Chapter 175: Delusion

Zhang Qiuhe started looking for a job two days after being fired. It wasn’t that she was diligent, but she was holding back a lot of anger in her heart. She wanted to prove to An Hui that she didn’t need her to give her a job. She could find a better one on her own!

As if this would prove that she didn’t owe An Hui anything.

However, finding a job was not as easy as she thought. For several days in a row, she ran into obstacles everywhere. She encountered the same problem when she first started looking for a job.

- No certificate.

The economy has not been good in the past two years. No matter which industry is going downhill, the same is true for nannies. The requirements are even stricter than before.

And the salary is shockingly low. Even with such a low salary, they are unwilling to hire her.

At first, Zhang Qiuhe was unwilling to believe it and thought that these people were deceiving her. But after asking several families in a row, she finally understood that this was the truth.

But she couldn't figure it out. The nannies she knew before all said that the salary was very high. She knew a nanny in her fifties who was paid 50,000 yuan a month! And her employer also found a job for her son.

After hearing this kind of talk too much, Zhang Qiuhe seriously overestimated her ability.

But she never thought that the nanny had been working in the employer's home since she was in her twenties. The employer was almost grown up under her care, and she had a bond with him.

Moreover, she not only bears the responsibilities of a nanny, but also has the duties of a housekeeper. The most important thing is that her cooking is especially delicious. How can an ordinary nanny compare to her?

Zhang Qiuhe didn't ask carefully at the time, and only remembered the other party's high salary.

After hitting a wall for a while, Zhang Qiuhe, who had always been very proud, completely recognized the reality and decided to take the exam.

She was still thinking that maybe after taking the exam, she would be able to find a good job.

Who knew that after studying hard for a period of time, taking various exams, and spending a lot of money, Zhang Qiuhe still couldn't find a job.

At this time, she already had some regrets. She shouldn't have torn her face with An Hui. If she talked to the other party nicely, maybe An Hui would be willing to give her a salary increase.

Because she was busy during this period, she naturally couldn't take care of the family, but Zhenzhen's father had not found a job, so he could take care of the family.

As a result, when she returned home, she found it messy. Her daughter's hair was tangled and her face was dirty. She didn't know if she hadn't washed it.

The cute little girl had become sloppy.

Zhang Qiuhe had always been proud of having such a cute daughter. Seeing her daughter being taken care of like this, she was instantly furious.

In addition, she was already angry in her heart, and she started to quarrel with Zhenzhen's father when she got home.

As a result, this time, Zhenzhen's father, who always gave in to her, scolded her out of character: "How dare you say that? If it weren't for you, a stupid woman! We would still be doing well in An Hui's house!"

"What, are you still thinking about that witch An Hui!" Zhang Qiuhuo started to make trouble unreasonably again, crying and saying that it must be An Hui who seduced him: "I was wondering why she hasn't married, it turns out she likes to hook up with married men!"

"Are you sick?" Zhenzhen's father was so angry that he slapped Zhang Qiuhuo in the face: "Your brain is getting more and more problematic now!"

"You dare to hit me, I'll fight you!" Zhang Qiuhuo was unbelievable at first, and then she rushed up and grabbed and stretched Zhenzhen's father.

Zhenzhen was trembling as she watched, and couldn't help but burst into tears. She didn't understand why her parents were still unhappy and even fought after leaving the bad guy's house.

Moreover, it wasn't long before Zhenzhen felt that there were not so many delicious foods at home. She now asked her father for delicious foods, but her father didn't buy them for her.

In fact, Zhang Qiuhe worked in An Hui's house before. Even though she was not satisfied with the salary, the benefits were particularly good.

When there were guests at home, the things given to An Hui were not enough for An Hui to eat, so Zhang Qiuhe basically took them home.

And the things Zhenzhen ate were naturally taken from An Hui's house.

It's not that Zhenzhen's father was reluctant to buy them, but those things were too expensive. Now both of them have no jobs and are living off their savings. How can they buy a bag of snacks that cost hundreds of dollars?

