After Wen Qiao arrived at the Wu family's door, she rang the doorbell. The housekeeper heard the sound and slowly came out of the house.
Through the door, he saw Wen Qiao ask, "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"
Wen Qiao stood still and said obediently and quietly:
"Hello, I'm Wen Qiao. My mother's name is Lü Yazhi. Is she still working at your house? I need to talk to my mother about something."
Upon hearing Wen Qiao's words, the nanny realized she was Lü Yazhi's daughter and hurriedly went forward to open the door.
"You're Sister Lü's daughter? Come in quickly."
The nanny didn't look young, probably in her forties, and looked about the same age as her mother.
Wen Qiao nodded politely, said thank you, and then went inside.
Lu Yazhi could have left on time after finishing her work at noon today. She wasn't a live-in nanny for the Wu family; she just cooked better. The previous nanny for the Wu family had gone back to her hometown, and she took over. She did a lot of work, but she didn't complain. On the contrary, she did everything very well.
The nanny has returned to the Wu family, but since the Wu family sees that Lü Yazhi is doing a good job, they haven't said they'd fire her or stop her from working.
Let her work for the Wu family long-term.
Her salary remained the same as before, but at the Wu family's house, she only needed to prepare three meals a day; the rest was handled by another nanny.
The other nanny was also good at her job, but her cooking skills were not good.
After eating the delicious food cooked by Lü Yazhi, the Wu family no longer wanted to eat the plain boiled rice that the nanny used to cook.
With the Wu family's means, they could easily afford to keep two nannies.
Besides, Commander Wu's daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and if she does, the family will need to hire another person, so we might as well keep two nannies for now.
Unfortunately, Commander Wu's son and daughter-in-law are coming home for dinner today.
Commander Wu's daughter-in-law, Li Sumei, is a pediatrician at a hospital. She rarely comes home for meals, but she did so once recently and developed a liking for the stir-fried chicken made by Lü Yazhi.
This time, the old lady of the Wu family specially instructed Lü Yazhi to make this dish, waiting for her granddaughter-in-law Li Sumei to return.
Li Sumei returned home a little late, which also caused Lü Yazhi to leave work late.
Wen Qiao happened to need to find Lü Yazhi, so she came to this address.
Lu Yazhi thought Wen Qiao had something important to say, and after hearing what Sister Wang said, she hurriedly went outside.
The old lady of the Wu family called Sister Wang over and asked her a few questions.
Sister Wang explained in detail that it was Sister Lü's daughter who came to see her.
Sister Wang served the old lady and got along well with her, even exchanging a few joking remarks.
They kept praising how beautiful Sister Lü's daughter, Wen Qiao, was.
The old lady of the Wu family immediately became interested.
She has one grandson, two granddaughters, and three or four grandsons-in-law, all of whom are currently single.
"Sister Lü, bring your daughter to the living room."
"Grandma, we can talk outside, don't disturb your meal." Lü Yazhi hurriedly told Wen Qiao to wait for her, and then she went to the old lady to say this.
Grandma Wu said with a smile, "What's the rush? You haven't eaten yet. Eat first, then you can get back to work."
"Sister Wang said, 'Your daughter is beautiful. Let me take a look.'"
When Lü Yazhi started working at the Wu family's house, the Wu family asked about her situation. Lü's older sister said that the family only had one daughter, who was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Nobody expected an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl to get married.
Lü Yazhi felt there was no need to say it.
The old lady of the Wu family naturally thought that Wen Qiao was still a little girl.
Before Lü Yazhi could speak, Sister Wang called Wen Qiao over to the restaurant.
Wen Qiao stood there gracefully. The old lady of the Wu family looked her up and down, her eyes showing satisfaction. The young girl was pretty and dressed appropriately.
She doesn't look like a country girl at all.
"She's really good-looking."
Besides the old lady of the Wu family, there was also Commander Wu Yongliang, Wu Yongliang's son Wu Jiandong, and his daughter-in-law Li Sumei at the dinner table.
Everyone also took a look at Wen Qiao.
Li Sumei smiled and said, "It really is true, the little girl is so pretty and delicate."
"Thank you for your compliments," Wen Qiao said with a graceful smile.
Lu Yazhi said she wouldn't eat lunch and would go back first, then come back early in the afternoon to clean up.
When the old lady of the Wu family saw that she insisted on not staying for dinner, she didn't say anything.
The mother and daughter left the Wu family together.
Wen Qiao felt relieved as long as her mother wasn't at the Shen family's workplace.
Lü Yazhi asked Wen Qiao why she had come at this time.
Wen Qiao explained to Lü Yazhi the purpose of her visit.
“Buy me a house? How can that be? You’ve only just arrived in the city, you definitely don’t have any money. If you use Mr. Shen’s money to buy me a house, we’ll never be able to hold our heads up in the Shen family again.”
Lü Yazhi always felt that things couldn't go on like this.
Wen Qiao chuckled and explained, “Mom, he knows that I’m most worried about you, which is why he thought of buying you a house. The house has already been decided, it’s the same courtyard where you live. I came here today to take you to the housing management office this afternoon to transfer the ownership and get the property certificate.”
"It might not be possible to do it right away, but you can go and pick it up when you have time later."
"Don't refuse, everything is settled."
Lü Yazhi knew that since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to accept it.
But in Lü Yazhi's heart, she always felt that it was given to her by her son-in-law.
In the future, she will leave this house to her grandson and granddaughter.
After finishing her work at the housing management office all afternoon, Wen Qiao told her mother not to forget to go to the housing management office to pick up the new property ownership certificate in a few days.
After she finished doing all that, she went home to her family compound.
Just as she arrived at the gate of the family compound, her right eyelid twitched a few times for some reason. Wen Qiao rubbed it and pushed the cart inside.
As soon as he arrived home, he saw that the door was open and two people were sitting in the living room: Shen Haiyang and Yang Xuelan, who was heavily pregnant.
