Shu Ying is already struggling enough taking care of two children on her own. If a nanny who only makes things worse comes along, won't the house be in complete chaos?
Huang Meiling didn't even dare to think about how broken Shu Ying had become, and quickly arranged Ding Rumei's whereabouts for tomorrow.
"Let's forget about it. Having two kids at home might be too much for you. I'll make some arrangements. If it really doesn't work out, you can go back tomorrow and I'll see what's best for you. That's all for now."
Huang Meiling hung up the phone before Ding Rumei could react.
Thinking of her last words, Ding Rumei stomped her feet in anger.
Her head was buzzing and she was seeing stars.
"I've come all this way, and now you want me to go back? Does your family just enjoy making things difficult for people?"
This is absolutely outrageous!
It's clearly all Shu Ying's fault, so why is it that she's the one who has to go back to the countryside now?
I wish I hadn't made that call.
Ding Rumei covered her chest with one hand, feeling so angry that her breasts started to ache.
This was all so different from what she had imagined.
"If I just slink back to the countryside like this, won't I be laughed at to death?"
Ding Rumei reluctantly put the phone back in its original place, pushed open the door of the phone booth with one hand, and felt increasingly suffocated by the anger she was holding in.
She kicked away a small pebble at her feet. Xie Wanying happened to be coming out of the hospital, looking at her pregnancy test results. All the items were normal, so normal that she wasn't even pregnant.
She crumpled the form into a ball in her hand, feeling a little short of breath.
"That good-for-nothing Fang Deshan has been trying to get me pregnant for so long and still hasn't succeeded. I don't know how many pills I've taken over the years. The problem is clearly not with me. You hypocritical bastard!"
A year ago, she suggested that Fang Deshan also go to the hospital for a checkup, but he insisted that he had no problems and that it was a matter of male dignity. Over time, the two had argued about this several times, but in the end he still refused to compromise, so Xie Wanying had no choice but to give up.
She touched her flat stomach with one hand and couldn't help but worry: "Why am I so useless? How am I going to explain to my family if I can't get pregnant?"
She can only keep it a secret for now, but she can't keep it a secret forever. When the time comes for the child to be born, she won't be pregnant, and this charade will probably be hard to end.
Fang Deshan is already so happy just knowing she's pregnant. If he's disappointed in the end, he might actually kill her.
Xie Wanying felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it, but the scene that day had put her in a very difficult position, and she had no better excuse than being pregnant.
"Xie Wanying, Xie Wanying, what will you say when other people's bellies are already showing?"
Looking at the road beneath her feet, she felt it was becoming more and more winding and bumpy.
Everything was going smoothly until Shu Ying arrived here, and then everything started to change.
If she can't conceive a child with the Fang family soon, their divorce is probably only a matter of time.
Xie Wanying raised her head and made her gaze firm: "Shu Ying, since you insist on making things difficult for me, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
She didn't have much time left. If there was still no sign of pregnancy after two months, she would have no choice but to let Shu Ying kill the "child" at the right time.
That way, she can both extricate herself and shift the blame onto Shu Ying, a win-win situation.
Xie Wanying was plotting something when she turned her head and saw Ding Rumei. A small pebble rolled to a stop at her feet.
Xie Wanying looked even more annoyed: "Why did this country bumpkin come here?"
The two had met once before, about ten years ago. Xie Wanying disliked Ding Rumei's country girl-like manners, and Ding Rumei also disliked her aloof and superior attitude.
The two people disliked each other intensely, yet they somehow ended up together.
Xie Wanying turned to leave, but then she remembered that Ding Rumei wouldn't just appear here for no reason, so she quickly walked back.
"What a coincidence! It's been so many years since we last met. I wonder how my cousin suddenly appeared here."
Ding Rumei also disliked Xie Wanying, so she naturally didn't speak to her kindly, venting all the anger she had just received from Huang Meiling on her.
"What does it matter to you why I'm here? I heard you've been married for years and still haven't had a child. You'd be better off spending your time taking care of yourself, instead of being a barren hen that can't lay eggs, so that people will eventually divorce you."
If word got out, who would want a woman who can't have children?
Xie Wanying felt a lump in her throat; that damned woman!
What she hates most is people nagging about her inability to have children.
Just thinking that Ding Rumei was also in the compound and might come in handy, Xie Wanying suppressed her good mood and smiled.
"Cousin, I was just talking to you normally, and I didn't mean anything by it. Where did you get this temper? I thought you might be here to make money. It's not easy working for someone else. I was going to give you some advice on how to make money, but it seems you don't need it now."
People from the countryside have never seen anything good in the capital, and everything seems strange to them. Xie Wanying knew that Ding Rumei loved to take advantage of small things and would treat even the smallest things as rare treasures.
After she finished speaking, she didn't leave in a hurry, but looked Ding Rumei up and down.
The other person only had two long braids, and their hair looked like dry straw. Their jacket was patched, so they probably had just come from the countryside not long ago.
"Cousin, I see you're a bit short on cash, aren't you? You're new here and don't have much money. Don't you want to earn more?"
In fact, Xie Wanying had already guessed Ding Rumei when she came over. Perhaps she was the person her parents had asked to help Shuying take care of her child.
She had heard about it in the past two days. The two old folks felt that it was inconvenient for Shu Ying to take care of two children and Xie Zhiyan by herself, so they specially found a reliable person from their hometown to come over.
Unexpectedly, the so-called reliable person turned out to be Ding Rumei.
