Wu Xiuli knew that in rural areas, many girls did not have the opportunity to go to school. Although literate rural women were not rare, they were one in a hundred.
"Sister, please write down your address for me! Although I, Wang Yujie, have not received much education, I also know that I have to pay back the money I borrowed. If you really don't want to, then I don't want the money." After Wang Biyun casually used the name of Lao Hu's country cousin for her own use, although she felt sorry for the two cents she had received, she still firmly stuffed the money back into Wu Xiuli's hands.
Looking at Wang Biyun's solitary figure, Wu Xiuli felt a little sorry. Look! What a noble character this rural person has! Compared to Zhao Qingshan's family, who eat and drink for free and treat themselves as if they were outsiders, they are completely different from the rural people.
"Big sister, come back." Wu Xiuli called out. Seeing Wang Biyun's pitiful appearance, an idea flashed through Wu Xiuli's mind.
"Sister, you called me?" Wang Biyun really regretted that the two cents she had just earned were gone in the blink of an eye. When she heard Wu Xiuli's call, she hurried back.
"Sister, are you going out alone? Where are you going? Are you in trouble?" Wu Xiuli took out two steamed buns from her bag and stuffed them into Wang Biyun's hands, chatting with her about family matters.
The steamed buns were made from dough Wu Xiuli had made last night and were freshly steamed this morning. They were soft and fluffy, emitting an enticing aroma. Wu Xiuli had originally made these buns for Wen Yiran and the others for breakfast. Before leaving home this morning, seeing Wen Yiran's indifference, Wu Xiuli got angry and took the remaining ten or so buns from the kitchen with her, intending to share them with her family on the way, rather than leaving them at home to please that stubborn old man.
"Thank you, sister." Seeing that there were steamed buns to eat, Wang Biyun quickly ate one in two or three bites, took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket, wrapped the other steamed bun, and carefully put it in her arms.
After putting the steamed buns in her pocket, Wang Biyun took the two large bags from Wu Xiuli and said, "Thank you, sister. Let me take you to the train! I'm strong and can do any rough work."
Seeing that Wang Biyun was eager to help, Wu Xiuli let Wang Biyun "grab" the two bags. To be honest, the two bags were not light, and Wu Xiuli's hands were almost numb from the whole journey.
Wang Biyun was carrying two large bags, and they felt heavy. However, she was used to doing farm work, so it was not as strenuous as Wu Xiuli. When Wang Biyun walked, she deliberately lagged half a body behind Wu Xiuli, mumbling: "My name is Wang Yujie, from Datian Village. My husband passed away years ago, and my mother-in-law kicked me out. I planned to find a job to support myself, so I came to the city. I didn't expect to find a job, but I lost my wallet..."
Wang Biyun wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, her face filled with sadness.
There was indeed a person named Wang Yujie in Datian Village. She was Lao Hu's distant cousin. Wang Biyun had heard Lao Hu mention her once, so she easily applied Wang Yujie's life experience to her own.
Oh my! This girl is so miserable! How pitiful! Wu Xiuli thought.
"Big sister, looking at your demeanor, I know you are an intellectual or a senior official. You must be very busy with work. Do you need a nanny? I just want food to eat, no wages required." Wang Biyun saw that there was a chance, and quickly persuaded Wu Xiuli with sweet words. As long as Wu Xiuli agreed to take her away, it would be fine if she didn't ask for wages. At most, we can think about it after we get to the countryside! Wang Biyun thought.
Hearing Wang Biyun complimenting her like a big official, Wu Xiuli was stunned. She remembered that she had not been to work for many years and was busy with housework at home every day. It seemed that she had done something wrong?
Just like this time back in Qingshan City, she, the eldest daughter-in-law who usually stays at home around the stove, was busy doing the nanny's work, cooking and cleaning every day, which did not please the two elders at all. On the contrary, Wang Qiuyan, the working sister-in-law, did not do any housework, but came to sit at home in her free time and chat with her mother-in-law who slept in bed. Wen Yiran and his wife thought Wang Qiuyan was very filial. Isn't it all because she doesn't work that Wang Qiuyan is inferior to her parents-in-law?
No! After returning to City N this time, she also had to go back to work. Before the Chinese New Year, she ran into Nurse Huang from the PLA Hospital on the street. She said that the hospital was short of medical staff recently and specially invited her to go back to work!
The more Wu Xiuli thought about this, the more she felt that her idea of going to work was a brilliant one. Her two children were older now, having started elementary school last September, and Wu Xiuli had a lot more free time at home. After she started working, her status would be the same as Wang Qiuyan's. Next time she returned to Qingshan City, she wouldn't have to endure such a thankless task like this time!
Wu Xiuli had selectively forgotten that her return to Qingshan City to help with household chores was caused by her own fault. If Wu Xiuli and her daughter hadn't bullied the domestic worker, Aunt Wang, she wouldn't have left the Wen family in such a rage. So, all this was Wu Xiuli's own fault, and had nothing to do with Wang Qiuyan.
Wu Xiuli figured she had to go to work anyway, so it would be best to hire a nanny to help with the housework. It was rare that Wang Yujie was so appealing to her, so she might as well take her back to City N. Besides, Wang Biyun's "no wages" statement also made Wu Xiuli a little tempted.
"Sister, my home is in the faraway city of N. Are you sure you will go?" After Wu Xiuli made up her mind, her voice became much gentler.
N City? That's a city even bigger than Qingshan City! Wang Biyun had been in Qingshan City for over half a month and had heard of N City a few times. Otherwise, she wouldn't even know where N City was!
"Sister, I'm willing. It's my blessing to meet a noble person like you!" Wang Biyun is very good at speaking. After a few words, Wu Xiuli felt elated and felt that her image had become much more noble.
Wu Xiuli felt that today was a good day. She casually showed kindness and found a nanny for her family who didn't want to be paid. The most important thing was that Wang Biyun was homeless. How could such a nanny work in her house for a long time?
After making up her mind, Wu Xiuli went to the ticket office and bought a train ticket to City N for Wang Biyun. As for the tickets for their family of four, Wen Yulong had already called an acquaintance at the train station last night and had them purchased early this morning. It was the Spring Festival holiday, so any tickets bought at the ticket window required standing room only. Wen Yulong had just walked ahead, having gone to pick up his tickets from an acquaintance.
After Wen Yulong came back with the ticket, he found that there was a young woman next to his wife, and he couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
Wang Biyun smiled ingratiatingly at Wen Yulong, then stood aside with her head down and said nothing.
