Chapter 233 Unchanged Mind

Three days later, the village chief organized a villagers' meeting and invited Wang to talk to everyone. Wang knew that the school was going to recruit female students. Seeing that the third child had never stopped after returning from the capital, he felt sorry for his son, so when Li Mingli proposed to ask Wang to talk about this at the villagers' meeting, Wang did not object.

"The purpose of our family's desire to run this school is to allow more children to study and learn to read. If they have good qualifications and like to study, we will definitely support them with full support." Wang took a break for a while, looked at the villagers and continued.

"Everyone knows that our family has changed a lot over the years. People who don't know the situation outside may think that my family has been in progress. Only our own people know how much they have done. So we say that our Yunlan has gone from not knowing big words to being able to write poetry and essays now! When we were at home, we could also talk to Mingren's son about his knowledge of being a person and being an official."

When Li Mingli heard this, he quickly winked at Wang. He thought to himself, my mother, I asked you to say something to praise my sister-in-law, but I didn’t let you talk nonsense like this!

Wang knew that she had said it, so she couldn't take it back and continued: "Hehe~ Whether it's a boy or a girl, you have to recognize some words that will be useful in the future."

Wang didn't want to say anything anymore, and signaled to the village chief to come and continued, saying that Li Chunsheng had already prepared, so he said, "Now our Lijia Village is different. This is not something I can talk nonsense, but what everyone can feel. In the past two years, the matchmakers have come to Lijia Village frequently, and the big girls and young men in the village can find good families. If the children at home know a few more words, they will not be looked up to by others."

The villagers whispered to each other. Everyone might not be able to clearly feel the things about Zhao Yunlan mentioned by Wang, but everyone did see the changes in Lijia Village mentioned by the village chief.

"The conditions in our village are getting better now, and everyone is starting to think about sending their children to study, but this schooling is not just a boy, but also a girl." The village chief paused after saying that.

The villagers were a little excited, but they didn't make a quarrel. The village chief continued: "Mingren and his wife have all the children in our village. No matter whether they are boys or girls, they don't say much. The expenses for each family are limited. You can go back and discuss."

The villagers were talking in a low voice again, and Li Mingli coughed inadvertently.

Li Bao said loudly: "My daughter is at home every day for envying his younger brother for going to school, so I thought I could also send my eldest daughter to school to study."

Li Mingli nodded, knowing that her mother wanted to talk to her about the Zhao girl.

Zhang Mei continued: "Village Chief, my daughter is going to go to school to study."

When he got home, Li Mingli wanted to go back to his yard, but was called by Wang. He watched the third brother come back from the capital. He became much more steady and became more energetic. He was so busy that he didn't even care about his own affairs every day.

Now it's time for Li Mingli to come on stage: "Don't worry, we will have a female gentleman to teach the girls, and we will think of the problems we worry about."

It was indeed Li Mingli who went to find these two families in advance, and understood them with reason and emotion. These two families naturally accepted their daughter's schooling. Moreover, it would be impossible to read more. Look at Zhao Dong's family, everyone understands it in their hearts.

Li Mingli: "Isn't this a busy person? I think I'll ask my mother again after I'm busy. Besides, my mother will definitely help me with the big marriage."

"Mom~" Li Mingli sighed and said, "The parents' orders and matchmaker's words are the only ones who decide."

A woman asked now, "It's not appropriate for the daughters to study with the boys."

After saying that, Li Mingli didn't stop for a long time, and helped Wang go home.

Wang saw it and said indifferently: "Later, it was the school business. I followed your father to the village chief Zhao's house and met the six girls again. He was generous and unscrupulous in dealing with people and things. It was obvious that the child had a good temperament, but he was also kind and honest..."

Village Chief Li: "Okay, I can go to the school to report directly tomorrow."

"You didn't mention this when you came back."

"Mom, I didn't change my mind."

Li Chunsheng nodded: "Okay! You have thought about it. If you still want to send your daughter to school, you can also consider it."

Li Mingli: "In the future, our family will give priority to literacy, and the literacy wages will be higher than those who cannot literate. Of course, when we hire new workers, we will not teach everyone to literate separately during work."

Zhang Mei did not think that the village chief looked down on him, so she said, "Uncle, I have some savings. Everyone knows that I work in the soap shop, and the Zhao Dong family has never treated us badly. Moreover, I have learned a lot of words with Zhao Dong family, but I think it is far from enough. I just thought that my daughter could read more books and be as capable as the Zhao Dong family in the future."

Li Mingli was caught off guard by Wang's question and was stunned for a while.

After hearing this, everyone asked each other, wanting to see if there were anyone who wanted to send girls to school.

Wang: "Let's sit down and chat."

"In the past few months when you were not at home, my mother went to Zhaojiagou several times. One was that your Uncle Zhao's house had a grandson. Miss Zhao Liu was there that day, and she looked like an honest child."

"Third brother, have you changed your feelings about the six girls of Village Chief Zhao's family?" Wang asked.

At first, Wang wanted to find a smarter wife for the third child, so that she could complement Li Mingli's personality and help take care of her family affairs.

Li Mingli's lips raised unconsciously.

Li Mingli didn't say anything, Wang continued, "You know the changes in our family, so Miss Zhao Liu may..."

Li Chunsheng frowned, looked at Li Mingli, and asked Zhang Mei: "You are going to bear the burden of your two children. It's not that you look down on you, but that studying and literacy is not a trivial matter. Although it means that Ren and his wife are doing good things in this school, you are just a woman."

In fact, Wang wants to say that his temperament is similar to that of the third brother before. He is a bit stupid. It is just that he is a girl's house, so it is not easy to pay attention to others behind the scenes.

"Okay, you can go back and discuss. If you have children at home who want to study, you will be sent to the school to sign up tomorrow." The village chief looked at Li Mingli to see if he had anything to add.

Li Mingli: "I didn't make arrangements. I did some homework for them. They are all people with ideas."

On the way, Wang asked in a low voice: "Did you arrange the Li Bao family and Zhang Mei?"

Wang shook his head helplessly and said, "I mean, I'm worried that Miss Zhao will be unhappy after marrying into our family. After all, the difference between the two families is too big. If you go to the capital, you should know that the official family is not easy. Just look at your eldest sister-in-law and your second sister-in-law."

Li Mingli raised his head, opened his mouth but said nothing.

Wang: "If the Zhao family girl really wants you, mother can also try it. In the end, if you become a girl from Zhao, you will have to take care of the Zhao family more. If you can't become a girl, you can't act impulsively."

Li Mingli smiled again on his face: "I'll ask my mother to take care of her son, so that his son can tell the difference."
