Mr. Zhao hired a neat and tidy old lady, who was actually just over fifty, to take care of the children and prepare three meals a day.
As a result, Li Bo's life suddenly became much easier.
He had a plump and healthy appearance after the completion of his confinement period.
After sending his old mother away, there was a period of time when Mr. Zhao felt uneasy inside; after all, she was his real mother and had always treated him well, considering his needs in everything.
But one day, he overheard a few families at the base speaking about their own old mothers, and he no longer felt guilty.
This is what those people said:
"...It's really great that Old Lady Zhao has left; our base is now free from one less nuisance. I'm not even afraid of losing things in my yard anymore..."
"Yes, that old lady was so lazy. She had her own vegetable garden but planted nothing. This summer she just treated our gardens as if they were her own."
