Chapter 138 Zhang Xinru 2
Later, someone contacted me and said he could introduce me to a high-paying job, on the condition that I perform exactly as he instructed, or I would be rejected.
I asked him why he wanted to help me?
He said he was helping himself.
I asked him what kind of work he did?
He said he wanted to be a nanny!
To be honest, I was disdainful when I first heard that word. I had studied hard for so many years, not to become someone's servant. I had my own pride.
But when I heard about the salary, I hesitated. Even pride has to bow to reality...
I worked diligently at Mrs. Fu's house, just as he had instructed.
He told me that wealthy wives don't like young and beautiful women hanging around them, and that I should make myself look ordinary, talk less and do more. He said that as long as I pass the wife's test, my future work will be easy.
So I always worked under the sun, so I would get tanned and my wife would feel more at ease. Later, I was successfully sent to the young master's house as a nanny.
I don't know what he looks like, I only know that he has a beauty mark under his eye.
I don't know what his purpose was in doing this. He hasn't contacted me since I started working as a nanny at the young master's house.
He was a benefactor in my life, who helped me when I was lost.
I am very satisfied with my current job. It is very easy every day. I sent all of my first month's salary home.
“Our Ruru has become successful. Mom knew you were a sensible child. You’ve always been a worry-free child. From now on, all your salary will be transferred to me, and Mom will save it for you…”
This was the first time I had ever heard my parents praise me. I was so happy, and then I started to cry.
I don't understand why the job I worked so hard to find is less valuable than someone else's simple decision.
The servants here are all older than me, and I can tell they don't really like me, though they don't show it on their faces.
I guess they're upset because I do easier work than them, but we get the same pay.
Actually, when the young master was first arranged to come here by the madam, he was very resistant to me, but the madam insisted on keeping me here.
I thought the young master disliked me and didn't want me to come, but that's not the case.
The young master thought I was sent by the madam to supervise him, but later he found that I was very honest and dutiful, so he kept me.
During the time I was taking care of him, I discovered that he didn't dislike older people taking care of him, but rather he disliked his mother, and therefore disliked everyone his mother was the same age as.
I was the youngest in the entire villa, so the young master was quite tolerant of me and rarely scolded me even when I made mistakes.
The young master doesn't smile much, and I'm afraid of him, lest he fire me if he's unhappy.
I rarely go outdoors while working here, and the food is very good. In just a few months, I became fairer and prettier.
I don’t know if this is the reason, but the other servants gradually distanced themselves from me, and the servants who used to live in the same bedroom as me all moved out.
In this enormous villa, I don't even have anyone to talk to.
I eat alone, I work alone, I rest alone, I do everything alone, and gradually I became taciturn.
I adopted a very humble attitude and tried to get along well with them.
As a result, everyone made sarcastic remarks, saying that I was too ambitious, that I didn't do my job properly all day, and that I was just thinking about seducing the young master and even dreaming of becoming the mistress of this place.
I never had that thought. I am well aware of the gap between myself and the young master. I am already very satisfied with such a good job.
No one talks to me every day, I can't sleep at night, I'm so lonely, I'm going crazy if this continues.
I wonder if if I help them with more chores and go back to my previous dark and thin appearance, they will start talking to me.
The housekeeper saw everything I did and often reminded me to just do my own job and not to do extra work for others. I would just smile and say nothing each time.
He's the butler, managing all the servants. Everyone's trying to curry favor with him, so why would they ostracize him? And how could he possibly understand my situation?
The first thing my mother does when she calls me every month is to tell me to transfer my salary to her as soon as possible.
Suddenly, I feel like life is so boring. I have no friends, no lover, no social life...
Immersed in a world of solitude every day, at this moment, I feel forgotten by the whole world.
One evening, a maid was celebrating her birthday. She bought a cake and secretly celebrated with everyone in the bedroom. Everyone got a cake except me.
Late at night, a plump middle-aged woman secretly brought me a small piece of cake.
"There's still a lot of cake left over there. It would be a shame to throw it away. Why don't you try it and see if it's good?"
Despite saying that, her eyes were fixed on the small cake.
I smiled and said, "There aren't enough to go around for so many people, how could there possibly be any left over!"
"I'll treat you to cake next time it's my birthday."
The woman smiled and said, "I'll be waiting!"
I feel that there are still people who care about me, even though this care came a little late, I am still very touched.
This is the best cake I've ever eaten in my life, because it contains the care and kindness of others for me.
That night, I lay in bed thinking for a long time. Perhaps it was because my name wasn't good enough that I was having such a hard time.
So, I decided to give myself a new name—Zhang Xinru.
The trees flourish and the springs begin to flow.
In order to change my name, I begged my family for a long time, and they agreed to change my salary card to my mother's card before I could get my own household registration book.
I told myself that from today onwards, I will live for myself.
Even on my birthday, which is also payday, I didn't forget the promise I made to the older woman last time.
I wanted to treat her to an expensive cake, but I didn't have enough money on me. I called my mother to ask her to transfer some money to me, but instead I got a scolding.
My mother said that my workplace provides food and lodging, so I don't need to spend any money. All this money should be saved for my younger brother's future wedding.
I said I just wanted to eat a cake, today is my day...
Before she could finish speaking, her mother scolded her for being greedy and hung up the phone.
Today is my birthday, Mom, don't you remember?
Suddenly I feel like my life is meaningless. Nobody cares about me or cares about me. I feel like I shouldn't even exist in this world.
Perhaps only death can bring relief!
