At the end of the month, Wang Yuezhi gave her her wages, exactly thirty yuan.
They said they'd add five yuan, but they didn't.
Wen Qiao didn't want to make things too ugly, so she spoke a few words of concern to Zhao Lili privately.
On the first day of the following month, she left the Zhao family.
Even the most beloved person can fade in a child's affection over time.
Wen Qiao carried her things back to the Shen family home.
Shen Haiyang has recovered from his illness and will be assigned to the military in the second half of the year.
During this period, I will frequently travel between home and school.
Wang Zhihui has been stuck in a rut lately, unable to find a good job, so she's just staying at home doing nothing.
But she was very good at presenting herself, and she took care of almost everything at home.
She is diligent, efficient, virtuous, and gentle; she does laundry, cooks, and cleans.
Not to mention the nanny liked Wang Zhihui, even the Shen father and son couldn't find anything wrong with her.
Naturally, I like them and treat them like family.
Shen Haiyang kept calling her "Smart Sister".
This made Wang Zhihui truly consider herself a member of the Shen family.
When Wang Zhihui saw Wen Qiao return carrying things, she went to open the door, a flash of disdain crossing her eyes.
"Wen Qiao, where have you been? You haven't come back for so long, we all thought you went back to your hometown."
"Really, you didn't go back to your hometown and didn't even tell everyone. Everyone was very worried about you."
Wen Qiao was puzzled by Wang Zhihui's sudden kindness towards her.
Looking up, I saw Shen Jichuan sitting on the sofa in the living room.
It looked like she was talking to Shen Haiyang.
Shen Haiyang's face fell immediately upon seeing Wen Qiao.
"Dad, I'm not having lunch at home. I'm going to school first and I'll meet up with some classmates this afternoon."
Shen Jichuan didn't stop him, and nodded slightly.
After all, Shen Haiyang is not young anymore, and he can make his own judgments.
Seeing that Shen Jichuan agreed and did not say anything to stop him, Shen Haiyang added a word of concern.
"Thank you, Dad. Please take good care of yourself during this business trip. Sister Li will take care of things at home; we must not let cunning people ruin our Shen family."
This was clearly a dig at Wen Qiao.
After finishing his sentence, Shen Haiyang turned and left.
Wang Zhihui could tell that Shen Haiyang disliked Wen Qiao, and she was secretly overjoyed.
After Shen Haiyang left, Shen Jichuan got up and went to his study.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Qiao first put the cloth bag containing her odds and ends into the room on the second floor before going downstairs.
I noticed that neither Sister Li nor Wang Zhihui were in the living room.
Wen Qiao still knocked on the study door.
Shen Jichuan seemed to be waiting for her.
"What do you want?"
Wen Qiao had originally intended to ask her directly about attending night school.
After all, Shen Jichuan had previously suggested that she attend night school.
But now, she knows that Shen Jichuan is going on a business trip to another city.
He then asked with concern, "Are you going on a business trip out of town? How many days will you be gone? Is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen Jichuan looked up at her.
"How can you help me?"
This question stumped Wen Qiao.
She paused, then said, "It would be alright if you could help me pack my clothes."
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao and said, "Just say what you have to say."
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.
He wasn't unaware of this principle.
Wen Qiao then said, "As you can see, I'm back from the Zhao family now. I listened to what you said and decided to quit being the Zhao family's nanny. You said I could attend night school. So, could you lend me some money first? I can write an IOU. Or, I can do something for you..."
What Wen Qiao wanted to say was that she could wash Shen Jichuan's clothes and clean the house.
Shen Jichuan frowned.
"Get rid of those inappropriate thoughts of yours now, and stop trying to seduce people. I'm old enough to be your father."
That's what I said, but when I think about that time Wen Qiao made inappropriate advances towards him in the study...
Shen Jichuan felt extremely uncomfortable.
Wen Qiao pursed her lips, thinking that Shen Jichuan was warning her not to seduce Shen Haiyang.
"Don't worry, I've already promised you. Of course I won't do anything that I shouldn't do."
Shen Jichuan didn't say anything to make things difficult for Wen Qiao, but instead took an envelope from his desk drawer and gave it to her.
"Here's two hundred yuan, enough for your school expenses."
Wen Qiao hurriedly stepped forward and immediately said, "Then I'll write you an IOU."
Before Shen Jichuan could refuse, Wen Qiao walked over.
