Chapter 766 Do Good Deeds
After Lin Chengzhi returned, An An wondered: "Did your sister really say she wanted to run a female private school in Taohua Village?"
Zhu'er nodded and said, "Eight years ago, the girl went back to Taohua Village. She said that she would run a private school in Taohua Village in the future so that the girls in Taohua Village can also study."
This was indeed what Qingshu said. But she also knew that the Lin family members rashly mentioned this topic must not agree. But now An An is willing to use the money to build the road, and Zhuer thought this time was good.
An An said with a nod, "If this private school can be really done, it can also benefit the girls of the Lin family."
Although I am now in school, I still have a small number of people who have studied. In the countryside, everyone thinks that girls are just water that they have to throw away money, and there are very few who can read.
Zhuer nodded: "As long as someone who loves his daughter, he will definitely send girls of his age to a private school to study. Therefore, this private school can definitely be run."
"I hope it can, too."
Although I don’t know how long this private school can be run, it’s good to even help one.
When he heard that Qingshu was going to build a private school in Taohua Village, Mr. Lin opposed the first one: "What kind of female private school is built? If you want to build a private school for the children of our Lin clan to study."
The Lin family didn't even have a school for boys to study, so what kind of private school is it for girls?
Lin Chengzhi shook his head and said, "Qingshu wants to build a female private school. If you are willing to build a male private school, it will be better."
Old Master Lin was choked so much that he couldn't even say a word. He wanted Lin Chengzhi to raise himself, so where did he get the money to build a clan school?
"Clan leader, An An said that if this private school was built, girls from four to eight years old in the Lin clan could go in and study, not only did they not have money, but also provided lunch."
"Then who paid all this money?"
In order to get the patriarch to agree, Lin Chengzhi said: "Qingshu said she would pay for all the fees alone. Patriarch, Dad, if you don't agree, this road will not be able to be repaired."
Old Master Lin was so angry that he gasped: "No, this girl's private school cannot be built. If we want to build it in the future, our Lin family will learn from that girl Qingshu, that's okay."
Lin Chengzhi didn't like to hear this: "Dad, I don't know how many people want daughters like Qingshu. Don't be blessed but don't know how to be blessed."
"What do you want her to do? Even if she makes money, she enjoys her own happiness. What have she done for our Lin family?"
Lin Chengzhi said, "Dad, you are wrong. My brother's job is what Qingshu has to find to find someone to take care of. I can do it today. Now Qingshu is willing to use the money to build roads and run a female private school. Dad, you are not satisfied with this and want Qingshu to do it?"
"impossible."
Lin Chengzhi directly opposed him: "If you believe it or not, you can write a letter to ask your brother."
The patriarch was also shocked: "What did you say? Did Qingshu help him with the job?"
The patriarch came back to his senses and half-believed and half-doubted: "Where does Qingshu have such great ability?"
Lin Chengzhi had a good attitude towards the clan leader: "Qingshu made friends either rich or noble, and her colleagues in Wenhua Hall had a very good family background. Her connections are much better than those of her elder brother."
The patriarch thought about the girl who followed Qingshu to Taohua Village, and then he realized that he was the eldest daughter of Duke Zhenguo. With this ability, few people could compare.
Lin Chengzhi looked at the clan leader and said, "Class leader, if the girls from our clan study, they will definitely be able to say a better marriage in the future. They are grateful to the clan, and they will also help the clan members if they have any problems in the future. They must be as capable as Qingshu, and directly benefit the clan members."
After hearing this, the patriarch immediately made a decision: "Okay, then we will build a female private school in the village. But this female gentleman will have to invite you to do that at that time."
"This is something that depends on me."
Old Master Lin was still unhappy, but the patriarch didn't care about his opinion at all. This was a matter that benefited the entire clan, so he refused only when he was stupid.
When he called Lin Chengzhi home, Old Master Lin said with anger: "I have made so much money but I don't even know the basic filial piety. They have read all their books into the dog's belly."
I donated nearly a thousand taels of silver if I say donation, but I never know how to respect him, my grandfather. How could Mr. Lin not be angry?
Lin Chengzhi did not give him any face: "The money in Qingshu and An An's hands is useless, you can't get a penny."
"Sir, do you want to piss me to death?"
Lin Chengzhi smiled and said, "Yes, I just want to piss you off! In this way, I can save five taels of silver every month."
Because it was Lin Chengzhi who supported him, Old Master Lin would not dare to scold Lin Chengzhi like before, even if he was angry. This time, he would not dare to scold him and could only stand there and breathe heavily.
Lin Chengzhi snorted and said, "It is best to put away all your wrong thoughts to avoid being embarrassed."
Qingshu paid for the road construction and wanted to build a girl's private school in Taohua Village to allow girls from the clan to study for free. As soon as this spread, some women from the Lin clan ran to the Lin family to inquire about the news.
After confirming this, parents who loved their daughter couldn't help but feel happy. As for those who treated their daughter as money-losing goods, they sneered at the moment of hearing this.
After staying in Taifeng County for two days, Mrs. Gu and An An decided to go back to Pingzhou early the next morning.
Gu Heping was reluctant to let go when he knew the two were leaving: "Auntie, when will you come back?"
Mrs. Gu shook her head and said, "I don't know yet, but I will definitely not have time to come back in the past few years."
Qingshu wants to get married and An An wants to talk about marriage, these are all things. How can you still leave at that time?
In fact, she wanted to go back to Pingzhou to retire. But Gu Xian's appearance gave up this idea. In order to live two more years, she should stay in Beijing to retire!
At this moment, Hua's mother said outside: "Old lady, the second master and the second old lady are outside now, and they said they want to see you."
The two lived in the countryside, and it was not until noon today that old lady Gu came back. As soon as he received the news, Mr. Gu rushed over in a panic.
An An frowned and said, "What are they here to do?"
When something happened to the big house, the second house's inaction made An An have no good feelings for him.
She has been having a comfortable life these years, so she has long let go of the grudges she once had: "Let them come in!"
Seeing the couple's heads full of white hair and faces full of wrinkles, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but say, "Why are you so old?"
What responded to her was Mao's violent coughing.
An An said with a serious face, "Why do you come to visit my grandmother when you are sick? What should I do if I am sick?"
After coughing, Mao stopped and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid that if I don't come to see you again this time, I will have no chance in the future."
Mrs. Gu didn't care, and waved her hand and said, "An An also cares about me, don't mind."
The last time Mrs. Gu came back eight years ago, and no one knew when it was when she came back next time.
Mao shook his head and said, "An An is so filial, I am so happy for you, sister-in-law, how could I mind if I didn't have time?"
Although she is in the countryside, she also heard that Qingshu has a great future. Qingshu has been very considerate to her sister-in-law since childhood. Now that she has a great future, her sister-in-law is not worried about no one to support her.
Mr. Gu Er asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't Qingshu come back with him?"
Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "She is so busy that she doesn't have time to come back."
Mr. Gu Er expressed his understanding.
An An was unwilling to stay here and listen to the nonsense of the two: "Grandma, I'll go back to the house to pack up my things."
After returning to the house, An An and Zhuier said, "Why do you think they have the face to see my grandmother?"
Zhu'er said, "Girls, they are all people buried in the soil. Why bother to compete with them? If you don't like it, just don't pay attention."
An An said, "Fortunately, I will go back to Taifeng County tomorrow."
She was really impatient to deal with these people, so she went back earlier and saw nothing.
