This middle-aged woman is Wencai's nanny, an honest and simple woman. She has been working in Wencai's house for two years.
The woman spoke to Wencai very naturally, with no sign of hierarchy at all. It was obvious that Wencai treated her well.
"Aunt Liu, please put down your teacup first. I have something to discuss with you."
While the woman was putting down her teacup, Wencai took out some money from his pocket and took out two hundred-yuan bills and put them into the woman's hand.
"Aunt Liu, this is your salary for this month."
"No, it's only the middle of the month! Isn't it time to get paid yet?"
The woman looked at the money in her hand, her face full of confusion.
Wencai hesitated and was evasive, avoiding the woman's gaze.
The woman guessed Wencai's intention from his unusual behavior.
"Wencai, are you trying to get rid of me?"
"Aunt Liu, I'm sorry, but I have my reasons. Here are 600 yuan as compensation. Please find another place to work!"
Wencai's words were filled with a deep sense of self-blame. After all, Aunt Liu had been helping him for two years. She had worked diligently and had never made any mistakes. She was a rare good nanny.
Wencai really couldn't bear to drive her away, but there couldn't be two tigers in one mountain. If Shumei knew, she would definitely not stay. So, for Shumei, he had to make such a cruel decision.
"Is it because of her?"
The woman stuck her head out and glanced at Shumei, who was fidgeting in the living room. She winked at Wencai and asked, and Wencai nodded in the affirmative.
"Look at how haggard she looks. She must have just recovered from a serious illness, right? Auntie is also a poor person. Why bother a poor person with a poor life? I'll pack up and leave soon."
"Thank you, Aunt Liu, thank you for your understanding. There's one more thing I don't want her to know. It was because of her coming that you lost your job. Can you help me make it up?"
"Don't worry!"
The woman replied affirmatively, picked up the teacup on the table and walked into the living room.
Seeing Aunt Liu coming, Shumei stood up from the sofa uncomfortably and gave Aunt Liu a polite smile.
"Come, girl, have some tea!"
"Thank you, Auntie. Wencai, who is this?"
Shumei turned her gaze to Wencai, wanting him to introduce the woman in front of her to her.
Aunt Liu continued Shumei's words, "I'm a distant relative of Wencai's. I came to the county to do some business and have nowhere to stay. I'm staying with Wencai for two days and will leave tomorrow."
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Wencai also echoed the words and helped to cover up this white lie.
"I heard that you will be Wencai's nanny in the future? Then you should work harder. It's really a blessing for you to have such a good boss like Wencai. Come, try my tea-making skills and drink it while it's hot."
Shumei felt that she was just a servant and how could she be treated like this? She was a little hesitant and didn't know whether she should sit down and have tea.
"Shumei, sit down! Don't stand all the time. Drink it while it's hot."
Wencai dragged Shumei to sit on the sofa while he spoke. The two of them chatted and laughed, enjoying themselves. Aunt Liu saw that there was no room for her to interrupt, so she went back to her room to pack her things.
"Shumei, I've hired a nanny before and she paid me 200 yuan a month. Even if I'm taking advantage, I'll still give you 200 yuan a month! She'll provide food and accommodation. What do you think?"
Although they couldn't be lovers, they could at least be master and servant! Besides, Wencai really missed Shumei's cooking skills, and he was almost drooling just thinking about it.
In reality, these were secondary. His main concern was that Shumei wouldn't be able to attend chemotherapy properly without him. Wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain? Having spent so much energy and money to bring her back from the brink of death, Wencai absolutely didn't want anything to go wrong at this crucial moment.
"200 yuan?"
Shumei calculated silently in her mind that 200 yuan was double what she had expected. After deducting the living expenses for her family, wouldn't she be able to pay off the debt in less than four years?
When Shumei thought of this, she felt particularly relieved and free of debt.
She had found a way to get rid of her creditor, Wencai, but what about Boyi? Where was Shuangning? How could she repay what she owed them? Shumei was suddenly filled with sadness.
"What are you staring at? Is it going to work or not?"
Wencai urged Shumei, who was lost in thought, and gently shook her arm.
"Okay, of course. Thank you, Boss Li. I will do my best to do my job well."
After discussing the wages, the two began to chat. Shumei also told Wencai about her plan to visit Uncle Li. Wencai was reluctant at first, but after Shumei's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed, saying that he would take Shumei there sometime later.
The next morning, Aunt Liu got up early and made Wencai the last breakfast, then quietly left Wencai's house.
In this way, Shumei began to work as a nanny in Wencai's home.
Shumei has been teased by fate in many ways. She just wants to live a good life. Why is it so difficult?
Fate played tricks on her time and time again, pushing her down again and again. When she finally got up, she was greeted by another wave of huge waves.
This time, she almost lost the capital to stand up.
Shumei had to admit that Wencai's appearance was a guiding star in her time of despair, and it was Wencai who enabled her to stand up again.
She vowed to do something for Wencai. After much thought, the only thing she could do was to reconcile Wencai with the Li family. However, untangling this old knot would probably take some effort.
In the Zhang family courtyard, Zhang Xiaoqin packed a few clothes and set off early on the journey back to the Jiang family.
