Chapter 108: No. 12 Female Lead (End)

　　It started raining the next day. Unlike the rain in summer, the rain in autumn was continuous and drizzling. It was very cold in the morning, so Jiang Youtao put on a plaid jacket over her clothes.

　　After the second class, Jiang Youtao went to the office with her books, and kept greeting the students along the way. Most of them were girls. As she walked from the classroom to the office, her face was frozen with smiles.

　　The teachers were all sitting in the office drinking water and chatting. Jiang Youtao also picked up the quilt on the table and drank water.

　　She was raised her glass when someone bumped into her. If Jiang Youtao hadn't reacted quickly, she would have retorted.

　　The teacher who bumped into her quickly apologized to her with a very sincere attitude. Jiang Youtao shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay. Is Teacher Zhou going to go back?"

　　Teacher Zhou was a young woman in her twenties, looking dignified and elegant. She casually replied to Jiang Youtao and left in a hurry.

　　Jiang Youtao continued to drink water.

　　Teacher Huang and Teacher Zheng behind her were talking: "I don't know what Teacher Zhou wants. The Jiang family has a house and relatives, so why do they stay with her? They are just neighbors, but she still has to get up early and stay up late every day to serve them."

　　Teacher Zheng said, "Isn't Jiang Heng dating her? The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and the two children are still young. If she doesn't serve you, who will?"

　　Teacher Zhou is also a well-known figure in the county middle school. Jiang Youtao is so familiar with all the stories about her that she has become calloused.

　　Teacher Zhou's name is Zhou Yuying. Her family used to run a grocery store and had some assets. Later, her grocery store was nationalized, and the current department store was once hers.

　　Both her parents are gone, and her grandparents also died a few years ago. She now lives alone in a two-story house passed down in the family.

　　Jiang Heng was her neighbor. His family was poor and had many children. Jiang Heng was the eldest, and he had a pair of younger brothers and sisters.

　　Last year's heavy snow collapsed Jiang Heng's house. Under the persuasion of the neighborhood office, Zhou Yuying's family took in the three siblings.

　　The two little ones were naughty and made trouble at home every day and ate a lot. When they started primary school, their parents were called every two or three days.

　　Jiang Heng works at the Water Conservancy Bureau. He goes to work every day and eats when he gets home from get off work. His younger brothers and sisters are left to Zhou Yuying with peace of mind, saying that she is a teacher who can teach children. He doesn't know anything, so he is relieved to leave it to Zhou Yuying.

　　So Zhou Yuying was very busy every day, taking care of the children, buying groceries and cooking, and all her salary was spent. Jiang Heng said he wanted to save money to build a house, but he was actually not willing to contribute a penny.

　　Jiang Youtao felt that this plot sounded familiar to her. It was simply the standard configuration of a resentful female lead or supporting actress.

　　But she and Zhou Yuying were in contact every day, even with a lot of physical contact, but she never received any notifications from the melon-eating system.

　　Over time, Jiang Youtao no longer cared about it.

　　Gu Nianwei also came. She had just gone to the bathroom. When she came in, she walked over to Jiang Youtao and said, "Taotao, did you know that we are moving to a new dormitory?"

　　The teachers' single dormitories are in a small row opposite the playground. There are only four or five rooms in total, and they are all full.

　　Jiang Youtao hadn't heard about this yet, but she became interested after hearing this: "Where are we moving to?"

　　Teacher Zheng said, "I know about this. They have cleared out a few rooms in the courtyard and said they will use them as single dormitories for you. The rooms in the school will be demolished to build an activity room."

　　After all, Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei had just arrived, and they were not as well-informed as Teacher Zheng and the others.

　　"That's great. Living in this single dormitory, I have to be careful even when hanging clothes out to dry. It's really inconvenient." Jiang Youtao complained.

　　Their underwear is hung in the room to dry, and it feels weird to hang it outside.

