided where to set up this academy?"

Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "Second Grandfather, to the east of the ancestral hall, the courtyard is large enough to accommodate three blue brick houses. It's perfect for classrooms, and since it's right next to the ancestral hall, our ancestors can hear the sound of their descendants reading aloud."

The head of the village was so excited by what Song Jinxiu said, but to the east of the ancestral hall, isn’t that the yard that Widow Sun just bought?

He quickly explained: "That's not an empty yard, there are people living in it."

Song Jinxiu leaned back and said nonchalantly, "I know, Second Grandpa. Why should we keep people like that in our village? We should just drive them away."

Ever since she knew that her mother's reputation as a jinx was caused by this widow Sun, she decided to take action against them.

The mistress wants to get promoted, but her methods are too despicable.

Although she couldn't harm a widow, she could still drive them away and keep them from getting in her way.

And the Song family, you'd better be quiet. Now it's not a question of whether you will cause trouble to us, but whether I will cause trouble to you.

Song Jinxiu understood that what she was about to do could be done by expelling the old Song family.
