Chapter 379: Are you trying to torture her to death?
As expected, Mingzhu looked at the old man and continued, "Grandpa, for the sake of Jiang Duo and me, please give my aunt a chance and let her perform well. If you really don't trust her, then... you can try her today."
The old man frowned in confusion: "Try?"
"Yes, since my aunt said she would change, she will definitely not be as idle as before during the time she lives here. The so-called care means taking care of the family's food, daily life, housework and hygiene."
She raised her wrist and looked at the time: "It's just right, at this time, my aunt can clean the house first."
The aunt was stunned for a moment: "Don't we have an aunt at home..."
"Auntie's purpose here is the same as that of the eldest aunt, to take care of grandpa and this family. Of course, the eldest aunt has to do what the aunt should do. Or do you not want to clean the house? Do you just want to live here first, and then find an opportunity to bring your children back to live with you?" "
Of course not!"
The old man snorted, "If you don't, then do it. For Zhuzhu's sake, I will give you this trial opportunity."
The eldest aunt thought for a while. The old man had spoken. If she didn't do it, wouldn't it prove that she really had a purpose?
She suppressed her dissatisfaction and stood up to look at Aunt Zhang, asking where the cleaning tools were.
Aunt Zhang immediately took her to the tool room outside.
Fang Shuyu felt that she was the sister-in-law after all, and she couldn't sit still watching her sister-in-law working while she did nothing.
She hesitated for a moment, stood up and tried to show her respect, but heard Mingzhu speak leisurely: "Ms. Fang, don't you have something to do this afternoon? Go ahead and do your work, I'm here to accompany grandpa."
Fang Shuyu heard that she had better leave quickly, otherwise it would be awkward to sit here: "Yes, yes, yes, I have something to take care of, so you stay with grandpa, and if there is anything, let the guard notify me."
"Okay."
Fang Shuyu said hello to her grandfather and Jiang Shoucheng, and left in a hurry.
Mingzhu looked at Jiang Duo: "You should go to the unit as well. I only asked for two hours of leave. Don't be late."
Jiang Duo leaned close to Mingzhu's ear and lowered his voice: "Can you do it yourself?"
Mingzhu laughed softly: "My fighting power is off the charts."
After she finished speaking, she winked at him and glanced at her uncle.
Jiang Duo knew that there were guards at the door of the grandfather's house, and Mingzhu couldn't do anything to his aunt, so he was relieved.
He stood up and looked at Jiang Shoucheng: "Uncle, since my aunt is going to stay here to take care of my grandfather, you can come with me. On the way to the unit, I have some work matters to discuss with you."
Jiang Shoucheng did not hesitate, and stood up directly as if relieved. After saying something to the grandfather, he went out with Jiang Duo.
Now only the grandfather and the aunt were left at home.
Mingzhu heard from Jiang Duo that her grandfather also loved playing Go, so she asked him if he was tired. If not, she could play Go with him.
The old man enthusiastically asked Aunt Zhang to find a Go board. Mingzhu couldn't bend down with her big belly, so the two of them went to play Go at the table in the restaurant.
Mingzhu gave Aunt Zhang five yuan and asked her to buy dinner.
As soon as Aunt Zhang took the money, Feng Qiaozhen came over: "Aunt Zhang, you don't have to go. I'll go after I finish cleaning. Just give me the money..."
"Aunt, I paid for this. I only trust Aunt Zhang for buying vegetables. If you don't want to buy vegetables, just pay for it yourself. I have no objection."
Aunt Zhang looked embarrassed: "I... No one in my family can make money like Xiaoduo, so how can I have so much money to buy vegetables."
"Then don't worry about Aunt Zhang, just do your job."
Aunt Zhang heard Mingzhu trust her so much, and she happily went to buy vegetables with a basket.
Mingzhu and the old man started playing chess. Before the game was over, Feng Qiaozhen finished sweeping the floor.
Just as she was about to sit on the sofa for a while to rest, she heard Mingzhu say again: "Aunt, how can you just sweep the floor? You have to mop it. Wet the mop and mop it once, then wring it out and mop it again. This way it will be cleaner."
Feng Qiaozhen's face darkened a little, and Mingzhu smiled with a smile: "Why are you angry, aunt? You see, I'm pregnant and can't do heavy work. Since you have come to take care of the old man, of course you have to work harder. What, you don't want to? Grandpa, you see..."
"When did I say I didn't want to," Feng Qiaozhen gritted her teeth and got up: "I'll go."
With a gloomy face, she went to the tool room to get the mop, and mopped the floor twice, up and down.
Seeing Feng Qiaozhen working seriously, the old man secretly gave Mingzhu a thumbs up.
Mingzhu smiled secretly, and while Feng Qiaozhen was not on the first floor, she whispered something to the old man.
The old man nodded silently.
Not long after, Feng Qiaozhen came down from the first floor, mopped and rinsed the floor, and returned to the living room, pounding her waist.
This time, everything will be fine, she wanted to sit on the sofa again.
But she still couldn't sit down, so the old man turned around and looked at her: "Have you finished mopping the floor? That's great, the flowers and plants in my yard need to be watered, go and fetch the bucket and water each pot thoroughly."
Feng Qiaozhen's face was already dark, but Mingzhu looked at her with a smile on her face, obviously waiting to see the excitement. In order to stay, she endured it again and got up to water the flowers.
She was busy inside and outside the house when Aunt Zhang came back.
She smiled as if she saw a savior and greeted him: "Xiao Zhang, you are back just in time..."
Seeing this, Mingzhu interrupted directly: "Auntie, you put the vegetables in the kitchen and go home today. It's a rare day off. You can also go home and spend time with your children."
Aunt Zhang was very happy to hear that it was not even a day off yet and she could rest early. She went forward and returned the two yuan and thirty cents left from buying vegetables to Mingzhu.
But Mingzhu waved her hand: "You take it, buy some candies for your children."
Aunt Zhang thanked her and left, and Feng Qiaozhen's eyes were red.
A woman from the countryside, how could she be so extravagant with the money of the Jiang family's heir? It was simply... infuriating.
It was not until Aunt Zhang left happily that she remembered that she had called Aunt Zhang to ask her to help her water the flowers.
Now that Aunt Zhang is gone, the yard is full of flowers. She is so exhausted
. She wants to quit, but she thinks that she has been busy for an hour and a half. If she finds an excuse to leave now, won't it be a waste of all her efforts?
She can only hold back the anger in her heart and continue to work.
After working for nearly an hour, she finally finished watering the flowers. As soon as she entered the porch from the yard, before she even entered the living room, she heard Mingzhu say, "Grandpa, I'm a little hungry and want to eat."
The old man glanced at Feng Qiaozhen and said in a calm tone, "It's getting late, go to the kitchen and make dinner."
Mingzhu turned around and looked at her with a smile, "Oh, by the way, aunt, there are many people tonight, so just prepare five dishes and one soup, and the staple food can be hand-rolled noodles."
Feng Qiaozhen wanted to cry. She didn't even have a sip of water for the whole afternoon. They wanted to torture her to death!
