Chapter 176: Trouble
"How much do you charge for cleaning the house?" Deng Xiuzhen asked.
"One dollar per square meter, and ten dollars more for higher floors," the woman replied.
"Will there be extra charge for floors higher than yours? Isn't it a whole package?" Deng Xiuzhen asked in detail as she wanted to do this business.
"When cleaning the room, you have to clean the windows. It's dangerous on the high floors, boss!" The woman became a little impatient after being pestered with questions for a long time.
"That's true." Deng Xiuzhen smiled awkwardly.
After finalizing the price, Deng Xiuzhen paid a deposit of five yuan.
The woman then told Deng Xiuzhen: "Just call me Xiaoying."
Then Xiaoying called her sister-in-law, a woman named Xiaomei.
Xiaomei looked younger and prettier than Xiaoying. She was wearing a business suit and high heels, and her expression was cold. When she saw Deng Xiuzhen, she just nodded slightly and went to pack up with Xiaoying.
Deng Xiuzhen was confused. What did this person do? He was dressed like a professional, so how could he do housework?
Based on the principle that one has no right to speak if he does not understand the situation, Deng Xiuzhen did not speak.
After Xiaomei and Xiaoying have packed their belongings, I will take them to rent a house.
Tan Yanlin continued to stroll around the market.
"Are you asking us to clean this place?" Xiaomei finally spoke to Deng Xiuzhen, but her tone was not only unpleasant, but also contemptuous.
"No?" Deng Xiuzhen asked back.
"You're renting this house, right? You still hire a cleaning service for a house like this? Why are you pretending to be so powerful when you don't have any money?" Xiaomei sneered.
"Can't we hire a cleaner for a rented house? Who made that rule?" Deng Xiuzhen's face turned cold.
"I can't clean a house like this!" Xiaomei said and turned away.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we are just cleaning. It has nothing to do with us whether other people's houses are good or bad..."
"You want to clean? Then go ahead. I won't do it anyway!" Xiaomei interrupted Xiaoying and left.
Seeing that Xiaomei didn't even turn her head, Xiaoying looked at the items in front of her and asked Deng Xiuzhen: "Boss, look, I'm doing this alone, can you lend a hand and I charge you less?"
Deng Xiuzhen was angry and didn't answer for a long time.
"Boss, that's not my sister-in-law. We just met at the job market. She asked me to wait at the market and find her when an employer comes.
She asked me to call her sister-in-law, saying that it would make it easier for employers to believe her and get jobs.
I am the main worker usually, and she just helps out. Don't worry, I can do it well by myself. "Xiaoying said carefully.
Deng Xiuzhen looked at Xiaoying and asked, "Why did you ask her to come along when you were the one doing the work?"
Xiaoying hesitated for a moment and answered, "I came from the countryside. I don't know how to do anything. I can't even be a waiter. Later I went to the job market to squat.
After seeing this, my sister-in-law asked me to work with her. She taught me to speak Mandarin, how to do things, how to talk to people, and also provided me with accommodation.
She taught me a lot and was very good to me, so it's only right that she does less."
Xiaoying's words made sense, but Deng Xiuzhen was a cautious person in her two lives, so she had to ask more questions.
Moreover, this can help her get more inside information and understand the market situation.
Deng Xiuzhen still looked angry and asked, "She said she didn't want to do my order, but you stayed. Aren't you afraid that she will have an opinion?"
Xiaoying lowered her head and said, "I haven't done anything for several days, and my pocket is almost empty. Although my sister-in-law has provided me with accommodation, water and electricity costs money, and food costs money, and I have to save some money to send back home.
If it weren't for my sister-in-law's help, I would have given up this job and applied for a job as a waiter or salesperson."
After hearing this, Deng Xiuzhen pretended to be reluctant and agreed.
When Xiaoying was cleaning, she didn't just lend a hand, but helped seriously.
Xiaoying felt a liking for him, let down her guard, and started talking more.
She not only told Deng Xiuzhen how to use various utensils and cleaning agents, but also where to buy them.
They also told Deng Xiuzhen that their previous employers were all rich people, some were big bosses, some were workplace elites, and their homes were luxurious!
Those people are generous and sometimes give tips.
She had never seen a case like Deng Xiuzhen's where someone was hired to clean the house.
Deng Xiuzhen smiled and said that most people would not hire someone to clean the house, especially those who rent a house.
She found that Xiaoying was actually a simple person and was very efficient in doing things.
"Boss, judging from your accent, you are not a local, right? Are you here to live long term, or for some other purpose?" Now that they were familiar with each other, Xiaoying spoke more casually.
"I moved here for my child's education, so I will have to live here for a while." Deng Xiuzhen's answer was half true and half false.
"Boss, are you a full-time babysitter, or do you plan to do something else? Do you need help?" Xiaoying asked while standing on a stool and climbing up the window pillar, wiping the glass.
"We have to do something, but we haven't decided what to do yet... be careful!" Deng Xiuzhen exclaimed and reached out to pick up Xiaoying.
It’s a pity that the distance was too far and I couldn’t catch it.
Xiaoying fell to the ground and cried out in pain.
Deng Xiuzhen thought, this is bad! I'm in trouble! If Xiaoying gets hurt, it will be terrible. If she is a scammer, then...
In a flash, Deng Xiuzhen's mind had gone through many twists and turns.
"Boss, I feel my leg is broken. Can you take me to the hospital?" Xiaoying asked pitifully with a frown.
"We must go to the hospital! Wait a minute, I'll call a taxi." No matter what I guess in my mind, I still have to go to the hospital.
Deng Xiuzhen ran out of the house and called Tan Yanlin first, briefly telling him what had happened and asking him to wait at the nearest hospital.
Just wait for them in the hospital, don't show up for the time being, and observe how the situation develops.
With both of them here, there is someone to look after if there is any problem. If Xiaoying is a scammer, there is also someone to tip off and find a solution.
Then Deng Xiuzhen hailed a taxi on the side of the road. Fortunately, the place where she rented was relatively convenient, so she quickly got a taxi.
The driver enthusiastically helped Xiaoying out with Deng Xiuzhen and sent her to the hospital.
After going to the emergency room for examination, the doctor told me that my lower leg was comminuted and fractured and required surgery.
You need to rest for three months after the operation, and the steel plate will be removed after one year.
Deng Xiuzhen didn't say anything after hearing this. She was waiting for Xiaoying's reaction and awaiting further developments.
It’s not that she was overthinking it, but there were too many such things in her previous life. Such news broke out almost every day on Video Accounts, Douyin, and the news.
In a case like this, she as the employer must bear the costs of surgery, hospitalization, loss of work, nursing fees, etc.
If you encounter powerful family members, there will be more trouble.
"Boss, I, I don't have any money. Can you advance the surgery fee for me? When I get better, I will pay you back when I make money, okay?" Xiaoying had a painful expression and spoke in a small voice.
"What did you say?" Deng Xiuzhen really didn't understand.
Xiaoying misunderstood and thought Deng Xiuzhen was unwilling. She became so anxious that her eyes turned red and tears came out.
"What are your plans?" the doctor asked.
"Let's have the surgery. Just treat it the way it should be treated. I'll pay the money right away," Deng Xiuzhen replied.
"Thank you! Thank you, boss!" Xiaoying thanked happily.
