The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 629

Chapter 629: Chapter 625: Homemade Desks and Chairs

"Don’t you worry about the desks and chairs. I’ll figure something out."

"Here’s the plan: We’ll replace the few tables with broken legs first, and then take care of the rest gradually."

The principal had already made up his mind. The children’s education was important, and so were their learning tools. Since the higher-ups weren’t willing to approve the request, he would just have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

With his forty-yuan monthly salary, he could replace one batch of desks each month. By the end of the year, all the students would have new ones.

Leng Yuan immediately guessed his intention.

"Principal, are you planning to pay out of your own pocket again?"

Leng Yuan had been at the school for several years now. Any school purchases required funding approval from the higher-ups.

At first, Leng Yuan hadn’t thought much of it. He later learned that the people in charge didn’t value education at all. The prevailing attitude was that studying was useless, since you’d just end up back in the fields anyway. As a result, the school’s funding requests were always the last to be processed.

But some things were necessities and simply couldn’t wait, so the principal would pay for them himself.

This time, when the principal said they would do it "gradually," he likely meant he would be paying for it himself again.

The principal hadn’t expected to be found out by Leng Yuan so quickly. He looked at him, exasperated. "You rascal, have you never heard of letting some things go unsaid? I don’t need the money for myself. But these children... how are they supposed to study properly without decent desks and chairs? On this matter, you’ll listen to me."

Leng Yuan disagreed. "Principal, you can’t keep paying for everything yourself."

It was one thing to do it for a short while, but if this went on, what about the principal’s own livelihood?

The principal’s wife was already very unhappy about him paying for things out of his own pocket.

The principal’s actions were certainly noble, and no one could criticize him for it. But he wasn’t wealthy himself; his family depended on his salary to live. When he paid for school expenses, it meant his own family had to tighten their belts.

How could they go on like that in the long run?

"Principal, the desks and chairs aren’t actually that difficult. I know how to make them. As for the wood, we can buy some logs from the production brigade, get some varnish, and build them ourselves."
