Maid's Survival Manual

Chapter 79 Abandonment
However, Manman didn't care too much—people who don't care about it have to be delicate and sensitive, like the sentimental sister Lin, who cares about everything, isn't that asking for trouble—Manman replied casually: "Yes. I worked as an errand in Liuyeyuan, your name is Shui Ling? Is the water pattern next to grandma your sister?"

Shui Ling really showed a proud expression, and said: "Of course, we are sisters..."

Manman smiled, wondering how long Shui Ling's sense of superiority could last for her.What happened to my sister?Manman has read countless novels by Zhai Dou Gong Dou, how many of them are sisters?

She said without much envy: "I really envy you. I heard that Shuiwen is the first-class celebrity by grandma's side?" Waiting for the girl?
Shui Ling didn't understand Manman's subtext at all, and said without humility: "My sister has been with grandma since she was a child, and she was trained by her wife. She understands grandma's preferences best, and naturally she has the most reliance on grandma."

If you want to talk about first-class celebrities, water lines are not really considered, after all, no one can surpass the concentration of tea.It's not that Shui Ling doesn't understand this truth, but she deceived Manman as a newcomer and had a little selfishness to show off, so she deliberately concealed this fact.

Manman suddenly laughed sincerely, and she looked at Shui Ling with a look of "envy me, please", half joking and half teasing: "That's great, the so-called near water tower, in the future you Just take care of me more."

After all, Shui Ling is just a little girl, just at the age of innocence, and there is a limit to how bad she can be, otherwise she would not be so real, so impatient to show off her backer.

Shui Ling snorted, and taught Manman a very mature lesson: "Those who take care of me or not are all slaves. If you want to live well, you have to rely on your own ability. I won't give you a chance to cling to me and trample on me. You If you want to be capable, go to Grandma and show your courtesy."

It seems that people in this era should not be underestimated. People like Shui Ling who seem to have no scheming are actually quite scheming, and no one will be taken advantage of in vain.

Manman nodded and said: "I didn't expect anyone to take care of me, but we are destined to be together under the same roof. You don't want to fight like a pair of black-eyed chickens when you see each other all day long?"

Shui Ling laughed, and said: "Are you afraid that I will bully you? You are really naive. Haven't you heard that dogs that bite people don't bark? The people who really bully you are those with a smile on their faces. A person like me who doesn't give you a good face in person is not very good for threatening you?"

Manman has to admit that she has been taught again. Although Shui Ling speaks bluntly, these principles are very simple.Manman doesn't think human nature is too bad, but she shouldn't have too much expectation. A fallen phoenix is ​​not as good as a chicken, so why should she expect others not to bully her?
Manman nodded towards Shui Ling, ending the topic.

They don't expect to be friends, and they don't want to be friends with each other. At present, such friends who are like water and friends who nod to each other are enough.

Shui Ling was full of curiosity about her, and asked: "You have lived well in Qiuyun Residence, why did you go to Qingxueyuan?"

Manman looked at her innocently, and thought: Can I tell the truth that I was kicked out by Chen Yunzheng?Of course not, so she said vaguely: "You also said that we are just the slaves of the master, so naturally we can go wherever the master tells us to go."

Shui Ling curled her lips and said, "You just don't enjoy the blessings. There is no one around Master Liu, and you still don't seize the opportunity. Really..." She had a "stupid" expression.

Manman was a little embarrassed and ashamed, which made Shui Ling more sure of her guess.Once Manman was incompetent, she lost interest in inquiring about her, and when the mother in charge called outside, she immediately left Manman and went to pick up the errand.

Manman is indeed a helper in the kitchen, in fact, he is just doing rough work.Stir-frying and cooking are all done by someone else, not to mention the cakes that the masters love to eat.

She is docile, kind and pleasant. Needless to say, she is very popular with the masters. When the subordinates see her, they will deliberately try to please her.Manman looked on coldly, although she was not jealous, she had to admit that for Tongfang, it was the wish of thousands of people to live to the point of Chunxian.

On the other hand, I was still ashamed as usual.She didn't like to wear rouge and powder in the first place. Chen Yunzheng was young, so he couldn't think of making bright clothes for her. Besides, with her status, she was naturally simple.When they arrived at Qingxueyuan, Mrs. Li treated her servants very generously, and Manman was lucky enough to get some new and not old bright clothes from Cha Nong and other big maids.

But the work she usually does is either lighting a fire or chopping wood to fetch water. Those flashy clothes can't help being scratched and dyed, and they will be completely useless after wearing them twice. Manman still wears the dusty clothes she brought with her before.

She stayed in the small kitchen of Qingxueyuan for three months.

The rumors have long been silenced, and she has not been able to get special care from the masters, so naturally everyone completely ignores her and treats her as the most inconspicuous girl in the kitchen.

