The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Qi Lianxin found that the house was quite clean.

The house was very clean, and the windows were sparkling.

There's still a load of unwashed clothes in the washing machine.

And there was a bowl in the sink.

Qi Lianxin initially thought her son planned to rest for a while before doing these things.

But even after she finished showering and was about to go to bed, the clothes and bowl were still untouched.

Gao Qinghe saw that her mother-in-law wanted to help with the chores, and gently instructed her with a smile:

"It's okay, Mom. A cleaning lady will come to clean it tomorrow."

"What job?" Qi Lianxin didn't understand at first.

Gao Qinghe explained that it was just helping with housework, cleaning once every two days, about two hours each time, for ten yuan.

Qi Lianxin did the math and realized that for this little bit of work, he would have to pay someone 150 yuan a month.

This is much more than she earns by working hard to make buttons!
Qi Lian thought to herself, "I'd rather have this money myself. I'll do the work, and I guarantee it'll be better than any hourly worker."

But as the words were about to come out, he suddenly remembered that he didn't stay in the city every day, so he couldn't earn this money even if he wanted to.

Unless she doesn't go back.

But that's impossible, absolutely impossible!
She came here just to see her grandson and cook for him, the poor thing.

Perhaps it's because of the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren; her biological daughter, Jiang Yu, goes away to university and only comes back once a year for winter break, and she doesn't think much of it.

But she hadn't seen her granddaughter for only a week, and she was already worried about her, thinking about her day and night, so much so that she couldn't sleep well.

Sometimes, when she suddenly hears someone call her "Grandma," she is overjoyed and rushes out to see, thinking it's her granddaughter returning.

When I got to the door, I saw it was the neighbor's kid, and I felt incredibly disappointed.

Every day felt meaningless, but the moment I called my little one after dinner made me truly happy.

Even so, Qi Lianxin never considered leaving the old house to live in the city.

Other elderly women worry that their daughters-in-law will dislike them, but she knows that her own daughter-in-law would love for her to come and do her laundry, cook for her, and take care of her children.

Of course, she did it willingly, since her daughter-in-law was generous and had a sweet tongue.

Not to mention, being with her doesn't mean you have to put up with her.

Oh, I have to put up with all her temper!

But it's better to suffer from the wrath of just one person than to suffer from the wrath of a bunch of messy relatives and friends.

Besides, Qi Lianxin was more than happy to take care of her own precious granddaughter.

The thought of her relatives saying that she didn't care about the old house or the deceased Lao Jiang made it hard for her to let go of her worries.

Besides, there are fields and land in the village, and she can farm to pass the time.

What's in the city?
It's all reinforced concrete, a big square box that confines people. And at her age, no one wants to hire someone her age.

Although I know my daughter-in-law won't mind me staying at home, outsiders will always ask.

She's only fifty years old, and she's sitting at home waiting for her son and daughter-in-law to support her. It sounds terrible to outsiders.

Gao Qinghe had complained to Jiang Baohai before, wondering where his mother got so many "what others said, what relatives said" from.

However, she has plenty of ways and patience to "subdue" her mother-in-law.

Dongdong: [I think you're really too idle!] You should be doing some tasks!

Gao Qinghe dismissed it as a hallucination and ignored it.

The family prepared a separate room for Qi Lianxin.

But Jiang Qiyue insisted on sleeping with her grandmother, clinging to her grandmother's leg and refusing to let go, afraid that when she woke up the next day, her grandmother would go back to her hometown and she wouldn't have any good food left.

So, the grandmother and grandson slept together in Jiang Qiyue's children's room.

Fortunately, the bed is custom-made and can be reassembled into different sizes according to the child's age. When fully unfolded, it is a standard 1.2-meter single bed for teenagers, and even with an adult, it won't feel cramped. We only have it for one day on the weekend.

When the alarm clock rings on Monday morning, even the boss, Jiang Baohai, has to get up early to clock in at the company.

