Sun Yuqi did not ride a bicycle because the child was too young, just one month old, so Mu Jingran rode a bicycle to take the mother and daughter to Grandpa Chen.
Grandpa Chen started to clean up early in the morning. He was very happy about the arrival of his great-grandson. Grandma Ye's niece had also come over after breakfast.
Grandma Ye’s great-niece is named Ye Mei. She is about eighteen or nineteen years old, but because her skin is a little dark, she looks about twenty-four or twenty-five. She is very strong. How to say it, she is a bit stronger than the average thin man, and it seems that she does housework regularly.
When Sun Yuqi and her husband arrived, she was helping Grandpa Chen wash clothes in the yard. Seeing her diligent appearance, Sun Yuqi's heart moved. This girl is good. Since she can take care of the children, she will be able to take care of Grandpa in the future. However, I heard that the girl is already nineteen years old, and she probably won't be able to stay for long. At most, she will be married in two or three years.
Grandpa Chen saw Sun Yuqi when she walked into the yard holding the child. He immediately walked over and took little Mu Qingzhuo from Sun Yuqi's arms. He looked at the little guy who was still sleeping in the cradle. Grandpa Chen smiled so hard that the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
"Oh, my precious great-grandson, but he is a little heavier than he was a few days ago."
Sun Yuqi was very surprised when she heard this. Why didn't she feel that the child had gained weight? But then she felt relieved when she remembered that she had strength-related abilities. With greater strength, the weight of her son changed, but it was only a slight change for her, so she didn't feel it.
Sun Yuqi followed Grandpa Chen into the house, "Grandpa, where is this girl from?"
Grandpa Chen placed Mu Qingzhuo on the small bed he had prepared in the room, and then spoke softly.
"Alas, this girl has a miserable life. Her family is from Tang City. There was a great earthquake in 1976. She was only eleven or twelve years old at that time! Her parents were gone at that time. Later, the rescuers asked her if she had any relatives. She said that she had an aunt in Jing City, so the rescuers sent her to your Grandma Ye in Jing City. She has been here for six or seven years. Your Grandma Ye has been worried over the years. This child is kind-hearted and doesn't have so many tricks. Her cousins don't treat her very well either. In those years, no one was rich. Suddenly, there were more mouths to feed, so you had to eat less. For this, your Grandma Ye has been worried a lot! She is older now, but it is difficult to find a husband for this girl. You know how difficult it is to marry in Jing City nowadays without a job and with a rural household registration."
After listening to what her grandfather said, Sun Yuqi disagreed in her heart. In the future, it would not be only those with a stable job that could lead to success. People who do business would have a better life. However, it was not easy for her to say this now, so she thought about it and said.
"Grandpa, I'm thinking, if possible, let her live with us in the future. First, she can take care of you and the child. Second, we can wait for a year or two to get married. I'll arrange a job for her then."
Grandpa Chen was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Sun Yuqi. "Grandpa, think about it, I still need to work. I thought of letting this girl help you look after the children at home and take care of you at the same time. I plan to move here to live with you after I start working, so I don't have to send the children to school in the morning and pick them up in the evening every day. Also, you know that Mu Ran is doing business in the south, and I heard that her business with Chen Hao is getting bigger and bigger, and they will need more and more people in the future. I want to take advantage of these two years to see how Ye Mei is doing. If possible, I will let her go to work for Mu Ran."
When Grandpa Chen heard Sun Yuqi say this, he thought about it and stopped objecting. "But isn't two years a bit too long?"
Sun Yuqi poured a cup of tea for Grandpa Chen and placed it on the table next to him before speaking.
"Grandpa, I have a plan. First, I want the girl to help take care of the children and you. Second, I want her to read some books. She won't be able to do business in the future without education. If she wants to work, she needs to study for two years first. Otherwise, she won't be able to help Mu Ran and the others when she goes south!"
After listening to Sun Yuqi's analysis, Grandpa Chen waved his hand and said, "Alright, go talk to that girl about this matter. I won't take care of it anymore."
Sun Yuqi smiled and left the house. Ye Mei had just hung the washed clothes on the clothesline. Sun Yuqi walked over and watched Ye Mei work.
It was not until Ye Mei finished her work and turned around that she found Sun Yuqi standing behind her. She was also surprised, but then she smiled shyly, and a blush appeared on her dark face, but because of her dark complexion, it was not very obvious.
Sun Yuqi smiled.
"Don't be busy! I have something I want to talk to you about."
Ye Mei was a little at a loss, and her calloused hands were nervously pinching the corners of her clothes. Sun Yuqi knew that this girl was living in her great-aunt's house and must have been looked down upon, so she made these subconscious movements. She smiled.
"Don't be nervous, come on, let's go to my room and talk for a while."
Bringing Ye Mei into the house, Sun Yuqi pointed to the chair opposite her.
"Please sit down. Today I just want to talk to you about your future life."
Seeing that she was so nervous, Sun Yuqi didn't beat around the bush and directly said what she meant. Unexpectedly, it had such a great effect. When Ye Mei heard Sun Yuqi talk about her life, she realized that she might have hope from here.
There was a hint of expectation in Sun Yuqi's eyes, and Sun Yuqi was more certain in her heart that this girl was not as honest as she seemed, but a person with inner beauty. No matter what she looked like, she had her own standards in her heart.
Sun Yuqi didn't waste any time and told her plan again, and added one more sentence at the end.
"Of course, whether you're willing or not is up to you. I'm saying this because I want you to spend the next two years taking care of Grandpa and the children while studying the books I'll bring back for you. Since you can read, even if you were delayed for those years, it won't prevent you from learning other knowledge now."
Ye Mei's face was very calm, but the expression in her eyes was still clearly seen by Sun Yuqi. She looked at Sun Yuqi calmly.
"Sister Sun, I promise you that I will take care of Grandpa and the child from today on. I will do my best to take care of them. Also, I will study the books you brought back carefully when the time comes."
Sun Yuqi felt comforted when she heard her say that. No matter what, she had given her the opportunity. If she couldn't grasp it, she would be too stupid.
