The world of film and television begins from childhood

"We'll talk about it next time. When is the next time? Today, this matter must be settled for me. No one can leave before it is settled."

Qiao Erqiang said, "Dad, my eldest brother and his wife have to go back to take care of the children. Adult matters can wait, but children's matters cannot."

"boom!"

Qiao Zuwang slapped the table suddenly: "I can't wait for my affairs, we must discuss a result today, otherwise I will have a hard time, and neither will you."

Time and time again, his resentment had been pent up for a long time, and now he could no longer hold it in and burst out.

His appearance scared Qiao Erqiang, Qiao Sanli and Qiao Simei, but Qiao Yichen remained calm and didn't seem scared at all.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Chen was speechless. If you didn't know, you would think they were fighting over dividing the family property.

But it was not a solution to continue to argue like this, so he came up with an idea.

"I have an idea that may solve this problem."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Chen.

Qiao Zuwang was much more friendly to Zhou Chen. After hearing what Zhou Chen said, he asked, "Zhou Chen, do you have any good ideas?"

Qiao Yicheng also looked at Zhou Chen hopefully: "Zhou Chen, if you have any good suggestions, please tell me."

Zhou Chen said slowly: "Since we can't reach an agreement, let's choose a compromise method. Since it's about old-age care, we can find a nanny for Dad to take care of him. This way, he doesn't have to buy groceries, cook, clean, and tidy up the house by himself. What do you think?"

"Looking for a babysitter?"

Everyone's eyes suddenly became filled with astonishment, because none of them had this concept and a nanny was really far away from them.

Zhou Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I am looking for a nanny."

Qiao Zuwang's eyes lit up. Ever since his wife passed away, he had not been served by anyone in most of his life. Now that he was old, it would be nice to have a nanny to serve him. He could also brag about it to his friends and poker players when he went out.

However, he asked the question that concerned him the most: "If we hire a nanny, the cost will definitely be very high, right?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's not as much as you think. I just take care of you, do the laundry, cook, and clean the house. It doesn't cost much. I think it's about the same as the workers in the factory, or even a little less. It's not a big problem."

Indeed, if you take care of a disabled person, the cost will definitely be very high, but as for Qiao Zuwang being able to walk and move, it is two completely different concepts.

"If the cost is not high, then I can consider it."

When Qiao Zuwang said this, it showed that he was moved, but he just didn't want to say it out loud.

Qiao Yicheng was a little worried: "It's not easy to find a suitable nanny, right?"

Zhou Chen said: "We don't need to look for it ourselves. We can find an agent and ask them to help introduce it. If it is not suitable for us, we can just return it. It's not that complicated. The most important thing is the price. But don't worry about that. Sanli and I can take care of it."

"No, even if we really do find a babysitter, we can't let you be responsible. We should all pay for it."

Qiao Yicheng felt that finding a nanny was a good choice. With someone taking care of Qiao Zuwang, Qiao Zuwang wouldn't always bother them.

Zhou Chen said firmly, "One percent, just do as I say. We will find a nanny and pay for it. If there are any problems, I can solve them. In addition to the nanny's fees, there is also the usual food money. Let the nanny keep the account and settle it at the end of the month. Apart from these, just give Dad some pocket money. As for how much to give, you decide."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Zuwang said with a smile: "Zhou Chen, how about you just give me the money and I will find a nanny myself? As for the nanny, I will definitely choose the right one myself."

Without waiting for Zhou Chen to speak, Qiao Yicheng said directly: "No, let's leave this matter to Zhou Chen and Sanli. Dad, you don't have to worry about it. You don't have to worry about the food money at home. Apart from these, I'll give you 100 yuan pocket money a month. Is that enough?"

"One hundred dollars? You're giving alms to a beggar?"

Although hiring a nanny is a good thing, Qiao Zuwang immediately became anxious when he heard that he could only get a hundred yuan a month.

But Qiao Yicheng ignored him and continued, "As for the water and electricity bills at home, Simei, since you live at home, you will be responsible for this part. For the 100 pocket money, Erqiang and I will each pay 50."

Hearing that he didn't have to pay for anything but the water and electricity bills, Qiao Simei immediately agreed: "No problem for me, big brother."

Qiao Erqiang hesitated and said, "Brother, isn't fifty too little? How about I share some of the babysitter's expenses?"

Qiao Sanli stopped him and said, "Second brother, just listen to us. You don't have a house yet, so you need to save money to buy one. We will pay for the nanny and food."

Qiao Yicheng said: "Listen to Sanli."

What he wanted was to settle the matter first. As for the nanny fee, he would discuss it slowly after leaving home. He would definitely not let Zhou Chen and Sanli's family pay for it.

"That's settled then. Okay, we're done with dinner, let's all go back."

