80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 374 Who is the boss after all?

The two chatted as they walked home.

Li Yingtang stepped into the courtyard and noticed two potted plants casually placed against the wall. Her smile gradually faded, and she called out to Aunt Guo, "Who gave you these potted plants?"

“A young man,” Aunt Guo said.

"Is he fat or thin? What does he look like? Did he say his name?" Li Yingtang asked three questions in a row.

Aunt Guo: "She's thin, and I didn't pay much attention to her appearance. Her name was something like 'Honest,' but I didn't quite catch it. She said she had a lot of classes at school today, and she took some time out to congratulate you on moving."

Qin Xian walked to the corner and picked up the potted plant: "Why not put it in the greenhouse?"

Aunt Guo's eyes lit up as she proudly expressed her opinion: "These potted plants are no good. They look lush and green, but two of them together would only cost five cents at most. They're nowhere near as nice as the expensive flowers grown in the greenhouse. They look shabby in here. I'll throw them away when I go out in a bit."

“It’s a small gift but a big sentiment. It’s not easy for a student like him to spare five cents.” Qin Xian knew a lot about Cheng Shi’s situation.

He receives a stipend of twenty-five yuan a month.

Most of it is given to the family, and the remaining 50 cents is the other party's daily food allowance.

Aunt Guo argued, "There's really no need to maintain a relationship like this. Like my former employers, they never associate with poor people. Poor people like to take advantage of others. Xiao Qin, I've been there, you can trust me. Just like that Sister Cheng who came today, she brought a bag of cheap vegetables, but how much did she end up taking away?"

It's both big pig's trotters and roast duck.

None of it has been served yet.

Li Yingtang: "..." (Sweat!)

Who will be the boss in the end?

Qin Xian: "I've heard you mention your previous employer several times. It seems you learned a lot about interpersonal relationships from your former employer. Why didn't you continue working there?"

Aunt Guo's eyes flashed with smugness when she heard the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, she said in an unnatural tone, "His family doesn't pay wages on time."

Li Yingtang guessed that her former employer had gone to jail, and said bluntly, "Don't come tomorrow. My family doesn't need a housekeeper who caters to different people."

Aunt Guo is quite similar to Aunt Lu from Ding Xuan's family earlier; she takes herself too seriously.

She was just dressed a bit plainly, but Aunt Lu assumed she was a beggar and even targeted her.

Aunt Guo was equally clueless.

"This, this..." Aunt Guo panicked: "If there's a problem, let's talk about it. I'll definitely correct it."

Li Yingtang mentally calculated the other party's salary: "Your salary for the past few days. I'll give you half an hour to clean up. If you're late, I'll throw you out."

There are wooden stakes in the courtyard.

She went over to hit him.

Aunt Guo was terrified. During the few days she stayed there, the male landlord got up early every day to practice boxing, and this girl was directing him. She thought the girl was just playing around, but it turned out she was his master. "I, I'm leaving. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone as capable as me."

Li Yingtang remained silent, thinking to herself, "If I can't find you, I won't look for you either. You have absolutely no sense of propriety."

Aunt Guo was afraid of being beaten, so she quickly went back to her room to pack her luggage.

He walked over to Li Yingtang with his bag on his back: "The meat from the kitchen."

"You don't get any." After finishing her boxing, Li Yingtang did pull-ups on the horizontal bar.

Aunt Guo: "."

Qin Xian was somewhat helpless. She had just been allowed to stretch her muscles and bones a little today, and she did this.

After Aunt Guo left.

Qin Xian complained softly, "Now I have to do all the housework again. She does a good job with housework, and it will be hard to find someone better if you kick her out. Besides, she was introduced by your grandfather, so how could he not investigate her beforehand? At least he's sure she's clean-cut. Or you can kick her out when you find someone else."

"So what if Grandpa introduced her? It should still be opened. I'm just an eyesore if she stays. You'll have to work hard for a couple of days. How about we get a male nanny? Pick one who's good-looking, has good character, and is a better cook than you," Li Yingtang said with a smile.

Qin Xian: "Don't even think about it." Good looks? Good character? And even better cooking skills.

Is that a male nanny?

Male vixen!

As the two were talking, the dog suddenly barked a few times.

Qin Xian thought the nanny had forgotten something, so she left and then returned.

As soon as the door opened, Xi Yue's figure came into view.

"Come with me to the team."

"Wait a moment, I'll tell Tangtang." Qin Xian hurriedly went back to find Li Yingtang. A moment later, she returned and said to Xi Yue, "Let's go."

Xi Yue scoffed: "She's henpecked. She has to report to her husband wherever she goes."

Qin Xian readily admitted, "Yes, I'm henpecked." Isn't it good to have someone keeping an eye on you?
He used to be a loner, and no one cared whether the water was warm or the tea was cold.

He didn't want to live like that for even a single day.

"."

Li Yingtang stayed in the study writing job advertisements.

Before dark, the notices were posted all over the nearby bulletin boards.

The next morning, someone came to apply for the job.

Those with vague identity information, accents different from the locals, older age, or stingy appearance were all excluded by her.

After a day of picking and choosing, I selected two aunties.

One of them was surnamed Yu, and was thirty-eight years old.

A man surnamed Wang, forty years old.

Average appearance, average build.

“There are only two people in my family right now. After I have my baby next year, my father-in-law will come to live with us. In addition to doing our laundry and cooking, you will also need to clean the yard and backyard,” Li Yingtang clearly stated her requirements, including details on how to handle guests bringing gifts.

If a stranger visits and she is not home, she must not let them in.

“I know all of that,” Aunt Wang said.

Li Yingtang: "It's good that you know."

Aunt Yu asked, "When can I start work?"

"tomorrow."

"."

As soon as Qin Xian finished work, Li Yingtang told him that she had hired housekeepers. "I didn't do anything else today, I just interviewed housekeepers and ended up hiring two."

"Wouldn't two be too many?"

Li Yingtang: "Such a big house, one person can't clean it all. Instead of spending money to hire someone to clean it every now and then, it's better to hire more people."

Qin Xian stopped asking and changed the subject, saying, "There's something I need to tell you."

It turned out that Director Huang told Qin Xian that the institute had two spots for students to study abroad for six months.

Director Huang took a liking to him and asked for his opinion, but he did not reply immediately.

“I want to discuss something with you. Four months after I leave, you can go there as a dependent, and after you finish your postpartum confinement, we can come back together.”

Li Yingtang disagreed, arguing that the management of doctors in this era was not as lenient as it would be decades later.

Once exposed, it will be a blow to his reputation.

This will inevitably have an impact on his future.

She analyzed the pros and cons for him.

Qin Xian didn't care: "It's not easy for a woman to give birth and raise a child alone. Mothers have to go through so much hardship. I want to be with you."

He had a long memory and knew that his mother's difficulties were not just financial.

“Why would you stay with me while I was studying? Your mother’s situation was different from mine. I had many friends, my grandparents were good to me, your father was there, and there were two nannies at home. I had plenty of people to keep me company. It’s better for you to leave me the medicine to get back in shape than anything else.”

Qin Xian understood what Li Yingtang meant.

A person who doesn't put themselves first has no right to care about anyone else. "But, when I come back, you'll have a child. Will I be useless then?"

Li Yingtang laughed out loud: "Am I that fickle? You should have some confidence in yourself."

Who would she even be attracted to? She's even more suspicious than me! "We have a marriage certificate, okay? Your name's on the property deed. If you're no longer needed, why should I bother with all this?"

Qin Xian chuckled: "I'm only feeling anxious because of you."

"Don't overthink it, okay?"
