In her past life, Zhao Zhenzhen's military officer husband made a mistake, dying and bringing shame to the entire family.
To atone for her husband's sins, Zhao Zhenzhen did the hardes...
Zhang Ma started working at Zhou Jin's house when Madam Zhou was still alive. She could be considered an elder in the Zhou family.
Previously, when Zhou Jin was seriously ill, Zhou Ruonan said she would move back to take care of Zhou Jin, which made Zhang Ma very happy.
Who knew that Zhou Ruonan not only came back to live there herself, but also brought her husband, son and daughter to live with her at the Zhou family home.
Since Zhou Ruonan and her family of four joined the family, Zhang Ma's workload has skyrocketed.
After Zhou Jin returned from the hospital, her meals were mainly light, and Zhang Ma painstakingly prepared nutritious meals for her every day. Although, Zhou Jin could only eat a few bites.
Because Zhang Ma had to put in the effort to prepare nutritious meals for Zhou Jin, she certainly wasn't as attentive to Zhou Ruonan's family. She tried to avoid making time-consuming dishes whenever possible.
Zhou Ruonan and her family of four, however, showed no self-awareness and were picky eaters.
Sometimes, after Zhang Ma made braised pork, they would say they wanted steamed fish. The next day, after Zhang Ma made steamed fish, they would say they wanted braised pork again.
This infuriated Zhang Ma.
Zhou Ruonan's family, though not the owners, acted more like the hosts than the owners themselves.
Out of respect for Zhou Jin, Zhang Ma didn't bother arguing with them. But she only had two hands; she would do what she could, and there was nothing she could do about what she couldn't.
Don't underestimate Zhang Ma just because she's a nanny; she's a permanent employee, working in the logistics department.
The organization arranged for Zhang Ma to work as Zhou Jin's nanny. Not as a nanny for Zhou Ruonan's family.
Given Zhou Ruonan and her husband's social standing, they simply don't qualify to hire a nanny.
"My dad said we're going to eat half an hour later? How come I didn't know that?" Zhou Ruonan looked at Zhang Ma with suspicion.
"The commander just came downstairs to tell me this himself. If Miss doesn't understand, you can ask the commander," said Zhang Ma.
"My dad went downstairs? Who carried him down? Zhou Bingchen?" Zhou Ruonan was even more puzzled.
Since Zhou Jin fell ill, she hasn't left the building.
Zhou Jin felt weak all over, and even the slightest movement would cause her to break out in a cold sweat.
Zhou Jin didn't like to trouble others, and when she had the strength to sit up, she preferred to stay in her room, sitting by the window and looking at the scenery outside.
"Miss, if there's anything you don't understand, you should ask the commander yourself! I'm still cooking, excuse me." Zhang Ma turned and left.
Zhang Ma didn't want to pay any attention to Zhou Ruonan.
Zhou Ruonan constantly proclaims that she's going home to take care of Zhou Jin, but in reality, she hasn't lifted a finger to help with any of the work.
Zhou Jin already had a complete service team, including nannies, drivers, private doctors, nurses, and so on.
Zhou Ruonan paused, preparing to go upstairs.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Zhou Ruonan opened the door and froze.
The visitors were Zhou Ruonan's younger sister, Zhou Shengnan, and her husband, Xiao Limin.
"What brings you all here?" Zhou Ruonan rolled her eyes and asked.
“Dad called us back for dinner. What? Do we need your permission to come back?” Zhou Shengnan said coldly.
"You were the one who said you didn't want to see me last time. You broke your promise, and now I can't even say a few words to you?" Zhou Ruonan said, pouting.
"Zhou Ruonan, have some shame! This is my dad's house, not yours. I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Dad. If you don't want to be seen by me, you can go back to your Wang family." Seeing that her older sister was blocking the door, Zhou Shengnan couldn't help but push her aside and go inside.
Zhou Ruonan stumbled and almost fell.
After finally managing to stand up straight, Zhou Shengnan went inside.
