Chapter 430
C430 – A Guy Who Is Thickskinned
Liu Gui did not quite understand what Zhang Xiaolong meant, so he explained again, “In short, you need to pay for your school fees, but the school can pay for you first. This is equivalent to you borrowing a loan from the school, and you will need to repay the loan in the future. However, you can make the loan more flexible, and the purpose of this loan is to compensate the teachers who came here to teach.”
“Is this really possible?” Liu Gui was in disbelief.
“We should not place our hopes on others’ sacrifices. If every kind-hearted person only gets sacrifices and contributions, then there will be fewer and fewer people who know how to sacrifice and contribute. At the very least, they will be forced to do so. After all, they are human beings, and they need to support their families. It is impossible for them to float in the sky like saints and let others worship them. Letting those teachers who came here to teach us to receive a good fruit for their kind-heartedness, at least let them have the money to support their families. This is a kind of reward.” Zhang Xiaolong asked, “And our villagers can also benefit from this. In the future, no matter if our family is rich or our children are rich, we will repay this money, and the school will not suffer too much loss. What do you think?”
“No, no, no. I’m not saying that this is not good, but…” Liu Gui hesitated, “I mean, isn’t this thinking too much? They spent so much money to build a school for us, and now our children need to borrow money from them to go to school. Is this really possible?”
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said, “There is nothing impossible. Since we are going to build Hope School, we will definitely not just build a house and leave. It is just like how farmers plant their crops. When the school is built, it is just a seed buried in the ground. However, if we don’t water it or fertilize it, then what is the point of being a farmer? We are just putting on airs. Farmers don’t play with empty words. Since we are going to plant, we have to count on the harvest. Therefore, since we have already planted the seeds, we have to follow up with watering, fertilizing, and management. At the very least, we have to make sure that everyone in the school can absorb the nutrition.”
“If that is really possible, then that would be great.” Liu Gui was a little excited. The barren and backward environment here had suffocated them for a long time. In the past two years, many families had already left the mountain. However, those who had the ability had slowly left the mountain. “But Xiaolong, this is your idea after all. Do you know about that school? After all, you said that you want them to pay for it. How could we have the face to say that?”
Lee Yan, who was chatting with Yanzi, also chimed in, “Don’t worry, you won’t be able to say anything. Just let this thick-skinned guy do it. He has a lot of face, and he can talk to anyone.”
Actually, Lee Yan did not know who was the one who was managing the school, but she knew Zhang Xiaolong’s character. With his character of being generous and generous, he would definitely not say such empty words here. Since he had already said it, he would definitely pay for it.
“Xiaolong knows the person who donated the money to build the school? That’s great!” Liu Gui was completely convinced, “Yanzi, if this matter is successful, you can go to school. Even if I have to risk my life to earn money, I will definitely provide for you!”
“Dad, I will definitely study hard!” Yanzi’s eyes were filled with tears.
Although she was a little old, she had always wanted to do something since she was young. Now, she could finally fulfill her wish. Just like Liu Gui, even if she had to risk her life to do it, she would be willing to give it a try.
“Xiaolong, you are really our benefactor. Not only will you have good luck in this life, you will also be rewarded in your next life.” After hearing what was said in front of her, Zaohua also came over and said excitedly.
Zhang Xiaolong quickly waved his hand and smiled, “The next life is too far away. It’s not something that we can think about. Even if there is no next life, we still have to do what we should do. So, what I am more concerned about is this life. Just like the people who are still living in the village, what should we do in the future?”
Liu Gui and Zaohua looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
What else could they do? Although the problem with the school could be solved, the villagers could only try their best to send their children to school. Their generation could be considered to have no hope. They could only hope that the next generation would be able to have a better future. It would be great if they could walk out of this mountain and live a good life without worry.
“So what? I still have to go to work. Otherwise, how can I earn money? Without money… I have no other choice.” Liu Gui sighed.
Even if Zhang Xiaolong could solve the problem of the school, he still had to return the money. When the child could earn money, that would be a matter of many years later. Besides, which parents would be willing to put all their burdens on their children?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zaohua opened her mouth, but she didn’t say anything. She knew that what the man said was reasonable. Even if they didn’t want to separate, they had to endure it for their daughter and for the future.
Seeing the helpless look in the family’s eyes, Zhang Xiaolong couldn’t help but sigh. In the Cloud Mist Mountain, who knew how many families were like this? Their family was just one of them. It was not something that could be solved with just some money.
“Don’t rush to work.” Zhang Xiaolong thought for a moment, “After the matter with the school is settled, I still want to develop a business here. At that time, I might need some manpower. There are few young men in the village, so I might need Mr. Liu’s help. Can you do it?”
“Business? What business can there be in this mountain? Oh, oh, oh, I understand. I won’t ask, but they said that this is a business secret!” Liu Gui blurted out, then blamed himself for being too talkative.
He felt that Zhang Xiaolong was a good person. Not to mention that it was impossible for him to do anything bad, in other words, even if Zhang Xiaolong really wanted to do something illegal here, he could not say it out loud.
Other people had saved his daughter, and they were so devoted to saving the school. If they were to think of doing something bad to others, it would be too much.
As long as the deed was not too immoral, it would not be able to erase Zhang Xiaolong’s virtuous halo.
Zhang Xiaolong was also a farmer, so he immediately understood the other party’s gaze. “Don’t worry, it’s not something illegal. I have my eyes on the wild herbs and medicinal herbs in this place. You know, these things can be sold for a lot of money outside!”
“Wild herbs?” Yan Zi and his family were surprised. They did not expect the things they ate every day to be worth so much.
However… It didn’t seem to be possible, right? Although their place was closed off, there were still many people who went out to work. If these things were really so valuable, why didn’t anyone have the intention to touch them?
“Xiaolong, you… Are you sure? If we are talking about wild herbs, there are indeed a lot of them in the mountains. We don’t know much about medicinal herbs, but we have seen some ordinary ones. Although there aren’t as many wild herbs as there are wild herbs, if you want to get them, you can get a lot of them every day. If these things can be sold for money, they would have been dug up by others long ago,” Liu Gui advised, “I know you are kind-hearted and want to help us, but this is not a long-term solution. If you want to live, you have to learn to climb higher. If others drag you down, you won’t live long.”
