Chapter 219: 091: Became the favorite in the village, found out about Li Xianxian’s background s
Ni Yang continued, “You must promise Sister Ni Yang, study hard, strive for progress every day, and become a useful person in the future!”
Goudan scratched his head in puzzlement, “Sister Ni Yang, why do we need to study hard? If we don’t study hard, does it mean we won’t be a useful person in the future?”
With a slight smile, Ni Yang squatted down and looked into Goudan’s eyes, “Studying hard will grant you the power to choose your future, to choose meaningful, and liberating work, rather than being forced to survive. When you feel your job is meaningful, you will feel accomplished. When your job leaves you time to live your life, you will have dignity. Accomplishment and dignity bring you happiness! A meaningful job makes you a useful person!”
Rather puzzled, Goudan nodded, “Alright, I’ll take Sister Ni Yang’s advice, and I will study hard and strive for progress every day.”
Although Goudan didn’t entirely understand her words, he knew that following Sister Ni Yang’s advice couldn’t go wrong.
Ni Yang reached out and touched Goudan’s little head.
The other children seriously responded, “Don’t worry, Sister Ni Yang, we will all study hard, and become useful people in the future. We’ll earn a lot of money to buy a lot of delicious food and fun things for Sister Ni Yang!”
In this era, many scrumptious and fun things are unattainable dreams for these children. Even though they don’t currently have the ability, they can’t wait to dedicate the best things to Ni Yang.
After distributing the backpacks and stationery to the children, Ni Yang went to Zhou Qingshang’s house to discuss the decoration of the new store with Wang Tieniu.
Ni Yang said, “Uncle Tieniu, let’s hire the same guys as last time, the wages and construction period remain the same.”
Ni Yang took out the money and placed it on the table.
Wang Tieniu stood up and said, “According to your aunt, this shop is half the size of the last one. It doesn’t require that many days or that many people.”
Ni Yang laughed and said, “Let’s just stick to this arrangement. The New Year is coming, and I hope that we all can earn a little extra to have a good time!”
There isn’t much farming work in winter. Everyone, apart from those still hunting for Aloe Vera on the mountain, is idle at home. However, with the Aloe Vera supply nearly exhausted, this money from Ni Yang is like timely rainfall relieving many people’s pressing needs.
This money would undoubtedly make everyone’s New Year more prosperous!
With this, they would have prestige when visiting friends and relatives.
Wang Tieniu held Ni Yang’s hand, emotionally saying, “Yangyang, on behalf of everyone, I want to thank you.”
Ni Yang smiled lightly, “Uncle Tieniu, you’re earning the money in exchange for your labor, there is no need to thank me.”
After sorting out these matters, Ni Yang left the Wang family.
Wang Tieniu, on the other hand, went around spreading the good news.
In the village, each house is adjacent to the other. At this moment, everyone was coming out, standing at their door discussing something quietly.
“Yangyang is such a good girl, she has helped us so much, they’ve been living in our village for such a long time now, shouldn’t we also try and help them?”
“Exactly, Liu laoliu, you seldom speak wisely, but you certainly did this time!”
“So how can we help them?”
“Let’s help them apply for a residential plot, let them become bona fide residents of our village!”
“I think that’s reasonable too.”
“How about we all head to the village council tomorrow? There’s strength in numbers. We can definitely secure a residential plot for Yangyang’s family.”
“Liu laoliu, you should take the lead.”
“Okay, okay,” Liu laoliu patted his chest, “Tomorrow noon at 12:00,1 will go door-to-door. None of you can back out! Anyone who does is a coward!”
“With the way you’re talking, how could we possibly back out of this!”
Everyone discussed and swiftly settled the matter.
At this moment, Ni Yang was cooking at home, oblivious of the villagers’ actions.
The next day during lunchtime, Ni Yang found time to visit the detective agency.
Upon seeing Ni Yang arrive, Xiaozhou greeted her immediately, “Miss Ni.”
Ni Yang nodded in acknowledgement, dispensing with the small talk, she went straight to the point, “How’s the investigation coming along?”
Xiaozhou beamed, “Miss Ni, rest assured, the detectives in our agency are as good as their reputation..”
