Chapter 20 Nothing Warms Their Hearts
Liu Qianqian tried her best to keep her balance, so that Mrs. Xu and Xu Zilin would not see that her foot was injured, and she would not let the boiling water spill and burn herself.
Liu Qianqian walked to Mrs. Xu and Xu Zilin with a glass of water. Mrs. Xu was about to reach out to take the water cup, Xu Zilin looked at Mrs. Xu's movements, and felt that the time had come, and a flattered person reached out to stop Mrs. Xu from touching the water cup, and at this time Liu Qianqian had already raised the water cup forward, and she was unexpectedly blocked by Xu Zilin, the water cup was hit hard by Xu Zilin, and the hot boiling water splashed on Liu Qianqian's hand, Liu Qianqian "Ah!", instinctively let go of her hands, and the water cup fell to the ground with a crisp sound of "呑", and the cup broke.
The corners of Xu Zilin's mouth twitched slightly, and her eyebrows were gently raised, revealing an imperceptible evil smile. Xu Zilin thought to herself, it was not enough, she had to add another fire.
"Grandma, have you been burned? I didn't mean to, I just thought that I'm a junior, how can I be embarrassed to ask grandma to bring me water? So I reached out and took it myself, but I don't know what happened, the water cup fell off, and the water was still so hot. I almost burned my grandmother. Woo woo woo" Xu Zilin took the responsibility on herself and sobbed, but she couldn't squeeze out a single tear. She had no choice but to give up, just thunder.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, what kind of water do I drink, just drink it myself, why bother an outsider to serve me, she is not our domestic servant. "Xu Zilin continued to burn the fire.
"Grandma, it's okay, grandma, it's okay, Lin'er, don't blame yourself, it's none of Lin'er's business. Old Madam Xu touched Xu Zilin's head and said. Then Mrs. Xu turned to look at Liu Qianqian, and Liu Qianqian put down her hands. Waiting for Mrs. Xu's fate.
Mrs. Xu endured the dissatisfaction in her heart, due to time constraints, she didn't want to be seen by the guests who were about to come when she was reprimanding Liu Qianqian, and she couldn't afford to lose this face. But seeing that Xu Zilin took all the responsibility on herself, she couldn't let her good granddaughter suffer this grievance. She has to give some color for Liu Qianqian to see, otherwise her good granddaughter may not know how uncomfortable she feels.
"Sister-in-law Li!" Old Madam Xu said in a loud voice, obviously displeased.
"Yes, old lady, what do you command? A very capable middle-aged woman wearing a brand-name suit (that is the professional attire unique to the servants of the Xu family) and combing her bright balls quickly appeared in the inner hall, saluted Mrs. Xu, and then saluted Xu Zilin, glanced at Liu Qianqian with a smile, and then asked. This person is the sister-in-law Li in Mrs. Xu's mouth, the deputy housekeeper of the Xu family.
Quickly call someone to clean it up, so that the guests can see what kind of system it has become. Old Madam Xu commanded.
'Yes, old lady. Sister-in-law Li saluted respectfully, took two steps back, turned around, and quickly alternated her left and right feet, and her upper body still maintained a calm and dignified and elegant demeanor.
Soon, Sister-in-law Li appeared in the inner hall again with the same pace and professional smile, and saluted one by one, followed by a maid.
The maid's dress is not as solemn as Sister-in-law Li's, but compared with the dress of ordinary people from wealthy families, it is simply one heaven and one underground, and there is no comparison.
All the domestic servants of the Xu family, like the general work, are divided into three, six, nine and so on, different ranks, different jobs, different incomes, and the dress is naturally different, the same is that all the domestic servants eat, wear and use, in the new country, the domestic servants of the Xu family dare to call the second, and no domestic servant dares to call the first.
It was Mrs. Xu who formulated and gave all this, and every servant of the Xu family personally selected by Mrs. Xu. She is like Old Lady Xu running his Oriental Consortium in the front, and she manages her Xu family compound in the back.
The maid followed Sister-in-law Li to salute Mrs. Xu, saluted Xu Zilin, and nodded to Liu Qianqian.
The maid first defragmented the cups on the floor, cleaned them, and then cleaned the water stains on the floor. Sister-in-law Li explained the work of the maid in advance, and the maid was completed quickly. Sister-in-law Li took the maid and prepared to salute and leave.
Xu Zilin watched people cleaning for the first time when she was so old, she thought she could wait to watch a good show, but seeing that the ground was cleaned up, it was her family's servants who were affected, and Liu Qianqian didn't have anything to do. She was originally carried away, but she was in no mood at all, she couldn't imagine that Mrs. Xu, who usually doted on her so much, would let her "be wronged" for a Liu Qianqian, she was a little angry in her heart, a little unbearable, she wanted to get up and leave.
Mrs. Xu saw Xu Zilin's unhappiness, and naturally reached out and stroked Xu Zilin, as if to reassure Xu Zilin. Xu Zilin had no choice but to continue sitting.
"Wait, pour a glass of water for Miss, she's thirsty. Old Madam Xu said to the maid.
The maid glanced at Sister-in-law Li, and Sister-in-law Li nodded.
"Yes, old lady. The maid bowed.
The maid poured a glass of water and respectfully served it to Xu Zilin, who took the water and accidentally spilled a little.
Mrs. Xu borrowed the question to play: "Look at your clumsy appearance, how did you spill water on the young lady's body." Usually I see that you are very clever, why can't you pour a glass of water today, and ah, this water is so hot, how to drink it, are you hearted? What kind of heart do you have? You eat my Xu family, wear my Xu family, use my Xu family, you can't even pour a glass of water, you can't pour a glass of water. What's the use of you? And the face to be a rice worm in my Xu family? Although this glass of water is for my family Lin'er to drink, I think you are coming for me, you want to burn me. Sister-in-law Li, find someone to drag this useless guy out, and you are not allowed to eat without my permission. ”
The maid was already so frightened that she knelt on the ground, she didn't know what she had done wrong, how could she feel that she couldn't listen to the old lady's words, she looked for the answer over and over again in her heart, and without even shouting, she was dragged out by the bodyguards at home.
Sister-in-law Li was also at a loss when she heard this, and the only thing she knew for sure was that the old lady was angry. Just obey your orders.
Only Liu Qianqian listened to Mrs. Xu's words, her face was red for a while, and the blue changed for a while. Mrs. Xu's words pierced her heart every word, she thought that Mrs. Xu had let her go, even if she was a victim. But what she didn't expect was that Old Madam Xu would use this roundabout method to count her down. She has been married into the Xu family for so many years, and she has always respected them like guests, but she can't warm their hearts or enter their lives. Liu Qianqian lowered her head with tears in her eyes. Don't dare to lift it.
