Chapter 337 Hu Meili: Control

"That's not a very thoughtful thing..." Lin Xiangnan said hesitantly, "I hope the child won't become stupid."

"You're going to make your child stupid?" Hu Meili sneered and said confidently, "It won't take another two years. Right now, Dabao and Xiaobao are smarter than your aunt Jiu. You two are as smart as honeycomb coals. Are you afraid that you can't teach your child well?"

There is no naive person in the family. When it comes to children, even Hu Meili is very thoughtful and said, "In our family, if we take a smart child to Beijing, he will probably run away soon. There are many opportunities in big cities. If you want to keep him for a long time, you have to hire an honest person."

After Hu Meili plans to go to Beijing, she will start her own small business. This is definitely a business that will make money 100%, and the technical content is not very high. If the aunt at home sees it and starts thinking about making money, she will not be able to stay at home for long.

When you hire someone to take care of your child, you hope that the other person can do the job for a long time. If you replace the person after half a year or a year, the child will be too lazy to adapt.

"If you think your ninth aunt is not capable, I will ask around later." Hu Meili said casually.

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Xiangnan and his family could not stay in their hometown for a few days before they had to return to Beijing. Lin Xiangnan had to go back to the research institute to continue working, so there was not much time left for Hu Meili.

But Hu Meili has a wide circle of contacts. She went to the entertainment rooms of steel mills and pharmaceutical factories and played mahjong with a group of retired ladies, and gained a lot of information.

"Haven't you been taking care of your Xiaonan's two children? They've grown up so big, why did you suddenly think of looking for someone outside? Er Tiao, wait, let me touch you!"

Hu Meili took a handful of cards and complained, "I wasn't the only one taking care of the children before. The sixth child of the Gu family also helped. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to handle the two children. Now that the sixth child has gone to school, Xiaonan wants to hire someone else to help with the work, as he's worried that I'll be too tired."

"All the children in the family have become successful. You have finally gotten your reward after all the hardships you have endured. Those days were so hard."

The treatment offered by Hu Meili was not bad, with a monthly salary of 15 yuan, but food and accommodation were provided, so the salary could be saved. When Lin Xiangxi first started working at the restaurant, he could not save 15 yuan a month. Moreover, as the working time increased, the salary would increase according to the market price every year.

There are quite a lot of unemployed young people nowadays. After Hu Meili said this, someone recommended their own children.

"It's not good to be too young. All the people living in the house are young people. It's not very convenient."

Especially since Lin Xiangnan and Gu Zhenhua are both young, beautiful and have high salaries, it is very easy for something to go wrong if young men and women join in.

Hu Meili has no confidence in her child's ability to concentrate in this regard.

Too young is not good, too old is not good either. Married people are a burden, either they have to take care of children or grandchildren, and they can't spare the time. Divorced people are too active, and Hu Meili is afraid of people causing trouble...

Hu Meili went through so many rounds with Lin Xiangnan, but still couldn't find a suitable one before the New Year. Even if Lin Xiangnan thought the one was okay, Hu Meili would find a lot of faults.

"Mom, how come you put more care into choosing a nanny than you did when you chose a man for me?" Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but sigh.

Hu Meili was not convinced, "Nonsense. When I chose a man for you, I also chose him carefully."

"That's not right. I think someone is ugly, but you compliment him on his good looks. I think someone has a bad temper, but you say he is simple-minded and honest..."

"You should just talk about the matter at hand. Why are you bringing up the past?" Hu Meili glared at her. "You are so outspoken. Don't mention these things, lest Zhenhua hears them. It's New Year's Day and he will be upset."

After hearing what Hu Meili said, Lin Xiangnan didn't want to argue with her any more. He pouted angrily and went to find Gu Zhenhua for comfort.

This year during the Chinese New Year, even Hu Meili was willing to spend money, so the family was particularly lively and the whole family was smiling.

The only ones who were not laughing were Dabao and Xiaobao, because before the New Year they played with small firecrackers with some older kids on the street and got their hands blackened by the explosions.

During the Chinese New Year, they lost the right to spend money.

"Brother Erpang is not playing with me for real. He is just pretending to play with me. He won't play with me if I don't have money." Dabao complained to Lin Xiangnan very loudly.

"Then find someone else to play with next time." Lin Xiangnan gave him advice.

Xiao Bao was unhappy now, "Let's go find Brother Erpang, he'll really stand in front of me if something happens."

After returning to their hometown, Dabao and Xiaobao were the ones who came up with the idea for several bad things. After the incident, they were both on the verge of being beaten, but it was Erpang who took the responsibility and pulled them back to safety.

Even if he had no money, Xiaobao was happy to take two candies from home to treat Erpang.

After all, my mother once said that it is immoral to want a donkey to grind a mill without giving it grass to eat. Learning how to spend money is also an important compulsory course in life!

Xiaobao really learned this.

Dabao complained to Lin Xiangnan that he just wanted some pocket money. Life was really hard without money.

But Lin Xiangnan didn't understand the hidden meaning. After listening to Xiaobao's words, she said, "Oh, you still want to play with Erpang, then play with him. Mommy won't interfere in children's affairs."

"Oops~"

Dabao looked pitiful and wanted to say something else, but Lin Xiangnan pushed him off his knees, "You two go play by yourselves. We have guests at home."

"They are not my mother's guests, but my grandmother's guests."

"Then I want to go and see it too." Lin Xiangnan stood up, holding a child in each hand, lifted them up, and then put them straight on the ground, "You two stand still."

The one who came to see Hu Meili today was Aunt Jiu. When she heard that Hu Meili wanted someone to help look after the children and do housework, she volunteered to come.

"I really couldn't live with that family anymore. My stepchildren were all ruthless. They ate meat on New Year's Day and I fainted from hunger. I was sent to the hospital and the doctor said I was malnourished... Sister Hu, please just help me. I don't need any salary, as long as I can have something to eat..."

Hu Meili was moved by what she heard, but she didn't agree to it outright. She just comforted him, "I understand what you mean. I'll discuss it with my family later. You can go back today, and I'll let you know in a few days."

Lin Xiangnan listened at the side without interrupting. After the people left, he couldn't help but ask, "Mom, didn't you say you wanted to find her before the New Year? Haven't you discussed it with her yet? We're almost leaving."

She was not as popular as Hu Meili in her hometown, so Lin Xiangnan gave full authority to Hu Meili on the matter of finding her aunt, and she only expressed her opinions occasionally.

"Why are you panicking? When I really can't find her, I'll go look for her again. She will definitely agree." Hu Meili acted like a scumbag who had the person under her control.
