Mr. Li didn't realize that if he didn't give Mrs. Li a single penny, his high salary wouldn't be attractive to her. Seeing that Mrs. Li refused, he left. After all, he was a man who cared about his reputation. Since Mrs. Li didn't give him face, he certainly wouldn't pester her anymore. You know, he had already humbled himself enough by taking the initiative to ask for remarriage, so naturally he didn't want to humble himself even more.

Because he failed to remarry Li's mother, he told Li's grandfather about changing the person, but Li's father would be even less likely to agree, because he couldn't agree.

Because the second branch of the family concealed the fact that the salary for hiring someone to take care of Grandpa Li was paid by Grandpa Li, the third branch of the family was unaware of this and had not yet caused any trouble.

Although the third branch of the family didn't come to cause trouble, things have been chaotic at the Li family's place recently. The reason is simple: both Li's eldest sister-in-law and Li Qiuyun have given birth one after the other.

Then another problem arises: who will take care of their children?

It was arranged beforehand that Grandpa Li would sleep with Li Zhiguo's eldest son, and Grandma Li would sleep with either Li Zhiguo's daughter or one of Li Qiuyun's children.

Now Li Zhiguo's eldest son can still sleep in the bunk above his grandfather, but Li's grandmother has been paralyzed by a stroke and moved to the third house. Naturally, she can no longer take care of Li Zhiguo's daughter and Li Qiuyun's child. So, what will happen to their child?

They could certainly take care of themselves, but the couple had too many children, and they simply couldn't handle it.

Besides, they have to work during the day, so who will help them take care of the children? Especially Li Qiuyun, who will have to go back to work after her maternity leave, and her husband Cao Li will also have to work. So, not only will there be no one to take care of their two children at night, but there will also be no one to take care of them during the day. Unlike Li Zhiguo and his wife, whose wife doesn't work, at least they can take care of the children at home during the day.

Li Qiuyun and her husband naturally didn't want Ding Ping to help them take care of the baby. Not only did she not know how to take care of the baby, but even if she did, they didn't trust Ding Ping.

Asking Cao's mother to help with childcare is also impossible. She has a whole family to support, so she wouldn't have time to help with the baby, especially two newborns. Even if she did have the time, she probably wouldn't dare to come and help, fearing that if she didn't take good care of the baby, Li Qiuyun would hold her accountable.

Now, Li Qiuyun's feelings became complicated again.

In the original world, she only had one child, and then left him to be cared for by Li's mother. During the day, Li's mother took care of her child and Li's grandfather, and she only took care of the child after get off work, so there was no trouble at all.

Now that Li's mother is gone, Ding Ping has taken over. Even if Ding Ping takes care of the child, she won't do it for free, because Ding Ping has already said that Li Qiuyun will only help her take care of the child if she pays her fifty yuan a month. Otherwise, Ding Ping will not take care of the child.

Actually, Ding Ping said this because she was afraid that Li Qiuyun and her father would ask her to help take care of Li Qiuyun's child, so she asked for a high price in advance to dissuade them from the idea.

Of course, it's not entirely a lie; it's partly true. Because babies are hard to take care of, one is one thing, but now there are two. She definitely wouldn't take care of them for less than fifty yuan; it's too much work.

But Li Qiuyun thought these words were an exorbitant demand. She sneered at the relatives and friends who came to inquire about the matter, saying that she had never intended for Ding Ping to take care of her in the first place, and that Ding Ping was just being self-important.

Actually, if Ding Ping hadn't charged her, she probably would have let Ding Ping take care of the child. Forget about her saying she didn't trust her. In the current situation, she really had no other choice. She would be grateful as long as someone was willing to help her take care of the child. She had no right to be picky.

But it wasn't because Ding Ping had asked for such a high price; her and Cao Li's combined salaries were barely enough to pay her. So naturally, she mocked Ding Ping for being delusional, saying she had no intention of letting her take care of the child. Seeing that Li Qiuyun had fallen for her trick and said she had no intention of letting her take care of the child, Ding Ping was satisfied.

Not to mention that she knew Li Qiuyun's salary, she couldn't afford fifty yuan at all. Even if she could, she wouldn't want to take care of the child because children are hard to raise, and if something happened, she would be blamed, which she couldn't bear.

Li Qiuyun declared that she didn't need Ding Ping to guide her, which put her in trouble because she couldn't find anyone else to guide her.

Cao's mother had something to do and couldn't take care of her; her biological mother also had a lot of things to do and couldn't take care of her either.

In fact, Li's mother would be the most suitable person to take care of the child. She has a good temper and it would be most convenient for her to take care of the child. However, now that her father has divorced Li's mother, it is no longer possible for her to have Li's mother take care of the child.

So Li Qiuyun, who had regretted seeing the dream content before, was even more regretful now. She was thinking about why she had always spoken ill of her mother in front of her father, which led to her father kicking her out. Now, she couldn't find anyone to help her take care of the child.

Actually, when she spoke ill of Li's mother, it was only because she didn't want Li's father to like Li's mother and daughter and give them money. She never intended for Li's father to kick Li's mother out, because she knew that as Li's grandparents got older, they would eventually need someone to take care of them, and after she got married and had children, Li's mother would be of use. She couldn't possibly kick her out. Little did she know that she had gone too far and made Li's father kick Li's mother out. Now it's too late to regret it.

If Li's mother were still at home, she could have Li's mother help her take care of the children during the day, just like in her dream, and one of the children could sleep with Li's mother at night, which would perfectly solve the problem.

Moreover, relying on the fact that she wasn't born to Li's mother and that Li's father doted on her, she could nitpick at Li's mother at will, and Li's mother wouldn't dare to utter a sound. Unlike now, not only is there no one to help her take care of the child, but even if Ding Ping helps her, she definitely wouldn't dare to nitpick at her, because Ding Ping isn't as easy to talk to as Li's mother. If you dare to say a word to Ding Ping, she can immediately quit and leave.

Of course, she couldn't get Ding Ping to take care of her, because Ding Ping had no intention of doing so.

Seeing this situation, she asked Sister-in-law Li, saying that raising one child is the same as raising three, and asked if she could leave the children with her during the day and take care of them herself at night.

Although sleeping with two babies at night will definitely affect her sleep, there's no other way, since no one else will help her sleep with the children.

But naturally, Sister-in-law Li wouldn't agree to help her take care of it.

Putting aside the fact that Li Qiuyun is stingy and the issue of money, even if she offered money, Sister-in-law Li wouldn't dare to agree. After all, if such a young child develops a health problem, given Li Qiuyun's temper, she might even demand compensation for medical expenses. The money earned from taking care of the child wouldn't even be enough to cover the child's medical bills. How could Sister-in-law Li possibly be willing to take care of the child? This isn't taking care of a child; it's like carrying two huge bombs that could explode any day now.

Li Qiuyun was furious when she saw that her sister-in-law Li refused. She felt that among all the people, her sister-in-law Li was the most suitable to take care of the children. After all, she had her own children to take care of. Whether she took care of one or three children, it was the same. Why shouldn't she help her?

But they just wouldn't agree, not even for money. No matter how angry she was, there was nothing she could do. (End of Chapter)
