Chapter 165
"Mom, the person who entered your room might be Zhao Yuan." Ye Fuyue said.
"Zhao Yuan? Why did she come into my room?" Chen Guifeng was puzzled.
Ye Fuyue shook her head: "I don't know either, but she always likes to hang around our house when I'm not paying attention."
Ye Fuyue told Chen Guifeng about Zhao Yuan's problem in detail.
She had told Shen Yao about this before, but at that time she only thought Zhao Yuan had entered the room to take a look, and had not thought that Zhao Yuan would rummage through things. Shen Yao and she did not take it seriously. Shen Yao also said that if she did not like Zhao Yuan wandering around the house, she should close the door of the room.
She did close the doors of the room afterwards, but it still didn't stop Zhao Yuan from wandering around the room.
"Does Zhao Yuan have this problem? I've never heard anyone mention it before." Chen Guifeng murmured.
"Mom, why don't you take a look in your room to see if there's anything missing?" Ye Fuyue suggested.
Chen Guifeng nodded and went into the house to take a look.
After a while, she came out and said to Ye Fuyue and the others, "Nothing's missing. But it's always uncomfortable to have strangers wandering around in your house."
Ye Fuyue nodded in agreement. "I think so too. I already closed the door, but she went in and rummaged around when I wasn't paying attention. It's really annoying."
She said to Shen Yao, "Why don't you find an excuse to tell Zhao Yuan not to come here anymore."
Shen Yao nodded: "Okay, if you don't want her to come, I'll tell her. But if Zhao Yuan is not allowed to come, can you do it alone?"
Everyone was silent.
Given Ye Fuyue's current condition, she might attack at any time. It would be impossible not to leave someone at home to watch over her.
Chen Guifeng suddenly thought, "If we can't find Zhao Yuan, we can find someone else. Like Aunt Xu, she's nice and lives closer to home. Although her daughter-in-law hasn't been pregnant or given birth yet, she's had several children herself and has taken care of her own daughter during the confinement period. She's more experienced, so she'd be a better choice."
Shen Yao said: "I thought about looking for Aunt Xu before, but I was worried that Aunt Xu and Fu Yue were too different in age and there would be nothing to talk about."
"You don't have to worry about this. Aunt Xu doesn't have to stay with Fu Yue all the time. She can also go out occasionally to take care of her own things, but just don't be out for too long. Besides, you think Fu Yue and Zhao Yuan have something to talk about when they are together, isn't it just chatting about the gossip in the slum?" Chen Guifeng said.
Ye Fuyue smiled. "Mom is right. I'm not familiar with anyone, so when we get together, all we can talk about is the gossip in the compound."
"Okay, then I'll go talk to Aunt Xu now." Shen Yao stood up and said.
Shen Yao took out ten eggs again. After a while, he brought back the ten eggs intact.
"What's the matter? Aunt Xu doesn't want to come?" Chen Guifeng asked.
"She came, but she said she didn't want the eggs no matter what. She said that even if she didn't come to our place to accompany Fu Yue, she would hang around in the slum all day. Maybe it wasn't her who accompanied Fu Yue, but Fu Yue who accompanied her. I forced the eggs on her, but she chased me out and forced the eggs back to me." Chen Yao looked helpless.
Chen Guifeng smiled: "Your Aunt Donghong is really enthusiastic. If she doesn't accept it, just let her be."
Aunt Xu's real name is Xu Donghong, and people sometimes call her Aunt Donghong.
"Have you told Zhao Yuan that she doesn't need to come tomorrow?" Ye Fuyue asked.
Shen Yao nodded: "I said it."
"What did you say?" Ye Fuyue and Chen Guifeng asked curiously.
"I said your belly is too big, and I'm worried about you. I think Aunt Xu is more experienced, so I want her to come and accompany you, so that Zhao Yuan doesn't have to come over."
Chen Guifeng was speechless: "You are too direct. You should tell Zhao Yuan that if he doesn't have time in the future, he doesn't have to come here specially."
Shen Yao said: “I know, but I’m afraid that if I don’t speak directly, Zhao Yuan won’t understand, so I’ll come again in the future.”
Ye Fuyue: "..."
Chen Guifeng: “…”
Well, it's not impossible. Just be direct. No matter how tactfully you say it, you might offend Zhao Yuan. After all, it's easier to invite a Buddha than to send him away.
Chen Guifeng was silent for a few moments, then said, "I've been thinking about something recently. Although Donghong is taking care of Fuyue now, she'll need to stay in confinement after giving birth. Who can we hire to take care of her? After the confinement, there are still two babies to look after. I'm worried about Fuyue being alone, so who can we hire to help take care of them?"
"I've thought about these issues." Chen Yao said, "If Aunt Donghong does a good job, we can let her take care of Fuyue during her confinement and come over occasionally to help take care of the two babies. We'll pay her."
Chen Guifeng waved her hand: "No, no, Aunt Donghong also has her own family to take care of. How can I let her take care of Fuyue all the time? There will definitely be people in the yard gossiping."
When Ye Fuyue heard Chen Guifeng say this, she knew that Chen Guifeng must have some thoughts in her mind.
She asked, "Mom, what do you think we should do?"
Chen Guifeng sighed and said, "I plan to let Chen Kang come back and take over my job. I will stay at home to take care of Fu Yue and my two grandchildren."
She said to Shen Yao, "Before you got married, I also wanted to save more money for you three brothers, so I never mentioned asking Kang'er to come back and take over my job. Now that you are married and Fuyue is about to give birth, I don't have to worry about your affairs. I only need to save enough money for Shun'er to study and get married, for Kang'er to get married, and for my own retirement. Now that I have saved almost all my money and Fuyue is about to give birth, it is time for me to retire and give my job to Kang'er."
Chen Yao said: "If you have thought it over, just do it according to your own ideas. I will give you a little more money every month as a reward for helping us take care of our grandchildren."
Chen Guifeng sneered at him, "I'm taking care of my own grandson, so why should I need any compensation from you? Don't worry about running out of money when I retire. Your eldest brother will still have to pay for household expenses, and you will have to pay for them too. I've saved enough money, so it's more than enough for me."
"Mom, even if you don't accept this money, we still have to use it to find outsiders for help. It's better for our family to accept the money." Ye Fuyue also said.
After all, Chen Yao's salary was high, and she planned to return to her old job after her confinement. Giving Chen Guifeng a little more money wouldn't make much of a difference to them. More importantly, Chen Guifeng was really good to them, so they were happy to give.
"We'll talk about the money later. Chen Yao, write a letter to your brother and ask him to come back and take over my job." Chen Guifeng said.
"Okay." Shen Yao nodded.
…
So from then on, it was Aunt Donghong who came to accompany Ye Fuyue.
Although Aunt Donghong was a bit of a gossipmonger, she was very sensible. In Ye Fuyue's house, she always sat in the main hall or the courtyard, never entering the rooms, nor peeking outside the doors, showing any interest in what was going on in the rooms. Ye Fuyue was quite satisfied with this.
Aunt Donghong brought her own vegetables over to Ye Fuyue for her to pick. As she was picking, she asked, "Fuyue, I've always been curious. Wasn't Zhao Yuan accompanying you well enough? Why did you suddenly ask me to come over?"
