Hidden talents and rising stars in the nanny industry

Chapter 88: Pinched countless times by the crabs raised by the young master.

At first, Zhang Xinru and her friends thought catching crabs was very novel, but they soon became impatient.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! How long is this going to take... Ouch... It's pinching me again."

Thankfully I was wearing gloves, otherwise my hands would have been covered in cuts.

Wang Ma grumbled, "It's all your fault for taking on all these thankless and exhausting tasks."

It's better to just clean the house!

Zhang Xinru felt that this lake was like an enlarged treasure bowl, from which crabs could be scooped out endlessly, as if there was no end in sight.

Is Fu Xiaochen crazy? He raises so many crabs! I've never seen him eat a single one.

The two of them worked from noon until night, and were exhausted with sore backs and aching muscles.

"Ah! I can't take it anymore, how many more crabs are there...?" Zhang Xinru cried out to the sky.

Wang Ma vented her anger on the crabs, stabbing one to death with a single blow.

"We can't possibly eat all these crabs in a month, this should be about enough!"

If they kill every last crab, how long will it take? She'll be exhausted if this keeps going.

"I'm not doing it anymore, my hands are killing me."

Looking at her two swollen hands, Zhang Xinru thought of a good way to play the victim.

"Wang Ma, let's stop now. We still need to serve the young master and the others their meal later!"

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

This is exactly what Wang Ma was waiting for: "What if the young master asks about it later?"

The young master said that you're not allowed to sleep until you finish.

Zhang Xinru walked into the villa. "I have a way."

Curious about her method, Wang Ma quickly got up and followed her.

In the room, Dr. Zhao bandaged Zhang Ma's wound as requested.

"Just apply some medicine, there's no need to wrap it up like this."

Looking at her hands, which were wrapped up like rice dumplings, Wang Ma felt that even eating would be inconvenient.

"That's exactly the effect we wanted."

"Alright, serve the food!"

The two of them, each carrying a plate of crabs, shakily carried them to the restaurant.

"Young Master, dinner is ready."

"Miss Jiajia, please accept this; we can't put it down."

"..."

Ye Jiajia paused for a second before quickly taking it.

"Zhang Ma, what happened to your hands? Did Fu Xiaochen do it?"

Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma pretended not to care, but in reality, they were frantically waving their tightly wrapped hands in front of Ye Jiajia.

"We're alright, Miss Jiajia, please don't blame the young master..."

"Yes, we've just been pinched countless times by the crabs that the young master raises. It's nothing."

Hurry up and curse this bastard; he's the one who ruined our hands.

Fu Xiaochen: "..." Why keep bringing him up when it has nothing to do with him?

As expected, Ye Jiajia looked at Fu Xiaochen and angrily cursed.

"Fu Xiaochen, you've gone too far. To avenge those few flowers for you, you've become so vicious."

"Their hands are already like this, and you still want to exploit them..."

Fu Xiaochen coughed guiltily. Did they really obey his orders to kill crabs?

"Okay, if your hand is injured, don't do it anymore. Let it heal before you go back to work."

Anyone who didn't know better would think he chopped off those two people's hands for a few flowers.

Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma both shook their heads.

"Young master, it's alright, we can still do it."

"We've already had half a month's salary deducted, and we're counting on the other half to support our families!"

Ye Jiajia comforted them, "Money isn't important. You should focus on healing your hands first. Your health is the most important thing."

Fu Xiaochen felt that if he didn't speak up soon, he wouldn't be able to eat dinner.

He immediately interrupted them, saying, "Take paid leave to recover from your injury."

He then waved for the two to leave, not to disturb their candlelight dinner.

Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma were waiting for these words, and after coming out, they went straight to the kitchen.

"We've got an extra meal! Tonight we'll have crab, goose, and honey."

"Where did the goose meat come from?"

"The two that Miss Jiajia killed."

"I remember one was smashed to death, wasn't it? Did the butler falsify the accounts?"

"Those two were probably a pair! The other one was buried with them."

"Where did the honey come from?"

"Don't forget how you got that sting on your head."

Wang Ma: "I'm going to drink five cups of honey water tonight."

Zhang Xinru: "..." Aren't you afraid of being too sweet?

After finishing her meal, Wang Ma went to Dr. Zhao to have her wound re-bandaged.

She made a mess while eating crab because it was inconvenient.

Zhang Xinru had just lain down in bed to rest when her phone suddenly rang.

"Who is it? Calling so late."

When she looked over, the screen showed "hourly" incoming calls.

Why did they call her? Could it be that they're looking for Aunt Wang?

Zhang Xinru had difficulty using both hands to answer the phone, so she finally managed to pry it open with her toes and hold the phone with both hands.

"Hey! Xiao Shi, what's up?"

A worried voice came from Xiao Shi.

"Sister, I heard you were stung by bees today, are you alright?"

"Uh! It's nothing, just a sting on my face, nothing serious."

Wang Ma has such a big mouth, she even talks about this.

Xiao Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're alright. You all need to take care of yourselves. Next time something like this happens, don't rush to save people; take care of yourselves first."

Zhang Xinru's tone was chilling, "Hmm! There's going to be a next time? Are you cursing us?"

Xiao Shi apologized repeatedly, "No, no, I was just worried you'd get hurt..."

"There's no such thing as 'best,' you just don't know what today is like..."

Zhang Xinru poured out her grievances to Xiao Shi, recounting a long list of events that had happened that day.

Xiao Shi listened quietly to her rants, occasionally chiming in to let her know he was listening.

Zhang Xinru finally finished speaking, her mouth was so thirsty, and she still felt like she hadn't said enough. Then she glanced at the time.

"Oh dear, it's getting late, I have to go now..."

Xiao Shi chuckled softly, "Sister, then you should get some rest."

"Oh, right, I bought you some medicine and other things. It's too late today, so I'll have a delivery guy bring them to you tomorrow morning."

"Please forgive me, sister, for not being able to deliver it in person."

Zhang Xinru waved her hand sheepishly, "Oh, no need, it's just a minor injury. Besides, Dr. Zhao is here..."

When Xiao Shi heard Dr. Zhao's voice, she acted as if facing a formidable enemy and hurriedly interrupted her, "Sister, please don't refuse me, okay?"

When Zhang Xinru hears Xiao Shi's aggrieved voice, she thinks of those innocent big eyes and can't bring herself to refuse him.

"OK then!"

"Then it's settled. Get some rest, sister. Goodnight."

"Good night."

Just after I hung up the phone, Aunt Wang came in.

"Who are you talking to?"

Zhang Xinru put down her phone. "It was Xiao Shi who called, saying he would send us some medicine tomorrow."

Aunt Wang curled her lip, "With Dr. Zhao as a free doctor, why would I need him to deliver medicine? I might as well just transfer the money to me!"

Zhang Xinru was speechless. "Don't say that. Shi Xiao meant well."

"Didn't you ask Dr. Zhao to bandage you? Why is it taking so long?"

"It might be because you drank too much honey; you have a bit of diarrhea."

Zhang Xinru: "..."