What Li said at the beginning, "I will change it for you when I have a suitable position" was just a polite remark. Manman didn't have too much expectation, but during the dog days, she was fetching water and chopping firewood under the scorching sun, and her skin would be exposed to the sun. Skinned, I can't help but sigh from the bottom of my heart: When will such a day end?

In the past three months, she has not seen Chen Yunzheng once.While Manman despises herself, she still thinks, what made Chen Yunzheng make such a decision to completely abandon her?

She was puzzled.

But she has to admire that there is nothing impossible for a man to be ruthless. If Chen Yunzheng knows that she knows that her situation in the past and now is like heaven and hell, will he laugh his teeth out of joy, and then let go of his hatred? Call her "serve it right"?
But since Chen Yunzheng abandoned her, it meant that he no longer cared about her life and death, so naturally he had no way of knowing the little remorse in her heart, and of course there was no chance to relieve her hatred.

Manman didn't know whether to be lucky or not.

She was soaking her face in cold water when Mama Liu, who was in charge of the kitchen, came over and said, "Su Manman, Grandma told you to come over. It just so happened that you brought this rock sugar lotus seed soup to Grandma on the way."

In the past three months, Manman has not seen Chen Yun and Li Shi, but today is the first time.Manman complied, and carefully carried the tray to the outside of Mrs. Li's main room under the scorching hot sun of July.

Watermark came out from the inside, looked at Manman, frowned in disgust, took the tray, wiped it again and again with the handkerchief, and was afraid that the handkerchief would be thrown away, so he turned and walked in, muttering in a low voice: "The people in this small kitchen are too careless, why did they ask such a person to deliver food to Grandma..."

Manman backed away with a wry smile. Fortunately, this is a veranda, so it doesn't need to be baked by the sun.She waited for two cups of tea before she heard the strong tea tell everyone to leave, and a little girl called Manman in.

As soon as he entered the room, Manman felt a chill in his heart.This coolness was different from the dampness of the wing she lived in, but a dry and pleasant coolness, which made her breathe out involuntarily, and all the cold pores on her body opened up, enjoying the rare coolness greedily.

Mrs. Li raised her eyes and glanced at Manman, gave a surprised surprise, and said to Cha Nong, "Didn't you tell Su Manman to come in? Where did this dusty wild girl come from? Why is everyone calling in the house?" ?”

Cha Nong suppressed a smile, ignored the embarrassment on Manman's face, and said, "Grandma, this is Su Manman."

Only then did Mrs. Li deliberately look at it for a while, and said with a smile: "My eyesight is stupid, Manman, where did you come from? How did you get into such a mess?"

If it wasn't for the reminder from the strong tea, she really wouldn't have recognized that this was Su Manman.In the past, Su Manman, who was calm and temperamental and could be distinguished at a glance, would have fallen into such a vulgar and dirty fire-burning girl, which made Li Shi really feel a little incredible, and at the same time a little happy.

It's just that she didn't pay attention to it for three months, and she fought back and forth in the mud several times. I really should let the uncle see it with his own eyes. Will he still have a different kind of affection for Su Manman?
However, this Su Manman's ambition is not ordinary, thanks to her being expensive and not arrogant, and not being discouraged by being cheap, she was able to bear it.

Manman stepped forward to salute, and said calmly: "The slave girl rushed over immediately after getting grandma's order. I didn't have time to change and disturbed grandma. Please don't blame grandma."

Li Shi said: "You're offended by what you said. To put it mildly, I am very loose. In fact, I like to see everyone dressed up beautifully. I feel comfortable looking at it myself? Cha Nong, you go I found a few skirts in the suitcase that I don’t wear very much, and I will ask Manman to take them back later.” She joked with Manman again: “Otherwise, if the uncle and the sixth master meet, you will blame me for neglecting Miss Manman.”

Manman didn't think it was funny, and had nothing to say back, so she just lowered her head and declined politely: "My servant, thank you for your kindness, I am ashamed to be rewarded for nothing..."

Oh, hey, don't reward me with those flashy materials, they will be ruined within a quarter of an hour if you wear them on your body, you don't feel sorry for those rare materials, I am not willing to let people hold the pigtails and say that I don't know how to cherish blessings Thank you.

"Slaves do rough work, and they are always clumsy. They have ruined good materials and clothes, and even ruined Grandma's intentions..." She can think whatever she likes, since she is telling the truth anyway.Manman dare to swear to God, she has no intention of using this to coerce Li Shi to move her a nest.Although the people in the kitchen spoke harshly, sneered a few words from time to time, avenged private revenge from time to time, and gave her more hard work, but at any rate, she had experienced the methods used by the people there, and she felt that they were not enough. I really don't want to change places.
