Yuan Jie, pregnant with her second child, fell into a coma after an accident. While her beloved Sun Aimin did everything to save her life, she entered a long and strange dream. In the dream, her fa...

Chapter 288 What’s wrong with me ordering them around?

Everyone in the room chatted for a while, and then Qian Jinling arranged for the nanny to buy some groceries and prepare a more sumptuous dinner.

Afterwards, she called Xu Jinfeng again to let him know that her family was coming over, so that Xu Jinfeng wouldn't be upset when he came back in the evening. The house had several guest rooms, so there was no problem arranging accommodation for them.

While the two nannies were busy buying groceries and cooking, Qian Jinling took her family to see the rooms, found new sheets and quilts for them, and asked them to clean up the room themselves.

Although these empty rooms are rarely occupied, the nanny cleans them every day, so they are all very clean. You just need to make the bed and put your luggage away.

Xu Jinfeng loves Qian Jinling and her family, and because of his love for her, he is also more tolerant of Qian's family. Otherwise, if Qian Jinling often sends money to her parents' home, Xu Jinfeng would not turn a blind eye.

When he heard that someone from her parents' home was coming, Xu Jinfeng wanted to save face for Qian Jinling, so when he returned home in the evening, he specially bought two packs of brand-name cigarettes, a few pounds of prawns that were difficult for rural people to eat, and also bought some cooked food.

After returning home, he greeted the Qian family enthusiastically: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Xiaoling heard that you were coming over, so I bought some food and added two dishes to dinner. Everyone should eat more later."

He handed the two packs of cigarettes to Old Man Qian and said, "Dad, you and your older brother both smoke, so this is for you two..."

Old Man Qian and Qian Jincai were both long-time smokers. In the past, Old Man Qian had smoked his own tobacco, rolled with cigarette paper, while Qian Jincai had smoked cigarettes that cost three or five yuan a pack. However, he had also heard about the high-priced cigarettes when he went to buy them.

Looking at the two packs of cigarettes Xu Jinfeng handed over, Qian Jincai's eyes lit up. Those cigarettes were 20 yuan a pack in the store, but this one was 200 yuan. This brother-in-law was much more generous and sensible than his sister.

He took the cigarette from Old Man Qian and looked at the box carefully, grinning from ear to ear: "Thanks, brother-in-law, I've never smoked such good cigarettes!"

Qian Jinling hated her brother's sleazy behavior and immediately pulled Xu Jinfeng upstairs to change clothes. She felt ashamed to let Xu Jinfeng spend any more time with her family. Her family was simply too shameful.

However, compared to her natal family, her husband's family is no less impressive. I wonder if Xu Jinfeng had the same feeling when he took Qian Jinling back to his hometown.

If possible, Qian Jinling would rather cut off contact with both her natal family and her husband's family, as neither side would be worry-free.

When dinner was served in the evening, the Qian family didn't treat me as an outsider at all. They ate voraciously, eating from their bowls while keeping an eye on what was on their plates.

That pot of prawns became a hot commodity, and everyone had a mountain of prawn shells peeled in front of them.

When eating shrimp, a lot of soup was left on their hands. They rubbed their hands in an ungentlemanly manner, or wiped them directly on their clothes. Qian Jinling felt very upset when she saw this, so she handed them tissues one by one.

Xu Jinfeng didn't feel much and chatted with them casually as if nothing had happened.

"Dad, Mom, how are you feeling now? Let Xiaoling take you to the hospital for a thorough checkup in the next few days. If you have any minor ailments, get them treated!"

"Big brother and Xiaobin came here together this time. Are they here just to accompany our parents, or are they looking for some kind of job?"

"Is Xiaojuan's school on vacation now? Your two sisters won't be on vacation for another two weeks! Then you sisters will have company..."

Xu Jinfeng took care of everyone and showed concern for everyone. While talking, he used public chopsticks to pick up food for several people and told them not to be polite and eat more.

Seeing Xu Jinfeng's enthusiasm, the Qian family put aside their worries, completely relaxed their appetites, and ate with great joy.

However, the Qian family has not yet told him that they have decided not to return to their hometown after this visit, for fear that Xu Jinfeng will be angry and refuse.

In the eyes of the Qian family, Qian Jinling's home is good, but the entire family's finances are supported by Xu Jinfeng. Qian Jinling is just a rich lady who depends on others for support. No matter how rich she is, it is just a matter of money. Therefore, they dare not act rashly in front of Xu Jinfeng.

After eating and drinking, Xu Jinfeng went upstairs to take a shower and prepare to rest. After letting the Qian family relax, he returned to his room.

The Qian family sat in the living room on the first floor, watching TV and eating nuts. Old man Qian and old lady Qian lay down on the wide, long and soft sofa.

At this time, Old Mrs. Qian had the aura of a landlord's wife. When facing Xu Jinfeng, she knew how to restrain herself. When facing Qian Jinling, she implicitly asked her to take on the responsibility of supporting her eldest brother's family of three.

When facing the two nannies, Mrs. Qian was even more outraged. She imagined the appearance of the rich landlords on TV, and asked the nanny to serve her tea and water, then asked the nanny to peel melon seeds for her, and then asked the servants to massage her shoulders and back.

Qian Jinling couldn't stand it anymore and scolded Old Lady Qian, "Mom, that's enough. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were a landlord's wife from the old society!"

Old Madam Qian was not convinced and said, "What's wrong with me ordering them around? You're not not paying them. Isn't that what they do as maids?"

Qian Jinling rolled her eyes at her mother and said, "It's a different era now, and you're still calling her a nanny. She's a nanny, responsible for washing clothes, cooking, and cleaning. Her wages don't include the services you're asking for."

If you want to do this, that's fine, but I have to give him a raise, an extra 300 yuan a month. If you think it's worth it, then do it!"

"What? Three hundred? Three hundred yuan for such a small job? Don't bluff me. There are also women in the village who go to the city to work as nannies. They only earn three or four hundred yuan a month by doing all kinds of work..." said Old Mrs. Qian.
