Chapter 442 Everyone Hates Mother-in-Law (10)
Although Liu Zongqiang is a heartless person, it does not mean that he is not good-looking. On the contrary, he is tall and gentle, and looks like a decent human being, so he was able to marry Zhao Shuwen, a city girl.
However, now under heavy pressure from life, Zhao Shuwen no longer likes Liu Zongqiang.
"You wanted to marry a rich second-generation man, but unfortunately he doesn't like you. I was deceived by you because I didn't see your true face!" Liu Zongqiang was not to be outdone. He said the most hurtful words. The once sweet couple finally came to the point of hurting each other.
"Liu Zongqiang! Are you looking for death?" Zhao Shuwen screamed, her eyes full of bloodshot. She stared at Liu Zongqiang as if she wanted to eat him alive.
Liu Zongqiang was called back to his senses by her scream. He knew that quarreling would not solve the problem, so he rubbed his brows and lowered his head first: "Then what do you want to do? Our son's problem has not been resolved yet, can we stop quarreling?"
"You were the one who quarreled with me first!" Zhao Shuwen was unyielding.
"Okay, I was wrong, okay?" Liu Zongqiang frowned even more tightly and said perfunctorily. He was busy and stressed at work in the company during the day, and when he got home he had to share housework and take care of the children. He was already exhausted and haggard. He just wanted to solve the problems at home as soon as possible.
"The problem we need to solve now is who will take care of our son if you stop going to work." Liu Zongqiang directly pointed out the crux of their argument.
The child is really too young. If he were three years old, they could send him to kindergarten, but now he is only three months old and even the nursery will not accept him.
"How about sending them to your eldest brother's house and letting your mother take care of them? After all, the two children in your eldest brother's house are grown up and can go to kindergarten." Liu Zongqiang said tentatively.
"Why don't you let your mother take care of the children? It's already very hard for my mother to take care of my two nephews. She has to pick them up from school and buy groceries and cook every day. How can she have the time to help us take care of the children? Besides, my eldest brother and his wife will never agree to it. You'd better give up this idea!" Zhao Shuwen immediately retorted.
"If you don't agree, then we can only save a few thousand dollars to hire a nanny, and you have to save the money you spend on clothes and cosmetics every month. Of course, I have to quit smoking and drinking, and I can't go to my colleagues' parties." Liu Zongqiang said, suppressing his anger.
Zhao Shuwen was about to say no, but if she disagreed, Liu Zongqiang would definitely scold her for spending money lavishly and not knowing how to live.
Liu Zongqiang did think that if Zhao Shuwen did not agree to save money to hire a nanny, he would ask her to quit her job and be a full-time mother at home. Unfortunately, Zhao Shuwen actually agreed, so he had to swallow the proposal with regret.
Afterwards, the two of them really went to look for a nanny. Unfortunately, even though they wanted to save money to hire a nanny, they found that the little money they saved was not enough to hire a qualified nanny. Of course, they could not afford a nanny from a formal agency. If it was an informal one, they did not dare to hire one. After all, they were hiring a nanny to take care of the child at home. If the nanny abused the child, it would be too late for them to regret it.
Finally, they gritted their teeth and hired the cheapest nanny. However, the nanny was hired, but she only came to take care of the children and did not do any other housework. The nanny said that she was a childcare nanny, not a housework nanny, and was not responsible for doing housework...
If they wanted to hire a nanny who could do housework and take care of the children, the price wouldn't be so cheap.
So Liu Zongqiang and Zhao Shuwen were both at a loss. They usually went to work and had lunch at the company, but they had to eat dinner at home, so Zhao Shuwen had to buy groceries and cook after get off work. The funny thing was that they didn't eat at home at noon, but they still had to take care of the nanny's lunch, so they had to order takeout for the nanny every day.
However, even so, the nanny refused to work after working for a month, saying that their family was too stingy and made the nanny eat cheap takeout every day. The nanny couldn't stand it anymore, and before leaving, she scolded them, "Why hire a nanny if you don't have money?!"
Zhao Shuwen and Liu Zongqiang looked very unhappy after being scolded. Zhao Shuwen hugged her son who was crying loudly and wanted to cry herself. She asked Liu Zongqiang: "What should we do now?"
Liu Zongqiang was angry and annoyed. Even the nanny looked down on him. He felt as if his face had been ripped off and thrown to the ground and stepped on. He had no dignity left.
At this time, he finally remembered his mother. When his mother was here, he felt so comfortable. When he returned home, there was always hot food waiting for him. The house was always clean, and the children were obedient and playful...
At that time, he felt that everything was taken for granted and did not think it was all his mother's credit. But after experiencing the days of being tortured by household chores and children's matters, he finally realized that such a happy and harmonious life did not come out of the blue, but required someone to make sacrifices to maintain it.
He finally regretted letting Chen Shichu leave so easily. Why didn't he keep her? Such a free nanny, without him spending a penny, can tidy up the house and take care of the children perfectly and healthily. He doesn't have to worry about her not trying her best or hurting the children. Moreover, she is willing to give. Isn't this the most perfect nanny?
"Or, why don't we call your mother over again?" Zhao Shuwen said hesitantly.
Liu Zongqiang and her looked at each other and immediately understood each other's thoughts. As expected, after they had experienced the chaos of losing a perfect nanny, they finally understood that it was not that Chen Shichu could not live without them, but that they could not live without her.
"Go ahead." Liu Zongqiang sighed and said. He felt very aggrieved and didn't want to bow to his mother, but this aggrieved feeling was nothing compared to his current situation, so he endured the unhappiness and called Chen Shichu.
"Hello? Mom, it's me." Liu Zongqiang coughed lightly and said reservedly. Chen Shichu had a falling out with him when he left before, but now he took the initiative to call her, which was a bit awkward.
"Oh, it's you. Are you going to pay alimony? Didn't you say you would fulfill your alimony obligation to me? Why haven't I received any alimony from you?" Chen Shichu said this deliberately. She knew that this ungrateful son would not come to her for no reason. He would only bow his head and submit to her if he wanted to get something from her.
Liu Zongqiang was choked when he heard her words and couldn't help getting angry and ashamed. He had long forgotten about the alimony issue, but Chen Shichu deliberately brought it up to him now. Wasn't she blaming him?
But he had to ask for help, and even though he felt embarrassed, he had to endure it: "Mom, I'm a little short of money recently. Shuwen and I both have to go to work, and there's no one at home to take care of the children. We have to hire a nanny, which costs a lot of money. I can't pay you alimony."
"Oh, then why did you call me?" Chen Shichu asked coldly.
Liu Zongqiang opened his mouth but was unable to say anything several times. He knew that he was very unkind to his own mother. Not only did he fail to fulfill his obligation to support her, but he also wanted to trick her into helping him take care of his children and do housework for free. He would feel guilty if he said it out loud.
