Chapter 176 A new academy opened in town
"Yeah, think about it, you have the best conditions in our village. You can make money, you live a good life, and now you are building a house in the town. Isn't it easy for her to take notice of you?" Aunt Wang did not forget to analyze while eating melon seeds.
"Yes, you have to pay close attention. Although Qin Mu can get married, he must not marry a woman like this. Otherwise, you will have troubles in the future!" After saying this, Aunt Liu drank a sip of tea and picked up a piece of cake to taste.
Su Panpan refilled tea for everyone.
The fat aunt warmed her hands with a cup of tea and continued to remind her, "She's like a fly, now she only bites honest people. After failing to seduce a wealthy businessman, she now has her sights set on the families of well-off villagers. A few days ago, she even tried to seduce Li Lin. How could she easily seduce the son of the village head? The village head's wife scolded her directly, and the surrounding elders and villagers heard it, and the story spread throughout the village."
"The Xue family has fallen on hard times after their business failed abroad, but Xue Yao still can't change her bad habits. She dresses up all day long, just thinking about seducing men. She doesn't even think about who would be interested in her after all the things she has done. She just thinks about climbing the social ladder all day long. Now that she sees no chance of seducing a rich businessman, she thinks about seducing the son of the village head. She's too shameless." Aunt Liu took over indignantly.
"Okay, I've remembered everything everyone said. I'll pay attention. I'll talk to Qin Mu tonight."
Everyone discussed for a while and gave Su Panpan a lot of ideas. While listening, Su Panpan was thinking in her mind how to deal with Xue Yao's entanglement.
"Mom, wife, so you are all here!" Da Niu, who had just delivered the goods in town, walked quickly in from outside the door with a simple smile of an honest man on his face.
"Panpan, I have some important good news for you. A new academy has opened in Baoxing Town and is recruiting students. I heard Erniu mention that you wanted your child to study before, and I thought this was a rare opportunity, so I came over to tell you."
"Wow, really? That's great." Su Panpan was overjoyed when she heard it. A bright smile spread across her face, and hope glittered in her eyes.
Wang Hexiang, who was standing by, also smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is indeed good news. If Qin Mu can study at this academy, he will definitely have a bright future."
Su Panpan was very excited. She had been thinking about how to arrange Qin Mu's schooling after the house was built, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.
However, the big guy later said that admission was not that simple. To enter this academy, one had to pass an entrance examination, and the competition was quite fierce. Many children of wealthy businessmen had signed up.
Hearing this, Su Panpan felt a little worried again.
Aunt Wang, Aunt Fat, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Liu beside them also put away their smiles and looked serious.
"Yes, this is not easy to deal with." Aunt Wang muttered softly.
"Panpan, speaking of the establishment of this academy, it has a great story. This academy was founded by a retired official from Beijing who returned to his hometown in Baoxing Town. This gentleman had served as an official for many years and felt the importance of education. After returning to his hometown, he spent all his family wealth and joined forces with several respected gentry in the town to build this academy. The purpose is to ensure that the children in our Baoxing Town have books to read and schools to attend, so that they can produce some promising talents in the future and add luster to our town." Daniu finished speaking in one breath and was almost out of breath.
"Speak slower, look how anxious you are." Lin Xiu'e scolded.
"This is such a good opportunity, you must ask your Qin Mu to seize it."
"Panpan, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. You guys can chat slowly." After saying goodbye, Daniu left.
"Panpan, your house will only be ready in a month or so, which is just enough time for Qin Mu to prepare for the exam. If he passes, it will be convenient for him to go to school, and you can continue your business in town. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" Aunt Wang grabbed another handful of melon seeds.
Su Panpan nodded, and then said happily: "It just so happens that my second uncle's wife also wants Linlin to go to school. I have to tell her the good news later."
"Ah? Linlin, your second uncle and sister-in-law still want her to go to school!" the fat aunt asked in confusion.
After finishing a handful of sunflower seeds, Wang Ma took over and said, "Yes, Linlin is ready to get married, why is she still thinking about going to school?"
The others looked at Su Panpan in confusion, waiting for her answer.
"Shen Ru has gained experience and made money following Panpan, so we shouldn't worry about her." Lin Xiu'e interrupted. Although Lin Xiu'e didn't understand why Shen Ru wanted to send her daughter who could get married to go to school, they didn't need to worry about her affairs.
"It is of course a great thing for a woman to be literate. She can do many jobs in the future and have choices, and can make a lot of money. If an illiterate man is cheated, he still has the strength to fight back. But if a woman is illiterate and is cheated, what can she do? She can only cry and suffer in silence. Why did I ask Erniu and my second uncle's wife to set up a stall with me? Erniu is strong, he can read and count, and my second uncle's wife is diligent and can also read and count. But if I ask an illiterate person, what will happen if the number of goods delivered to the house does not match? Think about it, does this make sense?" Su Panpan said slowly.
Su Panpan understood why they thought this way. After all, people are the product of their environment, so it’s not their fault.
But when Su Panpan came, she would not agree with this custom. She was determined to be a role model for women in the world.
In the future, she will send Xiaoxiao and Yueyue to school. If possible, she also wants to set up a girls' school so that all the girls in Baoxing Town can go to school. She wants to teach girls how to read and learn history, how to make a living, and how to discover more possibilities for themselves.
"That's the logic...that is..." Wang Ma and the others fell into deep thought.
The lively and joyful gossip scene turned silent, and it was a bit awkward for a moment.
"I heard you say before that the house has been built and you want to find a shop to open a store, right?" The fat aunt broke the silence first.
"Yeah, that's the plan."
"Then please consider me when the time comes, Panpan." The fat aunt smiled and moved closer to Su Panpan in a flattering manner.
"And I."
"I."
"Panpan, I'll follow you too."
"But you all can't read." Su Panpan pretended to be worried.
"I can cut vegetables, wash vegetables, wash dishes, sweep the floor and do kitchen work." The fat aunt answered quickly, fearing that Su Panpan would not consider her if she was a second late.
"I can too."
"Me too."
"Hahaha, okay, if I really need manpower in the future, I will definitely consider you aunts and sisters-in-law first." Their words made her feel as if the shop had already been opened, which made her laugh.
