"Then, not waiting for her refusal, she continued, "Let me finish. I'll have to run into town often from now on, and I may not have much time during the day to look after Tingyun. I was wondering if he could stay with you during the day to play with Guibao? Of course, his dad will come to pick him up for meals."
Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyun immediately looked at Ma Xiulian, with clear expectations in his eyes.
Ma Xiulian also glanced at him, thought for a moment, and then nodded. "Sure! Comrade Jiang, feel free to bring your child over. Guibao often plays alone anyway."
She didn't falsely say things like he could have simple meals at her place, after all, who's got extra to share these days?
Jiang Manyun also liked her straightforwardness, so she gave a gentle smile. "Thank you, aunty! I'm just about to head to the town now. I'll be troubling you to look after Tingyun."
Ma Xiulian laughed and said, "That's no trouble at all! Go ahead and do your stuff, don't delay."
