Chapter 898 Aunt's Plan
When my mother called, I was eating potato chips in front of the computer. Dongmei was skillfully copying a stack of documents on the screen.
I looked at the word "Mom" that appeared on my phone and had some stress reaction. My intuition told me that my mother calling me must be up to no good.
I swallowed the potato chips in my mouth, quickly prepared myself mentally, took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Hello, Mom?"
"Mengmeng," my mother's voice was much gentler than before, and I was a little uncomfortable with it. "Your uncle called today and said that he decided to come to City A to work early. Your cousin has finished his exams and is coming here with your cousin.
Can you let them stay at your place for a while? It takes time to rent a place."
I sighed, knowing that he was looking for trouble again.
I said in a gentle voice, "Mom, the house I live in only has one bedroom and a study, and only one bed. There's no room for their family. Let them stay in a hotel first."
"Oh, that's fine, but it's not very convenient. They stay in a hotel at night, and you have to pick up Ziting and Ziran to go to your place during the day.
Remember to find them a hotel nearby, preferably within a short walk.
In this way, your uncle will come to your place for dinner after work and take the child back to the hotel.
By the way, remember to buy some supplementary teaching materials, help them with their homework during the day, and take them out to play every few days, so as not to make your uncle worry too much..." My mother was still nagging.
I was completely stunned. What did this mean? I had to babysit and tutor my uncle's two kids?
What kind of hellish graduation gift package is this?
I quickly interrupted her, “Mom, I’ve graduated, so I don’t have a summer vacation this year.
I have already started working and don’t have time to help my uncle take care of the baby…”
"What kind of decent job can you get now? Be obedient and help your uncle take care of the kids this summer. Then you can look for a job when school starts.
The family doesn't need your income, and besides, if you want a job, can Shiqiu just ignore it?"
This time, my mother was very nice and looked like she was willing to negotiate something with me. However, although I have been idle at the moment, if I mess up someday, it might arouse the other party's suspicion. What if Fang Dongmei gets hurt?
Besides, even if this doesn’t happen, I don’t want to be a babysitter.
If a teenager doesn't listen to me, I can't beat or scold him, and I have to take responsibility if something happens. I don't want to do this thankless job at all.
I paced back and forth in the monitoring room in frustration, but I couldn't tell her directly that I was participating in the police operation. If she let it slip, Fang Dongmei would be in danger.
"My classmates and I opened a studio together. We are just starting out and are very busy..." I tried to use "entrepreneurship" as a shield.
"Joining up a studio with classmates?" My mother scoffed. "Isn't it just a few of your rich second-generation classmates playing around?
Can't we wait until after the summer vacation? Your uncle has to work and can't take care of the children..."
I finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Can't my aunt take care of the baby herself? Why did she come if she can't?
I've already agreed to find a job and a house, so why do you still want me to be a nanny? If I don't have a niece like me, will my uncle's family have trouble making ends meet? "
There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone.
After a few seconds, my mother's voice suddenly rose: "Xia Yimeng! What's with your attitude? You think you're so great just because you helped a little? Your aunt has to hand over her work and can't leave for the time being..."
"Handing over work?" I sneered. "Then can't she wait until the handover is complete before bringing the kids over? She knew her uncle had to go to work and there was no one to take care of the kids, yet she still let her uncle come over with two kids by himself?
Mom, if it were you, would you do this?
I am a little curious. If I were not in City A but went to study abroad, would my aunt have to send my uncle abroad to find a job?
Does she think that if she can control her uncle, she can also control his niece?
The child is clearly in Lincheng and his grandparents can take care of him, so why do they want me, a cousin I barely meet, to take care of him? "
There was silence on the other end of the phone again. After a while, my mother actually slowed down her tone, which was rare. "You're right. It's really not reasonable for your uncle to bring two children to City A alone. I'll call and ask."
After hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief. My mother seemed not as strong as before.
In fact, my mother is a bit like my uncle. Her emotional intelligence has been replaced by IQ, and there are not so many twists and turns.
My dad is not good at studying, but he has high emotional intelligence and is quite good at dealing with my mom.
I have always believed that people always have flaws, either lacking this or that.
For example, I think I have achieved balanced development, but I still have shortcomings both externally and internally.
Until I met Xiao Shiqiu, he is the biological son of Nuwa. Others just throw mud around, but he carves it meticulously and even adds color.
She has both high IQ and EQ, good looks and family background, she is so perfect that makes people jealous!
I wonder how Xiao Shiqiu would solve the problem I am facing?
Money power? I can do that too!
Thinking of this, I felt relieved. If I have to come, I will just spend the money.
Now I have the confidence to say that anything that can be solved with money is no big deal!
Not long after, my mother called again.
"I just asked your uncle, and he said it wasn't that your aunt insisted on having the two children come along, but that the children wanted to come along and play.
Your aunt said that it was rare for your cousin to have no homework this summer, and she couldn't bear to refuse him.
If she lets her brother come and doesn't let her sister come, people will say she favors boys over girls, and she has to treat them equally, so she has no choice but to ask for your help."
I was speechless. She wanted to treat everyone equally, so she had to let me do it for her? Why?
"Mom, it's the responsibility of my uncle and aunt to fulfill the child's wishes. It doesn't make sense that if my aunt wants to be a good mother, I have to be the victim, right?"
I retorted indignantly, "Besides, my cousins and I aren't familiar with each other. How can we play together if we just stare at each other?
Taking them out for dinner and a stroll around on the weekends was fine, but now they want me to take care of the kids every day. I might even have a psychological trauma and not want to have children myself in the future." I was getting angrier and angrier, and Luo Yong and Wen Congwu beside me were looking at me with strange eyes.
