"When I first started working at the brokerage, I hired a woman to take care of my two children, clean the house, and cook three meals a day. But I never expected her to secretly pinch the children's thighs and to secretly take half of the vegetables and meat home while cooking. I definitely couldn't keep someone like that, so I fired her."
Later, the neighbor introduced another old woman. That old woman didn't pinch the children, nor did she secretly take food home. But she was unclean. She would always find some unknown thing in the food. The house was so dirty that I couldn't even step in. The children's clothes were so dirty that you couldn't tell what they were. Can I keep this person?
I fired them twice, and I kindly didn't tell anyone about the shameful things they did. But they went around saying I was hard to please and that I wasn't honest with them. They're both in their thirties or forties, the same age as my mothers. I should be calling them aunties and grandmas. How could I possibly do *that* to them? It makes me so angry!
And so, since we couldn't hire anyone else, I had to ask Xiaoman to fill in temporarily. But Xiaoman was too young; she couldn't take good care of Dazhuang, nor could she take care of herself. Plus, she kept crying and asking for you, so after thinking it over, I decided to send the two siblings back home.
When Lin Chaodong recounted his experiences during this period, it was truly a story of hardship.
Not to mention the little girl crying pitifully, he himself wanted to find his mother to comfort him and also wanted to have a good cry, okay?
It's so tough to go out and make a living alone!
He doesn't want to go out again now that he's back. However, he didn't bring any of the three of them's luggage back this time, so he still needs to make a trip to the prefectural city when he has some free time.
As for Liu, he couldn't think about that anymore. Although he no longer had the idea of divorce, he also no longer wanted to stay with her.
Yue Jiuyue was speechless. Everyone had their own grievances and their own bitter tears.
Looking at Dazhuang, who was still wandering around curiously, he said to them:
"Alright, go back and take a shower and change your clothes. There will be food when you come out later. After you eat, take a nap. Everything will be fine when you get home."
Lin Chaodong and the others went to the old house at the foot of the mountain to take a bath and change clothes. When Xiaoman left, she huffed at Lin Chaodong, showing that Lin Chaodong, as a father, had really squandered all his goodwill over the past month.
Now that they're back, they'll definitely need to stay at the house in Dongling. Yue Jiuyue wondered if they'd only be staying there temporarily, or if they'd be staying there permanently. She wondered if they could use Lin Chaobei's house for now. After all, Lin Chaobei always ate and slept with Lin Chaonan; he probably only stayed there for less than half a night.
There's no rush for any of these things. The old house is still in its original state, and everyone's bedding is still there. Only the clothes have all been packed up and brought into the new house, and all the bedding is brand new.
Therefore, Lin Chaodong and his family of three can stay in their original room. If Lin Chaodong is going back to the city in a few days, there is no need to vacate his house in Dongling.
To Yue Jiuyue's surprise, after finishing her meal, Xiaoman'er didn't go back to her room to sleep. Instead, she came running over to find her, saying that she wanted her to hold her while she slept because she was scared.
Could it be that she was frightened while sleeping alone in the city?
"Then, I'll hug you this once!"
Yue Jiuyue couldn't bear to refuse the pitiful little girl who was looking at her, so she compromised this time.
"Mmm!"
Xiao Man'er nodded happily, immediately took off her shoes, and scurried onto Yue Jiuyue's bed. She then snuggled close to Yue Jiuyue, wrapped her arms around her arm, closed her eyes, and lay down obediently.
Yue Jiuyue: ?(??????)?
Wow! The little girl is so cute today!
Yue Jiuyue's hand was itching to move.
However, she remained rational and did not succumb to the temptation of the little girl's cuteness. Instead, she controlled the little girl's hand, lay down, and prepared to sleep without moving.
As for sleeping, she can do it day or night. Taking a nap in the summer is also a normal thing, and she can fall asleep anytime.
What to do if you can't sleep at night?
She can sneak out and make money!
There are so many wild herbs on the mountain, almost all of them are medicinal materials. She could easily go out and dig them up and sell them in the online store.
As for whether it will be discovered...
Fine, at worst she can pretend she was sleepwalking. She worked hard her whole life and finally raised four children, only for them to suddenly discover that their mother was sleepwalking while working?
Isn't that touching?
Will I be even more filial to her in the future?
Yue Jiuyue fell asleep peacefully, and the little cutie next to her also fell asleep happily.
Lin Chaodong, disliked by his daughter: ???????
Fortunately, his son doesn't look down on him!
After the father and son finished eating, Lin Chaodong fell asleep with a satisfied look in his arms, holding Dazhuang.
This was truly the most peaceful sleep he had had in a month, even with Dazhuang still sleeping beside him.
In the afternoon, after closing the shop, the two brothers returned home. Before they even got home, they heard Xiaoman'er and Dazhuang making a lot of noise. The two brothers exchanged a glance and immediately ran home quickly.
"Little Man! Da Zhuang!"
The two called out to the siblings who were having fun, then squatted down and opened their arms.
As a result, no one threw themselves at them. Little Man was too busy running around playing with her windmill, while Da Zhuang was barking and yelling behind her, completely ignoring what the two of them were saying.
The two brothers: ≡￣﹏￣≡
How embarrassing!
But I've gotten used to it.
After the two brothers put down the things they had brought back that day and washed their hands, they immediately went over to play with Xiaoman'er and Dazhuang.
"Little Big Big! I want to be lifted up high!"
The little girl raised her hand to Lin Chaobei, who immediately glanced triumphantly at Lin Chaonan and then loudly agreed.
"Okay! Let's play lift-up! Yo~~~"
Lin Chaonan was genuinely envious, but he also knew that he was usually too introverted and not liked by Xiaoman'er, so he could only turn his attention to the little Dazhuang and ask:
"Dazhuang, how about we play lift you up high and fly you around, okay?"
Dazhuang couldn't understand what Lin Chaonan was saying, he just kept pointing at Xiaoman'er who was being lifted high in the air, and said indistinctly:
"Yes! Yes!"
Lin Chaonan raised an eyebrow, and without saying a word, he lifted Dazhuang up and carried him high into the air.
Da Zhuang drooled half a pound, laughing heartily.
Watching his own son and daughter being led away by his two younger brothers, Lin Chaodong felt exhausted and heartbroken.
His daughter doesn't want to play with him, and his son only cares about his sister. Now, he's just an unwanted father!
