Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

As soon as Chang's mother heard her daughter mention the school in Guojiacun, her original friendly attitude changed almost instantly.

Chang Pingning didn't understand why her mother had such strong objections to the school in Guojiacun, and even refused to let Yanyan continue to inquire.She looked at her sister-in-law, wanting to know from her face why her mother had such a big reaction.

He Jiaojiao closed her mouth tightly and signaled Chang Pingning with her eyes not to continue talking.

Chang Pingning was worried that something was wrong with Meng Xia's school, and deliberately ignored her sister-in-law's reminder. She took the initiative to tell her mother about the situation at the school.

"Mom, in the school in our village, there is only one teacher who is not a monk. But he only teaches the villagers how to read." Chang Pingning observed his mother's face as he said it, thinking that she was worried about what her sister wanted to do. I want to study there.

"Didn't Yanyan almost recognize the characters a few years ago? It's useless even if she goes there." Chang Pingning said and looked at Chang Pingyan again, "Don't think about going to our village to study. use."

Unexpectedly, Chang Pingyan snorted after listening to her sister's words. Then she saw her mother glaring at her, and hurriedly avoided her eyes and whispered: "This is not what mother is worried about."

Chang Pingning looked at her mother in confusion. Sure enough, it was the same as her sister complained. After she explained, the look on her mother's face did not change.

"Mom, what happened to the school in our village?" Chang Pingning felt a burst of unknown worry in his heart, "The female gentleman who does not bind me has helped me a lot. My stall at the port is now so profitable, thanks to her. "

At the stall at Chang Ping Ning Port, Chang Ping An is now mainly cooking charcoal-grilled oysters there. The wages are fixed every day, which has greatly improved the Chang family's life recently.

He Guangfen thought of his eldest son who had recently taken money home, and his eldest daughter-in-law who was sitting beside him. It was obvious that he had become a lot richer recently.

He Guangfen sighed and looked at Chang Pingning helplessly: "If you don't practice cultivation, you will teach a girl how to read. What good ideas can you think of?"

"Ah?" Chang Pingning's expression was very confused, "Mom, where did you hear this news? Meng Xia - she is Mr. Unrestricted Xiu. Meng Xia taught the people in the village how to read for the sake of our village. Every household here can keep their own accounts.

"And she not only teaches the female dolls, but also teaches the aunts and uncles in the village. If some sisters-in-law want to learn, they can also learn. If people from other villages want to learn, they can also come. Anyway, teaching one person is teaching, and teaching a group is also teaching."

Chang Pingning told her mother what Meng Xia had told her.

"Is that so?" He Jiaojiao was surprised. She glanced at her mother-in-law and found that the expression on her face was also surprised, so she explained for her, "My aunt and I, and when my mother came here earlier, we The news in both villages was distorted."

After hearing her sister-in-law's explanation, Chang Pingning was even more confused. She looked at her mother and sister-in-law: "What happened? Meng Xia is very good to me. And I have been going to school recently to teach some aunts how to make seafood, etc. After they learn how to cook, they can make a lot of money by cooking for wealthy people from other places."

Hearing what his daughter said, He Guangfen sighed: "I guess the Lady Meng you mentioned offended someone. She was obviously doing good things, but when the news spread to several villages near us, it was already gone. .”

Looking at his daughter's puzzled expression, He Guangfen explained cryptically: "You can't afford to go early without any profit. There are few places in the village where people can learn to read. Recently, rich people from the town have often come to your village. Everyone knows that , those female dolls were taught for the rich people in the town."

The tone was disdainful, sounding like suspicion that the dolls taught in their village were for the amusement and enjoyment of the rich in town.

Chang Pingning opened her mouth to explain to her mother, but she heard her mother ask her again.

"Otherwise, why don't you restrain yourself and cultivate?"

"So, they think I'm hiding something evil by teaching them how to read?" Meng Xia laughed angrily, "I understand that everyone has no money in their pockets, so I used the school as a place to teach them how to read and received nothing. Now they suspect that I have ulterior motives. Already?"

The next day in the Liu family kitchen, Meng Xia asked angrily after hearing the news that Chang Pingning conveyed to her.

Liu Qingwan on the side was also very angry after hearing the news brought back by Chang Pingning, and the smile disappeared from her face. "Ms. Chang, did you hear this in your natal village? Are there such rumors in our village?" Liu Qingwan asked calmly.

Chang Pingning shook his head.She was frightened by Liu Qingwan's demeanor, and vaguely felt some kind of oppression from the superiors. She even regretted telling the two of them the news for a moment.

Meng Xia was getting angry and snorted coldly: "If people from Guojia Village are spreading such rumors, they will probably reach our ears soon. I guess it is people from other villages who are telling nonsense. Some time ago, people from other villages came to ask I want to teach little boys how to read.

"I told them that we only teach literacy. If you want to take the exam, you still need to find a teacher in the school. Some people still sent their children after hearing this." After Meng Xia finished speaking, he looked at Chang Pingning and Liu Qingwan, obviously they had Some kind of guess.

Chang Pingning could understand that the Guo family gave Mr. You a lot of things in order to send their two younger brothers to school, but in her mother-in-law's view, the articles Mr. You taught were not practical at all.

"Find someone to check?" Liu Qingwan looked at the angry Meng Xia and suggested.

Meng Xia couldn't help laughing and pointed at herself: "Me? Or should Mrs. Chang go check it out?"

Liu Qingwan's eyes moved back and forth between Chang Pingning and Meng Xia. In the end, she did not answer Meng Xia's question, but asked Meng Xia: "Then what are you going to do?"

Meng Xia thought for a moment: "Never mind, forget about this rumor." Then looking at the stunned expressions of the two people in front of him, he smiled and asked: "Will this affect what I want to do?"

Chang Pingning was stunned and exchanged a confused look with Liu Qingwan. Neither of them understood what Meng Xia wanted to say.

Meng Xia smiled when he saw this.He replied calmly: "It won't affect anything. Since it won't affect what I want to do, I don't need to worry about it.

"Most of the people who come to the school now are from Guojia Village. I just hire some people from there to help me. It doesn't matter if people from other villages come or not, and I don't rely on this to make money." Meng Xia was confident, and it sounded like It seems to make sense.

Chang Pingning was shocked. For a moment, she even felt that Meng Xia's body was glowing.

Looking at Liu Qingwan again, Chang Pingning found that she had no intention of raising objections and asked proactively: "What if the rumors affect the existing students?"

Meng Xia was stopped by Chang Pingning's question and was silent for a long time.

Just when Chang Pingning thought Meng Xia wouldn't say anything, she heard Meng Xia say.

"What a vicious rumor."

Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan discussed for a while, but before the results of the discussion could be reached, Butler Liu came to the kitchen to remind them that it was time to prepare lunch.

Chang Pingning knew it was time to leave. She said goodbye to Liu Qingwan and Meng Xia, saying that if there was anything she could do, she could call her at Guo's house.

Chang Pingning was worried that the rumors would affect Meng Xia's school, but there had been no changes in the village. She still went to the school in the afternoon to teach her aunts cooking skills as usual.

I wonder if Meng Xia and Liu Qingwan thought of some countermeasures and did not tell Chang Pingning.

However, a few days later, when Chang Pingning went to the school again to teach how to cook seafood, he saw that Meng Xia was the only one in the room where the school taught. (End of chapter)
