"If you want them to cough up more money, I've thought of the best way: we just buy a house nearby, and you take care of them every day, doing their housework."
"I guess, maybe, they would pay more." Zhang Shouhua never really expected Du Xia to do such a thing.
Have her come over to do housework and look after Zhang Dagu and his wife? Why would Du Xia be willing, "I'm not a nanny."
"You see, you're not happy, nobody's happy, what can we do then?"
"My parents will definitely hire a nanny. Once the money's spent, it's spent."
"At least we don't have to go over there and work, and we'll get to have more time to ourselves."
"I've made up my mind, I'll tutor more students during the summer break, won't that increase our income?"
"We can still save up enough money to send Xiao Xin abroad for her studies." Since Zhang Dagu's side won't give money, that's fine too; they can just work hard to earn money themselves, right?
