Chapter 912: Good News from Master Sun and Lady Qin

It was the first time that a scholar appeared in the village. The villagers were very excited and spontaneously held a banquet to celebrate.

Taking advantage of this momentum, parents in every family seriously warned their children to take Qiao Sihai as an example, study hard, and make a name for themselves in the future to change their family's fate.

There is only one teacher in the village school now, Mr. Sun. However, the levels of students have gradually begun to differentiate, and it is not appropriate to continue teaching them together.

So Qiao Ran posted a recruitment notice at the entrance of the supermarket. With the current fame of Qingshui Village and Shenxian Valley Supermarket in the capital, no one dared to look down on that small mountain village. Moreover, the monthly salary offered by Qiao Ran was higher than that offered outside, so many people came to apply for the job.

In less than three days, three teachers were recruited.

When Qiao Ran brought the three teachers back to the village, everyone was surprised.

The old village chief asked with some concern:

"Ran girl, why do you want to hire so many teachers at once? There are only more than 50 students in our school. Wouldn't it be a waste to hire so many teachers?"

Qiao Ran smiled and replied:

"No, Grandpa Village Chief. I want to divide the students into three classes, the introductory class, the intermediate class, and the advanced class. Master Sun and these two masters will be in charge of one class each. And this one is Master Wu, who will teach everyone martial arts. We not only want the students to learn to read and write, but also to strengthen their bodies and increase their self-defense capabilities, which will also be helpful when they go hunting in the mountains in the future."

In fact, Qiao Ran was secretly worried. She always felt that something bad was going to happen, so she wanted everyone to learn some martial arts so that they would have more ability to protect themselves if anything happened.

The old village chief had always followed Qiao Ran's words. After hearing her being so principled, he didn't say anything. He just said:

"In that case, I will ask everyone to triple the tuition. When we first arrived here, we had to build houses and didn't have much money, so we relied on you for everything. Now everyone follows you to grow crops and fruits, raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and work in workshops and supermarkets. We have earned a lot of money, and we can no longer let you subsidize everyone's money."

Qiao Ran also knew the current situation of the villagers. Since she could help them make a lot of money, she would not always use her own money to subsidize them. So she smiled and agreed:

"Okay, as you say."

Master Sun originally lived and ate with the Qiao family. The two side rooms on the first floor of the Qiao family's second courtyard were given to Master Sun and the ghost doctor each, and the two utility rooms were turned into a study and a pharmacy for the two of them.

Now that there are three more teachers, the old village chief doesn't want to trouble the Qiao family anymore, so he suggests that the three teachers live in his house first, and then let the villagers pool money to build a few houses for the teachers.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Master Sun announced a piece of good news:

He was going to marry Madam Qin! And he was going to marry into the Qin family!

Qiao Ran was quite surprised when she heard the news. How come she didn't realize when Master Sun and Madam Qin developed feelings for each other?

Zheng Hui Niang explained her doubts with a smile:

"During the summer harvest, Master Sun not only helped our family with the harvest, but also thought about the difficulties faced by Madam Qin, an orphan and a widow, and tried his best to help Madam Qin's family. As time went by, the two of them fell in love with each other. Master Sun was well-read, elegant and polite. Madam Qin was also from a wealthy family. I heard that she also liked to read poetry and write. The two of them got along well."

Qiao Ran understood.

Come to think of it, this is pretty good.

Madam Qin was a widow with two underage children. Although she could earn wages in the workshop, there were still many inconveniences. There was a lack of strong laborers to farm the fields at home, and in that era, there were also many inconveniences in not having a man in charge of the family.

Master Sun is a lonely man with no parents to support, and he is getting old, so it would be nice to find a companion.

The two of them formed a new home and took good care of each other.
