Chapter 671 (Page 1/2)
Song Jingjing rushed back home anxiously, beads of sweat the size of beans on her forehead sliding down her cheeks. She gasped for breath and shouted loudly: "Huo Qingyan! Huo Qingyan!" However, the only response she got was an empty room and silence.
She rushed to Liao Sijie in two steps, her eyes filled with anxiety and confusion, and asked impatiently, "Sijie, have you seen Qingyan come back?"
Liao Sijie shook her head slightly, her brows furrowed, and answered with an equally bewildered look, "No, didn't he take your Zizi to the hospital to treat her wounds? Did you miss her on the way?"
Song Jingjing took a deep breath, calmed her nervousness, and then quickly said, "When I rushed to the hospital, my daughter's head injury had already been treated.
Later, Huo Qingyan said he would go to the carport to ride a bicycle to take us back, so I waited for them at the hospital entrance. But who would have thought that he would just ride his bicycle away alone without even looking back!
When she said this, Song Jingjing's eyes turned slightly red and her voice trembled unconsciously.
Before she finished speaking, Tang Xue walked into the living room with an expressionless face. She seemed to completely ignore Song Jingjing and Liao Sijie standing nearby. She walked straight to the luggage bag in the corner, bent down to pick it up, and without saying a word, she picked up the bag and walked out the door.
Seeing this, Liao Sijie secretly cried out in her heart that something was wrong. She quickly stuffed the child in her arms into Song Jingjing's hands, then rushed forward, tightly grasped Tang Xue's arm, and asked anxiously:
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing? Why are you leaving so suddenly? Is there anything you can't discuss with your cousin?"
Liao Sijie blinked quickly at Song Jingjing, but Song Jingjing seemed not to notice at all and sat down with her little girl in her arms.
Seeing this, Liao Sijie couldn't help but feel anxious, so she asked Tang Xue again:
"Xiaoxue, look at how hard it is for your sister Jingjing to take care of two children alone! Why don't you help out a little longer and don't leave in such a hurry?"
When Tang Xue heard Liao Sijie say this, she suddenly felt unhappy.
She frowned slightly and responded with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Sister Sijie, didn't you help your cousin-in-law take care of the children before?
Since you are so experienced, why don't you come and help your second cousin's wife take care of the children. Besides, you live next door so close to their house, and you have always been good at taking care of children.
When Liao Sijie heard this, her face instantly darkened. She wondered in her heart, what exactly did Tang Xue mean?
Is he making fun of myself for having helped other people take care of their children in the past?
But now I already have several children to take care of at home, so how can I have the energy and time to help other people take care of their children?
What's more, she married a very outstanding husband and didn't need to rely on working as a nanny to earn money to support the family.
Thinking of this, Liao Sijie's eyes became sharper and she stared straight at Tang Xue, as if she wanted to see some clues from her expression.
"Xiaoxue, I was babysitting my cousin's wife's kids back then, and my salary went from 20 to 25 yuan. Yours got 30, so why did you quit? Why did you suddenly want to go back?"
Tang Xue slightly raised her willow-leaf-like eyebrows, her eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness, and said to Liao Sijie: "Sister Sijie, although my salary has increased a bit now, I am still responsible for all the big and small chores at home!

It's not like what you told me before, that you help your cousin's wife take care of the children, and your life would be so easy and comfortable.
Moreover, every quarter your cousin's wife will not only sew beautiful clothes for you, but during the Chinese New Year she will even give you an extra month's wages!"
At this point, Tang Xue couldn't help but sigh softly and continued to complain: "You always talk about how generous your cousin's wife is and how gentle and kind she is.
You even said that if you weren't getting married, you would have been willing to take care of your cousin's children for a few more years...
Alas, what a different fate for different people! Look at my miserable fate. I tried my best to help my cousin take care of the children, but in the end, I ended up being beaten and scolded..."
At this moment, Song Jingjing, who was standing by, saw Tang Xue ruthlessly exposing her shortcomings. She immediately became furious and her face flushed red. She roared in anger:
"That's enough! Shut your stinky mouth! If you don't want to stay here, get out of here!"
Facing Song Jingjing's angry rebuke, Tang Xue just snorted coldly and responded with disdain:
"Hmph, look at you, you're completely crazy! Fine, in that case, I don't want this month's wages anymore. Just consider it alms and use it for your medical treatment!"
After saying that, Tang Xue quickly reached out and grabbed the luggage bag beside her, then took big strides without hesitation and walked straight out the door without looking back.
As soon as Tang Xue left, Liao Sijie quickly pulled her son to sit down with her. Her eyes fell on Song Jingjing, who was silently shedding tears, and she asked with concern:
"Cousin, what's going on? Why are you and Tang Xue having a conflict? Could it be that she's still not satisfied and wants a further raise?"
Song Jingjing sobbed and choked as she replied, "That ungrateful girl is such an ungrateful person! If I hadn't kindly asked her to help me look after my child, I'm afraid she'd still be suffering in that remote village right now!"
Hearing this, Liao Sijie couldn't help but frown and asked doubtfully, "Then why would she suddenly want to leave? There can't be no reason at all, right?"
Song Jingjing wiped away her tears fiercely and said indignantly, "She said she was old and anxious to find a partner and start a family.
She even dreamed of hitting on my brother-in-law before. She was really a toad wanting to eat swan meat! My brother-in-law is a prestigious university student. How could he possibly be interested in a country girl like her?
She has no looks, no education, and no family background at all..."
When she got excited, Song Jingjing's words were like a machine gun, and she kept listing all the faults of Tang Xue.
Liao Sijie thought Song Jingjing was funny. Although Tang Xue was just an ordinary village girl with a plain appearance, at least she didn't have that shocking scar on her face, which made her look a little more pleasing to the eye than Song Jingjing.
Let’s talk about Song Jingjing. This woman is just lucky. She relies on the fact that she has a powerful and good father.
Everyone knows that her mother was also from the countryside. If she had not been lucky enough to marry her father, with Song Jingjing's scarred face and extremely ordinary figure, it would have been difficult for her to even find a husband!
