Wei Xiaobao also found it a little unbelievable because Grandma Qiao never stayed overnight at a stranger's house.
Qiao Jingzhen said again: "You all go, I will stay here tonight."
Wei Dabao was a little unconvinced and said with a smile: "Aunt Qiao, let's go home..."
"I've already said I'm not leaving. It's no use trying to persuade me. Guixiang, quickly prepare a place for me to stay."
When Xue Guixiang heard Qiao Jingzhen calling her, she quickly responded, "Hey, wait a minute, I'll be right there!"
Wei Dabao knew Qiao Jingzhen's temper. Once she said something, no one could change it, so he had to go and help Xue Guixiang clean the room.
There are four rooms in the newly purchased courtyard. Xue Guixiang didn't want to squeeze into the north room with her son and daughter-in-law, so she took the initiative to live in the west room. Now there is only one vacant room in the east room, which was originally for Zhou Xilai to live in, but now Qiao Jingzhen can only live there first.
The east room was frequently cleaned and easy to tidy up. Xue Guixiang folded the quilt prepared for Zhou Xilai and put it in the cabinet. She took out a new quilt and spread it out for Qiao Jingzhen. The room was clean and had a pleasant scent of cement soil.
Xue Guixiang asked a little embarrassedly: "Sister, how is Aunt Qiao's salary calculated? I will talk to my daughter-in-law later."
As Wei Dabao and Xue Guixiang stretched the sheets, he laughed and said, "How could I have forgotten about this? Aunt Qiao said when I came here that I don't need a salary, just food."
"That won't do. Aunt Qiao is already so old, how can we let her suffer in vain?"
Although Xue Guixiang is a money-grubber, she will not give less than a penny that is due. This is her bottom line.
"She really doesn't want a salary. Aunt Qiao doesn't need money. She receives a pension from the government and is an elderly widower. She has no place to spend the money you give her. Just think of her as someone who is here to relax."
"That won't work either. Aunt Qiao doesn't need the money, it's hers, and we can't let her get away with it. If she doesn't want the money, how can I have the nerve to ask her for help?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Dabao felt that Xue Guixiang was an honest person. He thought it would be great for his daughter to have such a sister-in-law in the future, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Aunt Qiao later."
After doing all this, Qiao Jingzhen kept driving Wei Dabao and his family away, as if she was the hostess here, and she and Xue Guixiang were a family, and Wei Dabao and his family were outsiders.
Wei Dabao originally wanted to talk to Xue Guixiang for a while, but Qiao Jingzhen didn't let her, so she had to take her man and daughter and leave obediently.
Before leaving, Qiao Jingzhen added, "I'm in good health. There's no need to come to the Boss for no reason!"
Wei Dabao: "..." Is she being disliked?
After the Wei family left, only Xue Guixiang and Qiao Jingzhen were left at home. Xue Guixiang saw that the old lady had her silver hair combed meticulously and was dressed neatly. She wore a small high-necked, side-opening cloth shirt with buttons neatly buttoned at the neck, navy blue trousers with leggings, and a pair of exquisite black velvet embroidered shoes on her feet. She looked like a young lady from a wealthy family in an opera.
The old lady was serious and although the years had left many fine wrinkles on her face, it still couldn't hide her former beauty. Xue Guixiang guessed that the old lady must have been a beauty in the area when she was young.
Xue Guixiang was about to tell the old lady to go and rest, but she spoke first: "I will officially start working tomorrow."
