Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Xiao Fangfang’s secret weapon.

Qian Juxiang's task was actually not easy. Her daughter trusted her. From the beginning, she did the laundry, cooking, and took care of the children. Later, if her daughter wanted to eat some fruit snacks or there were not enough paper towels and toothpaste at home, she would just give her money and let her go to the supermarket to buy them.

Now, more than half a year has passed, and the burden on Qian Juxiang's shoulders has become heavier. Her daughter and her husband almost don't care about anything at home. Apart from remembering to pay her salary, they also give her an additional daily allowance of 300 yuan every month, allowing her to buy her daily necessities by herself. If there are sales promotions in the supermarket, she can stock up more without worry and ask her for more when the allowance is used up.

So before she knew it, Qian Juxiang became the housekeeper again.

Also, because she had been assigned to run errands by them in the past few months, she was familiar with the brands and prices commonly used by her daughter's family. Later, Qian Juxiang had a large amount of purchasing money in her hands. She grimaced with heartache while stocking up on goods for the family.

She likes to take on responsibilities, and now that she has gained her daughters' trust and been given the power, she naturally has to grit her teeth and do her best so that they can make money outside without any worries.

While taking care of the family's food, clothing and daily expenses, Qian Juxiang did not forget the original instructions of her daughter and son-in-law. Her most important task was to take care of little Fangfang and not let her stay at home all day. It just so happened that this was a little smart person who could not sit still. The two of them hit it off immediately. Qian Juxiang took the child out for a walk almost three times a day. She also made an appointment with the parents of several children who played well with Fangfang, and took the children to the nearby park to play in the mud at a fixed time every day. In addition, she also met several old sisters in the community, and they also had a fixed time for gossip and chat every day. She was used to taking the little one with her when she went out. The two of them spent at least five or six hours a day outside.

In short, even if Liu Suqin didn't give the task of accompanying Dad to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment to her mother, Qian Juxiang herself was busy with work. Seeing the three young people making an appointment on their own, she acquiesced even though she felt a little disappointed. "Then I'll trouble you, Quansheng."

Lin Quansheng: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well go and see how they learn to drive and learn something new."

After exchanging pleasantries and finishing breakfast, it was almost time to go out, so the three of them each grabbed their things and prepared to leave.

In order to facilitate driving practice, Liu Suqin dressed casually today, wearing a tight T-shirt and overalls, and a pair of white sneakers. She looked very youthful and fashionable, but the shoes were a little difficult to put on and take off. While she was squatting down to tie her shoelaces, Lin Nanjiang and Lin Quansheng could walk out directly.

However, only Lin Quansheng left first. Lin Nanjiang stood patiently at the door waiting for his wife, and even took the bag from her shoulder and carried it on his back.

"Let's go." Liu Suqin finally tied her shoelaces and was ready to set off. As she took a step, she reached out to him to return her bag, but she didn't expect her hand to be completely wrapped up.

Lin Nanjiang held her hand with one hand and waved to the people watching them from behind the house with the other hand, not even turning his head, and said in a casual manner, "Dear baby, mom and dad are going out."

Their response was Xiaofang's crying and the unceremoniously slamming of a door. Before the door closed, a few faint whispers of the grandparents frantically coaxing the baby could be heard. Liu Suqin couldn't help but glare at the culprit, "Keep your voice down, are you being too proud?"

Lin Nanjiang laughed loudly. "Wife, don't you think Xiao Fangfang is very funny? She's like a little frog, puffing up when teased. She's so cute. But don't worry, she's definitely just making noises now, so she won't drop gold beans so easily."

Liu Suqin admitted that what he said made sense. Xiao Fangfang became more and more cheerful and active after playing with the other children in the park. Her vocabulary increased at an alarming rate. At the same time, she also learned the tricks of other children and would throw tantrums and roll around if they disagreed with something.

Because she used to be a sweet girl that everyone praised, and she rarely cried, so this trick was particularly useful when she first learned it. It made a group of elders very upset and they couldn't get anything they wanted. Until one day, Liu Suqin found that the little girl had been crying for a long time, but there was only thunder and no rain, and she was so angry that she laughed.

From then on, Liu Suqin repeatedly stressed the importance of not letting the little one cry and make a fuss. If she felt really distressed, she could comfort her and reason with her, but she could never meet her unreasonable demands. The more the child threw a tantrum, the more she could not let her succeed.

Whenever this happened, Liu Suqin agreed with the saying that the prerequisite for maintaining emotional stability is sufficient money. For example, in her previous life, when her children cried for no reason, she would be in a good mood if she didn't give them a good lesson. How could she have time to comfort and guide them?

But in this life, she is also busy with work, but she can patiently reason with the little one who can't even speak clearly. Even if she doesn't have time, she will still patiently explain to her parents how to deal with this situation. The central idea is that children have the nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, and will subconsciously imitate behaviors that are beneficial to themselves, but she herself does not understand right from wrong. Beating and scolding are only temporary solutions and not the root cause. What should be done is to guide, reason, and sternly reject her unreasonable demands. Over time, she found that crying was useless and she would no longer waste her energy.

