Chapter 16: The Uninvited Little Maid in the Restaurant

Putting aside the people in the villa, the restaurant proprietress who received them actually hid a little secret, that is, every day from 6 o'clock in the morning to about 8:30 in the evening, a little maid would come from the villa to work for him.

This little maid should be the prospective daughter-in-law of Sister Wang's chef Yu Mother-in-law, her name is Shu Xue, she always comes and leaves on time, and has a good relationship with the proprietress and the staff in the restaurant, but it feels very strange not to stay in the villa all day.

The little maid is very capable, and the salary is not high, but the proprietress is happy to hire her. At first, the proprietress thought she was running out to make extra money, but later saw that she was staying in her shop all day long, so she asked her, "Is there no work to do in the villa?" ”

Shu Xue just smiled at the proprietress lightly, and went to work by herself without explaining anything, so the proprietress didn't want to ask again.

But not asking doesn't mean that there is no curiosity, from that day on, the proprietress is looking in the direction of the villa, and she doesn't know what she is looking at? I just think that the matter of the little maid is definitely not that simple.

After a long time, she found some clues, first of all, Shu Xue's time in and out is probably the time when other people in the villa have not gotten up or have already slept, for example, because there will be snow on the mountain in winter, so in winter, the proprietress will get up early to clear the snow at the door, and the time is exactly the time when Shu Xue comes to work with her in the morning.

Although I couldn't see the little maid coming out of the villa, I occasionally glanced at the villa, and the proprietress could always see that the lights in the window were all out, as if the people inside hadn't gotten out yet.

However, once the proprietress happened to meet Shu Xue's boyfriend Xiao who went down the mountain to buy, and asked him about it, and between the lines, Xiao Xiao didn't seem to know about his girlfriend's part-time job in her store, so the proprietress couldn't expose Shu Xue, so she could only ask questions euphemistically.

Xiao told the hostess that the family was going to get up at about half past five to freshen up, and the light in the living room was also turned on at that time. Because there are always many more things in the villa than the average family, the proprietress believes this.

So what do you see? There is also the time of night, the little maid will leave at half past eight in the evening, and the proprietress has also observed the lights in the villa when she goes back, it is always dark, as if everyone has fallen asleep, but before half past eight, is it too early to sleep?

And the proprietress also heard one thing from the housekeeper who often goes out, that is, they are always very busy early in the morning, and the time flies very fast, after getting up at half past five every day, when the cook finishes making breakfast, the big bell on the bell tower always rings eight o'clock, which means that they have to use it for two and a half hours to do these things.

In the afternoon, the time seems to be much more abundant, and everyone can work with determination. The proprietress also asked them if they slept early in the evening, but Xiao and the old housekeeper completely denied it, and said that all the servants except the master of the house would go to the recreation room to relax at night, and would not go to bed until the bell tower struck nine o'clock.

In this case, if the clock in the villa goes fast, it can be established in the morning, but not at night; If the clock in the villa slows down, it becomes a situation where it cannot be established in the morning and can be established in the evening. The proprietress felt like her brain was all confused.

However, the proprietress also asked: "Is the clock on the bell tower that everyone can go up to adjust?" (It should be noted here that everyone in the treacherous house relied on the big clock in the bell tower to determine the time, and there was no clock in the house, and the owner did not like the sound of the clock ticking.) )

The answer was that only the owner of the House of Treachery would be able to adjust the time on the bell tower, because the only key to the door of the bell tower was with the owner. So as servants, they have no way to adjust their time. Every year, the owner will go to the bell tower on a fixed day through the overpass to place a note. You only need to do it once a year.

In this way, the proprietress can only swallow it in her stomach if she has any questions, she still accepts Shu Xue to work every day as usual, but every time she looks at Shu Xue's eyes, she always has some doubts, and she feels that this little maid has an extra layer of unpredictable.

Putting these aside, his Shu Xue is still good, and he will also help the proprietress go down the mountain to run errands, of course, on those sunny days. Sometimes when he came back from the mountain, Shu Xue would take care of him and bring some goods to the restaurant proprietor. Therefore, the advantages of Shu Xue's existence generally outweigh the disadvantages.

The proprietress didn't tell the other colleagues or the other employees in the restaurant about these things, and she thought that the little girl must have some reason for going out alone to earn an extra salary. Originally, it was not easy for a little girl to be a maid, not to mention that she was still in such a remote mountain, so if you can help her hide it, you can help her hide it, and save it from being passed on to the owner of the treacherous house, which will have a negative impact on Shu Xue.

It is precisely because of the kindness of the proprietress that until now, the other servants of the treacherous house do not know that Shu Xue secretly works in the restaurant.

But there is another strange thing, according to Sister Wang, Shu Xue is the personal maid of the owner of the house, that is to say, she accompanies the owner of the house in the room all day from morning to night, so it is possible that the owner of the house asked her to come out to do things, but why is this? The little salary of the proprietress can't be enough to subsidize the huge daily expenses of the treacherous house!
