After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Upon arriving at the health center, the village doctor examined the child and immediately gave him an injection in the buttocks to reduce the fever, followed by an IV drip.

After a while, the child woke up.

The principal breathed a long sigh of relief; he would have been finished if the child had died at school.

The child was fine, and the village doctor took out the account book to demand medical expenses, including debts owed for previous medical treatments by the student.

The principal rubbed his hands sheepishly. "I came in such a hurry that I forgot to bring my money. Could I pay you next time?"

Village doctor: "...Next time and next time, you can let Teacher Zhang stay here to look after the children, and you can go back and get the money."

Before the principal could respond, Zhang Ran took out two hundred yuan and placed it on the table. "Is this enough?" she asked, her eyes fixed on the account book in the village doctor's hand. "How much is still owed? I'll pay you back today."

The village doctor quickly accepted the change, afraid that if he hesitated even for a second, the money would be lost.

After the IV drip, the child's condition improved significantly.

On the way back, Zhang Ran asked the principal, "How do we notify his parents to come and pick him up?"

The principal shook his head. "Even when a child is sick, he still needs to go to school. There's no one to pick him up." He looked down at Da Niu and asked, "Did you wade through the water again to take a shortcut to school?"

There is no bridge over the Stone River.

Uncle He, who originally ran the ferry, also quit.

Sometimes, fearing they'll be late for school, the children will risk taking a shortcut and wading across the river.

To avoid getting their clothes wet, they would take off all their clothes and shoes and carry them across the river. Once they reached the other side, they would put them back on. Since the weather hadn't warmed up yet, it was easy for them to catch a cold this way.

Da Niu nodded sheepishly, "I won't get sick if I get up early tomorrow and walk around the Stone River." He looked at Zhang Ran with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, teacher, I overslept."

Back at school, after dropping Da Niu off in his classroom, Zhang Ran stopped the principal. "After school, could you come with me to see the village chief? I want to ask if we can find some workers to build a simple wooden bridge over the river." Instead of hiring Uncle He to charter a boat, they decided to build a bridge directly and solve the children's schooling problem once and for all.

This was incredible news! The principal excitedly exclaimed, "We'll definitely find them! I'll go with you to find the village chief after school!" If they hadn't left and there were no teachers, he would have gone right now! This wasn't just a volunteer teacher; it was clearly a godsend sent to him by heaven!

After school, Zhang Ran told Fu Qin and then went to the village chief's house with the principal.

Upon learning the purpose of their visit, the village chief excitedly stood up from his chair. "Teacher Zhang, do you really want me to find some workers to build a bridge over the river?" This would not only solve the children's schooling problem, but also make it much safer for the villagers to travel.

Zhang Ran nodded. "How much would it cost to build a simple bridge?"

The village chief did the math carefully. The village had its own barren mountains and forests, and cutting down trees was free. "The timber is free; the village will provide it. The only thing we need to pay is labor."

Zhang Ran nodded in agreement, "Then you should find four or five workers, fifty a day excluding food and drink, and get it built within a week." This was to prevent unscrupulous workers from slacking off.

"Alright, I'll find a few people to cut down trees tomorrow and personally supervise them in building the bridge," the village chief boasted. "It won't take more than a week, maybe four or five days to finish." Although the river is wide, the water is shallow, so building the bridge isn't too dangerous, it just takes some effort.

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you." After saying that, the principal was about to leave with Zhang Ran.

The village chief quickly stood up and invited the two to stay for a meal.

Neither the principal nor Zhang Ran stayed; they said goodbye and left.

One went home, and the other went back to school.

With the village chief taking the lead and Zhang Ran paying for the work, a simple wooden bridge was built over the Stone River in just a few days.

This was great news for the villagers in the surrounding area who needed to cross the river to get to the town. Everyone praised Zhang Ran's character and even sent their children to school just to have a word with her and introduce her to potential partners.
