Chapter 42 What kind of bewitching potion did the little girl give them?
Aunt Qin threw several heavy punches, but they were all blocked.
But she was very strong; just from those muffled thuds, you could tell it must have been very painful.
Sang Zhizhi was stunned. She never expected that this aunt, whom she had only met a few times, would stand in front of her without hesitation in a moment of danger.
An unprecedented anger flashed across her little face. "If you want to hit someone, hit the nest! But you're not allowed to hit Aunt Cuiping!"
When the neighbors saw this, they all stepped forward to break up the fight.
"Cuiping? Why are you rushing up there in such a hurry?"
Faced with the concerned inquiries, Cuiping smiled and shook her head, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Zhizhi reached out her soft little hand and touched Aunt Cuiping's face, her childish voice full of guilt.
"Aunt Cuiping, does it hurt a lot? Zhizhi will avenge you!"
"No!" Cuiping quickly pulled Zhizhi back. "Sweetie, don't be impulsive!"
Zhizhi is such a young child, how could she possibly be a match for her?
Cuiping turned around, forcing back the pain, and said to Aunt Qin, "If you've really been wronged, you can go talk to the former political commissar, or even to Minister Wen. How can you bear to hurt such a young child?"
"None of your business! Where did you come from? Get out of my way!"
Aunt Qin, taking advantage of the situation, even tried to tear Cuiping apart.
"--stop!"
A shout came from the alley entrance, and everyone looked over to see Wen Qingqian rushing over.
She was rehearsing for a show when she heard about the incident at home and rushed back without even having time to change her clothes.
Wen Qingqian is a beautiful woman and a rare leader of the cultural troupe in the military dependents' compound. The neighbors have always been somewhat afraid of her, and now they have spontaneously made way for her.
As Wen Qingqian approached, she saw the chaotic scene before her and couldn't help but frown slightly.
When Aunt Qin saw her coming, it was as if she had seen a savior. She immediately started complaining, "Oh my, Comrade Wen, you've finally come! If you hadn't come, I would have been bullied to death by your son! I just saw our snacks at those two little boys' house and asked about them, and Yuan Hui got angry and tried to kick me out!"
Although Yuan Hui could only vaguely make out blurry figures, he could still feel his mother's gaze upon him.
He clenched his fists silently, feeling a little nervous.
Every time Aunt Qin complained, my mother would scold me without saying a word.
She trusted Aunt Qin, but never trusted herself.
This time, she'll probably side with Aunt Qin too...
Sang Zhizhi snorted loudly, raising her hand defiantly, "She clearly started accusing the young man of stealing as soon as she came in, and then threatened the handsome young man that she didn't plan to work there anymore. That's why the handsome young man agreed to let her leave. Aunt Wen, don't believe her!"
Compared to Yuan Hui's sensitive and introspective nature, Zhi Zhi is much sharper and more sarcastic.
Her small, palm-sized face was filled with clear likes and dislikes. When Aunt Qin twisted the truth, she would immediately launch a cute punch.
Just like a fluffy, fuzzy cat, if anyone dares to mess with me, I'll beat them up!
One punch, one kill!
Don't fight!
"Shut up! Who gave you the right to speak!" Aunt Qin snapped at her, then turned to Wen Qingqian, her expression changing faster than flipping through a book: "Comrade Wen, you know how difficult it is for me to take care of a blind person. If Yuan Hui doesn't apologize to me, I absolutely will not continue working here. Even if you offer more money, it won't make a difference. You see..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Qingqian raised her hand to interrupt her.
"You said Zhizhi's brother stole something? Who told you that?"
Aunt Qin froze, her eyes darting around. "I just saw that we were the only ones who had those snacks..."
"I think Zhizhi is cute, so I'm giving this to her and her brother. Is that not allowed?"
Wen Qingqian's tone was gentle, yet sharp and cutting. Her gaze fell on Aunt Qin, carrying a sense of pressure. "You slandered someone's child, that's your fault. Yuan Hui only spoke the truth, which proves that he is of good nature. What did he do wrong? What did Zhenwei, whom you falsely accused of stealing, do wrong?"
