Chi Beibei once hesitated whether to take Aunt Lin away, because Aunt Lin might be able to stay in the Chi family in the future to live out her old age, but that place is almost like a nursing home, and Aunt Lin will inevitably feel lonely.
Now Aunt Lin is hated by Chi Mingchu again, and she may not be able to wait until retirement in peace.
What's more, she is not short of money now.
Chi Beibei said: "Aunt Lin, the house is being renovated now. I can't take care of it. Can you help me?"
In fact, the construction company that Gu Yanchuan asked Uncle Guo to recommend was very professional and she didn't have to worry about anything. She said this to relieve Aunt Lin's psychological pressure.
She hugged Aunt Lin's arm and said softly, "Aunt Lin, will you come with me? We can live together."
“I’m scared living alone.”
The hesitation in Aunt Lin's eyes slowly dissipated a little.
Yes, the lady is still a child, how can she live alone? Although she is old, she can still help the young lady with cooking, washing clothes and cleaning.
"Okay, Aunt Lin will go with you."
She wants to leave with the young lady and take good care of her.
The next day.
Aunt Lin clearly remembered the dietary preferences of everyone in the Chi family. Thinking that she was about to leave, she couldn't help but get up early and prepare a hearty breakfast.
Looking at the many foods he usually likes in front of him, Chi Feng smiled and said, "Auntie Lin, is today a good day? I made several breakfasts."
Chi Mingchu groaned, "What a waste."
Thinking of how he had just been scolded by his father a few days ago, Chi Mingchu's voice was very soft, but everyone present heard it and the atmosphere instantly froze.
Aunt Lin smiled awkwardly.
Chi Feng said with a straight face: "Mingchu, Aunt Lin worked hard to make breakfast for you early in the morning. Even if you don't say thank you, you shouldn't say this, right?"
Chi Jiangmo also felt that Chi Mingchu was too disrespectful to Aunt Lin, and echoed: "Mingchu, this meal won't waste much money. Isn't Aunt Lin doing this to make us happy?"
"Hehe, it's because she scalded me yesterday, and now she's pretending to make a few breakfasts in an attempt to beg for my forgiveness." As he said this, Chi Mingchu shook his fingers coated with ointment.
Chi Feng and Chi Jiangmo asked at the same time: "Are you burned?"
"Brother, I'll call the family doctor to come and see you." Chi Jiangmo was worried, and was about to get up and call the family doctor.
Xia Shuyu hurriedly shouted: "Jiang Mo, sit down!"
Chi Jiangmo was puzzled: "Mom, let the doctor take a look at Mingchu. It would be bad if there was a scar."
Xia Shuyu knew that Chi Mingchu was not burned at all, so she naturally couldn't ask Chi Jiangmo to call the family doctor over. She said vaguely, "No need. I saw him yesterday. It's not a big problem."
She sighed inwardly in her heart, this silly kid in the early Ming Dynasty was still a little immature in his methods.
Fortunately, Ji Youli is an only child and Mrs. Ji is not Ji Youli's biological mother. After the early Ming Dynasty, there were no disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or conflicts between sisters-in-law.
With the Chi family around, I believe Ji Youli would not dare to flirt with other women outside. Even if he was bold enough to find a woman outside, it would not shake Ming Chu's position.
In the early Ming Dynasty, there was no need to deal with the affairs of the wealthy and powerful, so it didn't matter even if the methods were a little clumsy.
Chi Feng knew nothing about the conflict between Chi Mingchu and Aunt Lin. When he learned that Aunt Lin had scalded Mingchu, he asked with a dark face, "Aunt Lin, what's going on?"
Xia Shuyu patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, Aunt Lin didn't do it on purpose. People make mistakes sometimes." She seemed to be speaking for Aunt Lin, but in fact she was putting the blame on Aunt Lin.
"I'm sorry, sir." Aunt Lin knew that her defense was futile. Fortunately, she was about to leave, so she simply accepted it.
Chi Feng said coldly: "Be more careful next time."
"Yes, sir."
Chi Mingchu thought his plan had succeeded, and when Aunt Lin turned around, he gave her a smug look.
Humph, old thing, if you offend her, you will never have a good life in the Chi family.
Aunt Lin sighed deeply in her heart. The eldest daughter was so naughty, petty and vindictive. What if she accidentally offended someone in the future? Fortunately, she was born in the Chi family, so no matter how bad she was, her family would protect her.
After what happened in the morning, Aunt Lin became more determined to leave the Chi family.
The eldest lady's hatred for her only grew. She didn't know when she would be kicked out. Even if she wasn't kicked out, dealing with the eldest lady's harassment every day made her nerves increasingly weak.
You will have to leave sooner or later, so you might as well go and help the lady.
Aunt Lin was cleaning various kitchen utensils in the kitchen, carefully arranging them to make them clean and bright.
She sighed. She had been in this small kitchen for more than ten years and it was time to say goodbye.
Not long after, Xia Shuyu came back from sending Chi Mingchu to school. She threw her bag on the sofa, sat at the dining table and shouted, "Auntie Lin, pour me a glass of water!"
Aunt Lin's thoughts were brought back to reality. She responded and quickly poured her a glass of warm water.
"Ma'am, your water."
"Well, keep busy." Xia Shuyu picked up the water glass and took a sip.
