After breakfast the next day, Auntie Li brought the new nanny, Sister Liu, into the building in the inner courtyard of Nanshan Villa. The two of them went up to the second floor and arrived outside Xiao Mei's bedroom. Auntie Li went up and knocked on the door. Xiao Mei was feeding Xiao Jiye when she heard the knock on the door. She knew that Auntie Li had arrived and quickly said,"Please come in." Auntie Li pushed open the door and walked in with Sis Liu. Xiao Mei was shocked when she saw it. She knew that a new nanny must have arrived. It was time for her to part with Xiao Jiye and his son because Zhang Jingye had informed her yesterday. Her heart suddenly felt as if it was being stabbed by a knife and needles. She could not help but hug Xiao Jiye tightly in her arms and press him against her chest, afraid that they would take her son away.
Mrs. Lewis saw this and understood Xiao Mei's reluctance and grief. However, she had to carry out what Mr. Stanley had already decided. Hence, she pointed at the new nanny and introduced her to Xiao Mei."Miss Zheng, this is Sister Liu, the new nanny. She will take over your work and take care of your career. According to Mr. Stanley's instructions, please organize Little Jiye's things and hand them over to Sister Liu. Then, tell Sister Liu about Little Jiye's living habits and what you should pay attention to in all aspects so that she can adapt to work as soon as possible and take over your care of Little Jiye. After that, pack your things. Tomorrow, you can go home and reunite with your family.”
Xiao Mei knew that this was Zhang Jingye's order to leave. She had to leave, so she said,"My things are all in the storage room. You can bring them to me tomorrow. These are all Mr. Stanley's things. I'll leave them for Ms. Larsson. I don't want any of them.”"Mr. Stanley said that to thank you for your great contribution to the Zhang family, he has given you everything he bought as a gift. You can take them all." He would buy the clothes that Sister Liu needed separately.”Xiao Mei saw Zhang Jingye's instructions and knew that this was the last gift Zhang Jingye gave her. It was impossible for him to accept her request to continue to raise Xiao Jiye. Auntie Li was a resolute executor of Zhang Jingye's orders. There was no point in begging her. She would only win a few words of comfort. It was useless. She could only nod with tears in her eyes.
Xiao Mei looked at Sister Liu. She was in her forties and had a medium build. She was neither fat nor thin. She had a round face and delicate features. Although he was dressed in rural clothes, it was tailored to fit him well. She thought to herself that Auntie Li and Zhang Jingye had good taste. She was a beautiful and capable village sister. She was old and still had her charm. She thought that as long as she entered the villa, Zhang Jingye would have plenty of money, but what Sister Liu lacked was money. As time went by, she would change with makeup and clothes. She would inevitably become Zhang Jingye's plaything again. It was a pity that Sister Liu had benefited this old man. She nodded at Sister Liu and asked,"Is this sister also from the countryside?" How long have you been here?" Sister Liu said," I'm from the northern part of Anhui. I've been here for more than a month. Because I'm not well-educated, I can't find a job. The little money I brought from home is almost spent. It's all thanks to Boss Zhang that he's willing to hire me and give me a high salary. I heard that Miss Zheng also came from the countryside?”
Heard? From whom? Naturally, it was Auntie Li who told her. She didn't know what she told Sis Liu. Xiao Mei was shocked and blushed. However, he thought that since he was leaving tomorrow, he didn't care what she said. So he said to Sister Liu," Yes, just like you. I'm from a rural area in northern Jiangsu. I've been here for more than a year. Because her child was sick and her family was in trouble, she came out to work. Who would be willing to work here for a rich family?”
Sister Liu sighed." You're absolutely right. People come out to work because of family difficulties. Who wants to make a fortune and become a boss? My husband is dead, and my parents-in-law are old. I can only farm at home to support my children's education. This year, my son was admitted to university and needed to spend more money. I had no choice but to work to earn tuition and living expenses for my son.”Xiao Mei said," Your difficulties are temporary. There's hope. It'll be fine when our son graduates from university."”"Yes, I think so too," said Sister Liu. "Now, I'm working to earn money and raise my son to go to school. When my son graduates from university, has a job, and marries a wife, I'll quit and take care of my son's children. Miss Zheng, how old is your child?”
Xiao Mei couldn't help but feel sad when she heard the question. She thought to herself, What other children do I have? One died of leukemia, and this one was about to be given to someone else. I'm here to sell myself and give birth to someone else's child. With this departure, it would be difficult for them to meet again. But it was inconvenient to say, so he could only say,"He's still young."”"You're in elementary school?"”"Hey." Xiao Mei answered casually.
Sister Liu stretched out her hand and said to Xiao Mei,"Miss Zheng, you're leaving tomorrow. You have to pack your things in a hurry. Let Sister Liu carry the child."”Xiao Mei was reluctant, but she wanted to hand it over to Sister Liu to raise, so she said,"Alright, you can hug me. You two can get to know each other better.”Then, she handed Little Jiye over to Sister Liu. However, as soon as he reached Sister Liu's arms, Little Jiye started crying. He stretched out his hands and kicked his legs, crying non-stop. Xiao Mei's heart ached. She took the child over and said,"Sister Liu, just rest. It won't be too late for me to pack my things after Jiye falls asleep.”Aunt Li and Sister Liu saw Xiao Jiye in such a situation and heard Xiao Mei say so. They were afraid that she would be sad and could not bear it, so they had to give up.
