They really are a perfect couple; they think alike.
Jiang Ci took out the twenty yuan that Huang Zheyue had given her from her pocket. "We can help him save the money he owes. Huang Zheyue has a good business sense. We can mentor him and give him this money in a few years so he can try running a small business. Maybe it will help him live a better life in the future."
It was not in vain that Huang Zhiyuan pleaded in his letter after his death.
Zhou Mingli nodded, "If we're busy in the future, Huang Zheyue can also help look after Yangyang and Miaomiao at home."
This means Huang Zheyue will have to stay at their house.
Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli both thought of this.
Jiang Ci said, "Let's bring Miaomiao over to sleep with us in a little while."
“During my break, I’ll go to the furniture factory again and get some more wood planks,” Zhou Mingli said. “I’ll make a small bunk bed for Miaomiao.”
Although Zhou Miao is not yet four years old, with Huang Zheyue moving in, it's not appropriate for a little girl like Zhou Miao to be squeezed together with a big boy.
Moreover, the bed in the room where Zhou Miao and Zhou Yang slept wasn't very big, so it was a bit too small for Huang Zheyue to lie down in.
After listening to her brother Zheyue's story, Zhou Miao was quite happy to hear that she would be sleeping with her parents.
The little girl happily hugged Jiang Ci's neck, "Can I sleep with Mommy tonight?"
Jiang Ci kissed her fair and tender little face, "Okay."
Zhou Miao's eyes sparkled, and she radiated joy. "That's wonderful!"
Zhou Yang said, "Miao Miao is such a little kid, she even wants to sleep with her mother."
Zhou Yang, who has an older brother but no mother, grabbed Huang Zheyue's hand and said, "Brother Zheyue, let's go. I'll give you my bed!"
Huang Zheyue glanced at Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci held Zhou Miao in her arms and said to him, "Would you be willing to help me take care of my two children?"
Huang Zheyue: "Huh?"
"We'll provide room and board, and we'll give you five yuan a month to offset the medical expenses you owe us."
Huang Zheyue's eyes widened in surprise.
"Are you...are you serious?"
Jiang Ci raised an eyebrow. "You think you're at a disadvantage?"
How is this possible?!
He was offered food and lodging, plus five yuan, which, although used to offset medical expenses, still made him a sure-fire winner!
But Huang Zheyue still felt it was all unreal, and looked up at Jiang Ci, "You really want me?"
“You should know that I have a job now, and Yangyang’s dad sometimes comes home late because of things. Miaomiao and Yangyang are about to have their holidays, and we don’t have time to take care of them.”
Since you're going to rent out the house and have nowhere to live, and you can't go back to school to continue your studies for the time being, why don't you help us take care of a child?
After a moment's thought, Huang Zheyue nodded decisively, "Okay."
"I don't need your money. Food and lodging are enough. I'll give you the money from renting out the house to cover the medical expenses!"
Jiang Ci: "..."
She really didn't intend to hire child laborers.
Room and board are provided free of charge, but the salary is shockingly low.
But Huang Zheyue still acted as if she had gotten a great deal, and Jiang Ci remained silent.
Humph.
This time, let Huang Zheyue experience what it's like to be exploited by capitalism.
She nodded, agreeing with Huang Zheyue's words.
So Huang Zheyue settled down there.
Of course, Jiang Ci still made some demands on Huang Zheyue, such as not allowing him to take the two children out of the street area, and even more so, not allowing him to take the children out to play and not stay at home.
He also told Huang Zheyue where the food was kept at home. He had lived with his father since he was a child, so he naturally knew how to cook. If they didn't come back for lunch, Huang Zheyue could cook lunch for them.
Because Zhou Yang and Zhou Miao are about to have their holidays, Jiang Ci will give them five cents a day so they can go out and buy things.
Huang Zheyue wrote them all down.
Huang Zheyue asked, "What if I want to take them to the Forbidden City?"
Jiang Ci smiled faintly, "Take it with you for a day first, then we'll talk."
Huang Zheyue thought to herself, what could be so difficult about taking care of a child?
later.
Huang Zheyue, who is young but already has the air of a father, is exhausted by the boundless energy of his three- or four-year-old child.
...
Zheng Xiao suffered a great loss at Jiang Ci's hands. He even got caught arguing with Jiang Ci by the minister. Within two days, his father came back and gave Zheng Xiao a beating with his belt.
"We put you in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so you could learn how people there conduct themselves! And you, instead of learning properly, dare to bully people using your father's name! You're asking for trouble, aren't you?!"
Zheng Xiao's mother and grandmother both tried to stop Zheng Xiao's father.
Father Zheng's eyes widened, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage and anger, "Get out of my way! Do you know how much trouble this kid has caused?!"
"When the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs spoke to me yesterday, he subtly and overtly told me to take this bastard away! He said he wasn't doing his job properly at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs! Not only does he bully people, but he also got caught by the Minister of Foreign Affairs! He's made me lose all face!"
"Who bullied anyone! I didn't bully anyone at all! I didn't bully her either!" Zheng Xiao shouted as he dodged. "I just said a few words, I didn't do anything!"
"You think you're right to bully others!" Father Zheng was even angrier and failed to catch Zheng Xiao.
Zheng Xiao's grandmother grabbed Zheng's father, saying, "If you dare to hit my grandson even once today, I'll kill myself!"
"Besides playing the hero at home, what else can you do?! My grandson is the treasure of the Zheng family! If you dare touch him, I'll kill myself!"
There was nothing Zheng's father could do about his own mother; he could only watch helplessly as Zheng Xiao ran away.
After calming down, Zheng Xiao, who had run out of the house, was trembling with anger.
That damned Vice Minister Liu, that damned Jiang Ci.