　　"I estimate that in two or three days, the principal will notify you."

　　Within two or three days, after the morning classes, the principal told them to move. The houses cleared out in the staff quarters were not big, only about 40 square meters, with two bedrooms and a living room.

　　There are not many teachers in the school, and the single teachers can each get an apartment to live in first.

　　Jiang Youtao just felt like a piece of pie hit them directly on the head.

　　Principal He said: "This house is for you to live in first. After the New Year, when the new dormitory is built, you will have to move back."

　　Even if it's only temporary, it makes Jiang Youtao and the others happy.

　　They had just moved in and there were not many things in the dorm, so they could move everything in one lunch hour, and that included the time for cleaning.

　　The first bell for class has already rung. Jiang Youtao has no classes in the afternoon, so she lies down on the bed, feeling particularly comfortable.

　　It feels so good to live in a room by yourself.

　　The only downside is that the next house is Teacher Zhao's home.

　　Teacher Zhao started scolding people again. She was a very powerful person, both in the class and at home. Her husband couldn't even raise his head after being scolded by her, and only her mother-in-law dared to say a few words to her. But it was useless, because Teacher Zhao always had more words to refute her.

　　Teacher Zhao went to school, and Jiang Youtao got up and went to the yard to wash clothes.

　　What a coincidence, before she started washing, she heard Teacher Zhao's mother-in-law talking to her son.

　　"Shiyong, what do you think about what I told you before? You are already old and you don't have a son. Who wouldn't laugh at you if you go out?"

　　As soon as she heard this, she knew that it was time to eat some melons. Jiang Youtao took out some melon seeds and a small stool from her backpack, and started eating them while leaning against the wall. In order to make it easier to eat the melons, she asked the melon-eating system to put the small speaker next to her.

　　"Shiwu's sister-in-law's family is in financial difficulty, and they really have no other choice. Shiwu's sister-in-law's husband said that he will help you give birth to a son, and you can just take him away after the birth. If it's a girl, they will raise her themselves, and you just need to give some child support. Anyway, his family doesn't have a daughter, and a girl is rare."

　　After hearing this, Jiang Youtao finally understood what the mother and son next door were planning.

　　Teacher Zhao has been married to the Liu family for so many years and has only given birth to two children, both of whom are girls. Her eldest daughter is already 20 years old and got married last year. Her son-in-law's family works at the county grain station. Teacher Zhao's face is full of pride when she mentions her daughter.

　　The younger daughter is Liu Jing. She is in the same class as Xu Manqiu and she went to play with Xu Manqiu yesterday.

　　Jiang Youtao also knew a little about Teacher Zhao's family situation. Her husband and her mother-in-law both had rural household registration, and they had moved in directly after Teacher Zhao was allocated a house in the school.

　　Now they do nothing at home and rely on Teacher Zhao's salary to make a living every day. This is also the reason why Teacher Zhao can be so arrogant at home.

　　It took a long time for Zhao's husband Liu Shiyong to answer his mother, Mrs. Li: "We can't do this. What if Yaqing finds out?"

　　Yaqing is Teacher Zhao's name.

　　Old Lady Li was so disappointed: "If you didn't tell her and I didn't tell her, who will know? Then I will say that this is a child born by my parents and they can't afford to raise it. What can she say?"

　　Liu Shiyong didn't say anything, so Mrs. Li continued, "If she wasn't so unpromising, would I have come up with this idea? Besides, even if she knew, what could she do? Isn't it better to raise your child than to raise a random child from somewhere else?"

　　"At least it's her biological child. Doesn't she always say how hard it is to be pregnant and how tiring it is to give birth? Now she's not allowed to give birth, and she's still not happy?"

　　Mrs. Li's words seemed to persuade Liu Shiyong. After a long while, Liu Shiyong said "hmm".

　　After that, he stopped talking. Liu Shiyong went back to the house, got a kettle, and went out to play chess with the idle old men on the street.

