Yuan Chun didn’t really care about that one yuan bus fare, but she deliberately wanted to disgust Zhao Dongxiu.
Seeing Zhao Dongxiu get angry made Yuan Chun very happy.
As expected, Zhao Dongxiu’s face turned dark with anger. But to get her sister-in-law to leave quickly, she still handed over one yuan to her, "Take it. In the future, you’d better not come to my house anymore. Even if you get married, don’t come again. My family doesn’t welcome you."
Yuan Chun pocketed the money with disdain, snorting, "You think I like coming here? If it wasn’t for my brother’s sake, I wouldn’t come to be your free nanny."
Yuan Chun carried her luggage downstairs.
Someone saw her and called out, "Comrade Xiao Wei, where are you taking that luggage?"
"Grandma Zhang, I’m going home." Yuan Chun smiled bitterly, "Isn’t it because my sister-in-law was fired over a fight? She blames me for it and wants to send me back. I thought since my sister-in-law has no job now, she could stay home to watch the kids, so I’m packing up to go home. I miss my parents dearly; it’s been a while since I last saw them."
"Oh dear, your sister-in-law was fired?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a pity. Although it was a temporary job, she made nearly twenty yuan a month."
"Ah, who can you really blame? Isn’t it Zhao Dongxiu’s unreasonable behavior?"
"She brought it on herself."
"Yuan Chun girl, are you really going back? Your brother hasn’t returned from his trip yet. Maybe you should wait until he comes back."
"Yes, yes, Wei Cai Gou is also coming back soon. It won’t make much of a difference if you stay for another two or three days."
"Your sister-in-law is something else. She got fired because she started a fight and even mistreated you. What’s that got to do with you? You’re the victim here."
"Ha, how can you reason with an unreasonable woman? Now that Zhao Dongxiu is fired, she certainly wouldn’t let Comrade Xiao Wei stay at home doing nothing."
"Zhao Dongxiu’s stinginess is well-known."
A large group of women, free from work, surrounded Yuan Chun, chattering non-stop.
Yuan Chun made a bitter and helpless expression, "Actually, my sister-in-law doesn’t have it easy. She has to give half of her monthly salary to her parents. If she doesn’t save some money, how would she ever save up? Now that she’s fired, there will be no salary and who knows if she’ll still have to send money to her family every month. Speaking of which, ever since my brother got married, the money he used to send our parents every month was canceled because my sister-in-law made a fuss about the expenses after having kids, and so on..."
"Sigh... my sister-in-law, maybe she has her difficulties too."
Yuan Chun, like a manipulative angel, dug a pit for Zhao Dongxiu to fall into.
Hmph, thinking she could just leave without a fuss, as if lightly painting a cloud—impossible.
"Pretty sister, don’t go, I don’t want you to leave..."
Suddenly, the innocent boy appeared and clung to Yuan Chun’s luggage, tears streaming down his face, "Pretty sister, please stay. If you go, I won’t see my pretty sister again, boo hoo..."
The innocent boy cried heart-wrenchingly, so sorrowful, so sorrowful.
Yuan Chun was embarrassed.
In a difficult situation, she said, "Sanbao, don’t cry. I can’t stay. My sister-in-law’s child will be taken care of by her in the future. I can’t impose and freeload in my brother and sister-in-law’s house. You have to understand."
"Boo hoo, I don’t understand, I don’t understand, I just don’t want the pretty sister to leave." The innocent boy cried with both tears and snot, which really tugged at the heartstrings of the onlookers.
The innocent boy was kind-hearted and pure, with an unblemished appearance, and sweet-talking skills, which endeared him to the group of women.
