Not long after they sat down, the aunt they hired came back carrying large and small bags.
As soon as the aunt entered the door, she kept apologizing: "I'm really sorry. I was delayed this time and stayed at home for a long time, which affected your life."
As the aunt spoke, she opened a few small bags, which were filled with local specialties she brought from the village.
The aunt herself knew that if she stayed back for too long this time, she might lose her job if she wasn't careful.
She prepared a lot of things when she came, and she was still nervous.
After all, in her impression, Wang Cuimei is a master who is not easy to mess with.
She has worked in the Shen family for more than ten years. The treatment here is very good, and the food and supplies are also very good.
She is old now. If she loses this job, it will be difficult to find another one.
Shen Changan noticed that the aunt also brought back a sack.
The sack kept rising and falling, and it was obvious that there was a living thing moving around inside.
The aunt opened the sack and two chickens immediately jumped out.
The native chicken had been kept in the sack for a long time and was already feeling very suffocated. As soon as it was released, it jumped up and down in the house.
The aunt was so scared that she immediately ran after him in a panic.
But the chicken ran too fast and my aunt couldn't catch up with it at all.
She was so anxious that her face turned pale and tears were almost in her eyes.
Seeing the native chicken jumping onto the sofa, Wang Cuimei's face changed.
The aunt was so scared that her heart was in her throat and she didn't know how to deal with the situation.
Shen Changan suddenly made a move and quickly grabbed the two chickens.
"Auntie, bring the sack over here."
"Oh, I'll go right away. I'll go right away."
The aunt came over in a daze, dragging a sack of burlap. Shen Changan quickly stuffed the bucket of chicken into the bag.
The storm passed just like that, but Wang Cuimei's face looked very bad.
The aunt lowered her head, too frightened to even breathe.
"Auntie, it's okay. You brought these things here out of kindness. It's not your fault that you didn't catch the chicken when it suddenly ran away."
Shen Changan comforted her, and some color finally appeared on her aunt's pale face.
"Xiaoxiu, you agreed to take three days off, but then you called and it became a week, and finally half a month."
"Do you know how much of an impact your absence has had on our family's life? You've changed your vacation time and time again. Have you ever thought about what we're going to do?"
As soon as Shen Changan said it was okay, Wang Cuimei immediately started to criticize Li Xiaoxiu with a sullen face.
Li Xiaoxiu knew she was in the wrong, so she lowered her head and dared not say a word.
Shen Huadong never cares about family affairs. The only person in this family who can save her is Shen Changan.
Li Xiaoxiu looked at Shen Changan with a look of help, hoping that he could say a few good words for her.
Shen Changan felt something was wrong, but he did not interrupt his mother rashly.
Thinking about it carefully, what his mother said made sense. It wouldn't be too late for him to wait for her to finish speaking and then come down to plead for mercy.
Shen Changan refused to speak, and Li Xiaoxiu lowered her head in shame.
"During the time you were on leave, we learned to take care of ourselves. We found that having an aunt at home didn't really make much of a difference..."
Before Wang Cuimei finished speaking, Li Xiaoxiu immediately became anxious.
"Madam, I've worked diligently for this family for over ten years. Regardless of whether I've contributed anything, I've certainly worked hard. This time, I really had something going on at home, so I'm taking a few extra days off."
"I know this isn't right, but my parents passed away one after another. As their only daughter, it wouldn't be right for me not to go back and observe mourning for them!"
Li Xiaoxiu was so anxious that she burst into tears. Her parents had passed away and all the houses in her hometown were occupied by her older brother and younger brother.
She got married when she was young, but due to health reasons she was unable to have children and eventually had to divorce.
Because of her parents' illness, she had spent all her savings and was now penniless.
If she leaves this home, not to mention whether she can find a job, she won't even have a place to live and her life will not be guaranteed. What's the point of living?
Li Xiaoxiu cried miserably, and Shen Changan frowned slightly, always feeling that his mother's arrangement was inappropriate.
Shen Changan endured it again and again. He hoped that his mother would give a reasonable explanation, and he hoped that his mother would keep Li Xiaoxiu.
However, the mother did not say anything. Given her temper, she might really kick Li Xiaoxiu out of the house this time.
Although Li Xiaoxiu is a little old, she is kind-hearted and does her job conscientiously. She has been with them for so many years and can be considered an aunt who knows them well.
"I didn't say I was going to fire you. I just thought that since we're both young, we can live well without Auntie taking care of us."
Wang Cuimei explained, but this made Li Xiaoxiu even more confused.
This clearly means that she is to be fired, so why is the wife still refusing to admit it?
Is he pretending to be ignorant even though he knows the truth, hoping that she will leave on her own?
"Madam, I will work hard in the future. Please don't let me go, okay?"
Li Xiaoxiu shamelessly begged for mercy, but Wang Cuimei still shook her head firmly.
"But the family really doesn't need anyone to take care of it, and I'm used to living without my aunt."
Li Xiaoxiu stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Shen Changan now completely understood that his mother was going to drive Li Xiaoxiu away.
He thought about Jiang Li having to take care of two children every day, and she couldn't handle making snacks by herself, so she often had to ask others for help.
Right now, the few people in the family have to take care of the children and run their careers at the same time, which is far from enough.
If his mother really doesn't want Li Xiaoxiu anymore, why not invite her back to help Jiang Li?
This would not only solve Li Xiaoxiu's dilemma, but also fulfill her mother's wishes, killing two birds with one stone.
"Madam, I really can endure hardship, and now I have nowhere to go. Considering that I have worked at home for so many years, please have pity on me and let me stay to continue taking care of you?"
"Auntie, you are not needed here, but my family does. I wonder if you would like to go to my house to help?"
Shen Changan invited sincerely, Li Xiaoxiu had been away from home for so long that she didn’t even know what had happened.
In her opinion, isn’t Shen Changan’s home here?
If the wife doesn't want her, what's the point of Shen Changan keeping her?
Although she was very touched, she didn't want to make things difficult for Shen Changan.
Li Xiaoxiu wiped away her tears and suddenly made up her mind.
"Madam, let me stay here for a few days to get by. Once I find a new job, I'll move out right away!"
Li Xiaoxiu's eyes were red, but her expression was serious.
Wang Cuimei smiled, took her hand, and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"When did I tell you to leave? Didn't you hear what my son said just now? He has moved out and now he wants your help. Are you willing to go?"
