Chapter 485 Saved 1 life
The woman in front of her had clear eyes and a calm expression, not panicking at all.
Even if she cried and made a fuss, the other party remained unmoved and just waited quietly.
When the aunt saw something bad, she wanted to run away. Xia Taozhi had locked the doors and windows of the living room long ago. She looked at the aunt coldly: "We will wait for the police to come and explain things clearly. If you have no problem, just leave." No one will stop you then.”
While the argument was ongoing, a police car pulled up outside.
When the aunt saw this, her legs went weak.
Xia Taozhi briefly explained the situation to the police. After that, she said: "I have a contract with this old gentleman, and I came to him to settle the remaining balance, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. "
The aunt cried sadly: "I don't care about my children, so why do you want to settle accounts with me? What did I do wrong?"
Xia Taozhi looked back: "Since you have received someone's salary, you should do things well. Even if you don't do it next month, there should be a lot of things to do this month. But how do you take care of the old man?" of?"
"Auntie, I advise you to stop struggling, otherwise I will support the old gentleman in suing you for abuse, and I will be the witness."
Auntie was speechless now.
After checking his identity, the police also supported Xia Taozhi.
After being criticized and educated by the police, the aunt finally gave in with her head hanging down and went upstairs to clean.
Looking at the dust on the handrail of the stairs, Xia Taozhi guessed that it had not been cleaned for a while, and her aunt alone might not be able to clean it up in a whole day.
She asked her aunt to clean up the old man's house, and she hired a few hourly workers to help, and finally the entire old house was cleaned out before two o'clock in the afternoon.
The sour smell in the air disappeared, replaced by a light fragrance.
The room was also cleaned and the bedding was replaced with new ones.
It's just that... the old gentleman was slumped on the recliner next to him, his eyes were unfocused, and he didn't seem to have much desire to live.
The aunt muttered: "Look, this guy is like this... It's not entirely my fault. He wouldn't eat anything I gave him before, or he would just drink some gruel. Forget it if he doesn't eat, he still fights It was everywhere, and I got angry and refused to take care of it."
Xia Taozhi sighed and led her aunt downstairs.
"Tell me, you often said that his children don't care about them. What's going on?"
Although this aunt is not broad-minded, she is relatively straightforward. Seeing that Xia Taozhi even hired part-time workers to help her, her dislike of this young woman is no longer as strong as it was at the beginning.
She said: "Hey, it wasn't a month ago. The old man in this family has three children, and they are all overseas now. That day they all came back to the old man to ask for a share of the family property, but for some reason, they didn't talk about it. Come on, there was a big quarrel in the study. All the old man’s things were robbed, and the three children left directly without even looking at them. "
As she said that, she shook her head repeatedly, "You are a poor person too. Look, you live in such a nice bungalow and have such unfilial children. Later, I contacted them and wanted them to settle the salary for the next quarter, but none of them None of them answered the phone, and the last one who answered the phone told me that they had gone abroad, and domestic affairs were not theirs to handle, and they had nothing to do, so I left this old guy to fend for himself."
The aunt sighed, "I'm also full of resentment. You saw this old man and refused to cooperate! I just live on a salary. How can I have so much love and energy to dedicate to him..."
If it weren't for the fear of killing someone, Auntie wouldn't even come every day.
Now that I'm fine, I thought I could leave after these few days, but I met Xia Taozhi.
I was even educated by the police.
The aunt looked gloomy and a little depressed.
Xia Taozhi felt emotional after hearing this.
Now that she has met, it is impossible to just sit idly by and ignore her. After all, Mr. Yan has helped her a lot.She was very grateful to the old gentleman for allowing her to sign so many debt contracts and allowing her to take away those two rare and valuable materials.
Without these two materials, the wedding dress designed by my mother would not be perfectly displayed.
Xia Taozhi lowered her eyes and quickly made a decision: "How much is your monthly salary?"
"Eight thousand a month, including food and housing." Auntie replied numbly.
"I will pay you a salary from now on, and you will be responsible for the cleaning here and the old man's three meals. If I find you being so passive and slacking on work again, it will not be as simple as calling the police."
Xia Taozhi's words made her aunt overjoyed.
If possible, she doesn't want to lose this job, which provides food and accommodation, and earns 8000 yuan in vain every month.She doesn't speak English, and she doesn't know how to bake snacks. She can only make home-cooked dishes. It's already pretty good to have such an income.
Now that everything has turned around, how can she not be happy?
Auntie nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Absolutely, how about you install a few more monitors here, Miss, to supervise my work at any time, and I will do a good job."
After finishing the surveillance, Xia Taozhi helped her aunt persuade Mr. Yan to drink a bowl of porridge, and then left with peace of mind.
After doing this, she realized that she had missed lunch.
She couldn't laugh or cry and bought a rice ball at a convenience store on the roadside. She managed to cope with it. When she got home, Xia Mingcheng was already preparing dinner.
Han Xiao sent her a message and a photo.
In the photo, Han Xiao is still in the conference room. He said he would be home two hours late.
The father and daughter had dinner first. After a busy day, Xia Taozhi was not very tired. She asked her father curiously: "Dad, you said that at the age of six or seventy, if there is no wife around and the children are indifferent, what will happen?" Aren’t you sad?”
Xia Mingcheng: "More than just sad? I simply have no desire to live. Think about it, in your old age, don't you just want a stable family and filial children? If you don't even have this, what's the point?"
Xia Taozhi's heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly remembered the scene when Mr. Yan drank the bowl of porridge cooperatively before leaving today. He didn't cry, vent his anger, or even resist.
"Dad, I'm going out." She realized something, finished her meal quickly, took her bag and rushed out of the door.
Racing all the way, she rushed to the door of the old bungalow and took out the spare key given to her by her aunt.
Rushing into the room, she smelled the smell of blood.
"Mr. Yan!!" Xia Taozhi's pupils tightened and she saw the old man lying on the floor with a pool of bright red around him.
The ambulance came and took the person to the hospital.
Xia Taozhi stood outside the door of the rescue room, her heart still beating wildly.
Fortunately, he had a flash of idea and realized something was wrong, otherwise Mr. Yan would have been completely cold by the time Auntie got up to cook tomorrow morning.
Her hands were trembling and she leaned against the wall. Her mind was confused at this moment.
The phone rang, it was Han Xiao.
"Where are you? Dad said you were in a hurry and went out. What happened?"
Hearing his voice, she couldn't help but want to cry: "Axiao, I'm in the hospital..."
