Chapter 61: Kill first and ask for shelter later
The Internet is not so developed now, and short videos have not yet become popular.
We all see the world from our surroundings, so it is normal to have limited vision and understanding.
In her previous life, Chen Baomei lived alone. When short videos first became popular, she became addicted to watching them.
Through the Internet, she also learned that the nannies of European royal families all graduated from professional housekeeping and nanny schools, and their annual salaries were tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
"There are different types of nannies. For example, those who specialize in caring for the elderly are called care workers. Care workers who have some medical knowledge will definitely earn more than ordinary care workers. Those who take care of babies are called nannies or childcare teachers in big cities. Professional childcare teachers must be certified..."
"Different needs require different skills. For example, when you cook and clean the house, don't you also need to be efficient and make nutritious and delicious meals?"
"Mom thinks you can use your free time to learn something, like becoming a nutritionist, nanny, maternal and child care specialist, or health manager. Having many skills is always a plus. With these skills, when you find a job in the future, it won't be you who gets picked, but you who get picked."
"If you learn well and do a good job, earning 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a year is not a problem. That's no less than an office worker."
Lu Qionghua listened very carefully and even took out the small notebook she used to keep track of her grocery shopping from her bag and wrote down the certificates that Chen Baomei mentioned.
When Lu Qionghua heard that she could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, her eyes lit up.
Now she thinks 6,000 yuan a month is too high. If she has the skills, she can earn hundreds of thousands. How can that be possible?
Learn, she must learn new technology!
She must pass these certificates!
"Mom, I need to take these exams, who should I ask for help?"
Chen Baomei was a little confused by her question.
Chen Baomei failed the exam and didn’t know what to do.
Chen Baomei tried hard to recall. She clapped her hands and said, "Look for a housekeeping company. Who found you this job? It should be through a housekeeping company, right?"
Lu Qionghua shook her head, "Someone introduced it to me."
"Then you can find a housekeeping company. They are professionals in this field and will definitely know how to obtain these certificates."
"Okay, I'll do it when I get back."
With a direction, Lu Qionghua suddenly felt that the future was bright.
She decided that even if she was to be a nanny, she would be the best and most skilled nanny!
After chatting with Chen Baomei for a while, Chen Baomei talked about her moving tomorrow.
"If you come one day later, we will move out."
There is still a lot to do before moving tomorrow, so Chen Baomei asked her to come and join in the fun while she was preparing to warm up the house.
Lu Qionghua: "Then tell me when you've decided on a time. I'll ask for leave from my host family in advance."
Thinking that Lu Qionghua had no place to live after her divorce, Chen Baomei asked her if she wanted to buy a house.
Lu Qionghua wanted to buy one, but including the property she got from the divorce, she only had about 200,000 yuan in total, which was definitely not enough to buy a house.
Chen Baomei thought for a moment and said, "Mom also wants to buy a house. When the time comes, you can come with me to look at it. If you find one you like, I'll make up for the difference."
Just consider it as her repayment to the child for all these years.
Since he said he treated her as his daughter, she had to show her attitude too.
If it weren't for Lu Qionghua's help, she wouldn't have had an easy life these years.
Lu Qionghua was frightened by her.
She shook her head and refused, "No, no, no, Mom, this won't work. No, I can't take your money."
She has nothing to do with the Shen family now, so how can she still accept Chen Baomei's kindness with peace of mind?
"Okay, you don't have a house, and if you get demoted, you won't even have a place to live. I feel really uneasy about you not having parents or relatives. Just come visit me more often and buy me some things to honor me."
Lu Qionghua still did not agree.
She wanted to buy a house, but she didn't have enough money.
As for the loan, she hadn't worked for many years and was afraid that one day she wouldn't earn enough money to pay it back.
Chen Baomei felt relieved when she knew what she was thinking.
She had already made up her mind that when she went to see the houses, she would reserve one for Lu Qionghua.
Lu Qionghua will pay some of the money herself, and she will help to make up the rest.
Buy it now while the price is not high. If you wait a few years until the price goes up, Lu Qionghua’s work over the years will be in vain.
