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

Mrs. Zhuang paused for a moment, then laughed again, trying to hide her displeasure: "Pengfei is too young to eat much."

Zhuang's father suddenly became anxious and stood up: "Then what do you two think we should do!"

Zhuang Chaoying immediately retorted without hesitation: "What can we do? What else can we do? Buy it with money!"

Mom and Dad, when I was little you always told me to eat less and give food to my younger brother. Now that Tu Nan and Xiao Ting are my children, I can't bear to let them go hungry.

Ah Ling said that Pengfei can come, but he'll have to pay for a limited quota, and our family doesn't have that money right now.

Mr. Zhuang snorted angrily and sat back down in his chair with no other choice.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhuang continued to appeal to his emotions, her voice slightly choked with emotion: "Hua Lin, she's unlikely to come back from her rural assignment in your province, but Peng Fei will be able to."

Huang Ling still had a smile on her face, but her eyes revealed determination: "Why did Hua Lin go to the countryside? Didn't she give up her job to Gan Mei? Hua Lin is your own daughter, I'm just her sister-in-law!"

Zhuang Chaoying shrugged and said, "Mom, I don't have any money! You'll have to pay me if you want Pengfei to come!"

Mrs. Zhuang shook her head and sighed, "Hualin didn't give us any money!"

Zhuang Chaoying pressed further, "Is Hualin your daughter?"

Mrs. Zhuang pouted, clearly unwilling: "Fine, I'll give you the money, okay? I'll give it to you!"

Then he got up, opened the drawer, took out a handkerchief, unfolded it, flipped through the banknotes, picked out a ten-yuan note and handed it to Huang Ling.

Zhuang Chaoying glanced at her and saw that her mother was still holding a lot of money, roughly estimated to be at least several tens of yuan.

Standing next to the chair, he snatched the entire stack of money when his mother wasn't looking. "Mom, I didn't expect you to be so rich. This whole stack—ugh! Let me count it."

Mrs. Zhuang panicked and cried out, "Chaoying, give it back to me! This is my and your father's savings!"

Hearing the commotion, Zhuang's father lifted the curtain and came in. Pointing at his eldest son, he was trembling with anger: "Chaoying, what are you doing? Your mother and I never said we wouldn't give you money. How can you juniors be like this, coveting the few coins your elders have!"

Zhuang Chaoying ignored them completely, raised his hand, and said while counting, "Mom, I'm your son too, why are you treating me differently! Eighty-six yuan, Mom, I'll give you back these six yuan, I'll keep the eighty!"

Mrs. Zhuang snatched the handkerchief and six dollars, both angry and anxious, and plopped down on the bed.

Zhuang Chaoying smiled at them and said, "Dad, you're right. How can you be such an elder? Coveting the little money the younger generation has. People will laugh at our family if word gets out!"

Just then, Pengfei came running in happily, carrying a watermelon: "Uncle! Aunt, the watermelon is back!"

Huang Ling took the eighty yuan that Zhuang Chaoying handed her and neatly put it into her pocket: "Thank you, Mom! Then Chaoying and I will take Pengfei back."

Huang Ling walked ahead and greeted him warmly, "Pengfei, come home with your aunt."

Then he looked back at Hualin and said very warmly, "Hualin, come to my house, I'll cook you a nice meal to see you off."

Hua Lin responded with a smile, "Hey! Sister-in-law!" (This differs slightly from the original drama; Hua Lin didn't appear in the original, so this has been slightly altered. Please don't mind!)

Zhuang Chaoying followed behind Huang Ling, waiting for the mother and son outside the courtyard.

[Ding! The progress of managing the dealers is 85% complete!]

Zhuang Chaoying pondered to herself:

As expected, we need to make them bleed before we can really anger them!

If I had known I wouldn't have returned the six yuan, would things have progressed faster?

Hehe! A smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

A moment later, Hualin came out carrying two bags, followed by Pengfei, who was carrying a watermelon.

