In addition to hiring civil and military teachers, Jiang Ningning also hired several people for the school.

For example, the cook, after all, the school has to provide lunch.

Forget about breakfast and dinner, the school doesn’t care.

Bacun is not too far away, so naturally, accommodation is not provided for students, so all students go home to live. Naturally, they eat breakfast and dinner at home.

He also hired a literate person to manage the school.

The literate man's surname is Wei, and Jiang Ningning and the others call him Manager Wei.

Manager Wei has already arranged for someone to be in charge of the parents' registration. Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan don't need to help at all. They can just stand aside and watch.

This was also the first time the school was established, so Jiang Ningning wanted to come and take a look.

Actually, they don’t have to come and see it.

Suddenly, Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan were quite surprised to see the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the head of the village bringing a little girl of seven or eight years old to register.

Because apart from the Xiao family and Jiang Ningning's maternal grandparents, no other family brought girls to sign up.

"Sister, sister," the little girl suddenly ran over and looked at Jiang Ningning with bright eyes, "Are you Sister Ningning and Brother Xiao?"

"Yes," Jiang Ningning immediately bent down, imitating the girl's tone and acting like a little girl, "Who are you? What do you want from us?"

The little girl smiled shyly: "I am Yun Ya, I came to thank my sister and brother. My grandfather heard that you accept female students and asked me to study here. I never thought that a girl like me could also go to school.

I thought only my younger brother could read. It turns out I can read too. Thank you, sister and brother."

Unless the village head agrees, his eldest son and daughter-in-law would not dare to bring their daughter to register.

So, when Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan heard the little girl's words, they were neither surprised nor surprised.

After all, none of the villagers in the surrounding area were their relatives, so only the head of the village sent a girl to study.

It can be seen that there is a reason why the village head can become the village head.

Jiang Ningning touched Yun Ya's head and said, "You have a good grandfather. It's not easy for your family to support you in your studies. You must study hard."

"Yeah!" Yun Ya nodded her little head heavily.

At this time, the village head's eldest son and daughter-in-law, who had just registered, finally discovered where their daughter was and immediately became extremely frightened.

"I'm sorry, the child didn't say anything bad, did he?" The village head's eldest son and daughter-in-law both looked apologetic.

Jiang Ningning smiled and said, "No, she is very well behaved and polite. She is a good child."

The village head's eldest daughter-in-law's eyes immediately turned red as she thanked him: "Thank you so much for not charging us a tuition fee so that our daughter Yunya can go to school. We had never thought of this before."

The eldest son of the village head also had tears in his eyes. "Reading not only makes one literate, but also makes one sensible. This way, she will definitely be able to find a good husband in the future. Even if she stays at home and finds a son-in-law, she will surely be able to support the family. She is different from those who have not received education."

Jiang Ningning finally realized what it meant when parents love their children: they plan for them in the long run.

After returning from school, every time Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan met a villager, the villager greeted them.

The villagers were already very enthusiastic about them, and because of this school, everyone became even more enthusiastic.

Now, not only the villagers, but also people from other villages ten miles away often send some things from their vegetable gardens or fields to Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan's families.

Even if the four members of the Tian family pushed it back, someone would secretly deliver it again and leave it at the doors of their two families.

Jiang Ningning and the others were left helpless.

But there are only so many people in the family and they can't finish all the food, so they can only give it to the elderly and widowed people in the village or other villages.

After the news of the self-study school spread, those families in the village who had bad relations with Jiang Ningning's two families regretted it very much.

Although their family is not yet able to send any of their children to school, and even if they are not required to pay tuition, they cannot afford it, but there is no guarantee that they will not be able to afford it in the future.

What's more, there is a school right next to their home. If they really want their children to go to school one day, they naturally want their children to study nearby!

Besides, seeing that other families were getting better and better thanks to Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan's families, and even other villages were benefiting, they were still standing still...

Naturally, the families of these families cursed the person in their family who was the instigator of the bad relations between them and Jiang Ningning and Xiao Yan's families.

"Look! Look! We are from the same village, we see each other every day. We should leave some space for each other so that we can meet again in the future. If you hadn't been so excessive in the past, wouldn't our whole family have ended up on bad terms with both of their families?

It's bad enough that we don't make any money from the Ficus microcarpa seeds. They also don't hire us in their shop, in the white fungus plantation, or when they build their houses. Now they have set up a school, and even if we have the nerve to send our children there, they will definitely not let us go!

Also, look at their rice!

It's all yellow!

This is clearly a bumper harvest! Look at the heavy rice, the yield must be many times higher than everyone else's. Maybe sooner or later they'll sell rice seeds. Will we be able to buy them then?

"Everyone else eats their fill, with meat every meal, but we only have wild vegetables mixed with whole grains. After eating one meal, we worry about the next!"

Those who were scolded were already regretting it so much that they naturally dared not say a word.

Or did the other people in these families say, "How about we go and apologize to the Tian and Sun families?"

"We've been on bad terms for years, what's the point of apologizing now? What were you doing before?! I can't bring myself to go and get in front of that cold shoulder! If you want to go, you guys go, I'm not going anyway!"

When the people who made the proposal heard this, they thought it was right, but they were too embarrassed to do so.

But he was also worried: "Xiao Yan's provincial examination results are coming out soon, right? What will we do if he passes the exam? Will the Sun and Tian families take advantage of his power to retaliate against us?"

"I was worried about this last time, too, and secretly asked the village chief about it. He scolded me harshly, saying that if they really wanted to retaliate against us, they would have done it long ago. They're not that kind of person. At most, they wouldn't help us.

Anyway, he blamed us for being too extreme back then, saying we deserved this outcome. If it had been a little less extreme, he would have been able to mediate for us."

"Why is the village chief like this!" someone was dissatisfied.

"Alright, alright, since that's the case, we'll just not mess with them anymore. Especially if we really pass the imperial examination, wouldn't it be like asking for death if we mess with them again? Although life is not easy now and we can't keep up with other families, at least we can get by."

The other people in these families had no choice but to continue living their hard lives.

They believe in cause and effect.

Jiang Facai's family, except for the Li family, are not so jealous now that Jiang Ningning and the others have even set up a school.
