Chapter 311 Teacher
After the New Year, the village chief immediately found a bricklayer to build a private school. The villagers in Yunfeng Village were very enthusiastic about this matter, and every household contributed a laborer without hesitation.
The construction of the private school had just begun and the village chief began to think about finding a teacher.
Because the Jiang family lost the support of the Liu family, the family suddenly became as poor as before.
Hearing that the village chief was looking for a teacher, Jiang's mother felt that this was a good opportunity to make money, so she urged Jiang Lin to go to the village chief's house to recommend himself.
The village chief felt that Jiang Lin was indeed the most educated person in the entire village, so he agreed after a little consideration.
Qianhuan, who rushed over after hearing the news, disagreed, "Grandpa Hu, I don't agree with letting Jiang Lin be the children's teacher."
Neither the village chief nor Jiang Lin expected Qianhuan to stand up and stop them.
But after all, the private school was funded and built by Qianhuan, so the village chief must take Qianhuan's opinion into consideration.
He asked amiably, "Qianhua girl, there is only one scholar in our entire Yunfeng Village, Jiang Lin. In Grandpa Hu's opinion, he is the most suitable candidate to be a teacher. Why don't you agree?"
"Grandpa Hu, Jiang Lin was able to pass the exam to become a scholar, which shows that he is indeed well-educated. However, no matter how well he studies, teaching is not just about teaching, but also about teaching students how to behave. As a qualified teacher, we should not only examine his cultural level, but also his moral character. A man like Jiang Lin who is treacherous, fickle, and loves to live off others will only teach children bad things once he becomes a teacher. Does Grandpa Hu want to see the children of Yunfeng Village learn to get something for nothing?"
Qianhuan's words were powerful and the village chief felt that what Qianhuan said seemed to make sense. Jiang Lin was a good student, but his private character was really not that good.
For the sake of the children in Yunfeng Village, the village chief could only look at Jiang Lin apologetically and said, "Jiang Lin, I'm really sorry. I can't let you do your job as a teacher."
Jiang Lin saw Qianhuan causing trouble and causing him to lose his lucrative job. He immediately asked angrily, "Qianhuan, why do you have to target me like this? You saw that I broke off your engagement before, and you are holding a grudge against me, so you are deliberately taking revenge on me, right? How can you be so vicious?"
Qianhuan said with disdain, "Mr. Jiang, listen carefully. I, Liang Qianhuan, look down on you from the bottom of my heart. I wish I could break off the engagement with you. I am so happy that I can't wait to break off the engagement with you. How can I have any resentment? So there is no question of personal revenge. The reason why I don't let you be a teacher in Yunfeng Village is because your virtue is not worthy of the glorious title of teacher. Do you understand?"
Jiang Lin was so angry that he pointed at Qian Huan and said, "I didn't kill anyone or set any fire. What right do you have to say that I have bad morals? Even if I used the women's money, they paid it willingly. What does it have to do with my character?"
Qianhuan was almost laughing at Jiang Lin's shamelessness. She said in a mocking tone, "Haha, you are probably the only one in this world who can make yourself sound so innocent when you are a gigolo. Originally, I thought you were just too incompetent, but you are so greedy that you always want more. You even started to flirt with other women when you were engaged. The whole village has seen your behavior. Do you still need me to comment on it?"
"You, you..." Jiang Lin couldn't find any words to refute at this time. He kept saying "you" for a long time, and finally said, "Even if you, Liang Qianhuan, funded the construction of the private school, finding a teacher is a matter for the whole village. It is most appropriate for the village chief to make the decision. Why do you interfere?"
"The teacher's monthly salary from now on will be paid by me, Liang Qianhuan. Is this reason enough?"
Jiang Lin was instantly speechless by Qianhuan's words. He only knew that the private school was built with funds from Qianhuan, but he didn't know that even the teacher's monthly salary would be paid by Qianhuan. He thought that the teacher's monthly salary was collected by the villagers.
At this moment, Jiang Lin really regretted canceling the engagement. If he had not canceled the engagement, everything Qianhuan had now would have belonged to his Jiang family.
After recognizing the current situation, he had no choice but to humble himself and said, "Qianhuan, after all, you and I were once engaged. For the sake of our relationship over the past few years, please give me a way out. I have already broken off the engagement with Miss Liu. My family is in financial difficulty. By becoming a teacher in the village, I can earn some money for the trip to Beijing to take the exam."
Although Qianhuan is compassionate, she will not be soft-hearted towards people like Jiang Lin.
"I'm sorry, there is no relationship between you and me. You don't need to waste your time on this matter. I won't agree to it."
Qianhuan then said to the village chief, "Grandpa Hu, don't worry. Before I return to the capital, I will invite a good teacher with excellent character and good conduct to teach the children. You don't have to worry about this."
The village chief nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I just want to have some free time."
Seeing that there was no way the situation could be reversed, Jiang Lin could only go home filled with resentment.
Qianhuan thought that Mr. Fan was from Qingxi County, and he must have a suitable candidate to recommend. After returning home, she immediately wrote a letter to the prince. She planned to ask the prince to ask Mr. Fan if he could recommend a suitable teacher for her.
After Mr. Fan learned about this, he immediately wrote two letters and asked the prince to send them to Qianhuan, one of which was to Qianhuan and the other was a letter of recommendation.
The person recommended by Mr. Fan was his classmate from childhood. This person went to Beijing with him to take the imperial examination but failed. Later, he gave up the idea of becoming an official and lived a pastoral life at home. With his level, it was more than enough for him to teach those children and adults who had no foundation.
After Qianhuan received the letter, she immediately took the recommendation letter and went to the man's home according to the address. When the man saw that it was his former classmate who asked for his help, he agreed without hesitation.
As soon as the matter with the teacher was settled, Qianhuan began to pack up and prepare to return to Beijing.
Liang Laoer and Liu have lived in Yunfeng Village for most of their lives and have become accustomed to life in the mountain village. In fact, they are reluctant to leave their hometown, but for the sake of their two children, the couple reluctantly agreed to move to Beijing to live with their children.
Qianhuan was worried without Liang Laoer and Liu at home, so she had no choice but to leave Manager Ji to look after the house and keep an eye on the soy sauce shop.
The night before leaving Yunfeng Village, Qianhuan finally remembered that she had gold and silver and the map that the king of Canglang wanted hidden under her bed. She pushed open the mechanism under the bed, took out the wooden box on top, and took out the map.
She carefully examined the map again and saw only a mountain drawn on it without any words. She really couldn't see anything special about this map.
But since the king of Canglang wanted it so much, it must be very important, so she put the map in her arms, intending to take it to the capital. As for the batch of gold and silver she had hidden before, she continued to hide it without moving.
