Song Zhaodi got up and was about to pack her things when Shu Ying grabbed her arm and gestured for her to sit down.
Upon seeing this, Ding Rumei's face flashed with displeasure.
Shu Ying calmly met her gaze, her voice indifferent, "There's no need to accept these things. These are what I bought. Zhi Yan and I are of one mind, and I think he'll like good things too. This house is fine as it is now, so there's no need to change anything."
She gave a meaningful reminder: "Zhiyan is a smart adult. He won't dislike what his wife likes, and he won't like people his wife dislikes. If I don't speak up, no one can influence his opinion."
Shu Ying stood up and fixed her gaze on Ding Rumei. "Cousin, you just need to do what a nanny should do. This house has its own master, and I don't like others interfering in my life."
She spoke with a smile, but her voice didn't sound warm or friendly.
"You probably don't know me very well. I'm the kind of person who doesn't appreciate favors and doesn't show any mercy. If you take my money, it's your duty to do a good job. If you don't do a good job, I'll make you return what you took."
Ding Rumei took a step forward, still trying to argue, but Shu Ying stopped her with a look. "Besides, I've always been the one in charge at home. Here, everything is based on my opinion."
Even if Xie Zhiyan were here, she would say the same thing.
Ding Rumei originally intended to make a show of force, but she didn't expect to end up shooting herself in the foot.
Shu Ying looked at Song Zhaodi and said, "Sister Song, you've been here for a while now and you're familiar with our family's affairs. Why don't you show this cousin around our customs and help her adapt to local traditions?"
She emphasized the last few words, and Ding Rumei looked somewhat reluctant. Just as she was about to say something, Shu Ying got up and went outside.
She smiled gently and waved to the two children, Yueyue and Yangyang, who ran over.
Shu Ying wiped the sweat from the two children's brows, glanced at the direction of the playground outside, and said, "The food at home isn't ready yet. Yangyang, why don't you take your sister outside to play first?"
The little guy nodded in agreement. The playground has a full range of facilities, with swings and seesaws over there, which many children like to play on.
There weren't many people in line at that time, so the two of them went hand in hand.
Ding Rumei was about to speak when Shu Ying gave her a casual glance, causing Ding Rumei to hesitate and stop speaking.
"My cousin just arrived today and isn't familiar with the house yet, so let's start with the kitchen. She's about to be discharged, and patients need a balanced diet. I'll also know what you can cook."
She was eager to embellish her image, and Shu Ying gave her the opportunity to do so.
Ding Rumei glanced at Song Zhaodi, and was about to tell her to cook, when Shu Ying spoke up first, "Sister Song, you can just go and help out."
The implication was that she didn't need to worry about it.
Ding Rumei, oblivious to the implied meaning in Shu Ying's words, happily went into the kitchen and began to give orders.
