Chapter 225 Applying for a Nanny
Zhang Fanxi: "Why are they all Chinese?"
Cheng Wanjin: "Why is that? It's because the locals are lazy. They're either lazy and greedy or addicted to gambling. No normal local people are willing to do hard physical work like logging. But the wages are high. A skilled logger can usually earn around $2,000 a month. Compared to other industries here, which only pay $500 a month, it's not too high, okay?"
Zhang Fanxi: "High wages usually come with high risks. Look at those dozens of lumberjacks who lost their lives. If they knew this would be their fate, they wouldn't do it even if the wife gave them $10,000."
Cheng Wanjin: "Bullshit! The families of those lumberjacks received their pensions and kept introducing their relatives and friends to come and do this!"
Zhang Fanxi shook his head: "They really only care about money and not their lives. Seeing more than a dozen of their own lumberjacks being killed, that wife really can't swallow this breath."
Cheng Wanjin: "I can't bear it, but the drug traffickers saw that their family was disunited without Duanmu, the backbone of the family, so they wanted to attack their family first because they wanted to interfere with the logging business."
Zhang Fanxi: "Don't they say they need government approval? Even if they can get the timber, I don't think they can transport it out."
Cheng Wanjin: "I can tell from your words that you're a newcomer. Myanmar has well-developed waterways and many mountains, so smuggling is a piece of cake for drug traffickers. And once the timber is shipped out, made into furniture and sold all over the world, there's no telling how much they've made. Who wouldn't want to do such a lucrative business?"
Zhang Fanxi: "I see you don't want to do it!"
Cheng Wanjin: "That's because we Chinese are smart and know how to make a living. We must not compete with the Burmese and drug traffickers for business, understand? Don't even mention this matter again."
Zhang Fanxi: "Should we still visit Master Duanmu?"
Cheng Wanjin: "Of course I have to pay my respects, but now you have only heard the news. I guess the real person hasn't returned yet. I will definitely take you to visit him when he sends the invitation."
Zhang Fanxi: "Then it's a deal."
Ever since Mingli followed the drug dealers up the mountain, Junlan's life has become increasingly difficult. The worst thing is that she found out that she was pregnant with Yang Ning's child. Unfortunately, she didn't realize she was pregnant when she was in China and didn't have time to tell Yang Ning and Mingli. But now her belly is becoming more and more obvious, and her body is becoming heavier and heavier.
We are all women and we all know the difficulties women face. After seeing Junlan become pregnant, Aunt Pang and other women in the village came to her house more and more frequently, often bringing her delicious food, helping her take care of Lele and Didi, and taking care of her vegetable fields and the rooster in the backyard.
One day, Junlan was picking vegetables in the fields and preparing to cook for her children when she accidentally fell. Although the soft soil didn't hurt the child, it still caused her miscarriage. Her stomach began to hurt violently. The child was only seven months old and not yet full-term! She struggled to her feet but found that her feet were bleeding. She hurriedly stumbled to Aunt Pang's house, pointed at her stomach, and screamed "Ahhh!"
As soon as the fat aunt saw the blood at her feet, she knew something was wrong. She quickly sent her husband away and said, "Damn it, my mute sister is about to give birth. Hurry up and boil a pot of water and bring me a pair of red-hot scissors."
Her husband did not dare to delay for a moment and did as he was told.
Junlan was lying on the bed in excruciating pain. She could only hold the fat aunt's hand tightly and moan in agony.
Aunt Fat has to look down from time to time.
"Dumb girl, come on, try harder. I can already see the child's head. Just a little harder and he'll come out."
Jun Lan endured the pain. She knew that Yang Ning and she wanted this child very much, and she would definitely keep this child no matter how hard it was.
She gritted her teeth and pushed with all her strength, and the baby's cry of "wa wa wa wa" finally rang out. By this time, Jun Lan was exhausted and fell on the bed, unable to move.
Auntie Fatty was the happiest person. She held the child to Junlan and said, "Mute sister, you are so lucky to have given birth to another son."
Jun Lan looked at the crying baby and couldn't help shedding tears. She poked the baby's face with her finger and thought to herself, "I finally gave birth to you after so much trouble. It's a pity that your father and brother are not by your side."
Seeing her crying, the fat aunt comforted her: "Don't be afraid, dumb sister, and don't cry anymore. Even if there is no man by your side, we sisters will help you raise this child together. Hey, even if I say it, you can't hear me."
When everyone heard that Junlan had given birth, they all came to visit her and brought her a lot of baby necessities.
As for Achai, he had already been driven out of the village by Uncle Yao because he colluded with drug dealers and entered the village.
Junlan was thinking about naming the baby while breastfeeding him.
At this time, the fat aunt shouted beside her: "So cool, so cool, so cool."
Although Jun Lan didn't know what she meant, she still found it very funny. Suddenly, an idea came to her and she decided to call him Yang Shuang!
She wanted to tell Mingli the news, but she didn't know how to inform him.
A month later, Junlan finally finished her confinement. Although the villagers often helped her family, they were still penniless as they could not afford to support their family. It was not a solution to continue like this with more and more people in the family. She had to find a way to support her family.
One day, Junlan went to the market with her sisters in the village and saw a piece of paper with Burmese and Chinese characters on it. It said that Sudaron, the daughter-in-law of the Duanmu family, had given birth to a son and now needed a nanny to take care of him for 500 US dollars a month. Junlan was very moved by the news. She tore off the paper and the next day she brought several children and the paper to the gate of the Duanmu family to wait for a job interview.
When she first arrived at Duanmu's house, she was really a little scared by her husband's family. The grandeur of their villa was comparable to that of the Nangong family.
However, the butler seemed to dislike Junlan a little because he disliked her because she was deaf and dumb, but as part of his duty, he still brought Junlan to the hostess Su Dalong.
When they first met, Sudalong gave Junlan the impression of being strong. Junlan thought she was at least 50 years old. But today, she saw that the grandmother was only in her early 40s at most. She was dressed in jewels but not vulgar or traditional. The Burmese clothes she wore were embroidered with gorgeous gold threads and gems, which made Junlan mesmerized for a moment.
The strange thing is that Su Dalong actually said in Chinese: "You are here to apply for the job of nanny."
Jun Lan was stunned for a moment.
The housekeeper pulled Junlan's arm and said, "Why are you in a daze? Grandma is asking you a question."
Jun Lan quickly came to her senses, pointing at her throat and uttering "ah ah" twice.
Sudalong: "She is mute"
The housekeeper said: "She is probably deaf and dumb. Grandma, why don't we just give her some money and send her away."
Su Dalong: "It's easy for you to say that. If even she leaves, who will take care of the young master?"
Housekeeper: "Didn't a few Burmese women come to apply for the job last time? They're hardworking and have no disabilities. I think they're good candidates."
