Chapter 195 Get out!

In the blink of an eye, he left the house and walked out into the yard.

The mother and daughter were both stunned.

Li's mother was speechless. "What kind of person is this? Who goes to work at someone else's house with their daughter and daughter-in-law? This is outrageous. If she had said this earlier, I wouldn't have let you make this wasted trip."

The woman returned after leaving, and upon hearing Li's mother's words, she snorted coldly.

"There are plenty of people who want me to take care of their children. If you hadn't pleaded with that deadbeat, I wouldn't have bothered to make this trip."

She held out her hand, looking impatiently at Li's mother and Li Banxia, ​​"Trial fee: twenty."

Li's mother laughed in exasperation.

"You used my pots and pans, my meat and vegetables, and you still charge me twenty for what you made?"

"Twenty is too few."

The woman sneered, "People who don't have connections hire me for a trial period, and I charge at least fifty! Hurry up and pay me, don't delay me from going to the next place."

She gestured for money, then said disdainfully, "Stop dawdling. Why hire a nanny if you can't afford it? Just trying to look rich when you can't afford it..."

He looked at the mother and daughter with disdain.

It made Li's mother angry.

"Xiaxia, give her the money. Later, have your dad ask her husband. He's been praising his wife to the skies, but she's acting like this ever since she arrived. Who would dare hire her?!"

Li Banxia frowned, glanced at the woman a few times, and then took out some money and handed it over.

The woman grabbed the money, spat at Li's mother, and turned to leave with the money in her hand.

That was practically spitting on Li's mother!

Li's mother stepped back, her face turning pale with anger.

Li Banxia held onto the money tightly.

She said, "Even if a deal falls through, we can still be friendly. Putting aside the years of friendship between your husband and my dad, is this how you usually treat your customers?"

"What's wrong? I agree to whatever other family says! But your family is so fussy. It's just a matter of adding two more pairs of chopsticks, as if I'm taking advantage of you. I didn't even look down on your family for being poor, but you look down on me, my daughter, and my wife. And you still have the nerve to say you're close to my husband? Is this what you call close? Bah!"

Enraged, the woman spat at Li Banxia. Li Banxia frowned, turned to the side, and the spittle landed on the table leg, running down its length.

It disgusted her.

What kind of person is this?!

Li Banxia stared at the woman for a moment, then used a clever trick to snatch the money back with a flick of her wrist. She told her, "We did a trial period, and the trial period fee is what it should be. But I can't give you this money. Let your man ask for it. Ask my dad. They are the direct contact person. I really can't talk to you about it."

"You dare to renege? If you don't pay, I'll tear your house down..."

The woman's face changed drastically, and she raised her voice, trying to cause trouble. Li's mother grabbed an old-fashioned candlestick from the table and slammed it against the door frame behind her with a loud bang.

The candlestick tip pierced straight in.

"Who dares to act so arrogantly in front of me, Feng Erniang? Get lost!"

The woman turned pale with fright and took two steps back before daring to angrily complain, "That bastard even said he found a good family, what a load of rubbish! You just wait, this isn't over yet."

After speaking, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to vomit at the mother and daughter.

Seeing the cold looks in Li Banxia's and her mother's eyes, he swallowed his anger and left, grumbling.

Li's mother was furious and berated Li's father, "What kind of person did you hire? Is he here to serve others or to act like a lord?"

"Mom, Dad probably doesn't know that people are like this. You saw when we were doing our trial work just now, she seemed perfectly normal. It was only because we didn't agree to her conditions that she got angry."

Li Banxia comforted her mother, "I'll go to the maternity hospital later and ask around to see if there are any retired nurses willing to take on this job. The nurses there are very good at taking care of babies."

Li's mother sighed.

"Let your dad look again. If it really doesn't work, I'll lend a hand. I've learned a lot from your dad over the years."

Li Banxia chuckled and shook her head, saying, "It's one thing that I can't be by your and Dad's side to fulfill my filial duties, but how can I expect you to come and serve your granddaughter-in-law?"

"What you're saying is just being stubborn and suffering for the sake of saving face. You have to go to work and take care of the new mother at the same time. How can you manage? Besides, you can't be careless when you have twins. When you had your first and second children, you gave birth before you were even nine months pregnant..."

Li's mother still felt lingering fear when she thought about what happened back then. "Your father and I were so scared. During the days leading up to your delivery, neither of us slept a full night. Your father practiced with his needles all day long, and he personally prepared a whole cabinet full of herbs for you to use in the hemostatic decoctions. Just in case, we didn't dare to say a word, afraid that people would find out we had herbs and come asking for them, and that if we gave them the herbs, we wouldn't have any left for you..."

After finishing her sentence, Li's mother sighed deeply, looked at the white hair at her daughter's temples, and touched it.

"In the blink of an eye, our Xiaxia has grown up so much that we have to worry about our daughter-in-law giving birth."

Li Banxia's throat bobbed. Thinking of the dangers of giving birth to twins, her eyes welled up with tears. She forced a bright smile, "Mom, it's better to be safe than sorry. Have Dad prepare these medicinal herbs for Yao Yao too. It's better to be safe than sorry. That child, like me, was pampered and spoiled at her parents' home. She could have married into a better family. Marrying the eldest son is considered a step down. I don't want to wrong the child..."

Li Banxia didn't look down on her sons; her eldest and second sons were indeed good-looking.

But he's just a poor teacher, earning only a meager monthly salary, probably not even enough for his eldest daughter-in-law's brother to treat them to a meal.

Don't the two children want to take the postgraduate entrance exam?

Test.

After Yao Yao gives birth and recovers well, we'll let them take the exam.

People strive for higher goals, as this opens up more options for survival. Children can see further and go further by standing on their parents' shoulders.

"It's ready."

Li's mother said, "Your father, your second brother, and your third brother were all keeping track of the time. They were originally planning to have your second brother deliver it to you in a couple of days."

"Thank you, Mom."

Li Banxia embraced her mother and gently swayed her.

Li's mother's eyes were full of smiles as she patted the hand that was around her shoulder.

"Mom, I'm going to talk to my second and third brothers for a while, so I won't be having dinner at home. I have to rush back."

Li's mother nodded, "Go ahead, go ahead."

After being transferred back from Shanghai, Li Sange stayed in the hospital for more than a month but couldn't stay any longer. He asked the doctor several times if he could go home to recuperate.

The doctor gave him a full body check-up and, seeing that he was recovering well, nodded and agreed to let him go home.

From now on, I only need to go to the hospital twice a month for a follow-up examination.

Li Sange didn't want to live with Li's mother and father, so he moved back to his own home.

Li Erge would go over to keep him company every day and then take him to the medicinal herb field.

Li Sange is a smart aleck, and Li Erge can't argue with him, so he threatens him with his fists. But he can't hit his younger brother, so things around him are easily harmed.

The two brothers put on a chaotic show every day.

Li's mother rolled her eyes whenever she mentioned the two brothers. It was one thing for them to be naughty when they were young, but now that they're almost a hundred years old combined, they're still being naughty.

"Oh, right..."

Li's mother suddenly remembered, "Your eldest brother called a few days ago, wanting your second and third brothers to discuss his two children's situation. He wants the two children to be adopted by either your eldest or second brother, nominally separating them from their biological mother, Zhou Xiaolian, so they can take the military academy entrance exam next year. He can also try to find his old superiors; it shouldn't be a big problem, but..."
