Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Nourishing the Teachers

After Jiang Cheng paid the money, he went to find Sister Wang in the ward and asked whether she needed to call her husband.

Sister Wang burst into tears upon seeing Jiang Cheng.

"If it weren’t for you, Jiang Cheng—I—I—"

Sister Wang touched her belly with one hand, frightened.

She had always wanted a child, and after being married for five years, this was her first pregnancy.

She couldn’t imagine what she would do if she had fallen to the ground today.

"I call you sister, so let’s not stand on ceremony. I’ll go inform your family and have them bring you some food to nourish yourself. Don’t cry; the doctor said it’s bad for the baby."

As soon as she heard it’s bad for the baby, Sister Wang immediately wiped away her tears and nodded repeatedly like an obedient child.

Jiang Cheng contacted someone with a number afterward and stayed with Sister Wang until her mother-in-law and her own mother arrived.

Both elders expressed their gratitude to Jiang Cheng, returned the money Jiang Cheng had advanced, and felt it wasn’t enough even after personally taking Jiang Cheng out of the hospital.

From the elders’ attire, it seemed clear that Sister Wang’s family was rather well-off.

Jiang Cheng had no intention of currying favor, but it was better to have good relationships than bad ones.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Cheng returned to the recycling station, reported the situation to the director, and worked until 4:30 p.m.

The director felt reassured and praised Jiang Cheng for her dedication as she left.

Ordinarily, a colleague wouldn’t return in the afternoon.

But not only did Jiang Cheng return to relay news, she also finished her shift.

On her way from the recycling station to night school, Jiang Cheng distinctly felt someone following her.

She discreetly took out a spoon from her space and quickly glanced at the corner.

A man, not very tall.

She couldn’t see his face, but his build seemed somewhat familiar.

After running through people in her mind, she figured there’s an eighty percent chance it was Sister Kong’s son, Dong Zi, from noon.

Was it infatuation? Intentional revenge? Or was there another motive?

Jiang Cheng clutched a pepper spray in her palm, also prepared to use the stun baton for defense at any time.

She arrived at night school, and Dong Zi didn’t make a move.

Was he surveilling her?

Jiang Cheng speculated as she entered night school.

She took out a few pieces of cake she’d prepared earlier and delivered them from the gatekeeper, Uncle Wang, to Teacher Lü.

If Jiang Cheng wanted to gift something, it was impossible for others to refuse.

They continued learning from the dictionary, but today Jiang Cheng approached another language.

Teacher Lü took out an English book, applying the same learning method.

Teacher Lü read once, and Jiang Cheng repeated it once.

When Jiang Cheng smoothly uttered the elegant English, Teacher Lü finally stopped hiding her smile.

"Good! Good! Good!"

A triple proclamation of "good" conveyed Teacher Lü’s excitement.

She had truly encountered a linguistic prodigy.

"Jiang Cheng, there will be people around you recently, don’t worry, just go about your business. These background checks are basic requirements, do you understand?"

Teacher Lü had decided to utilize all her connections to pave the way for Jiang Cheng.

Of course, she wouldn’t tell Jiang Cheng this, but she’d simply act on it.

"I don’t really understand, but I know the teacher means well for me."

What Jiang Cheng said made Teacher Lü feel gratified.

Indeed, she was just a village girl who did not really comprehend these matters.

"Oh—if only I’d met you earlier."

Teacher Lü genuinely sighed.

Jiang Cheng confidently replied, "Not worrying about the past, not fearing the future, the present is best!"

"You must believe, I am such a gifted genius, different from everyone else!"

Teacher Lü laughed heartily, agreeing wholeheartedly.

After the class, Jiang Cheng went to another teacher’s office first to find geography teacher Mr. Li.

"Mr. Li, here’s a few dates for you to replenish your energy and blood. I notice your complexion isn’t looking very well."

Jiang Cheng placed over ten dates on Mr. Li’s desk with both hands.

Then she took out a big handful of goji berries from her bag.

"Don’t think I’m biased! You all work hard, I’m probably going to be a troublesome student in the future, I wanted to calm everyone’s nerves ahead of time."

After placing down the goji berries, Jiang Cheng left, leaving the teachers at a loss on how to react.
