Sun Yuying spoke earnestly on the other end of the phone, and Yu Sui curled the corners of her mouth.
Sun Yuying, the adopted daughter, is really broad-minded and kind-hearted. Although she is a bit sharp-tongued, she has never instigated her daughter to ignore those people in the Xia family.
Many people cannot compare to me in this regard.
Unfortunately, Xia Xidong and Xiao Afen are really a hopeless couple, otherwise the in-laws would be able to get along well with each other.
Yu Sui: "Mom, there is a reason for this. You have to believe that Xia Linsheng and I are not unreasonable people. Don't believe or care about anything Afen says. I'll tell you the specific reason when you come."
"I don't even bother to pay attention to her. Otherwise, I would have slapped her twice for what she said. It's not that we have three college students in our family now. I figured I couldn't embarrass you and I had to pretend to be a decent person. It just so happens that your father injured his leg, so I won't go out to visit you anymore. I feel like my ability to curse has declined, so I won't bother with her."
Yu Sui couldn't help laughing as she listened to Sun Yuying's words: "Hahaha, Mom, you really look pretty like a bitch like this. It's okay, let's ignore her. Just hold it in for a few days. When you get to the capital, I'll reward you!"
When Sun Yuying heard there was a reward, she was very happy: "Okay! It's a deal then. Call me in a month and tell me how I'll get to you."
"Mother."
Just like that, Yu Sui and Sun Yuying talked it over, and they planned in their hearts to find a part-time worker to take care of the child.
Yu Sui took out the address note that Lili had just given her and looked at it. She found that the address was in Maoer Hutong, not far from here, so she went there directly.
If I could talk to that aunt today, I wouldn't have to make a special trip another day.
When Yu Sui asked around and arrived at Maoer Hutong, and was looking for the house number, she heard a quarrel.
Inside the courtyard wall of a house at the entrance of the alley, two shrill female voices were shouting curses at each other:
The older ones said, "...you don't do anything, but you spend money. Just one trip like that costs you money for phone calls and babysitting. What can you do?"
The younger one refused to give in: "Yes, I can't do anything, but what have you done for me? If you could help me take care of the kids, would I spend this money?"
"Oh, you're blaming me! I'm only making 70 yuan a month. Should I retire and babysit your kids? How much can you give me?"
"Have you given me seventy cents a month? What are you telling me? You're such a jerk! You don't give me a cent and you still control me!"
"You are such a heartless woman, why did our family marry you in the first place? Do I have to give you money? Don't you think about it? The food you eat is all from our family, and the house you live in now is still mine!"
"How could you possibly say that? You're talking nonsense! A family of seven or eight people live in such a shabby house. The key is that none of these seven or eight people can help me look after the children. You're talking nonsense to me. Do you think I want to live in your shabby house? Didn't you lie to me in the beginning, saying that we would live separately after we got married? But now, you don't give us any separation at all. You only know how to appease your daughter-in-law first! Liar, your family is a liar!"
Yu Sui could confirm that the younger woman's voice belonged to Lili, and the other one must be her mother-in-law.
Yu Sui thought about this and looked at the door number.
No. 7.
Lily's house, that's right.
It was just as she said, not far from the house of the part-time nanny.
This courtyard looks quite old, and many families live together. If there are really seven or eight people squeezed into two or three houses, then Lili's life would be really miserable. It would be worse than going back to her hometown with Han Duomi.
Yu Sui sighed, and hurriedly walked across the street and found a house at the bottom of the alley.
The middle-aged woman named Qiu was soon found.
The woman was of medium height, with a kind face. She had her hair tied into a short braid with a rubber band and was making dough dumplings in the shared kitchen.
Yu Sui explained her purpose, and the woman, while deftly breaking up the dough, said, "You mean, I have to go to your place, right?"
Yu Sui: "Yes. I see there are a lot of people living here, and I'm a little worried. If you can come to my house to look after the children, we can negotiate the price."
Aunt Qiu said, "Well, it's not about money. It's mainly because I have an old mother at home who had a stroke. She's very withdrawn. I can't leave her for more than an hour, otherwise she'll fall to the ground or something. If possible, you should send her to me. I can promise that I will not leave for a moment while you are watching the child. Look, my group of people have been watching the child for two hours, and I haven't eaten yet. I'm cooking now, and yet that woman said it's only been an hour and a minute, and she refused to give me two dollars."
Yu Sui raised her eyebrows secretly: This guy, is it Lily?
It seems that Lili is not only facing strained marital relations, housing shortages, but also financial difficulties.
While thinking about Lili, Yu Sui asked again, "So what you mean is that the room you see the child in is also the room your mother lives in?"
"Yes, this way I can look after the little one and the old one at the same time. I know what you're worried about. I made it very clean. Come, come and see."
Aunt Qiu was still very enthusiastic. She stopped eating the noodles and took Yu Sui into a room.
There were two beds in the room. On one of them lay an old man with completely white hair, looking at Yu Sui with a dull look. On the other bed, there was a few pieces of cloth made into a bed guard. Yu Sui probably put her child in it to play.
Speaking of clean, uh...
Yu Sui looked at the saliva at the corner of the old man's mouth, the toilet under the bed, and the dirty pants on the floor, and pursed her lips tightly.
Aunt Qiu looked at Yu Sui's expression and felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't this enough?"
Yu Sui said bluntly: "Others may think it's wrong, but I don't. My family has a separate yard, and I pay more attention to my children's hygiene. In this situation, I don't mind."
Aunt Qiu was in a dilemma: "Then there's nothing we can do."
Yu Sui still tried to argue: "Aunt Qiu, caring for the elderly for a long time is also very hard. How about I give you a suggestion? I can give you ten yuan a month. You can come to my house to look after the children during the day, but usually not all day. Usually I don't have classes in the afternoon, so you can leave occasionally if there is something special. This way, you can ask a neighbor to help look after your mother for you. It's better than earning a few yuan here and there, don't you think?"
Aunt Qiu didn't say yes or no, hesitating, "Then I'll think about it. Didn't you just say you only wanted me for a month? If it's a long-term thing, then I'll definitely find someone to look after my mother, and I'll take care of the child for you."
Yu Sui didn't say anything, and she didn't refuse either: "We choose each other. One month is actually a trial period. If I feel you like it after a month, then it's long-term. From another perspective, if you don't like working at my house, you can still work for a month. Don't you agree?"
