My wife is in my arms

Chapter 800 The Little Girl
Finish taking the medicine.

Zhang You brewed a cup of tea and came out.

He came back early today mainly because Xu Qingya had a job to attend, something like a jewelry exhibition. She was the spokesperson for one of the jewelry pieces, and as the spokesperson, she had to promote it.

Zhang You didn't express any dissatisfaction. The other party had already given him face by not asking for a penny to help him. It would be really unreasonable to hold a grudge.

However, Zhang You was puzzled by the jewelry brand's choice of Xu Qingya as its spokesperson. His second brother was undeniably handsome, with perfectly proportioned features, an oval face, and skin as white as mutton fat.

Her legs were very long, even longer than Jiang Yiren's. The main reason was that Xu Qingya was quite tall, about 1.75 meters, while Zhang You was only about 1.8 meters. Otherwise, given that girls tend to appear taller, if she wore high heels, she might even look taller than him.

After all, women's high heels are an absolute weapon of mass destruction.

However, some aspects are quite ordinary, and jewelry products are generally chosen for women with more prominent features, because wearing necklaces or gemstones will make them more eye-catching.

But Xu Qingya is out of the question.

Sudden.

Zhang You noticed Jiang Yiren standing in the courtyard making a phone call. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she finally spoke, "Then bring her back first."

"What's wrong!?"

Zhang You asked.

"Your daughter is just looking for trouble."

Jiang Yiren said in an annoyed tone.

"What did they do to you this time!?"

Zhang You asked with a smile, "During this time, if you ask her to do her homework, she does it. After she finishes, she even asks you first before watching cartoons. She's already done this much, so there's no need to be too harsh on her."

Zhang You had been watching Xiao Zishan's recent performance closely. After not doing well on the monthly exam, she knew she needed to work harder.

As soon as he got home, he did his homework. Although his accuracy still couldn't meet Jiang Yiren's standards, one can't impose adult thinking on a child.

It's normal to dawdle a little while doing homework, and to make mistakes on seemingly simple questions. Zhang You didn't believe that Jiang Yiren hadn't made these kinds of mistakes when she was a child.

They still commit the same mistakes.

Now that she's grown up and become a mother, she's applying the same standards her mother used to set for her daughter, seemingly forgetting that she used to be the same way.

You'll find out soon enough.

Jiang Yiren replied.

"Oh, still keeping it a secret!"

Zhang You chuckled casually, not taking it to heart.

What kind of trouble could a little girl cause? At most, she might copy homework at school and get caught by the teacher... But judging from Jiang Yiren's conversation with Sister Ma, who went to pick up Xiao Zishan from school, it didn't seem like that. Zhang You lowered his head, took a sip of water, and asked, "Have you talked to Sister Ma?!"

"We talked about it yesterday, and she said she'd just give her a slight raise, and when I give birth, she'll hire a professional postpartum nanny to help take care of the baby and my own meals."

Jiang Yiren replied.

"Um"

Zhang You nodded.

This was not unexpected for him. His house was quite large, a three-story villa with a roof that also needed maintenance. However, he didn't ask Sister Ma to clean it every day. The first and second floors, as well as the areas he walked through in the yard, needed to be cleaned every day. The third floor and the roof only needed to be cleaned once a week when he had some free time.

Their family consists of only three people, and their diet is unlike that of some other celebrities who would have their housekeeper cook a whole table of dishes even if they couldn't finish their food. They only need four dishes and a soup, and the portions don't need to be too large to avoid waste. Apart from the slight delay in picking up and dropping off Xiao Zishan, there's nothing else to worry about. In particular, Zhang You and Jiang Yiren never bother her when they have guests at home in the evening.

So when one person can handle the workload, they are naturally willing to raise the salary rather than invite another competitor. When Sister Ma returned with Xiao Zishan, Zhang You finally understood what Jiang Yi had meant by "making trouble out of nothing".

Strictly speaking, it wasn't an event, but a person. When Zhang You saw Xiao Zishan walking over with another girl of similar age, he was slightly taken aback.

"welcome"

Zhang You thought his daughter had invited her classmates over to his house that evening! He immediately smiled and said.

"Dad, did Mom tell you?!"

Xiaozi Shan suddenly asked.

"I'm not talking about yourself or your dad."

Jiang Yiren rolled her eyes.

She had long ago taught her daughter not to do good deeds for no reason, and her daughter had agreed at the time, but then forgot about it.

"say what!?"

Zhang You smiled and asked, and when the little girl, who was wearing the same Yaohua International Primary School uniform as his daughter, obediently greeted him with "Hello, Uncle, Hello, Aunt," Zhang You quickly responded.

"mom"

Xiao Zishan called out to her mother.

"Say it yourself"

Jiang Yiren replied, then a smile appeared on her delicate face as she said, "Li Ran, welcome to Auntie's house." When she said the last two words, Jiang Yiren couldn't help but emphasize her tone. Xiao Zishan seemed to sense the anger in her mother's words and shrank back in fright.

Standing to the side, Sister Ma seemed hesitant to speak, but when she heard Jiang Yiren ask her to cook, she went into the kitchen.

Zhang You turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yiren.

If he hadn't realized anything before, he could now see something from Jiang Yiren's reaction.

After all, in his impression, Jiang Yiren was not the kind of woman who couldn't even accept her daughter's classmate coming to visit her home. Since that wasn't the case, there must be other reasons that made her attitude somewhat unusual today.

Realizing this, Zhang You said to Jiang Yiren, "Go and prepare a fruit platter for Li Ran."

Jiang Yiren nodded, then smiled and took the schoolbag from Li Ran, carrying it herself. She then took Li Ran's hand and walked towards the kitchen, saying, "Auntie doesn't know what you like to eat, so you can choose for yourself!"

"Mom, I want to eat grapes."

Xiao Zishan shouted.

"You should think about how to talk to your dad first!"

Jiang Yiren's voice came.

Li Ran, whose little hand was being held by Jiang Yiren, turned to look at Xiao Zishan. Xiao Zishan grinned and immediately returned the smile. But as soon as Li Ran disappeared, her innocent little face fell.

"Tell me about it!"

Zhang You sat on the stone stool, took a sip of tea, and then asked a question.

Even now, he doesn't think that Xiao Zishan can bring much trouble. At most, this girl named Li Ran is on good terms with him, so she invited him to stay at her house for a while, which is not a big deal.
