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

Chapter 258 Why Can't We Watch Midnight Videos

Aunt Li waved her hand with a smile: "It's alright, Teacher Zhuang, you can give it to me anytime."

Back in the courtyard, Zhuang Chaoying pushed open the door, went straight to the drawer, rummaged around for a while, and found three cents.

"Pengfei, go and take three cents to Aunt Li for the phone bill."

As he spoke, he handed the money to Pengfei.

Pengfei took the money, responded, and quickly walked out.

Huang Ling sat to the side, holding a half-knitted sweater in her hand. "Chaoying, try it on and see if it fits."

She stood up, took the sweater with the needles, and walked to Zhuang Chaoying's side. Zhuang Chaoying raised her arm and helped Huang Ling put the sweater on.

Huang Ling looked her over from all sides. "Hmm, the fatness is just right."

After taking off her sweater, Zhuang Chaoying sat down next to Huang Ling.

"Ah Ling, Uncle Wang from Shanghai just called and said I need to go there on Tuesday. I should be back in about two days. Why don't you come with me?"

Huang Ling, who had already prepared to continue knitting, stopped upon hearing this. "Chao Ying, Engineer Lin just left. If I go with you, then Song Ying will have to take care of those three children. I'd rather not go."

At that moment, Song Ying was hanging clothes out to dry in the yard. Hearing their conversation, she stopped what she was doing and raised her voice.

"Sister Ling, you go ahead. I'll take care of things at home. Xiaoting and Pengfei are quite sensible and don't need anyone to worry about them."

Hearing this, Huang Ling felt a warmth in her heart. She went out into the yard and helped Song Ying with her clothes. "Song Ying, since you put it that way, I won't stand on ceremony. I'll head over there. There's pork and a chicken in the refrigerator, so thank you for your trouble."

Song Ying's eyes curved into crescent moons as she looked at Huang Ling in front of her, waving her hand while smiling.

"Sister Ling, I knew you wanted to go. Don't worry, I'll stay home and look after the kids. You can relax and have fun. I'll take good care of the kids at home."

Just then, Pengfei hummed a little tune and skipped back into the yard.

Seeing Huang Ling and Song Ying talking, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Auntie, are you and Uncle going out to play again?"

Huang Ling laughed crisply. "This family really wouldn't be able to do without you, Aunt Song. Without her, I wouldn't be able to go out at all. Aunt Song has been a great help. If it weren't for her, I really wouldn't feel at ease."

Song Ying was holding a long bamboo pole, preparing to hang clothes to dry. Hearing this, she jokingly chimed in, a slight smile playing on her lips, a hint of smugness in her eyes. "Sister Ling, now you know how important I am, right?"

Pengfei, standing to the side, also laughed heartily, his eyes narrowing into slits, and echoed, "Aunt Song is the most important."

Huang Ling smiled, reached out, picked up the clothesline pole next to her, and gently slapped his bottom.

"Go inside and study. All you do is laugh. Have you finished your homework? Don't just think about playing. You can't neglect your studies either."

Pengfei rubbed his spanked bottom, feeling happy. He loved how his aunt and uncle treated him like family, scolding and beating him just like his own mother. It was so nice!

The following day, Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying, as they had done before, went to their workplaces to ask for leave.

The two decided to depart for Shanghai on Monday night.

In September, the family got their first ID card, so they no longer needed to carry a letter of introduction when going out.

However, work permits and marriage certificates are still essential for finding accommodation.

Before leaving, Zhuang Chaoying called Xiaoting to her side with a concerned expression and gave her some special instructions.

"Xiaoting, you have to keep a close eye on Pengfei and make sure he doesn't go out wandering around, and especially don't let him go to watch midnight videos with Dongzhe. You also have to behave yourself, understand? If anything happens, just call your Aunt Song."

Xiaoting nodded obediently, a sweet smile on her face.

"Dad, don't worry, I definitely have faith in Pengfei."

But in reality, she had some doubts in her heart, her brows furrowed slightly, and she wondered to herself: Pengfei and Lin Dongzhe often secretly watch the videos during the day, so why can't they watch the videos at night?

Xiaoting watched her parents happily carrying their luggage bags, which contained stir-fried cured meat and dried fish brought by her brother, as well as pickled vegetables made by Aunt Song. She walked out of the yard with a joyful heart.

Back in her room, she sat on the edge of the bed, increasingly uneasy. The doubts in her mind gnawed at her like a tiny insect.

Xiaoting walked up to Pengfei, looking curious. "Brother, why doesn't Dad let you and Lin Dongzhe go to watch the video at night?"

Pengfei was sitting in a chair, engrossed in reading a novel, when he heard this. His hand trembled, and the book almost fell to the ground. His heart skipped a beat. Although he and Dongzhe had never watched the midnight video, they knew what was shown. If Xiaoting found out, it would be terrible. He had to explain quickly.

He quickly sat up straight, forcing a smile. "Xiaoting, Uncle probably really doesn't want Dongzhe and me to go out at night, afraid something might happen. The video arcade shows the same things during the day and at night."

As he spoke, he silently prayed that Xiaoting would believe him.

Xiaoting nodded thoughtfully. "Oh, I see. I'll have to keep a close eye on you two. If you two go out to watch videos tonight, hehe."

Pengfei put down his novel, got up with a sigh of relief, and headed to the kitchen. "Xiaoting, I'll go heat up some milk for you right away. Dongzhe and I definitely won't go."

Huang Ling and Zhuang Chaoying, after a long journey, finally arrived in Shanghai and checked into a hotel that cost fifty yuan a night.

Zhuang Chaoying made thorough preparations this time, even bringing brushes and bottled disinfectant from home, just wanting to take a nice bath. Last time, because A-Ling thought it was dirty, everyone used the bathtub, and even when he wiped it with a towel, it didn't work. But he learned his lesson.

This time he was smarter. As soon as he entered the room, he couldn't wait to take out a brush and disinfectant, ready to show off his skills.

Huang Ling lay on Zhuang Chaoying's body, her voice soft and sweet, with a hint of coquetry.

"Chao Ying, I want to take a shower."

Huang Ling knew that Chao Ying had been diligently cleaning the bathtub with a brush ever since she entered the room, so she knew exactly what Chao Ying was thinking. A slight smile appeared on her lips.

Zhuang Chaoying used her abdominal muscles to firmly hold Ah Ling in her arms, and the two headed straight for the bathroom, beginning their intimate time together.

"Zhuang Chaoying, you don't need to help me wash, I can manage by myself!"

"Don't shout if you can't reach the back, it'll be embarrassing if the neighbors hear."

"You still know how to be embarrassed."

"Tear! Ah Ling, it hurts!"
