Xiaoxiao listened to the commotion on the side, and sure enough, everyone's thoughts were like this. There's no way around it, the situation is what it is.
The Village Chief signaled for everyone to be quiet again, and everyone calmed down.
Li Chuntao continued, "I know everyone's thoughts, I've thought of it all. You all think pen, ink, paper, and books are too expensive, so I've come up with a way so you don't have to spend so much Silver but can still learn to read."
Someone asked in confusion, "What is the way?"
"The School will have some books prepared for the children, so you won't have to buy additional ones. These books will remain in the School for the children to use during classes, but they cannot be taken away as they are meant to be shared among all. This way, it saves everyone the cost of buying books, which is quite a sum for you."
