She herself came from a poor family. After her divorce, she took her son to the city to make a living, which is how she entered the Xie family. She received a lot of care from the Xie family and empathized with Grandma Ming's experience.
The two hit it off immediately and had a heart-to-heart talk.
Grandma Ming was worried about Ming Xiaoxiao's education and survival. She was concerned that the huge gap between the rich and poor would have a significant impact on Ming Xiaoxiao's values, and this incident was a good example of that.
She wanted to stay in Linjiang City to keep a close eye on Ming Xiaoxiao and guide the child onto the right path.
To survive in Linjiang City, one must go out and find work, but she is too old, and no one will want her.
Aunt Zhang: "Speaking of which, it's the Pei family's fault. They can't even discipline their own sons, but they blame the girls for being shameless and seducing their sons. Do they really think their sons are some kind of hot commodity?"
When it comes to Pei Si and Madam Pei, Zhang Ma has a lot of opinions.
Considering the family backgrounds of the Pei and Xie families, the Pei family practically begged the Xie family for the marriage agreement, yet they didn't cherish it and instead messed around outside, seducing young girls.
In ancient times, someone who violated male virtues would have been drowned!
Fortunately, Xie Li didn't fancy Pei Si at all. The master also said that the young lady would be the head and leader of the Xie family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in the future, and she would not consider marriage until she was 30 years old.
Today, Granny Ming said that Pei Si threatened Ming Xiaoxiao with the fact that she was working secretly, which forced Ming Xiaoxiao to move into Pei Si's house out of desperation. Zhang Ma believed her.
In her opinion, what bad intentions could a little girl from the countryside have? Grandma Ming seemed to be a very open-minded person, and her granddaughter wouldn't be bad.
On the contrary, Pei Si's wife had a strong personality, and her son was pampered and spoiled. She also had three children follow him around from a young age, like the Crown Prince's study companions. His behavior was quite dissolute.
Not to mention, Pei Si was a notorious bully at Linjiang No. 1 High School, with a bad reputation.
Zhang Ma felt sorry for Ming Xiaoxiao, who was being coerced, and even more sorry for Grandma Ming.
"Young Miss, can our family arrange a job for Grandma Ming?" Zhang Ma couldn't help but ask.
Despite her worries, the old lady didn't go directly to ask Grandpa Xie and Xie Sidu for help. Instead, she came to Xie Li to discuss it.
Xie Li thought for a moment, "It's possible, but I don't think she needs it."
Aunt Zhang was a little puzzled: "Oh, why not? She said she's having a hard time and wants to work to earn money to support her granddaughter."
Xie Li blinked her clear eyes. "Did she directly ask us to help her find a job?"
Aunt Zhang laughed: "Of course she's too embarrassed to say it outright."
Xie Li nodded: "Then it's not necessary."
Zhang Ma didn't quite understand why Xie Li could draw such a conclusion, but ever since Xie Li returned, she had always respected him and whatever he said was law.
Although she felt a little regretful that she couldn't help, she also thought that Grandma Ming might have her own ideas, so she didn't ask too many questions.
When Grandma Ming called to ask where there was a housekeeping company, she didn't say anything, honestly gave the name of a housekeeping company and asked a few questions, without mentioning her conversation with Xie Li.
Grandma Ming hung up the phone, her face immediately darkening.
Ming Xiaoxiao glanced at the gifts the Xie family had given her. They were quite well-prepared, but they were mostly health products and clothes.
"When the Xie family sent a car to pick you up before, I thought they were very generous. But is this all they do? Are they treating you like a servant? They can't even spare a penny?"
Ming Xiaoxiao never bothered to hide her true feelings from her grandmother.