But Zhenzhen didn't understand this. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She cried even harder, but her parents didn't care about her at all.

--

Zhang Qiuhe couldn't find a job and could only wait for news at home. When she was at home, Zhenzhen's life was better. At least her face was washed clean and her hair was combed.

Although her mother always frowned and muttered, and she didn't know who she was scolding, Zhenzhen was used to it and didn't feel much.

That day, Zhenzhen hesitantly reminded Zhang Qiuhe: "Mom, my doll, ... you promised to buy it for me."

Zhang Qiuhe was reminded by her, and she remembered that although she was not living well at home, she still loved Zhenzhen. She thought that the doll was only worth a few dozen yuan at most, so she should buy it if the child wanted it. So

Zhang Qiuhe took Zhenzhen to a doll store. Zhenzhen saw the doll at first sight and happily pointed it to her mother: "Mom, that's it, my doll!"

Zhang Qiuhe thought that the doll couldn't be that expensive, so she didn't even look at the price and took it down to pay.

As a result, the clerk said, "Madam, the total is 3,999."

Zhang Qiuhe was stunned and screamed in surprise, "A broken doll is so expensive! Why don't you go and grab it!"

The clerk thought he was crazy, but still smiled and said, "Sorry, the official price is set. Our store is all genuine. You can go to other stores and have a look. They are all the same price."

Zhang Qiuhe was dumbfounded. She never thought that a doll would be so expensive. She looked down on An Hui's gift before and thought it was cheap... Thinking of this, she felt uncomfortable.

Obviously, the other party gave her a doll that was so expensive, but he was unwilling to raise her salary. If the other party raised her salary, how could she be dissatisfied? Anyway, after talking about it, Zhang Qiuhe just refused to admit that she was wrong.

"Mom..." Zhenzhen tugged at the sleeve of the dazed Zhang Qiuhe and called her in a soft voice.

Zhang Qiuhe glanced at the doll and gritted her teeth: "Zhenzhen, be good and listen, we don't want it anymore." "

Wuwuwu, but Mom promised Zhenzhen..." Zhenzhen really liked this doll, so much so that she cried and quarreled with Zhang Qiuhe.

However, if it was only a hundred yuan, it would be fine, Zhang Qiuhe could buy it with gritted teeth, but the problem was that it cost several thousand yuan. She didn't even know how long she could eat meat, so why buy a cloth doll?

But she couldn't bear to see her daughter crying like this, so she had to coax her: "Okay, okay, mommy will take you to buy it somewhere else. This is a black shop that specializes in cheating people..."

After saying that, she gave the clerk a meaningful look.

The clerk: "..." How come there are all kinds of people?

Zhenzhen looked at the doll reluctantly. At the age of seven, she already knew that more than 3,000 yuan was a lot of money, but she still couldn't help thinking, clearly mommy said Auntie An was a bad guy, but why did she give her such an expensive doll?

Zhang Qiuhe kept her word and said she would buy the same doll for Zhenzhen. She really found a store that sold it. This time, she carefully asked how much it cost before paying. When she learned that it was only a few dozen yuan, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

She muttered, "It's just a doll, how can it be so expensive? Nowadays, stores are just rip-offs!"

After that, she looked at the silent Zhenzhen and said, "See? Mommy said she would buy it for you!"

Zhenzhen didn't say anything. She glanced at the doll in Zhang Qiuhe's hand and pouted. Even she could see that this doll was completely different from hers. The mouth of this doll was crooked and the eyes looked weird.

Zhang Qiuhe actually saw it, but she thought it was nothing, as long as she could coax the child.

In the end, Zhenzhen had a doll with a crooked mouth in her hand, but she didn't like it at all.

She couldn't help thinking that it would be better if she brought her doll back before leaving the bad guy's house.

But she didn't dare to say anything recently, because her parents seemed to be in a worse mood and would start quarreling over a disagreement.

