"I'm fine. Even though I'm pregnant, I don't need to be so careful." Ye Qing didn't see why Qi Quan was pulling her away, assuming it was because he was worried about her due to her pregnancy.
Xi Quan looked at Ye Qing and said, "It's not because of your pregnancy, but I think that if it were people from Xiaoyao Village, they would be much more restrained when they see me."
When Ye Qing heard Xi Quan say this, she realized that she seemed to have the same idea as Xi Quan. Ye Qing was also thinking that it might be the people from Xiaoyao Village who came to find Zhang Sao. Otherwise, Zhang Sao would not have acted so reluctant to go. Moreover, it seemed that the people from Xiaoyao Village had come to find Zhang Sao more than once, which was why Zhang Sao was acting this way now.
"Alright then." Although Ye Qing also wanted to go and see what was wrong, since Xi Quan was worried about her, Ye Qing felt that she shouldn't go. If she got upset by the people of Xiaoyao Village and it affected her pregnancy, that would be troublesome.
Xi Quan kissed Ye Qing and then went out. He drove out, and before he even reached the entrance of the residential area, he saw Aunt Zhang still walking out.
After all, this is a high-end community, and the community is very large. It takes a while to walk to the entrance of the community, so Xi Quan did not find this surprising. In fact, he thought it was an opportunity.
Sure enough, Xi Quan saw Yang Xiujuan looking around at the entrance. He paused for a moment, glanced at the situation outside the community, and parked the car in a less conspicuous place after leaving the community. Xi Quan stood where Yang Xiujuan couldn't see him, but he could hear her if she spoke.
Not long after they hid, Aunt Zhang came out: "Xiujuan, how many times have I told you not to come looking for me anymore? I've given you the money you wanted, what more do you want?"
“I don’t mean anything by it. You know I’m really short of money right now and I want to find a decent-paying job. I can do the job of a nanny, but I’ve asked so many families and they all refuse me. I’m out of options now. You can talk to Xi Quan and Ye Qing and ask them to let me work for them. Their house is so big, you’ll be exhausted by yourself. Besides, they have two kids now, so they must have a lot to do. More people means more help.”
“Impossible. Last time you came to their house, Ye Qing and Xi Quan didn’t let you work there. Now you want to go? How could that be possible?” Aunt Zhang immediately refused Yang Xiujuan.
"Can't I go?" Yang Xiujuan didn't seem too angry after Zhang Sao refused. She casually tapped the stones on the ground with her toes. "Then it shouldn't be a problem for me to work as a nanny at your daughter's house, right?"
Xi Quan was extremely surprised to hear this. This Aunt Zhang has a child?!
Back in Xiaoyao Village, wasn't it because she hadn't had children that her mother-in-law's family made things difficult for her? How come she suddenly has a child? And from what they said, it seems like Zhang's daughter's family is quite well-off, otherwise they wouldn't have hired a nanny.
It's important to know that even though it's already the year 2000, people with nannies at home are still a minority.
Upon hearing this, Xi Quan subconsciously moved two steps closer to where Yang Xiujuan and Zhang Sao were talking, hoping to hear them more clearly.
Hearing Yang Xiujuan's words, Aunt Zhang's eyes widened in fear: "Xiujuan, you mustn't... That child doesn't know anything. What will you do if you go now? Besides, the child didn't say anything about hiring a nanny... you..."
"You didn't hire a nanny? Weren't you the nanny for your own daughter before? Didn't you say that your daughter's adoptive parents are educated people and that your family is well-off? Since your family is financially well-off, it seems reasonable to hire a nanny."
After saying that, Yang Xiujuan made a move to leave, no longer wanting to talk to Zhang Sao.
Zhang Sao, no longer showing the impatience she initially displayed upon seeing Yang Xiujuan, quickly grabbed Yang Xiujuan's arm: "Xiujuan, we've known each other for quite some time now, can't we talk things out calmly? Aren't we discussing this? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Of course I'm anxious. I'm anxious to make money. My Qiangzi is in the hospital, and he needs money every day. What can I do if I'm not anxious? Although my Qiangzi is mentally challenged and doesn't know what's going on, I've been supporting him no matter how difficult things get. I've never thought about abandoning him. I'm not as heartless as you, who would give away your own daughter."
Yang Xiujuan's words were sarcastic, but Zhang Sao couldn't help but tremble slightly as she listened.
From Xi Quan's perspective, although Yang Xiujuan's main purpose was to threaten Zhang Sao and extort some money from her, judging from Zhang Sao's attitude, what Yang Xiujuan said should be true.
Since what Yang Xiujuan said is true, then even if it's sarcastic remarks, it's not wrong. Because if Zhang Sao really doesn't even want her own child, then in this respect, she really can't compare to Yang Xiujuan.
Thinking of this, Xi Quan suddenly remembered Ye Qing's background. She was also a child abandoned by her own mother. Just as Xi Quan was thinking about these things, he heard Aunt Zhang ask Yang Xiujuan, "How much money do you want this time?"
"My original intention was still to work as a nanny for your daughter's family..." When Yang Xiujuan heard that Aunt Zhang had softened her stance and mentioned money, she was no longer in a hurry and still insisted on working as a nanny.
Before Yang Xiujuan could finish speaking, Aunt Zhang interrupted her anxiously: "Being a nanny is a job of serving others, it's exhausting, why would you do it? How much money do you want? Just say it."
"Although it's tiring, I earn a lot of money," Yang Xiujuan said.
Xi Quan sneered. Yang Xiujuan's negotiation skills seemed quite good; she knew how to subtly increase the price without making a sound.
Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth: "Just tell me how much money you want?"
Yang Xiujuan was not a real businesswoman after all; she had no negotiation skills whatsoever, and everything she did was based on her greed.
So when she heard what Aunt Zhang said, Yang Xiujuan quickly stretched out her hand and gestured a number to Aunt Zhang.
"A thousand?" Aunt Zhang looked at Yang Xiujuan's finger and said angrily, "Why don't you just rob me? I don't have that many."
"No?" Yang Xiujuan wasn't in a hurry and continued in a casual tone, "That's okay. Like I said, I can go to your daughter. Your daughter should have money, right?"
As she spoke, Yang Xiujuan turned around again, seemingly not intending to say anything more to Zhang Sao.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang pulled Yang Xiujuan back again: "I'll give it to you, but I don't have that much money right now. You have to give me some time. I'll give it to you after Ye Qing and Xi Quan give me my wages."
Yang Xiujuan said, "Okay, give me whatever you have on hand now, and you can owe me the rest later."
She was clearly there to extort money, but Yang Xiujuan acted as if Zhang Sao owed her money.