"Zhou Shengnan, you barbarian! Just because you're strong doesn't mean you can be so great! I'm your older sister, do you even have any manners towards me?" Zhou Ruonan chased after Zhou Shengnan, saying angrily.
“So what if I’m strong? Also, Zhou Ruonan, if you want others to treat you with respect, you have to treat them with respect first. Who told you to block the door and not let me in? If you dare to block the door, you should be prepared to be overturned. If you’re not satisfied, we can have a match.” Zhou Shengnan stood up, rolled up her sleeves and said.
Zhou Shengnan is 45 years old and works at a bank.
Despite her petite and delicate appearance, Zhou Shengnan has practiced Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) and is highly skilled in combat.
Zhou Ruonan has never liked sports since she was a child.
The two sisters are not even in the same league when it comes to fighting skills.
If Zhou Ruonan were to make a move, Zhou Shengnan could easily knock her down with just a few punches.
"Barbarian! Brother-in-law, Shengnan wants to fight me, her older sister. Aren't you going to do anything about her?" Zhou Ruonan had no choice but to turn to Xiao Limin for help.
"Big sister, it's more like my Shengnan is in charge of me. In our family, Shengnan is the boss. Just like in your family, you're the boss, and you're in charge of your brother-in-law," Xiao Limin replied with a grin.
Zhou Ruonan was stunned.
Is she the leader in their family?
That seems to be true; Wang Jiansheng listens to everything she says. If she says to send fifty yuan to her mother-in-law, Wang Jiansheng won't send forty.
Zhou Ruonan quieted down.
Zhou Shengnan secretly gave her husband a thumbs up.
Her older sister is a hopeless romantic. Over the years, she's been completely fooled by Wang Jiansheng. Whenever it comes to Wang Jiansheng and the Wang family, Zhou Ruonan's mind goes completely blank, and she can't think straight.
Although Zhou Shengnan was not afraid of her eldest sister and dared to fight against her, this was, after all, her mother's home.
Dad is still sick!
Zhou Shengnan was afraid that her discord with her older sister would upset her father.
However, every time Zhou Shengnan saw Zhou Ruonan's face, she couldn't help but retort to her.
Therefore, in recent years, Zhou Shengnan has tried to minimize the opportunities to be in the same space as her eldest sister.
If we don't meet, we won't start arguing.
After entering the room, Zhou Shengnan immediately headed upstairs to the second floor.
Zhou Jin lives on the second floor, and Zhou Shengnan wants to go and see if Zhou Jin's condition is any better.
An hour ago, Zhou Shengnan received a call from Zhou Jin, asking her to bring her husband home for dinner.
Zhou Jin rarely calls her children, except during holidays like Chinese New Year, and she doesn't invite them home for meals.
Fearing something might have happened at home, Zhou Shengnan and her husband rushed to the Zhou family home after get off work.
Not long after Zhou Shengnan and her husband went inside, Wang Jiansheng and his two sons returned one after another.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with his brother-in-law, Wang Jiansheng gestured to Zhou Ruonan to go back inside.
After entering the house, Wang Jiansheng hurriedly closed the door and asked, "Ruonan, why did my little sister and the others come back today? Is something wrong with Dad?"
"No! I just got scolded by Dad this afternoon. What's wrong with him? He's got a strong voice!" Zhou Ruonan took the opportunity to complain.
"Did you say something wrong in front of Dad again and make him angry?" Wang Jiansheng asked, somewhat displeased.
Wang Jiansheng followed Zhou Ruonan back to the Zhou family home in an attempt to gain more favor with Zhou Jin.
That's not something to make Zhou Jin angry.
Wang Jiansheng has been stuck in a deputy position for many years. If Zhou Jin is willing to put in a good word for him, a promotion to a full-fledged position is just around the corner.
Wang Jiansheng was too busy trying to curry favor with Zhou Jin!
Unfortunately, Zhou Ruonan manages to jump back and forth on Zhou Jin's bottom line every day.
