"Miss, it's really you."
Aunt Li reacted and a smile finally appeared on her gloomy face.
Lu Anning smiled gently: "It's so late, you just came back?"
Aunt Li replied awkwardly, "There's nothing I can do. I have to make a living. Why are you here?"
"I came to see you. My eldest brother told me everything about you."
Aunt Li was stunned and immediately explained, "Miss, I really didn't do it. I don't know why the high-quality bird's nest I bought turned out to be fake. I have worked in the Gu family for so many years, how could I ruin my own job."
Aunt Li became more and more excited as she spoke, and suddenly burst into tears.
She has a son who is in college to support, and if she loses her job, she doesn't know how she will live in the future.
She'd been out and about all day, but no employer wanted to hire her. Either they were dissatisfied with her age, or, having heard why she was fired, they simply refused to hire her.
Lu An Ning knew that he had implicated Aunt Li and hurried to comfort her.
"Aunt Li, don't cry yet! We'll slowly figure it out. I believe you're not that kind of person."
"Miss, I..."
"Let's go somewhere else and talk slowly. You haven't eaten yet, right? How about having dinner with me?"
"this……"
"Let's go!"
Lu Anning did not dislike Aunt Li. He took her to a nearby good beef hotpot restaurant. In such cold weather, eating hotpot was just right and she would not seem restrained.
Aunt Li had been hungry all day and couldn't resist the aroma of the food. Seeing Lu An Ning pick up his chopsticks, she started eating too.
However, she didn't dare eat meat and only ate vegetables. It was Lu An Ning who picked up some meat for her, and Aunt Li was flattered and ate it in small bites. Seeing this, Lu An Ning ordered two more servings.
She was a little puzzled to see that Aunt Li was living in poverty.
"The Gu family's salary is not low, Aunt Li, even if you want to support your child's education, it shouldn't be that..."
Aunt Li sighed. "I always want to save more money for my son. My son is sensible and does very well in school. But it was his unpromising gambling father who left a large debt to us mother and son before he died. It wasn't until a few years ago that I paid it off."
Her tone was calm, but Lu Anning could sense how difficult it had been for Aunt Li over the years.
If she hadn't asked Aunt Li about the Gu family's past, Aunt Li wouldn't have lost her job.
"Aunt Li, if you don't mind, how about coming to Bixiwan to work? You and Aunt Wang will be responsible for the daily life of the family. You can also live at home during normal times."
Lu An Ning felt guilty and could only think of this way to make it up to Aunt Li.
When Aunt Li heard this, she immediately put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Lu An Ning in astonishment: "Miss, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course! The work at Bixiwan isn't that tiring, and it's better than looking for another job. If you're willing, come and start work tomorrow. The salary will remain the same."
Aunt Li was moved and started crying when she looked at Lu An Ning.
"Miss, you really are... you are such a good person! You are not afraid of me when it comes to the Gu family's affairs..."
"Auntie Wang is usually in charge of the family. Just listen to her when you get there. She's a nice person, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Throughout the meal, Aunt Li said "thank you" countless times. After the meal, Lu An Ning personally sent her back to the community before leaving with peace of mind.
After returning home, Lu Anning told Tang Jingyuan about this matter immediately.
"Usually, only Aunt Wang is in charge of the family. I thought it wouldn't matter if there was one more person. After all, she was implicated by me. I asked her to come home tomorrow."
Tang Jingyuan was shocked: "You already said it?"
"Is there something wrong?"
Tang Jingyuan shook his head: "It's okay. When you hired Aunt Li, did you check her family situation?"
"She has been in the Gu family for so many years. If she had any problems, she would have been fired long ago."
After saying this, Lu An Ning realized that he had taken things for granted. But the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't suddenly regret it.
"How about checking it out? I can't arrange for her to be assigned to another place. She was fired by the Gu family. My dad probably spread the news. She can't find a job to support herself and her son. This is the truth."
Only then did Lu Anning realize that he had made this decision impulsively.
"It doesn't matter. Let her come first. Isn't there Aunt Wang at home?"
Tang Jingyuan just felt that after working in the Gu family for so many years, he must have gained Gu Zhiwei's trust, so it would never be a wrong thing to be more careful.
The next day, Aunt Li came over very early. Aunt Wang received a call from the security guard at the gate of the community and confirmed with Lu Anning again before going to the gate to pick up the person.
The two people who were still eating breakfast looked at each other without saying anything.
Soon, Aunt Wang led Aunt Li in, along with a suitcase. It looked like Aunt Li had already decided to stay.
Lu Anning smiled slightly, stood up and walked towards the living room, with Tang Jingyuan following closely behind.
In the living room, Aunt Li stood politely with Aunt Wang, not looking away. When she saw Lu Anning and Tang Jingyuan, she immediately greeted them respectfully.
Tang Jingyuan had met Aunt Li before and had no opinion of her.
The two of them routinely told Aunt Li the rules in Bixi Bay, and she wrote them down one by one. When she learned that she only needed to be responsible for some simple work in the kitchen and garden, Aunt Li raised an objection.
"Third Master, I feel bad that you pay me so much and I only do this little. I can share the other work with Aunt Wang."
"No need. Upstairs is my wife and I's private area, and we don't like others to mess around. If I need anything in the future, I'll naturally tell you. Here, you just need to obey the arrangements."
Seeing this, Aunt Li said nothing more.
Just as she was about to go to Wang Ma's room with her, Tang Jingyuan suddenly called her.
"Aunt Li, you've been in the Gu family for so many years, and now you're suddenly accused of embezzling money. Didn't my father-in-law think of helping you investigate thoroughly?"
