Chapter 214 Women's School(2/2)
The girls' opportunities for studying are much more difficult than those for boys, so they naturally cherish such opportunities more, so after entering the school, they worked very hard to learn.
Among these girls who are enrolling in school, there is really one who is very talented in painting!
This person is the daughter of Wang San's distant cousin's family, and his boudoir is Xiuniang.
This daughter has only learned to draw for half a month with the teacher who taught painting. Before she could draw the lines, she had already shown her amazing color matching talent. With the teacher's careful guidance, she was able to draw vivid and lively flowers and plants in just three months.
The female teacher taught such a student and she was also very happy. So she would give Wang Xiuniang's paintings to Gu Caining from the beginning, and spared no effort to praise Gu Caining: "This child is really talented in painting. Although it is a little late, now he can achieve something as long as he guides his life."
In addition to giving the painting to Gu Caining and his wife, she did not forget to ask Wang Xiuniang to take the results back to show them to the elders at home.
The elders of the Wang family were also very happy when they heard the praise from the female husband. However, when they heard Wang Xiuniang say, "Mr. said, if I want to go deeper here, I have to buy more good brushes, paints, etc. Those... it costs a lot of money, and at the beginning, it will cost four or five taels of silver a month. If you go further in the future, it will cost about ten taels of silver."
After hearing her report this number, Wang Xiuniang's parents turned pale.
Her father's smile stopped and he immediately stood up and went back to the house.
Seeing this, Wang Xiuniang immediately lowered her head, clasped her hands tightly together, and two teardrops as big as beans were spinning in her eyes.
When her mother saw her, she came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Xiangniang, it's not that your father doesn't want to support you, but that's four or five taels a month. This is too much. Our family has only twenty or thirty taels a year! Your brother and younger brother are still studying, so they spend a lot of money. Now I sent you to study, and I had a fierce fight with him, so he nodded in agreement. But now, four or five taels a month, and in the future, it will increase to ten taels of silver... Our family really can't afford it!"
"Mom, I know. Even if I come back and talk to you, I didn't say I had to go to study. In fact, I was already very happy to be able to recognize a few words in the school." Wang Xiuniang choked and whispered.
Her mother nodded quickly. "Mom just knows that you are a sensible and good boy."
Then he patted her back to comfort her, and then let go.
It was not until everyone in the family left that the tears at the corner of Wang Xiuniang's eyes finally fell down.
The next day, when she entered the school, her eyes were red.
Seeing this, the painting master didn't say much, and took Wang Xiuniang's hand and brought her to Gu Caining.
Wang Xiuniang was inexplicably surprised, but in the face of Gu Caining, the great benefactor who provided her with her opportunity to study, she still bowed and bowed: "Aunt Gao."
Gu Caining nodded. "Your parents didn't agree to you to learn painting, right?"
Wang Xiuniang nodded. "Five taels of silver a month are indeed too much, and my father and the others can't take it out."
"What if I say, I can pay this money?" Gu Caining said.
Wang Xiuniang raised her head in surprise and saw Gu Caining nodding. "I can pay this money, but it's really a few taels of silver a month, so I have a condition - from now on, all the paintings you draw belong to me, and you can't object to whatever I want to deal with them. Of course, when you don't need my support, then tell me that our agreement can be invalidated at any time."
Wang Xiuniang's eyes suddenly became redder.
Gu Caining's proposal was just helping herself? She used her money to learn and improve. When she learned to be self-sufficient, she immediately stopped. Before that, the money invested on herself was just exchanged for a few immature paintings. What could those paintings do?
I took advantage of this myself!
Wang Xiuniang suddenly felt her knees weak, and she knelt down with a plop.
"Aunt Gao, I..."
She was so excited that she couldn't even speak, so she could only bend down and kowtow a few times.
Gu Caining quickly pulled her up. "Even if you are a girl, you can't kneel down and kowtow casually. Your daughter's family must have the dignity of her family, do you know?"
Gu Caining is a role model for all women in the village, and is also the existence that all girls have always looked up to. There is no woman in Shuangliu Village who doesn’t want to live like Gu Caining.
So now, when she saw Gu Caining holding herself firmly and teaching herself earnestly, her heartbeats and her mind buzzing.
"I understand." She nodded quickly, and remembered this sentence in her heart in a confused manner, and remembered it all her life.
The female husband also smiled and said, "Actually, at the beginning, the lady expected that your parents would definitely not agree, so she told me that if your parents couldn't get through that, she would ask me to bring you to her and she would solve this problem. As a result, everything is indeed as she expected!"
When Wang Xiuniang heard it, she suddenly felt even more choked.
But Gu Caining just sighed: "This world is too unfriendly to women. Now I just hope to help a few more people of mine within the scope of my ability. If you really make a fortune in the future, remember to help others more."
Hearing this, Wang Xiuniang's tears were completely uncontrollable.
"Aunt Gao, I understand! I will definitely do it in the future!"
When the female husband heard this, her eyes turned red. "At first, I saw you paying money and working hard to run a girls' school, I guessed that you were thinking like this. Now when I heard you say this with my own ears, I am even more sure. I don't know how many poor girls you want to save in this action!"
"I have limited ability alone and can't save many people. Moreover, this concept has been passed down for many years, and it is impossible to change it for a while. This requires the efforts of many people from generation to generation. However, it is not bad to be able to change the atmosphere of Dongshan County in my lifetime. As for the future... it depends on you. Xiuniang, do you have the confidence to take on this responsibility?" Gu Caining said in a deep voice.
