Chapter 1498 Zhou Qiao's Request
"Ayu, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." Zhou Qiao glanced at Da Niu before speaking.
"you say."
Zhou Qiao sat down beside her. "I've observed that Grandma really likes children. So I'd like to bring Xiao Zaozao to stay at your house for a while. Of course, it's not entirely for Grandma's sake. Lan Hua's wedding is next month, and as her sister-in-law, I should go back and help out."
Shu Yu immediately understood what Zhou Qiao meant.
She lives on the estate now, which is too far away. If she wants to help, she will definitely have to take the child back to Shangshi Village, since Lanhua is going to get married in Shangshi Village.
But living in the village meant having to face Li every day.
If it were any other day, it wouldn't be a problem. But with Xiaozaozao in the middle, Li's attention was all on her, and for Xiaozaozao's sake, she was more tolerant of her as her mother.
But now it's before Lan Hua's wedding, and there are many complicated matters to attend to. Li Shi herself is quite strict and takes her children's affairs very seriously. If Zhou Qiao does anything wrong, Li Shi will definitely magnify it infinitely, thinking that she, as the sister-in-law, can't stand to see her sister-in-law doing well.
If there's no Da Niu to mediate in the family, Zhou Qiao, as the daughter-in-law, will have no choice but to endure it, and you can imagine how difficult that will be.
But if Xiao Zaozao lived with the old lady in the county town, it would be a different story. As her biological mother, Zhou Qiao couldn't completely abandon her. Even if she couldn't be by her side every day, she would have to take the child out for the night every day or two.
The county town is not far from Shangshi Village. If Zhou Qiao finishes her business for the day and still has time, she can go back to the county town to stay.
The old lady had just fallen ill, and if she wanted Xiaozaozao to stay by her side, Li Shi couldn't say anything.
Shu Yu could understand Zhou Qiao's thoughts; they both knew her aunt's personality.
So she had no objection.
"Just talk to Grandma about this, and if she agrees, that's fine."
Shu Yu also wanted Xiao Zaozao to stay by the old lady's side. Although the Lu family had many children, they all had their own things to do now.
Not to mention the four Shu siblings, Erniu from the eldest uncle's family and Dabao from the third uncle's family are both in school and can only come over once a week during their days off.
As for Bao Ya and Xiao Zhen from her fourth aunt's family, they have already started helping with what they can at home. In addition, the distance is a bit far, and they have to take a horse-drawn carriage to get there and back, so they don't come over very often.
The youngest, Quan Quan, and Xiao Song Le, come the most. But these two three-year-olds are unpredictable and run around everywhere. They can't stay at home and have become incredibly wild with their lucky cat.
The only one who is relatively well-mannered is Cuihua's son, Laiyuan, who is now also studying at school.
The Lu family said they had so many children, but it was impossible for them to stay by the old lady's side all the time.
Now only little Zaozao is left; she can't run or jump anymore, so she can keep the old lady company.
Shu Yu was quite happy that Xiao Zaozao, the adorable little baby, was living at home; she liked her too.
Zhou Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Grandma about it."
She glanced at Da Niu again, who chuckled, "Why are you looking at me? I have no objection. Besides, I was originally planning to tell you that the shop in the prefectural city is about to open, and I'll be very busy. I'll have to trouble you with things at home."
Since he had said that, Zhou Qiao had no more reservations.
When the old lady woke up, she told her her idea, and the old lady was overjoyed.
The old lady knew Li Shi well; she thought it was quite good. Taking care of Xiao Zaozao wasn't troublesome, the child was very well-behaved, and besides, she had a wet nurse by her side.
