After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 1862 Teacher Zhang, have a chicken leg!

Seeing the village chief's wife busy with chores, Fu Qin felt embarrassed and told them not to bother and that they could just eat whatever they wanted.

"How can that be?" The village chief seemed glued to his chair, legs crossed, teacup in hand. "You are teachers, honored guests of our village. We are counting on the children you teach to fly out of the mountains." What's a chicken or a few eggs? What if we don't treat them well on their first visit and they run away? What if the higher-ups stop sending teachers in the future?

With such delicious food, it's only natural to have a little wine. The village chief called out to his wife, who was busy plucking the chickens, "Go to the village store and buy a bottle of Erguotou. I'm going to have a good drink with my new teacher today."

As she watched the village chief sitting there like an old man, constantly giving orders to his wife, Fu Qin's eyes gradually changed, and the smile on her face disappeared.

After all, in her family, her father would help out when her mother cooked, or sweep the floor; both sides were busy, and no one would sit around like a king.

Seeing the village chief's behavior, my impression of him plummeted.

Zhang Ran, however, remained unfazed and continued chatting and laughing with the village chief.

Fu Qin felt embarrassed to just sit there, so she went to help the village chief's wife. No one was polite enough to tell her not to help; instead, everyone praised her for being diligent, capable, and virtuous, saying, "Any boy who marries you in the future will be lucky."

Fu Qin was simple-minded and always felt that the praise was strange, but she couldn't figure out why. In any case, she felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't show her displeasure when praised, so she habitually smiled in response.

The village chief looked at the capable and virtuous Fu Qin and nodded repeatedly in praise.

This college student is good, unlike the last one. When the villagers invited her to dinner, she just sat there waiting to be eaten, being both lazy and greedy.

Finally, she married Shi Lei from the east end of the village and became a daughter-in-law of their village. Now, even though she is pregnant, she can still work in the fields and is very diligent.

Zhang Ran sat there chatting, and no one said she was lazy and greedy.

Because everyone assumed she was a man, and that housework was a woman's job, and that men shouldn't get involved. Even the village chief kept praising her for being promising, kind-hearted, and for coming to teach in a poor place like theirs, saying she had accumulated great virtue.

Zhang Ran smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Fu's grades in school are better than mine, and she will be more successful than me in the future."

The village chief disagreed, saying, "How can that be the same? What's the use of good grades if she graduates from university and gets married? At most, she can teach the kids a few words."

Zhang Ran looked at Fu Qin, who was working. She was very unhappy to hear this, but she didn't make a scene. She just stopped helping and sat back down in her chair, silently drinking her tea and sulking.

Seeing her pathetic state, Zhang Ran didn't stand up for her and just let her continue to suffer.

Soon the dishes were served, and the village chief invited the two to sit down and eat.

The table wasn't big, just a square table. What was placed in front of Fu Qin were either leftovers or pickled vegetables, while all the good dishes were in front of Zhang Ran.

Fu Qin didn't take it seriously. She picked up her chopsticks, skipped over the pickled vegetables, and grabbed a piece of scrambled eggs. Then she grabbed a braised chicken leg. She was the youngest in the family, and she always got to eat the chicken legs.

She figured that since she didn't see any children in the house, it shouldn't be a problem for her to eat one chicken leg, after all, a chicken has two legs.

Unexpectedly, a pair of chopsticks beat her to it and grabbed the chicken leg, placing it in Zhang Ran's bowl. "Teacher Zhang, have some chicken leg. From now on, we'll have to trouble you to teach the children to read and write. The boys in our village are all quite mischievous, so please bear with them."

The village chief smiled and placed the chicken leg into Zhang Ran's bowl.
