Chapter 353 2 The best way to get the best of both worlds
Chapter 353 The Best of Both Worlds
Bai Wei bit her lower lip.
She was also very conflicted.
On the one hand, she wanted to go.
Now is a time when everything is waiting to be rebuilt. She has learned so much knowledge and hopes to become a builder.
But on the other hand.
Jiang Bo and Ye Xiaoyun are both busy with work, and they need someone to help with housework at home.
The work in the department is not easy either. If the three of us are so idle, what will happen to the family?
After pondering for a moment.
Bai Wei finally said:
"Forget it, I won't go."
"Someone is needed to take care of the house."
"You and Xiaoyun are both young, and it's time for you to make progress."
Ye Xiaoyun said:
"Mom, these can be overcome. If you want to go, go ahead. Don't worry about us."
Bai Wei shook her head.
When Aunt Yi heard this, she said to Bai Wei:
"Sister, this is easy."
"If you trust me, I will help you take care of the household affairs."
Bai Wei was stunned.
"Gui Lan, I'm glad you're willing to help me."
"I'm just worried that your body can't handle it."
Bai Wei still remembers the scene a few days ago when Aunt Yi fainted because of Sha Zhu's anger.
"It's okay. Jiang Bo has been helping me with my treatment these days. I feel much better now."
"I live alone and there's not much to do at home."
"If you want to go to work, then go ahead and I'll help you clean up the house."
Bai Wei was a little moved.
She turned to Jiang Bo and saw him nodding slightly at her.
Bai Wei said:
"Then...I'll go give it a try?"
"That's great, Mom!"
Ye Xiaoyun ran over happily and hugged her:
"I've been looking forward to seeing you back to work."
"Thank you Aunt Zheng!"
Ye Xiaoyun's voice is sweet.
"But mom, we can't let Aunt Zheng work for nothing. You also earn a salary, so we have to give Aunt Zheng hard work compensation."
"no, I'm fine."
Aunt Yi quickly waved her hands:
"It's just a matter of lending a hand. There's no need for any labor fee."
"Aunt Zheng, if you say that, then we can't ask you for help."
Jiang Bo said.
"Or so be it."
Jiang Bo handed the handkerchief bag back to Aunt Yi:
"Take this back. If my mother goes to work, I'll trouble you to take care of the house."
"But please don't mention giving us money for the medicine anymore. Let's offset the two. Is that okay?"
"I'll pay you another portion of your hard work fee at the end of the month."
Aunt Yi was stunned, tears welling up in her eyes.
Of course she knew that Jiang Bo was taking care of her.
Helping with housework and cleaning, five dollars a month is already a lot.
How can it cover the medical expenses?
Besides, these were tasks she was used to doing.
She also did these tasks for the deaf old lady, but no one ever mentioned paying her.
The old lady did say that the house would belong to the Yi family from now on.
But obviously, it was Yi Zhonghai who returned, not her, Zheng Guilan.
These days, she also realized that she could not get any benefits from either the deaf old lady or Sha Zhu.
and so.
It was Zheng Guilan who was the one who worried and worked hard, but it was Yi Zhonghai who benefited.
"Girl, go to work without worry. I'm at home, so you don't have to worry about anything."
"But please don't mention any hard work fees anymore, otherwise I will be embarrassed."
Aunt Yi left with gratitude.
Bai Wei was also very happy.
If she were really asked to collect Aunt Yi's medical fees, it would be too hot for her to handle.
Now Aunt Yi is willing to help and solve the problem of medical fees, and Bai Wei can return to work with peace of mind. It is simply the best of both worlds.
"Well, you write a letter to the senior leader of the department, and I will be back to work in a few days."
……
A few days later, Bai Wei finally returned to work.
Before leaving, she gave Aunt Yi the key to her house.
Aunt Yi also officially started working as a helper in the Jiang family.
Usually, Bai Wei also cleans the house, so the house is generally very clean.
However, Aunt Yi always felt that she was getting a good deal by using her hard work fee to offset the medical fees.
So I put all my energy into working hard for the Jiang family.
She first changed all the curtains and soaked them in a basin.
Then I started to clean the house, wiping it from inside to outside, leaving no corner untouched.
After wiping the countertop, he took a rag and squatted down to wipe the cement floor until it was shiny.
When they saw Aunt Yi coming out of the Jiang family's house carrying a laundry basin, everyone in the yard looked a little surprised.
Aunt Yi said generously:
"I fainted last time, and Jiang Bo prescribed some medicine for me to take."
"So, I helped them clean the house."
People didn't think much of it at first.
After Aunt Yi said this, everyone looked at her again and found that she had changed a lot.
In the past, Aunt Yi had a pale complexion and looked like she was in her fifties although she was in her early forties.
Why do I look a lot younger now?
My body is more upright, not as bloated as before, and my complexion looks much better.
In addition, she had been busy all morning, and a layer of blush appeared on her face.
Looking at her washing clothes again, her arms are quite strong on the washboard, completely different from her sickly appearance before. It's like two different people.
"Gui Lan, what medicine did Jiang Bo give you? I see you are much more energetic now."
"I've had this backache since two or three years ago. Can you give me some of your medicine?"
An aunt in the yard asked enviously.
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Aunt Yi replied.
"Jiang Bo prescribed Chinese medicine for me. Different medicines are used according to different physical conditions."
"My medicine may not work for you, and it may even do harm."
My aunt said "Oh".
"Hey, how much does he charge you for prescribing the medicine for you?"
Aunt Yi's hands paused.
"Xiaohua's grandmother, you should ask him yourself."
"Each person has a different lesion, and the medicine they use is also different. There are cheap medicines and expensive medicines. The difference is huge."
When the person asking the questions realized that he couldn't get anything out of him, he left in disappointment.
Aunt Yi had just washed the curtains and was hanging them up in the yard when she saw Zhou Weiguo coming in carrying a net bag.
"Old Zhou, why are you here?"
"I came to see you."
Aunt Yi asked Zhou Weiguo to wait for her while she returned the laundry basin to Jiang's house and locked the door.
Then she took Zhou Weiguo back to her own room in the backyard.
Ever since Zhou Weiguo appeared, the gossipy eyes of the people in the yard have never left him.
"Gui Lan, our department distributed some canned fruit. I don't like sweet things, and there's no use in keeping them, so I thought of sending them to you."
Zhou Weiguo was shocked when he saw Aunt Yi today.
I haven't seen Aunt Yi for more than half a month, and she has changed a lot.
In the past, Aunt Yi was described as haggard, with hair like dry yellow grass.
But now, she is like a dried chrysanthemum tea that has been soaked in warm water, and her whole body becomes plump and fresh.
Seeing Aunt Yi like this, Zhou Weiguo suddenly felt a little embarrassed to look at her directly.
The voice also became a little stuttering.
