Chapter 373: Not a Foster Mother 14
Inside the shop, Yuan Chun was chatting with the system.
"007, in the previous life, the Host doesn’t seem to have been forced to meet a man, right?"
replied, "No, Host, in the previous life, the Host didn’t sell marinated or fried goods. The shop only sold some daily necessities and small snacks, with fewer goods stocked. Those who came to buy things were nearby people, and Li Qianpozi never came to the general store to buy anything."
"Li Qianpo heard that your marinated goods were delicious, so she came once to buy some for her son to eat to sober him up. Then she heard you were a widow with a small fortune, being capable and without a family of your own. Most importantly, you didn’t have any family on your mother’s side. So, Li Qianpo wanted to forcefully set you up with her nephew, and then compel you to marry him. Using the guise of filial piety, she would pressure you to serve the Li family as a nanny. As for your family assets, once you marry her nephew, all your assets would naturally become the Li family’s. Crucially, with no maternal family and no in-laws, nobody would stand up for you. Once you marry into the Li family, you would be at their mercy, turning and twisting as they please."
Li Qianpo wanted to manipulate her, mainly after finding out she had no one to protect her.
"Li Qianpozi never expected the Host to be so formidable. With just a glance, you sent Li Dazhi off to the police station," 007 chuckled.
Yuan Chun’s face darkened, "Seems like I’ve become quite the envy magnet already. Maybe I should keep a lower profile from now on."
After that, Yuan Chun lived a much more understated life. In front of others, she occasionally showed the hardships of business, barely making any money, turning those jealous of her into feeling sympathetic.
Yuan Chun thought in this life, she hadn’t adopted a freeloader, and she might never see her again. However, two years later, she received a call from the local police.
The police informed her that three days ago, Wang Dageng had his arms chopped off and could no longer care for Wang Xiaoyan. Wang Dageng’s parents and sister also expressed they didn’t want to care for Wang Xiaoyan, so the Wang Family wanted to push Wang Xiaoyan back to her.
Yuan Chun immediately refused.
"Officer, my sister’s compensation is twenty thousand. If the Wang Family doesn’t want to care for her, then please help buy Wang Xiaoyan a house and hire a nanny to look after her."
At that time, a house in a small county cost only thirty to forty thousand.
Spend forty thousand to buy a house, deposit the remaining tens of thousands in the bank for interest. The bank’s interest rate this year was over five percent, yielding a few thousand a year, enough to cover Wang Xiaoyan’s living expenses, and extra for a nanny’s fee.
The officer awkwardly said, "Comrade Liu Yuanchun, that money was all gambled away by Wang Dageng, and he owes a large gambling debt. He had his hands chopped off because he couldn’t repay it. We’re following up on this case, but even if we catch the perpetrator, Wang Dageng’s arms won’t heal. He himself can’t care for his own life henceforth. So... we wanted to ask you, Comrade Liu Yuanchun, would you be willing to take care of the child Wang Xiaoyan?"
Yuan Chun gritted her teeth in anger upon hearing this.
Twenty thousand, that was her sister’s life money, all gambled away by this damned man Wang Dageng.
Furious didn’t cut it.
But regardless of anger, Yuan Chun remembered she was there to complete tasks.
The Host said she didn’t want to care for Wang Xiaoyan again, thus she absolutely wouldn’t let Wang Xiaoyan step through her doorway.
Thus, Yuan Chun refused.
