Chapter 48 of Eavesdropping
"Master, I can do it, I can do it!"
Just when the Gu family was shocked by Lan Yeping's wealth, Huang Xirong suddenly ran in, his face full of excitement. Before
Gu Jinshui could react, he saw Lan Yeping's secretaries immediately stepped forward to stop him. The action was quick and the reaction was fast.
This was not the skill that an ordinary secretary should have.
"Master, I am not an outsider, I am also from our compound." Huang Xirong hurriedly explained, and she said to He Chunlian: "Chunlian, you can also introduce me."
He Chunlian did not have a good face for Huang Xirong.
This old woman must have squatted under their window to listen, otherwise she could hear the words so clearly.
But she didn't set a trap for him, instead she nodded and said, "They are our neighbors, living in the east wing."
"Oh."
Lan Yeping nodded, and he smiled and said to Huang Xirong, "They say that a neighbor is better than a distant relative, and that's true, but you have children too, right?"
"They have two children, a granddaughter who is four years old this year, and a grandson who is about the same age as our second daughter." Gu Jinshui introduced, and then said to Huang Xirong, "Auntie Huang, your family is not short of money, why are you taking other people's work?"
"Nonsense, who said our family is not short of money."
Huang Xirong glared at the grinning Gu Jinshui, feeling very annoyed in his heart, "Besides, who would complain about giving away too much money?"
"The latter part is what you really think." Gu Jinshui said with a smile: "But you don't take care of the baby at home all day long. It's your granddaughter who takes care of the baby. How can you take care of other people's children well?"
Huang Xirong was so angry that she almost died.
Gu Jinshui must have done it on purpose.
She didn't take care of the baby at home. Isn't it because she didn't have money to take care of her own baby? If she had money, she would definitely take care of the baby herself.
But.
How could she say such words.
Lan Yeping was also a smart man. He smiled and said, "Stop joking, girl. You have so many children in your family. Where will you have the time to help take care of them? The nanny I want to find must live at home and watch my children every day. I will not agree to any negligence."
He looked at the secretaries and said, "Send the person out."
The secretaries agreed and "invited" Huang Xirong out.
"I'm so sorry to make you laugh."
He Chunlian said helplessly, "It's like this when neighbors live too close to each other. Any movement can be heard clearly by the neighbors next door."
"This is inevitable." Lan Yeping was very generous and didn't care about the little episode at all. "What I said just now was to scare you neighbors. It's inevitable to get into trouble when taking care of children. As long as it's not intentional, no one will mind."
"I know that."
He Chunlian thought for a while and said, "How about this, I'll give you a suggestion. You can pay less salary, sixty a month will be enough. As for the rest, you can keep it as a bonus at the end of the year, and leave the nanny matter to me."
Lan Yeping naturally would not refuse and agreed immediately.
He left a lot of gifts when he left. Gu Yinxing waited until he left, unpacked them impatiently, and exclaimed.
"What a beautiful doll!"
Liang Ying came over to see it and was also amazed. "What kind of doll is this? It's so beautiful that I haven't seen it in department stores."
"Sister-in-law, you must not know. I saw it in the Friendship Store. How much do you think this doll costs?"
Gu Yinxing opened the box and took out the exquisite doll wearing a suit and skirt.
Liang Ying said, "Fifty?"
"Add another zero!" Gu Yinxing said.
"Five hundred?"
Liang Ying's eyes widened.
Gu Yinxing nodded and said, "Yes, he is willing to buy such an expensive thing. He is really rich."
She opened the other bags and immediately threw away the Barbie doll. Mr. Renlan also gave her three sets of skin care products. Although she didn't know the brand, she knew it was expensive by looking at the English name on it. Gu Jinshui also got a gift, a Seiko watch from West Rail City.
Such a generous gift was thrown down.
Not to mention that Gu Jinshui couldn't resist it, Ms. He Chunlian, who always regarded money as dirt, couldn't resist it either.
She smelled the fragrance of the skin care products and said, "It seems that this matter needs to be done quickly, otherwise it will be embarrassing to take so many things from others."
"Mom, where are you going to find a nanny?"
Gu Yinxing put hand cream on her hands and asked while smelling it.
Liang Ying said, "It is definitely not a good idea to find those blind drifters. It is better to find someone we know well, so that we are not afraid of people having any bad thoughts."
Let's not talk about other things.
Mr. Lan only has himself and his grandson, living in such a big house. If they meet someone with bad intentions, they will roll up the things in the middle of the night and burn the house. That would be terrible.
"Then why not find your relatives from your mother's side." Gu Yinxing looked at He Chunlian and said.
He Chunlian thought about it and it seemed that there was really no better choice except to find her relatives from her mother's side.
Speaking of He Chunlian's family, they have been getting along well over the years. Her family is in the countryside, and she has three brothers. In the early years, when there was no food in the countryside, He Chunlian sent food to her family. When there was a food shortage in the city, the three brothers also helped her.
