1124 Getting Helpers
Xia He seemed to notice Qiao Mei’s puzzlement and explained patiently, “Recently, your younger siblings have to clear the weeds in the courtyard during their usual rest time. After I put up the plastic sheets around this corridor, a lot of new grass started growing for some reason, so we need someone to find someone to deal with this.”

Qiao Mei lowered her head silently. Perhaps she was the real reason for the grass growing. Some time ago, she had been repeatedly cultivating 10,000-year-old ginseng at home. It was likely that the surrounding land had been affected.

In the past, without the mock greenhouse setup, the courtyard was very cold and it was not conducive for plants to grow. Now that the environment had changed, the plants were all popping out one by one.

It was actually very easy to deal with these things. Qiao Mei could solve the problem by absorbing all energy from the plants and there was no need to expend so much effort at all. However, doing that would attract attention and make the whole situation seem even weirder. She decided to go with the flow and let them find a gardener to handle the issue. Anyway, the flowers in the backyard could bloom well even if they were only watered randomly.

“Alright then, I’ll follow the family’s arrangements,” Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei decided to let Xu Lan and the others do whatever they wanted. If she rejected their kindness, they might even come to her house tomorrow and ask her to move immediately to Xia Fang’s hospital and stay in the small VIP infirmary. They would need to incur expensive charges every day and she could only go home after she gave birth and when it was deemed safe for the babies to do so.

In that case, she might as well hire a few more people at home! At least she could continue to stay in a familiar environment and she would feel much more relaxed and be in a better mood. Most importantly, she could continue to secretly grow her ginseng!

Sister Fan was the one who found the helpers and gardener. Xu Lan knew nothing about such things. The previous helper at home was the one in charge of such matters. Now that she was no longer around, Xu Lan could only trouble Sister Fan.
Soon, Sister Fan picked out two capable nannies and a male gardener. Sister Fan knew Qiao Mei’s daily schedule and only brought the three of them to Qiao Mei’s house in the afternoon. Qiao Mei was already waiting in the study by the time they arrived.

“Auntie Fan, I miss you so much~” Qiao Mei said sweetly.

“I think you miss the food I make!” Sister Fan was so tickled that she laughed loudly. She looked at Qiao Mei as if she was looking at her own daughter. She had four sons and her greatest wish in life was to have a daughter. Seeing Qiao Mei made her want a daughter even more.

“I miss both. Auntie Fan, please take a seat,” Qiao Mei said.

After Sister Fan sat down, she did not make small talk and went straight to the topic at hand. She pointed at the three people and said, “This is Feng Hua and she’s 38 years old this year. She has 12 years of experience as a nanny and is very good at taking care of children. She has five children herself! There are both boys and girls. The other one is Wei Hao, she’s 30 years old this year and she has been working as a nanny for six years. She’s very diligent and cooks very well.”

“I’m definitely comfortable with people whom Auntie Fan recommends! Then this is…” Qiao Mei’s gaze landed on the gardener. This person looked much younger than the rest, like a university student. He did not look like a gardener at all.

“This is Shen Gui. Although he’s young, he knows a lot about flowers and plants. He’s recommended by my husband. My husband plants trees for a living so he knows many gardeners,” Sister Fan said.

Qiao Mei nodded. These three people fitted what she needed the most for the moment. She hoped that they could get along harmoniously.

“So what are your expectations on salary?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at the three of them.

Feng Hua had a lot of confidence in her capability due to her many years of experience. She said confidently, “I’ve been a nanny for many families. I heard from Sister Fan that food and accommodation will already be covered in this job, so I’d like a salary of 120 dollars a month.”

An amount of 120 dollars! Xia He almost lost her balance at the side. This person was really daring to expect so much pay for a nanny job which was inclusive of food and accommodation. Sister Fan only earned 60 dollars a month!

“Then can you tell me what I’m spending the 120 dollars on?” Qiao Mei leaned back in her chair and asked with some interest.

“I graduated from high school so there’s definitely no problem for me to teach the children in the early stage of their lives. You can safely leave the children in my care. I’m also very good at cooking for children. I also know how to prepare the confinement meals for you after you give birth. You don’t have to worry about a single thing,” Feng Hua said firmly.