It's no wonder Zhang Qiuhe was so irritable. She asked so many nanny recruitment companies, and they all told her to wait for notification. But after so long, there was no news at all. What else did she not understand? It was obvious that they didn't like her.

It had been more than a month, and she couldn't even find a job. How could she not be irritable?

What made her even angrier was that she kept urging Zhenzhen's father to find a job, but he just lay at home motionless, saying that he needed to rest for a while.

Zhang Qiuhe was so angry that she cursed: "Look at yourself, we haven't made any money for a whole month, and we're not going out to work. Are

we going to starve?" Zhenzhen's father has been in a bad mood recently, and he immediately mocked: "Who do you blame for losing my job? How dare you blame me? If it weren't for you, I would still be working comfortably with a monthly salary of tens of thousands!"

Zhang Qiuhe was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she had nothing to say, so she could only blame An Hui again: "Tell me why she is so stingy, she didn't care about any feelings at all, and just fired us!"

"Didn't you say that you can easily find a job with a higher salary than before? Go find it?" Zhenzhen's father was in a bad mood, and he poked Zhang Qiuhe's heart as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhang Qiuhe glared at him, but didn't dare to say anything, otherwise the two would fight again.

"At worst, I can find another job. I just don't believe it. I heard that the salary for working in a factory is also very high. I'm less than 40 years old. If I work in a factory, they will definitely be willing to hire me!" Zhang Qiuhe didn't know whether she said this to Zhenzhen's father or to herself. After she finished speaking, she finally felt relieved. After

she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhenzhen's father and said, "You will go to the factory with me tomorrow to find a job!"

Zhenzhen's father was a little reluctant. He was used to doing easy work. Now working in a factory, not to mention being tired, the salary is not as high as before. He really couldn't accept it.

But he also knew that if they didn't find a job quickly, they would have to eat up all the money they had, so he could only agree reluctantly.

Zhenzhen listened to it and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. That's great. Mom and Dad should be able to find a job soon.

This time, after staying away from the bad guy, mom and dad got jobs again, so they will definitely not quarrel and can continue to live the same life as before.

Zhenzhen thought, why are they still not living well after staying away from the bad guy? It must be because mom and dad haven't found a job yet, and everything will be fine after they find a job.

With such hope, Zhenzhen seemed very happy the next day when she learned that mom and dad could enter the factory. She had had enough of such a life!

However, the reality was completely different from what she imagined. The intensity of work in the factory was completely different from that at home in Anhui. On the first day after school, Zhenzhen waited for a long time but no one came to pick her up.

It was not until the evening that Zhang Qiuhe hurried over. One of her hands was red and swollen, and she looked tired. Zhenzhen naturally noticed it, but she didn't dare to ask. She felt that if she asked, her mother would be angry.

When she got home, Zhang Qiuhe took out the food that she had packed from the factory. This was Zhenzhen's dinner.

Zhenzhen was originally very happy to see her mother bringing food, because Zhang Qiuhe always brought her special delicious things when she was at Anhui's house.

But when she opened the bag, she saw that the food inside had become a lump, which made people have no appetite. She was instantly disappointed. She didn't want to eat it, so she deliberately said: "Mom, is this for Xiaobai next door?"

Xiaobai is a dog raised by the neighboring family.

Zhang Qiuhuo frowned when she heard this, because she had eaten the same thing today. She immediately said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're so young and you already know how to curse? Eat quickly, then do your homework and go to bed."

Zhenzhen curled her lips and whispered, "I don't want to eat this."

Zhang Qiuhuo was tired after a day of work. She still hasn't been so tired in a long time. Hearing this, the anger that had been suppressed suddenly came up: "Don't want to eat this? What do you want to eat if you don't want to eat this! Ah? Tell me what you want to eat? I've worked hard all day, and I'm exhausted but still thinking about picking you up, and you're still picky. Do you have a conscience?"

Zhenzhen was stunned, because her mother seldom yelled at her like this. Of course, it was also because except for Zhang Qiuhuo making trouble, they had a good life and Zhenzhen seemed very well-behaved.

