After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 1880 Yes, no one broke in. I must be dreaming.

Zhang Ran glanced at Fu Qin, who was running around like a headless chicken, then looked back at Teacher Jiang's face. "I'll wait for Teacher Fu to go back together. It's not safe for a girl to walk alone at night."

Teacher Jiang nodded in agreement, then suddenly asked, "You like Teacher Fu?"

Zhang Ran stared intently into his eyes and gave a faint smile: "She likes me too."

Teacher Jiang paused for a moment, then said, "...I'm leaving now." She turned and walked away, her figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Zhang Ran withdrew her gaze and walked straight to Fu Qin. Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but loud enough for everyone nearby to hear, "We have to get up early tomorrow to teach the children, so we should go back."

Seeing Zhang Ran's gratitude, Fu Qin immediately echoed her sentiments and followed her away.

The village chief glanced at the clock on the wall; it was not yet ten o'clock. He gave Fu Qin a displeased look, but he did not stop her, letting her leave with Zhang Ran.

As soon as they left, the others immediately surrounded them, constantly asking about their backgrounds, where they were from, and which university sent them to teach in rural areas.

There was no moon tonight, and the road was pitch black, so Zhang Ran took out a flashlight to illuminate the way.

Fu Qin leaned closer and whispered, "They all say that Gou Dan was peeping at women taking a bath last night. He was discovered and fell to his death while trying to escape. Could it be that he was the one who broke into the door last night?" After being discovered, he panicked and fell down the hillside, breaking his neck.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Ran vehemently denied it: "I slept soundly last night, all night long. Someone broke in? How come I didn't know?"

Fu Qin: "...Yes, no one broke in. I must be dreaming."

Seeing Zhang Ran's open and honest attitude, Fu Qin felt relieved and went straight to bed to rest.

The next morning, I didn't need an alarm clock; my biological clock woke me up naturally.

Zhang Ran bought a kettle in town; there was still some hot water left over from last night's boil.

After the two finished washing up, Fu Qin made breakfast, while Zhang Ran practiced martial arts in the open space between the school and the dormitory.

A pair of eyes peeked into the classroom as Zhang Ran practiced martial arts, occasionally mimicking his movements.

After finishing her martial arts practice, Zhang Ran followed the peeping gaze into the classroom and saw the panicked little girl, Xinghua. "School doesn't start until eight o'clock. Why are you here so early?"

Xing'er borrowed needles, thread and scissors from her neighbors and worked through the night to alter the clothes Fu Qin had given her to a size that her daughter Xinghua could wear. She used the remaining fabric to make a new schoolbag for her.

Xinghua looked guilty and lowered her head to explain, "I came as soon as I woke up, I don't know what time it was."

Thinking that Xinghua's cowshed didn't even have a clock, Zhang Ran suddenly asked, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Can you help the teacher with the work? From now on, the teacher will provide two meals a day."

Xinghua suddenly looked up at Zhang Ran and excitedly said, "Teacher, I can do chores, I can do any kind of chores."

"Fine, you said it yourself. If you're not satisfied, I'll fire you." Zhang Ran turned and left. "Come with me for breakfast first, and I'll assign you some work after breakfast."

Xinghua dared not disobey and immediately followed after him with her new schoolbag.

Fu Qin made dumpling soup in the morning. When she saw Zhang Ran carrying apricot blossoms, she didn't ask any questions and just served a bowl to each of them.

Fu Qin has a small appetite; she was full after eating just one bowl.

Xinghua ate a bowl but was not full, so she dared not ask for more and licked the bowl clean.

When Zhang Ran served her the second bowl, he casually took the bowl she was licking and served her another bowl.
