The same 4 a.m. at the Gu Family. Dishevelled, Gu Qing rushed into the living room in her long underwear! "Can’t you just shut him up? He’s been crying since last night when I got back, and it’s the same tonight! Does anyone care about sleep anymore?" "How can you speak like that?!" Aunt Gu Qing’s tone was not pleasant either. She was here purely out of obligation because her brother injured his leg and had no choice but to help! At this moment, she was also on the verge of being driven mad by the child. If it wasn’t for the fact that suitable help hadn’t been found yet, she would have thrown in the towel already! Fresh chapters posted on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet "Do you think we don’t want him to shut up? The thing is he just won’t! Has to bawl his head off! What can I possibly do?" Gu Qing, who had not been sleeping well for two consecutive nights, was also suffering greatly. At this hour, with a severe lack of sleep, her words lacked the usual restraint! "If he won’t shut up, then take him away! Anywhere! If that’s not possible, just dump him!" "Xiaoqing! That’s your brother!" Gu’s father with his prominent dark circles, spoke in a stern voice! He too hadn’t been able to catch a wink of sleep. Even though his leg was injured, he could still hold the baby while sitting! Aunt Gu Qing, unable to bear the pain of putting down a sleeping child, got Gu’s father involved as well! She was responsible for walking around to soothe the baby, then she’d hand him over to Gu’s father to hold after the child fell asleep. "What brother! I don’t want a brother like that! Crying all day long, so annoying! Knowing this, you shouldn’t have had him in the first place!" Gu’s father’s complexion turned even uglier, but he didn’t speak again. Clearly, he had similar thoughts in his mind! If only he had known... Aunt Gu Qing was still walking around holding the baby! She had been enduring this for three days now! She couldn’t rest easy leaving her own son with her mother-in-law for too long. So she took the chance while her brother and niece were silent to interject: "Brother! When exactly is the nanny coming? I can’t hold on anymore! We all have our own families to look after, I can’t just live here and neglect my own home, right?! I have to leave today, no matter what!" Gu’s father’s face turned utterly grim! But he also understood that what his sister was saying made sense! No one could abandon their own lives and families to help him indefinitely! After weighing his options, he finally spoke: "Okay! If no one shows up by 8 a.m., I’ll have Xiao Gu’er pay top dollar to find someone! I promise I’ll let you go tonight!" Gu’s father’s intention was to emphasize how hard it was to find people! However, Aunt Gu Qing took these words differently in her hearing. If you can’t find someone, you’re willing to pay a high price, right?! Then how come her own sister had been helping for three days without seeing a penny?! Turned out, she was even less valuable than a nanny—she was being taken for granted as free labor! Aunt Gu Qing inwardly complained and lost even more patience in soothing the child. The more impatient she became, the worse she was at comforting! In the end, she simply placed the child on the bed! Cry if he wants to! However, this action of hers completely infuriated Gu Qing! "So none of you are soothing him, huh?! No one’s going to look after him, huh?! Then I’ll just throw him away! Let’s see how he’ll keep me from sleeping!!" Seeing her daughter actually heading towards the bed where her son lay, Gu’s father quickly called out her name loudly! But this shout from him caused Gu Qing to completely misunderstand! "He’s only a month old! You would rather exhaust me to death than take care of him, right? I hate you!" As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, she ’scurried’ back to her room in a few steps and ’slammed’ the door shut! Gu’s father and his sister looked at each other helplessly, then both hung their heads in a weary manner. Who still had the energy to coax Gu Qing? Just one infant had already tormented two adults past their limits. Among the piercing cries of the baby, Gu’s father finally spoke up, "Don’t let him cry anymore, pick him up and soothe him! It’s just past four o’clock! Xiaoqing needs to sleep a bit longer!" Though Aunt Gu Qing was unwilling and felt weak all over, she had no choice but to nod. Either physically or emotionally drained! Compared to walking around holding him, listening to his crying was even more annoying! Better to continue soothing him... Around five o’clock, as usual, the infant settled back into bed to sleep. It was only then that Gu’s father and his sister got a moment of relief. There were no more sounds of banging and crashing coming from Gu Qing’s room; it seemed she had fallen asleep again. At eight o’clock sharp, the long-awaited nanny finally arrived at the Gu Family home! It was a sturdy-looking middle-aged woman, quite plump. As soon as she heard she only needed to take care of the child and didn’t have to bother with laundry or cooking, she was more than willing! She immediately agreed to stay and try out the job. As soon as she agreed to stay, Aunt Gu Qing hurried out as if her backside was on fire! The way she left, it seemed as though she couldn’t stand to be here for even one second longer! Watching his sister leaving with a look of joy, Gu’s father felt incredibly frustrated! When she usually came to his store to freeload food and drinks, she didn’t treat him ! Now that he injured his leg and needed her help, she showed such a face to him! They were siblings, for goodness’ sake! It was truly disheartening! If Aunt Gu Qing, who finally felt alive again upon leaving her brother’s house, knew he was thinking this of her, she would definitely feel extremely wronged! Helping out of kindness for three days only to be rewarded with words that chilled the heart! How unbearable! Meanwhile, Gu Qing, who had just woken up from a nap, also got up, as she still had to go to her dance class training later that morning! But the moment she got up, there was no breakfast, and Gu Qing’s face immediately darkened as she went to find her father. "Dad! Who’s making breakfast today?!" Gu’s father was still disappointed with his sister! In a bad mood, his tone was naturally unpleasant. "Just go and eat something at the store! Or take some money and go eat at someone else’s place!" These words were blatantly perfunctory. Gu Qing didn’t know what got into her, but she suddenly remembered Mrs. Zhen. "Where’s Mrs. Cheng?! I’ve been back for several days and haven’t seen her at all?" Hearing this, Gu’s father’s mood worsened. He snapped back at his daughter, "What do you need her for?!" "I’m just asking! She doesn’t take care of her child, where is she slacking off? Call her back here! Last Saturday morning, I nearly missed my appointment! I don’t have time to eat breakfast out every day!" Gu Qing thought for sure her father would agree to her request, but Gu’s father, who was set on going back to his room for more sleep, got annoyed by her nagging. He bluntly said, "Call her back? Just wake up earlier!" Gu Qing’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she suddenly yelled, "Dad!" Then she stormed out of the house without looking back!
