Chapter 12: Good Ideas
Li Ying panicked and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Sweet, why are you still crying? Don't cry, don't cry! Don't be angry, Auntie is the most dear to you, you know. What is that country fisherwoman, I can't be angry with her! Ignore her! β
Qin Tiantian's face was full of tears, and she sobbed aggrievedly.
"Auntie, she already knew that you were going to get rid of her, and she didn't dare to throw fire on you, so she deliberately got angry with me...... Humiliate me. β
Li Ying pulled her sleeves and helped her wipe away the tears on her face.
"Don't cry. She dared to mess around when Archie came back, usually like a soft-footed shrimp, easy to handle. Sensei worried! When Archie is gone, I want her to look good! β
Qin Tiantian looked at Li Ying's dirty cuffs, and hid in disgust.
"Auntie, didn't you say that when Brother Qi comes back, you will drive her away immediately? You've been waiting for this day for years, and you can't wait any longer. β
Li Ying was speechless for a while, and she was speechless: "She relied on Archie and refused to let go...... Didn't you see that too? Moreover, Archie is now a person with a work unit, and if he wants to divorce, he has to do that - a divorce application, and then he has to find a leader for approval. They even have a three-year-old son, and it's not so easy to leave. β
Qin Tiantian was anxious and asked in a panic: "What should I do then?" My dad asked the teacher, and my college entrance examination score was not good, and I couldn't go to college. I don't care if I go to school or not, but I can't leave my job unsettled. β
"Don't worry, don't worry." Li Ying soothed: "Archie is at a high level in their factory, and he will definitely have a way to solve your work problems." β
Qin Tiantian rolled her eyes and asked, "What about me and Brother Qi?" Auntie, you and my mother both agreed that when I grow up, I will marry Brother Qi. Who knew that when he went to Chongqing, he was entangled by the fisherman's girl...... Boom! β
Li Ying pursed her lips and whispered: "Archie can't help it, the country fishergirl saved him at the beginning, and she stuck to him, and Archie is a grateful person, so she had to let her rely on it." β
Qin Tiantian hugged her arm and coquettishly said: "Auntie, that country woman is pestering him, and she will definitely be dragged down in the future." You have to think about his future and for me~~"
"But-" Li Ying explained in embarrassment: "That fisherman girl is still quite capable." Over the years, she has worked at home every day, and she is cooking pigs and chickens in the front yard and backyard. She's just a big coward, and she's a little cowardly. Archie isn't here, and if I want to get her away, I'll just need a finger. But what about the family? Neither girl can work, and I'm old. Xiaohuzi has always been with her, and that kid is naughty. Push her away, where will I be able to survive alone? β
Qin Tiantian grinned, and her mouth seemed to be smeared with honey.
"Auntie, without her before, don't you still keep the house and the outside in order?"
Her mother and Li Ying have known each other since they were children, and their mother's family is on the outskirts of Shangjing, and they are neighbors who know their roots.
Her mother said that Aunt Ying loved to be lazy when she was a child, and it was thanks to her that she was tall and beautiful, otherwise she would not have been able to get married.
"Auntie, now that many young people from the countryside have returned to the city, I believe that Brother Yi will be able to come back soon. When the time comes, there will be one more young adult in the family, and you will always be capable, so you don't have to worry at all. β
The words are very good, who doesn't like to listen to nice words, and Li Ying is no exception.
Li Ying smiled, but still hesitated.
"That's right...... I'm quite capable. I can't stand being old, and I can't work as well as you young people. Ah Xuan is going to take the college entrance examination in July next year, and she has to study for a book. Ah Miao is also in junior high school, and she has more homework than before. You can't do the work at home, right? So this matter has to be pondered again. β
The eldest daughter, who has never liked to talk, can always prick her heart when she speaks.
Last night's sentence was like a scoop of cold water in the winter, and it made her feel cold all at once!
If the fisherwoman in the countryside is driven away, who will do the work at home?
As long as Li Ying thought of this problem, her heart was entangled to death.
Qin Tiantian's family background has always been good, and she has not lacked food or clothing since she was a child. Her mother spoiled her, and she was usually reluctant to do housework.
People who don't work with their hands understand the triviality of housework!
"Auntie, why don't you do it." Qin Tiantian seriously proposed: "When the time comes, hire a female worker at home to help clean and cook, you only need to bring Xiaohuzi, so that you will be much easier." β
Li Ying thought it was a good idea at first glance, but when she thought about it, her old face quickly collapsed.
"How can a female worker get thirty or forty yuan a monthβit's expensive! Archie sends 60 yuan every month, and all the food and use costs money, and there is not much left every month, how can it be enough to hire people! β
If you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Hiring someone to do the work sounds great, but the most important thing is missing!
Qin Tiantian was extremely aggrieved, and whimpered and cried again.
"Auntie, what can I do then? I've been waiting for Brother Qi for so many years...... If I delay any longer, I'll soon become an old girl. β
Li Ying hurriedly coaxed her not to cry, and explained with a wry smile: "Sweet, Auntie is also very annoying, racking her brains to think of it!" β
On the ground, Qin Tiantian stopped crying, and grabbed Li Ying's big fat hand.
"Auntie, I suddenly thought of a good idea!"
Li Ying smiled in surprise and asked excitedly, "Really?!" What's the best way to do it? Fast! Tell me about it! β
Qin Tiantian pursed her lips and chuckled, a bright calculation flashed under her eyes, and the cold light was gloomy.

North of the city, Gu family
Gu Qi took his wife and children home, and first helped Chen Xingling back to the room to rest.
After a few years of not coming back, his room has long since changed, and his wife and children's belongings can be seen everywhere, except for the bookshelves and books by the window. The room was well organized and spotless, which shows that the wife usually takes a lot of trouble to clean it.
Yesterday I was in a hurry to get home, I didn't have time to look carefully, and after turning around, I found that the furniture at home has not changed much, but it is much cleaner and tidier than before.
He knew very well what the old mother and sisters were, and it was obvious that these were all earned by the hard work of his wife.
After a while, he poured half a glass of warm water into the house.
"Xing'er, I'll go to the pharmacy and the grocery market."
Chen Xingling was covered with a quilt, and his body was a lot warmer, but his head was still groggy.
Lightheadedness was very uncomfortable, and she was about to find an opportunity to enter the space to hurriedly find some supplements to eat, and when she heard that he was going out to buy something, she hurriedly agreed.
"It's sunny outside, but it's still very cold, so remember to wear an extra coat."
Gu Qi nodded indifferently, turned around and opened the duffel bag and took out another military coat.
He is very tall, about 1.823 meters by sight, his waist is straight as loose, tall and handsome, and he does not feel bloated at all after putting on the coat, but gives people a neat and capable feeling.
Xiaohuzi was playing on his other duffel bag, and soon got tired of playing, and ran to the side of the bed and shouted, "Mom! I'm going to drink water! β
