"You..." As soon as Zhou Yuni heard it, she was so angry that she reached out to hit Luo Cuilan.
Luo Cuilan grabbed her and spoke very directly, "Mom, don’t be so angry. You guys are indeed shaful, or else my elder brother and his wife along with Hong Lan wouldn’t be so angry that they stop associating with you."
When Zhou Yuni heard this, she beca unhappy and responded irritably, "Do you think you’re any better? Does Fang Pingying like to socialize with you?"
"At least she’s better than you all, no matter how much she dislikes . She found a job that I’ve done honestly and didn’t cause them any trouble," Luo Cuilan said, glancing at Xu He who was standing by and tutted a few tis, "It’s not like you guys, ai..."
Seeing this, Xu He beca so angry that she wanted to make a scene, "You..."
She was pulled back by Zhou Yuni. Impatiently, Zhou Yuni asked Luo Cuilan, "Just tell , what on earth did you co here for today?"
Luo Cuilan then rembered the reason for her visit, imdiately put away the an look she had before, and pulled Zhou Yuni into the room. After avoiding Xu He, she said with a smile, "Mom, I have sothing to discuss with you."
"Speak."
Luo Cuilan looked at her son sleeping in her arms and then spoke, "I want to go to the city to work, can you help take care of Da Wei?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuni imdiately rolled her eyes, "Don’t even think about it, leaving Da Wei with ."
Luo Cuilan also made a face at Zhou Yuni, as if she knew Zhou Yuni would react this way.
Seeing that Luo Cuilan still had this attitude even when asking for a favor, Zhou Yuni got tired of arguing, turned around to leave, but Luo Cuilan pulled her back, stretching out the words as she called her, "Mom, I’ll pay you every month for taking care of him."
Zhou Yuni stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Luo Cuilan, "How much?"
Luo Cuilan sat her down and countered, "How much do you want?"
Zhou Yuni thought for a mont, then raised three fingers at Luo Cuilan, "At least 30 dollars, any less and don’t expect to agree."
Luo Cuilan knew Zhou Yuni’s character, she would definitely ask for a high price.
She rolled her eyes and started to haggle, "15 dollars, any more and I will find soone else."
dollars?
Zhou Yuni did a quick calculation, besides buying food for the child, she wouldn’t earn much, and with so much work to do, she said indifferently, "Then go find soone else."
Seeing this, Luo Cuilan knew the amount was too little, so she increased her offer, "How about this, Mom, I’ll give you 20 dollars a month to take care of Da Wei."
As Zhou Yuni was about to speak, Luo Cuilan imdiately said, "Mom, think about it. Da Wei is still young and doesn’t eat much. This 20 dollars a month is pretty much what you’d earn purely. That’s over 200 dollars in a year. Save up for two years and that’s a significant amount of money."
"Alright then." Although it wasn’t the amount Zhou Yuni had in mind, Luo Cuilan made a good point. Earning a little is better than nothing. She nodded her head, pretending to agree reluctantly and in a spirit of familial love, "Fine, I’ll take care of him for you, after all you’re my own daughter, and Da Wei is my own grandson. Your mother-in-law isn’t related by blood and probably won’t bother with your affairs anyway."
Luo Cuilan saw Zhou Yuni agreed and was imdiately happy to go back and move her stuff, "Alright, I’ll move Da Wei’s stuff over to your place now. In about ten days, I’ll head to the city."
"Are you still going to that place your eldest brother got for you last year?" Zhou Yuni called out to Luo Cuilan, sounding a bit puzzled, "Wasn’t your spot taken over by your sister-in-law? Can you still get in?"
Speaking of her sister-in-law, Luo Cuilan clenched her teeth.
Originally, she planned to take care of her child until he was at least one year old before going out to work. But when Zhang Jianguo called her the other ti, she could clearly hear her sister-in-law speaking on the other end, and she was speaking in such a coquettish tone, God knows what they were up to.
In fact, when she was ho, she had already heard so rumors that there was sothing fishy going on between Zhang Jianguo and Zhang Xuehua.
She always thought Zhang Xuehua had a bewitching air about her, speaking harshly to others like so shrew, but her tone was quite different when she spoke with Zhang Jianguo. However, since she had no concrete evidence, she didn’t dare to speak out.
After all, if she were to speak out, it would be airing the family’s dirty laundry.
Even though Zhang Xuehua and Zhang Jianguo are not blood-related, they grew up together like siblings. If there actually was sothing between them, other people would see it as a preposterous matter.
She thought about it and decided she couldn’t just let those two be together. She had to go there and keep an eye on things, so despite her child not yet being half a year old, she was planning to go out to work.
But in front of Zhou Yuni, she couldn’t speak of her concerns, so she said, "It’s fine. I made a call to Jianguo’s place yesterday, and he said the factory is hiring these days. He has already spoken to soone to reserve a spot for ."
"Okay." Zhou Yuni agreed after hearing this but then thought for a mont and said, "In a few days, I’ll have your father go to your house to move Da Wei’s things. I’m busy these next few days."
Upon hearing this, Luo Cuilan’s eyes briefly brightened and she asked Zhou Yuni, "What’s up?"
"I..." Zhou Yuni began to say but then changed her tone, "Isn’t your sister getting engaged? I need to make so arrangents for her too."
Luo Cuilan looked at Fang Pingying and gave a faint smile, "Sure."
Having made arrangents with Zhou Yuni, Luo Cuilan was ready to take her son back ho to pack their belongings. But as she passed by the yard, Xu He, who was leaning on the lounge chair, said with a bit of provocation, "Every ti you visit your maternal ho, you talk in whispers, as if anyone is eager to eavesdrop on your conversations."
Luo Cuilan stopped in her tracks, turned towards Xu He and retorted with sarcasm, "Aren’t you the sa every ti you go back to your mother’s house, always sneaking around?"
"I..."
Before Xu He could finish speaking, Luo Cuilan cut her off with narrowed eyes and a complex expression, warning her, "I can’t be bothered to argue with you, but Xu He, I advise you to stop doing those conscienceless deeds, or sooner or later you’ll get what’s coming to you from the heavens."
Xu He didn’t understand what Luo Cuilan ant, but she couldn’t stand being maligned by Luo Cuilan. She stood up with a bang, pointed at Luo Cuilan and said, "What conscienceless things have I done?"
But Luo Cuilan was sowhat odd today, she didn’t continue to argue with Xu He. She just looked at her with a dark smile and then went back ho holding her son.
Xu He felt puzzled; Luo Cuilan was not soone to seek peace. Every ti she ca over, she would start an argunt over nothing, but today she let it go so easily.
Moreover, Luo Cuilan was acting quite strangely today, saying things that were incomprehensible.
Xu He was baffled for a long ti and couldn’t figure out what was going on. When Zhou Yuni ca out, Xu He imdiately went up to her and asked, "Mom, what did Luo Cuilan talk to you about just now?"
