Chapter 311: Compensation Standards After Mis‑training the Husband

When in Jingcheng, Lin Dongfan had never wiped Choubao's bottom or changed Choubao's wet diapers; all matters big and small were handled by a dedicated nanny, so he never got a chance to help.

Today marks the first time he personally washed the poop-and-pee stained diapers.

Although his experience was lacking and he even felt a bit nauseated, the feeling of being a father came back to him instantly, and overall he still felt a sense of accomplishment.

In the afternoon, Shen Junlan brought back a young nanny from the home-service center.

This nanny is a woman named Wu Yue, only 23 years old, just graduated from university, with delicate features and an excellent figure, her voice as pleasant as an oriole's.

This made Lin Dongfan's heart flutter anxiously.

If it were his father-in-law who found such a nanny, it would still be understandable; from a man's perspective, having more pleasing young ladies at home is far better than having more sallow-faced old aunts.

But the mother-in-law is a woman herself—truly hard to fathom her mysterious maneuver.

Lin Dongfan even once suspected the mother-in-law was testing his self-control, though that seemed unlikely, as she had always been gentle and considerate, upright in her actions, never scheming.

I just don't get it, truly I don't get it.

Lin Dongfan called the mother-in-law aside and whispered, "Mom, why did you bring back a young girl? She's never given birth herself—how would she know how to care for a child?"

"You just don't understand; she's a professional." Shen Junlan glanced at Wu Yue, who was getting familiar with the home environment, and was very pleased with her.

Lin Dongfan said, "She's never had a child—I really can't see how she could be professional in any way."

"She graduated from Jianglan Daxue with a major in Modern Home Service and Management. Don't underestimate her—her appearance, demeanor, and interpersonal skills are all quite good."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dongfan really felt a bit dazed.

"Please forgive my ignorance, but I truly didn't know Jianglan Daxue had a Modern Home Service and Management major; nowadays, do universities even offer specialized programs to train people who can take care of babies?"

Lin Dongfan curiously asked, "How much are you paying her per month?"

"A bit higher than an ordinary nanny—12,000." Shen Junlan, thinking Lin Dongfan was worried about money, added, "You don't need to worry about this; I'll cover the nanny's salary."

"I'm not worried about the money."

"Then why are you asking all these questions? She relied on student loans to finish college, and finding a job isn't easy either. I'm telling you, don't go out of your way to make things difficult for her."

"Got it, you're just overflowing with sympathy."

While chatting and laughing, Lin Dongfan turned and went back inside, no longer dwelling on the matter.

Basically, we can now conclude:

The mother-in-law has no other thoughts; she simply wants to leave professional matters to professionals. No wonder, as a former university professor, her mind is always filled with scientific thinking.

The sweet, naive wife also has no other ideas; whether it's an aging, faded old aunt or a youthful, pretty young lady, as long as she can help care for the child, that's fine.

Now the Chu household has two nannies: one handles laundry and cooking, the other is dedicated to childcare.

Lin Dongfan plopped onto the sofa like a laid-back old guy.

He crossed his legs.

"Wu Yue, bring the child over so I can play with him."

"Sure thing."

"Wu Yue, my son peed on my face—quickly help me wipe it off."

"Right away."

"I mean help me wipe my face, not have you wipe my son—his little thing doesn't need wiping; the little guy's range is far, so his urine doesn't even get on his own body."

"Oh, please wait a moment, I'll get a fresh towel."

"Wu Yue, my son seems hungry—quickly bring the bottle."

"You must be mistaken—the baby just finished formula."

"A mistake? Then explain why he's pouting and wailing loudly."

"Maybe your cigarette smoke bothered him; give the child to me and go rest."

"Honey, come over!"

……

Chu Lingxi, who had been practicing leg stretches on the balcony, suddenly turned and hooked a finger at Lin Dongfan; at that moment she seemed possessed by the goddess of wisdom, her eyes flashing with killing intent.

Lin Dongfan shoved the baby into Wu Yue's hands.

He hurriedly ran to the balcony to report: "Honey, what do you want me to do?"

"Stand straight!"

Chu Lingxi gave a stern shout and, with a casual motion, shut the balcony's floor-to-ceiling glass door tightly—whether to prevent the husband‑training voice from leaking or because the baby's crying was too noisy.

It's probably the former.

Because the very next second she secretly pinched Lin Dongfan: "Do you really think I'm stupid? You're actually flirting with the little nanny right under my nose."

"I flirted with the little nanny? How would I even know?" Lin Dongfan stared blankly, putting on an innocent look.

Chu Lingxi lowered her voice and scolded: "You still say you didn't, but just now how many times did you call Wu Yue? I can tell you'd love to have her circling you 24/7."

"Wronged—caring for the baby is her job; my son peed all over my face, so of course I had to call her." Lin Dongfan emphasized righteously: "Besides, I actually just wanted to check her work attitude."

"Really?"

Chu Lingxi was half‑believing, half‑doubting.

Lin Dongfan earnestly nodded: "Even 24‑karat gold isn't this genuine—I truly just wanted to check her work attitude, after all she's really young, and I feared she lacked patience for childcare."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Chu Lingxi's attitude did a complete 180‑degree turn.

She lifted her slender right leg onto the railing, assuming a standard split leg stretch, smiling broadly: "Honey, did my pinch not hurt you? Tonight I'll make up for it with this pose."

"……!!!"

Lin Dongfan gazed at her split pose, feeling a bit uneasy: "It doesn't hurt, just like a mosquito bite; or… maybe we should change the compensation plan—standing is a bit tiring, I'd rather lie down."

"Approved, you can have whatever pose you want."

"Thank you, Madam Wife. If there are no further instructions, I'll go get back to work. Earlier I went to the cake shop to order a birthday cake for Mom. The shop doesn't deliver, so I have to pick it up myself."

Go ahead, remember not to forget to take the birthday candle.

Got it.

During the whole process of being questioned, Lin Dongfan almost held his breath the entire time.

At the moment he turned and walked out onto the balcony, Lin Dongfan's heart immediately pounded like a frantic little motor, thumping wildly, so much that even pressing a hand against it couldn't suppress it.

Phew!

Fortunately, the sweet and naive hasn't changed at all; she's still that lovable sweet and naive, and no matter when, she always maintains the fine tradition of correcting mistakes when she knows them, never resorting to rehashing old scores to win an argument.

Wu Yue suddenly walked over with an apologetic face: "Mr. Lin, did I cause you trouble?"

"It's fine, you just need to take good care of the child." Lin Dongfan said while walking: "Work hard; if you do well, I'll give you a raise of a thousand every month, aiming for you to earn ten thousand a month as soon as possible."

Thank you, boss.

Young Wu Yue, when she smiled, looked just like a blooming flower.

Having come out of the countryside, she had endured much hardship and knew earning money was not easy. For her, being able to find a high-paying job of twelve thousand a month right after graduation was already a great fortune, like ancestral graves emitting green smoke.

If she could get a raise of a thousand each month, that would be like her ancestral graves exploding; she'd have to grab this tremendous fortune even if it meant dying, and with the right boss, she could avoid fifty years of struggle!

After Lin Dongfan went out.

Wu Yue excitedly kissed Choubao's little cheek: "Little ancestor, you truly are my lucky star; I never expected your dad to not only be handsome, but also a big devil who raises salaries without blinking."