It's no wonder that her request made Qian Juxiang and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

They didn't think Xiao Fangfang's request was excessive at all. It was normal for children to love eating, playing and wanting to go out with their parents. Some things could obviously be satisfied, but the child's mother insisted on refusing them without mercy, which made everyone very embarrassed. If she also asked to teach her own good baby a lesson, even a cruel person like Qian Juxiang would say that she couldn't do it. Is she still a human being if she attacks the white and tender milk ball?

Fortunately, the child's mother was not too cruel and allowed them to hold the child and comfort him. Qian Juxiang and Aunt Zhang then strictly followed her requirements. After a period of time, they had seen initial results.

Take them going out alone for example. When Xiao Fangfang had just learned this trick, if Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang dared to go out without her in front of her, the little girl would howl so loudly that the whole building could hear her. She would never wait until her unscrupulous father did something bad to provoke her before she started to attack.

Thinking of her daughter's impish behavior, Liu Suqin couldn't hold back her anger. She glared at the unscrupulous father, "You treat your daughter as a toy, don't you? If my parents heard this, even if you were their most satisfied son-in-law, they would beat you with a feather duster."

"Nanjiang, Suqin." The couple lingered at the door. Lin Quansheng, who had already gone downstairs, couldn't help but urge them and complain, "Why do you two have so many secrets to tell each other every day?"

"Here we go." The two hurried downstairs. Lin Nanjiang even retorted, "You already have a partner, so why are you asking me such a low-level question?"

Lin Quansheng also retorted, "We are not as clingy as you two."

"I get it. You're just in love but can't express it, right?"

The two brothers started bickering over a disagreement, and Liu Suqin jokingly said, "Aren't you two half-brothers? You're the kind who buy cars and houses together. How come you left your best buddy behind when it comes to driving lessons this time?"

"I called him, but he refused."

"Why?" Liu Suqin was a little curious, because from Lin Quansheng's tone, it didn't seem like he was uninterested in driving.

"Ask him." Lin Nanjiang nodded at the person who was half a flight ahead of them, his eyes smiling and looking very happy. Liu Suqin then asked with confidence, "Brother Quansheng, what are you busy with recently?"

"Nothing." Lin Quansheng resisted the urge to turn around, but he scratched the back of his head subconsciously, hesitating a little, "I just need to save money for a while."

"But you've already bought a car and a house, and your monthly income is so overwhelming that you can't even spend it all. Why are you still trying so hard to save money?" Liu Suqin had already guessed the truth from Lin Nanjiang's eyes and the man's awkward back. She deliberately stretched out her tone, full of teasing, "Is it to get married?"

Lin Quansheng didn't say anything, but his ears were visibly red, and he trotted down the last few steps.

Liu Suqin and Lin Nanjiang looked at each other, then walked out of the corridor slowly holding hands. Lin Quansheng had already started the motorcycle and was waiting for them to get on and go.

Perhaps having calmed down, Lin Quansheng told Liu Suqin behind him as he rode his bike, "It's still too early to talk about getting married. We just agreed to accompany her back to her hometown for the New Year this year. If her parents don't mind, we'll be truly settled. Next year, when she comes to the interior to look for a job, she can... live directly at my house."

Liu Suqin knew what it meant to settle down, but she still asked, "Just meeting her parents? What about your parents?"

Lin Quansheng was silent for a moment, then exhaled, "Let's just disappear for now. I can guess how they'll react."

Lin Nanjiang consoled her, "It's okay. Back home, there are plenty of couples who want to have a baby first before having a wedding. As long as you two stay together well, have a child, and then bring your wife and child home, your parents will be willing to help you arrange a wedding, no matter how reluctant they are. By the way, is your partner of marriageable age? If you can't have a wedding yet, get the marriage certificate. Don't let your sister-in-law feel uneasy."

"That's what I planned too, which is why I wanted to save some money before the New Year. If Xiaoqing's parents don't object to this marriage, I'll give her the betrothal money right away. That way, she won't be left with me without a legitimate status."

Liu Suqin thought that this sounded reasonable. When she heard him say that he would take his girlfriend to live with him after meeting her parents, she almost thought she had misjudged him. Lin Quansheng, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a scumbag. She even thought that as long as he was close to vermilion, he would be red, and as long as he was close to ink, he would be black. Now that she saw that he was sincere, and didn't seem like someone who would take advantage of others without taking responsibility, she felt relieved. She only reminded him, "We all know that you have your own difficulties in making such arrangements, but your girlfriend may not be the same. Girls, after all, mostly have great fantasies about their future husbands and families. As long as she really likes you, she will hope to get the approval and love of your parents and brothers, and even the blessings of everyone around them. So you can make such arrangements, but you must explain the ins and outs to your girlfriend clearly and let her know that it is for her own good, not to despise her."

Lin Quansheng shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, no, how could I dislike her."

"You have to express your feelings, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstandings."

Lin Nanjiang could understand his good friend's reluctance to appear timid in front of his girlfriend, but his wife's reminder made sense, so he made a suggestion, "You're both going to meet your parents soon, so shouldn't you bring your girlfriend over to my house? I'll tell my wife about your family first, and then you can tell her in detail."
