I adopted my brother's daughter, and forty years later, the worst revenge came
Sister Li, what's going on with this list you placed on June 13th?
When I suddenly heard these words in the early morning, I jumped out of bed, and the night's sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
What's going on? Did I steal money? "I made sure I heard it right.
The dispatch sales said in an anxious and reproachful tone: "You can go to Dianping to take a look!" Customers have complained, bad reviews have come out, and the circle of friends has also spread! Your next three orders, and now customers are asking me for a refund. You're a veteran, and I've got to solve it for you! He unceremoniously hung up the **.
I quickly searched Dianping, and I was furious when I read it. The content is complete nonsense! I never asked my clients to prepare high-grade fruits, let alone let their families see my face. What's more, accusing me of poor skills and moral problems, and even saying that I stole the 4,000 yuan red envelope given to the baby by the guest, it is simply groundless slander.
A series of comments popped up under my bad reviews page.
These confinement ladies are simply shameless, they get such a high salary but are incompetent. "
The confinement sisters-in-law are all uneducated and uncultivated countrymen, this kind of behavior is problematic, and staying at home is simply a threat! "
Which company is it from? Public**, this kind of person who endangers society, must be stopped! "
Oh my God, stealing? It's like reminding me of Mo Huanjing, it's terrible! "
These commentators simply do not understand the reality of the situation and are simply fanning the flames. Many WeChat friends sent me screenshots of Moments, all talking about me stealing money from customers' homes.
To make matters worse, the company has blacklisted me, which means that I will no longer be able to find a foothold in the entire housekeeping industry. My credibility will be tainted forever.
I'm Li Mei and I'm 41 years old. Eight years ago, I left the countryside of northern Jiangsu and went to Nanjing to work as a confinement lady. Because I work hard, have excellent skills, and love children, almost every order has received good reviews from customers.
On May 2, 2021, I went to a client's home to take care of the mother and baby in accordance with the confinement service contract.
This pregnant woman Xiaoxue was arranged by the child's grandmother to invite me, which is relatively rare, which makes me look at this grandmother with admiration and think that she should be a good person.
Xiaoxue had a caesarean section, and because her husband was stuck in the field due to the epidemic and could not come back, her mother-in-law and I accompanied her in the hospital. Her mother-in-law's surname is Wang, and she is 63 years old this year, and I call her Aunt Wang.
It's a pity that when Aunt Wang saw that Xiaoxue gave birth to a girl, her face was very ugly. In the hospital, every meal is a bowl of porridge and a vegetarian dish for the mother, and Aunt Wang also claims that this is the doctor's order.
I tried to explain to Aunt Wang that as long as the mother has a smooth exhaust, she can eat ordinary meals, lean meat, pork liver, and fish. However, she retorted that I was more professional than a doctor. It made me feel the need to say anything more. The work meal she provided to me was only porridge, and I was busy 24 hours a day, how could I be full?
Luckily, I brought some cereal and sesame paste, so I drank some with Xiaoxue when I was hungry. Seeing Xiaoxue's eyes glistening with tears, I could only comfort her and tell her that it would be good to wait until she was discharged from the hospital and go home, and then we could place an order online to buy ingredients and make some delicious food by ourselves.
On May 7, after Xiaoxue was discharged from the hospital and returned home, I noticed that she was a little afraid of her mother-in-law, as if she was in charge of everything.
Because Aunt Wang's family runs a business, interpersonal contacts are more frequent, and people come to visit Xiaoxue's mother and daughter every day. When the guests come, they will quietly stuff the red envelopes in the baby's crib, and I will honestly give these red envelopes to Aunt Wang.
On the evening of May 10, Aunt Wang suddenly conducted a surprise inspection on me, claiming that a red envelope worth 4,000 yuan was missing, and asked me to hand it over. I wasn't worried and didn't hesitate to let her turn my suitcase upside down. However, it turned out that nothing was found.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Wang actually said that I hid the money in my underwear and forced me to take off my clothes. I clenched my fists and my teeth rattled, but in order to prove my innocence, I stubbornly stripped naked and shook my underwear loudly.
