With four nannies serving me, I finished my breakfast.

Thinking about it is quite funny, just like the scenes in ancient costume dramas where maids serve their master.

After breakfast, I felt a bit better.

Since my phone was confiscated, I idly nestled on the sofa and stared at the TV.

The colorful images were flickering, and I had no idea what was playing. My mind was filled with the image of the person chopped up into buns on the case.

The two new nannies also sat on the sofa beside me, accompanying me to watch TV.

Thudding footsteps sounded as the former nanny, Aunt Li, came up: "Xiaoqing, your brother is here."

Behind her was my brother, looking worried: "I've been calling your phone but no one answered, so I had no choice but to come here."

My brother said his son's fiancée was urging to finalize the engagement gifts, needing 180,000 yuan, and the house they fancied in Shenzhen required an 800,000 yuan down payment. In total, it's over a million, and he was so troubled that his hair had turned half gray.

My brother came to borrow money. The money in this household wasn't earned by me, nor was it in my control.

Since I didn't have the say, I could only tell him that I would talk to my in-laws once they came back.

When I sent my brother off, I distanced myself from the nannies, hesitating to reveal the family's secret to him.

But my brother was fixated on the family's money: "Sister, my good sister, you must talk properly to our parents about this money! You must really bring it up; your nephew's future depends on you."

I was petrified. He didn't care about me at all. Despite my heavy-heartedness and poor mental state, he didn't even notice.
