As soon as the news of Lin Zian's arrest came out, not only did his family panic, but Lin Feng was so angry at home that he smashed his cup, "How dare you, Lin Changqing, do such a great job!" "Uncle, you
Come up with an idea, what should we, the head of the family, do?" After Lin Zian's mother-in-law learned the news, she immediately came to Lin Feng's house and begged him with runny noses and tears.
Lin Feng glanced at Zi An's family with disgust, "Okay, don't cry. It's not a big deal. He just wanted to kill the dog. Even if he was sent to the county government, he wouldn't be convicted of any serious crime. You go to Lin Zhu
That girl can just apologize as a gift.
, took the children with him, and knelt in front of her house and kowtowed, not believing that she would not obey." Lin Feng saw the matter very clearly, and also knew that Lin Zian only had a few more blows when he came to the county government, and he was an old treacherous man.
Damn it, he came up with such a bad idea again.
So Lin Zian's mother-in-law took her children, big and small, to kneel in front of Lin Zhu's house, attracting many villagers to watch. Their whole family was wearing rags and knelt at the gate. The one on the left begged for mercy and then
The cry for mercy was really miserable. The people in the village were pointing and looking at Lin Zhu's house with some unknown meaning.
Arresting people and taking them to the county government is a big deal here. In rural villages, if something happens that cannot be solved by an individual, he or she usually goes to the village chief, clan elders, or opens an ancestral hall. It is rarely sent to the government. Now Lin Zhu’s decision
, so that the people in Lin's village changed from sympathizing with her experience, and Lin Zi'an's family and their children cried and knelt down again.
People always tend to sympathize with the weak when they beg for mercy, and now the weak has become Lin Zian's family. If Lin Zhu insists on sending Lin Zian to the Yamen, it will be a bit unreasonable. After all, the villagers still don't know the rumors that slander Lin Zhu.
It was all spread by Lin Zian, because Lin Zhu and the others were just guessing and had no evidence.
After discussing with everyone, Lin Zhu made a concession, but it was conditional. Lin Zian had to compensate Lin Zhu ten taels of silver. This amount of money was decided after discussion between Lin Zhu and Lin Changqing. It not only made Lin Feng feel sad, but also made Lin Zhu feel sad.
It wasn't like he couldn't get it out. Moreover, Lin Zhu had already thought about the use of the money.
There are several villages around Linjia Village. But if you want to send your children to study, you have to go to the town, eat and live there. Many families can't afford to send them, and of course they can't afford to hire someone to teach at home.
It’s a teacher. So it’s very difficult for the children here to recognize a few words. Therefore, Lin Zhu wants to set up a village school in Linjia Village and hire a teacher.
Lin Zhu has already thought about the place. He will buy some tables, chairs and benches in the ancestral hall. The husband will give him a salary of one or two silver per month, which Lin Zhu pays for himself. People in Linjia Village will take turns taking care of the food, so that the village school can be run.
. Each student receives five cents per month, which is only sixty cents a year. They have food and accommodation at their own homes. In addition to spending some paper money, they also save a lot of expenses. In this way, some children
Now that I'm old enough, here
Scholars are highly respected, and it is much easier for those who are literate to find work outside. Every month, the teacher will judge the top three and reward them with pens, inks, paper and inkstones. The children will be more enthusiastic about reading. In this way, Linjia Village
Everyone in the country is grateful for Lin Zhu's benevolence and righteousness. If someone speaks ill of Lin Zhu, the people of Linjia Village will definitely be on Lin Zhu's side. And those who speak ill of him will definitely be flooded with comments from the people of Linjia Village.
Lin Zhu told Lin Changqing his thoughts, and Lin Changqing agreed, "This is a good idea. It not only uses Lin Feng's money, causing him pain, but also gets a good reputation, and spends the money in the village. This way
Once you come, people in the village will definitely be grateful to you, and no one will dare to say bad things about you anymore." Lin Changqing was very happy. This was also a meritorious deed of him as the village chief, and he would also do so in the future.
It can be written into the family tree. "But since children from other villages can come here, it is not easy to use the ancestral hall. There is also a courtyard here in the west of the village, but it is a bit dilapidated. The owner of this house has no children and is dead.
Later, the house will belong to the village, but we can tidy up the place so that our husband can live there and use it as a school. What do you think?"
"Uncle Lin is more thoughtful than me. Let's do this. I will buy the house and then clean it up. The place for the children to study must be arranged, and you leave it to me." Lin Zhu will do his good deeds to the end. Lin Changqing knows that Lin Zhu
Zhu didn't lack the money, so he didn't refuse, but he secretly decided to publicize Lin Zhu's merits in the village.
Setting up a village school is a big deal. When the people in the village heard that Lin Zhu would use the money that was used to punish Lin Zian to set up a school, they all clapped their hands and applauded, saying that the money was a good punishment. After Lin Feng heard about this, he was very angry.
He yelled at me at home, but there was nothing he could do. When he left the house, he slapped himself in the face and said Lin Zhu Renyi. It was really because the government was so clever that his teeth were knocked out and his blood was swallowed up.