Aunt Wang's search efforts were fruitless, and I could only ask her to apologize and leave immediately. Her daughter-in-law held me tightly and pleaded that if I left, she and her children would face a difficult situation. The responsibility of the confinement lady is to ensure that the mother and baby are well taken care of, so I had to decide to stay and continue to take on this responsibility.
Aunt Wang always cares for Xiaoxue warmly when guests come, and she can't put her granddaughter down. However, as soon as the guest leaves, her attitude changes as quickly as flipping through a book, and she shows disgust for the baby and throws the child in the crib at will.
Whenever the baby cried, she would throw a tantrum at me, accusing me of being unprofessional, claiming that the baby's crying was giving her a headache. I tried to release the baby's crying to express her emotions and needs, but she didn't listen, but instead accused me of bullying her son, and complained to her family.
The most unbearable thing is that Aunt Wang insisted on taking the child according to her method, using a root cloth to ** the baby's calves. Although May was already quite hot, she covered the child with a thick quilt, causing the baby to develop a rash. I ** many times, and the result only exacerbated the contradictions.
She lay on the couch all day directing me to do this and that. I wanted to communicate with her about the duties of the confinement lady, but once I mentioned it, it would lead to an argument, and I was afraid that I would be terminated because of this, which would make my mother suffer even more.
Looking at the mother on the bed with tears in her eyes and looking forward to help, I endured Aunt Wang's unreasonable scolding. Perhaps, just endure for another 42 days.
Faced with Aunt Wang's unreasonable parenting style, I chose to pretend that I didn't hear it. She asked me to unwash the curtains, wipe the glass, and do as much as I could while the baby was asleep. Severe sleep deprivation caused me to start losing a lot of hair and even having nosebleeds every day, which I had never experienced before.
Finally on June 13th, Xiaoxue and I held the baby with tears in our eyes and spent a full 42 days together. We were a little reluctant, but luckily her husband had returned. I packed up in front of the whole family, and asked Xiaoxue to confirm that the mother and daughter were safe and that their belongings were intact on the logbook of leaving.
Step out of the customer's house and feel the exceptionally clear sky. 42 days of restraint and depression, as well as severe sleep deprivation, made me feel like I had experienced a new birth.
After returning to my hometown in northern Jiangsu, I fell asleep and did not wake up for two days and one night. My mom was very worried about my sleeping patterns. She told me to check every hour or two if my snort was normal.
A customer complaint led to my termination from the company, and my mom knew about it. She anxiously asked me if this happened so often and if I was always being harassed.
No, most people are still very good, and this time it was an extreme exception! I replied.
Alas, perhaps we have delayed you. If we had more skills, you wouldn't have to do this kind of work. Mom whispered, looking lonely, and whispered to herself.
My mom always felt sorry for me and thought she was hindering my studies. In her freshman year of high school, she fell ill and spent all of her family savings, so I took the initiative to drop out of school to take care of her. Later, my younger brother was admitted to a university in Shanghai and lived a stable life. I worked as a farmer in the countryside before going to the city to work as a confinement lady.
Still, she put the blame on herself. I dropped out of school voluntarily and never blamed them.
My mom advised me to calmly communicate with the client to clear up the misunderstanding. I also hope to be able to clarify the facts, after all, why does Aunt Wang say anything.
She insisted on accompanying me to the client's house, she had been in the countryside all her life and wanted to go to the city to see. I knew she was worried about me, afraid that I would be bullied.
I came to the door of Aunt Wang's downtown garden house and rang the doorbell. As soon as Aunt Wang opened the door, her eyes revealed obvious disgust, and she half-closed the door, yelling at me angrily, calling me an uneducated countryman, and even hinting that I would not return what I had stolen.
At that time, I was so angry that I couldn't speak.
Mom pulled me tightly and stood in front of me and didn't allow me to speak ruly.
It's homely! Aunt Wang said mockingly, standing outside the door, "What do you want?" ”
Mom stared at her, looking a little excited. I also turned my attention to Aunt Wang, who was in her sixties from the city, but she had almost no wrinkles, neat short hair, and a red mole at the corner of her eye.
