Chapter 130: Nothing Works



Chapter 130: Nothing Works

Xiuzhu helps Tao Jie pick vegetables in the kitchen. Although she was not successfully hired as a servant in the Liang family, she does not ask for salary and does not take up other people's sleeping space. Occasionally she works as free labor, so she is tacitly regarded as an invisible person by other servants and no one wants to get rid of her.

"Sister Tao, I've prepared the dishes. Look how hardworking I am and how meticulous my work is. Could you please talk to the housekeeper for me?" Xiuzhu raised the corners of her mouth just right, trying to convince the person in front of her.

In the first few days, she was very confident that she could find a good job.

She has talents. She learned painting, piano and dancing in her previous life and can use them now. She also knows English and French, so finding a job will definitely not be a problem for her.

However, she forgot that she had no ID or academic qualifications. No matter what era it is, companies that offer good treatment will always look at academic qualifications.

Xiuzhu's attempts to look for a job ended in failure. She then wanted to see if anyone needed a tutor. She could offer a much lower price than the market price, but only wealthy families could afford a tutor. The ladies saw that she had no ID and was extremely beautiful, so no one wanted to invite a wolf into their house.

Even if it costs more money, I would rather hire a female teacher who graduated from a reputable university and has average looks.

Xiuzhu really needed money. Without it, she had difficulty even going out to inquire about news, let alone returning to the inland.

She followed Zhou Cuihua's advice and applied to be a maid at the Liang family first. After receiving her salary, she spent 50 Hong Kong dollars to get an identity certificate.

With an identity certificate, it becomes much easier to find a job, make money, and get information.

However, what hit her hard was that she was not hired. Even though Zhou Cuihua asked Tao Jie to help talk to her superiors, she was still not hired.

When she applied for the job, the housekeeper actually said that she was incompetent at anything and looked more pampered than the young ladies. He also said that the ladies paid money to hire people to work, not to eat for free.

This was a huge blow to Xiuzhu. She stayed in bed for two whole days before she mustered up the courage to continue fighting for the job.

But she didn't have enough strength and couldn't do the work that Zhou Cuihua could do.

Thinking about the time she helped Gu Yu make noodles before, and how he said those noodles were the most delicious, Xiuzhu decided to help in the kitchen. There should be no problem this time, right?

But after arriving in the kitchen, Sister Tao only asked her to help pick vegetables and didn't even let her touch the pot. It was really a waste of her talent.

Seeing the flattering expression of the girl opposite her, Sister Tao felt embarrassed to show a tough attitude. However, her work was really bad. It was really meticulous. Not only did she spend almost the whole morning picking some leeks, but she also wasted more than half of the vegetables.

There is only this much left from such a big bunch of leeks...

Sister Tao sighed, "Xiuzhu, Sister Tao will give you two extra buns for lunch, go back and don't make trouble!"

Xiuzhu lowered her eyes in disappointment, nodded softly, and walked out of the kitchen.

She knew that she was being rejected again. The continuous failures made the confident Xiuzhu doubt herself. Was she really incapable of anything?

When she was a child, her parents protected her. Later, when she met Gu Yu, he gave her all the good things and spoiled her, so she had never had to make a living outside by herself.

I don't know if I can live alone outside.

Xiuzhu has given up on herself. She is really no good. No wonder Su Yu calls her a waste. Without a job she cannot make money, and without money she cannot go back to the inland.

Wouldn't that mean I would have to stay in this place for the rest of my life and never be able to go home? The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and my eyes turned red unconsciously.

Xiuzhu was so sad that she didn't notice that she had walked into the garden of the main house.

"Where did this little rabbit come from? How did you get to my house?" Liang Jiarong couldn't help but tease the strange girl in front of him with red eyes who didn't even bother to look at the road.

When Xiuzhu heard the voice, she looked up at the man in front of her. He was wearing a suit made of exquisite fabric, and his posture was elegant and dignified, giving people a unique temperament, like a nobleman in an ancient castle.

She wondered, could this be the young master Cuihua was thinking about whom she had never met?

"I'm a servant in this family. I still have work to do. You're busy, so I'll leave first." Xiuzhu was a little nervous and wanted to slip away quickly.

She was very clear about her position now. She was not even someone's servant, yet she came to the main courtyard garden and offended the master. If she was blamed, even Cuihua might be implicated and lose her job.

Liang Jiarong saw that the little girl in front of him saw him like a mouse seeing a cat, and he couldn't help but shook his head in amusement. He didn't question her words. He didn't go home often, and he wouldn't pay attention to whether the family had hired new servants.

Xiuzhu wanted to leave quickly, but when she heard the crying of a little girl not far away, she stopped and a thoughtful gleam in her eyes.

"I hate French. I don't want to learn French."

“If you don’t learn, you don’t learn.”

Liang Jiarong looked at his sister, who was 20 years younger than him, with a headache. He didn't know how French had annoyed her. She had been in a bad mood for several days and was not sure about learning it.

His mother had no choice but to call him back and ask him to coax his sister.

"Why not? Your French teacher, Wendy, graduated from a prestigious university, and my brother hired her for you at a high salary."

Liang Jiaxin remained silent. She didn't like teacher Wendy. Everyone praised her, but she just didn't like her.

"You have to learn it even if you don't like it. You will go abroad in the future. There is no lady in the Liang family who doesn't know a few languages." Seeing that she didn't speak, Liang Jiarong's tone was a little fierce. He was very busy and didn't have the patience to coax the child for such a small matter.

“Wuwuwu…”

“Wuwuwu…”

Liang Jiaxin's mother was separated from her father when she was born. Because her brothers and sisters were much older than her, she never had any playmates. Although she was not treated badly materially, she was extremely fragile and withdrawn at such a young age.

Teacher Wendy is strict in teaching. Although she has strong academic ability, she is not thoughtful and does not take Jiaxin's emotions into consideration, which causes Jiaxin to be very averse to French.

"Well, sir, I know French. Would you consider letting me teach this lovely little friend?"

Xiuzhu plucked up her courage and wanted to give it a try, but she had heard that the French teacher was hired with a high salary.

The word "high salary" is so tempting! She looked at the man opposite nervously, waiting for his answer.

Liang Jiadong saw her face clearly. He was not a fool. How could someone with such outstanding looks and who could speak French come to their house to be a servant?

Could it be an undercover agent sent by a business rival?

Thinking of this, he glanced sharply at the woman opposite him.
