Chapter 216 I am the master of this house (1/2)
Reading Settings
Lin Han was extremely bored during her postpartum confinement. Before, she could watch TV series online when she had nothing to do, but now Fangfang strictly required her to protect her eyes during her confinement and not to use electronic devices.
Fangfang spoke very seriously, and even mentioned that it was a top-tier expert from a tertiary hospital who said it, urging Lin Han to obey and not ruin her eyesight because of a moment of playing around.
Lin Han felt it was a bit far-fetched, but Fangfang was only trying to help her.
It's only a month, just bear with it and it will pass.
However, Fangfang thoughtfully prepared a pair of pinhole earphones and a small MP3 player for Lin Han, with novels and music pre-downloaded on them.
When Lin Han is alone, after her baby falls asleep, she lies in bed, puts on her headphones, and starts listening to audiobooks.
Aunt Li is a quick and efficient person who is also very observant.
Lin Han rarely needs to remind her; she can get the baby ready in advance.
Lin Han found it amazing that Aunt Li could tell the baby's different needs based on the different cries of the baby.
While Lin Han was still confused, Aunt Li had already taken appropriate measures according to the baby's different needs. One baby was crying because he was hungry, and the other because he had wet or soiled himself.
Lin Han really admired Aunt Li for this.
Gu Hong would always try to embarrass Aunt Li by taking advantage of her busy time.
Once, while Aunt Li was busy washing clothes for the new mother and baby, Gu Hong suddenly threw a pile of her dirty clothes into the basin.
Seeing this, Aunt Li quickly spoke up to stop her: "Aunt Gu, I'm only responsible for the clothes of the new mother and baby. Please wash these clothes yourself."
Her tone was somewhat harsh, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with Gu Hong's behavior.
However, Gu Hong responded nonchalantly, "Anyway, you invited them to help, so what difference does it make whose clothes you wash? If you can wash Lin Han's clothes, why can't you wash mine?"
Her words revealed an attitude of taking it for granted, as if she didn't think there was anything wrong with her behavior.
Aunt Li was speechless after hearing what she said. She knew that Gu Hong was Old Master Gu's sister, and Old Master Gu was a retired leader from the old cadres' family compound. Offending him would probably bring her trouble.
So, despite her extreme reluctance, Aunt Li silently washed Gu Hong's clothes as well.
Seeing how compliant Aunt Li was, Gu Hong became even more unscrupulous. She began to act as if she were the master of the house, ordering Aunt Li around at will, telling her to fetch this one minute and do that the next, completely disregarding Aunt Li's feelings.
"I want tea, make me some tea."
"The bedding I brought is almost spoiled. Go and take it out to air it. It would be best to fluff it up with a stick, as I need to sleep in it tonight."
"I think your braised pig's feet soup is pretty good, make me a bowl too."
Aunt Li was so angry she was speechless, but she had come to help and received wages from the employer. If she were to fuss over this, it would seem like she was being petty.