After a while, Xiao Jiye fell asleep after drinking milk. Xiao Mei placed him in the pram, covered him with a small quilt, and covered him with the pram's gauze cover, allowing him to sleep by himself.
Sister Liu looked at the pram and slowly removed the veil. She then looked at the sleeping Xiao Jiye and asked Xiao Mei,"Is the child sleeping here at night?”Xiao Mei said,"It's the same, but it's cold at night, so you need to cover yourself with an extra blanket."”"What about the feeding?" Sister Liu asked again.”Xiao Mei said," When he wakes up, feed him once. He wakes up about once or twice a night, so feed him once or twice." The rest of the time, he slept on his own, and you slept on your own. They didn't interfere with each other.”Sister Liu found it incomprehensible and said,"Can such a small child not sleep with an adult?”Xiao Mei said,"City people raise children and pay attention to science and hygiene. The baby carriage was soft and warm, and there was no one to disturb it. The child slept very comfortably alone.”"The child doesn't sleep with you. How do you know he's awake?" Ms. Liu asked again.”Xiao Mei said," You should sleep in a hurry. He needs milk when he wakes up. You'll know when he cries."”
Xiao Mei began to tidy up Xiao Jiye's things. As she tidied up, she instructed Sister Liu on how to use each item, how to wash it, how to dry it, and how to keep it. Sister Liu was dazzled by what she saw and seemed to understand. She said,"Although I've given birth and nursed children before, I've never used these foreign things before. I've never even seen some of them before. I really have to learn them well.”Hence, as Xiao Mei introduced her, she listened carefully and kept asking questions. Xiao Mei said," It's not difficult. Although it's a foreign thing, it's not complicated. You can understand it at a glance. You'll naturally learn it after using it every day." These foreign toys were still the best. With them, the children were comfortable and sanitary. They cried less, and the adults also saved a lot of trouble. She thought of the things used by the children in the countryside. They were not sanitary and the children suffered.”
After Xiao Mei finished tidying up Xiao Jiye's things and handed them to Sister Liu, she began to tidy up her own things. These things were bought by Zhang Jingye back then. She originally wanted to leave them for Sister Liu to use. Since Zhang Jingye said that he would buy new clothes for Sister Liu, it would be a waste to give these things to her as a gift. She did not refuse and packed them one by one to bring them home to continue using. He thought that he could bring some foreign things home by coming to Guangzhou to work.
That night, Xiao Mei and Sister Liu slept together. Sister Liu was tired after all these days. Perhaps she thought that she had finally found a good job with a high salary and could earn tuition fees and living expenses for her son. She was relieved and fell asleep. Her feelings were the exact opposite of Sister Liu's. After more than a year of suffering, humiliation, and tolerance, she finally gave birth to Zhang Jingye's child, fulfilling Zhang Jingye's wish and completing her own mission. She did not expect that the day she completed her mission would be the day she would be separated from her mother. Zhang Jingye was actually so heartless, forcing her to abandon her child and chase her out of this place. She couldn't bear to leave the child, but she had no choice. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. As she cried, she recalled her life experiences over the past year. how she signed the agreement with Zhang Jingye and how she entered the villa. Zhang Jingye had set some rules for her, and she was not used to it at first, but she slowly got used to it. No matter how Zhang Jingye humiliated her, she had to hold back her tears to deal with him. When did Dasheng come to Nanshan Villa to work as a security guard? How did she find out? How did she contact him? How did she meet him with difficulty? Until she got pregnant and gave birth to a child. One by one, it replayed in her mind like a movie.
At this moment, she really wanted to meet Dasheng and tell him her hopes and requirements, as well as Zhang Jingye's attitude and approach. She wanted to hear his comments and opinions, and then discuss going home. However, Auntie Li was guarding the entrance of the inner courtyard, and Sister Liu was accompanying her, so she couldn't go anywhere. When she couldn't fall asleep, she would get up and pick up Little Jiye again and again. She looked at him again and again and kissed him again and again. He looked so much like Yu Lang, and also like Dasheng and her. Because he and Yu Lang combined many of the advantages of their parents, they were biological brothers, and their genes were naturally the same. Little Jiye was clearly her and Dasheng's son, but now he had become Zhang Jingye and Lee Victoria's son. She and Dasheng had become outsiders who had nothing to do with the child. Right and wrong were reversed, and the truth and falsehood could not be distinguished. The true answer to the phrase,"When the false is true, the true is also false, and there is nothing to be there."”There was no reason to complain, but no one to complain. She could not bear the pain and could only wash her face with tears. She wiped her tears over and over again, endlessly.
Time passed slowly in the darkness. After daybreak, she would have to leave her child forever. It would be difficult for her to see him again, get close to him, and she would no longer be able to fulfill her duties and responsibilities as a mother. She had no choice but to get up and feed Little Jiye again and again, wanting to fulfill her responsibility as a mother one last time.
In the middle of the night, Sister Liu woke up once and asked Jiye if he had been fed. Xiao Mei told her that he had already fed her twice. He also said that with her here tonight, there would be milk to eat. There was no need to feed her milk, and she did not have to worry about it. He wanted her to sleep peacefully. Just like that, Xiao Mei thought about it again and again. She was sad and sorrowful. She kept getting up and lying down until dawn.
