I just don’t have the resources or that much money.
Not to mention, if the child is sent to school at a young age, he must be accompanied by an adult. There are only so many strong laborers in the family.
One less person means less work and less money.
How can such a big family survive if they can't make any money?
But if this school is at your doorstep, the teacher is ready, and it doesn’t cost as much as sending it to the town, who wouldn’t want their children to be literate?
As long as there are children in the village, who will think about how much money Ning Pengpeng paid?
No matter how much money she pays, it is for the children in the village.
No matter how good she was before, now, in the eyes of these people, Ning Pengpeng is a good person.
If Ning Pengpeng knew what they were thinking, he would definitely sneer.
The things she did were not as kind as the villagers thought.
Therefore, when the people who helped the Ning family build a house saw Ning Pengpeng handing it over, they all smiled like flowers at her.
"What happened to them?"
Ning Pengpeng's hair stood up because of the laughter. She pulled Wang aside and asked in a low voice.
Mrs. Wang gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up and whispered back.
"Mom, I just said that what you do must have a reason. Now the whole village is grateful to our family!"
Especially her parents' family, which started selling cakes a few days ago. After seeing the money coming in, the children no longer need to go hungry!
Now that she learned that Ning Pengpeng was going to build a school, her second brother Wang Deyin started thinking about sending his eldest son to the school to prevent his son from being blind like his father.
Before, when I was working in the fields in the village, I didn't even notice it.
When he went to town to sell cakes, he found it difficult to count with his fingers when there were many people and the amount of cakes he bought.
Several times, I miscalculated the money, and I was upset about it for a long time when I came back.
Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. Even though she said so, the field hasn't been bought yet, the teacher hasn't been hired yet, and the school hasn't been built yet!
"Aunt Ning."
Ning Pengpeng soon focused on her new house. She was thinking that when the house was built, she would have a big house and a big bathtub!
A weak voice came from behind.
Ning Pengpeng turned her head and looked around, only to see Liu Daya with a piece of white cloth tied on her forehead, and holding Liu Xiaoya's hand, who was still a little pale.
Liu Daya saw Ning Pengpeng turn her head, so she pulled Liu Xiaoya and knelt down to her.
Ning Pengpeng was shocked and took several steps back.
Liu Daya pressed Liu Xiaoya's head and kowtowed three times to Ning Pengpeng sincerely.
"Aunt Ning, thanks to you, Xiaoya was fine."
When Ning Pengpeng heard Liu Daya's words, she was speechless for a moment.
After all, Liu Lezi died, leaving a pile of debts and Liu Yaozong's son to Liu Daya.
Of course, because Liu Lezi is gone, there is no one to support Liu Yaozong anymore, so as long as Liu Daya can stand up, she can be the head of the Liu family!
But Liu Daya, after all, is only twelve years old now, the same age as Ning Youxi, but she is already as sensible as if she had been reborn.
"Before, I just came over to apologize to you out of joy. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. Saving your sister was just a matter of convenience."
"There's nothing wrong with Youxi. I couldn't think of it myself before. No matter whether you were smooth or not, it is a fact that you saved Xiaoya. Xiaoya and I will remember this kindness for the rest of our lives."
Liu Daya didn't know if he had experienced life and death, and all his original anger and resentment had completely disappeared. He smiled openly at Ning Pengpeng, then pulled Liu Xiaoya to stand up and turned around to leave.
Ning Pengpeng thought that was the end, but she didn't expect that after that day, a basket of tender grass for the cattle would be left at the door of Ning's house every day.
Ning Pengpeng didn't react at first, but it was like this every day, so there was no chance that he hadn't encountered it.
Whenever Ning Pengpeng said that there was no need to give it away tomorrow, after all, the second child was always responsible for the grass fed to the cows.
Now that Liu Daya had taken this job away, Ning Laoer suddenly jumped a little.
But no matter what Ning Pengpeng said and Ning Laoer jumped around, Liu Daya still delivered a basket of young grass every day, rain or shine.
Seeing how stubborn she was, Ning Pengpeng thought about the money she had spent on treating Liu Xiaoya before. She could have asked Liu Leizi for it.
But Liu Lezi was dead, and she was embarrassed to ask such a brat like Liu Daya for it, so she had to forget it!
"That's all, since Liu Daya is willing to cut the young grass and deliver it to her every day, it should be her payment for Liu Xiaoya's medical treatment!"
On the third day that Ning Pengpeng stayed at home, shopkeeper Su came holding the kimchi jar with a face full of surprise.
"Aunt Ning's craftsmanship is indeed superb. She can make such an ordinary dish so delicious. No wonder you said you wanted to use it as a signature before.
By the way, I came this time to tell Aunt Ning that the boss has sent people to Sichuan and Sichuan to look for the peppercorns you mentioned.
Second, everything is ready in the state capital, all they need is this sugar cane!
So, you can inform the whole village today to cut down the sugar cane early tomorrow morning, and I will send someone to pull it out."
"Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Su, this is great news.
It's better that I introduce you to my upright nephew. You should have met him before. You can rest assured that nothing will go wrong when he does things.
Regarding the matter of harvesting sugar cane, you can also send someone to contact him, so that you will not have to make a special trip to the village for this matter."
Ning Pengpeng didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. She was overjoyed and said to Shopkeeper Su.
"What are your plans, Aunt Ning? If you can make money, you must tell me!"
Shopkeeper Su immediately wondered if Ning Pengpeng had given her the signature kimchi, so she tried to figure out what good stuff to make.
"Shopkeeper Su really flatters the old woman too much. The old woman just wants to find a matchmaker in the town and buy thirty acres of land for the clan to use as a sacrificial field.
It’s just that such a large area of land is really hard to find, so it takes some effort.”
In ancient times, land was the life of farmers.
No one would sell their lifeblood unless they had to!
Of course, more land is in the hands of rich households and officials.
For them, they will not sell this land casually.
Therefore, Ning Pengpeng said that buying thirty acres of land for the clan could not be done in a short time.
You have to go to the middleman in the town and ask him to help guard it. If anyone takes action, he will notify them.
The most likely possibility is that it is scattered in pieces in the east and west.
However, this will make farming a lot more troublesome.
Even if there are pieces of land here and there, you have to try your luck.
