Chapter 667 (Page 1/2)
After Lin Man attended the graduation banquets of He Zetao and He Shiyu, time passed quickly and a week went by in the blink of an eye.
During this week, Lin Man has been busy preparing for the trip.
Finally, the day of departure arrived. She boarded the train to Hai City with her elderly grandfather and four lovely children.
Meanwhile, Song Jingjing had already returned home with her precious daughter Huo Anran five days earlier. Even though Xiao Ya knew she was back, she didn't bother them.
Originally everything was going on in an orderly manner, but as the New Year was approaching, Tang Xue became more and more anxious.
Tang Xue thought about how she was almost twenty years old, yet she still hadn't found a suitable partner. This situation made her extremely anxious, and she wanted to go home for the New Year to settle her marriage first.
So, she mustered up the courage to find Song Jingjing and said sincerely, "Sister Jingjing, I'll be twenty after this year! I'd like to take a leave to go home for the New Year. Is that okay?"
Hearing this, Song Jingjing showed an expression of disbelief. She stared at Tang Xue in surprise and asked, "Xiaoxue, you actually want to go back for the New Year? Then who will help take care of the twins at home?"
We agreed on this at the beginning! You helped me raise my two children until they could walk. They are only six months old now. If you leave, what will I do? "
Tang Xue's originally haggard face was now shrouded in deep sorrow, and her eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness.
She sighed softly and said to Song Jingjing in front of her, "Sister Jingjing, look at my age. I'm not young anymore. If I don't hurry up and find a suitable partner, I'm afraid I'll never get married!
As for me, I'm just looking for a blind date when I go back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I will definitely come back to help you take care of the children."
Hearing this, Song Jingjing's eyes widened immediately, and she retorted anxiously, "How can that be? If you leave, where can I find a nanny as caring and reliable as you who can take care of children?"
"Xiaoxue, didn't I tell you that I've already raised your salary to 30 yuan a month? Are you still dissatisfied with this treatment?"
Although her salary increased, her workload increased! Tang Xue muttered to herself, of course she had many things she was dissatisfied with.
Not to mention that in addition to taking care of the children wholeheartedly every day, I also have to take care of tedious housework such as buying groceries, cooking and cleaning.
What's even more outrageous is that even Song Jingjing's underwear was thrown to her for cleaning. She really didn't want to keep being Song Jingjing's servant like this.
Thinking of this, Tang Xue couldn't help but recall what Liao Sijie said about when she was taking care of Lin Man's child.
Liao Sijie said that when she was taking care of Lin Man's children, Lin Man would take the initiative to buy new clothes for Liao Sijie every quarter, and the workload Liao Sijie undertook at that time was far less than what she did.
Not only that, Liao Sijie had told her many times that Lin Man was very generous and much more hardworking than Song Jingjing.
As a nanny, Liao Sijie had delicious meals every day, and she also had plenty of fruit and snacks. Lin Man had never asked Liao Sijie to wash her underwear.
Not to mention that Lin Man and her husband's underwear has never been washed by outsiders, sometimes when Liao Sijie is too busy, she even takes the initiative to wash the children's clothes.
Liao Sijie had boasted to her several times that she was now working like a slave for Song Jingjing. Every time Tang Xue thought of this, her dissatisfaction grew stronger.
The most important thing is that Lin Man will not lose her temper with Liao Sijie easily, but when Song Jingjing breaks down while taking care of the children, she will scold the children and sometimes scold her, saying that she is clumsy.
"Sister Jingjing, I beg you, please let me go back for just a week. I'll definitely come back right after that! Okay? Please be flexible and let me go back for just these few days!"
Tang Xue pleaded with a bitter face, and her look was so heartbreaking.
However, facing Tang Xue's earnest request, Song Jingjing remained unmoved and refused with an extremely firm attitude:
"No, Xiaoxue, I mean no! If you don't ask for leave during the Chinese New Year this year, not only will I give you a big red envelope with ten yuan in it, but I'll also personally make you a brand new, beautiful cotton-padded jacket! How's that? Isn't that nice?"
After hearing this, Tang Xue shook her head desperately, her eyes reddening. She choked up and said, "Sister Jingjing, I really don't want that red envelope. I just want to go home and have a blind date. Can't you even agree to such a small request?"
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Huo Qingyan happened to walk in.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Tang Xue say she was going on a blind date. He couldn't help but feel very surprised and asked quickly, "Xiaoxue is going on a blind date? What's going on?"
