Chapter 502 The Sky is High and the Sea is Vast
Lin Chang'er had heard Wu Qingfeng mention this nanny before. She was part of his mother Madam Wu's dowry, and it was this nanny who took care of him as he grew up.
Therefore, the nanny is definitely qualified for this position.
Although she was the head of the household, the old nanny was still Madam Wu's person, so she couldn't interfere right now.
Without saying anything, they simply helped to set up a new set of bowls and chopsticks. The Gu family, Lin Beishan and his wife, and Headmaster Chen also cooperated by making room for them.
Lin Chang'er felt it wasn't right to let the old lady stand, so she moved her own chair for the old lady to sit on.
The old woman naturally dared not, waving her hands repeatedly, "No, no, this is not allowed." This is the head of the Gu family, the future young mistress.
Lin Chang'er gestured for her to sit down, "There's nothing wrong with that. I'm young, standing for a while won't hurt me."
"This..." The old woman looked at Madam Wu with difficulty.
Madam Wu first smiled and nodded kindly to Lin Chang'er, then said to the nanny, "Sit down, don't let the children's good intentions go to waste."
"Madam Xie, thank you, Master Lin!" The old woman turned her face away, secretly wiped her eyes with her sleeve, and then sat down.
Madam Wu noticed this out of the corner of her eye, but didn't show it on her face. She secretly reached out and patted the nanny, saying, "From now on, we'll all be family. We're not just Madam and Young Master anymore."
The contract of indenture had been returned to her back when she was in high school in Qingfeng. However, after so many years of getting along, she had developed feelings for him, and since he had no children, she continued to stay by his side and serve him.
Back in the Wu family, a corrupt and powerful clan with a set of rules, she couldn't really say anything about them.
But now, with the sky high and the sea wide, who can control them?
Wu Qingfeng moved very quickly, and soon brought over a chair. He was somewhat surprised to see that the old woman had already sat down.
Seeing that Lin Chang'er was still standing there, he immediately understood.
I personally arranged the chairs for her and even pulled some out so she could sit down easily.
When Lin Chang'er sat down sideways, the back of her hand brushed against his, and Wu Qingfeng's ears immediately turned red. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he squeezed her palm with his other hand.
Lin Chang'er gave him a quick glance and gently slapped his hand away. Only then did Wu Qingfeng return to his mother's side and sit down.
With children around, the atmosphere is never dull.
As soon as they started eating, the children began to chat amongst themselves.
Some children, like Gu Xiaoman and Zhou Yi, have ways to avoid picking up food.
At this time, older siblings and uncles of higher seniority would thoughtfully help out.
"Xiaoman, what would you like to eat? Let me get it for you."
"Chicken leg, I want a chicken leg, thank you, sister."
"Xiao Bao, eat some vegetables. Children shouldn't be picky eaters."
"I want those small beans, and shredded potatoes too."
"Little Deer, don't just keep putting food on Xiaoman's plate. Do you want some fish? Uncle will remove the fish bones for you."
The children's table was bustling and harmonious, while the adults' table was much more reserved in comparison.
It seems that an unspoken consensus has been reached that one should not speak while eating or sleeping, which deprives Lin Beishan of the joy of gossiping.
However, it was only for the time it takes to eat a meal, so he could still tolerate it.
Overall, everyone enjoyed the meal.
When the party was over, Wu Qingfeng whispered to Lin Chang'er, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
However, Madam Wu also looked at her eagerly, seemingly wanting to have a chat with her as well.
Lin Chang'er looked back and forth between the mother and child, wondering if they had planned it together.
Wu Qingfeng also noticed this and whispered to Madam Wu, "Mother, let me talk to Chang'er first." He still felt that he should ask Chang'er's opinion first, otherwise, it would be disrespectful for Chang'er if his mother spoke rashly.
