Even Zhao Manman didn't know how to respond when she suddenly heard Huang Meijuan's words.
Zhao Manman opened her mouth several times before she found her voice again, "Wha...what?"
Huang Meijuan looked at Zhao Manman with some dismay, "What? Didn't you say you didn't know we needed a nanny? Well, now you know.
We are old friends, and he is used to living in our house and knows our family better.
Besides, Jinbao is the only child in my family, so it will be easy for you to take care of him, don’t you think?
I will go with you to the Second Company Captain's house in a little while, and have a good talk with him, asking him to find another nanny, and then you can come back with me."
Huang Meijuan's words sounded like a matter of course, not only leaving Zhao Manman stunned on the spot, but also Su Runrun and the others.
Regardless of whether Zhao Manman used to be a nanny in Huang Meijuan's home, since she has found another job now, it is not reasonable for Huang Meijuan to say such things.
But now, Huang Meijuan no longer explained it, and even spoke as if it was a matter of course.
Su Ruanruan was really curious about what kind of train of thought was going on in Huang Meijuan's mind.
Zhao Manman was obviously also shocked, and stared at Huang Meijuan with wide eyes.
Only after Huang Meijuan's repeated urging did he come back to his senses.
"Well, Mrs. Huang, we should be honest. Since I have promised the Second Captain that I will be their nanny, I cannot go back on my word.
If sister-in-law really wants a nanny, I will help her find one. She will definitely be better and more efficient than me at the job. "
Huang Meijuan didn't listen at all. "What are you talking about? I like you, I get along with you, and I trust you, so I want you to come.
If it were someone else, I wouldn’t be able to trust them.”
Zhao Manman didn't answer for a moment. But just by looking at the expression on her face, Su Ruanruan knew that Zhao Manman must be very speechless at this moment.
Is there a treasure in Huang Meijuan’s house?
I still can't trust others.
Are you afraid that someone will steal it?
Perhaps she felt that she had expressed it too politely and Huang Meijuan might not understand, so the next time Zhao Manman spoke, she directly refused.
"I'm sorry, Sister Huang, although you trust me and I'm very happy, but I still can't go."
After being rejected so clearly, the smile on Huang Meijuan's face disappeared instantly and her tone became much worse.
"What do you mean? I've said so much, and you refuse. You're scaring me in front of everyone."
Zhao Manman also frowned, "What do you mean by that, sister-in-law? I am free, I only listen to myself, I don't want to go, is there anything wrong with being a nanny in sister-in-law's house?
Could it be that my sister-in-law is the former emperor, and everyone has to listen to what she says?"
Although Huang Meijuan is not very smart, she is not a fool either.
After hearing what Zhao Manman said, he felt something was not good and quickly shook his head, while forcing a smile.
"Look at what we are saying. How did we end up here? Manman, don't be angry. You know that I, your sister-in-law, speak my mind quickly. Sometimes, when I speak too quickly, it's easy for people to misunderstand me.
I just like you and want to spend more time with you. Since you already have a new job, I won't say much.
Anyway, we all live in the same compound, and we will see each other more often in the future. When I miss you, I will go to talk to you. Do you think this is okay?"
Huang Meijuan had already given Zhao Manman a way out, so she didn't go on to complain and just went down the stairs.
"Since my sister-in-law has said so, I will go talk to her when I have time in the future."
Huang Meijuan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, come on."
The two of them talked and laughed, and they looked very happy, as if the unpleasantness that had happened before had never happened.
While watching the show, Su Runrun did not stop her hands and kept washing clothes.
Seeing that the show was over and Su Runruan's clothes were all washed, she turned around to look at Niu Guifang.
"Sister-in-law, I'm done washing, are you done yet?"
Niu Guifang's movements were more efficient. She had already finished washing and was just watching the fun.
After hearing what Su Ruanruan said, he immediately nodded and said, "I'm done washing too, let's go back."
It's nice to be lively, but it's not nice if you become part of the liveliness.
Niu Guifang knew Huang Meijuan's temper very well and didn't want to stay here any longer, for fear that Huang Meijuan would come to talk to her the next moment.
Su Ruanruan didn't want to stay here any longer. The two of them didn't need to communicate too much. Just a glance at each other was enough to understand what the other was thinking.
The two of them picked up the basins, said hello to the other military wives, and turned to leave.
After walking a distance, Niu Guifang approached Su Ruanruan and lowered her voice and said, "Sister Ruan, do you feel strange? Who is Huang Meijuan?
She wanted to spend every penny carefully. Her son is grown up now and she can take care of him by herself. She also has her mother-in-law to help her. There is no need for her to hire a nanny and spend that money.
Why did she insist on having Zhao Manman go to her house? Did she have too much money to spend? Or did she really like Zhao Manman? "
Niu Guifang could see the problem, so Su Runrun was certainly not unaware of it.
Su Runrun had some guesses in her mind, but it was not appropriate to tell Niu Guifang, so she could only shake her head.
"Who knows! But sister-in-law, I think Zhao Manman is not holding back on anything good, so it's better for us to stay away from her."
Niu Guifang nodded in agreement, "I was just about to tell you! Not only should we stay away from her, but Fu Qi and Lao Xiao should also stay away from her.
"Look at her, she doesn't look like a decent person. She's dressed like that, how can she be a working person?"
It’s almost tempting!
Most women of this era, especially military wives, have bold personalities.
Considering the mainstream aesthetic of that era, it is completely understandable that Niu Guifang looks down on Zhao Manman's dress.
Niu Guifang was indeed right about one thing. Zhao Manman was indeed seductive, but the person she wanted to seduce was the second company commander Chen Guofu.
Xiao Aiguo and Fu Wenjing should not be within Zhao Manman's consideration.
The two talked as they walked, and soon they returned to the door of their house and went home.
After entering the house, Su Runrun told Wang Maoni about Zhao Manman, also to let Wang Maoni be prepared so that she would not see someone she didn't know in the yard and get into another conflict.
The situation is unclear now, so it is not suitable to confront Zhao Manman directly.
Su Ruanruan did not exaggerate when she spoke, she was just stating the facts, but Wang Maoni still frowned as she listened.
