People in the alley: A woman dressed as a man shouldn't be foolishly filial, Zhuang Chaoying

At that moment, a group of women all turned their attention to him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Zhuang Chaoying braced herself and whispered to the nurse, "Nurse, I...I've come to get family planning supplies!"

The nurse looked him up and down, her face expressionless: "Come with me!"

Zhuang Chaoying felt like she had been granted a pardon and quickly followed the female nurse, who led her to a consultation room.

Inside the consultation room, a middle-aged female doctor was on duty.

"Dr. Zhang, this gentleman is here to collect family planning supplies!"

Zhuang Chaoying felt as if her face was being roasted by fire, the heat rising and her face turning bright red.

He was a little nervous: "Dr. Zhang, hello!"

Dr. Zhang slightly raised her head, looked at the rather refined-looking man in front of her, and then slowly took out a small packet of family planning supplies from the drawer: "It's good that this comrade is aware of this now. We're distributing family planning supplies for free now. Come back for more when you run out!"

Zhuang Chaoying nodded, her eyes inadvertently glancing at the label on the package of family planning supplies: ten items per package.

He quickly calculated in his mind that one pack might not be enough. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to take the plunge since he was already there and said, "Comrade, could you give me two more packs? This one isn't enough!"

Upon hearing his request, Dr. Zhang couldn't help but take a closer look at the young man.

A moment later, she took out two more packets and said earnestly, "Young man, you should know when to stop with this kind of thing. Take care of your health! Besides, your wife can't take it either!"

Zhuang Chaoying was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground. She hurriedly took the family planning supplies and stuffed them into her briefcase as quickly as possible: "Thank you, doctor!"

Then, without lingering for a moment, he quickly turned and left.

Dr. Zhang watched the young man's hurried departure, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Young people these days just don't know how to control themselves. They'll understand when they get old."

Zhuang Chaoying jogged out of the hospital, and only when he stood on the street outside the hospital did he let out a heavy breath and raise his hand to touch his still flushed face.

He swore he would never come again!

,,,,,,,

Zhuang Chaoying was extremely busy during this holiday.

I explained the first semester of junior high school to Tu Nan, striving to ensure that Tu Nan thoroughly understood every knowledge point.

At the same time, Dongzhe and Xiaoting were not neglected, and the second-grade curriculum was carefully explained to them.

These children are indeed very intelligent.

Young minds really do work!

On the first day of school for Tu Nan, Zhuang Chaoying got up very early and rode her bicycle to take Tu Nan to school.

Upon arriving at school, Zhuang Chaoying solemnly left her bicycle with Tu Nan, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned and walked to the bus stop to take the bus back to school to continue her busy work.

Tu Nan stood at the magnificent gate of the No. 1 Middle School, looking up at the tall teaching buildings and the vast campus.

He became even more convinced that good schools are the best, and his father's decision to insist that he study here was absolutely the right one!

You must work hard to get into university; university campuses are definitely more spacious and beautiful.

Time flies. A month after the start of the school year, Xiaoting and Lin Dongzhe ushered in an important moment in their growth—wearing bright red scarves.

They stood on the school playground, their red scarves fluttering gently in the breeze.

Zhuang Chaoying, having just finished a class, was carrying her textbooks and walking towards her office.

Just then, he suddenly heard someone call out to him, "Teacher Zhuang, your dad is calling."

Zhuang Chaoying was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Okay, thank you, Teacher Liu, I'll be right there!"

I quickened my pace toward the office on the first floor; looking for him could never be good news.

He answered the phone. "Hello, what's up?"

An anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Chaoying, your mother has broken her leg. You're the eldest, you have to come back!"

Zhuang Chaoying frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "I understand. I'm busy right now, I'll come over tonight!"

He put down the phone and started to plan in his mind. Here comes another opportunity.

During the lunch break, Zhuang Chaoying hurriedly went to the primary school to find Xiaoting.

When Xiaoting saw her father arrive, she ran over happily.

Zhuang Chaoying squatted down: "Xiaoting, Daddy is going to Grandpa and Grandma's house today. Grandma twisted her ankle, so Daddy has to go back and check on her."

Xiaoting nodded obediently: "Daddy, will Grandma be in a lot of pain?"

Zhuang Chaoying gently patted her head: "Don't worry, Xiaoting, Grandma will get better. Grandma is in good health, so you don't need to worry about her."

When she finished get off work in the afternoon, Zhuang Chaoying picked up her briefcase and headed to the bus stop.

I boarded the bus.

Half an hour's drive.

After getting off the bus, Zhuang Chaoying stood by the roadside, straightened her slightly wrinkled coat, and strode towards the machinery factory's housing.

