The next day, Li Chuntao asked Alu to visit the Yang Family and invite Xiaoxiao over to discuss the matter of starting a school.

Upon seeing Alu, Xiaoxiao felt that Li Chuntao was really straightforward and true to her word, actually staying away from Yang Dong.

Following Alu back to Li Chuntao’s courtyard, as soon as she entered, Xiaoxiao asked, "Chuntao, have you made up your mind? Planning to start the school?"

Li Chuntao nodded with a smile, "Yes, Xiaoxiao, I’ve decided to give it a try."

Xiaoxiao knew that Li Chuntao was not as weak as she appeared; she had her own ideas when it came to doing things and was quite decisive.

Unlike some people who are all talk but hesitate and become indecisive when it comes to action.

Considering Li Chuntao bought land in Yang Family Village and lost weight, it was clear she’s a person with a firm decision.

Having firm decisions means once she’s committed to something, she will do it, regardless of others’ attempts to dissuade her, similar to Yang Dong.

Since they had decided to start the school, they discussed the matter of hiring teachers and getting chairs and desks.

Right then, they decided to visit the fish pond and find Uncle Wu.

At the fish pond, Yang Wuzhu was very surprised to hear Xiaoxiao’s words; he hadn’t expected his niece-in-law’s friend to start a school in Yang Family Village, especially since the person starting it is a fifteen-year-old girl.

After hearing the niece-in-law’s plans for the school, his eyes sparkled with anticipation, thinking the idea feasible, he immediately asked, "How many teachers do you plan to hire?"

"Uncle Wu, initially there might not be many kids, so let’s start with three!"

Xiaoxiao thought about it, considering the kids here mature early and are quite sensible. Even those who are four or five years old are actually mature and obedient, comparable to modern first-grade students. When she was in first grade, her class had thirty-six students. So, one teacher handling fifteen to thirty kids is not a problem.

And once the tuition starts, it’s uncertain how many kids will come, but it’s certainly not going to be a lot. So, we’ll start with three teachers and hire more if the number of kids grows.

"Alright, three is doable. I know a few who returned to farm like me. Though they didn’t further their studies, they are quite knowledgeable."

"Thank you, Uncle Wu," Li Chuntao expressed her thanks.

"Oh, no problem, you’re impressive. I’ll go visit them; if they hear this, I’m sure they’ll be glad to come."

Yang Wuzhu spoke with confidence, understanding the sentiments of fellow scholars. If they can have such a teaching job, those years of study won’t be in vain.

At this moment, Xiaoxiao spoke, "Uncle Wu, would you consider teaching?"

"I won’t for now. After completing the fish pond, I plan to stay home and accompany Aunt Wu. We’ll see after the baby is born."

Yang Wuzhu finished speaking and left to find teachers.

Watching Uncle Wu leave, Xiaoxiao didn’t persuade him further, acknowledging that, for Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, their priority now is the child they’ve been waiting for years. After the baby is born, if Uncle Wu still wishes to pursue something, she will lend a hand then.