Every year, they would go out and about during the Chinese New Year. At other times, they rarely go home, and people from the countryside rarely come.
It's not that they are afraid that He Chunlian will look down on her rural relatives, but it was really poor in the past few years. Everyone was poor, and the relatives couldn't afford to go out.
The more He Chunlian thought about it, the more reliable she really was to find her own relatives. Others couldn't guarantee it, but after so many years of friendship, at least she knew who was sneaky, who was hardworking, and who liked to take advantage.
She asked for leave the next day and gave the class to other teachers.
Then she went to buy some candies, brown sugar, snacks and pork. Thinking that cloth coupons were no longer accepted, she simply bought five or six pieces of cotton cloth, red and gray, and took the bus with large and small bags, and then took a bullock cart back to Hejia Village. The
bullock cart was shaking.
He Chunlian swayed for a long time, and her legs were weak when she got off the bus.
"Aunt, are you okay?" The young man driving the ox cart was from Hejia Village. According to seniority, he could be considered He Chunlian's nephew.
He Chunlian drank a few sips of water and waved his hands: "No problem, no problem."
The young man said: "Then how about I help you take the things to your house? So many things are heavy."
"That's a big trouble for you, Dali." He Chunlian was not polite.
How could she lift so many things with her body?
Dali tied the rope to the tree. There was only straw on the ox cart, and there was nothing else. Besides, everyone in the village was an acquaintance, and most people would not steal. He carried a few pieces of cloth, picked up pork and other things, and accompanied He Chunlian home.
Now it was spring, and the fields were full of people turning the soil.
As He Chunlian and Dali walked over, someone called out, "Fourth sister, fourth sister, is that you?"
He Chunlian raised her head suddenly, and the man standing in front of her with a dark face and two strong arms was none other than her elder brother.
"Brother, why are you working in the fields?"
He Chunlian was startled.
Her elder brother was ten years older than her and was over fifty years old.
He Daniu wiped his face and got up from the field. "What's the use of working in the fields? I'm in good health. It's uncomfortable to sit at home and work. Sister, why are you back? Don't you have to go to work today?"
"Brother, I just missed you and asked for leave to come and see you. I also brought some cloth and these candies for my sisters-in-law."
He Chunlian smiled and said, "Brother, I want to stay at home for a few days. Do you welcome me?"
"What are you talking about? I'd be happy for you to stay at home for a few months. You just come if you want to, why do you bring things with you?"
He Daniu said, and whispered, "Will your daughter-in-law be happy if she knows about this?"
"It doesn't matter if she knows. I earned all the money myself." He Chunlian said.
Her elder brother had four sons in the early years. Who in the village would not be jealous? But when the sons got married and had grandchildren, the elder brother was at a loss. There were more people in the family, and there were more disputes. His own wife was not easy to get along with, not to mention the daughters-in-law of his sons.
The two of them talked and laughed, and took Dali home.
Dali put down his things and was about to leave. He Chunlian grabbed a bag of snacks and a handful of candy and gave them to him, "Take them back to sweeten the children."
"Thank you, auntie." Dali was a little embarrassed. He touched the back of his head and looked at He Daniu. He agreed only when he saw He Daniu nod.
He Daniu and his two younger brothers had separated a long time ago, but they lived close to each other. This row was the home of the three brothers.
He Daniu opened the door, and a young wife with her head wrapped and wearing a flowered cotton jacket ran out of the kitchen, "Dad, why are you back?"
"Fourth daughter-in-law, your aunt is back, go and call people, tell your mother-in-law to come back quickly."
He Daniu said.
The young wife glanced at the things in He Chunlian's hands and the cloth on Daniu's shoulders, and then she ran out with a smile, and came back quickly, saying, "I'll ask Tiedan to tell him, Dad, aunt, you guys sit down, I'll go boil some water."
She looked back every few steps.
He Daniu was a little embarrassed, and asked He Chunlian to sit on the kang in the house. "This fourth daughter-in-law is like this, but she has no other problems."
"Every child is like this," He Chunlian did not find fault with others. If it were not for poverty, who would not be willing to show openness: "I think this child is good enough, at least she knows how to deal with things."
He Daniu breathed a sigh of relief.
He Chunlian asked about the children in the family.
Although she came once at the beginning of the year, she was in a hurry at that time and did not have time to ask in detail.
You don't know until you ask, and you will be shocked when you ask.
The eldest daughter-in-law and the fourth daughter-in-law are pregnant again.
The family is expected to have two more children by the end of the year.
He Daniu couldn't even laugh anymore. He said, "If I had known there would be so many children now, your sister-in-law and I would have just had two."
He smoked a pipe, his face full of worry.
"Where's your sister-in-law?" He Chunlian didn't know how to talk about this, so she had to change the subject. "Where did she go?"
"Well, the eldest daughter-in-law said that there were too many people at home and it was too noisy, so she couldn't sleep, so she went back to her parents' home. Her mother didn't want to take care of her, so your sister-in-law had to go and help every day."
He Daniu sighed and said.
