The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

A few days later, Tong Qian led three people who looked to be around fifty years old into the courtyard.

The three had different temperaments, but they were all very kind and approachable.

"Sister Qian'er, who are they?" Ke'er looked at the three of them with confusion, not understanding why Tong Qian had brought them back.

She was one of the bolder girls in their group of children, so she spoke to Tong Qian without any reservations, saying whatever came to mind.

Tong Qian patted her head, her eyes crinkling into a smile. "Alright, these are all teachers now. Go and play with the other children."

Although Ke'er didn't understand, she didn't say anything. Although she was bold, she was also the most obedient. Since Sister Qian'er told her not to interfere, she wouldn't ask any more questions.

“Sir, these are all children from our courtyard,” Tong Qian said to the three men, addressing the group of children in front of them.

One of the elderly gentlemen, who looked extremely shrewd, nodded but didn't say anything.

Tong Qian didn't say much, but said to the children, "Everyone come here quickly, this is your other teacher."

The children initially thought the three were just guests, but they were surprised to find that they were also teachers. They immediately became much more respectful and stopped playing around, afraid of being laughed at by the teachers.

"These teachers will teach you arithmetic, calligraphy, painting, and chess respectively," Tong Qian introduced the three teachers.

These were all teachers she had carefully selected from the county. Although they were not the best, they were all of upright character and honest. Therefore, when they heard that she wanted to start a private school, they all agreed immediately.

Mr. Meng taught arithmetic, Mr. Liu taught calligraphy and painting, and Mr. Kong taught chess. Although the three of them did not know each other before, they now felt as if they had met too late.

"Greetings, gentlemen." The children were well-behaved, none of them daring to be disrespectful.

"You all play here for now. Two more 'mothers' who will teach needlework will be coming later, so you must be respectful," Tong Qian said to the group. But she knew that these children would never be able to do anything.

She has been to many places these days, hiring a total of five tutors and spending a lot of money, but she feels it's all worth it.

She quickly bought the place she had agreed upon, and her lover renovated it, removing the wall that faced the yard, making it much more airy and bright.

There were a total of ten rooms in the courtyard, arranged in two rows. Tong Qian had seven rooms set up, with twenty tables in each room. Then she asked someone to speak to Granny Wang about it.

This Granny Wang is excellent at spreading rumors, and now the whole village is buzzing with the news that Tong Qian is going to start a private school. Anyone with children in the family can attend, and girls are welcome to attend too.

The news caused an uproar throughout the village.

They were all from farming families, and who wouldn't want their children to study at a private school? But unfortunately, they simply didn't have the money, so they had no choice but to let their children farm with them at home.

This cycle continued, and for generations, they had all been farmers. Now that their children could attend private schools, how could they not be happy? However, they didn't know how much a private school would cost.

Some of the people who heard the news were quite curious and went to check out the location of the private school early on. It was a magnificent courtyard, incredibly large, with many flowers and plants planted around it. It must have cost a lot of money.

Those who wanted to send their children to private schools were tempted to abandon the idea upon hearing this news.

Of course, some people wanted to give it a try, so Tong Qian's courtyard saw a significant increase in visitors during this period.

Yun'er and Kui'er have been unable to do anything else these days but have been able to deal with these people.

There were some polite people here; they were easy to deal with. The person simply told them to go back and wait for news, and then left.

However, there were some who were difficult to deal with. Those who were difficult to deal with simply sat down in the courtyard and refused to leave, saying that they would not leave unless Tong Qian gave them an explanation.

Tong Qian almost burst out laughing when she heard this, and her hand holding the tea trembled.

"You want an explanation from me?" Tong Qian pointed to herself and asked in disbelief.

Yun'er remained gentle and did not answer immediately, but Ke'er, being precocious, immediately imitated the person's appearance.

The little girl stood with her hands on her hips, head held high, and shouted, "What's so great about her? She just has a few pennies now! Let me tell you, Tong Qian is from our village. Since this private school was founded, it belongs to this village. If she doesn't give us an explanation, I'm not leaving!"

As he spoke, he plopped down on the wooden stump next to him.

Tong Qian watched Ke'er's performance, and the smile on her lips became even more pronounced.

The others on the side were also suppressing their laughter. It must be said that although Ke'er was small, she acted very vividly, perfectly portraying the shrewishness of those people.

"You..." Tong Qian shook her head helplessly, but she wasn't angry at all.

A-Yue was a little sullen. These people were really ungrateful. There were only about a dozen children in total, but the courtyard had prepared a full 140 tables for the children in the village. But instead of being grateful, they came here to demand an explanation. There really are such shameless people in this world!

After Tong Qian finished laughing, a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

Joking aside, she really needs to address this matter.

Originally, she didn't intend for the villagers to pay for the private school, but since some people have this attitude, she can't blame them!

"Ke'er, go and tell those people outside that I will give them an explanation about the private school in two days. Tell them to wait for me at the village ancestral hall in two days." Tong Qian suppressed her coldness.

Na Ke'er looked at her with some confusion, "Sister Qian'er, they've treated you like this, why are you still thinking about explaining things to them!"

"Alright, go if I tell you to. I have my own plans for this." Tong Qian smiled and said no more.

Ke'er walked out somewhat reluctantly, her eyes full of confusion, but she dared not say anything. She could only walk to the gate and say to the people with a rather unhappy expression, "Alright, our sister Qian'er said that she will give you an explanation about the private school in two days. You can wait at the ancestral hall in two days."

After saying that, he turned and walked back without looking back, but he secretly made a mental note of these troublemakers, planning to teach them a lesson when their children arrived at the private school.
