Therefore, she made up her mind to do whatever it took to regain her chance to get a decent job.

With these thoughts in mind, Xiaoya didn't sleep a wink all night. The next morning, she got up early, dressed herself carefully, and then went to Grandpa Gu's house again without hesitation.

After greeting Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Gu, they started working.

Xiaoya deliberately avoided breakfast time because she had no money on her and therefore hadn't eaten breakfast.

But she couldn't let the Gu family think she was deliberately trying to freeload breakfast, so she simply went hungry.

When she arrived, everyone at home who was at work had already eaten breakfast and left. Only Grandma Jiang, Grandpa Gu and his wife, Lin Han and the baby were left. After having breakfast, Aunt Li also started preparing a tonic to stew for Lin Han later.

Xiaoya had very sharp eyes; she immediately noticed the clothes soaking in the basin. Without hesitation, she quickly squatted down and began washing them.

Seeing this, Grandma Jiang quickly stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Xiaoya, you don't need to wash these clothes, go and rest." However, Xiaoya shook her head firmly and said, "Grandma, please let me do some work."

My grandmother has wronged you, and I feel really bad about it, so I really want to help you with something. Please don't be shy, I have plenty of strength!

Xiaoya's voice trembled slightly, as if she was afraid that Old Mrs. Jiang would kick her out.

She clutched the clothes tightly in her hands, as if they were her only lifeline, and tears welled up in her eyes, as if they were about to spill over at any moment.

Seeing this, Grandma Jiang sighed helplessly.

After all, she was an elderly woman who had experienced many hardships, and she was also Xiaoya's grandmother. Naturally, she couldn't be unreasonable and blame everything Gu Hong did on Xiaoya.

Although Xiaoya is Gu Hong's granddaughter, Grandma Jiang still felt in her heart that with such a morally corrupt grandmother, Xiaoya probably wouldn't be any better.

However, Grandma Jiang's conscience told her that it was wrong to harbor prejudice against Xiaoya without reason. Everyone should be responsible for their own actions and not hold a grudge against others because of one person's mistake. Besides, Xiaoya was just a child; what bad intentions could she possibly have?

After much deliberation, Grandma Jiang finally decided not to make things difficult for Xiaoya. She thought, "It's just a few pieces of clothing. Letting Xiaoya wash them won't hurt; they won't get damaged anyway. As long as Xiaoya doesn't touch Lin Han's or the baby's things, there shouldn't be any problems."

Grandma Jiang ignored Xiaoya, and Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief, squatting on the ground to continue washing clothes.

Xiaoya is a girl who has been working since she can remember, so she is very quick and efficient. Even Aunt Li praises her highly.

"These days, there are very few young girls as capable as you."

Xiaoya smiled, said nothing, and after washing the clothes, she went to the vegetable garden to water and fertilize them.

After a busy morning, Xiaoya saw that Grandma Jiang was about to start preparing lunch, so she went to the kitchen to help.

"Grandma, let me cook a meal. I'm a pretty good cook."

Grandma Jiang didn't really like people entering her kitchen, so she refused immediately.

But Xiaoya just stood at the kitchen doorway and wouldn't leave, awkwardly clasping her left hand with her right.
