The next day, Bai's mother went to work as usual, carrying a bag of fresh tangerines. However, after giving the tangerines to the little girl from the day before, she was told that she no longer needed to go to work.
"Why?" Mrs. Bai panicked, thinking it was because of the cardboard she sold yesterday. She quickly explained to the building's HR manager, "The cardboard yesterday was given to me by that young lady from that company, and I didn't neglect my work. If I violated the rules, you can deduct my performance bonus. I promise I won't do it again next time."
The HR person looked at her sympathetically: "Sister, it's not because of that. It's a special instruction from above. Think about it, have you offended anyone recently?"
"I didn't!" Mrs. Bai's face turned pale. If she lost this job, how would she support her daughter? How could a cleaning lady like her have offended any important figures?
"I'm sorry, it's not up to me to decide whether to fire you. Go to the finance department to collect your wages and then leave."
Is there no room for maneuver?
The HR person shook their head: "We're just following orders."
Even after leaving the building, Mrs. Bai still didn't know why. She thought back on everything that had happened recently, but still couldn't recall anything amiss. Who would make things difficult for a mere cleaner like herself?
There's no point in thinking about it too much. The most important thing now is to find another job. Although the financial department just gave us compensation, how long can that support me and my daughter?
But a few days later she discovered that someone was deliberately targeting her. She applied for three or four jobs in a row, and was told to start work the next day. However, when she arrived the next day, they said they didn't need her anymore. If it happened once or twice, she could understand, but what about three or four times?
Soon Song Xia learned of this, and she became even more contemptuous of Xiao Mo. Perhaps it was just a matter of giving an order, but he didn't realize that he was destroying a family. And just because the woman you like had a conflict with a former friend, you want to cut off the mother and daughter's path to survival? Is this the behavior of a normal person?
What did Bai Xinyi do to wrong Su Ge? Just because Bai Xinyi felt that Su Ge was affecting her studies and didn't want to be friends with Su Ge anymore, you want to take revenge on her?
Taking advantage of the fact that she had nothing to do today, Song Xia took a car and went out. Others might not dare to use it, but she dared to use it.
After being rejected by the beauty salon owner once again, Bai's mother appeared at the door and casually asked, "Auntie, are you looking for a job?"
"Yes, miss, do you need someone to work for you? Cleaning, nursing, cooking, anything is fine with me." Bai's mother had been rejected so many times these past few days that she was a little scared, so when Song Xia asked her this, she hurriedly tried to sell herself.
Even though it was already so difficult, she still brought up the matter that might offend someone: "But miss, I don't know if I've offended anyone recently. Every time I'm hired, I'm told that I'm no longer needed. Maybe someone is targeting me. Hiring me might cause you trouble."
“I’m not afraid of trouble, and I hate people who use their power and money to bully hardworking ordinary people. Sister, just call me Xiao Song. I happen to need someone. You said you can do nursing, so can you go to the hospital to take care of my mother? It might take a long time to accompany her every day, but my mother can take care of herself. You just need to accompany her to change her dressings and take walks, and then wash some of her underwear.”
“Okay.” Mrs. Bai hadn’t had much hope, but after hearing what Song Xia said, she nodded quickly. “Ms. Song, thank you for giving me this job. Thank you for trusting me.”
"It's because you're so sincere that I feel at ease. I've already hired two caregivers for my mom, and they were fine at first, but then they started to become perfunctory. I'm really worried about not being able to find a good caregiver!"
"Ms. Song, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your mother. Also, because my husband was hospitalized for several years before, I have a lot of experience in taking care of her. You can check on her at any time."
Song Xia smiled and raised her eyebrows: "I'm free right now, so how about we go to the hospital now? Let's start working from today?"
"Okay, okay, but today is already halfway over. Let's start counting from tomorrow. No, you can try working for three days. If you and your mother don't like it, I won't take the wages for those three days."
"How can that be? It's not like I'm short of money. How can I treat someone as hardworking as you unfairly?"
Actually, Song Xia had wanted to change her mother's caregiver for a long time, and things were exactly as she had described. The previous two caregivers were very busy when she visited her mother, making her seem very diligent, but as soon as she left, they started to slack off.
My mother is a soft-hearted person who doesn't like to tattle. She feels that she can do things herself and does many things on her own. If the nurse hadn't tattled on her, she would still be in the dark.
The previous nurse had already resigned two days ago, so Bai Xinyi's mother was able to take over. Given her appreciation for Bai Xinyi, she felt that Bai's mother's personality was probably not bad either, and perhaps this time Xiao Mo would actually be doing her a big favor indirectly.
"This is it." Song Xia pushed open the door to the VIP private ward, first introducing the two women, and then explaining the job duties. "My mother is usually fine after she falls asleep each day. The nurses' station monitors her at night, so you can leave after helping her with her washing up each day. As for the mornings, it's best to arrive before eight o'clock. I know the working hours are a bit long, but after lunch each day, you can sleep for two or three hours in the small bedroom here. Of course, you can sleep here all night if you want. Meals will be delivered at fixed times. Sister Bai, what do you think?"
Bai Xinyi's father was an orphan, and although her mother's side of the family was distant, they still had a connection. So when Bai Xinyi was born, her father insisted on giving her the same surname as her mother. After they got to know each other, Song Xia called her Sister Bai.
“No problem.” Mrs. Bai was very happy. Although the working hours were longer than when she was a cleaner, the workload was not much. The older sister who needed her care seemed to be a very kind person. What could she possibly be dissatisfied with?
"As for the salary, the nurse I hired before paid 20,000. For you, the first month you will be paid 16,000, and after one month, if there are no other problems, it will also increase to 20,000."
Mrs. Bai's mouth dropped open: "So many?"
Then he waved his hands repeatedly: "No need for so much, the work isn't that hard."
Song Xia chuckled: "Yes, I will. The work is not much, but it is very varied and the time frame is very long. Twenty thousand is the market price in City A. You don't need to feel like you're getting a bargain. Besides, you only have four days off per month. If you really want to calculate, I'm the one who's making a profit."
Mrs. Bai's eyes reddened, and then she bowed solemnly to Song Xia: "Ms. Song, thank you for giving me this job. I will definitely take good care of your mother."
She thought she had truly met a good person; Miss Song was beautiful and kind-hearted, and deserved to be so rich.
Twenty thousand yuan a month! That will give Xinyi a better life in the future.
