Chapter 303: Chapter 303 Each Has Their Own Arrangement

"It’s a nanny, just one that lives with us," Ruan Hongzhuang explained.

Ruan Hongzhuang glanced at Shen Siyuan and continued, "You’re not going to be home much in the future either, and I have to work. Someone has to clean the house, right? After a busy day, I can’t possibly be expected to cook dinner myself, can I? If I work hard to earn money and still have to do these chores, isn’t that just like earning money for nothing?"

"I never said you couldn’t hire someone. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I used to have an auntie who helped out around the house, but now my mother is practically living in Bin Hai, she must have stayed to take care of her, so we need to find a new live-in nanny..."

"That does seem like an ideal solution, but with a live-in nanny, you definitely need to find someone with a good character," Xu Liangyou gently reminded from the side.

A live-in nanny shares food and lodging with the employer. If their character is bad, it doesn’t matter how well they work; they can’t be kept on.

Xu Liangyou’s reminder was well-intentioned. Although Tang Tang was cute and innocent, no one knew what kind of person her mother was; it wouldn’t do to blindly bring someone into the house.

He had seen children who were innocent and kind even though their parents were cold-blooded and vicious executioners, the sort of kids who couldn’t eat for days if a kitten or puppy died. It’s not a certainty that a dragon will father a dragon or a phoenix a phoenix; the offspring of a mouse will dig holes.

So this decision had to be made with care.

Hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang’s gaze turned towards Shen Siyuan; it was up to Shen Siyuan to make the decision.

After all, Shen Siyuan was her source of confidence; with him around, she had nothing to fear, not bad people nor anyone with malicious intent.

Shen Siyuan smiled and said, "I can’t be specific, but the person seems alright, quite down-to-earth..."

All of this was investigated by the Special Affairs Bureau and the information they found was very detailed.

However, it wasn’t surprising upon reflection. A deaf-mute person, trying to make a living in society while intending to slack off and deceive, would probably end up starving to death sooner or later.

"We’ll have a trial period when she arrives. There shouldn’t be any problems."

Shen Siyuan wasn’t worried about these issues.

"If that’s the case, let her come and have a try," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"It’s not that simple; there are many issues to deal with," Shen Siyuan said.

Shen Siyuan asked the Special Affairs Bureau to investigate Tang Tang’s background. As the Bureau was unclear about Shen Siyuan’s intentions, they did not alarm the person involved after their investigation, and everything was done in private.

How to handle things afterward depended on Shen Siyuan.

But now that there was a perfect solution, Shen Siyuan was ready to notify the Special Affairs Bureau to take whatever action was necessary, to do whatever processing was due. Tang Tang had been left to wander; they couldn’t pretend nothing had happened.

Of course, the most important thing was to bring over Tang Tang’s mother.

For the Special Affairs Bureau, these matters were trivial things they could handle easily. Being able to do Si Yuan a favor with such a small matter was indeed a big win for them.

Now that the matter had been settled, Shen Siyuan did not hesitate and directly called Zhong Xiaonan.

Zhong Xiaonan was the Special Affairs Bureau’s liaison in Bin Hai, and the two didn’t have much contact.

On normal days, Zhong Xiaonan would just send her progress reports on cultivating Iron-eating Fireflies.

However, Shen Siyuan was being too simplistic, thinking that cultivating Iron-eating Fireflies was easy; it turned out to be somewhat presumptuous. The world is different, and so naturally, the difficulty is different.

After several attempts by Zhong Xiaonan, the cultivated fetuses always ended up dead during the hatching process, making no progress in a short period.

Zhong Xiaonan was also anxious, but anxiety was of no use. After trying various traditional methods without success, she decided to try some scientific techniques.

Shen Siyuan let her experiment as long as she didn’t kill his pair of male and female Netherworld Fire Fireflies.

