Chapter 196 Worthy of being my mother
"Your last name is Zhu."
"We have the same last name."
After learning Zhu Tao's name, Zhu Meiyu liked her even more.
"Really."
As soon as Zhu Meiyu finished speaking, an excited smile quickly appeared on Zhu Tao's face.
"It's my honor to be Mrs. Xu's family."
"Xiao Tao, I don't like to hear the word 'honored'."
"We both have the surname Zhu. Maybe hundreds of years ago, we were one family."
"You are Wanru's cousin and you share the same last name as me, so don't be so formal with me. Call me aunt from now on."
"As long as you work diligently and conscientiously for the Xu family, I will never treat you unfairly."
With just a few words, Zhu Tao established a firm foothold in Zhu Meiyu's heart.
"Auntie."
Zhu Tao quickly called Zhu Meiyu "Auntie".
"I will definitely work diligently and be an honest person, please rest assured, auntie."
"That mouth is really good at talking."
"Better than that old thing Zhou Ma."
"That old guy thinks he's so great because he took care of the old man for a while, and he often bullies me."
"Mrs. Zhou is just a servant. We don't need to take her words to heart."
Zhang Wanru reached out to take the specialty from Zhu Tao's hand.
"I brought you flower cakes from my hometown in Spring City."
Zhu Tao swiftly handed the bag of flower cakes to Zhang Wanru.
"Aunt, Zhang's Flower Cake is the most famous flower cake in Spring City. They only sell 500 flower cakes a day. My cousin Wanru got up before dawn to queue up for you. She waited in line for a full hour before she could buy one."
"Zhangji's flower cakes are not only crispy and delicious, but also have the effect of beautifying the skin."
"Really."
"Wanru is thoughtful."
Zhu Meiyu sighed as she spoke.
"It's such a good thing, it's a pity that your sister Shanshan can't have it."
"Aunt Xu, has Shanshan gone on a long trip?"
Only then did Zhang Wanru realize that Xu Jiangshan was not in the room.
"I bought a set of traditional Chinese clothing for Shanshan, but it seems I can only wait for her to come home and try it on."
"Are Aunt Xu and Brother Fu Yang working upstairs?"
Zhang Wanru looked towards the second floor.
"Your Uncle Xu and your brother Fu Yang have gone to the Bund Labor Camp and will probably be back around noon."
Zhu Meiyu's eyes reddened and she reached out to wipe away her tears.
"What were Uncle Xu and Brother Fu Yang doing at the Bund Labor Camp?"
Zhang Wanru held Zhu Meiyun's arm and asked anxiously, "Did something happen to Shanshan?"
"Ah."
"It's all that bitch Yun Jiaojiao's fault."
Zhu Meiyu's red eyes flashed with hatred.
"Shanshan and Yun Jiaojiao's sister-in-law had just a small dispute, and the girl wasn't hurt. Yun Jiaojiao and her husband were narrow-minded and reported Shanshan to the Bund Public Security Bureau."
"Shanshan has been taken away by the Bund Public Security Bureau for two or three days. They are required to stay in the labor camp for 15 days of criticism and education."
"Yun Jiaojiao is going too far."
Zhang Wanru gritted her teeth, looking indignant.
"Her parents died young. If Grandpa Xu hadn't brought her back to the Xu family to raise her, she would have starved to death long ago."
"She actually disregarded the Xu family's kindness in raising her and reported Shanshan to the Bund Public Security Bureau. Such a heartless person, Grandpa Xu's spirit in heaven will never forgive her."
"Yes."
Zhu Tao echoed from the side.
"God has eyes. Such a heartless person will be struck by lightning sooner or later."
"Auntie, does your family prefer light or spicy food? Lunch will be time in two hours. I'll go to the kitchen to cook."
While speaking, Zhu Tao had already rolled up his sleeves.
"Cousin, take me to the kitchen later."
"Just tell me where the pots and pans are."
"Cousin, Aunt Xu's family prefers light tastes. Aunt Xu likes steamed sea bass, Uncle Xu likes garlic pork, and Brother Fu Yang likes stir-fried shredded pork with celery."
"What a coincidence! These three dishes are my specialties. Tomorrow morning I'll go to the market to buy some lean fish, pork belly, and celery so I can let my aunt and her family taste my cooking."
After hearing Zhang Wanru and Zhu Tao singing the same tune, Zhu Meiyu's expression improved a lot.
"Xiao Tao, you just arrived at the Xu family, and I asked you to go into the kitchen before you could even take a break. You've worked hard."
"Auntie, you are too polite."
Zhu Tao waved her arms.
"I'm young and have plenty of strength. This little bit of work won't tire me out."
"Miss Shanshan is in trouble, and you're in a bad mood. Just take a good rest. The Xu family paid to hire me, and Auntie gave me all the work inside and outside the house. I don't mind too much work."
"Ah."
There was a hint of smile in Zhu Meiyu's eyes.
"Although you are the nanny hired by our Xu family, you are Wanru's cousin, and Wanru's cousin is a relative of our Xu family. When you see Shanshan in the future, you should call her by her name."
At noon, Xu Fuyang and Xu Guangping returned home and smelled the rich aroma of food as soon as they entered the house.
"Wanru is back?"
Seeing Zhu Meiyu sitting on the sofa in a daze, Xu Guangping subconsciously thought that Zhang Wanru had returned and it was Zhang Wanru who was cooking in the kitchen.
"came back."
Zhu Meiyu came to her senses, stood up and walked towards Xu Guangping and his son.
"Have you seen Shanshan?"
"How is Shanshan now?"
"That girl has been picky about food since she was a child. The food in the labor camp definitely doesn't suit her taste. Is she thin?"
"Mom, that girl has only been in the Bund Labor Camp for two or three days. How much weight can she lose?"
Xu Fuyang interrupted Zhu Meiyu with an unhappy look on his face.
"My father and I saw that girl."
"That girl started crying when she saw us."
"She cried and begged me and Dad to take her home."
"I don't think she realizes her mistake at all."
"The one who's wrong is that bitch Yun Jiaojiao."
Xu Fuyang blamed Xu Jiangshan, and Zhu Meiyu yelled at him with dissatisfaction.
"Your sister just made a small mistake. An apology would have been enough. But Yun Jiaojiao, that bitch, insisted on making a big deal out of it. She even reported it to the police station and ended up sending your sister to a labor camp."
"Your sister felt wronged and cried and begged her father and brother to take her home. What's wrong with that?"
"It's fine if you don't comfort your sister, but you even blame her, Xu Fuyang, have you been bewitched by that vixen Yun Jiaojiao?"
"Mom, Jiaojiao is not a vixen."
"Xu Jiangshan was in a labor camp because she was hanging out with some bad guys and nearly hurt someone."
"This matter cannot be blamed on Jiaojiao."
"Can you please be reasonable?"
"hehe."
Zhu Meiyu sneered twice.
"Now you know how to feel sorry for that bitch Yun Jiaojiao."
"That bitch blocked the knife for you and was injured and hospitalized, but I didn't see you feel sorry for that bitch."
"That bitch is in the hospital, her life or death uncertain, and I wonder where you and Zhao Yunlei are fooling around."
"That bitch has a man who loves her now. If you feel sorry for her now, she won't be wanted anymore."
As expected, she is my biological mother.
Every word hurt Xu Fuyang's heart.
Xu Fuyang's heart ached.
"Cough cough cough..."
