Upon hearing these words, Wang Hong bit her lower lip and whispered, "Sister-in-law, I want to work at Mingda Garments Factory to earn some money, to improve our family's living conditions. But, but, if I go to work, no one will look after Little Zhuang. In the morning, you mentioned that you're not working. Could you, could you..."
She hesitated for a moment, then quickly put down her cup and, her eyes filled with tears, grasped Su Xiao Wan's arm, "Sister-in-law, could you please look after Little Zhuang? He's a good boy, he doesn't cause trouble or cry... Could you help me?"
At this request, Su Xiao Wan's expression darkened – she was being asked to act as a babysitter.
Although she liked Little Zhuang, she didn't want the responsibility of caring for someone else's child. If anything happened, it would be difficult to explain. Moreover, she didn't have the time to spare.