Zhuang Chaoying asked, "Why did Pengfei bring out the watermelon?"

Pengfei glanced at his uncle with a sharp eye: "This is what my uncle asked me to buy, so of course I have to carry it."

Zhuang Chaoying chuckled and patted Pengfei's head, taking the watermelon with her other hand: "You little rascal, you're really clever!"

After saying that, Zhuang Chaoying helped her sister carry a bag, and the group walked together toward the bus stop.

When we arrived at the bus stop, there was a bustling crowd of people waiting for the bus.

As soon as the car arrived, everyone rushed forward.

Zhuang Chaoying finally managed to squeeze onto the bus, and the ticket seller asked loudly, "How many people are there?"

Huang Ling hurriedly called out, "Three adults and one child!"

As the vehicle swayed, they finally arrived at their destination.

After getting off the bus, Huang Ling headed straight for the state-run store, saying as she walked, "I just asked Hua Lin, and she has a train ticket for tomorrow. I'll buy some meat today and cook her something nice!"

Zhuang Chaoying stayed close to Huang Ling, saying, "Ah Ling is so thoughtful!"

Seeing his sister-in-law heading towards the state-run store, Hua Lin hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, looking embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, don't spend money. It's already a lot of trouble for you to keep Pengfei here. Just have something simple to eat."

Zhuang Chaoying pulled her sister's arm and said, "Listen to your sister-in-law, it's not easy for you to come back."

Huang Ling walked into the store, picked out three catties of pork belly, and was already planning to make braised pork for everyone.

As Huang Ling entered the courtyard, she called out excitedly, "Xiao Ting, Tu Nan, look who's here!"

Tu Nan and Xiao Ting were engrossed in watching TV inside when they heard their mother calling them and immediately ran outside.

Xiaoting looked at the little boy curiously: "Dad, is this Brother Pengfei?"

Zhuang Chaoying introduced with a smile: "This is your aunt, and this is Pengfei."

Hua Lin put down her bag, her eyes reddening, and hugged the two children tightly. "Tu Nan, Xiao Ting, this is the first time I've met you. You've grown so much, my good children."

Then she took out some money from her pocket and gave each of them two yuan. "Xiaoting, Tunan, take this! This is just a small token of my appreciation."

Tu Nan and Xiao Ting looked at their father, Zhuang Chaoying, who nodded.

"Take it, it's a token of your aunt's affection!"

The two children smiled as they accepted the money and said in unison, "Thank you, Auntie!"

Xiaoting quickly opened the door and greeted her warmly, "Auntie, Brother Pengfei, come in quickly!"

Huang Ling entered the house and immediately started working in the kitchen, while Hua Lin also voluntarily went into the kitchen to help.

The two women chatted and laughed, working together seamlessly, and soon a sumptuous meal was ready.

Tu Nan even went out and bought six bottles of orange juice.

The family sat together.

As Hualin ate the braised pork that his sister-in-law had put on his plate, his eyes welled up with tears.

After dinner, Song Ying called Huang Ling to the courtyard: "Sister Ling, let Tu Nan and Peng Fei sleep with Dong Zhe tonight, and let Teacher Zhuang's sister stay in Tu Nan's room."

Huang Ling nodded and put her arm around Song Ying's arm: "Song Ying, then I won't stand on ceremony with you, thank you!"

Tu Nan and Peng Fei were both very excited when they learned that they would be sleeping with Dong Zhe.

Dongzhe, in particular, warmly welcomed Pengfei's arrival and excitedly invited Pengfei to watch TV together.

Xiang Pengfei's eyes lit up when he heard that he could watch TV.

Song Ying lay on the bed, yawning, thinking to herself: Now I can finally understand what Grandpa Zhang meant when he said Dongzhe.

What does it mean when a person is small but has a big butt? These three kids seem like they're never going to stop; it's already 10 o'clock and they're still not asleep!
