Chapter 296: Heavy Housework
Gu Yueqing originally wanted to lighten her burden, but seeing that Shi Sheng agreed to it, he didn't say anything.
Because he knows that like Shi Sheng's so-so, cowardly character, he should indeed go through some more things to hone it. So he decided that in the future, as long as it wasn't something very excessive, he wouldn't reach out to help Shi Sheng, what he needed was Shi Sheng's own growth, so that he could be worthy of being the new Mrs. Gu in the future.
After Shi Sheng agreed to Mrs. Gu's request, he followed Steward Zhang to the utility room.
"There are all kinds of cleaning tools here, you can find what you need to find yourself."
Steward Zhang almost rolled his eyes and said these words to Shi Sheng.
"Okay, thank you." Shi Sheng nodded, looking at the Gu family's utility room that was tightly organized, Shi Sheng couldn't bear to sigh that this was everyone's demeanor.
"It's the first time I've seen a guest from our Gu family cleaning, it's really strange." Steward Zhang ignored Shi Sheng's thanks, and he watched with disdain as Shi Sheng picked up those tools, as if he was looking at someone.
"I just don't want to get something for nothing." After listening to Steward Zhang's words, Shi Sheng was silent for a while and replied in a low voice.
"You can start cleaning from the second floor and clean the first floor after you finish cleaning!" Steward Zhang knew that Mrs. Gu wanted to deliberately embarrass Shi Sheng, so she simply handed over the entire house to her to clean, but the attic on the third floor did not allow others to enter casually, so he gave up letting Shi Sheng go up.
“…… So much, do you want to clean it up tonight? Shi Sheng thought that it would be enough to just one floor, but he didn't expect to arrange so many tasks for himself.
"Do you think the Gu family's food is so easy to eat?" After Steward Zhang glanced at Shi Sheng gloatingly, he turned around and left the utility room, leaving Shi Sheng alone wandering in place.
Listening to Steward Zhang's meaning, if he can't finish cleaning, he won't be able to eat. Shi Sheng sighed and began his hard work.
Shi Sheng didn't expect Gu Yueqing to help her, but when she watched Gu Yueqing spare herself and go straight back to the study, Shi Sheng felt that her heart was half cold, it turned out that Gu Yueqing was also on Mrs. Gu's side......
Forget it, don't get cranky, let's get ready to get to work.
Shi Sheng took out a mop and rag from the utility room, walked to the bathroom, put water and prepared to clean up the house.
Shi Sheng cleaned up from the second floor to the first floor little by little, and after arriving on the first floor, the Gu family had already finished eating, but Shi Sheng still continued to clean up the housework.
One floor down, Shi Sheng already felt that his lower back and spine were about to break.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled the water, you can wipe it again."
When Shi Sheng was just about to clean the stairs, a servant who looked more difficult to get along with walked up to Shi Sheng with a basin of water, poured all the water in the basin on the ground, and then said to Shi Sheng with an apologetic face.
Looking at Shi Sheng's ugly face, the maid rolled his eyes and glanced at Shi Sheng, and then turned around and left the stairs with a basin of water.
"......" Shi Sheng didn't speak, she just turned around, picked up the mop from the side, and wiped the water on the ground again. She knew that these people were inseparable from each other, and Gu Yueqing's mother sent someone to embarrass herself.
The other servants of the Gu family all stopped what they were doing and looked at Shi Sheng doing what they were supposed to do.
After eating, Old Man Gu probably turned around and went upstairs because he couldn't stand it or felt too embarrassed, and didn't continue to stay on the first floor.
Gu Yueqing was in the study, and only Mrs. Gu was left to watch Shi Sheng clean up in front of her.
"It's not a rich lady, and when it comes to housework, it's not even as neat as the maid in my house." Looking at Shi Sheng's clumsy appearance, Mrs. Gu couldn't help but mock.
"I'm sorry Auntie, but I've done my best." Shi Sheng raised his head, looked at Mrs. Gu and replied with a look of disgust.
"Yo, you've learned to talk back?" Hearing Shi Sheng's rebuttal, Mrs. Gu got up from the rocking chair and looked at Shi Sheng with a sharp expression. Shi Sheng noticed the change in Mrs. Gu's mood, she moved her lips, and swallowed what she wanted to say back into her stomach.
After the whole house was cleaned, it was already the middle of the night. There was no sign of movement in the whole house, except for Shi Sheng, everyone else had gone back to their rooms to sleep.
Looking at the room he had cleaned, Shi Sheng put all the tools at hand back in the utility room, compared to the previous room, Shi Sheng's subordinates have become neat and new, very clean, even cleaner than those servants cleaned before.
