"Xiao Cheng, your wife brought you lunch today. People who are married are so lucky!" The company partner sat down opposite Xiao Cheng. Both of them were second-generation rich kids and classmates from their time studying abroad. So they started this company after returning home. Xiao Cheng usually handles company affairs, while his partner goes out to develop business.
"It smells so good!" The partner sniffed the air. Besides being business partners, the two were also good buddies, and they immediately started eating without any hesitation.
"Hey, didn't you already eat?" Xiao Cheng looked at him helplessly, then took out another pair of disposable chopsticks.
"We were eating when Mr. Wang called. By the time he finished, the food was cold." The partner picked up a piece of meat and immediately widened his eyes. "I didn't know, Xiao Cheng, your wife has such a skill."
“It wasn’t Xiaoru who did it. She’s pregnant now, how could I let her do it herself? This is the new housekeeper we hired.”
"Are all the housekeepers from domestic service companies this good at cooking now? Which company hired them? I want to hire one too."
"It was introduced by an acquaintance, and I'm only staying for two months."
"Why did the auntie who cooks so well only work for two months?" the partner asked between bites, his cheeks stuffed full. Luckily, Xia Ru had packed a lot of food for them today, otherwise it wouldn't have been enough for the two of them.
Xiao Cheng took a sip of soup and explained, "You know I've never liked having too many people at home. This time it's just because Xiaoru is pregnant. Once my mother-in-law comes, we won't need any more people."
The partner's eyes lit up: "That's perfect. Introduce the aunt to me. I live alone, so I have less to do than you, and the pay will remain the same."
"Are you serious?"
The other person took another sip of the soup that Xiao Cheng had drunk from without any disgust: "Seriously, you know, I don't usually pay much attention to my three meals a day when I'm alone. I even had gastroenteritis last time. Having an aunt who cooks well will help me to eat more regularly."
"I can ask for you, but I don't know if your aunt will agree."
Xiao Cheng relayed the message, but Song Xia regretfully declined: "Mr. Xiao, please convey my apologies. After finishing with your house, I plan to start my own small business."
Xia Ru added from the side, "Sister Song is going to open a restaurant in the future. If Liang Zheng wants to eat, he can just go to Sister Song's restaurant to eat."
"That's all we can do." Xiao Cheng smiled. "Sister Song, when your restaurant opens, you must let us know. Just ask that kid of yours; he has a lot of connections. We'll invite a few more people to support you."
"That's fine, as long as you all like my cooking."
Song Xia was originally thinking about how to attract target customers when she opened her shop in the future. She didn't expect that working as a nanny for two months would not only solve her temporary living difficulties, but also bring her a channel to meet customers. It was a pleasant surprise.
Xiao Cheng and Xia Ru are both highly educated young people who love to work, so her daily routine consists of three meals a day, occasionally giving Xia Ru a late-night snack, and doing a simple cleaning of the house. It's very easy for her, who is quick and efficient.
Meanwhile, Sun Xiurong's life wasn't so easy. She first received a lawyer's letter from Song Xia's lawyer. After her daughter and son-in-law left in a huff after not getting the money, she not only had no one to talk to, but also had to serve Qin Jiawei, that living ancestor.
Qin Jiawei is at the age of rebellion, especially since he was spoiled in the past. Now that he knows his father left him such a large sum of money, he keeps pestering Sun Xiurong for more.
Each time, Sun Xiurong initially refused to give it to Qin Jiawei, but after Qin Jiawei's persistent nagging and fussing, she eventually gave in. At the end of the month, when she tallied up the accounts, she found that Qin Jiawei had taken several thousand yuan from her in just half a month.
Sun Xiurong couldn't help but feel distressed. If things continued like this, how many more times could that money withstand such extravagance?
"If you're eating by yourself, then eat by yourself. Why are you paying for other people's food?" she couldn't help but lecture her grandson. "Why should you pay for the skewers they ordered?"
Qin Jiawei said nonchalantly, "It was my promise to treat them to this meal, and it only cost a few dozen yuan. Grandma, you can't let me lose face, can you?"
"You're so young, what are you trying to prove? You always treat me, why don't you ever get to treat others?"
"So, was I just being the eldest son for nothing?" Qin Jiawei easily broke free from his grandmother's clutches. "Alright, Grandma, my dad left us so much money, what's a few dozen yuan?"
"Ten yuan today, hundreds tomorrow, how can you afford to spend like this?" Sun Xiurong gasped for breath. "Starting tomorrow, you'd better come home for dinner."
"I don't want it, it doesn't taste good."
"You brat, what's wrong with Grandma's cooking?"
"It just doesn't taste good, and you're not hygienic either; there was hair in yesterday's food."
“You even dislike milk.” Sun Xiurong glared at her. “Milk, you need to be more careful from now on. You’re not allowed to eat out anymore. Look at you, you’ve gotten fatter again.”
"Didn't you say you'd like to gain some weight?" Qin Jiawei retorted, unconvinced.
“That didn’t make you this fat,” Sun Xiurong said worriedly. “It’s mainly because the oil used outside is unhealthy. If you want to eat those kebabs, Grandma can learn to make them in the future. If all else fails… Grandma will go and ask that woman how she makes the dishes.”
Qin Jiawei's feelings were complicated at this moment. Although he had been enjoying eating out these past few days, he really missed the food that woman cooked. Also, his grandmother's clothes and shoes were not clean at all, and he had been ridiculed by others for the past few days.
"Grandma, I want to buy new shoes."
"Why do you need to buy shoes again? Don't you already have more than a dozen pairs in your shoe cabinet? Besides, you're still growing, and buying too many shoes won't last long. It's such a waste."
"I don't care, I'm going to buy it. Everyone's buying the new models."
Sun Xiurong replied dismissively, "When you can't wear these anymore, Grandma will buy you the newest and latest styles."
Qin Jiawei was also stubborn: "I want it now. Everyone knows I don't have a father. If I don't even have a pair of shoes, they will laugh at me even more."
"Who dares to laugh at you!" Sun Xiurong rolled up her sleeves. "Is it Zhou Fengmei's granddaughter who's been gossiping about you at school?"
"Grandma, just tell me if you're going to buy it or not. If you don't, I won't go to school."
"You child, how can you not go to school? How old are you? How can you threaten your grandmother like this?" Sun Xiurong was furious, but she didn't think about how she had taught Qin Jiawei to say that when Song Xia said she would buy him clothes and shoes later. She had even sided with Song Xia, saying that if she didn't buy them, she would be a sinner, a vicious stepmother that everyone would curse. She never thought that this retribution would come on to her so quickly.
"Milk……"
"Okay, okay, Grandma will buy it for you, but you must be good." Sun Xiurong touched her pocket, looking distressed. She had only withdrawn 10,000 yuan, and it was gone. How could it be gone so quickly? How did Song Xia manage with his previous salary of 4,500 yuan? Could it be that her son had other income that she didn't know about?
You little bitch, you actually dared to sue me! I'll show you what's what.
