Chapter 736 Aunt Wang’s Cleverness
Aunt Wang smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, her tone filled with pride. "Yeah, I didn't expect her to pass the exam. She's been very sensible since she was a child and studies very hard. She said she wanted to be a police officer so that she could protect people like me and stop being bullied by men."
It suddenly occurred to me that Aunt Wang’s daughter was in T City, so why had she never come to visit her at home?
So I asked casually, "Then why didn't your daughter come to see you when she came to T City to study?"
Aunt Wang said honestly: "I am just a nanny. It is not appropriate for me to bring the child here. But I sometimes go to the school to see her. She has been working for almost three years now and is usually very busy. It is enough to know that she is doing well. It is not necessary for us to live together, right?
"When I save enough money, I'll buy a small house in T City to live in during my retirement. I can stay with my daughter there, and my life will be complete." Aunt Wang said with a look of longing.
"What about your man? What happened when he showed up last time?" Aunt Wang is good in every way, except that she tends to go off topic sometimes. If I don't pull her back to the topic, she will start talking to me excitedly about her daughter finding a partner and having children.
When mentioning her husband, Aunt Wang's face fell. "Well, after sending Mrs. Huang away, I didn't know what to do next. Everyone in the community knew how well I took care of the old lady. A family came to me right away and asked me to go take care of the elderly in their home. It was also an old lady who lived alone and I had spoken to her in the community before.
The old lady wasn't paralyzed, but she was old and had trouble taking care of herself. She even needed help bathing. Her pension was quite high, so she didn't need any help from her children. She gave me a salary of 3,000 yuan, which made it easier for me to support my daughter's college education.
Aunt Wang was introduced to my house after she had sent off the second old lady.
"Working in your house, I feel like I've landed in a blessed nest. I've never lived in such a nice house, with good food and shelter, and your mother gives me a lot of money."
I couldn't help but laugh. Although Aunt Wang has been in T City for many years, her simple and honest nature has not changed.
Aunt Wang sighed as she spoke. The good times didn't last long. One time, she went out to buy groceries, and when she came back, she met a man from the town who knew her husband at the gate of the community.
The man was a courier in T City. When he saw Aunt Wang entering the villa complex in clean and decent clothes, he tentatively called out her man's name. Aunt Wang subconsciously turned around and felt something was wrong when she saw the man, but it was too late.
Aunt Wang was still annoyed when she talked about it now. "That person didn't know my name in the first place. My husband's name is Zhang Daqiang. When I was in my hometown, everyone called me Daqiang's wife. Only in the village would people call me by my name."
I realized that I had called Aunt Wang for so many years, but I didn’t even know her name. “Aunt Wang, come to think of it, I still don’t know your full name.”
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I came from the mountains, and my parents couldn't come up with a decent name. Like many girls in the village, I'm called Wang Zhaodi, the "di" in "brother".
Other families usually add a female character to their names, but my dad said that if it is added, it means it is half female. What if the Goddess of Fertility doesn't look carefully and gives the wrong child?
Well, her parents were really thoughtful, even considering the possibility of the Goddess of Fertility getting dizzy.
It is not uncommon for rural girls to be called "Di". For example, my cousin is called "Jun Di", which slightly conceals my uncle's little thoughts.
Aunt Wang's name is much more direct than my cousin's. They are really worried that the Goddess of Fertility will not understand their true intentions.
"When that person recognized me, he asked me if I had found a rich man and lived in a villa after I got out. I told him I was a nanny, but he didn't believe me, saying how could a nanny dress so well.
Seeing that I was always reluctant to buy clothes, your mother gave me some old clothes that she didn't wear anymore. She said they were old clothes, but they looked still new and didn't have any patches on them.
I usually don’t wear it at home, I only put it on when I go out to buy groceries, but who would have thought that person would see it.”
Later, of course, that person told Aunt Wang's ex-husband that Aunt Wang had hooked up with a rich man in T City, and that was why she didn't want him anymore and cheated on him.
Her ex-husband was furious and came to the house not long after, but the community security guard did not let him in.
Although that person was very domineering at home, he was very timid outside, especially in big cities, where he didn't dare to confront anyone.
So he waited at the gate of the community for several days and finally waited for Aunt Wang.
"He blocked me at the door with his child that day, saying I had abandoned my husband and children and was unfaithful to my wife, and he insisted that I go back with him.
I refused, so he started beating me. The security guard stopped him and threatened to call the police, which immediately backed him down. But he threatened me with my child. My son was still young at the time, and I really couldn't bear to do that. Aunt Wang sighed again. "How many mothers can be so hard-hearted when they see their children, even if they're not close to them?"
So, Aunt Wang had no choice but to tell her ex-husband that she was working as a nanny for a rich man, receiving a monthly salary, and could not go back.
Her ex-husband said that since she didn't want to go back to her hometown, he and his son had to stay, and the money she earned had to be given to him.
"Fortunately, I was careful at that time and didn't tell him the truth. I told him that I only earned three thousand a month and hid half of it." Aunt Wang showed a shrewd look, but she didn't quite understand the situation.
"I told him I only make 3,000 yuan a month, keeping 1,000 for myself and giving him and his father 2,000 yuan. This is already higher than his salary in his hometown. At first he wanted 2,500 yuan, so I said I would just quit my job and let him go back to his hometown to earn more than 1,000 yuan a month to support the whole family.
He later thought about it and agreed.”
Aunt Wang spent three hundred yuan to rent a small room for the father and son in the urban village, and found a nearby school for the child to continue attending. Finally, they have lived in peace and tranquility over the years.
"I opened two bank cards. I told him one card was my salary card, but in fact I deposit 3,000 yuan into it every month and then withdraw 2,000 yuan in cash. The other card is used for saving money. All the money I saved over the years is in it." Aunt Wang was once again very proud of her little calculation.
I asked, "Is that the card you left with me?"
"Yes, that's the one. I feel safe leaving it with you. You're a good child. Just keep it for me. I'll ask you for money when I need it."
"No, no, no. I'm not at home most of the time, so it's not convenient for you to use the money. I'll go back to your room and get the card back later." Seeing that I insisted, Aunt Wang didn't say anything more.
"Originally, he had no objection to me being your nanny, but this year someone approached him and offered him 100,000 yuan to find a way to get me out of your house. I asked him who it was, but he wouldn't tell me. He just said I could be your nanny for anyone else as long as I wasn't yours."