Seeing Huo Qingyan appear, Tang Xue felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She hurried to his side, looked at him pitifully, and begged:
"Cousin-in-law, could you please help me talk to Sister Jingjing? I just want to take a few days off during the New Year to go back to my hometown to find a blind date. I will be back to work on the fifth day of the New Year. Is that okay?"

Huo Qingyan frowned slightly when he heard this and began to think secretly in his heart.
He really couldn't understand why Tang Xue suddenly insisted on going back home for the New Year, when everything was normal before!
Could it be that Song Jingjing said something harsh that made Tang Xue unhappy?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly comforted Tang Xue: "Xiaoxue, don't worry. Did Jingjing say something that made you unhappy just now?
She might have been bothered by the kids lately, so she's a little mad. But don't take it personally, she's really doing this for your own good."
Tang Xue shook her head repeatedly, "No, cousin-in-law, my cousin didn't scold me. I just thought that I'm not young anymore. Girls my age have already had children, but I don't even have a partner..."
I'm thinking of taking a few days back home for the New Year, going on a blind date before the New Year and settling the wedding date, and then having the wedding banquet next National Day."
Huo Qingyan couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he saw Tang Xue in front of him, who had a face full of grievance, red eyes and tears almost bursting out.
Looking at the pitiful Tang Xue, Huo Qingyan couldn't bring himself to reject her request outright. However, if he agreed, who would take care of his adorable twins?
For a moment, Huo Qingyan was caught in a dilemma, feeling extremely conflicted and hesitant.
At this moment, Song Jingjing, who was originally standing aside holding the child, suddenly gently placed the child in her arms in the cradle, then rushed forward, raised her hand and slapped Tang Xue's cheek mercilessly.
There was a crisp "pop" sound and the whole room fell silent in an instant.
"Tang Xue, you really don't know what's good for you! If I hadn't asked you to help me look after the kids for my mom's sake, you'd be playing in the mud in who knows where right now!"
Song Jingjing's face was filled with anger as she glared at Tang Xue fiercely, as if she had a deep hatred for her.
Tang Xue was stunned by the sudden slap. She subconsciously covered her burning and painful cheeks with both hands, her eyes full of disbelief and anger.
She never thought that she would be treated so rudely just because she wanted to ask for leave.
Moreover, no matter what, everyone is more or less related. How could Song Jingjing be so harsh?
Tang Xue was so angry that her whole body was shaking, and her chest was heaving violently like surging waves. Her pretty face turned red, and her eyes were blazing with rage. It was obvious that she was furious to the extreme.
Huo Qingyan was also stunned by this scene. He had never expected that Song Jingjing, who was always gentle and dignified, would actually attack someone like a madman.
At this moment, he even wondered if he was hallucinating or if Song Jingjing had suddenly lost her mind.
Just when Huo Qingyan was about to speak to dissuade her, Tang Xue suddenly released her hands that were covering her cheeks, rushed to Song Jingjing, raised her right hand without hesitation, and slapped Song Jingjing twice with two loud and crisp slaps in the face.
You know, Tang Xue is a native rural girl. She has been working in the fields since she was a child. All kinds of farm work are just a daily routine for her.
Long-term physical labor not only tempered her tenacious will, but also gave her strength far beyond that of an ordinary person. In comparison, the pampered Song Jingjing seemed much weaker.
After Tang Xue slapped her twice, Song Jingjing felt dizzy, her ears were ringing and her eyes were swirling. She flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
"Song Jingjing, no one has ever dared to touch me since I was a child! How dare you hit me today? That's simply too much!
As the saying goes, 'If someone respects me one foot, I will respect him ten feet; if someone bullies me three points, I will return them one point.' Since you were unkind first, don't blame me for being unjust!"
After Tang Xue finished her roar, she rushed into the room like an agile cheetah and began to pack her luggage in a hurry.
Huo Qingyan on the side was completely dumbfounded. He stood there blankly, his mind blank, and he didn't even have time to figure out what was going on.
When he finally woke up from his dream, he found that his wife's originally fair and tender cheeks were now swollen, like a ripe peach, which looked shocking.
At this moment, a sharp and piercing scream suddenly rang out: "Ah~!" It turned out that Song Jingjing had finally recovered from the blow just now.
She covered her swollen face, tears streaming down her face, and she kept cursing Tang Xue.
This scream was so loud that Huo Yichen and Huo Yingzi, who were playing in the room, were frightened instantly and rushed out of the room in panic.
At the same time, the twin sisters sleeping in the cradle were frightened by Song Jingjing's sudden scream and started crying loudly.
For a moment, the whole living room was in chaos, with crying and shouting sounds coming one after another, it was very lively.