Shen Siyuan had his suspicions and thought it might have to do with nature’s spiritual energy. Iron-eating Fireflies could be considered an unusual breed from the Great Wilderness; although they didn’t grow up in a land rich with Spiritual Energy, the entirety of the Great Wilderness was imbued with it.

And now, in this world, with no Spiritual Energy at all, the essential conditions for propagation were severed.

Zhong Xiaonan still felt quite embarrassed, believing she had let down Shen Siyuan’s trust.

Moreover, the task Shen Siyuan entrusted them with, to investigate Tang Tang’s origins, had also taken too much time to yield results.

Thus, she was very concerned about leaving a bad impression in Shen Siyuan’s mind and feared he might think everyone at the Special Affairs Bureau was incompetent.

It wasn’t just her thinking this way; even their team leader Song Meixian, and even Wu Juzhang, felt this way: having been tasked with two jobs, they hadn’t handled either particularly well.

So when Shen Siyuan made a call, Zhong Xiaonan was especially enthusiastic, hoping to redeem some good grace.

Naturally, Shen Siyuan was unaware of these thoughts, and if he knew, he would only say they were overthinking.

The breeding of Iron-eating Fireflies wasn’t worth mentioning, and investigating Tang Tang’s background was actually quite troublesome, as she had been passed around too many times. Tracing the layers back was an arduous task that required a lot of manpower and time.

After giving a few instructions, Shen Siyuan hung up the phone and turned his gaze to Tang Tang in the yard.

The little guy was actually quite smart and had already learned to ride a tricycle, although she couldn’t quite grasp the steering and kept making circles, so she wound up spinning in place, which frustrated Dou Dou to the point of wanting to pull her off and ride it herself.

Tang Tang, on the other hand, was not in the least bit upset; she just grinned foolishly with her mouth open.

The little one should be able to meet her mother soon.

Shen Siyuan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Lin Qiuxue, who stood on the veranda and was nervously watching him, and waved to her.

Lin Qiuxue timidly walked over and said, "Hello, Uncle."

Shen Siyuan reached out and touched her head, smiling, "How has it been lately? Are you getting used to it here?"

Lin Qiuxue nodded and added, "Everyone has been very nice to me."

"That’s good; if there’s anything you can’t handle, go find Grandpa Xu or call me," Shen Siyuan kindly reminded her.

"Mm," Lin Qiuxue obediently responded.

"Wait a moment."

Shen Siyuan went over to the pile of things he had just brought from the car and started searching.

Eventually, he took out a large bag of stationery, which contained everything: notebooks, ballpoint pens, pencils, pencil cases, erasers, and so on; Shen Siyuan wasn’t sure what she needed, so he bought a bit of everything.

Of course, the most eye-catching item was a yellow fluffy toy dog.

Shen Siyuan had heard from Wei Qiulan that back in her hometown, Lin Qiuxue once had a yellow mutt. When she was forced to leave and wandered outside, the dog followed Lin Qiuxue for a long time; it disappeared one day and never returned, leaving Lin Qiuxue grieving for a long while.

When Shen Siyuan was shopping, he saw this fluffy toy dog and remembered the story, so he bought it on a whim.

Indeed, when Lin Qiuxue noticed the fluffy toy dog in Shen Siyuan’s hands, her eyes sparkled with surprise and nervousness. The surprise was self-explanatory, and the nervousness came from fear that the little dog wasn’t meant for her.

But Shen Siyuan didn’t disappoint her; he handed both the toy dog and the bag of stationery to her.

"These are gifts for you, to encourage your studies," Shen Siyuan said.

"Th-thank you, Uncle..." Lin Qiuxue’s voice was somewhat choked up.

"Go on, put your things away," Shen Siyuan said.

"Mm~"

Lin Qiuxue nodded, then, holding onto the items, she quickly ran into the house.

Shen Siyuan withdrew his gaze and looked towards Wei Qiulan nearby.

"How is it, have you made up your mind?" Shen Siyuan asked.
