Xu Yumei bought groceries and brought Luo Yunkai, who was full, home. As soon as they entered, they saw Luo Hao, Xia Yichu, and Luo Yuechuan sitting on the sofa watching TV. Xia Guofang had not yet returned.

Having lived in the Luo family for so many years, she could tell that Luo Hao was clearly in a bad mood. When she wasn't around, she wondered if Xia Yichu had been badmouthing her to Luo Hao again.

"Miss Xia, what would you like to eat? I'll go buy it right away."

Xu Yumei thought about what Luo Hao had told Xia Yichu to tell her what she wanted to eat. Could it be that Luo Hao was angry because of this?

"I'm fine with anything, I'll eat whatever you cook."

"Sister Mei, could you go and clean my parents' room?"

Xu Yumei was panicking inside but tried to remain calm. Why was Luo Hao asking her to clean the room for no reason? Luo Hao was already unhappy today because he found out she had lied and asked for an extra 10,000 yuan. She couldn't let him find out that her son was at the Luo family's house.

"Sir, now?"

Luo Hao just told Liu Yaohui to leave, explaining that he drank too much yesterday and didn't know why he ended up sleeping here.

"right"

Luo Hao wanted to see if Xu Yumei would reveal that his son was staying at his house.

"Sir, it's getting late, I need to start cooking. Would it be alright if I cleaned the room tomorrow?"

"Sister Mei, is that really true?"

Luo Hao kept giving her chances to speak, but too much had happened today, and Xu Yumei still clung to hope and dared not speak out.

"Yes, because Miss Xia is eating at home, I bought a few extra groceries, so it took a little longer..."

"Xu Yumei, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Luo Hao slammed his hand on the table, angrily interrupting her. He had originally intended to hold his temper in today's visit, with Xia Yichu as a guest. But Xu Yumei had gone too far, treating him like a fool.

"Sir, I..."

"Xu Yumei, why is your son Liu Yaohui sleeping in my parents' room?"

Oh no, her son has really been found out. The two of them never discussed what to say if they were found out. Xu Yumei's mind raced.

"Sir, Yaohui got drunk last night and came to my house this morning. I wanted him to leave, but he was so drunk I was worried about him."

Later, I wanted him to sleep in my room, but while I turned around to get something, he ran into Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia's room to sleep.

I couldn't wake him up by calling him, and I couldn't drag him away. I had no choice but to let him sleep there. I was afraid you would be angry, so I didn't dare to say anything.

It's all my fault. I didn't take good care of my son, and I shouldn't have lied to you. Sir, you can punish me however you want, even deduct my salary, but please don't fire me.

My daughter is still in school, and my in-laws are getting old and can't earn money. Yaohui hasn't found a job yet. If I also lose my job, I don't know how our family will survive.

Xu Yumei spoke while crying, a suppressed, quiet sob. No wonder she was the one who could drive Xia Guofang away in her past life; although Xia Guofang brought it upon himself, Xu Yumei deserved much credit.

Xia Yichu looked at the Luo family father and his two sons, and sure enough, she saw expressions of reluctance on their faces. Especially the chubby Luo Yuekai, who even glared at her.

"Dad, Grandma and Grandpa only come to stay once or twice a year, and besides, Aunt Mei didn't do it on purpose. I don't care, I don't want Aunt Mei to leave."

"Shut up! School starts soon. Have you finished your homework? Go to your room and do it now."

"No, no one can let Aunt Mei leave my house," Luo Yuekai said, walking over and hugging Xu Yumei's legs tightly.

Luo Yuekai

Luo Hao shouted angrily, and Luo Yuekai trembled. He was still very afraid of his father when he was angry.

"Come on, follow me upstairs."

Luo Yuechuan couldn't stand it anymore and pulled his younger brother away. He had just been beaten that morning, and now he dared to talk back to his father. Luo Yuekai broke free from his brother's hand and refused to leave.

"Xiao Kai, come upstairs with your brother and do your homework."

Seeing Luo Hao's increasingly grim expression, Xu Yumei tried to persuade him. There was still room for maneuver; if Luo Yuekai continued to cause trouble, she might really have to pack her things and leave.

"Sweetie, I'll make you char siu bao tomorrow."

Hearing what Xu Yumei said, Luo Yuekai reluctantly went upstairs, and Xu Yumei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him go upstairs.

"Sir, it's all my fault. I have no choice but to fire me. But could you please let me make one last char siu bao for Xiao Kai before I leave? My wife hasn't come back yet, and I need to tell her."

Xu Yumei's strategy of feigning retreat was masterful, and Xia Yichu applauded her inwardly.

"Sister Mei, go cook first, we can talk about other things later."

Luo Hao rubbed his temples and said that business matters were enough to worry him. He didn't want to get involved in these family matters, but Xia Guofang wasn't much help with the business, and she was also making a mess of things at home.

Especially the youngest son, he's been spoiled rotten. Xu Yumei doesn't seem very honest; perhaps he should listen to his mother-in-law and fire her. But not now, he needs to find a good nanny first.

"it is good"

Luo Hao didn't seem angry, and Xu Yumei realized that only she could appease Luo Yuekai, so she finally felt relieved.

"I'm sorry you had to see me make a fool of myself on my first day here."

Luo Hao is a loyal and righteous person, but he also holds grudges. He remembers the help the Xia family gave him and the things his family did for him.

Over the years, he only went home during the Chinese New Year. He gave his parents 200 yuan each for living expenses each year, and he spent 500 to 600 yuan each time he went to the Xia family to buy things.

Luo Hao has two brothers; he's the second oldest and the least favored. Since he started working, he's given all his money to his parents for safekeeping. But when it came time for him to get married, his parents refused to give him a single penny. When Luo Hao asked his parents for money, they simply said they had no money.

Let him figure it out himself; if not, he can wait a few years to get married. At that time, his younger brother's child was already two years old, and he was already twenty-two. How could he possibly wait any longer?

His mother-in-law didn't mind that he had no house or money. When they got married, she not only didn't ask for a dowry, but also gave him and Xia Guofang a house.

Later, when he was doing business, he invested capital in her. In his previous life, Xia Guofang was caught cheating on him in bed. Although he kicked her out, Luo Hao didn't take the family savings and gave them all to her.

After the divorce, Luo Hao discovered that Xia Guofang had mortgaged the house to a bank. He had no idea what she did with the loan money, and Xia Guofang refused to tell him.

In the end, Luo Hao couldn't afford to pay the interest, and the bank foreclosed on his house. Left with no other choice, he took his two children and moved far away.

"No, Uncle, that Liu Yaohui is not a good person. I heard from his cousin that he was expelled from junior high school for his dishonest behavior. He also spied on his female neighbor while she was taking a shower and was almost beaten to death by her husband. He only got away with it after paying two thousand yuan in compensation."

Last year, he got a widow pregnant, which cost him a lot of money. In short, Uncle Xu Yumei might be a good person. But her son is another story. You need to be careful of Liu Yaohui; don't let him get your family into legal trouble.

These are things Xia Yichu heard from the villagers when she married Liu Yaohui in her previous life and went home with him.

"Okay, thank you for reminding me."

Luo Hao took this matter to heart and planned to investigate Liu Yaohui's situation while searching for a nanny. If he was really as Xia Yichu said, Xu Yumei must be dismissed immediately, regardless of whether a nanny was found or not.

Xia Guofang didn't come home for dinner. She went out to eat with Yang Yunxia and even went home with her.
