Chapter 452 She wasn't the kind of person who would abandon her principles just because someone
The village head of Xiahe Village pleaded with a bitter face, "Master Lin, we were indeed in the wrong today, but these women do not represent the views of all the people in Xiahe Village."
“We accept the punishment. As the village head, I am also partly responsible for causing this mess.”
“I will personally supervise the road construction. We will do whatever Mr. Lin says.”
As he spoke, he looked at the men who had come with him and said, "I'm sure you all know what the market is like for private schools in the surrounding villages, so I don't need to elaborate."
"It's rare that Mr. Lin is willing to give our child such an opportunity, but it looks like we're going to ruin it."
Do you accept this punishment?
The elder standing nearby looked at the village head, wanting to say something more, but the village head of Xiahe Village simply ignored him and stared straight at the men from those families.
But then the group of women looked at each other and finally said, "Village head, we women aren't wrong. Girls are just a waste of money. What's the use of them studying?"
"It's common for women to fight and brawl with each other. In their Linshui village, they always have to pay compensation, and they also have to..."
"Ah Da, kick them out of here..." Lin Chang'er was really fed up and didn't want to see these people for even a second longer.
This time, A-Da didn't hesitate. He led his brothers and quickly dragged the people of Xiahe Village out one by one, not even sparing the elders.
When it was the turn of the village head of Xiahe Village, just as he was about to reach out, he saw the huge man kneel down in front of Lin Chang'er with a thud.
"Master Lin, I'll say it again: those families cannot represent our entire village. As the village head, I do bear responsibility for failing to properly manage them. They were disrespectful to you, Master Lin, and I apologize on their behalf."
“The landlord punished them by making them work, but they refused to go, so I took the rest of the villagers to do it.”
"I will definitely bring people to repair the roadbed. I only ask that Mr. Lin, seeing that I sincerely admit my mistake, will give the other children in our village another chance."
After saying that, he actually started kowtowing repeatedly.
This left Lin Chang'er dumbfounded. She gave A Da a look, and A Da quickly pulled her up, saying, "Stop kowtowing. Our master doesn't like this kind of thing."
Upon hearing this, the village head of Xiahe Village looked up at Lin Chang'er and pleaded, "Master Lin, please give the other children in the village another chance! I beg you..."
Lin Chang'er looked at him. He was about the same age as Zhou Hai. He was quite thin, with bright eyes, and seemed to be a sensible person.
However, she is not someone who abandons her principles just because others say a few nice things to her.
Lin Chang'er looked at him and asked, "If you just want to fight for opportunities for the boys in your village, then don't waste your breath."
Her policies were originally intended to encourage more girls to attend school.
The village head of Xiahe Village hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, no, boys and girls are the same. Girls only need a few hundred pounds of firewood to go to school. This is a great opportunity that has fallen from the sky. Why shouldn't they go?"
Lin Chang'er narrowed her eyes and continued, "Just now, the people in your village were all saying that girls are a waste of money, that they'll all get married in the future, and that girls can't study to take the imperial examinations and bring honor to their ancestors!"
The village head of Xiahe Village said with a wry smile, "Does studying guarantee that a boy will pass the exam? There are so many scholars in the world, can everyone pass the high school entrance exam?"
"Boys can't bring honor to their ancestors just by studying, so why should we force girls to do the same?"
"It's true that girls marry into other families, but their knowledge will always be their own, won't it?"
After a pause, he looked at Lin Chang'er and asked, "If I may ask a question, if Master Lin didn't have some knowledge, how could Linshui Village have become what it is today?"
"Why insist on whether it's a boy or a girl to bring glory to one's ancestors?"
"The big boss is a living example right in front of them, yet they can't see it—they're blind! The big boss himself benefited from the book and wants more girls to benefit as well. This is a blessing for the girls; if we don't help them take it on, we'll be struck by lightning someday..."
