When Yao heard that Zhou Jing'an wanted to send Xiao Cui away, she was immediately displeased and quickly advised, "Jing'an, I sent Xiao Cui here specifically to take care of you. You can't let her go."
“Your injury requires someone to take care of you, and this girl is perfect for you. You can leave her here without worry.”
Then he yelled at the little ones beside him, "Stop crying! What's all the noise about!"
Before Zhou Jing'an could say anything to Ning Huan, the four little ones shook their heads: "I don't want this auntie to stay!"
"I don't like her, don't let her stay in our house!"
"This auntie definitely won't be able to take good care of Daddy, no, no!"
Then they looked at Xiao Cui and said, "Don't even think about staying in our house, and we won't call you 'little mother'!"
"My dad will never marry you, don't even think about it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yao's face changed: "You four little beasts, if you don't speak properly to me, I'll beat you up!"
Then she looked at Ning Huan and cursed, "You bitch, look what kind of person you've raised your child to be!"
Then she looked at Zhou Jing'an and said, "Jing'an, look at your wife! She's gone too far! How dare she talk to her mother-in-law like that! What kind of behavior is this? If you ask me, you should just divorce her!"
Ning Huan raised an eyebrow, thinking that Madam Yao had finally revealed her true intentions. Wasn't her plan to send her away and then marry Xiao Cui into the family?
Before Ning Huan could speak, Zhou Jing'an spoke first. He frowned and said with great displeasure, "Mother, what do you mean by that? Do you mean you want me to divorce my wife?"
Hearing Zhou Jing'an's tone, even if Yao was completely oblivious, she knew she shouldn't respond, because he was clearly angry.
She rolled her eyes as if she had thought of something, and then suddenly began to wail loudly:
“What could I possibly mean? I just love you as a mother! I know you resent me and feel that I'm not good to you. But now I know I was wrong, so I wanted to find someone to help you.”
“Xiao Cui is quick and efficient at her work, and she helps take care of you, so your wife can catch her breath and do some work outside to earn money. But I clearly wanted to change, yet you still treat me like this! I am your mother, Jing An!”
Seeing that Yao was about to wail again, Ning Huan quickly interrupted, "Mother, please stop crying. It turns out we misunderstood you. Your wife apologizes."
The crying stopped immediately. Madam Yao stared intently at Ning Huan, afraid that she might do something else.
Zhou Jing'an looked at her with great curiosity, but Ning Huan said very sincerely, "So Mother sent Xiao Cui over here so she could help with the work and make things easier for us. That's a good thing!"
With the New Year just around the corner, there's a ton of work to be done around the house. Since Pang Shi left, Ning Huan has had a tough time managing all the chores on her own.
Since Yao has offered her a job for free, how could she not stay?
Xiao Cui felt something was off about Ning Huan's words. What did she mean by helping with chores? She was only responsible for taking care of Brother Jing An, and couldn't do any other rough work.
Just as she was about to say something to Yao, the village chief and the villagers came to visit Zhou Jing'an again.
Upon entering, the village chief saw Yao Shi inside and immediately blurted out, "Yao Shi, what are you up to now!"
It's no wonder the village chief reacted instinctively; it's just that whenever Yao was around, nothing good ever happened to the Zhou family—it always turned into chaos.
But before Yao could even speak, Ning Huan interjected, "Village Chief, my mother-in-law didn't do anything else; she just brought someone over to our house today."
The village chief asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"
Ning Huan said with a smile, "My mother-in-law saw that I was working too hard, so she found someone to come and help me with some chores."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yao finally understood what Ning Huan meant and was about to correct her.
The village chief, however, asked with some skepticism, "Yao, have you really changed this time? You haven't caused any trouble, have you?"
She looked at the village chief in front of her and several elders behind her, feeling somewhat afraid, and stammered, not daring to speak.
After all, the village chief had warned Zhou Dashan to mind his own business and stop causing trouble. In addition, Zhou Dashan had just told her a few days ago not to cause trouble at Lao San's place anymore. What if it got out and Zhou Dashan kicked her out of the house in a fit of anger?
Thinking of this, she could only force a stiff smile and nod in response, "That's right, I just saw that the third brother's family was too busy, so I asked someone to help them."
Xiao Cui's expression immediately changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward to tug at Yao Shi's sleeve. Yao Shi slapped Xiao Cui's hand away and then winked at her.
The village chief and the elders had seen all sorts of people and heard all sorts of stories over the years. With just one gesture and a glance, they immediately understood what was going on.
Before the village chief could speak, Yao said, "You child, you're only here to help out for a while, why are you already homesick? How old are you!"
Then she looked at the village chief and said, "Village chief, this girl's home is far away, and she's probably not used to it, which is why she was pulling and tugging at me. I'm sorry you had to laugh at her."
Taking advantage of this moment, the four little ones gently tugged at Ning Huan and whispered, "Mommy, we don't like this auntie. Can we talk to Uncle Village Chief and ask her to leave?"
“Mother, this aunt doesn’t seem like she’s a hard worker. We shouldn’t let her stay.”
"Mom, Grandma just told us to call this aunt 'Little Mom,' so Grandma must have brought her here on purpose."
Ning Huan gently patted the heads of the four little ones and said, "Let's keep this auntie here. She can help with lots and lots of chores, and then Mom will have a lot of time to cook delicious food for you and play with you."
The little ones hadn't expected that and asked in surprise, "Mommy, are you telling the truth?"
Ning Huan nodded: "Of course."
Hearing what Yao and the village chief were saying, Xiao Cui quickly tried to explain that she wasn't a girl who came to help with the work; she came to do something for Zhou Jing'an...
But before she could speak, Xiao Cui saw Yao glare at her fiercely, as if to tell her not to say anything out of line.
Let's appease the village chief and the others first, and then talk about it behind closed doors later.
Xiao Cui was very unwilling, but when she saw Zhou Jing'an lying on the bed, although his face was pale from the injury, it still couldn't hide his handsomeness.
She had never seen such a handsome person before. Thinking that she would be able to marry Jing'an and become his wife in the future, she decided to endure it!
