“Miss Luo, how may I help?” The caregiver in the ward asked. This patient was given the best care available, not to mention that she was the object of interest to such a powerful man like Chu Yichen.
The woman on the bed shook her head and closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again eventually, they were filled with emotions. However, because her face was hurting badly, there was pain and complexity reflected in her gaze.
At the kindergarten.
Auntie Li picked up the three children and took them to buy groceries. Although Li An’an had given her a significant sum of money, she spent very little. Most importantly, she could secretly pocket the unspent money.
“Granny Li, I feel like having some cake.” When they passed by a cake shop, Li Baobao rubbed her stomach. She was hungry.
Auntie Li shook her head. “No, you’ll get a toothache from eating too much cake. Look, you’ve got cavities. Having cavities would mean you won’t be beautiful anymore, so you can’t be eating cakes.”
Li Junjun spoke up for his sister. “We can buy a piece for my sister. Little Brother and I won’t have any. She hasn’t had any cake tor two days.”
Li Junjun didn’t like this granny. She was very miserly. Obviously, Mommy had given her money, but she fed them eggs and vegetables every night. They missed Mommy’s cooking so much.
“I said no and I meant no. What if you get cavities? I’ll buy you sugarcane. It’s delicious and cheap.” Auntie Li turned around and bought a bag of sugar cane. This was cheap, at only 10 yuan a bag. Besides, the three children could eat it for a long time.
Li Jùnjùn pouted. He wanted to eat apples. There were no more fruits at home, but he knew that Granny Li wouldn’t buy them.
“Come along now, let’s go buy some groceries. I’ll cook for you guys when we get home. After that, you kids can watch some TV before going to bed.”
Auntie Li brought them to the market and bought a few eggs and some vegetables. Then, she took them home and turned on the television so that the three of them could watch television programs as she busied herself in the kitchen.
“Daughter-in-law, have you received the money? Aiya, you don’t have to worry about money. I’m able to make a living and will send you more in the future. Sigh, alright, I’m hanging up. Remember to buy more meat to feed my grandsons.”
Li Junjun turned down the volume of the television and was furious when he overheard Granny Li’s words.
Li Baobao pouted. “Big Brother, why doesn’t Granny Li buy meat for us? Does she not like us? But Baobao likes meat.
Clearly, Granny Li had said that they should eat less meat, or they’d grow fat. But why would she buy meat for her grandson but not for them?
Li Junjun took out a piece of chocolate to coax Baobao. “That’s right, she doesn’t like us. When Mommy comes back, we’ll tell her, and get her to hire a different nanny.”
“Uh huh, Baobao doesn’t like her either.”
After Granny Li was done cooking, the three children refused to eat.
“You don’t want to eat? If you’re not eating, I’ll put the food away and you’ll go hungry.” Granny Li was displeased. Children nowadays were really pampered! She knew best how to deal with them. They would be obedient after starving for a few meals. She wasn’t worried about them complaining. She only needed to buy them some sweets to coax them and they’d forget everything. Besides, adults might not believe the words of the three children.
Li Junjun brought his sister and brother back to their room, shut the door, and climbed onto the small bed to sleep.
“Big Brother, can we use Daddy’s card?”
“Let’s go to the supermarket downstairs to try.” Li Junjun quietly sneaked his younger siblings out. Since Granny Li didn’t give them any food, he’d bring his younger siblings to buy some.
Auntie Li tidied up the kitchen and received a call from Li An’an. “The children, they’re fine. Oh, it’s late now. They’re asleep. Why don’t you call again tomorrow.”
Li An’an was upset when she heard this. Filming ended late today, and she only thought of calling them after that, but they were already asleep.
“Okay, I’ll call tomorrow. I left you a thousand yuan for groceries. If it’s not enough, I’ll transfer more to you.”
“Of course it’s enough. Don’t you worry, I’m taking good care of the three children. They’re also eating very well. I bought chicken drumsticks and prawns today. They enjoyed it.”
“I’m relieved to hear that.”
This was the first time Li An’an had been separated from her children for so long, so she was very anxious and worried that Auntie Li wouldn’t be able to take good enough care of them..