As he spoke, Qiao Yicheng helped Wen Ju'an stand up. Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli also stood up and prepared to leave.

"What? What are you doing? What do you mean it's settled? Have I agreed?"

When he saw everyone was about to leave, Qiao Zuwang shouted angrily.

Qiao Yicheng's face was icy: "Dad, we are going to find a nanny to take care of you in your old age. You don't need to pay for water and electricity at home. You are responsible for eating, drinking and having fun now. One hundred yuan is enough for you to spend. Also, I didn't even bother to say anything to you about Sanli's betrothal money before. Do you have to make such a fuss?"

Qiao Zuwang's face turned very ugly, especially when he heard Qiao Yicheng talking about Sanli's betrothal money, he immediately looked at Zhou Chen awkwardly.

Before, the Zhou family gave Qiao Sanli a dowry. He cried and yelled, and made unreasonable demands, using threats and inducements to force Qiao Sanli to give him the money. If she didn't, he would not allow them to get married.

The situation lasted for a long time, and finally Qiao Sanli had no choice but to give a part of it to Qiao Zuwang, and that was the end of it.

Adding the money from the previous engagement, Qiao Zuwang actually had no shortage of money at all, as he had plenty of savings.

Qiao Yicheng also knew this, which was why he was unwilling to give Qiao Zuwang so much money before. It was not that he was really unfilial.

Qiao Zuwang, who was choked, did not continue to make a fuss, and his brothers and sisters all went back home.

After walking outside, Qiao Yicheng grabbed Zhou Chen and said, "Tell me how much the nanny will cost, and we will split it equally between our two families."

"You are really..."

"Let's put it this way, Zhou Chen. This is what I, as the eldest son, should do."

Zhou Chen knew that if he didn't agree, with Qiao Yicheng's personality, he didn't know how long he would pester him, so he could only say, "I know, but I'll talk about it after I find a babysitter first."

Qiao Yicheng then smiled: "Thank you for your help. You really have been worrying about our family's affairs."

He was truly grateful to Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen helped him get married, Erqiang got a job with Zhou Chen's help, and Sanli was able to live such a good life because of Zhou Chen, so he felt that they owed Zhou Chen too much.

"What's the point of saying that? We are a family now."

"Yes, a family."

Sitting in the car, Qiao Sanli said to Zhou Chen: "Thank you for what I just did. My dad is in such a state, and you still help me with advice."

Zhou Chen smiled and stroked her hair, saying softly, "Husband and wife are one, why are you saying these things? Your father is a troublemaker. If we don't convince him today, we don't know how he will trouble us in the future. Spending some money to find a nanny will save us a lot of trouble."

Qiao Sanli agreed: "You are right, my father is a very troublesome person, and my sister-in-law seems very unhappy today."

"It's normal for her to be unhappy, but your father is not without reason. After all, he is the first direct descendant. How can he not have an opinion if the surname is not Qiao?"

Qiao Zuwang is no longer a worthless person, but he does have the right to be angry about this matter.

Even if it was Zhou Chen, he would definitely be very angry if his first granddaughter was forced to take the girl's surname.

If the second child took the woman's surname, he wouldn't mind too much, but could it be the same for the eldest grandson?

When it comes to this kind of thing, don't tell me whether he is open-minded or not. He doesn't care whether others value the country's thousands of years of tradition and the family's inheritance, he values ​​them anyway.

Chapter 522: Ma Suqin, the Qiao family is in chaos again

In the following period of time, Zhou Chen found an agency and asked them to help find a nanny, but this matter was mainly handled by Qiao Sanli, and he mainly gave suggestions.

That day, Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli were both resting at home. They sat on the sofa, close together, holding a book.

Zhou Chen explained to Qiao Sanli: "What this means is that..."

When Zhou Chen has nothing to do at home, he will teach Qiao Sanli management experience and take her to read books on the subject.

So even though Qiao Sanli has only been working for a short time, she has learned a lot about management.

Besides imparting knowledge, there are naturally some happy things that cannot be told to outsiders.

"Husband, how do you know so much? Aren't you a medical student? Why do you know so much about management?"

Although she has known Zhou Chen for more than ten years and they are now husband and wife, Qiao Sanli still can't help but be amazed every time she discovers how knowledgeable and talented Zhou Chen is.

She felt that there was nothing her husband didn't know and he could talk about many things in all walks of life.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "The more you see and the more you come into contact with, the more you will naturally understand. Your husband is very powerful. You will slowly discover it in the future. Just like now, I can immediately let you see how powerful I am."

"Hey, husband, what are you doing? It's still daytime, don't do anything rash, ah..."

Amid Qiao Sanli's screams, Zhou Chen, like a great general, attacked the city with unstoppable force, causing Qiao Sanli to retreat step by step...

