After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2437: The School Is Ready

The children were older now and had their own way of thinking. It would be good to let the children make their own decisions on certain issues.

The days passed and it was soon autumn. This was always the busiest time of the year for Qiao Mei’s vegetable farm and the factory. The harvest this year was especially good and it looked like they would make double the profits as last year!

Qiao Mei planned to give all the employees a bonus payout to reward them for their hard work. They were definitely the reason why she could earn so much money.

The school building was constructed and the interior renovations were all completed. The teachers had been asked to get ready to start work and the next thing to do was to recruit students.

“Have you decided on the salary for the teachers?” Qian’e asked as she looked at the pile of financial statements in front of her.

“The teachers in the general campus will be paid 80 dollars a month, the same amount as teachers in other schools. The teachers in the elite campus will be paid 150 dollars a month and the teachers in the international campus will be paid 220 dollars a month. As for those who teach specialty classes, they will be paid 10 dollars a lesson,” Qiao Mei said.

“You’re paying too much. The average salary in the market is only 60 dollars now. Your high salary levels will definitely attract a lot of attention,” Qian’e said in surprise.

“It’s fine. This is the effect I want. This way, it will attract good teachers to come and teach in my school. Moreover, my school has very strict recruitment criteria. Anyone who gets hired is definitely worth their salary,” Qiao Mei said.

Qian’e looked at the salary table and asked, “What do you think about me going to your school to give piano lessons?”

“Do you still have time to spare?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“Of course I do. Surely I can just teach once a week? Ever since your younger sister left the capital, I’ve been thinking about taking in another student, but I haven’t met any talented kids! I don’t like to teach stupid students. After all, I’m not short of money. I just don’t have anyone to impart my skills too!” Qian’e lamented.

Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e melancholically. Before Qian’e went through those bad experiences in her life, she was famous for her talent in the capital. So many men were fond of her that her suitors could even form a line circling the capital!

However, everyone only remembered those embarrassing things which happened to Qian’e and had completely forgotten that she was previously the champion of the national piano competition.

“Sure, as long as you’re free, you can come and teach anytime,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Liu Fen and Tang Hui had come to Qiao Mei’s house together. Qiao Mei looked at the two of them in puzzlement. When did these two get so close?

Tang Hui could tell that Qiao Mei was puzzled and said with a smile, “It’s so coincidental that Second Sister-in-law and I bumped into each other at your door.”

“That’s right, that’s right! Since everyone is here, I don’t have to run around looking for all of you separately!” Liu Fen said happily.

“Second Aunt-in-law, you have something to tell all of us?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Didn’t you just set up a school? You previously said that all the Xia family’s children can study there for free, right?” Liu Fen widened her eyes and asked excitedly.

“No, Second Aunt-in-law. I said that all the Xia family’s children can come and study at the school, but they will need to pay the same amount of school tuition fees as everyone else. Otherwise, the other students will be unhappy that the Xia family’s children are given special treatment. Besides, my school has three different campuses and the fees are different for each campus,” Qiao Mei explained.

“Alright, whatever you say.” Liu Fen thought for a while and then said, “Then what if there are children in the Xia family who can’t afford the school fees?”

“Who?” Qiao Mei asked curiously. Ever since she joined the Xia family, all the Xia family members were doing well. Basically, there should not be anyone who was short of money anymore, unless Liu Fen was referring to those distant relatives.

“I’m referring to Xia Xing’s kid, Xia Hai,” Liu Fen said as she secretly sized up Tang Hui.

Tang Hui just sat there drinking tea with a straight face. Qiao Mei smiled awkwardly and said, “Xia Xing is doing quite well at his job now. He should not face any issues with Xia Hai’s school fees.”

“Is that so? That’s not what Shao Yin told me. Their family is facing financial difficulties now and they don’t even have money to buy meat. When I went to their house the other day, there were only vegetarian dishes on the dining table. It makes my heart ache to see this happening at a time when the child needs a lot of nutrition to grow up strong.” Liu Fen wiped her tears as she spoke, making it sound as if Xia Hai was being abused.

“Really? I send half of Xia Guang’s monthly salary to them every month. This is what Xia Guang asks me to do,” Tang Hui said.

“How can that bit of money be enough? It’s very difficult to raise a child nowadays. Milk powder is so expensive!” Liu Fen became more and more agitated as she spoke. She seemed to be trying to imply that Tang Hui had been ill-treating Xia Xing and Xia Hai after marrying into the family and did not care about them at all!

Qiao Mei looked down helplessly. She did not know if Liu Fen was really that stupid or just pretending to be stupid.