Mom asked tentatively: "You, are you Wang Jiaojiao?" ”
Remember Xinping Village? You've been an educated youth there! I'm Li Dahai's wife! Mom was a little excited, incoherent, and there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Aunt Wang turned straight into the house and rushed out with a broom, ", it's a shame!" I hurriedly pulled my mother to turn away, and reproached her, saying, "I have to come, move out of the old things!" There's something wrong with this man! ”
There's no mistake, the mole in the corner of the eye hasn't changed for more than 40 years! Mom was a little disappointed, "I thought she would embarrass you for the sake of her acquaintances!" She stole a glance at me, looking a little cramped.
Alas! If you want me to say good things about such a Wang Jiaojiao, I'd rather not be a confinement wife. I have the ability to have hands and feet, there is no need to find a job!
I found a small hotel to stay in. My mother is so old that she rarely comes to Nanjing, and now that she has come out, I decided to accompany her for a good visit.
In those days, I accompanied my mother to visit Nanjing's Yuhuatai and **Fu Scenic Area, and also visited the Confucius Temple.
On my last day, I took my mom to the Walking Street to taste the food. At this time, I received a ** from my younger brother, he told me that he was searched, and asked me not to go out for the time being, not to pick up strangers**, and to call the police if there is danger. He said that in the current online environment, some people are irrational and will do a lot of things in the name of justice.
Because of the noisy sound of the pedestrian street, I turned on the hands-free function. When my mother heard the content, her face turned pale instantly, and her hands clenched into fists. She pulled me tightly, motioned to stop a passing car, and insisted on going to Wang Jiaojiao's house.
Wang Jiaojiao lives in a wealthy area and has a privileged family, and I don't want things to expand, and I don't want my mother to worry. My mother held my hand firmly and advised me not to be afraid of that Wang Jiaojiao.
Soon we arrived at Wang Jiaojiao's residence.
Bang bang bang", my mother knocked the door of Wang Jiaojiao's house, and as soon as the crack in the door opened, she squeezed in all of a sudden.
Wang Jiaojiao, you did a good job! You may not remember Lu Ping or Xinping Village, but I will remember you! My mother grabbed Wang Jiaojiao's collar and grabbed her neck, her eyes were full of anger, "You framed my daughter, and the old woman is going to fight with you!" ”
Wang Jiaojiao was so frightened that she couldn't speak, her eyes were full of horror. I quickly pulled my mom away and tried to calm her down. But there was such a big movement in the living room, but no one else came out, and it seemed that Wang Jiaojiao's family was not at home.
Ahem", Wang Jiaojiao took a breath, her voice trembling and said: "Li Dahai reported Lu Ping, which indirectly caused the death of my child, and my daughter is so young!" So I won't let his daughter have a better time either! ”
You hurt their father and daughter! Xiaomei was entrusted to me by Lu Ping to raise, I was reluctant to let her suffer a little grievance, but her biggest grievance came from you! My mother slapped Wang Jiaojiao twice emotionally.
There was silence in the room. Oh my God, my mom's lie was a bit exaggerated!
Wang Jiaojiao looked at me as if she had been shocked, her face was pale, and her expression was a little stunned. She almost pounced on my mom: "You lied to me, didn't you?" You're all a**!
I hurriedly pulled my mother out without looking at Wang Jiaojiao.
I used to think that my mother deliberately said that I was Lu Ping's daughter, just to solve the immediate crisis. However, she told me that this was indeed the case, and that Wang Jiaojiao was my biological mother.
She reminisced about decades ago.
In the 70s of the last century, some male and female educated youths came to Mao City one after another, saying that they went to the countryside to cut the queue and settle down, and the educated youth point was near the collective warehouse. At that time, Lu Ping and Li Dahai were the best brothers, one was an accountant and the other was a cashier, managing the entry and exit of materials in the warehouse.
Lu Ping is an outstanding talent and cultured, which has attracted the attention of the beautiful female intellectual, Wang Jiaojiao. He treats his lover very carefully and considerately, and after getting married, he is even more obedient, especially after pregnancy.
In the late 70s, some educated youths began to return to the city, and those who were unmarried also had the opportunity to return to the city. Wang Jiaojiao began to clamore for a divorce, and her mother-in-law scolded her for having no conscience. When she couldn't survive in the countryside, she deceived their sympathy, found a place in the countryside, and now has the opportunity to return to the big city, she chooses to leave, ignoring the man and the child.
