After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

"Xiaoyue, Xinghua, dinner's ready," Fu Qin called out.

Zhang Ran explained to Xing'er, "Xinghua helps us gather firewood, wash dishes, and clean every day. Teacher Fu and I have been providing her with three meals a day. You can stay for dinner too, and from now on, you don't need to cook for Xinghua."

"How could I possibly accept that?" Xing'er felt both grateful and ashamed, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

“She helps us with chores and doesn’t eat for free, so why should we feel embarrassed?” Zhang Ran explained, “Many poor students help out in the cafeteria when they go to university because they don’t have living expenses. This is called work-study.”

"I understand." Seeing that she was angry, Xing'er timidly agreed and dared not say anything more.

Xing'er was very reserved during the meal, only eating plain white rice.

After helping her pick up food, Fu Qin then helped Xinghua pick up food, keeping her busy like a spinning top throughout the meal.

After finishing their meal, Xing'er and her mother washed the dishes and cleaned the stove before heading home hand in hand.

The next morning, Fu Qin got up early to cook, while Zhang Ran practiced martial arts.

The principal arrived at the school, sweating profusely, and said to Zhang Ran and Fu Qin, "Something terrible has happened!"

The nearby mountains are quite steep, and the funeral procession was held at around 4 a.m. before dawn.

As the group carried the coffin up the mountain, someone slipped and the coffin crashed down, killing two people instantly.

The principal's face was grave: "Teacher Jiang and the others have all been hospitalized!" His gaze fell on Zhang Ran: "You will temporarily substitute for Teacher Jiang's fourth-grade classes."

“Okay.” Zhang Ran nodded in agreement.

The principal breathed a sigh of relief and then instructed Fu Qin, "This afternoon, the second and fifth graders will have a drawing class and a physical education class, respectively. I'll also assign some homework to the children. Could you keep an eye on things for me while I go to the hospital to see Teacher Jiang?" He had heard that the injuries were quite serious, and he was afraid that if Teacher Jiang died, he would be left all alone as the principal after Zhang Ran and the others left. The thought of it gave him a headache.

Fu Qin nodded, "You can go without worry."

After the principal turned and went to the classroom, Fu Qin quickly leaned close to Zhang Ran and whispered with relief, "How scary! Luckily you didn't go, or you would be in the hospital right now."

Zhang Ran smiled slightly: "I'm lucky."

The school bell rang, and Zhang Ran walked into the first-grade classroom. She noticed that Liu Ni was not there and asked the students, "Does anyone know why Liu Ni didn't come to school today?"

Xinghua stood up and replied, "Teacher, Liu Ni's father is injured and has been hospitalized."

"I understand, please sit down." It seems that Liu Ni's father was also one of the people carrying the coffin.

Zhang Ran opened her Chinese textbook and began the lesson.

At lunchtime, the principal entrusted the students to Zhang Ran and Fu Qin and hurriedly left the school.

In the afternoon, after finishing her class with the fourth-grade students, Zhang Ran went to check on the other classes and found that Shi Hu, a fifth-grade student, was also absent from school. She guessed that the carpenter might have also been hospitalized.

San Ni and Si Ni had just arrived home after receiving the call when they found their mother lying in bed having given birth to a younger brother.

Upon learning of the carpenter's accident, she went into premature labor due to the stress.

Sisi stayed at home to take care of her new mother and younger brother.

Sanni rushed to the town's hospital.

The next morning, the principal arrived at school early and sighed to Zhang Ran and Fu Qin, "Teacher Jiang's leg is broken, Liu Ni's father injured his hand, and the carpenter is the most seriously injured and unconscious; they say he might become a vegetable." Not to mention, two others died. The villagers were all cursing Gou Dan as a menace, harming the villagers in life and continuing to harm them in death.

Because the incident occurred while helping with Gou Dan's funeral, the injured party's family members went to Gou Dan's house demanding an explanation.