Seeing that everything had been cleaned up, Shi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, went to the bathroom to wash his face briefly, and returned to his room.
Because he was so tired, Shi Sheng didn't even change his clothes and lay down on the bed directly. Her eyelids kept fighting, but her stomach kept "gurgling, cuckooing".
"Well, I should have gone to the kitchen to eat a little bit just now."
Shi Sheng couldn't sleep because of the real hunger in his abdomen, turning over and over in bed. She had to go to work during the day, and when she came back in the evening, she did housework all night, and Shi Sheng didn't eat a mouthful, so her stomach kept protesting with her.
Faced with her body's need for food, Shi Sheng closed her eyes tightly, she wanted to let herself fall asleep quickly and forget about her hunger.
"Goo, goo......" Just when she was desperate to sleep, her stomach screamed without giving face.
"Ahh Shi Sheng sat up from the bed with a carp, she blinked her eyes helplessly in the dark, she even felt that she had never been so hungry.
No, if you want to get a good night's sleep, you have to find something to cushion your hunger. Shi Sheng made up his mind, then turned on the bedside lamp and followed the light to find his slippers.
She crept out of her bedroom and groped her way downstairs.
Shi Sheng looked around as she walked, to see if anyone had slept yet, and after observing that everything was safe, she quietly walked into the kitchen on tiptoe.
But what she didn't know was that Gu Yueqing, who was sleeping in the bedroom next to her, had not slept because she had been cleaning and hadn't slept yet, so she didn't fall asleep with her.
Therefore, when Sheng quietly unscrewed the doorknob and walked out of it, Gu Yueqing, who was in the room, also heard a little movement.
"Did someone sneak into Shi Sheng's room?" Hearing that he was outside the door, the door of Shi Sheng's room rang, and a cold light crossed Gu Yueqing's eyes, and the first thought in his heart was to worry about Shi Sheng's safety.
Gu Yueqing hurriedly sat up from the bed, he didn't even have time to put on his slippers, he walked out of his bedroom, he walked quickly to Shi Sheng's bedroom door, after opening her bedroom door, the light in the bedroom was on, and the quilt had been unfolded, but people didn't know where they went.
"What's going on...... Gu Yueqing's heart "chuckled", and a bad premonition came to mind. He was just about to go back to his bedroom to get dressed and go downstairs when he heard the sound of slippers walking on the floor downstairs.
Maybe she's still cleaning. Gu Yueqing planned to go downstairs to take a look.
After arriving in the living room, Gu Yueqing didn't see Shi Sheng's shadow, he walked around the room with some doubts, but found that the kitchen light was on, and the kitchen door was the kind of translucent frosted glass, only to see a figure inside that had been dangling in front of the refrigerator.
Oh, so she's there. Gu Yueqing breathed a sigh of relief and walked over along the kitchen light.
The moment Gu Yueqing opened the kitchen door, Shi Sheng just stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Shi Sheng was taken aback, she didn't expect that it was already so late, and there were still people awake who didn't sleep. She slowly turned her head very weakly, and Gu Yueqing's handsome face gradually came into her eyes.
It turned out to be Gu Yueqing...... Shi Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him, but soon became embarrassed.
"What are you doing here?" Gu Yueqing looked at Shi Sheng's embarrassed appearance, resisted the urge to laugh, and then pretended to be very angry, looked at her and asked.
"I ...... I didn't eat at night, I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep, so I ...... I just wanted to come to the kitchen and see if there was anything else to eat. Shi Sheng tried hard to swallow the piece of bread that he had just stuffed into his mouth, and then looked at Gu Yueqing with big innocent eyes and said.
"Didn't eat? Is our Gu family such a picky place? Wouldn't you eat openly, like a thief? ”
Gu Yueqing looked at her with a serious face, as if Shi Sheng had made some major mistake.
Looking at Gu Yueqing's black face, Shi Sheng's voice became smaller and smaller, and her expression became more and more aggrieved, her hand holding the bread didn't know where to put it, as if it was embarrassing to put it anywhere, she unconsciously took a few steps back, and was about to stop, but she felt that her back seemed to be in contact with something hard, she quickly turned around, but saw an iron spoon hanging on the wall on the barb falling, and then collided on the floor with a sound, making a "bang" metal crisp sound.
Shi Sheng hurriedly bent down and picked up the spoon on the ground, and the movement was really not small.
Gu Yueqing looked at Shi Sheng's expression even darker, this woman is really stupid.
Just as Shi Sheng was thinking in his heart that it was about to be finished, there was a rush of footsteps outside the kitchen door, walking towards the kitchen.
