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

Chapter 414 Zhuang Ganmei's Little Thoughts

After get off work, at the gate of the machinery factory

Zhuang Ganmei rode his bicycle, the wind making his hands tremble. He hadn't worn gloves when he went out today, and the cold made his teeth chatter and his hands tremble uncontrollably.

Finally, he pushed his bike to a stop at the entrance of the No. 1 Middle School.

Inside the guardhouse, Old Zhao was reading the newspaper while sipping hot tea from his thermos. Hearing the noise, he looked up towards the school gate.

A strange man was seen pushing a bicycle towards them. His hair was disheveled and he was trembling.

Old Zhao frowned, put down his newspaper, walked out of the duty room, and reached out to stop him.

Old Zhao eyed the person in front of him warily.

"Which student's parent are you, comrade? Outsiders aren't allowed in the school."

Zhuang Ganmei quickly parked his car under the window of the guardhouse and forced a smile. "Sir, I'm Teacher Zhuang Chaoying's younger brother. I need to talk to him about something. Could you please ask him to come out?" As he spoke, his breath quickly turned into white mist in the cold air.

Old Zhao looked Zhuang Ganmei up and down.

As an elderly man who had guarded the school for many years, he knew the school's faculty and staff very well.

I remember it clearly: Zhuang Chaoying, the head of the teaching department, resigned at the end of last semester and packed her things to leave.

If this person in front of me is really Teacher Zhuang's younger brother, how could he not even know that his own brother has resigned?

Moreover, Teacher Zhuang is usually refined and scholarly, but this person in front of me is completely different.

“Teacher Zhuang resigned a long time ago and no longer works here. You’ve come to the wrong place.” After saying that, Old Zhao turned around and prepared to go back to the guardhouse.

Zhuang Ganmei panicked and rushed to the window of the guardhouse, knocking twice.

"My brother quit his job. When did he quit? Why did he quit?"

Old Zhao opened the window impatiently and said irritably.

"Aren't you Teacher Zhuang's younger brother? How come you didn't know he resigned? If you need anything, just go find him directly. I don't know either. You should leave now, the students will be leaving soon, don't block the way here."

After saying that, he slammed the window shut and ignored the people outside.

Zhuang Ganmei pushed her bicycle back, looking dejected, muttering to herself.

"Big brother resigned? Why did he resign? It was a secure job. High school teachers got a raise recently. He resigned? Has he lost his mind? He resigned!"

Watching the man ride away on his bicycle, Lao Zhao felt increasingly uneasy. Just in case, he decided to call Zhuang Chaoying to warn her.

He picked up the phone in the guardhouse, flipped through the phone book, and found Teacher Zhuang's home phone number.

At this moment, Zhuang Chaoying was sitting in the living room, where the stove on the first floor made it very warm.

He sat on the sofa and gently massaged Ah Ling's legs.

During her late pregnancy, Ah Ling's calves and feet were swollen, and the pressure from the baby made her need to go to the toilet frequently.

Two weeks ago, they went to Wanshu's mother for a check-up. The mother-in-law said that the due date was in two weeks and repeatedly told them to pay close attention during this period and to take her to the hospital immediately if there were any signs of labor.

Because their birth was illegal, they didn't have a birth permit, so they couldn't even complete the hospital admission procedures.

Zhuang Chaoying knew that although her home was not far from the hospital, giving birth was a major event that could not be taken lightly.

However, there is no better way at the moment, so we can only keep a close eye on things and hope that everything will be peaceful and safe.

"Ring ring ring!" The telephone suddenly rang.

Zhuang Chaoying carefully straightened A-Ling's legs, got up, walked to the phone, and answered it. "Hello, this is Zhuang Chaoying."

"Hey, Teacher Zhuang, this is Old Zhao, the gatekeeper. Someone who claimed to be your brother came to the school looking for you. I felt something was off, so I'm calling to warn you."

Upon hearing the words "your brother" and "school," Zhuang Chaoying's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly replied, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, I understand. Thank you so much."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

Zhuang Chaoying sat on the sofa. Her younger brother, Zhuang Ganmei, was the only younger brother she had.

Ah Ling noticed his expression was off. "Chao Ying, what's wrong?"

"Ganmei, Ganmei went to the school to look for me. I'm sure something must have happened at home again."

Huang Ling leaned back on the sofa, her belly growing rapidly over the past month, like an inflating balloon.

It may be related to her individual constitution, or it may be related to the oil she applied. Ah Ling's belly has no stretch marks, but thinking back to when she gave birth to Xiao Ting and Tu Nan, she also didn't have stretch marks. It seems that she is indeed born with a good constitution.

"Chaoying, could something have happened to Grandpa and Grandma?"

Zhuang Chaoying continued massaging A-Ling's calves, her hands never stopping, but she sneered inwardly.

"fine,"

“If something serious happened, why would he come to the school instead of coming directly to our door? We've moved here, and he can easily find the address by asking any of the old neighbors, so it can't be anything important. Right now, our biggest priority is taking good care of you.”

As he spoke, he gently squeezed Ah Ling's ankle. "Don't worry, I'm here."

Huang Ling was still a little worried, after all, Chao Ying and the other side had already broken off relations and were no longer on friendly terms.

There must be something fishy about the sudden emergence of the "catching up with the US" phenomenon.

She bit her lip, deciding to stop thinking about these worries—the most important thing right now was the baby in her belly.

Zhuang Chaoying rubbed her legs absentmindedly, her mind searching through the timeline and the next developments in the plot.

At this point in time, it seems that Grandpa Zhuang from my hometown fell and fractured his leg.

That must be it. Someone as selfish as Gan Mei wants to get money out of me? Hmph, we'll see if he has the ability. He knows his brother too well. Gan Mei is always selfish; he definitely wouldn't want to take care of Old Man Zhuang, who's incapacitated. How could he possibly be willing to do it?

They're probably trying to squeeze some money out of me so they can squander it all.

He wants to get some money out of me? Hmph, we'll see if he has the ability.
