Aunt Qiu didn't say anything.
It seems that he is moved.
Yu Sui pushed him again: "Well, if you come to my house to look after the baby for a month, I can give you another ten kilograms of flour."
In those days when supplies were relatively scarce, Aunt Qiu agreed immediately upon hearing this: "Is that so? Okay then."
Yu Sui felt relieved. She made an appointment with Aunt Qiu, paid an advance of ten dollars, and went home.
When I passed by Lily's house, I saw that they were still arguing in the yard. However, it was obvious that Lily had lost. Now it was the slightly older voice that continued to curse, and there were also sounds of smashing things in between:
"...You have the nerve to call others liars, but you're a liar yourself too. You told us you were married once, but you were actually married twice! Would a good woman marry twice? Our family was truly blind to believe your nonsense! You're just a worthless piece of shit. Luckily, our son is honest enough to marry you, and you have the nerve to say that..."
Alas, this kind of marriage is so difficult.
With Lily's brain, it is probably impossible to break the deadlock.
Yu Sui shook her head and quickened her pace as she left.
One day at home, Xia Xiao'e opened the door holding little Tangyuan. She looked at Yu Sui nervously and breathed heavily: "Sister-in-law is back. Um, are you tired?"
It's quite funny how he looks like he's about to faint but doesn't dare to ask.
Yu Sui: "Xiao E, do you want to go or not? Why do you feel like you can't breathe?"
Xia Xiao'e scratched her head. "Sister-in-law, I just... I feel really bad. You're out, and I'm holding little Tangyuan, but I can't bear to put him down. If I really go to school, I won't be able to accompany him. I can't bear it. Sister-in-law, let's do this. If you really can't find someone to take care of him, I won't go. Or, can you ask that teacher Lan if I can take little Tangyuan to class? He's very well behaved."
Yu Sui glanced at her helplessly. "If I could take my child with me to school, do you think I would not take him? Don't worry, I went out and asked around. There are short-term babysitters nearby. I've already found one who can help take care of the child for a month. Then my mother will be here, so the issue of taking care of the child is solved."
Xia Xiao'e's eyes were still full of excitement: "So, what did Big Brother say? Did he agree? If he doesn't agree, it doesn't matter to me. Really, it doesn't matter at all."
"Actually, I'm just informing your brother about this. He'll pay, and I'll do the hard work. I'm going to tell Professor Lan right now that you're sure you'll attend their class. Tomorrow, when I get to school, I'll borrow some books on broadcasting from the library. Read them when you have time. By the time school starts, at least you'll have some basic knowledge so you don't fall too far behind."
After Yu Sui finished speaking, she hurried into the house, ready to take the money and go find Professor Lan.
Xia Xiao'e followed in with the child in her arms: "Sister-in-law..."
"Hmm? What's the matter?"
"It's just... thank you. I don't know how I can thank you. How about you tell me what I can do for you?"
"Oh?" Yu Sui stopped searching and turned back to ask seriously, "You do whatever I tell you to do?"
Xia Xiao'e nodded vigorously: "Well, I'll do whatever you tell me to do!"
Yu Sui: "If you get a job in the future, can you give me all your salary?"
"Okay!" Xia Xiao'e answered loudly without thinking, and she looked very happy.
Yu Sui simply asked Xia Xiao'e to sit down: "Xiao'e, when you answered my question, did you ever think that if you really gave me all your salary, wouldn't you be working for me for the rest of your life?"
"That's right! You and my elder brother paid for my education, so I should give you the money I earn. That's what my mother said. She said before that she would send me to learn tailoring, which means that all the money I earn in the future will be given to her."
"Do you think this is right?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Uh...Xiao E, do you think your mother is right on this point?" Yu Sui added.
Finally, Xia Xiao'e looked at her and began to wonder, "But... if we have children, don't we have to... raise them in the future? Why not give birth to them?"
Yu Sui picked up Tangyuan, who was leaning over and asking the adults to go out, and smiled, "Are you saying that I gave birth to Tangyuan now so that he can support me in the future? Otherwise, I shouldn't have given birth to him?"
"Uh... I, sister-in-law, now that you put it that way, I feel like something's not right."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't really put it into words, I just feel... if that's the case, little Tangyuan would be really pitiful."
"Hahaha, this feeling is right." Yu Sui laughed while teasing Xiao Tangyuan:
"Xiao'e, your sister-in-law is just teasing you. If I help you now just so you can give me your salary in the future, how is that any different from exploiting you? I've already told you that originally, we gave your parents ten yuan a month, so they could support themselves and you well. But now that they sent you here, we're going to give this money to you.
We are very happy that you know how to appreciate us, and we also hope that you don't feel too burdened. After all, you are not yet an adult, and it is your parents' responsibility to raise you. If they don't, we will raise you on their behalf. That's it.
I just hope you can study hard this time. If you can actually get officially accepted by the school, your life will be very good, and our efforts will be truly worth it. Of course, after all, your level of specialization is not high, so it's not easy to stand out among those professionals. If you work hard and still can't do it, then let's just consider it a learning experience, which is always a good thing.
Xia Xiao'e bit her lip and thought for a while, then began to cry:
"Sister-in-law, no one has ever said this to me. No one has ever told me that since I'm underage, it's my parents' responsibility to support me. My mother tells me every day that since they raised me, I should work, I should earn money for them, and I should support them in the future. Woohoo, sister-in-law, I used to feel wronged. Why didn't they say the same thing to my second brother? Why am I always the one who has to do everything? I didn't dare to say it before, but now I feel like they are exploiting me!"
Yu Sui: "Uh... maybe they're not exploiting you, they just favor boys over girls. Xiao'e, so I'm telling you, it's always good for you to go to school. Reading will enlighten you and broaden your horizons. Don't cry, little Tangyuan will pout when he sees you crying!"
Xia Xiao'e finally wiped her tears and took the little glutinous rice dumpling from Yu Sui's hands:
"Little Tangyuan is the best! Sister-in-law, no matter what, you've been good to me and helped me study. I'll remember that. If I earn a salary in the future, I'll give it to you and not to my mother. She's just partial! She thinks her son is the best every day, so let her son support her!"
Yu Sui: “…” This is not what I taught you!
Yu Sui couldn't comment on this kind of thing. Although she knew in her heart that if Xia Xiao'e read more, she would understand many things, it would be bad to say it out loud.
She just took the money and went to find Lan Qingyue.