When the abandoned house in the west of the village was being rebuilt, all the men, women, and children in the village came to help and did whatever work they could. Lin Zhu was afraid that those people would accidentally hurt themselves, so he persuaded them to just watch from the sidelines, but everyone disagreed, and still
He said, "They also want to contribute to the village." So Lin Zhu couldn't say anything, so he only asked Chang Shi to help make arrangements so that these people wouldn't make any mistakes.
"Girl, this old guy will hate you again." Chang's mother poured a glass of water for Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu looked at the yard at home, "He asked for this, he always wants to miss other people's things.
, If you want to get something for nothing, how can there be such a good thing in this world? Huh!"
In this era, building a school was a matter of great merit. Several people in Lin Zhu's family, especially Feng Yuanbo, had great respect for their master at such a young age.
The village school was completed with the efforts of the whole village. The courtyard wall made of stone and blue bricks is grand and beautiful. The four characters "Lin Family School" are hanging on the gate. It was specially built by carpenters in the village. It is very eye-catching. Go
The first thing you see when entering the courtyard is the school room. The room is very spacious. According to Lin Zhu's suggestion, windows were installed in the front and back and covered with high-quality plain paper. This way, there is plenty of light and the school is bright.
The tables, chairs and benches were also made by carpenters and were neatly placed inside. People in the village found them very novel and touched them from left to right. At the back of the school was the room arranged for the teacher, a study room and a guest room.
There is a living room, a bedroom, and a kitchen in the back. Originally, I wanted my husband to have dinner at someone’s home in Linjia Village.
However, because there are children from other villages coming to school, and the people in Linjia Village only provide three meals a day, they are afraid that some people will be dissatisfied if it takes too long, so they decided to use the students' money to pay for their husband's meals. Lin Zhu doesn't want those money.
He only asked the village chief Lin Changqing to find someone he could trust to keep accounts. All the money collected from Xiu was used for various management of the school.
Lin Zhu asked Lin Changqing to find a gentleman in the town who could come to Linjiacun to teach. The most important thing was that this gentleman should have solid and comprehensive knowledge and not be pedantic. Lin Hongyuan knew many scholars in the town, so he quickly introduced one
The scholar came over. The scholar's name was Wu Jinpeng. He failed the exam twice.
In addition, his family could no longer pay for his schooling, and he was still alone at the age of twenty-five. So when he heard that Linjia Village wanted to hire a teacher for the village school, he volunteered. Lin Hongwen knew him and knew that
This man was an upright man and knowledgeable, but it was only because of bad luck that he lost his brothers many times.
It happened that he was introduced to his father Lin Changqing, which was a help to both parties. After Lin Zhu found out, he asked the village chief Lin Changqing to tell him that he could teach here while preparing for the imperial examination, but he could not delay the school children in the village.
If he taught the children in the village well, Lin Zhu would also give him money to help him take the imperial examination.
Wu Jinpeng came to Linjia Village and saw the prepared village school. He originally thought that the conditions provided by the village were quite good, but he did not expect such a surprise. He was even more ecstatic. On the one hand, he thanked Lin Hongyuan for the introduction.
He also thanked the people of Linjia Village and Lin Zhu, the main investor. He wanted to thank Lin Zhu in person, but Lin Zhu refused, saying that as long as he taught the children who came to study with his heart, that would be the greatest thank you to her.
The people of Linjia Village also responded with great enthusiasm to their husband's arrival. The village chief, Lin Changqing, invited him to have a meal at home on behalf of the villagers. He also introduced him to the environment of the village and asked him to stay with peace of mind. Linjia Village
Wu Jinpeng would not treat him badly. Wu Jinpeng was also very grateful to the village chief Lin Changqing for his appreciation and helping him when he was in dire straits. He also gave Lin Changqing a gift. He enjoyed the meal.
Afraid that Wu Jinpeng would not adapt, Lin Zhu gave him the first month's salary first, which just solved his urgent need. Wu Jinpeng was grateful and curious about this village school sponsor whom he had never met before. After asking to meet him several times, he knew that Lin Zhu
Zhu really didn't want him to be grateful, so Wu Jinpeng wisely stopped disturbing Lin Zhu, and just did the work he learned in the village carefully and meticulously, so the people in the village also respected him.
Villages surrounding Linjia Village came to inquire if they could let their children study here since they heard that Linjia Village had set up a village school. Lin Changqing also agreed one by one. As a result, thirty children were admitted as soon as the class started.
In addition to the ten taels of silver that Lin Zhu received from Lin Zian, Lin Zhu also contributed twenty taels of silver to the village school. From now on, she will also pay more than ten taels of silver every year. In the eyes of others, she seems a little stupid. Only she and her close friends
Several people knew that she seemed to spend a small amount of money every year, but she used the money to buy peace and quiet, which also saved Lin Zhu from having to spend time guarding against certain people in the village. Those with evil intentions would definitely not dare to act rashly anymore.
And not only Linjia Village, but also the people in the surrounding villages were extremely grateful to Lin Zhu. In the future, several talents actually emerged, and they also helped Lin Zhu a lot by certain opportunities.
