Jiang Guilan's wife passed away a few years ago. Because she did not want to disturb the world of her son and daughter-in-law, she has been living alone. She was a restless person. When she heard that nannies were highly paid, she went to work as a nanny in the house of a Mr. Liu through an agency.
Liu is 68 years old this year. Before his retirement, he was a middle-level leader of a state-owned enterprise. Because of his long service, his pension was nearly 8,000 yuan. He is still in good health and hires a nanny mainly to provide three meals a day and clean the house.
Because he went to the United States to study when he was a teenager, Lao Liu prefers to eat Western food. He has a sandwich with hand-ground coffee for breakfast and usually a steak with red wine for dinner.
Since there were only two people at home, Lao Liu asked Jiang Guilan to eat at the same table with him. But Jiang Guilan knew that there was a difference in status. When Lao Liu ate Western food, she ate leftovers. When Lao Liu eats Chinese food, she basically only eats home-cooked dishes and rarely eats expensive dishes. On
’s first Sunday of work, Lao Liu’s son and daughter-in-law came to visit him.
As soon as the young couple entered the door, they checked Jiang Guilan's ID card and asked a lot of personal questions, which made her so nervous that her palms were sweating.
After the cross-examination, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law took Jiang Guilan to the vegetable market and bought a lot of ingredients. There were all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat. Jiang Guilan's hands almost cramped.
As soon as she entered the house, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law slumped down on the sofa and lazily sent Jiang Guilan to the kitchen to cook.
Jiang Guilan asked while sorting out the ingredients: "What do you want to eat tonight? Is it enough to make four dishes and one soup?"
Old Liu's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes at her and said displeasedly: "What nonsense are you talking about? I've cooked everything I just bought! Why don't you just buy it and put it on display for you to admire?"
Hearing this, Jiang Guilan felt very uncomfortable and felt that Old Liu's daughter-in-law disrespected her! But she didn't reply and went to work in the kitchen silently.
After working for almost 3 hours, Jiang Guilan finished the dishes, a total of ten dishes!
During the meal, Jiang Guilan came to the table as usual, and was immediately scolded by Lao Liu's daughter-in-law. Lao Liu didn't speak for her, so she had no choice but to go into the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks.
Since she didn't think of this, Jiang Guilan didn't leave any food for herself. Because she was afraid of being scolded by Lao Liu's daughter-in-law if she went out to pick up vegetables, she had no choice but to take out pickles from the refrigerator and eat them with white rice.
Before, Jiang Guilan thought that being a nanny in Lao Liu's family was a very relaxing task, but now it turns out that his son and daughter-in-law are not good at it. Fortunately they only come once a week, otherwise she would really leave.
Time flies, and three months have passed. Jiang Guilan has gradually adapted to the life of being a nanny. Even if Liu's son and daughter-in-law deliberately make things difficult for her, she can deal with it calmly.
But at this moment, Lao Liu said something to Jiang Guilan, which shocked her.
That day, the two of them were having dinner, and Lao Liu suddenly said: "Gui Lan, I think you are a nice person and we get along well. Why don't you become my wife!"
Jiang Guilan was so shocked that his chopsticks fell to the ground!
"What's wrong? Can't believe my ears?" Lao Liu smiled slightly and continued: "Although our conditions are very different, I have fallen in love with you! You should think about it carefully and reply to me in two days!"
Jiang Guilan has never thought about finding another wife, but she is only 55 years old, and she still has a long life in the future. Remarrying is not a bad thing.
The next day, Jiang Guilan replied to Lao Liu: "I am willing to marry you, but I have to tell my son before I get the certificate."
Lao Liu persuaded: "We are already this age, what kind of certificate do we need to get? That's necessary! I have a big house for you to live in, and the pension is enough for both of us. These are real things!"
Jiang Guilan felt that what he said made sense, so she stopped worrying about getting the certificate.
After her identity change, Jiang Guilan's life became more comfortable. Every time she made a sandwich or coffee for Lao Liu, she would get one for herself.
Lao Liu brought back a bag of steak from outside, and proudly showed off to Jiang Guilan: "I got a good deal today. This steak is super good, and it costs 258 yuan per piece! You can fry this for me tonight!"
In the evening, Jiang Guilan took out 2 slices of steak, intending to fry one each for Lao Liu and himself.
Unexpectedly, when Lao Liu saw it, he immediately stopped him and said, "Guilan, just fry one slice, I can't eat two slices!"
Jiang Guilan didn't have much to say, so she put away a piece of steak with great disappointment, and then fried the steak for Lao Liu while heating up the leftovers for herself.
After winter, the weather gradually turned cooler. Jiang Guilan wanted to buy a down jacket. Lao Liu said he also planned to add one, and the two went to the mall together.
After visiting several stores, Lao Liu persuaded Jiang Guilan to buy cotton clothes. Jiang Guilan disliked the bulky cotton-padded clothes, but Lao Liu said she was dressed appropriately.
In the end, Jiang Guilan got angry and didn't buy anything, while Lao Liu went home with a new down jacket.
On the way home, Lao Liu kept saying that his down jacket was warm and beautiful. Jiang Guilan felt very unhappy after hearing this.
But within a few days, something even more unpleasant happened for her!
During the New Year's Day holiday, Lao Liu's son and daughter-in-law came to visit him and bought a lot of ingredients for Jiang Guilan to cook. Jiang Guilan cooked 13 dishes without running out of ingredients, so she suggested starting the meal directly.
Unexpectedly, Lao Liu's daughter-in-law scolded her directly: "I have bought all the food, and you still refuse to do it when I ask you to do it. You are so lazy! Don't think that you are the hostess when you live with my dad. It is not your turn to make the decision in our family!"
Lao Liu's son echoed: "In our eyes, you will always be an old and poor nanny! Don't take yourself too seriously!"
Jiang Guilan was shaking with anger after hearing this! She and Lao Liu have been together for more than half a year, but she didn't expect that his son and daughter-in-law would treat her like this!
Jiang Guilan immediately called Lao Liu, hoping that he would support her. But Lao Liu pretended not to hear, and Jiang Guilan went back to the room in anger.
After a while, Jiang Guilan heard the sound of several people eating, drinking and chatting in the restaurant. She finally understood that she was always an outsider!
Jiang Guilan walked to the restaurant and said solemnly: "Old Liu, let's end our partnership today!"
Old Liu muttered: "It's not the first time I've been scolded a few times, so don't be so petty!"
Jiang Guilan felt cold after hearing this: "Whatever you say! Just pay me your salary for these few months, and we'll be settled!"
As soon as money was mentioned, Lao Liu changed his face: "We are living together, why should I give you money! You can dream!"
Jiang Guilan also became angry: "If you don't give me money, I will find an agency to see who can win!"
Lao Liu said shamelessly: "I will give you up to 10,000 yuan, do you want it or not!"
Jiang Guilan was too lazy to fight with him, took the money and left.
