"Hongdou, you are such a good person. I feel much more relieved after hearing your words." Aunt Wang nervously gave An Hongdou a good person card, and then said with embarrassment: "It is said that people's hearts are rewarded with people's hearts. You and your wife are both good people. I have been staying in your house for almost half a year. I can also feel your kindness to us, so I also take care of these children as my own children..."
"Aunt Wang, if you have anything to say, just say it." After saying this, the smile on An Hongdou's face disappeared.
The more she listened, the more she felt that something was not right with what she said.
Aunt Wang looked embarrassed. "It's like this. You know, I'm a widow who raised my son. Now my son goes out to work every day. Caixiang and I are lucky to have met a master like you, so we can get a salary to supplement the family expenses. But...if Caixiang gives birth to a child, not only will someone need to take care of her during the confinement period, but we will also have to go out to work later, and the child will also be a problem..."
Aunt Wang looked a little embarrassed, as if there were some things she was not able to say.
But when it came to this, An Hongdou had already understood the general idea.
Since she couldn't say it, An Hongdou could only speak for her, "Don't worry about this, Aunt Wang. You mean that after Caixiang gives birth, she will have to stay at home to take care of the baby and won't have time to come here? It doesn't matter. Although I need people here, you still have to focus on your own affairs. If Caixiang doesn't have time, don't come."
An Hongdou was too embarrassed to say that Sun Caixiang said she came to work, but in fact, not only did she come late and leave early, but she also simply didn't come from time to time.
Even if her family doesn't need any help now, she is here to work, not on vacation. If she really has difficulties and doesn't want to come to work, she should at least tell her. How can she just not come?
If it weren't for the fact that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still considerate of their three children before breaking up, An Hongdou would have long since been unable to tolerate them.
"No, that's not what I want to say." Seeing An Hongdou say it on her own initiative, Aunt Wang also panicked.
"It's not this, what else does Aunt Wang want to say?"
An Hongdou stood there with an exceptionally calm look in her eyes. Unfortunately, Aunt Wang was so absorbed in her own messy thoughts that she didn't notice the coldness emanating from her.
"It's like this. Our family is not well off and we really need this job. I was thinking, can I wait for Caixiang to give birth and let her bring the child here? It doesn't matter if it's just one child or four children at a time. If nothing else, at least she can help out during the day and look after me so I can do other things and not cause any trouble for the children..."
Aunt Wang's voice became smaller and smaller. Perhaps she herself knew how ridiculous her words were. "Even if...even if the salary is a little less, it doesn't matter..."
After she finished speaking, she saw that An Hongdou hadn't spoken, so she looked up.
This sight gave her a bad feeling.
To Aunt Wang, An Hongdou used to be very easy to talk to and didn't care much about gains and losses. She probably knew that it was purely for the sake of the children.
But people who have been discriminated against for a long time will always habitually think that they are always a little special.
Even if some things the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law do are not so pleasing to people, An Hongdou can tolerate it as long as they do their best for the children.
But once this request was put forward, I have to say that it was too good a plan, too good to be true, and it was no longer tolerable.
"Aunt Wang..."
As soon as An Hongdou said this, her heart suddenly tightened.
Suddenly, I felt regretful that I had said such ungrateful words.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
An Hongdou said, "I have to find a nanny for my family because I have to go to school, not because I have to find an ancestor for myself, do you understand?"
She always thought that if she treated them better, they would treat the children better. Some appropriate material things and kindness could be exchanged for their more attentive care of the children, which would be worth it.
But she ignored the fact that some people tend to take advantage of the situation.
If she treats her well, she will be grateful at first, but as time goes by, she will think it is her due.
An Hongdou didn't say anything extra, but Aunt Wang couldn't calm down.
Until An Hongdou came down from upstairs again, holding a bag in her hand, and handed it directly to Aunt Wang, "Anyway, you have helped me take care of the baby for half a year. I promised you these two kilograms of brown sugar, as well as your salary. Although Caixiang has always been late and back early, and she hasn't come for nearly half a month this month, I will give her a full month's salary for this month because it is not easy for her to be pregnant. Aunt Wang, no matter what, I have to thank you for the past six months. Your grandson is about to be born, and I guess you won't be able to leave in the future. I don't need any help here for the time being, so you should go home and concentrate on serving Caixiang."
An Hongdou's words were quite polite. She didn't deduct any money from her, but gave her more instead, considering that she had helped her solve her difficulties in the past six months.
Aunt Wang didn't expect this to be the result.
Not only did Sun Caixiang lose her job, she also lost her
Aunt Wang was so scared that she almost cried. "Hongdou, I know I am too greedy. You can't fire me. It's not easy to find a job. I am already at this age, and my family is going to have another child soon. If I lose my job at this time, it will be the end of me!"
An Hongdou didn't care about that and stuffed the money directly into Aunt Wang's hand. "Aunt Wang, don't blame me for not keeping you. Our family conditions are not that good. My husband has to work to support Changyue and me to go to school, and we have to raise three children at home. If we are not really busy, we can't find a nanny. Look, my sister-in-law from my hometown is here. She doesn't have a job either. She is willing to help me take care of the children temporarily. We really don't need anyone at home right now, so you should find another job."
An Hongdou's words were very absolute. She was cautious when using them, so she was tolerant in some aspects. Now that she doesn't plan to use them anymore, there is nothing to be cautious about.
Maybe she was just overthinking it, but she still wanted to try her best to prevent problems before they happen.
She had just said that she wanted to find someone else, and when Aunt Wang suggested that Sun Caixiang come over despite her pregnancy, she didn't want to agree.
What she needed was someone who could help her with work, not to open a relief station. She agreed to the deal out of consideration for her three children at home.
Sun Caixiang was fine when she first came, but later she became more and more demanding, and even stopped coming. If she were working in a factory, this would be considered absenteeism.
