The voluptuous and beautiful nanny, Technician Shen fell for her.

Su Nianhe was terrified. She immediately loosened her grip on the clothes in her hand, shrank back, and bumped her lower back directly against the edge of the sink.

She frantically tried to grab a rag to pretend to wipe the countertop, her hands and feet trembling, her face turning as red as a ripe tomato.

Shen Huai, however, showed no sign of panic.

He slowly straightened up, took a half-step back, and widened the crucial distance between them. With a long reach, he casually picked up an empty glass from beside the cutting board.

Wang Liping walked to the kitchen door, clutching a woven snakeskin bag in her hand.

She stood by the door frame, her gaze shifting back and forth between Shen Huai and Su Nianhe twice.

The kitchen was so small, the younger brother-in-law was standing there with an empty cup, and the maid was idly swiping around by the sink with her head down.

"Xiao Huai, you haven't connected the water yet?" Wang Liping asked, her tone slightly inquisitive.

"The water wasn't boiled yet." He poured half a glass of water, then turned to look at Wang Liping. "Did you find the bag, sister-in-law?"

"Found it." Wang Liping rolled up the snakeskin bag and gestured towards Su Nianhe. "Nianhe, hurry up. You've taken the money, don't dawdle here. Come with me to the maid's room to pack up your odds and ends. Our house is small, so it'll be better to clear it out sooner."

Su Nianhe obediently agreed, dried her hands on the apron, and hung the apron behind the door.

She lowered her head, looking like a submissive wife, and followed Wang Liping out of the kitchen.

Shen Huai, carrying the half-full glass of water, followed the two out at a leisurely pace.

There was no one in the living room; the elderly couple hadn't returned yet.

Wang Liping walked ahead, plotting how well she would handle things tonight and how she would explain it to her mother-in-law, while also portraying Su Nianhe as an ungrateful wretch who couldn't endure hardship and ran away on her own.

Shen Huai walked behind, took a sip of cold water, and spoke in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft.

"Sister-in-law."

Wang Liping stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"

Shen Huai, with one hand in his trouser pocket, holding a water glass, looked at Wang Liping.

"She's all alone in Jiang City, with no relatives or friends. You just gave her forty yuan, which should only last her for about half a month. What if she can't find work, has nowhere to live, and can't even afford food after a month? What are you going to do then?"

Wang Liping pursed her lips: "That's her business. Does our family have to take care of her for the rest of her life? She chose her own path, and she has her own legs to walk on."

“Of course, our family doesn’t need to take care of her forever.” Shen Huai took a step forward. “But if she ends up on the streets, or goes to the neighborhood committee crying and complaining, and people ask, saying she was kicked out of Mayor Shen’s house in the municipal government compound, what will people say?”

Wang Liping was stunned.

"People will say that the Shen family mistreated the nanny, driving a perfectly good young woman to the brink of despair." Shen Huai laid out the problem in front of her, "Dad values ​​family reputation the most. If this gets out, you know his temper."

Wang Liping's expression changed, and her previous smugness dissipated considerably.

Shen Huai didn't stop, and continued, "That's not the most troublesome part."

"Is there any other trouble?" Wang Liping asked quickly.

"If she really has no other way to make a living, she can go back to the Shen family." Shen Huai said casually, holding his water glass. "Anyway, Mom is quite satisfied with her taking care of Ping An. If she really can't survive outside, she can come back and cry a bit. Mom's heart will soften, and maybe she'll let her stay and work. Anyway, our family is lacking someone quick and efficient right now."

These words hit Wang Liping right where it hurts.

She went through so much trouble, even spending her own money, to finally get rid of this nanny who was an eyesore to her.

If this girl comes back in less than a month, then all her money will have been wasted, and she'll have offended her for nothing.

Absolutely not.

A good horse doesn't turn back to eat the grass it already grazed. Now that this nanny has left the Shen family, we absolutely cannot let her come back and get in our way.

Wang Liping's mind works incredibly fast.

She glanced at Shen Huai and chuckled dryly, "Little Huai, you're overthinking it. She's got hands and feet; how could she starve to death?"

Shen Huai didn't reply, picked up his water glass, turned around, and went upstairs.

Wang Liping felt uneasy as she led Su Nianhe into the nanny's room.

The room was small, containing only a hardboard bed and a small wooden cabinet.

Su Nianhe took the old canvas bag and stuffed her old clothes into it.

Standing to the side, Wang Liping looked at Su Nianhe's fair face and alluring figure, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what Shen Huai had just said made sense.

