I don't purport to be of much help, but here's the result of my curiosity:
贼风 zei2feng1
1. draft coming in between the door and the frame
2. (Chi. med) harmful/evil wind
入耳 ru4'er3
s.v. pleasant to listen to
Maybe a native speaker can be of more
And, if others are interested to read the story, here it is!

have you read the story? i really enjoy it. when i'm done reading i'll look for the English
translation, and see how much of the story i actually understood...
goodbye!

Hi ayala,
Nope, I haven't read the story, but I plan to. Maybe putting the phrase in context will help me
venture another guess Let me know your thoughts on the story, I like it so far but I've just read
the first few lines.

above is the context.
I think it's not a typical phrase in Chinese. According to the context, I gusse the meaning is
bothered by trivials

I think this is it. The nanny, though not educated, has seen a lot, and diagnoses that the child
can't stop crying because of a medical condition as some evil wind (in the chinese medicine sense)
has gotten into her ears. Take a look at this -> Research on English Translation of TCM

中医术语翻译的回顾与思考
术语是中医药学的重要组成部分，其特点是简明扼要，非常富有民族特点。�

普通用语向规范的专业术语方向发展。如“贼风”，曾翻译成thief-wind，后来
被译成wind-evil，进而才形成现今的pathogenic wind这个比较科学的译文。

my head. And I believed it.