Gao Qinghe said gloatingly, "President Jiang, I told you long ago that the attendance system shouldn't exist. Now you're reaping what you sowed, aren't you?"

Jiang Baohai, lying in bed and unwilling to get up: "."

"Remember to take your daughter downstairs to meet her classmates, then I'll go back to sleep."

Gao Qinghe got up to use the restroom, then went back to bed, covered herself with the cool silk quilt, and continued to sleep.

Jiang Baohai was so jealous he wanted to pinch her cheek, but he was afraid of waking her up, so he could only move his fingers in the air and push the door open to wake his daughter up.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiyue was already up.

Qi Lianxin went to the farmers' market early in the morning, bought meat, vegetables and rice noodles, made some soup, and stir-fried a bowl of minced meat sauce.

Jiang Qiyue was sitting at the dining table, holding her small bowl, happily eating rice noodles.

Grandma also gave her a soft-boiled fried egg.
Perhaps she was just too content, because her little legs were swinging back and forth under the table, and it was clear that she was extremely happy.

Upon seeing her son come out, Qi Lianxin hurriedly told him to wash up and quickly made him a bowl of noodles.

Waking up early and having a hot breakfast is such a wonderful feeling.

As Jiang Baohai ate his meal with relish, he secretly encouraged his wife in his heart—you must keep Ms. Qi Lianxin here, my dear wife!

After the father and daughter finished their breakfast, Jiang Qiyue put on her little backpack and went out with her father.

Qi Lianxin glanced at the time; her daughter-in-law definitely wouldn't wake up at this hour. She followed the father and daughter downstairs, intending to check where her granddaughter's kindergarten was.

Jiang Baohai said, "It's alright, you don't need to take them. The nanny, Sister Zhen, from upstairs will take them to school together. I'll just take Qiyue downstairs to meet them."

Qi Lianxin knew that her son and daughter-in-law's new home was quite upscale in the provincial capital, so it wasn't unusual for the neighbors to have a nanny.

but!

"Are you two crazy? What if the child gets lost if you leave him with someone else?!"

Jiang Baohai calmly explained, "Sister Zhen is trustworthy. This isn't the first time. It's nothing."

Besides, the kindergarten is just across the street, so there's nothing to worry about.

Upon learning that this wasn't the first time this had been done, Qi Lianxin was furious.

But she was never good at arguing; she could only follow behind Sister Zhen to drop off the children with a sullen expression.

Sister Zhen knew this was the neighbor's mother, so she smiled politely and, as usual, took one child's hand in each hand and handed them over to the headmistress.

The teachers all knew the parents and children, and since they lived in the opposite neighborhood, they greeted Jiang Qiyue with familiar greetings.

"Mom didn't get up again today?"

Jiang Qiyue earnestly tried to save face for her mother, "Teacher, Mom will be the first one to pick me up this afternoon!"

That's true. Except for the first day when she forgot her child at the kindergarten, Jiang Qiyue's mother was always the first parent to pick up her child every day after that.

Jiang Qiyue didn't forget to introduce Qi Lianxin, who was following behind her, to the teacher.

"Teacher, this is my grandma. She came to see me specially, and she'll be going back home in a few days."

The little guy said the last sentence with such reluctance.

Qi Lianxin smiled at the teacher, her eyes filled with worry as she watched the little child walk into the school by himself.

Teachers and parents have seen this kind of thing many times, so they told the elderly not to worry, as children are very independent and should not be underestimated.

Qi Lianxin leaned against the school fence and watched for a long time.

It wasn't until Sister Zhen asked her if she wanted to go to the market together that Qi Lianxin came to her senses, quickly waved her hand, and returned to the neighborhood alone.

I thought to myself, when I get back I'll tell Xiaohe that we can't let outsiders take care of the child!
Qi Lian was in a hurry and didn't notice someone at the gate. If the person hadn't spoken up first, she would have bumped into them. (End of Chapter)