Seeing Aunt Lin standing aside, hesitant to speak, Xia Shuyu asked, "What's the matter?"
Aunt Lin took a deep breath and said, "Madam, I want to resign."
"Why?" Xia Shuyu put the cup in her hand heavily on the table.
She never expected that Aunt Lin would actually resign. As far as she knew, Aunt Lin's parents and husband had already passed away, and she had no children. Where could she go at her age?
Aunt Lin didn't dare to tell Chi Beibei that she had bought a house, so she made an excuse: "I met my niece a few days ago. She heard that I was working as a nanny, so she wanted to take me back to enjoy a peaceful life."
Xia Shuyu was slightly surprised: "Your brother's daughter?" She knew that Aunt Lin had a brother, but she had never seen Aunt Lin contact him.
I heard that Aunt Lin married that scumbag late husband because of her brother. How good can their relationship be?
Anyway, she would never believe that her niece, who she hadn't contacted for many years, would rush to take Aunt Lin back home to live with her in her old age.
So why did Aunt Lin leave?
Is it because Mingchu has made things difficult for her these days?
After finding out the truth, Xia Shuyu felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Aunt Lin is such an old woman, but she is still arguing with a child!
Just because Mingchu caused her a little trouble, she was determined to leave the Chi family?
Didn’t I just say a few words to her? I didn't hit her or scold her, so what's the big deal?
To put it bluntly, if a nanny can't even stand a few harsh words, what's the point of being one?
But I have been eating Aunt Lin’s cooking for more than ten years, and I can’t find anything more satisfactory at the moment.
Xia Shuyu said coldly: "Aunt Lin, you left so suddenly, where can we find people?"
Seeing Aunt Lin's expression change, Xia Shuyu slowed down her tone and tried to persuade her to stay: "Why don't you stay? I'll give you a raise."
Aunt Lin rubbed her hands apologetically: "Madam, I'm really sorry, I..."
Are you still concerned about what happened in the early Ming Dynasty?
Xia Shuyu suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "I know Mingchu has been in a bad mood these days. You have been wronged. I will talk to her properly."
Unexpectedly, Aunt Lin, who had always been gentle in character, was particularly firm this time. She put her hands on both sides and bowed to Xia Shuyu.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry!"
Things have come to this point, and she has already apologized, but Aunt Lin still wants to leave!
"You!" Xia Shuyu slammed the table heavily, her face changing with anger.
She pointed a finger at Aunt Lin and wanted to question her, but she didn't dare to bring up the matter.
I was afraid that the gossips below would spread the news that Mingchu was making things difficult for the servants.
Xia Shuyu glared at Aunt Lin fiercely: "Aunt Lin, I advise you to think carefully. It's not that easy to find a job outside."
Aunt Lin was so frightened that she trembled, but she didn't change her mind after all: "Madam, please forgive me!"
Xia Shuyu gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"
Very good, the Chi family does not lack such a servant, isn’t it just a cook? The Chi family has plenty of money and can even afford to hire a Michelin chef! She was giving Aunt Lin face by saying nice things to keep her, but she really didn't know how to appreciate it!
Xia Shuyu called out, "Butler Liu."
Butler Liu was right behind Xia Shuyu. Hearing this, he stood beside her and asked, "Madam, what do you want?"
"Give me the check and the pen!"
"Okay." Butler Liu walked straight to Xia Shuyu's bag on the sofa, took out a check from the compartment, then took out a pen from his jacket pocket and handed them to Xia Shuyu together.
After taking it, Xia Shuyu quickly filled out the check and threw it to Aunt Lin.
"Take it."
"This, ma'am?" Aunt Lin was shocked when she saw the amount. "You gave too much."
According to the rules of the Chi family, if she stays for a few more years and does not make any major mistakes, she will be eligible to live in the Chi family's special house with the old servants.
But she is not yet old enough to retire.
What a fuss! Xia Shuyu said disdainfully: "Just take it if I give it to you. This is your retirement money."
This little money is nothing to the Chi family.
She did this on the one hand to avoid being questioned by other servants that the Chi family did not want to provide for Aunt Lin in her old age and deliberately forced her away, and on the other hand to use money to shut her up.
Xia Shuyu warned: "After leaving the Chi family, don't say anything you shouldn't say."
Aunt Lin has been in the Chi family for too long. Who knows if she knows anything she shouldn't know? What happened between her and A Shao, and what happened between Ming Chu and Bei Bei, if any of them were to be told to others, the Chi family would become a laughing stock.
"Thank you, ma'am." Aunt Lin didn't think too much about it. She carefully put the check away. With this money, she didn't have to worry about being a burden to the young lady.
Aunt Lin knew that her resignation was a bit sudden, so she said, "Madam, I can work for another month and leave when you find someone else."
"No need, just pack up and go." Xia Shuyu didn't want to see her for even a minute.
Aunt Lin replied, "Okay, okay."
Xia Shuyu turned to Butler Liu and said, "Butler Liu, please go to Yipinzhai and poach Old Yi from there. Our Chi family should have hired a chef long ago." She emphasized the word "chef," fearing that Aunt Lin might not hear it.
Aunt Lin was relieved to learn that there was a successor in the kitchen. After thanking Xia Shuyu again, she quickly went back to her room to pack her things.
