Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

After the first batch of jade ore was mined, Zhang Dong took it to the city for testing. He was told that the jadeite content was extremely high, and that the mine where he worked was of great mining value.

Zhang Dong was overjoyed. After returning, he was even more motivated and continued to recruit more people and expand the scale of production.

Through their efforts, the output of their jade mine increased day by day.

As for the villagers of Black Tiger Village, the able-bodied men began to work in the jade mines, while the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled were put into the breeding farms by Zhang Dong, who arranged jobs for them as much as he could.

The villagers were all deeply moved.

"Oh my, I can see now that Zhang Dong is genuinely trying to do practical things for our village, and he's not just talking big."

"Yes, yes, I also feel that choosing Zhang Dong was the best thing we ever did, without a doubt."

"Haha, that's right. I remember that mining development company in the provincial capital back then, they even tried to bribe us with small favors. How laughable..."

After Zhang Dong developed the jade mine in Heihu Village, even the old village chief Li Qingshan said that his prestige was even higher than his own as village chief.

Zhang Dong understood that the villagers said this because he had provided them with work within his capabilities.

Moreover, their wages are paid on time every month, with the money deposited into their accounts.

Even his former enemies, Zhang Laizi and his wife, who now receive a large sum of money every month, speak highly of him.

As for Li Sancheng, now that he's his own security captain, it goes without saying.

In fact, even if Xinda Mining Company in the provincial capital hadn't pulled this stunt, Zhang Dong's idea was to promote the successful experience from their Woniu Village after starting mining here.

Today, Black Tiger Village is thriving. Every time Village Chief Li Qingshan sees him, he is beaming with joy, calling him the village's God of Wealth...

But on this day, Zhang Dong heard that several miners in the mine suddenly proposed to leave their jade mine and go to work elsewhere.

After receiving this news from Li Sancheng, Zhang Dong felt very strange.

To put it bluntly, the miners at the mines he developed had the best treatment in the area.

This has always been Zhangdong's principle: never mistreat the workers.

But why did they still choose to leave? And more than a dozen at once—did they really think the outside world was so wonderful?

"Did you ask them why they wanted to leave?"

Upon hearing the question, Li Sancheng quickly told Zhang Dong, "Boss, I've already asked them. The reason they left our mine is because our Black Tiger Village is very remote, making it difficult for the children to go to school."

Upon learning of this situation, Zhang Dong summoned these dozen or so miners.

He felt that since so many miners had left, he should talk to them in person.

Seeing Zhang Dong, these miners even felt a little ashamed.

“Oh, Mr. Zhang, we’re leaving not because the pay is bad, but because our child needs to go to school. If we don’t let our child go to school, their life will be ruined.”

Another tall miner chimed in, "Yeah, boss, that's how we are now, but what about the kids? They're so young. They can't be farmers for the rest of their lives like us."

"Back then, we suffered because we were uneducated; none of us ever went to school..."

"That's right, Mr. Zhang. Because this area is so remote, there are practically no schools here."

“I made up my mind before that I would sell everything I own to send my son to school. Now that my son is of school age, I can’t let him down for the rest of his life, so I plan to leave here and go to work in a place with schools.”

"Alas, it's hard to leave one's homeland. No matter how luxurious a place is, it's not as good as one's own earthen home. We don't want to leave either. If we leave, all that will be left at home are our old parents..."

Hearing the tearful lament of these dozen or so miners, Zhang Dong was deeply moved.

He had previously thought that there was something about his mine that the miners were unhappy about, which was why these dozen or so miners were planning to leave.

It turns out it was because of the child's education, which is no small matter.

This is indeed the case.

This Black Tiger Village is located in a remote area. The people who came from the provincial capital said that it was a desolate place, which was indeed a true reflection of their Black Tiger Village.

Since their departure was due to school issues, could I help them resolve their child's schooling problem?

After the miners left, Zhang Dong pondered for most of the day.

He eventually made a decision: he would invest in building a primary school for the village and the surrounding villages.

He had already seen the location of Black Tiger Village. If a primary school were built here, children from several nearby villages would be able to attend school nearby.

The next morning, Zhang Dong found the old village chief and told him his thoughts.

Upon hearing that Zhangdong was going to build a primary school, Li Qingshan slapped his thigh.

He had just sat down when he jumped up excitedly.

The next second, Li Qingshan burst out laughing and grabbed Zhang Dong's arm, shaking it violently.

The old village chief's series of actions startled Zhang Dong.

"Hey old village chief, don't scare me like that. You seem to be having an epileptic seizure."

"Hahaha—" Li Qingshan laughed loudly: "Brother, it's not that I'm having epilepsy. If you can build a primary school for our village, that would be a great deed. Even if I had epilepsy, I would have no regrets."

Zhang Dong waved his hand: "Let's not talk about that for now. I was also deeply moved. Those dozen or so miners were planning to leave their homes because of their children's education."

"But I could tell they didn't want to leave the village either; it was just that their children's education was a major concern."

“When we talked about the children’s schooling before, they were very emotional, which gave me this idea. This is my way of giving back to the villagers.”

"Oh, Brother Zhang Dong, thank you so much! I knew I hadn't misjudged you, brother. What can I say?"

As he said this, Li Qingshan's eyes turned red, and he even had the idea of ​​kowtowing to Zhang Dong.

"Hey, old village chief, why are you thinking about shedding tears? Don't be like that, it's just investing in building a school."

Li Qingshan rubbed his eyes: "Cough cough, damn it, I'm so touched. Zhang Dong, only someone as rich and powerful as you would dare to say something like that. It's just investing in building a school."

"Damn, I really admire you."

"Don't even mention our Black Tiger Village, even the town can't afford this amount of money. You, the boss, are really rich and powerful."

"Hey, old village chief, let's stop with this nonsense and discuss the specific details."

Next, after discussion, the old village chief and Zhang Dong agreed that Zhang Dong would provide the money and materials, while Black Tiger Village would provide the labor.
