"Mingxue, how about we hire a postpartum nanny? She can take care of you and the baby, okay?"

Zhang Mingxue was stunned when she heard this.

Of course she wanted to, but they didn't have the means. If they did, she would have agreed without saying a word.

Do you think we have money?

"We've been married for so long, and we don't even have much savings, let alone a down payment."

Zhang Mingxue used to think that if two people had feelings for each other, they would definitely be happy. But now she realizes that the prerequisite for happiness is money. You need to have enough money. Without money, nothing else matters.

Wen Xingsheng was naturally aware of this matter, but he felt that he couldn't take leave from his work, so he had to find another way.

"Neither set of parents can come to take care of you, so let's hire a postpartum nanny. Or how about this, I've heard that some postpartum care centers cost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. If we grit our teeth, it'll be better for both you and the baby. What do you think?"

Wen Xingsheng had no choice. His parents said they were unwell, and his mother-in-law was even worse off. He was too ashamed to ask.

After hearing this, Zhang Mingxue was somewhat tempted, but still said something symbolic.

"That's so... expensive."

"This one will do," Wen Xingsheng decided.

...

Mo Yan was in a bad mood all day after receiving the phone call. When she got home, she saw Zhang Mingzhi arrive with a girl.

Oh wow, the female lead from the current timeline has arrived.

The girl was all smiles; she seemed like an optimistic person.

That's true, if someone isn't optimistic, they can't be called a little sun.

She has too many boyfriends.

Zhang Mingzhi is just a backup option, the kind that's not even on the waiting list.

"Mingzhi, is this your girlfriend?"

As soon as Mo Yan spoke, the little girl laughed, and she didn't refute him.

Mo Yan: "???" If you're not right, then say you aren't!

"Second Aunt, I'm just pursuing Youyou, and I don't know if she'll agree."

At this time, the female lead was Zhang Mingzhi's college classmate, and she met the male lead because of a supernatural event.

Paranormal event?

Youyou became even more shy. Zhang Mingzhi glanced at her and said, "Don't say that in front of your elders, okay? It all depends on your efforts."

Isn't that a lack of refusal?

"Okay, Youyou, would you like to have dinner together? How about we go out to eat?"

Mo Yan wanted to see if the male lead had appeared; the sooner she resolved the issue, the sooner she could leave.

“Okay.” Youyou obediently agreed.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan exclaimed, "Wow, this little girl is interesting!"

Does she have feelings for Zhang Mingzhi, or is she simply keeping him as a backup option?

Mo Yan decided to take another look.

They went to a hot pot restaurant together. Zhang Mingzhi went to order the food, while Youyou and Moyan were alone in the room.

Youyou said to Moyan, "Second Aunt, I've always heard Mingzhi mention you. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be where he is today, and he wouldn't have been able to get into a good university."

Youyou spoke very seriously, at least at this moment. Mo Yan could tell that she did indeed have feelings for Zhang Mingzhi.

"Youyou, do you like my Mingzhi?"

Youyou's face turned a little red, as if she was very shy.

"Second Aunt, I do have feelings for him, and I even like him a little. I want to get to know him better. We are both from poor families, and we have plans for the future."

We want to work together to buy a house after graduation.

You may not know this, but I am also a novelist. I really like his novels; they are delicate and full of emotion.

He's my idol; I couldn't believe it was real when I met him.

At this moment, Zhang Mingzhi returned, and the two of them stopped talking.

However, Mo Yan had gained a preliminary understanding that Youyou liked Zhang Mingzhi.

Then... why did it change to something else later?

Everyone enjoyed the meal. Mo Yan suggested that Zhang Mingzhi bring Youyou back for meals more often.

Zhang Mingzhi smiled and agreed.

Zhang Mingzhi took Youyou home.

However, things suddenly changed a month later.

Mo Yan noticed that Zhang Mingzhi was sullen and drinking at home.

When she arrived, Zhang Mingzhi had already lost consciousness.

Mo Yan realized something was wrong.

First, Zhang Mingzhi doesn't drink alcohol.

Secondly, no matter how heartbroken and desperate he was, Zhang Mingzhi would never commit suicide.

Third, even though the gas valve was turned off, there was still a smell of natural gas in the house.

With a wave of her hand, all the smells vanished. Someone wanted Zhang Mingzhi dead!

Mo Yan gave Zhang Mingzhi some pills and woke him up.

"Mingzhi, Mingzhi, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Mingzhi woke up groggily and felt very down when he saw his second aunt.

"Second Aunt, Youyou said she doesn't like me and told me not to appear in front of her."

Mo Yan frowned, somewhat puzzled, "Did you say that suddenly?"

What did they say to you?

Mo Yan felt that the girl she had met that day wouldn't act like that.

Even if it's a breakup, it shouldn't be like this.

She suddenly changed, and then she told me.

"I have never liked you. You look disgusting. You're just a poor kid. What right do you have to like me? Come up to me."

Can you give me a future, or can you give me the life I want?

You're just a poor student with nothing. What makes you think you can be with me?