After Wang Jiaojiao gave birth to her daughter, she forced Lu Ping to secretly sell the grain in the warehouse, and then returned to the city desperately.
After the food was lost, Lu Ping and Li Dahai were interrogated and investigated.
When my mother was working in the countryside, her baby was born prematurely and did not survive. Lu Ping begged my mother to breastfeed his daughter for a few days. The mother was in pain of losing her child, but she held the thin baby and fed it, and love came naturally.
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping committed suicide by throwing himself into the river that night, and the child disappeared, and everyone thought that he threw himself into the river with the child. He was condemned as committing suicide in fear of crime, and Li Dahai was able to get rid of suspicion.
My mother said all this in a hurry, and hoped that Wang Jiaojiao would compensate me for her guilt, whether it was emotional care, material support, or monetary compensation. My mother hopes that Wang Jiaojiao can bring me a higher quality of life.
I understood that my mother did this for my own good, but when I thought of Wang Jiaojiao's bitterness and the fact that she abandoned her husband and daughter, and realized that I was actually related to her, it was like swallowing a fly, and I felt unspeakable.
The next day, all the messages related to me on the Internet were deleted, and an apology statement was also issued, claiming that the money had fallen into the crack of the bed and had been found, and the customer had mistakenly blamed me.
The network ** immediately changed, picked up my previous praise, the honorary certificate awarded to me by the company, and the comment area was full of praise, saying that I was smiling, full of affinity, and full of love.
The farce has finally come to an end.
I stayed at their home for 42 days and witnessed a delivery man deliver the wrong order, come to the door to apologize, and hope to exchange the item. However, Wang Jiaojiao turned people away, and even though the delivery man apologized repeatedly, she could only leave crying in the end.
I saw the cleaner in the corridor kneeling on the floor to wipe the wall, and Wang Jiaojiao kicked the broom on the aunt's back.
I've heard that their family changes nannies frequently, and none of them can work there for a full month, and even several housekeeping companies are reluctant to take their jobs.
As a confinement lady for many years, I have been in contact with **, entrepreneurs, and gold-collar families, and they are all approachable, respectful of laborers, and have no class concept.
But Wang Jiaojiao is different, she thinks she is superior, and those who are stronger than her try their best to flatter and flatter. treats the low-level laborers, but she tramples their dignity under her feet.
I was glad she had abandoned me.
The next time we saw Wang Jiaojiao was ten days later, and we met in a remote teahouse.
She looked bad that day, her face was full of tears and snot, and she recounted the hardships of her life. In the end, she revealed that no one knew that she had ever been married and had children, and hoped that I could understand and not talk about our relationship.
My mother put down the teacup with a "snap", stared at her in disbelief, and asked her if she didn't feel guilty and never thought of compensating her daughter?
Wang Jiaojiao's eyes widened, she suddenly stood up, lowered her voice and said, "Are you trying to blackmail me?" Then he pointed at me and said, "Does she look like me and Lu Ping?" If you want compensation just by saying it, you must be crazy! ”
My mother stepped forward and slapped Wang Jiaojiao down.
If you dare to bully my daughter again, try it! What happened to the rednecks? They are all part of the city's construction, and they are much more noble than you! "My mom pulled me and walked outside.
Hehe, how could a noblewoman who thinks she lives in the upper class want to have anything to do with the lower class people in her eyes?
Raising children is not a matter of wealth, but of love. I've never underestimated myself. Looking back on his upbringing, although his family was poor, his laughter never stopped. Because I grew up in a loving environment, I have a cheerful personality and can persevere no matter what difficulties I encounter.
Thanks to my parents, they gave me a happy childhood. Lucky people can use the joy of childhood ** for a lifetime. This taught me not to give up kindness at any time and to be a happy laborer, because labor is always glorious.
Life is like a practice, what we cultivate is the heart. A grateful attitude, an egalitarian state of mind, and a happy heart are what you should pursue no matter what kind of profession you are engaged in. Living beauty is not in appearance, but in the beauty of the heart!
