Although Lu Yu had strong resistance in his heart and wanted to escape reluctantly, in the end, he had no choice but to embark on the journey of learning.
The reason for this is not only that this learning opportunity is too rare, but also that Aunt Zhang promised to find someone close to her to temporarily help him solve some of his worries.
The person that Aunt Zhang asked for help was her good sister, Yu Lifang, who was as close as a sister to her.
When Yu Lifang was mentioned, Aunt Zhang frowned unconsciously, as if the past that she couldn't bear to look back on was like a heavy mountain, pressing her to the point of suffocation.
It turned out that Yu Lifang's sister had suffered many misfortunes since she was a child. Fate was extremely unfair to her and she lost the love of her biological mother early on.
After she finally grew up and experienced many twists and turns in life, she finally got married to a kind and considerate man.
Even though Yu Lifang later gave birth to a daughter, the man never complained and always protected the mother and daughter with his warm arms.
However, accidents happen all the time, and misfortunes happen at any time. When the man was middle-aged, he suddenly passed away due to a flood, leaving her and her young daughter alone and helpless.
What's even more tragic is that after her husband died, she was kicked out of the house by her ruthless in-laws. At that moment, she felt like her whole world had collapsed.
But Yu Lifang did not give up. With her perseverance and strong will, she found a job that could support her livelihood.
Later, when she learned that her daughter might have to go to the countryside to work in the fields, she gave this hard-earned job to her daughter without hesitation, just to give her daughter a relatively stable living environment.
As for the daughter, after getting the job, she began to dislike her mother and soon found a man with quite good conditions and married him.
I originally thought that my daughter would be able to live a happy life from then on, but who would have thought that after marriage, because she wanted to curry favor with that man, she became more indifferent and distant to her own mother.
Later, when her daughter gave birth to a child, Yu Lifang helped her daughter take care of the child. After helping her daughter raise the child, her daughter started to dislike her for being old.
Now the old lady has lost her job and lives alone in her old house. She usually does odd jobs and sometimes picks up scraps to earn a little money to support her life. She is really pitiful.
A few days ago, the old lady was waiting for a job in the labor market and happened to meet Aunt Zhang.
With a smile on his face, he quickly stepped forward, took Aunt Zhang's hand, and begged earnestly:
"Sister, can you help me find some work? I'm still pretty strong, but I'm bored and want to find something to do."
Aunt Zhang looked at her good sister's expectant eyes, her heart softened, and she agreed without hesitation, smiling and saying:
"Oh, Sister Lifang, don't worry. I will definitely keep an eye out for you and find a suitable job for you."
But despite this, as the days passed, Aunt Zhang still couldn't find a suitable family.
At this moment, Aunt Zhang learned that the host was worried about the situation at home, and she immediately had an idea in her mind. The first person she thought of was her good sister, Yu Lifang.
After Qin Wan heard what Aunt Zhang said, a slightly moved expression appeared on his face, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he asked:
"What kind of person is Aunt Yu? Please don't cause any trouble for us."
Seeing this, Aunt Zhang patted her chest and said with a smile:
"Xiao Qin, don't worry. If she had bad character, I, Old Zhang, would never have introduced her here. Just wait and see. If she really comes, you just need to give her ten yuan. I can give her ten yuan from my salary. This way, she can have some income, and you can have an extra helper."
The reason why Aunt Zhang said this was because Lu Yu and Qin Wan always felt that their family had more work to do, and they usually paid Aunt Zhang ten yuan more than ordinary people.
Hearing this, Lu Yu waved his hand and said firmly:
"Don't bother with that. Let's try her out for a month. If she does well, we'll give her 30 yuan a month. That way, you can relax a little and not have to work so hard."
Aunt Zhang knew her employer had many children, so she would have to work harder here than at other houses. But for the price, it was worth it, even if it was a bit tiring.
So she happily agreed on behalf of Yu Lifang:
"My elder sister will definitely agree to this, so I'll accept it on her behalf."
Aunt Zhang agreed to bring Yu Lifang to Lu Yu's house with great anticipation in the morning. In the afternoon, she cleverly arranged some free time and hurriedly brought Yu Lifang over.
When Lu Yu and Qin Wan saw Yu Lifang's appearance, they couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Although her clothes were a little worn and patched, they were very neat and clean, which seemed to speak of her inner tenacity and hard work.
Looking at her speech and behavior, her proper manner shows her dignity and grace, without a trace of frivolity or casualness.
After looking at each other, the two nodded at the same time, agreeing to let Yu Lifang stay and help.
"Aunt Yu, please help us for the next few days. As for whether we will need you in the future, we can discuss it slowly later." Qin Wan said to Yu Lifang gently, with a hint of trust in his eyes.
Yu Lifang nodded quickly, her face full of gratitude:
"Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely cherish it, work hard, and never let you down."
She secretly vowed in her heart that she must gain a firm foothold in the Lu family through her own efforts.
Her best friend had already mentioned the situation of the Lu family to her before, saying that the boss looked cold and aloof, as if difficult to approach, but was actually easy to get along with. As long as you didn't have any bad intentions, the boss wouldn't care too much even if your work was a little worse.
Moreover, her good sister specifically reminded her that the work of the master's family might be more and heavier.
But what did it matter? Compared to her previous days of picking up scraps and doing odd jobs, this place was like heaven.
At this moment, Yu Lifang had already made up her mind that as long as the master was willing to use her, she would do her best to do everything wholeheartedly and prove her worth with her actual actions.
For her, finding a job that keeps her busy and allows her to settle down is the most suitable choice for her situation.