It is better for a woman to have her own house than anything else.
Isn’t it said that a nest of gold or silver is not as good as your own doghouse?
When you are happy, you can have fun in your own house. When you are frustrated, you can retreat to your own harbor and lick your wounds.
Like in her previous life, she lost even her only resettlement house and could only live in a small rental house.
After she fell ill, the landlord was afraid that she would die in the rental house and affect future rentals, so he tried to evict her many times.
It was already difficult for her to rent a house because she was old. Shen Qin and Shen Ming found it troublesome and shamelessly refused to move, saying that the lease had not expired yet.
Shen Rui wanted to take her back to raise her, but Shen Qin and Shen Ming firmly disagreed.
The three brothers take turns raising her. If Shen Rui takes her home to raise her, when it is Shen Qin and Shen Ming's turn, Chen Baomei will also have to live in their homes.
Both daughters-in-law were not easy to deal with, and they also felt it was inconvenient to have a patient at home, so they firmly disagreed with Shen Rui's request.
Shen Rui even asked someone to carry a stretcher to take Chen Baomei away, but he was blocked at the door by the two families and was forced to return Chen Baomei to the rental house.
Later, Shen Rui broke his leg and was admitted to the hospital. Something happened to Guo Xiaoxiao's parents again. The third wife, who was still able to help her, was too busy to take care of her.
The next day, Shen Ru and Shen Rui came early to help Chen Baomei move.
Watching the huge self-built house being emptied bit by bit, Chen Baomei felt empty for a moment.
This is the house she built brick by brick after she got married, and she has lived in it for nearly 30 years.
It's really hard to feel that I have to move out suddenly.
Looking at the big pomegranate tree in the yard that had been planted since the house was built, Chen Baomei felt even more reluctant to part with it.
This pomegranate tree bears fruit every year. In the autumn of previous years, the pomegranate tree always produced big, red pomegranates. I picked them, peeled them, put them in a bowl, and then put handfuls into my mouth. Every bite would fill my mouth with the sweet pomegranate juice.
After moving out, if I want to eat pomegranates, I have to buy them outside.
I don’t know if the pomegranates I bought taste different from the ones from the tree at home.
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled as she watched Chen Baomei staring at the pomegranate tree reluctantly.
"Mom, if you can't bear to part with it, just ask someone to move the pomegranate tree to the villa. The villa's yard is big anyway, so planting another pomegranate tree won't be a problem. And move this stone table and stone bench over as well. When the weather gets hot, we can still cool off under the tree like before."
This pomegranate tree is almost thirty years old. It would be a pity to remove it given how lush it looks.
Chen Baomei hesitated. "Wouldn't it be difficult for such a large tree to survive if transplanted there? Besides, it's too big to be transported."
Guo Xiaoxiao said readily, "Professional work requires professionals. I have a friend who specializes in large saplings and can do it without killing them. I'll help you contact them."
"Okay, then please help me ask how much it costs."
Chen Baomei estimated that it would cost a lot of money just to transport the tree, not to mention hiring someone to dig up the tree and transplant it.
"Why talk about money? Just consider it your moving-in present. I'm not good at choosing gifts anyway. It's just perfect. I'll be responsible for planting this tree in your yard intact."
Chen Baomei felt relieved by these words.
"Okay."
The third daughter-in-law is quite capable.
With help, the new house was tidied up in one day.
Chen Baomei didn't ask anyone to pick a time specifically, so she just booked the housewarming for this weekend, which was convenient for everyone.
She didn't invite too many people, just Shen Ru and Shen Rui's family, Lu Qionghua, her neighbor Sister Ma, and Tang Zheng, who wanted to give her a discount on the house.
On the day of warming up, Chen Ru and Lu Qionghua came early to help.
The food was ready and customers started arriving one after another.
While Chen Baomei was busy greeting everyone, a small truck drove to the door of her villa.
Shen Qin and Wu Wenwan got out of the car and said to Chen Baomei with a sad look:
"Mom, our house is uninhabitable. You must take us in!"