This time, Zhenzhen rebelled because she had no appetite for the food. She didn't expect her mother to say that.

She burst into tears. Zhang Qiuhe felt regretful when she saw her daughter like this. She still felt sorry for her daughter. She hugged Zhenzhen and cried, "It's because I'm incompetent. I can't give you a better life..."

"Mom, let's go find Aunt An." Zhenzhen didn't call An Hui a "bad girl" anymore.

Zhang Qiuhe was moved for a moment when she heard that, but she quickly gave up the idea, "Don't say that again in the future."

She knew that she had completely offended An Hui before, and it would be useless even if she went to find her.

But Zhenzhen didn't think so. She had already started thinking about this matter in her heart. She still remembered the route from the kindergarten to Anhui's home...

In the end, Zhenzhen cried a lot. After all, she didn't eat the food that Zhang Qiuhe brought back from the factory. Zhang Qiuhe made something simple for her. Although it was not very delicious, at least it was acceptable.

Zhenzhen couldn't tell what she felt at that moment. She only wanted to find Anhui.

She wanted to find Aunt An and admit that she was wrong. Aunt An would forgive her, and then Mom and Dad could go to work for Aunt An again.

This time, she didn't want a big house anymore. She just wanted to be the same as before.

At that moment, Zhang Qiuhe said with guilt, "Zhenzhen, Mom can't pick you up until dark in the future. You stay in school and finish your homework, and Mom will come."

Zhenzhen's eyes lit up when she heard that. It was just right for her to find Aunt An while her mother didn't pick her up!

So Zhenzhen agreed happily without any resistance. Zhang Qiuhe didn't know what her daughter was thinking, and felt sad that her daughter was too sensible.

The next day after school, Zhenzhen did not see her mother waiting for her at the school gate.

She was instantly happy and was about to go find An Hui, but was stopped by the teacher.

Primary school teachers would wait at the gate with their students, and they would give one child to each parent. Today, the teacher in charge of Zhenzhen did not see Zhenzhen's parents, so naturally she would not let her leave.

"Zhenzhen, you can't run around, wait here with the teacher for your parents to come." The teacher said gently.

Zhenzhen was anxious. How could this be possible? She still had to find Aunt An!

Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Teacher, my mother told me yesterday that she will wait for me at the intersection ahead. I can just go there directly."

Although the teacher thought that Zhenzhen was such a good child that she couldn't lie, she still called to confirm, but the call didn't go through.

"My mother's phone is out of battery." Zhenzhen lied, and then ran away in a hurry without waiting for the teacher to react: "Goodbye, teacher!"

It was too late to chase her. Seeing her disappear in the crowd, thinking that Zhenzhen would not lie, he stopped chasing her.

Zhenzhen went to Anhui's house according to her memory, but Zhang Qiuhe had always taken her on a bicycle before, so it was naturally fast. This time she walked on foot and didn't get there for a long time.

But thinking that as long as she found An Hui, she could live her life as before, she insisted and walked to the door of An Hui's house when it was almost dark.

She immediately rang the doorbell impatiently, and adjusted her expression to make a pitiful look, hoping to make An Hui feel distressed.

Who knew that it was a strange woman who opened the door. Zhenzhen was stunned and immediately frowned and said, "This is Aunt An's house, who are you?!"

The woman felt uncomfortable when she saw that the child was so rude, but when she heard the other party say "Aunt An", she was worried that the other party was some relative of An Hui, so she said, "I am the nanny of the family."

Zhenzhen remembered that her mother used to be a nanny in Aunt An's house. Isn't this woman in front of her taking her mother's place!

When she thought that her mother couldn't continue to be a nanny, she couldn't live her previous life. She was terrified and raised her voice in an instant, saying sharply: "How can you be Aunt An's nanny? I don't allow you to be Aunt An's nanny. I will let Aunt An fire you!"

