Chen Mu understood well enough: it wasn't a matter of suitability, but rather that Fan Shengmei was reluctant to spend the money. She felt that a thirty-to-fifty-thousand-yuan-a-month nanny was too expensive and that it would be better to save that money to send back to her parents in her hometown.
Fan Shengmei wanted to buy a place for her parents in Shanghai—even something small would be better than the brick-and-tile house back home. But she was afraid that constantly asking Chen Mu for money would annoy him and lead him to dump her. So, she skimped on the nanny fees, sending the money to her parents bit by bit instead.
