Seeing the people they never wanted to see again, the elderly Chang couple sat silently on the way back, their hearts heavy with unspoken thoughts.
Chang Guofu was not their biological child; he was the only child of Old Man Chang's deceased younger sister.
It's a long story. The older generation doted on their daughter and sent Chang Xiaomei to a modern girls' school.
One day, news suddenly came from the school that Chang Xiaomei had eloped with a man.
A fallen nobleman's son, already married with three wives and four concubines, was idle and did not do any proper work.
A few years later, Chang Xiaomei sent a letter home after giving birth to her son. In the letter, she wrote with great emotion, accusing the man of being heartless and cold-blooded, and pleading with her parents to allow her to bring her unmarried, pregnant son home.
The older generation was heartbroken and took Old Man Chang by train overnight to get there.
Then a series of tragedies occurred, resulting in deaths. Only Old Man Chang, who survived the ordeal, and his infant sister remained. Fortunately, China was liberated, and Old Man Chang eventually returned safely to his hometown with his sister's unborn child, which he then adopted.
Upon returning home, Old Man Chang immediately went into his room and took out a small box from the wardrobe.
He opened the small box, took out a family photo of his younger sister and her family of three, and was very puzzled.
Logically speaking, that person should be completely dead and shouldn't still be alive in this world. They must have misjudged him!
"Okay, okay... a new nanny, right? I'll have your dad come out and take a look!"
Granny Chang was slow on her feet. When she reached the door of the room, Chen Zhaodi stopped her and told her about the new nanny.
Granny Chang pushed open the door and entered. Old Man Chang, who was immersed in his memories of the past, hurriedly put the photos into a small box.
Chen Zhaodi peeked through the slightly ajar door. What's that? Why all the secrecy?
Could it be the money my in-laws saved for their funeral?
Chen Zhaodi became more cautious and decided to keep a close eye on her in-laws' behavior to prevent the money from benefiting other family members.
Inside the room, Granny Chang was startled to see Old Man Chang take out the long-lost little box.
"What are you going to do with this? Didn't we say that Guofu will always be our own child!"
Old Man Chang glared at her fiercely: "The walls have ears!"
Granny Chang quickly covered her mouth and looked out the window. Chen Zhaodi was already at the kitchen door, but she couldn't hear her from that distance.
Old Man Chang finally looked pleased and repeatedly instructed, "From today onwards, let's not mention this matter again. Let's take it to our graves. After we're gone, this matter will be over."
Granny Chang nodded.
The elderly couple didn't have much time to worry, as the new nanny quickly overwhelmed them.
On the first day that Chen Biandan's second daughter, Chen Lijuan, came to the Chang family's house, she ate up all of the Chang family's three days' worth of food.
Granny Chang asked worriedly, "Child, are you alright?"
Old Man Chang stood beside him, holding his fishing rod, equally terrified.
He had planned to go fishing, but Granny Chang stopped him, saying with great concern that the new nanny had eaten up three days' worth of food for the Chang family in just one day. He was so frightened that he lost all interest in fishing.
Chen Lijuan licked her lips: "Grandpa and Grandma, I'm only a little full, I'm fine!"
The elderly couple from the Chang family: "..."
You're okay, but we're in trouble!
Unable to wait until Chen Zhaodi returned from the shop that evening to settle accounts with her, Old Man Chang stopped fishing and went straight to the shop to confront her.
Chen Zhaodi was completely bewildered after hearing this, and after stammering for a long time, she still couldn't give a satisfactory answer.
The shop was busy, so Old Man Chang could only sulk and go back home.
As soon as I walked into Shuangdong Hutong, I saw Granny Chang standing anxiously at the gate.
Granny Chang hurriedly went to her side: "She's hungry again, so I cooked the last three pounds of noodles we had for her. She said it was okay after she finished eating! If there were more, she could have kept eating!"
Old Chang patted his chest, feeling that his life was in danger.
"How can she keep eating like this? She's going to eat the sky off the ground!"
Granny Chang looked troubled: "What should I do? She just stares at you with her eyes and doesn't say anything, but you can tell she wants to eat. I can't bring myself to do it! Maybe I should stay away from her from now on, and you can shield her for me!"
Old Man Chang shook his head like a rattle-drum and groaned, "How much worse am I than you? I can't stop her!"
Grandma Chang, confused, came up with a terrible idea: "Why don't we just feed her? She's pitiful, she's never full. We can go out and do odd jobs to supplement our income!"
Zhou Hongyu returned from her parents' home to deliver vegetables, and upon hearing this, she was speechless.
Old Man Chang was furious: "What kind of logic is this? The employer goes out to do odd jobs just to feed the nanny! Tonight, have Chen Zhaodi send her back!"
"Cough cough cough..."
"Dad, Mom! I've come back from my parents' house to bring you some vegetables!"
Zhou Hongyu couldn't help but speak up to remind her of her presence.
Since making an excuse to move back to her parents' home, Zhou Hongyu has been planning to stay there permanently. She usually lives in her new home and visits relatives in Shuangdong Hutong whenever she has free time.
As a result, the village had a bumper harvest of vegetables, and the villagers delivered a lot to each household. Thanks to her mother, Zhou Hongyu instantly got a certain amount of vegetables.
So today she left work early and came back specifically to deliver the vegetables.
Chen Zhaodi is the kind of person who always considers it a great deal and will be extremely grateful. She is such a considerate boss to her employees!
With a whoosh, a dark figure flew out from behind the door and took a large bag of vegetables from Zhou Hongyu's hands.
Although Chen Lijuan's name sounds delicate, she is actually dark-skinned and thin, and has a huge appetite!
Chen Lijuan flashed her two rows of bright white teeth: "I'll take the vegetables back first!"
After saying that, she left.
The elderly Chang couple stared at each other in silence. She had been there the whole time? Then why hadn't she said a word?
Zhou Hongyu crossed her arms and smiled slightly. Only a fool would speak up. Given the kind nature of the old couple, they could get a full meal as long as they shamelessly stayed.
Wow, the Chang family always seems to run into clever people—
Zhou Hongyu dusted off her clothes and prepared to leave. She wasn't going to get involved in this mess; let the old couple leave them to suffer.
Old Man Chang turned to Zhou Hongyu, his eyes shining: "Xingwang's wife, you're their nemesis, can you give me some advice?"
Granny Chang nodded.
Zhou Hongyu smiled and said, "I have something to do. I'm going to the shop!"
Watching her leave, the elderly couple of the Chang family sighed deeply. Would anyone take over this huge problem?
"Dad, Mom!" Chang Lanhua ran out from the corner of the wall, looking worriedly in the direction Zhou Hongyu had left.
"Has Zhou Hongyu gone far away?"
They've gone far away!
Chang Lanhua breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. Zhou Hongyu was her nemesis; with Zhou Hongyu around, nine times out of ten, nothing could be accomplished.
"Lanhua, why are you back? Your father and I are in good health, don't worry. Your daughter-in-law is pregnant, so you should stay home and keep an eye on her more often."
Grandma Chang was overjoyed to see her daughters. That day, she only caught a glimpse of the two sisters at the hospital before the inspectors blocked her door and made trouble for her. Afterwards, she couldn't find the two sisters anywhere.
Chang Lanhua grinned, her pregnant daughter-in-law was a female demon from hell, tormenting people to the point of death!
"Mom, where's the housekeeper? Can I borrow her to take home for a while?"
