Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Although Wang Dashan didn't understand what connection Kang Jiumei teasing the child into calling her Grandmother had with his mother Li Xiulan, seeing Du Xiaojuan's attitude so intense, he still couldn't help but ask Kang Jiumei:

"Kang Yi, how come you have an opinion of my mom?"

Kang Jiumei lowered her head:

"No... no, I have no opinion of your mom..."

But her evasive eyes had already betrayed her.

Even if Wang Dashan's head was simple, he had already seen a trace of a clue.

"My mom didn't provoke you, right? Why do you have an opinion of her!"

Wang Dashan continued to question; he had been home the whole time and could be very certain his mother hadn't done anything to offend Kang Jiumei, and moreover, a lot of housework at home, Wang Dashan originally didn't want Li Xiulan to do, after all, they hired Kang Jiumei to come do these things, but Li Xiulan still took the initiative to share a lot of the housework.

Yet even like this, Kang Jiumei actually still had an opinion of Li Xiulan!

Du Xiaojuan coldly said at this time:

"Hurry up and say it out truthfully!"

Kang Jiumei saw she couldn't escape, only then did she say:

"This is unfair!"

Kang Jiumei cried and shouted loudly:

"Why is Heaven so unfair!"

"Unfair?"

Du Xiaojuan, Wang Dashan, Wang Xiaohua, all felt baffled.

At the same time, very speechless.

Kang Jiumei continued speaking:

"Why does Li Xiulan, a village woman who doesn't understand anything, doesn't know how to do anything, get to enjoy everything now, live in a big villa, have a good son and good daughter-in-law, and such a well-behaved grandson, while I work so hard, the baby food is made by me, the milk is prepared by me, early education is also done by me, yet I get nothing! Xiao Jin was raised single-handedly by me, I just love Xiao Jin too much, what wrong did I do!"

Once Kang Jiumei said these words, the air in the study went quiet.

Du Xiaojuan's face was full of astonishment.

Wang Dashan was dumbfounded.

Wang Xiaohua also slightly furrowed his brows.

After a good while, Du Xiaojuan only then reacted.

Then got so angry she laughed:

"Kang Jiumei, you're truly laughable, you're just a servant I paid money to hire, you want to turn the guest into the host! If my husband's mom knew how to do everything, why would I need to hire you? I'm telling you, you should be grateful she doesn't know how to raise children, otherwise you wouldn't even have this job opportunity! Truly hilarious! Been a nanny too long and actually started thinking of yourself as the master!"

Wang Dashan also no longer sympathized with Kang Jiumei:

"Go, go, our family can't accommodate this great Buddha, settle the wages and leave right now!"

Kang Jiumei, tears flowing:

"Before I leave, can you let me hug Xiao Jin one more time? I've taken care of him this long, I want to properly say goodbye to him."

Wang Dashan's heart softened a bit:

"Go ahead, just say goodbye, don't delay too long."

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"No! From now on, I won't let you get near Xiao Jin again! Hurry up and pack your things and scram!"

Wang Dashan saw Kang Jiumei crying her eyes out, so he said:

"How about letting her have a final goodbye with Xiao Jin, after all, Xiao Jin was raised by her hand up to now."

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"If when she gets near Xiao Jin, she does something to harm Xiao Jin, can you bear the responsibility?"

Wang Dashan didn't speak.

In the end, Kang Jiumei could only slink away to pack her things, then leave this beautiful big villa she had lived in for a long time.

Some people are just like this, stay in someone else's house long enough and they can't tell primary from secondary anymore.

This phenomenon is especially prominent in the nanny and confinement nanny industry.

Maybe it's because nannies and confinement nannies originally have low education levels and lower cognition.

Maybe it's human nature.

Anyway, anyone who has ever hired a nanny or confinement nanny at home will definitely deeply agree with this.

After Kang Jiumei left, Wang Dujin kept fussing and making noise wanting to find Grandmother to play.

The child is still young, doesn't understand anything, only knows whoever treats him well, he recognizes that person.

So Li Xiulan hugging him, coaxing him, were all to no avail; on the contrary, the more she coaxed, the harder he cried.

After all, in Wang Dujin's little head, he only knew Kang Jiumei was his Grandmother.

This kind of cognitive dislocation, later needs a certain amount of time to correct.

It can be said to be very troublesome.

Even harder than in the postpartum period when the child's head was slept flat, needing to sleep it back into a round head.

In the end, it was still Du Xiaojuan who held the child and sleep-trained him, only then did things quiet down.

In a blink, it was dinner time; tonight's dinner should have been happy and lively, because Wang Erhai and Wang Xiaohua only managed to gather together with difficulty.

But because of Kang Jiumei's matter, everyone ended up not very happy.

Li Xiulan couldn't help but feel some self-reproach:

"It's all my fault; I should have spent more time playing with Xiao Jin normally."

Wang Dashan, on the other hand, wore a worried frown:

"Mom, what use is you playing with him? You don't know early education, and you can't make baby food properly either."

Li Xiulan sighed, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

In the past, raising children didn't have so much red tape.

One can only say times have changed, and she has already been eliminated by the times.

Now raising children, making baby food has many regulations — how to make it, how to eat it — the varieties are extremely numerous, unlike before, where giving a mouthful of congee, giving an egg, was more or less enough.

Early education and such, in the past there was even less; just put the child outside to play with mud and sand, count ants and watch grass, and that was early education.

Now, however, there are all kinds of dazzling courses.

Li Xiulan doesn't understand, but she also respects it.

So these matters have always been handled by Kang Jiumei bringing Wang Dujin to do them.

She never went to interfere.

Unexpectedly, it let the precious grandson recognize Kang Jiumei as Grandmother.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll go learn!"

Li Xiulan said this one sentence at this time.

Her expression became determined.

As if she had made some resolution.

"Mom, you just don't go messing around; tomorrow Xiao Juan and I will go find another nanny!"

Wang Dashan felt that Li Xiulan was of such an advanced age, she definitely wouldn't be able to learn those things.

Du Xiaojuan also said:

"Mom, a nanny still needs to be hired, but after this incident, in the future if we use one nanny for too long, even if she's good, at most use her for a year, change yearly, if not then change every half year, change every month, anyway we must not let the nanny again produce the illusion of being the master of the house!"

Li Xiulan, however, said:

"You hire your nanny, I'll learn mine! Now Xiao Jin isn't being raised well, I know I have responsibility; later when Erhai's child is born, if I still can't raise it well, then this grandmother of mine would be too incompetent, so I must learn! What others can learn, I definitely can learn too!"

Li Xiulan spoke these words from the bottom of her heart.

She felt she had failed too badly as this grandmother!

Now Xiao Jin is already this distant to her; she doesn't want to wait until later when Wang Erhai's children, Wang Xiaohua's children, are also distant to this grandmother of hers!

"Mom, you just enjoy your blessings properly, why go messing around?"

Wang Dashan still felt that Li Xiulan shouldn't go messing around.

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said:

"If your mom wants to learn, let her go learn; live to old age, learn to old age, learning is always better than not learning, Xiao Hua, you say, right?"

Wang Xiaohua, who hadn't spoken all along, nodded:

"Eldest Sister-in-law is right."

Then said to Wang Dashan:

"Big Brother, if Mom wants to learn, let her go learn; anyway, learning won't have any bad effects."