If this little vixen stays in Jiang City, she might just wander back to the compound one day.

Only by getting rid of her completely and sending her back to the countryside can we eliminate any future troubles.

Wang Liping gritted her teeth, reached into her handbag, and pulled out her wallet.

She counted the money and reluctantly took five yuan.

The money given to Su Nianhe was intended for her to buy a new dress at the department store, and now it's all gone.

But you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

"Nianhe," Wang Liping said in a more earnest tone as she walked over and patted Su Nianhe on the shoulder.

Su Nianhe stopped what she was doing and turned around: "Sister-in-law Wang?"

"Sister-in-law, I've been thinking about it, and it really isn't easy for a young girl like you in Jiang City." Wang Liping handed over five yuan. "Take this money. It's extra for you. Go to the train station and buy a ticket back to the Southern Province. What are you doing staying in Jiang City, a country girl like you? Everything here costs money, from food and clothing to lodging and transportation. It's better to go back to the village, find an honest man to marry, that's the proper way out."

Holding the extra five yuan, Su Nianhe watched as Wang Liping earnestly advised her to return to her hometown and get married, and finally, the thought in her mind came to a head.

She said that Shen Huai was holding a water glass in the corridor just now, so why did he have to talk to Wang Liping about those grand principles?

They were afraid she would end up homeless, afraid she would go back to the Shen family and cry that Aunt Liu was soft-hearted.

He wasn't really afraid of her coming back; he was subtly hinting at something to Wang Liping.

Wang Liping hates trouble the most, and she's even more afraid that this "vixen" will return to the Shen family and steal the limelight again.

When Shen Huai amplified this possibility, Wang Liping was so frightened that she even took out her own money to buy a train ticket, almost as if she was about to be packed up and stuffed into the train car.

This man is more cunning than a lotus root.

The door to the nanny's room was wide open, and Wang Liping was watching Su Nianhe stuff clothes into an old canvas bag.

Suddenly, a very loud "quack quack" came from the yard, followed by the sound of an old hen flapping its wings.

Wang Liping frowned and turned to look outside.

An elderly woman with gray hair, wearing a dark blue jacket, stepped across the kitchen threshold and headed straight for the room where people were making noise.

The old woman was holding a lively hen upside down in her left hand, pinching the wing of a fat duck in her right hand, and wearing a pair of black cloth shoes covered in yellow mud.

When Wang Liping saw who it was, her expression changed several times before she forced a smile.

"Grandma, why did you suddenly come all the way from the countryside?"

She called out for someone, but her body betrayed her by taking two large steps back and vigorously waving her hand under her nose.

The chickens and ducks must have been startled on the way, and after being cooped up in the sweltering heat, they carried an extremely unpleasant stench of poultry and excrement that wafted straight into people's noses.

Grandma Shen, with her sharp hearing and keen eyesight, clearly saw Wang Liping's disdainful actions.

She ignored her eldest granddaughter-in-law and simply put the chickens and ducks she was holding on the ground.

The old hen, now free, immediately began to flutter about in the cramped nanny's room, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Oh my god!" Wang Liping screamed and jumped out of the door, afraid of getting her mid-heeled sandals dirty.

Grandma Shen ignored her, her gaze falling on Su Nianhe, and then on the old canvas bag that was half-packed on the bed.

"Who is this girl? What are you packing your bags for?" The old lady's voice was loud and clear, full of energy.

Wang Liping, speaking through the doorframe and covering her nose with a handkerchief, said, "Grandma, this is the nanny we hired. She doesn't want to work here anymore and is about to leave."

The old lady looked Su Nianhe up and down.

Su Nianhe looked like a wronged little wife, her hands clasped neatly in front of her, her head bowed and eyes red, looking extremely pitiful.

The old lady had lived most of her life and had seen all kinds of people.

Seeing Su Nianhe's appearance and Wang Liping's eager-to-get-out-of-jail-her-own-them-away-from-the-others-too-hurry-get-out-of ...t-get-out-of-the-others

"Don't try to fool me!" Old Mrs. Shen pointed at Wang Liping's nose and scolded, "This girl looks honest and simple, it must be you, you jinx, who made her suffer again! You're always acting all sly and wicked, you don't do anything proper, all you do is bully people."

Wang Liping's face turned red and white as she was scolded, but since this was Shen Wanshan's own mother, she didn't dare to talk back and could only worry helplessly.

"Grandma, it's not that I kicked her out, she wanted to leave on her own. I even paid her extra for her wages."