　　Old Mrs. Li also packed up her things and went out.

　　She wants to go back to her hometown to discuss this matter with her sisters-in-law and put the matter of having a grandson on the agenda as soon as possible.

　　As soon as she walked out of the family compound, Old Lady Li saw two familiar old ladies talking. One of them was holding her eldest grandson, and the little bird between his legs made Old Lady Li jealous.

　　Thinking of the grandson who was about to come, Old Lady Li walked a little faster.

　　Jiang Youtao took this matter to heart. For the time being, she didn't plan to tell Teacher Zhao about it. Given Teacher Zhao's temper, if she told her, not only would Teacher Zhao not appreciate it, she might even resent her for having fun watching her family matters.

　　She would have to observe further.

　　Jiang Youtao soaked her clothes in hot water and walked to school. The third class in the afternoon was hers, so she had to go early.

　　As soon as she walked out of the house, she saw Teacher Zheng coming out of the building opposite. She was holding two peaches in her hand. When she saw Jiang Youtao, she enthusiastically gave one to her.

　　"The yellow peaches my parents sent me are so sweet, you should try them." Yangping County is famous for its yellow peaches. Now is the season when yellow peaches are ripe. Sometimes when you walk on the road, you can meet fellow villagers carrying baskets to sell peaches.

　　"Thank you, Teacher Zheng." Teacher Zheng is an old teacher in the school. She teaches biology. She also attended the safety class when Jiang Youtao gave it last time.

　　At this moment, the two of them were walking and discussing the content of the safety class.

　　After the discussion, Teacher Zheng asked Jiang Youtao: "Teacher Jiang, did Teacher Zhao come to see you that day?"

　　Teacher Zheng has worked with Teacher Zhao for many years, and she knows Teacher Zhao's character very well.

　　When she knew that Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei were going to give lectures on this subject, she knew that Teacher Zhao will see and talked to them.

　　This teacher Zhao is particularly feudal.

　　"She did look for us, but Teacher Gu and I turned her away. Did she look for you too?"

　　"Not now, but she have looked for me before, because I explained this section in too much detail in biology class, and she felt that I was corrupting her students, and asked me not to talk about it in the future." Thinking of what happened at that time, Teacher Zheng rolled her eyes to the sky.

　　The staff quarters of the County No. 1 Middle School are not big, with only a dozen households, and several households do not live here. But every one of these teachers dislikes Teacher Zhao.

　　The main thing is that she is not good at being a person or doing things, and she likes to show off.

　　Teacher Zheng said: "Don't be fooled by her making a lot of noise at home. In fact, she is not doing anything. She and her daughter do all the housework. Her mother-in-law and her husband are like the old queen and the emperor. They do nothing in the house."

　　"Last time she wanted to cause trouble for you, but she had to tidy up the house before she left." After Teacher Zheng finished speaking, she also arrived at the school. When Teacher Zhao came back with a book in her hand and a gloomy face, she stopped talking.

　　The two looked at each other and sat back at their desks.

　　After a while, Teacher Zhou came, accompanied by a girl about ten years old. She had two ponytails tied with red hairbands and wore clothes that were altered from Zhou Yuying's clothes. She was dressed neatly. As soon as the child entered the door, she looked around with a gleam in her eyes.

　　Zhou Yuying apologized to everyone as soon as she entered the room: "I'm sorry, everyone. I really had no choice but to bring Xiao Min here. She will only stay here for one class. I promise not to let her touch anyone's things."

　　After Zhou Yuying finished speaking, she left with her books before the class bell rang without waiting for anyone to speak. Jiang Min sat on her desk and messed up the neatly arranged things on it.

　　After a while, she walked to Jiang Youtao's desk and looked at the pen on Jiang Youtao's desk.

　　"Teacher, can you lend me your pen?"

　　Jiang Youtao turned to look at her, but before she could say anything, the melon-eating system spoke first.
