Children don’t have many thoughts in their minds.

Without being able to follow along and learn, they couldn’t take it and felt extremely wronged, so one by one, they began to wail.

Older kids cried, younger kids cried, in short, it was a chorus of cries.

Initially, seeing so many children had made Xiaoxiao’s head spin, and now with this cacophony of crying, she suddenly felt overwhelmed.

Li Chuntao saw the situation and immediately began to soothe the children.

"Everyone, stop crying. I promise that I’ll teach you whenever I have time in the future, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao was fairly satisfied. Li Chuntao didn’t relent just because she heard the children cry and made more promises. If she had agreed, it would have infuriated her because she can’t be the only villain here.

Seeing the children cry, the adults at the door began to speak up.

"Miss Li, you see how much the children love to learn. Can’t you let them continue? Don’t worry, we won’t let you teach for free. We can pay some fees."

"Yes, yes, we might not have the money to send the children to the School in town, but we can still contribute some amount. Just don’t despise the small sum."

They had gathered here today not just for entertainment but to see how well this wealthy family’s lady taught.

Yesterday, after returning home, the children were all excited, saying how well this elder sister taught and even demonstrating the words they learned to their families.

At that time, they thought it would be good for the children to study with her. But they also knew it was unlikely that the wealthy family’s lady would stay here forever. They wondered whether they should send gifts and pay some fees to keep her around. Even if they couldn’t keep her for a long time, having her for a while would help, right?

Despite these thoughts, they hadn’t done so, as they weren’t sure if the lady could teach well. What if she wasn’t good, and they ended up giving gifts for nothing?

That’s why everyone gathered here. After watching for a while, they felt the wealthy family’s lady was quite capable, teaching their children well, and they believed their children could learn a lot from her.

They thought they would go home and bring some gifts for the wealthy family’s lady. But before they could even do that, Yang Ming’s wife came and stopped the lessons.

It wasn’t easy for the children to find a place to learn words, and now it’s forbidden. How could the adults bear it?

Moreover, their hearts ached seeing their children cry. Sending them to the School in town wasn’t realistic because they really had no money. The books were too expensive to buy. But here, it seemed books weren’t needed. If only they could convince them to continue teaching their children. So they all started speaking out.

Li Chuntao taught everyone to read out of kindness and never thought about collecting money. When she heard what everyone said, she felt a bit embarrassed and was about to refuse when she heard Xiaoxiao speak first, "Everyone, I understand your desire for your children to learn. But having so many children taught by Li Chuntao alone would be too exhausting for her. How about this: take your children home first. Li Chuntao and I will think it over to come up with a solution that won’t overburden her while allowing everyone to learn."

In the eyes of the villagers now, Xiaoxiao was the one with the best ideas. Since she mentioned finding a solution, it should be reliable, and so everyone took their children home.

But they didn’t forget to say,

"Yang Ming’s wife, we’ll be waiting at home for your news." 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"You must think of a way for the children to learn words. You know our family’s situation, but we also want the children to learn something. It’s in your hands now."
