Chapter 3073 Chapter 3075 [Extending benevolence and righteousness]
After sitting down again, everyone toasted to celebrate that this time it was just a false alarm.
?Otherwise, the three kidnappers would have come in a carriage with knives and guns. They would have gone to such great lengths to kidnap someone without extorting thousands of yuan.
In fact, the villagers did find letters used for extortion from the three kidnappers, and the amount written in them was a full five thousand silver dollars.
?Fortunately, Xiang Nan rescued the person in time, otherwise, they might not be able to get it together by selling iron.
“Little fairy, thank you very much. Without you, Jiaxuan would be in danger.” Wu Xiancao raised his glass and said, “I’d like to toast you!”
“Ma’am, don’t say that. We are all fellow villagers, and we should help each other,” Xiang Nan said.
“Oh, what the little fairy said is so good.”
“As expected of a little fairy, what he says makes sense.”
“Oh, he is a little fairy after all, what he says is so pleasing to the ears.”
When the villagers heard this, they all said it one after another.
“Hei Wa is right, we are all fellow villagers, and we should help each other.” Bai Jiaxuan stood up and said, “So I have a suggestion. I want to renovate Bailucang and build a charity warehouse for our clan.
??Wealthy households in our village voluntarily donated food to help the lonely elderly people in our village and the folks who have trouble at home. Do you think my idea is a good one? "
?When everyone heard this, they looked at each other and had not yet spoken.
Xiang Nan then smiled and said, "Uncle Jiaxuan is really benevolent and righteous. I very much agree with this matter. In this case, I will donate twenty stones!"
“Ouch~” Seeing Xiang Nan donating so much at once, everyone present exclaimed.
?One stone of rice is one hundred and twenty-five catties, and twenty stones is two thousand five hundred catties. In the early years of the Republic of China, one stone of rice was worth five oceans. Xiang Nan donated one hundred yuan and two thousand five hundred kilograms of grain in one go, which was indeed a generous donation.
After all, at that time, the annual income of an ordinary farmer was only twenty or thirty yuan.
Seeing that Xiang Nan responded first, Bai Jiaxuan couldn''t help but smile and nodded, "Okay, our Bai family will also donate twenty stones."
“Okay!” the villagers applauded together.
After all, there are many poor households and few rich households in Bailuyuan. Now the rich households donate food to help the poor households, which is beneficial to these poor households. Especially after destroying the smoke seedlings, they lacked a source of income and really needed relief, so they naturally welcomed Bai Jiaxuan''s move to build a charity warehouse.
??Lu Zilin, as one of the three major households in Bailuyuan, saw that Xiang Nan and Bai Jiaxuan had expressed their stance, but he himself remained silent and pretended to be dead.
Destroying the smoke seedlings has already caused him to lose part of his income. Now if he spends money to help the poor, he is not that noble or benevolent, and he doesn''t want to spend the money.
"Jiaxuan is right. Our Lu family and Bai family are all from the same ancestor. We have lived together in the original land for hundreds of years. Fellow villagers should help each other." At this moment, Lu Taiheng said, " In this way, our Lu family will also donate twenty stones of food."
“Okay!” the villagers clapped again.
Lu Zilin’s eyes almost popped out of his head.
?Twenty shi of grain and a hundred yuan of ocean. Donate as soon as you ask for it. How could he, the father, be more prodigal than his son?
?Subsequently, other wealthy households also donated grain one after another, ranging from ten shi for more to a few dou for less. One after another, a total of 100 shi of grain was donated.
At that time, this amount of food was considered to be a lot.
…
Later, Bai Jiaxuan brought up the matter of building a school on the original site, "We have more than 30 children in the original site who have not gone to school, cannot read Chinese characters, and do not understand people. This is not feasible. Therefore, I proposed to build a school and send the children there. read."
Hearing what he said, the villagers were stunned.
“Oh, Jiaxuan, building a school will cost a lot of money, right?”
“Jiaxuan, how old is this child to go to school? My child still has to go hunting for pigweed.”
“Jiaxuan, it costs a lot of money to study. Our family can’t afford a husband~”
??The folks then said.
It’s not that we don’t want our children to study, it’s just that studying for children is a huge expense. It costs money to build a school, money to hire a husband, and money to buy books. If children go to school and don’t work, they will lose another income.
Therefore, in Bailuyuan, only a few families allow their children to study. The vast majority of children do not have this treatment.
"Hei Wa and I have already discussed this." Bai Jiaxuan said upon seeing this, "I am responsible for building the school and hiring teachers, and Hei Wa is responsible for providing books and providing each student with a bucket of food every month."
When the villagers heard this, they were all shocked.
Since ancient times, students have been required to pay their husbands for studying. Now the situation is reversed. If you go to school to study, you can still get a bucket of food. This is really great.
“Oh, if this is really the case, then we would be very grateful to the patriarch and the little god!”
“Thank you, patriarch, thank you little fairy!”
“The patriarch and the little **** are so kind and kind~”
The villagers praised it one after another.
Lu Zilin suddenly felt a little envious when he saw this.
?Lu Taiheng had a gloomy face.
????Bailuyuan is known to have three major families, the Bai family and the Lu family.
?Now that the Bai family and the Shen family have funded the construction of schools, the Lu family has been left without any action. The people are not blind, so naturally they all see it.
At that time, what will people say?
People will say that the Lu family is stingy and stingy, and does not provide money or food to build schools.
?Children are the hope of Bailuyuan. These children have received favors from the Bai family and the Shen family to go to school. If they have a future, they will naturally be grateful to the Bai family and the Shen family.
?Then the Lu family will be despised.
"Oh, Jiaxuan, we, the Lu family, should also contribute to this matter." He stood up and said, "Let''s do this. We, the Lu family, will also contribute half of the money for building the school and hiring teachers."
“Okay!” the villagers clapped their hands together.
"Uncle Taiheng, thank you very much." Bai Jiaxuan stood up immediately after hearing this.
When Lu Zilin heard this, his face turned pale again.
…
After the birthday banquet, the villagers went home.
At this time, Bai Jiaxuan called Bai Shitou''er.
Just now in front of everyone, he was too embarrassed to say anything about Bai Shitou''er.
"Chief, I was wrong. I am not a human being. I deserve to die. Hit me or scold me." Bai Shitou''er knelt on the ground and slapped himself repeatedly.
??Bai Jiaxuan rescued Widow Li from her vegetable cellar and helped him bring his wife and children back from the beggar''s den... It can be said to be extremely benevolent and righteous for him.
??But not only did he sap Bai Jiaxuan, he also colluded with the kidnappers to kidnap him. Is he really a human being?
"Okay, get up. What happened before was also my fault." Bai Jiaxuan helped him up and said, "I was too impatient, so I hurt your face. I also want to say ''I''m sorry'' to you." "
"Chief, don''t say that. It''s my fault. I''m not a human being." Bai Shitou''er cried when he heard this.
"I don''t blame you for this matter, and don''t mention it again in the future. You, your wife, and your children live a down-to-earth life, understand?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.
“Chief~” Shitou cried loudly.
He treated Bai Jiaxuan like this. He didn''t expect Bai Jiaxuan to treat him like this. He was really touched.
“Okay, let’s go back with our wife and children.” Bai Jiaxuan nodded.
