She Only Cares About Cultivation

Chapter 1443: Chapter 1014: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 22 (Four Thousand)

"How old is your aunt? I’m a man in my early sixties, with a three-year-old and a one-year-old, as well as my son, Yangyang. If your mother is too old, I’m afraid she won’t be able to keep up, so I’d prefer someone a bit younger."

Another reason is that if the age gap between her and Mr. Qi is too small, there’s a risk of a twilight romance...

The young man is looking for Deng Bin, who is 24 this year, recently graduated from university, and has been following Li Xingchen ever since, making him an experienced employee. His character is, of course, impeccable. His father was a firefighting hero, and his mother raised him alone, helping him get into Beijing University, which was no easy feat.

"My mom just retired, not yet 56, just past 55. She’s in good health and cooks very well. How about letting her try it?"

Seeing Deng Bin being so proactive, Qi Qi found it hard to refuse and agreed to his request. They are from Wuhan, neighbors with Yunan.

Li Xingchen rented several apartments for these kids outside. They all live in bunk beds, three-bedroom, one-living-room apartments, accommodating twelve people each. The company rented four apartments for them in the same community—three for the boys and one for the girls.

Since Deng Bin’s mother is coming, it seems they’ll have to vacate the small room downstairs. After all, renting in a vast city like Beijing costs several thousand yuan a month.

Deng Bin trusted her so much that he didn’t ask about the price, but since he didn’t, she couldn’t avoid mentioning it.

"Let Aunt try for a month. If it’s feasible, I’ll pay her ten thousand yuan a month. If the workload increases later, I’ll adjust accordingly. If you think it’s okay, you can pack up and come over. Haven’t you been to my house? That small room is for Aunt to stay, with meals and lodging included."

Ten thousand yuan a month is indeed quite a lot, as most of this money can be saved.

Deng Bin happily took the phone outside to make a call. It was clear he was very pleased. After all, his own monthly salary was only 15,000 yuan, and that was with meals and lodging provided. The company rented apartments for them, provided lunch, and even offered supper for overtime. At other times, they managed to cook a bit in the dorm, which was enough.

Moreover, the company’s cleaning lady also took care of their dormitory’s hygiene, which was really convenient, so everyone enjoyed working there. Of course, Li Xingchen’s company’s high standards were well-known.

The kids working here all graduated from top-tier universities like 985 and 211. Even the receptionist girl is from Renmin University. Naturally, she doesn’t only work as a receptionist; she also works part-time as a cashier. At Star Company, the more work you do, the higher your benefits and bonuses.

The high salary offered to Deng Bin’s mother was also because there were many kids at home, and she might become busier in the future. The more she stayed at home, the more care she could provide, so she had to treat them well.

The studio was chosen to be within the same developer’s community as the company and dormitory. The rent was ten thousand yuan a month, rented for a year in advance because she planned to buy a commercial space within a year for her future studio and office.

Three-year-old Qi Peng was sent to the community kindergarten, costing 5,000 yuan a month for daycare. Little Qi Yue, just over a year old, stayed home with Mr. Qi to care for. When Deng Bin’s mother arrives, she can help take care of them, allowing the old man to pick up and drop off Qi Yang, saving on small meal fees. It seems quite suitable.

Her household registration still hasn’t been settled. After graduating and finding a place to settle, she can seamlessly register it, including both children’s registrations, under her name. In the future, she will be the kids’ mother.

It seemed obvious the two children had little emotional bond with their mother. They hadn’t called her "Mom" once since arriving. Who knows how that mother took care of her kids before? Her unreliable brother is even more infuriating—it’s been a week since coming to Beijing, and he hasn’t even made a call. Ha!

In the future, who knows if she’ll need anything from those unreliable parents to move her household registration. If she does, she fears she can’t even reach them.

Kids can immediately sense when someone treats them well, especially Qi Yang, who always wanted siblings because many of his classmates have them. Now he has both a little brother and sister, turning into a little adult. When she came home late, this child helped Grandpa take care of his younger siblings. He’s so considerate, it’s moved the old man to tears several times.

How did they treat such a good mother and son in the past? If they had realized in time, perhaps his wife wouldn’t have died.