Wang Xiuniang suddenly felt a sank on her shoulders.
"Aunt Gao, I..."
"Of course, if it doesn't work, then it's okay." Seeing her hesitating, Gu Caining immediately shook his head.
"No, I can do it!" Wang Xiuniang nodded immediately, "Aunt Gao, I want to give it a try!"
"good."
Gu Caining slowly raised a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she rubbed Wang Xiuniang's head again: "Don't worry, you are not fighting alone, I have also found a few friends for you."
As she said that, she shouted behind Wang Xiuniang. "You guys come out!"
Wang Xiuniang quickly turned around and saw Chen, Xiao and her sisters holding hands.
Seeing this, Wang Xiuniang felt excited again.
These sisters are also a legend in the village! They were spoiled by their father since childhood. The two sisters were all kinds of troubles, and Gao Feng has always loved and never beat and scolded them. However, Gao Feng has never been bullied by his daughter, and they have never missed what they should learn.
Nowadays, these two sisters are the most knowledgeable among the girls in the village, and they are the most skilled in kung fu! The strongest boys in the village are no match for them!
Every time everyone plays together, they are the king of children. Even boys bow down to their instructions and never dare to disobey them. Now that the girls' school starts, they have naturally become the eldest sisters among girls.
Although the two sisters are not very good at studying, and the girl can’t do anything at all, and they are even more confused about drawing and playing the piano, this does not prevent the girls from admiring them.
The same goes for Wang Xiuniang.
As a result, Gu Caining has actually raised her and the sisters to the same height, and asked them to go hand in hand?
Chen girl Xiao girl came over with a smile, and they also took Wang Xiuniang's hand. Chen girl smiled and said, "We will be sisters in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, come and tell us that we will beat him so hard that his biological father doesn't know him!"
"But now that you have promised my mother, you must do what you say. If you dare to go back on your word and be ungrateful, we will not let you go!" Xiaoya waved her fists and slowly added.
Wang Xiuniang was instantly shocked. But she nodded immediately: "Aunt Gao's great kindness to me, I can't repay my life for my life. How could I do something that I would be sorry for her? I am not an ungrateful person!"
"That's good." The two sisters nodded and then smiled and pulled her up together, "Let's go, I have a box of ready-made paints. I don't know who gave me the New Year gift. They have been there for a long time. I don't know how to use it, so I just want to make do with it first!"
As they said that, they pulled Wang Xiuniang away.
When the children were all gone, the female husband looked at Gu Caining, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.
Gu Caining glanced at her indifferently. "Just say whatever you want."
The female gentleman said straight. "Madam, do you think it is feasible to put your grand plan on a few children now?"
"Education should start with children and cultivate firm beliefs. Only by letting this belief take root in her heart from a young age can she work tirelessly towards this goal and infect more people with her own practical actions." Gu Caining said in a deep voice, "This is a subtle process. I must lay a solid foundation from the beginning, so that they will implement it much easier and easier."
She is not a person with only romantic thoughts, otherwise she would not have waited until now, and she has been in this world for more than ten years before she can improve her status as a woman.
If you can't set an example and put in enough financial and material resources to support them, how can your kindness get the confidence to be self-reliant?
Now, everything is ready and we can start.
The conversation was calm, but it seemed like the Huang Zhong Da Lu that made the female husband's mind buzz.
After a while, she said softly: "Madam, you have great ambitions and I will never catch up with you in my life. Now I can only do my best to teach my students well."
"That's all." Gu Caining nodded with a smile.
When Wang Xiu's parents learned that Gu Caining had taken over the tuition and fees for her daughter, the only requirement was that Wang Xiu's wife would give her all the paintings she had before she finished her studies, they naturally nodded with joy.
If your daughter can learn something without spending money, why not do it?
Seeing this, the women immediately envied Wang Xiuniang for being so good, and admired Gu Caining for being so bad.
"Ning Niang is just a heroic spirit. I don't think there is anyone else in her position!"
However, there are also some people who are sour.
"I think Gu Ningniang is full! She has too much money at home and has no place to spend it, so she starts to do things. Brother Feng is the same. Why did he let this wife do things? A group of little girls' movies, it's enough to be able to go to school to recognize a few words. What else can you learn about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? Could it be that they can go out to take the exam after learning the achievements?"
"I'm not the daughter of a wealthy family, so it's useless to learn these things. In the end, I'm going to have to get married and serve men's children for the rest of my life? What's the time spent on these things? At this time, they might as well help their family with more work!"
Even the relatives of Wang Xiu's mother's family pointed at her in front of her: "The girls in our village should recognize their identities and don't think about those who have them all day long. Chen girl Xiaoyao has a good family background, her father is a juren, and her younger brother is a scholar. They can definitely marry into the county to be noble ladies, but are other girls in the village okay? Then do whatever they are when they are old. Don't keep your mind at a young age. In the end, you won't be too high or too low. You won't be too low or too poor in the village. You won't be too poor in the village, and the rich families outside look down on you, so you won't be able to get married!"
Both of them said this, and they were clearly not optimistic about Wang Xiuniang's choice.
However, as soon as you hear the news, Chen Yatou Xiao Yatou will appear immediately and kick the person who is talking to the side.
"What does it have to do with others if they can't get married? They won't eat your rice and grain. At worst, our family will support her in the end, and we will accompany her to be an old girl!"
The loud announcement immediately blocked the mouths of these people who spread gossip everywhere. It also gave Wang Xiuniang endless confidence.
