Seeing the snacks, Liu Linjuan said apologetically, "How did I let you spend money again?"

"It's just two packets of mung bean cakes! What's the big deal?"

"Excuse me, Sister Zhou, could you please get Aunt Fang a glass of water?"

"Hey, I'll get you some water right away!"

"No need to trouble yourself, Xiao Zhou!"

"It's alright, no trouble at all. Have a cup of hot water to warm yourself up!" Zhou Tao placed a cup of plain water directly in front of Sister Fang.

"Aunt Fang, did you find a nanny for today's visit?"

"We've found a nanny, but that's not the most important thing. There's something more important I need to tell you!" Sister Fang said.

"What's so important?" Liu Linjuan asked, puzzled.

"Then you two talk, I'll go out first?" Zhou Tao said quickly upon hearing that there was something to discuss.

"No need, Xiao Zhou, you stay too. After you find out, please keep an eye on Xiao Liu for him."

Hearing what Sister Fang said, the two became even more confused. They had to keep an eye on things, so they wondered if another enemy had appeared. They asked, "What is it?"

"It's about Zhao Meilan. I heard from Old Chen that this Zhao Meilan and..." Sister Fang then told the two of them what Minister Chen had told her.

Liu Linjuan could hardly believe it. This Zhao Meilan was not an enemy, but she never expected that she would be her love rival. What was going on?

When did a rival for my affections suddenly appear, and what a coincidence that she's a colleague from the same department?

Another question is, what kind of person is she, a young girl? Her senior brother is two years older than her, both in their early thirties, which is more than ten years older than her. In the past, he could have been her father. How could she like someone so much older?

That's just plain wrong with your thinking!

Zhou Tao couldn't believe it either. This Zhao Meilan, who looked so young, was quite cunning. She even said she wanted to get close to Lin Juan first, become familiar with her, and then make a move on Lao Li. This was terrifying.

This child is already so bad at such a young age; we'll have to keep a close eye on him in the future.

The man who likes girls today might like other married men in the future. We have to keep a close eye on him. If something happens, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the organization?

Furthermore, if you didn't know what she planned to do, you wouldn't believe she's a femme fatale! Quickly say:

"No wonder, no wonder!"

"What's so strange?" Sister Fang asked.

"To be honest, when I was at work yesterday, during my free time, this Zhao Meilan kept subtly asking me about the girls' usual preferences."

I ignored her because of what happened a few days ago, didn't I? I didn't say anything about the girl.

However, I did see her ask other nurses. You mean about this? What should we do now?

Upon hearing this, Sister Fang said, "Xiao Liu, you'd better be careful in the future! Don't let her know everything, or you'll be in trouble!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Fang is right!"

"It's alright, Aunt Fang, Sister Zhou, even if Zhao Meilan knows, it doesn't matter!"

Besides, even if Sister Zhou didn't say anything, the nurses in the hospital wouldn't know much either; she couldn't find out much information even if she racked her brains!

"But, sister, we should be prepared for the worst!"

"Sister Zhou, we've worked together for so many years, don't you know me? At work, I'm never one to talk much. Not to mention anything else, it's not so easy for Zhao Meilan to find out my preferences from the hospital."

Furthermore, since we know what she plans to do, we also have ways to deal with her.

"That's good, but remember to keep her away from the child."

"I understand, Aunt Fang! Don't even think about getting close to the child. The child is still so young, I definitely won't bring the child to the hospital. As for the house, she can forget about coming in either."

After listening to gossip for most of the day, I finally realized that it really did have something to do with my family!

The old woman who switched the children turned out to be the enemy's daughter-in-law, and this whole series of events was actually related to Zhao Meilan!

This Zhao Meilan actually has her eye on my father, whom I've never even met yet. What a damn love rival who came out of nowhere!

And then there's Zhao Meilan, who actually tried to say something like, "I'm your best friend, I didn't mean it, but we're truly in love, it's all my fault." This is practically the most classic scenario of a best friend becoming a mistress!

It's true, no matter the era, there's no shortage of people like this!

Furthermore, Zhao Meilan, for the sake of the love she loved, was willing to become her stepmother without even thinking about it.

Seriously? Who wants you?! You're just crazy!

And what about "doing whatever you wanted to do to yourself"? That's fucking awful!

Zhao Meilan is simply insane, her values ​​are completely warped. She falls for a married man and instead of nipping the problem in the bud, she tries to use roundabout tactics to sabotage her parents' relationship. She's inhuman!

You absolutely must never let yourself run into this again, or you'll be beaten so badly your own parents won't recognize you, it'll drive you crazy.

How dare they go out of their way to destroy someone else's family? Their crimes are beyond description.

Seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, Sister Fang picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and continued:

"Xiao Liu, next week, when you have any dealings with Zhao Meilan, you must be extra careful, understand?"

"Aunt Fang, I know!"

"Don't worry, Sister Fang!"

