"Hey, Xiaoyun—"
Qin Xiang'e wanted to call Ye Yun back, but Ye Yun had already carried Chu Qi into the room.
The door closed in front of them, and Qin Zheng slowly got up, giving Qin Xiang'e a meaningful look.
Qin Xiang'e was startled.
He quickly explained, "Zhengzi, I was just worried about your wife's health..."
...
Upstairs, Ye Yun locked the door as soon as she entered the room.
She carried the crying little one to bed, took off her coat, and wrapped the little one in her arms with the coat, which was covered in her scent, making the little one feel safe and secure. She gently patted the little one's back and soothed her softly.
The little one gradually stopped crying.
Facing Ye Yun, the coat, which was also covered in Ye Yun's scent, enveloped her, giving her the greatest sense of security.
The nanny knocked on the door.
"Girl? Are you in there? I think I heard Xiao Chuqi crying."
"I was just washing Xiao Chuqi's clothes in the back, and I asked Brother Qin Zheng to watch over her for a while. Is everything alright? Can I go in and check on the child?"
"No!"
Ye Yun called out towards the door.
Afraid of startling the little girl in her arms, she didn't speak loudly, so the older woman outside didn't hear her and continued knocking on the door.
Ye Yun sighed helplessly.
Little Chuqi nestled in her arms, sobbing pitifully. She clearly couldn't be separated from her, so Ye Yun had no choice but to hold her in her arms and get out of bed to open the door for the nanny.
The closer you get to the door, the more sounds you can hear coming from downstairs.
If you're outside and can't hear clearly what's happening inside a room, you can hear the sounds outside much more clearly from inside the room.
Soon the nanny entered the room.
Noticing Ye Yun's unusual expression, the nanny locked the door as soon as she entered the room.
"Hey girl, what's wrong?" The older sister rubbed her hands together, intending to hug Xiao Chuqi.
Ye Yun dodged to the side.
The nanny noticed her resistance, smiled quickly, and rubbed her hands together, saying, "That's right, I was just washing clothes, my hands are cold, so I won't touch the child yet."
Ye Yun hummed in agreement.
Her older sister urged her to go back to her room, saying, "Go back to bed and rest. Standing for too long is bad for your back."
Ye Yun knew this, of course.
She is well aware of many things and knows what she can and cannot do.
However, there's no reason why you shouldn't do something at all just because it's best not to do it. Besides, the other person is her daughter, whom she risked her life to give birth to. If her daughter cries, what's wrong with her hugging her?
Does the fact that the baby in the womb should lead to neglecting the baby born, showing favoritism?
Finally, she really disliked others making decisions for her.
Ye Yun returned to bed, leaned against the headboard, and held Xiao Chuqi in her arms, gently patting the little one's back to comfort her and let her know that she was there for her.
The nanny was very perceptive and went to prepare the formula.
"This can of formula is almost finished. I need to tell Qin Zheng later that this brand of formula is pretty good. Compared to the last brand, Xiao Chuqi likes this one more. She's visibly gained weight from drinking this formula lately. I'll ask him to find someone to buy more this time." The older sister said to Ye Yun with a smile as she prepared the formula.
Xiao Chuqi is very picky about formula.
At that time, milk powder had just been introduced to China, and there were not many milk powder factories in the country, so Qin Zheng had to ask people to buy it from abroad.
The older sister prepared the milk powder and handed it to Ye Yun with a smile.
When the pacifier was brought to Xiao Chuqi's lips and she smelled the milk powder, she opened her mouth and took the pacifier in her mouth, sucking on it in small sips.
The older sister said happily, "It has to be your own mother. Look, you can comfort her and she stops crying."
Ye Yun smiled faintly.
The eldest sister sat down by the bed and watched Ye Yun feed Xiao Chuqi with a bottle. Her eyes darted around before she finally asked in a low voice, "Little sister, did you have a fight with Sister Xiang'e?"
Um?
Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and glanced at the nanny indifferently.
The older sister gave an awkward smile. "When I rushed over from behind, I heard Sister Xiang'e and Brother Qin Zheng arguing. Sister Xiang'e said that she had no other intentions and that she was only thinking about your health. She also said that she wanted to go back to the countryside."
Ye Yun: "..."
The nanny was unaware of the cause of the incident, so she simply recounted what had just happened.
The eldest sister sighed deeply after hearing this.
"You know, Sister Xiang'e is really something. She said she wouldn't let you hold her, and she really won't let you hold her at all. The baby is crying, and as a mother, I'm sure it's not a good feeling. Why don't you think of a way to let you hold her without getting tired?"
"You can lie down on the sofa or sit in the dining chair without having to use your waist at all."
“Xiao Chuqi is such a well-behaved child, she definitely won’t cause any trouble, there are always ways to deal with her, so why does she have to try to take your child away from you?”
Who can argue with that?
However, Qin Xiang'e's statement that she wanted to return to the countryside made Ye Yun laugh in exasperation.
Actually, she had overheard Qin Xiang'e's words when she opened the door for the nanny. As the nanny said, Qin Xiang'e told Qin Zheng that she was going back to her hometown.
Qin Xiang'e's original words were as follows:
"Anyway, there are two nannies in this house, so there's nothing for me to do here. As an elder, if I don't say anything, I'll be considered incompetent, but if I do say anything, I won't be appreciated. I might as well go home and take care of your grandma."
I don't know how Qin Zheng replied.
The nanny closed the door as soon as she came in, and she had no intention of eavesdropping.
Qin Zheng knew exactly how to handle the situation.
"Hey sis, I have something to say."
"Hmm?" Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, looking at the nanny with a puzzled expression.
The nanny smiled warmly and said gently, "The one who tied the knot must untie it. Although Brother Qin Zheng is capable, I think it would be better if you personally intervened. Otherwise, if Sister Xiang'e goes home and explains why she returned to the village, what will the villagers say about you and Brother Qin Zheng?"
"The people in the village are the most troublesome."
"Gossip can be a real fearsome thing. Even if you don't care, it will still have an impact. You'll always have to go back to your hometown eventually. When Xiao Chuqi grows up and goes back to her hometown, if people use this incident to label her and gossip about her behind her back, won't the child be heartbroken?"
Ye Yun: "..."
...
Downstairs, Qin Xiang'e was still at odds with Qin Zheng.
No matter what Qin Xiang'e said, Qin Zheng remained silent and never offered his opinion.
In the end, Qin Xiang'e couldn't continue speaking, and in her anxiety, she said directly, "Zhengzi, don't just stare at me without saying anything."
"I'm telling you all this not so you can just listen."
“I’m telling the truth. You see, I can’t help you here. There are people doing the housework, and your daughter has someone to take care of her. I used to be able to get along with your mother-in-law, but now she’s gone out with her man. I’m really useless here. Just let me go back.”
Qin Zheng remained silent.
Suddenly a voice rang out from upstairs.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
