In her past life, a treacherous man and a despicable woman conspired against her, leading her to a tragic end filled with hatred.
Only at the moment of death did she realize that her foolish ...
Ye Mohan agreed with Jian Yixue leaving four nannies, but seeing that she only kept one month's nanny, he couldn't help but ask, "How about we choose another month's nanny?"
The nanny, who had initially thought the matter was already settled, suddenly had her eyes light up upon hearing this, hoping that Jian Yixue would stay.
After all, before she came here, her supervisor had told her that as long as she did a good job, the wages here would definitely be better than anywhere else.
Moreover, this place looks relatively easy, and having two nannies means that what was originally one person's job is now done by two people, so no one wants to take on such a job.
Upon hearing Ye Mohan's suggestion, Jian Yixue thought about it and agreed. Since there were already so many people, one more wouldn't make a difference.
So, they chose a kind-looking nanny with a smiling face to stay.
The reason, of course, is that such people don't have to do any work, and just looking at them makes her feel good.
Everyone looked at the lucky ones who were chosen, and they all looked disappointed and envious. But there was nothing they could do. What could they do if they weren't chosen? Fortunately, the trip wasn't in vain. Ye Mohan gave each of them a week's wages as a subsidy.
This money is enough to help them find their next job.
Besides, they were already high-end maternity nurses and childcare workers, with their schedules already packed. It's just that this family was so wealthy that everyone was tempted by them.
Ye Mohan instructed Lin Yi to arrange for the other selected people to be sent away, while Zhang Ma was responsible for making arrangements for the six selected individuals.
After all, Jian Yixue could give birth at any time, and they were not short of money, so they naturally decided to have her stay in advance.
Thus, the once desolate castle villa became lively because of Jane Yixue's impending childbirth.
The old man has never left since the day they returned, and neither have the others.
Seeing that the old man had no one else to play with besides Butler Jin, Jian Yixue thought of the village chief in her space, so she took some time to go in.
Inside the space, Ye Mohan helped Jian Yixue appear on the specially enclosed area for their living. The place had changed significantly from before. The house was still the small villa that Jian Yixue had in the countryside outside the space, but there was a wooden annex next to the house, which looked like a kitchen.
There was also a cultivated vegetable garden behind the house, which was lush and green at the moment due to the special space.
The wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen at that moment must be Aunt Qiu busy at work, while Grandpa Village Chief is leisurely fishing by the Ling Lake not far away.
Instead of going to the kitchen, Jian Yixue went to the lakeside first. Perhaps the village chief was too engrossed in fishing, because he didn't even notice her approaching until she was right behind him.
Finally, Jian Yixue spoke first, calling out, "Grandpa Village Chief."
The village chief then realized what was happening, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and his eyes were filled with surprise when he saw Jian Yixue.
"Snow Girl, what brings you here?"
Jian Yixue walked over with a smile and said, "Come in and see you and Aunt Qiu. Are you settling in well here?"
The village chief chuckled and said, "I'm quite used to it. Everything here is much better than outside. I feel much better physically, and I don't get out of breath when I walk anymore."
Jian Yixue was not surprised by this result, after all, the air in the space was purified, which was incomparable to that outside.
"Okay, that's fine then."
Afterwards, Jian Yixue told the village chief about their return to the capital from Lancheng and explained the purpose of their visit.
The village chief agreed without hesitation.
"Anyway, it's the same for me whether I'm here or out. I can still fish, and after staying inside for so long, there's no one else around except for A-Qiu and Mengbao. It's good to go out for a walk," Grandpa Village Chief said with a smile.
Jian Yixue and Ye Mohan exchanged a glance, a smile in their eyes.
"Village chief, the food is ready. Come back and eat."
Aunt Qiu's shouts could be heard from afar.
Hearing the sound, the old man glanced at the side room from which smoke was rising and said, "Alright, I'll be right back."
Then he looked at Jian Yixue and the other person and said, "What a coincidence, let's have a meal before going out."
Jian Yixue did not refuse, nodded, and followed the village chief with Ye Mohan toward the house.
As soon as Jian Yixue entered the side room, she saw Aunt Qiu busy at the stove and dining table.
The village chief, as usual, asked with a smile, "A-Qiu, what are we having for dinner today?"
Aunt Qiu was serving the dishes and replied with a smile, "What else can we eat? Just the fish you caught and the vegetables I grew myself. It's just the two of us, and we can make do with whatever we have. Besides, these are all organic; you can't buy them anywhere else."
After speaking, Aunt Qiu turned to look at the village chief while holding the dishes.
When his gaze fell upon Jian Yixue, he was immediately taken aback, then quickly placed the dishes on the table and said excitedly, "Miss, young master, what brings you here? Where are Madam and Master?"
Ye Mohan nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
The other party was an elder whom Jian Yixue respected, so naturally it was also his.
Jian Yixue said with a smile, "I came in to take a look. Now that I'm back in the capital to prepare for childbirth, I thought I'd pick you all up so we could go out and have some fun together. Mom and Dad are outside; you'll see them when we go out later."
Hearing this, Aunt Qiu nodded, wiped her hands on her apron, and said, "I didn't know you were coming to eat, so I didn't cook many dishes. Why don't you wait a bit, and I'll cook a few more dishes."
After saying that, he prepared to walk towards the small villa.
Jian Yixue quickly stopped her, saying, "No need, these dishes are fine, very nutritious. Let's just eat like this. We're all family, no need to be so formal."
Seeing Jian Yixue say this, Aunt Qiu still felt a little guilty, but she didn't take any further action.
"Then I'll go get the rice, you guys start cooking."
Aunt Qiu looked at the wooden table next to her and said.
Jian Yixue nodded, then walked to the wooden table and sat down.
The wooden table must have been made by the village chief. She had seen the village chief's grandfather display his skills back then, and almost all the furniture in his house was made by his own hands.
When she came in this time, she also saw that the village chief had brought a lot of tools, which meant that he hadn't been idle in the space for the past few months.
On the table were a meat dish, a vegetable dish, and a soup: braised crucian carp, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and crucian carp and tofu soup, all of which smelled delicious.
Soon, Aunt Qiu came over with the food, saying somewhat apologetically, "There might not be much food, so please eat as much as you like. There's also some porridge that I cooked this morning in the pot. If you're still hungry, you can have another bowl."
The porridge was originally something she and the village chief would cook for dinner, as they were getting old and didn't have much of a need for food. But they couldn't skip it, so they just cooked some plain porridge to make do.