The two agreed to eat out for dinner, so at around four or five in the afternoon, they left home and planned to go for a walk in the park before having dinner.

"It's been less than a month, and he's already changed two nannies. My dad is really annoying. He's too much of a stunner."

Qiao Sanli held Zhou Chen's arm as they walked along the park path, talking about her father, Qiao Zuwang.

Since that family meeting, Qiao Sanli has helped Qiao Zuwang find a nanny, but Qiao Zuwang was really difficult to take care of. He changed two nanny within a month, which made Qiao Sanli really burnt out.

Zhou Chen said: "Your father is venting his dissatisfaction. Just tell him that if he continues to make trouble, you don't care about it. Let Qiao Yicheng help him find it. He promises that he will be much safer."

It’s not that Qiao Zuwang was afraid of Qiao Yicheng, but he knew that his eldest son Qiao Yicheng would not spoil him and was not as easy to talk to as his daughter.

Sometimes, the kinder and more filial children are, the more likely they are to be bullied by incompetent parents.

"If he keeps doing this, I'll try what you said."

Qiao Sanli didn't want this to happen either, but she knew that if she let her father continue like this, it would only become more and more troublesome, and she didn't want to keep finding a nanny for her father.

The two of them strolled along the path in the park, looking at the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, and their mood improved a lot. Passing by a small pavilion, Qiao Sanli suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

Zhou Chen noticed that Qiao Sanli stopped and looked straight at the small pavilion. He looked over there in confusion and then was stunned.

"That's, your second brother?"

"right?"

Qiao Sanli was a little uncertain because she saw another woman with Qiao Erqiang, but the key point was that this woman was not her second sister-in-law Sun Xiaomo.

"Let's go over and take a look."

Zhou Chen held her back and advised, "Forget it, what did you say in the past."

Although he had never seen this woman, seeing Qiao Erqiang shaking his head and looking flattering, it was not difficult to guess that this woman should be the "master" he was thinking about all the time.

Qiao Sanli looked hesitant, and after a brief surprise, she actually guessed who the woman with her second brother was.

This incident had caused a lot of trouble to their family a few years ago. They thought that after so many years, the second brother had gotten married and the matter would be forgotten.

Who would have thought that today, she would see her second brother with that woman again. She really couldn't accept this fact.

I wanted to stop it, but I was worried that my presence would embarrass my second brother.

Zhou Chen could guess what Qiao Sanli was thinking. In fact, this was very normal. As siblings, anyone would feel awkward seeing their brother having a love affair with a woman who was more than ten years older than them, not to mention that this woman was married and had children.

Love may be romantic, but when two people are together, it is not just about love, it is more about living together.

Sometimes, for the sake of love, men may not care about these things for a while, but women think differently.

Being with a woman who is more than ten years older than you, not only because of the age gap, but also because of having to raise her children, how many men can accept such a thing?

It is Qiao Erqiang, a real man, who has persisted after so many years.

So even though Zhou Chen was not optimistic about them, he still admired Qiao Erqiang's persistence. He was an absolute infatuated man.

Just when Qiao Sanli was still hesitating whether to go over, Qiao Erqiang inadvertently glanced and happened to see Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli standing not far away, and was also stunned on the spot.

Ma Suqin looked at Qiao Erqiang with a smile, her face full of pity.

She actually liked the man who loved her, but she had too many concerns. She didn't want to drag down Qiao Erqiang, so she hid for a few years.

But when they saw each other again, Qiao Erqiang still loved her as much as before, which made her unable to resist and reluctant to refuse.

Today she really couldn't beat Qiao Erqiang, so she went on a date with him and came to this park.

Ma Suqin also knew that she liked Qiao Erqiang. She once scolded herself for being shameless and said she shouldn't have such thoughts. But when she saw how much Qiao Erqiang was willing to sacrifice for her, she couldn't stop liking him.

From being liked as an apprentice-like child in the beginning, to being in love between a man and a woman now.

She liked looking at Qiao Erqiang, liked listening to him talk, and liked the way he stuck to her. Even though she knew that Qiao Erqiang was married, she still couldn't control herself.

She was holding her chin, watching Qiao Erqiang telling her about interesting things that happened at work, when Qiao Erqiang suddenly stopped. She asked in surprise, "Erqiang, what's wrong?"

Qiao Erqiang answered woodenly, "My sister." Then he pointed in the direction of Zhou Chen and Qiao Sanli.

Ma Suqin's heart skipped a beat and she quickly turned around. She saw a man and a woman not far away looking at them. She stood up immediately.

Seeing that Qiao Erqiang had already discovered it, Qiao Sanli no longer concealed it and said to Zhou Chen: "Let's go over and take a look."

Speaking of which, although their family knew about what happened between Qiao Erqiang and his master, except for Qiao Yicheng, no one else had ever seen Ma Suqin.
