Chapter 301 Reading
Now that the Chamber of Commerce’s issues have been resolved, Jiang Xiaohe will be able to come and go freely in the future, and no longer have to worry about someone suddenly jumping out to catch her or kill her.
Zhang Shunchang came again.
Jiang Xiaohe held her forehead slightly as she looked at Zhang Shunchang who came to her for help.
Now that he is the former village chief, and there is a thief in his family, the villagers don't like him.
He came to ask for help this time because of his youngest son.
"I heard from my son that you have opened two stores in the county now. Can you let him work in your store as a favor?"
Jiang Xiaohe looked at him and said, "Zhang Shunchang, let me tell you again, the store in that city is not mine. Ask your son to ask around. Their boss's surname is Meng."
Zhang Shunchang looked at his youngest son, who looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Although their boss's surname is Meng, they make the same food as you do in town. How dare you say that you are not in partnership!"
"That's none of your business!"
Zhang Shunchang's youngest son was so angry that his face turned red.
Zhang Shunchang thought about it and said, "Then we can go to the shop in our town."
Jiang Xiaohe was almost laughing out of anger: "Your family is really hilarious. You stole things from my house and now you want to do business in my shop? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
As soon as she said this, Zhang Shunchang's youngest son jumped up immediately: "Why did my eldest brother end up like this? Don't you know? He ended up like this because of you."
"Then what?" Jiang Xiaohe asked slowly.
"So...so you must be responsible for our family and give us an explanation."
"Bah!" Jiang Xiaohe stood up from her chair angrily.
"I have an explanation for your family. If you keep making trouble in my house, I will send you to the government office and sue you for making trouble out of nothing. Does that count as an explanation? You are putting the blame on me! Your brother Zhang Daye is reaping the consequences! If you and your father continue to make trouble here, I don't mind sending both of you to the government office!"
After Jiang Xiaohe finished speaking, she slammed the table angrily.
Now that she has everything she needs, she would be afraid of them.
When the father and son saw Jiang Xiaohe's aura, they were so frightened that they dared not speak.
In the end, it was Zhang Shunchang who adjusted himself first. He looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Xiaohe, we are from the same village. My son knows how to do accounting. Please be kind and give our family a way out." As he said this, he almost knelt down in front of Jiang Xiaohe.
Ishikawa, who was standing nearby, quickly grabbed him.
Well done.
"Stop blackmailing me with morality. I'm telling you, I have no morality towards you. Ishikawa, throw them out!"
Ishikawa nodded, picked up one in each hand, and threw them directly out the door.
Many people in the village were watching. The father and son felt ashamed, so they got up, covered their faces and ran away.
After seeing the two men leave, Ishikawa returned to the house and said, "Madam, they are gone."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded. She felt that staying in the village was boring. Every now and then, someone would come to her house to cause trouble. She called Qin Mei and said, "Let's go to the town and stay for a few days."
When Zhang Chuan heard that she was going to town, he shouted that he wanted to go with her.
Jiang Xiaohe thought about it. Zhang Chuan is about to turn three now. If possible, he should start to learn. So she said to Wang Qiuxia, "Mom, I want to take Chuan to live in the town for two days. First, he can be isolated from the gossip in the village. Second, I want to go to the town to see if there is a school that can accept him."
When Wang Qiuxia heard that she was going to send Zhang Chuan to school, she quickly wiped her hands, nodded, and said, "Okay, okay, you can take him with you. Your father and I are at home."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded. As she packed her things, she looked at Xu Xiaohua standing in the corner and thought for a moment: "Xiaohua, do you want to go to town with your aunt?"
Xu Xiaohua, who had been lowering her head, immediately raised her head, smiled, and nodded desperately.
When they arrived in the town, there were so many of them that the shops in the town could not accommodate them, so she spent several dozen taels of silver that day and bought a small courtyard in the town.
In the evening, Jiang Xiaohe pulled Zhang Chuan aside to talk: "Chuan'er, do you want to study?"
read?
Zhang Chuan was playing with the little toys he bought during the day, and asked, "Is it like the way mother usually looks at the account book?"
Jiang Xiaohe shook her head: "It's different. Reading can help you learn a lot of words, make a lot of friends, and understand the truth. Anyway, reading has many benefits."
Zhang Chuan looked at Jiang Xiaohe and frowned slightly: "Mom, if studying is really so good, then why don't all the children in our village come to town to study?"
Jiang Xiaohe thought about it and told him directly: "Because studying requires money, many families in our village do not have enough money to send their children to school."
"Does mother have enough money to send Chuan'er to school?"
Jiang Xiaohe hugged him in her arms and said with a smile: "Of course, mother has the money to send Chuan'er to school. Do you know what the term "scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans" means?"
Zhang Chuan shook his head like a rattle: "My son doesn't understand."
“Reading can make you understand.”
Zhang Chuan looked at Jiang Xiaohe.
In the dim light, Jiang Xiaohe looked at him and said, "Mother wanted to send you to school, but she didn't think that you would be really capable and stand out in the future. Mother just wanted you to understand the big picture."
Zhang Chuan didn't understand, but he finally said, "If you really want to send your son to school, then I will go."
"No, no, no, it's not Mom who wants you to think. Do you want to learn to read? Do you want to understand many truths? Do you want to have many friends?"
Zhang Chuan frowned and thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "My son wants to."
"Then tomorrow, mother will go find a school for you."
"Ah."
The next day, Jiang Xiaohe got up, had breakfast, and took Qin Mei out.
There was only one school in the town, which was said to be opened by a scholar. When he saw Jiang Xiaohe coming to his door, he was somewhat enthusiastic. After all, there were not many people in the town who sent their children to school. In addition to teaching others, the scholar also took on some copying work to barely make a living. So when Jiang Xiaohe took the initiative to come to his house to seek study, he was naturally enthusiastic.
When the scholar learned that Zhang Chuan was only two years old, he was very happy: "Two years old is good, two years old is the right time for enlightenment."
"In that case, thank you, Master." Jiang Xiaohe put down the gift and said that she would send Zhang Chuan over tomorrow.
The teacher saw them to the door.
Qin Mei said speechlessly: "Can such a person teach our young master well?"
Jiang Xiaohe laughed: "Look, I'm not in a hurry, but you are."
"Our town is small, so there are not many people who can send their children to study here. I have also inquired about it. Although his school has not produced any great figures, it has produced several students and scholars. He is a good teacher, but he was forced to do so by the situation. Moreover, he is so flexible, so I think the students he taught will not study hard and learn by heart!"
"As long as Madam thinks it's fine."