"Get out of the way. I want to go in and find Aunt An!" Zhenzhen said, and directly pushed the woman away with her head and ran in. The

woman was murmuring in her heart. Did she offend the child? She was still a little reluctant to give up her current job. After all, the employer was a very good person. Although he was distant to others, he was not like some people who had bad habits and thought that hiring a nanny was the same as hiring a slave.

And it was also very easy for her to take care of one person. Thinking of this, the woman hurried to catch up to avoid the child's nonsense.

An Hui heard the noise and came out to take a look. She saw Zhen Zhen. She was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked behind Zhen Zhen. She didn't see Zhang Qiu He: "You came alone?"

Zhen Zhen nodded and looked at An Hui pitifully: "Aunt An, I know I was wrong. Zhen Zhen was ignorant before. Please forgive Zhen Zhen."

An Hui glanced at Zhen Zhen. She used to think she was so cute, but now she felt that she was full of scheming. How could a seven-year-old child understand so much?

An Hui didn't plan to say anything to a child. She took out her mobile phone and planned to call Zhang Qiu He to ask her to take the child away.

"Auntie An, wuwuwu, I really know I was wrong. Please let my parents come back to work." Zhenzhen saw that An Hui was still looking at her with indifference. She felt a little uneasy and continued crying.

The new nanny who came with her saw this scene and roughly understood that the child was not a relative's child at all. She vaguely knew that the previous nanny of the employer's family seemed to have done something... The

new nanny was also smart. She looked at An Hui's face and knew that the child had come in vain. She immediately walked over and said, "Don't cry, wait here for your mother to pick you up."

Who knew that Zhenzhen directly stretched out her hand to push her away: "Go away, you are not allowed to stay in Aunt An's house, get out!"

The new nanny was caught off guard and staggered by her push. She couldn't help frowning. This child looks quite cute, but it turns out to be like a naughty child. You can imagine what his parents are like!

An Hui looked at the new nanny apologetically: "Sister Chen, why don't you get off work today and I will deal with the matter."

Sister Chen glanced at Zhenzhen, nodded, got up and left.

Zhenzhen thought she had chased Sister Chen away, and she was immediately happy. She looked at Anhui eagerly: "Aunt An, can I let my parents come back to work here? That's great, Zhenzhen will be very good in the future!"

Anhui thought it was a little ridiculous. Before she could say anything, Zhenzhen continued: "Aunt An, can parents' wages remain the same as before? Zhenzhen will talk to them for you. They don't need to increase their wages. And... what about Zhenzhen's baby? Zhenzhen misses the baby."

"Zhenzhen is really hungry. I haven't eaten since noon. Zhenzhen wants to eat." Zhenzhen said, touching her stomach.

If it was before, Anhui would definitely be soft-hearted, but after learning about what this family did, she would be really soft-hearted.

Seeing An Hui didn't say anything, Zhen Zhen got anxious: "Aunt An, Aunt An, Zhen Zhen is so hungry, she's starving!"

An Hui still ignored her and called Zhang Qiu He directly.

At the same time, Zhang Qiu He was making a scene at school. She was tired after a day's work and came to pick up Zhen Zhen. Who knew her daughter was missing!

When she asked the teacher, the teacher said that Zhen Zhen ran away by herself. Zhang Qiu He was instantly angry: "Bullshit, my Zhen Zhen is very well behaved, how could she run away!"

The teacher also regretted it very much. If she had known it earlier, she would have run over to catch Zhen Zhen back.

At this time, Zhang Qiu He's mobile phone rang. She was in the factory before, and people didn't allow mobile phones, so her mobile phone was always turned off. She just turned it on

. She took a look and found that it was An Hui calling. After hesitating for a while, she still answered it.

I just heard An Hui say: "Come over here, Zhenzhen is with me."

Zhang Qiuhe immediately thought: Could it be that An Hui missed Zhenzhen, so she took Zhenzhen away?

Thinking of this, she was delighted. Since the other party missed Zhenzhen, she must let her and Zhenzhen's father go back to work!

Zhang Qiuhe couldn't help laughing when she thought about returning to the easy days before.

Teacher: "?"