"I...I was thinking of our family!"
"You know what you're up to! I know it too." Wen Qing narrowed her eyes, her tone even more ruthless. "My son did nothing wrong in this matter, and Zhizhi and the others did nothing wrong either. But you, calling my Xiaohui 'blind man' all the time, is this the attitude a nanny should have? I can't afford to use you anymore. If I continue to indulge you, are you going to ride roughshod over me?!"
Aunt Qin swallowed hard. "Have you thought this through? If I quit, let's see who else is willing to take on this mess your son has made!"
Yuan Hui is blind, making it extremely difficult for him to find a caregiver!
"Don't worry about it! My son's eyesight is improving, and I believe he'll get better soon!"
She glanced around at everyone and emphasized, "Of course, this is all thanks to Zhizhi! Zhizhi is a great benefactor to our family, and we are all grateful to her!"
Upon hearing this, the neighbors were utterly astonished.
ha?
Would someone as proud as a peacock be so kind to a child?
“Zhizhi brought me fruit last time. I like this girl because she has a sweet tongue.”
Someone in the crowd mentioned it, and everyone started discussing it animatedly.
"That's right, Aunt Qin just said that the second son stole something, but I absolutely cannot believe it. What doesn't Commander Jiang's family have!"
"This nanny's attitude is really something, she takes the money and still acts like she's not good enough, she's spoiled!"
"Commander Jiang's new wife is a good person. Her family wouldn't steal from her. It must be the nanny who's guilty!"
Wen Qingqian walked up to Zhizhi, squatted down and pinched her soft little face. "Zhizhi, you don't need to explain so much next time. Auntie treats you like her own daughter, so she will believe you unconditionally."
Aunt Qin's face gradually paled, becoming extremely pale.
Wen Qingqian actually spoke up for this brat in public?
What kind of magic does this girl possess? Why does everyone like her so much? Are they under some kind of spell?!
"Comrade Wen, you're in such a hurry to get rid of me because you see that Yuan Hui's eyes are about to become blind, right? I understand now, you're discarding me after you've served your purpose!"
Wenqing's heart sank to the bottom.
She also worries about what will happen to Xiaohui if there is no nanny.
But after what happened last night, she realized a truth.
That is, respecting the child's opinion.
Xiao Hui probably doesn't like Aunt Qin, but he keeps paying more money to keep her because he's afraid she won't adapt if they change her.
Spoiled by this, Aunt Qin became increasingly arrogant, believing that Xiao Hui couldn't live without her, so she intensified her threats.
So this time, even if it will be more difficult to find a nanny in the future.
She also wanted to fire Aunt Qin; she couldn't let her stay and affect the child's mood!
Hearing Aunt Qin compare herself to a donkey, Sang Zhizhi couldn't help but twitch her lips. She really admired Aunt Qin's thought process; how could she come up with so many things on her own?
However... she suddenly had an even better idea!
Sang Zhizhi's eyes darted around, and then she took a few quick steps, pulled Aunt Cuiping's hand, and walked up to Wen Qingqian.
She smiled sweetly, her childlike voice revealing a cleverness, "Aunt Wen, Aunt Cuiping is skillful at sewing and loves children. Just now, she was the one who helped Zhizhi block Aunt Qin's fist. If you're worried about not having an aunt to take care of pretty boy, then Aunt Cuiping can definitely do it!"
Cuiping was flattered by these words.
She lowered her head shyly, "I... ...Can I really do it?"
When Wen Qingqian saw Cuiping, she felt that she looked familiar. Just as she was hesitating...
Yuan Hui, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Mom, Zhizhi likes Aunt Cuiping, and I like her too. Could you... choose her?"
Wen Qingqian turned her head and noticed a glimmer of hope hidden in her son's eyes.
This was the first time he had proactively made a request to her...
