"May I ask who you are?"

The newcomer pushed aside Sister Wang and entered the courtyard. "Commander Fu, Doctor Su, you said you were hiring, why didn't you say so earlier? There are so many people in our compound, why bother hiring outsiders!"

The residents of the family compound were extremely anxious when they heard that Fu Linchuan was looking for a nanny for his family.

Everyone knows they eat well. Fu Linchuan is rich, and Doctor Su's salary is also high. Although no one knows the exact amount, they guess it's at least fifty or sixty yuan. The two of them together earn nearly two hundred yuan.

Moreover, Xu Meili also has a job and earns twenty-two yuan a month. The Fu family also sends packages and money orders every month. Everyone knows that Fu Linchuan and Su Lingwu are rich.

Such a good opportunity naturally attracts people who want to try their luck.

Fang Hongying saw that Fu Linchuan had brought someone back and became anxious, so she quickly ran over to check on him.

"Sister-in-law, isn't this a family matter?"

Su Lingwu looked at Fang Hongying in confusion. Had she misunderstood something, thinking that because she had accepted her gift, she could interfere in her family affairs?

Su Lingwu knew that the reason Fang Hongying and Gao Yufen gave such a generous gift was because they had given their child antidote pills before. She guessed that it was because the men in their families had spoken up. Fu Linchuan still had to get along with them, so she didn't hold it against them and maintained a peaceful relationship. However, this did not mean that their relationship was so good that she could interfere with her hiring.

"Dr. Su, hiring is no small matter. You should have hired someone we know in our compound. Look at you, you've found someone from out of town, and now you have to arrange accommodation for her. It's just taking care of a child, right? Which woman in our compound can't take care of a child? What do you think of me?"

"I have experience. I raised three children myself, and look how well they've all grown up."

"You've seen my son, he's so strong! I don't need a high salary; I'll come early in the morning to help you take care of him. My two daughters can also come and help; they're very experienced. They raised my son. You hire me, and I'll bring two more helpers for you. You pay one person, but three people doing the work—it's perfect!"

Fang Hongying spoke with foam at the mouth, staring longingly at Su Lingwu.

If I could work at Su Lingwu's house and take care of the children, not only would the children be able to eat good food, but if they had a headache or fever, even if there wasn't a doctor readily available, I might be able to get medicine for free and earn a salary. How great would that be?

"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry, I've already found a suitable candidate, so we don't need anyone for the time being."

"You...think about it some more. She's only just arrived, so maybe she won't do the work to your liking."

Fu Linchuan didn't expect Fang Hongying to come. "Sister-in-law, it's really not suitable for you. You have three children at home who need someone to take care of them. We can't delay your family's affairs. We have our own arrangements at home."

Fang Hongying felt a little unhappy when she saw that Su Lingwu and Fu Linchuan had both refused her. Why would they use strangers when there was such a good opportunity? She had given them so many things, and they didn't even give her any face.

"Sister-in-law, the baby's awake, it's time to feed him, so I won't entertain you any longer." Su Lingwu's intention to get rid of her was quite clear.

Fang Hongying had no choice but to leave unwillingly, glancing at the woman standing by the wall and glaring at her fiercely.

When Sister Wang saw Su Lingwu breastfeeding the baby, she looked at Xu Meili and said, "Sister, I'll go get some warm water."

"Oh, this is the kitchen. There's hot and cold water." Xu Meili led the people over.

Sister Wang fetched some warm water, asked which towel belonged to Su Lingwu, took it, wrung it out in the warm water, and handed it to Su Lingwu. She then took the baby's bib and placed it on her shoulder. After that, she picked up the third child, who had just been breastfed, held him upright against her shoulder, and gently patted him. Soon after, the baby let out a small burp.

While Su Lingwu was breastfeeding, she patted the baby to help him burp and then comforted him.

Seeing that the child had pooped, she showed no disgust, cleaned the child efficiently, and then took the basin to wash the poop ring.

After washing and drying the rings, he came over to continue talking to Su Lingwu, "I don't have many requests, just food and lodging are enough. I will definitely take good care of the child. You must know my situation, I have nowhere to go."

Sister Wang knew that many people were vying for this job, and she didn't want to be fired because she had no other choice.

"Sister Wang, as you can see, my family is indeed struggling. We have three children, and my mom and I are too busy to manage them all. So we're looking for someone to help out. But I won't let you work for nothing. It'll be 25 yuan a month, including room and board. However, you'll have to share a room with my mom and brother."

"I can do it. If there's anything I do wrong, please let me know."

And so, Sister Wang settled down at home.

With Sister Wang at home, things have indeed become much easier. At least Su Lingwu has more free time. Apart from breastfeeding during the day, she doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Sister Wang and Xu Meili kept their home in perfect order.

During the day, the two of them work together to take care of the child and do chores. At night, they bring the child to their room to feed him formula. Zhao Guoyao also has time to go out and play with his friends. However, he spends most of his time at home playing with his three nephews and nieces and helps with household chores whenever he can.

Xu Meili didn't neglect her work, going every other day for more than three hours each time. During this time, the child was taken care of by Su Lingwu and Sister Wang.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, all three children are 100 days old.

Fu Linchuan took out his camera and took many photos of the child, as well as many photos of the whole family.

"Political Commissar, what brings you here?"

Seeing the political commissar's troubled expression, Fu Linchuan's heart skipped a beat. "What happened?"

"Xiao Su, someone from above will come to pick you up in a little while."

"Pick me up?"
