Qiao Yunnan's appearance was beyond everyone's expectations, and the most panicked was Yu.
Chen Qiang and Qiao Yunnan grew up together. When Chen Qiang left, he entrusted Xiao Taozi to Qiao Yunnan's care. So, besides Chen Qiang, Qiao Yunnan is the only one in the village who has the right to arrange Xiao Taozi's whereabouts?
Qiao Yunnan squatted down and looked at the tearful Xiao Taozi, and comforted her gently, "Xiao Taozi, tell me where you want to go. Don't be afraid. With your brother here, no one dares to bully you!"
Xiao Taozi knew that Qiao had just asked her to go back with him out of anger, but...
Xiao Taozi looked at Qiao Yunnan, then at Qiao, and then turned her gaze to Yu, who had a cold look in her eyes and said nothing. As a teenager, she had been defrauded, oppressed and beaten for a long time, and she had no idea what to do.
“I…I…”
"Xiao Taozi, come with me. I'm busy on weekdays. Can you help me take care of Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin? I'll give you fifty coins a day, okay?"
From what Yu said just now, Jiang Xueying concluded that Xiao Taozi's punishment might be related to the two children. Although she didn't like to meddle in other people's business, she would definitely take care of this matter today.
Xiao Taozi raised her head in shock and looked at Jiang Xueying in disbelief. Fifty cents?
The villagers nearby were also shocked. How much? Fifty coins? This... On weekdays, an adult man would only get thirty coins for a day's work. Jiang Xueying asked for fifty coins right away. Is this true?
Jiang Xueying's current income is more than this, so she naturally thinks that this is just normal expenses.
"On weekdays, you just need to help take care of the two children when I'm not around, and you don't have to do anything else!"
"Silly girl, why don't you reply quickly!"
Qiao knew that Jiang Xueying would not ignore it, and she couldn't help but be happy for Xiao Taozi when she heard this. Now that Qiao Yunnan had spoken, no one dared to stop Xiao Taozi from leaving the Chen family.
"I……"
Xiao Taozi was still a little bit unbelieving. She looked back at Qiao Yunnan beside her, and nodded after receiving his encouraging look.
"Sister Jiang, I...I am willing. I will definitely work hard!"
Jiang Xueying turned around and saw Yu, who looked eager and did not raise any objection. Naturally, she knew what she was planning. According to the current situation, even if Xiao Taozi took the money, Yu would definitely have some plans. Isn't she just giving the money to Yu?
"However, you must take the wages I give you yourself. If I give it to your sister-in-law, I won't need you anymore!"
Jiang Xueying didn't wait for anyone else to speak before turning to look at the village chief. "Village chief, please be a witness!"
The village chief naturally understood what Jiang Xueying meant and nodded immediately, "Of course!"
But Yu was so anxious that she immediately retorted, "Jiang Xueying, what do you mean? Xiao Taozi can spend her own money however she wants and give it to whomever she wants. Why do you restrict her?"
Jiang Xueying sneered at Yu's indignant expression, "I spent the money, I hired the people, this is my condition, what's wrong?"
Qiao, who was standing by, also quickly brainwashed Xiao Taozi, "Yes, Xiao Taozi, you are grown up now, and you know in your heart how others treat you. If you don't want to be bullied, you have to take charge of your own future, understand?"
Xiao Taozi's eyes lit up, and she nodded as if she understood. After a long while, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Xueying firmly, "Sister Jiang, I agree!"
Seeing that she had figured it out, Jiang Xueying nodded with satisfaction. Although she could solve Xiao Taozi's problem temporarily, she could not solve it for a lifetime. It would be best if she could figure it out herself.
"You stinky girl, you are simply outrageous!"
This made Yu very angry. She angrily grabbed a stick from the side and rushed towards Xiao Taozi, but before she got close, she was grabbed by Qiao Yunnan.
With a "snap" sound, the stick in Yu's hand broke.
"Yu, what are you doing? If you do this again, I will ask Chen Qiang to come back and divorce you immediately. Our village does not welcome unreasonable shrews!"
The village chief was also furious. Seeing Yu was about to beat Xiao Taozi in front of him, he made some harsh remarks.
With the intimidation from Qiao Yunnan and the village chief, Yu restrained himself a little, but his eyes were staring at Jiang Xueying and Xiao Taozi fiercely, as if he wanted to skin them alive.
But Jiang Xueying simply ignored her gaze. It was the first time that Xiao Taozi was not afraid of her gaze and faced it bravely.
Qiao pulled Xiao Taozi distressedly, "Okay, Xiao Taozi, let's go and leave her here alone!"
A few people were too lazy to stay here and turned around and left.
Yu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. As soon as they left the house, she slammed the door.
When Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin came back in the afternoon, they were surprised to see that the yard was cleaned up. Then they saw Xiao Taozi coming out of the inner room with a basin of water. They were stunned and said, "Sister Taozi, why are you in my house?"
Xiao Taozi was a little embarrassed, "I...I..."
Before Xiao Taozi could finish her words, Ye Xiaoyu pulled her into the house, quickly pulled her to sit down, and took out candy from the drawer and gave it to her, "Sister Taozi, have some candy!"
This was the first time that Xiao Taozi touched candy. In the past, she had only seen it and heard other children say that it tasted sweet. She didn't know what sweet was, she just knew that it tasted good. But when she remembered that she was invited back by Jiang Xueying to help, she immediately put the candy on the table.
"I...I don't want to eat it, you guys eat it!"
"Sister Taozi, just eat it. There's still a lot in the drawer. Mom doesn't let us eat too much on weekdays!"
Ye Xiaojin also ran over and stuffed the candy into Xiao Taozi's arms again, looking so cute with a smile on her face.
A few children were talking when Jiang Xueying and Yu came out from the inner room. Little Taozi was so scared that she stood up quickly. She felt that the candy in her hand was like a hot potato. She couldn't take it or throw it away!
Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin shouted "Mom" happily. Ye Xiaojin even threw himself beside Jiang Xueying's legs and said with a smile, "Mom, why did you come back so early today?"
Not only did she come back early, she didn't go out at all today.
But Jiang Xueying still touched Ye Xiaojin's head and answered with a smile, "Today, Mom went out to find a companion for you. From now on, let Xiao Taozi live in our house, okay?"
Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaojin had already heard Jiang Xueying's thoughts. They looked at each other knowingly, then smiled and answered in unison, "Of course, it was Sister Taozi who saved us last time!"
Jiang Xueying then realized that this was the origin of the relationship between Xiao Taozi and the two children, but as long as they got along well, it was enough.
Even though Xiao Taozi is only in her teens, she knows a lot and can easily take care of two children. Jiang Xueying is very relieved about this.
