The principal, having already done the statistics, asked in bewilderment, "Why are you asking this?"
"Please tell the village chief that I want them all to come to school."
The principal's reaction was indifferent: "You want to sponsor them?"
Teacher Jiang looked at Zhang Ran and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhang, you may not know the situation in the village. Some teachers have sponsored the children in the village to go to school before, but after they left, the children had to drop out of school and go home." Doing a good deed halfway, instead of winning a good reputation, she was met with a barrage of criticism.
Zhang Ran glanced at Teacher Jiang, then looked away and said to the principal, "You misunderstand, I didn't intend to sponsor them." She took out a women's student loan application form from her pocket and handed it over, "Take a look at this."
The principal reached out and took it, puzzled.
Teacher Jiang, who was standing next to him, immediately craned his neck to take a look.
Fu Qin also wanted to see, but was too embarrassed to squeeze through, so she leaned close to Zhang Ran and whispered what it was.
Zhang Ran explained that it was a female student loan application form. Fu Qin naturally knew about it. Many poor girls who couldn't afford to go to school were able to continue their dreams of education by applying for this student loan. She didn't expect that Zhang Ran would bring this with her when she came to teach in the countryside.
The principal had once taken students to the city to participate in a competition and had heard about women's student loans from other teachers, but he thought it was all a hoax until he saw it with his own eyes today. He looked at Zhang Ran in surprise and asked, "How do you have this?"
Zhang Ran explained with a smile, "I happen to know the person in charge of the student loan project, and I thought I might be able to use it during my rural teaching trip, so I brought it along." She then added, "However, only girls from impoverished families can apply."
Teacher Jiang also reviewed the application form and raised a question: "It says that as long as you fill out the application form, all your tuition fees will be covered by student loans?"
Zhang Ran nodded.
Teacher Jiang questioned again: "What if someone drops out of school because of poor grades? How will this loan be repaid?"
Zhang Ran took back the application form and pointed to a line of text on it for him to see: "Return it after you find a job when you're an adult."
"What if you can't find a job, or you simply don't pay it back?" the principal followed up with a question.
Zhang Ran smiled slightly: "Since the other party has the money to start this project and sponsor children's education, they naturally have the money to hire lawyers. If they don't repay the money after they grow up and have jobs, they'll go to jail." She wouldn't use her money to support ungrateful people. Anyone who doesn't repay the money will go to jail and eat free meals.
The principal nodded in approval.
Teacher Jiang paused for a moment, then questioned indignantly, "Why are student loans only for girls? This is unfair to the other boys who can't afford to go to school."
The principal also subconsciously looked at Zhang Ran to confirm again: "Is it really only girls who can apply? Boys can't?"
Zhang Ran nodded. "The parents of the person behind the student loan program favored boys over girls. She suffered a lot from a young age and disliked men, so after her business succeeded, she started this program to only support girls." Her gaze then fell on Teacher Jiang. "If you think it's unfair, you can also contribute money to support boys' education."
Teacher Jiang's face instantly turned bright red. If he had money, how could he still be stuck teaching in this poor mountain village? He would have left the mountains long ago.
"So that's how it is." The principal sighed deeply.
I remember how the villagers would do everything in their power to send their sons to school, even if they weren't cut out for it, they would sell everything they owned to make sure they got an education.
No matter how smart the girls are, they are not allowed to study. They are considered like water spilled from a cup, destined to belong to another family after marriage, and not worth nurturing.
If the founder of the student loan program grew up in the same environment, he would indeed only sponsor girls' education, which he could understand. "How many application forms do you have left? Let's go to the village chief together and have him take us to the homes of families with girls to persuade their parents to let the girls go to school."