"Also, since you're working in the same department, you have to be careful in everything you do, understand? You can't let them find any fault with you, otherwise, that kind of person will definitely be the first to cause trouble!" Sister Fang said worriedly.

"We understand, so don't worry! Now that I know what kind of person he is, I know what to do," Zhou Tao said.

"Sister Zhou, what are you planning to do?" Liu Linjuan asked.

"That's easy, just play matchmaker for him and introduce him to potential partners!"

"This isn't a good idea!"

"Don't worry! I would never introduce any good young men to her."

"What do you mean?" Liu Linjuan asked, puzzled.

"You don't need to worry about that!" Zhou Tao said.

Judging from what Aunt Zhou said, it's obvious that she'll definitely introduce her to some disgusting and awful people!

If I were in her shoes, introducing her to someone would mean she'd never even considered dating someone else, let alone have her eye on someone else. If it were me, I'd not only try to introduce her to someone, but I'd also give her a good beating to vent my anger. I'd definitely put her in a sack and beat her up a few times before I could even talk about it!

"Alright, you two know what's going on with Zhao Meilan. Now let's talk about the nanny!" Sister Fang said.

"Go ahead!" Liu Linjuan quickly put the matter of Zhao Meilan out of her mind.

"Well, I'll keep it short and sweet!"

This comrade is a widow, a woman with two children. Her surname is Wu, her given name is Hui, she is 38 years old and a local. She had five children, but only one son and one daughter survived. The eldest son, 18 years old, joined the army three months ago. The daughter is 13 years old. She usually makes a living by doing sewing and mending work.

After listening, Liu Linjuan thought about it and concluded that as long as the person didn't have any other troubles, there wouldn't be any problem!

"What caused her husband's death?"

“I know that. He was beaten to death in the street by the Japanese in 1940,” Sister Fang quickly told Minister Chen what he had found out.

"These damned Japanese devils, sons of bitches!" Zhou Tao said angrily.

"Do you know the specifics?" Liu Linjuan asked.

"They said it was because they were obstructing official business!"

Do you know where she lives?

"I do know a little about that. It's the courtyard at No. 186, the third alley ahead of yours. It used to belong to her family!"

"Before?" Zhou Tao asked, puzzled.

"Not long after her husband died, her brother-in-law took over the house!"

"Oh, I see! So this comrade is a pitiful person too!"

"Who can argue with that?"

Liu Linjuan thought for a moment and said, "I know which one it is!"

"Do you know Xiao Liu?" Sister Fang asked quickly upon hearing Liu Linjuan's words.

"Aunt Fang, I wouldn't say I know anything about her family, but I do know some things about them. This family is indeed surnamed Wu. And they used to be a wealthy family. However, the man in this family is the youngest son of their patriarch, but he is not the old lady's biological son; he was born to her concubine."

Not long after the old man died, the old lady used a small house and a small grocery store with little income to settle down her youngest son and his family! "Liu Linjuan said.

"This?" Zhou Tao hadn't expected this.

"No, Xiao Liu, how do you know so much?" Sister Fang said.

"Aunt Fang, you know me well. I grew up with my senior brother. When I was little, I would come here with him and overhear people talking to my dad about who moved here today, who made a fortune and moved to where, and who got into a fight with whom.

"Back then, because I was young and very curious, when I heard about these things, I even made a special trip past their house to see what was going on!" Liu Linjuan said with a smile.

"What you said is almost right. The information that Old Chen had someone check is pretty much the same as what you said!" Sister Fang said.

"Where are they staying now?" Liu Linjuan asked, remembering to ask.

"Rent a place to live!"

"In other words, if I ask them to come and help, I have to let them move in!"

"yes"

"Do they have any other requests?"

"Food and lodging included, 50,000 yuan per month"

The price of 50,000 yuan for a nanny was shocking. Could you really afford to hire a nanny for that much?

But then I realized that this happened 51 years ago, when the first set of RMB was in use, so 50,000 yuan wasn't much!

Don't forget that this first set of RMB yuan note was equivalent to 1 yuan in the second set of RMB notes issued in 1955.

Moreover, with the current instability of prices, sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy anything good.

"That's really not expensive! Okay, no problem, I'll take her."

"Alright, since you've agreed, I'll bring some people over at 2 PM this afternoon!"

Okay, no problem.

"Then I'll be going now!"

"Sister Fang, it's almost noon. Why don't you stay for lunch before you leave?"

"No need, I'll go tell her right away, and then bring the people over after lunch!"

"Alright! Then I'll trouble Sister Zhou to see Aunt Fang off for me!" Liu Linjuan said.

Zhou Tao returned quickly, looking at Liu Linjuan with a hesitant expression, which only made Liu Linjuan laugh. She directly asked, "Sister Zhou, just say what you want to say. We're practically family."

"Okay, then I'll share my thoughts, and you can see if they're alright!"

"Sister Zhou, just say it!"

"I'll take the child and go back once this person arrives!"
