Sister Lan was the confinement nanny carefully selected by Xue Wangjun. She was extremely patient with children and took very good care of Xue Jiayu.
Xu Suzhen looked skeptical. She still did not agree with asking an outsider to raise the child. How could she let an outsider take care of her own child, as she should love it herself?
Mrs. Lan was a smart person. Seeing that the old lady was uncomfortable, she quickly responded in a gentle manner.
"Old Madam, if you have anything to do in the future, just tell me. In addition to taking care of the young lady, I can do all the housework, big or small!"
"Is this... true?" Xu Suzhen didn't believe it. "Doing housework is tiring. Can you take care of the children, wash clothes and cook by yourself?"
"Of course! Since I have received money from the gentleman, it is my duty to work! No matter how hard it is, I will never complain of being tired!"
Not only did Mrs. Lan say this, she also did it later. Her diligence changed Xu Suzhen's mind.
After all, people love to enjoy life. Du Suzhen has worked hard all her life, and now when she is old she finds someone taking good care of her, pouring water for her when she is thirsty and cooking for her when she is hungry. Who wouldn't like that?
Therefore, within a few days, Sister Lan conquered Xu Suzhen.
Xu Suzhen originally had to take care of the two children by herself, but now Sister Lan and she take turns to take care of them for half a day.
But then problems also arise.
Mrs. Lan did not make things difficult for Xue Jiayu. After all, Xue Jiayu was the legitimate daughter of the Xue family and a young lady whom she needed to take care of. However, she was not satisfied with Ying Huanyu in any way.
When people get old, they become less guarded and want to gossip about everything.
Sister Lan conquered Xu Suzhen, and the two would chat at home whenever they had time. Before she knew it, Xu Suzhen started talking about Li Minxue.
She said that Li Minxue, a bad person, wanted to harm Jiayu and was thrown into jail. Her son and daughter-in-law were really kind-hearted and were willing to adopt their enemy's daughter. They also took good care of her and provided her with the same food, clothing and other necessities as Jiayu.
This sentence made Lan Sao extremely unbalanced. Was the Xue family being taken advantage of? If they wanted to adopt a second child, it would be better to just pick one up on the street than to raise the daughter of their enemy!
She actually thought that the child she brought back was a relative of the Xue family and she took good care of him, but in fact, the child's status and position was not as good as hers!
Instead of raising Ying Huanyu, it is better to raise her grandson, who is just three years old this year and is worried about having no money for his education.
Mrs. Lan thought so in her heart, and she couldn't help but neglect Ying Huanyu with her hands.
She was very smart and did a good job on the surface, not letting the Xue family notice anything wrong. But if Xue Jiayu saw it in private, she would secretly rub salt in Ying Huanyu's mouth.
Babies can't eat salt. Sister Lan wants Ying Huanyu to suffer kidney failure and die without knowing it!
Xue Jiayu was anxious, but she couldn't say anything and didn't know how to stop others.
She could only wait until one weekend when she found a time when Jiang Qiuyu was around and sobbed and cried.
“Ahhhhh!”
Xue Jiayu waited for Sister Lan to quietly feed Ying Huanyu, then she started to make a fuss and wanted to climb onto Sister Lan.
Jiang Qiuyi was jealous: "I was away from home for work for a few days, why is Xiaobao closer to you?"
Sister Lan smiled and comforted her: "Madam, what are you talking about? Children are just playful and they just want to play with me because they have a good temper. Miss misses her mother every day. If you and your husband come home late at night, she will stare at the entrance with her eyes open."
Sister Lan was good at talking and she made Jiang Qiuyu feel very comfortable. As she saw Xue Jiayu becoming fairer and more tender, she became even more satisfied with Sister Lan.
"Sister Lan, you take good care of Xiaobao. Wangjun and I are thinking of giving you a bonus at the end of the month. Do you want a big color TV or a big red envelope?"
Mrs. Lan's eyes lit up immediately, and she was overjoyed: "Madam, you are so expensive, this is what I should do!"
Listening to the two people's compliments, Xue Jiayu silently rolled his eyes in his heart, then opened his mouth and bit Lan Sao's fingers.
Sister Lan feeds salt to Ying Huanyu every few days. Although Xu Suzhen is relieved about her and is willing to give the child to her, she often comes to visit the child from time to time to check if Sister Lan is lazy.
Therefore, in order to make it easier for her to take action at any time, Sister Lan stole a packet of salt and sewed it on her cuffs. When she found the right opportunity, she would use her index finger to dip some and smear it on Xue Jiayu's mouth.
So there should still be some salt left on her hand. Xue Jiayu's plan was to pretend to have accidentally swallowed the salt, and then hold her face and cry. Given how much Jiang Qiuyu cherished her, she would definitely come to check on her, and would naturally be able to detect the crystal particles at the corners of her mouth.
What Xue Jiayu didn't expect was that she didn't need to sacrifice herself at all. Jiang Qiuyu heard all her thoughts. She was about to be polite to Mrs. Lan, but Jiang Qiuyu's face suddenly froze.
What is Xiaobao talking about? The nanny has been feeding salt to Ying Huanyu for several days in a row? !
As a mother, she naturally knows the harm of salt to babies.
She was glad that Sister Lan did not attack Jiayu, otherwise she would have wanted to kill her. But why did Sister Lan do that?
It’s true that Mrs. Lan loves Jiayu. Since she likes children, why does she want to harm Ying Huanyu?
Xue Jiayu answered this question later.
[Sister Lan, I'm sorry. Your family is indeed in a difficult situation, and you are really kind to me, but I can't sit back and watch others die. Ying Huanyu has done nothing wrong. Even if she is not worthy of being the adopted daughter of our Xue family, your son cannot replace her.]
Jiang Qiuyu suddenly realized and sneered.
She was actually wrong. She didn't expect Mrs. Lan to be such a double-faced person.
She had the same idea as Xue Jiayu. Even if the person harmed by Mrs. Lan was not Xue Jiayu, she did not like Ying Huanyu. Such a deep-minded nanny could not stay with her.
Now, the nanny is respectful to Xue Jiayu and despises Ying Huanyu for her own benefit. If she meets someone richer than the Xue family in the future, wouldn't she do such a thing to replace them for the sake of her future?
Moreover, she was really vicious. Feeding salt to a baby was fatal. If Xiaobao hadn't been smart, he would have avoided it in advance. Even if she didn't want to harm Jiayu, the salt on her hands could easily enter Xue Jiayu's mouth through various channels. Isn't this still murdering her child!
Under these two factors, Jiang Qiuyu was grateful to Lan Sao in one second, and was so angry that she wanted to kick her out in the next second.
Seeing that Xiaobao, this silly boy, was really going to "test the poison on himself" in order to tell the truth, Jiang Qiuyu covered Xue Jiayu's face in time.
"Don't bite Sister Lan, kid!"
Sister Lan was smiling so hard thinking about the big color TV, but when she heard Jiang Qiuyu scolding her, she realized something was wrong.
She lowered her head and saw Xue Jiayu stubbornly holding her thumb and chewing it.
Sister Lan panicked at the time and quickly retracted her hand: "Miss, what are you doing! You can't bite people casually."
Jiang Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the salt-stained hand retract.
After a while, her eyes rolled and she adopted a delicate and self-willed tone: "Sister Lan, what are you saying? Is Jiayu teething? It's normal to have itchy teeth and want to bite something. It doesn't hurt. Can't you let her grind her teeth?"
She had thought of a plan to find out that Mrs. Lan was wrong and kicked her out.
