It is better to avoid a falling out with a nanny if possible. After all, who knows if your son will fall into her hands in the future.
Yu Sui was still quite patient. She just did her homework in the room and occasionally looked at Aunt Qiu taking care of the children outside.
It was obvious that ever since Aunt Qiu came back and told her to leave, she had put Lily's child on the mat and had only held little Tangyuan.
But children are children. At this age, Tangyuan likes to go out and play the most, so he always pokes his fingers to go outside, and hums if his request is not satisfied: "Um, outside, outside... Um... Um..."
Lily's child was only about four months old and needed the sense of security of being held in an adult's arms. The child lay on the mat alone for a while and then started crying.
The child was big and cried loudly. His face and head turned red and he cried non-stop. Yu Sui couldn't do her homework at all.
Yu Sui took a deep breath and went out to find Aunt Qiu:
"See? This is what happens when you take care of two children. You're trying to make a little extra money, but you can't even take care of them properly. So, my attitude remains the same as before. If you still want to take on odd jobs, give me your exact details tomorrow so I can find a nanny. If you still want to work for me for a full month, I'm sorry, I can't accept you taking care of other people's children."
Aunt Qiu looked depressed. "Yu Sui, it's not that I want to take odd jobs, it's really about Lili. This woman is always like this, saying an hour, but then taking forever, and then refusing to pay more. When she comes, I'll make it clear to her that I won't take any more jobs in the future, okay?"
Yu Sui didn't argue with her anymore. Instead, she took the little Tangyuan from her hands and said, "Go hold the child first. The child is crying so hard. If anything happens to him, I can't bear the responsibility."
"Oh! This child is like this, crying non-stop! He must be hungry. Lily didn't leave any milk powder for him, and only gave him a bottle of water. It's really annoying! Stop crying, stop crying!"
Although Aunt Qiu went to hold the child, she was unhappy and had a bad attitude and was heavy-handed.
Yu Sui was kindhearted after all, and couldn't stand this, so she said, "Okay, don't take it out on the child. First, use some of our Tangyuan milk powder to make him some milk. If he cries like this, the neighbors next door will think he's in trouble!"
Aunt Qiu didn't dare to say anything. She took the milk powder from the Tangyuan milk bottle and filled it with it. The child held the bottle and drank it. He drank it all in a short while, but was still not satisfied. He held the empty bottle tightly and refused to let go.
Yu Sui: "Don't let him drink from an empty bottle. He'll feel uncomfortable if he drinks a lot of air."
Aunt Qiu smiled and said, "I'm afraid he'll cry. Okay, I'll burp him. Hey, your milk powder is quite expensive, isn't it?"
Yu Sui: "You paid for him?"
Aunt Qiu: "You can collect it from Lili later, and I will help you to tell her."
Yu Sui was really furious, but she didn't lose her temper at the child. Since Aunt Qiu had to burp the child, she could only play with Tangyuan by herself.
Lily didn't come until after 8 p.m.
Aunt Qiu was afraid that Yu Sui would not want her, so when she saw Li Lili, she immediately shouted at her:
"You are such a fool! I told you I was already babysitting Yu Sui's baby and couldn't take any more odd jobs, but you just left the baby behind and walked away for two or three hours! How could you be so irresponsible? You didn't have any milk powder or diapers, and you left the baby crying. Look, I brought the baby to you. How could you do this?"
It was hot in August, and Lily was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, with milk already seeping out of her chest.
Her hair was disheveled and her face was flushed, and she looked like she had also rushed over.
Facing Aunt Qiu's words, she did not dare to retort, and apologized in a humble manner:
"I'm so sorry, Aunt Qiu. I had something urgent to do, so I didn't prepare everything properly. I'm sorry, sorry. I told you, Yu Sui and I are good friends, so I dared to just leave and go. I wouldn't dare to go to someone else's house! I'm sorry. Oh, by the way, here's a dollar for you."
Aunt Qiu was already angry, and now when she saw Lili handing over a dollar, she became even angrier: "One dollar? Who do you think I am? It's always like this. You left the child here for over three hours, and you only gave me one dollar?"
Lili stretched out her hand and smiled: "Hey, Aunt Qiu, aren't you already babysitting my good sister's children? Don't they give you ten yuan a month? It doesn't matter if you look after one child or two. I don't have to pay them in the first place. I'm only giving you one yuan because you're responsible. Why are you still complaining? Take it, take it, come on!"
Aunt Qiu was so angry that she was shaking all over. Suddenly, she stuffed the child into Lili's hands and walked towards Yu Sui's room: "I have never seen such a shameless woman like you. Don't bring children here again. I won't help you take care of them. You are so shameless!"
She walked up to Yu Sui, trying hard to suppress her anger, and clapped her hands towards the little Tangyuan in Yu Sui's arms: "Tangyuan baby, come here, let grandma hold you and take you outside to see the puppies!"
When little Tangyuan heard that he was going to see the puppy, he immediately jumped into her arms.
Yu Sui wanted to talk to Lili, so she didn't say anything, and Aunt Ren Qiu took the child away.
Lili looked at Aunt Qiu's angry back and smiled at Yu Sui: "This old woman actually got angry at me! Hey, Yu Sui, is she good at taking care of the child? Did I introduce her correctly?"
Lili looked very proud, just like when she asked Yu Sui for food when she lived in the earthquake shelter, as if it was her natural thing to do.
This is the problem that Yu Sui is worried about.
It seemed that Lily was indeed in a hurry, and Yu Sui felt deep down that since they were old acquaintances after all, it would be better not to make a fuss about helping her once or twice.
But now Lily didn't say a word about abandoning the child, and instead took credit for introducing this nanny. That would cause trouble in the future.
Taking care of children is not like taking care of cats or dogs. If something happens to Aunt Qiu while she is taking care of the two children, who will be responsible?
So it’s better to refuse from the beginning.
Yu Sui sighed deeply and said calmly, "She used to be very nice, so I was willing to pay her ten yuan plus ten kilograms of flour a month's wages. However, I've changed my mind now. Starting tomorrow, I don't want her anymore."
Lily was surprised: "Why?"
Yu Sui: "I offer her such a high salary because I hope she will help me take care of my child wholeheartedly, but I don't want her to babysit for other people's children."
Lili stared at Yu Sui with her mouth wide open for a long time, then she felt she understood: "Oh, you mean, you're unhappy because she helped me look after the kids for a long time yesterday?"
Yu Sui nodded: "This is just one of the origins."