As soon as Zhuang Chaoying entered the door, she called out loudly, "Dad, Mom! I'm home!"

When Zhuang's father saw Chaoying return, he said, "Chaoying, go and see how sick your mother is!"

Zhuang Chaoying walked into the room, her gaze inadvertently falling on the bed where her mother was lying.

The bed looked antique, with exquisite carvings and wood grain that exuded a rustic charm. I secretly wondered to myself, this bed should be worth a lot of money. How come I never noticed it before!

Hearing the noise, Mrs. Zhuang coughed and said, "Chaoying! Come and sit down!"

Ganmei and her wife were standing at the door. When they saw her older brother coming over, Ganmei spoke first: "Brother, Mom twisted her ankle, and Dad doesn't usually work. We have to work during the day, so we really can't take care of them both! What are we going to do?"

Zhuang Chaoying looked up at Ganmei: "Ganmei, you're taking your parents' money. What are you going to do with it? Hire someone to take care of you? Do you need to ask me?"

Upon hearing this, the beautiful wife quickly replied, "Brother, I have to work during the day and do housework and take care of Zhendong and Zhenbei after get off work. Why don't you and your wife come over and take care of Mom by yourself? That would be fine too!"

Zhuang Chaoying's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "You want to take Zhendong and Zhenbei? Your sister-in-law and I don't have any children, right? Besides, Dad is paralyzed, he can't move, he can't do anything, right? I don't think so!"

The father, furious, slammed his fist on the table in the outer room. "We're old, we're sick, and you all just abandon us like this?"

Ganmei curled her lip: "Dad, I just really don't have the energy to take care of both of you! Mom means we should go to my older brother's house! Oh! Brother!"

Zhuang Chaoying was instantly enraged and strode over, her movements swift and powerful.

He reached out and grabbed Ganmei by the neck.

Zhuang Chaoying's voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.

"You're such an ingrate! You don't give back a single penny of the money your parents gave you, or the money I gave you for household expenses. You still know I'm your brother? I don't think you respect me at all."

Ganmei's face turned red from being pinched. "Big brother, big brother, let go right now, it hurts!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Ganmei's wife rushed over and grabbed his arm, her voice trembling slightly: "Brother, let's talk this out, don't hit me!"

Zhuang Chaoying suddenly turned her head and stared wide-eyed at her beautiful wife.

The beautiful woman was so frightened that she trembled and involuntarily withdrew her hand.

Zhuang's father called out anxiously from the side, "Eldest son, let go! I'm just discussing this with you!"

Zhuang Chaoying snorted coldly and pushed Gan Mei directly into the house.

The thought of how Gan Mei dared to sullenly treat Zhuang Chaoying and Huang Ling in the original drama made him furious.

Zhuang Chaoying tried hard to suppress her anger and said to her mother, "Mom, you're injured. The best thing to do is to hire someone."

Mrs. Zhuang's eyes darted between Ganmei and Chaoying, and she hesitated for a moment: "Life doesn't require money. I was thinking, do you want Xiaoting to come over and take care of me? She can bring me a spittoon at night, make me some water, etc. Children are light sleepers, so it won't be a problem!"

Zhuang Chaoying sneered: "My god, Xiaoting is even younger than Zhendong and Zhenbei. You're so worried about the third son's family and Dad? You can't bear to let them do any work? Then why did you call me here?"

Zhuang's mother quickly explained, "Eldest son, that's not what I meant!"

Zhuang Chaoying took out five yuan from her pocket and slammed it on the table with a "thud".

“This five yuan is my filial piety to Mom. After all, you gave birth to me. Now I don’t care about the money. The money is with Ah Ling. Don’t even think about letting us take care of you. Let Gan Mei spend money to hire people.”

Zhuang Chaoying walked to the door and deliberately shouted loudly, "Ganmei, I'm leaving. These five yuan are what I squeezed out of my food rations. For the past ten years, I've given my family a third of my monthly salary. I didn't even take care of my own family. Your sister-in-law wants to divorce me and take the child away. I had no choice! I must find a reliable person to take care of Mom!"

Hearing the commotion, the neighbors all turned to look and began to whisper among themselves. "You know, this eldest son of the Zhuang family is really filial. I heard that he's been paying a third of his salary for over ten years since he got married, but he just stopped this year. Why don't I have a son like that?"

"Yes, and they're still not satisfied. They're even cutting back on their eldest son's food rations! It's driving their eldest son's family to the brink of divorce."

The proud Mr. Zhuang quickly closed the door.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Zhuang Chaoying's mind: [Ding, the progress of the entire Zhuang family is 80% complete!]
