“I’ll come back to work tomorrow. I have something to do at home today, so I’ll go back first.” Wu Man had no choice but to go to her department supervisor’s office for the first time. She braced herself and asked for leave from the person in front of her.
The supervisor was very easy-going. “It’s fine. Since you’re here, I’ll count this day in for you. Anyway, there’s basically nothing to do in the department, so I’ll let you go.”
Wu Man thanked him profusely and walked out of the bank’s main entrance. After wandering around outside for a long time, she finally got a ride back to the Lin family in the afternoon. The moment she opened the door, an indescribable smell forced her to take half a step back. She had nowhere to hide, so she could only cover her mouth and nose. It took her a while to get used to it before she dared to step in.
It was hard to imagine that this was a place where people lived. Clothes were randomly thrown everywhere, and everywhere one looked, one could see messy clothes. There was even a smelly sock on the shoe cabinet. Just from the pungent smell, she could estimate that they had not washed for many days.
The kitchen was on the left-hand side of the door. There was no space for dirty dishes in the sink, and the area near the stove was full. The dishes from a few days ago had not been washed, and they were just stacked on top of each other. The plates at the bottom could be seen with the naked eye, and the oil stains on the plates had long solidified.
If she went any further… She did not dare to go any further. She had not even taken two steps when she saw a man’s shirt with some unknown dirty things stuck on it on the ground, and no one seemed to care. She looked up and saw that there was an unknown number of clothes on the ground. There was no way to get in.
Standing at the door and looking at the messy home, Wu Man laughed out of anger. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a pig’s nest.
Mother Lin was lying on the sofa watching television. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned around to take a look. When she saw Wu Man coming back, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. However, the emotions that followed were monstrous anger. This woman actually dared to go out for so many days without returning home. She didn’t know what shameful things she had done outside. She should have let her son break her legs and lock her up at home for the rest of her life!
“You actually know to come back!” Mother Lin picked up a handful of melon seeds and crunched them with a crisp sound. After she finished eating the melon seeds, she spat them out casually, “Pui, I don’t know what you’re doing outside every day. You’re even traveling. Why don’t you take a look at how much money you have in your pocket?”
Wu Man’s expression was solemn and she did not say a word. Lin Ziqian was really a good son. He had reported all of his situations to this woman.
“Seriously, a woman should stay at home and look after her husband and children. You don’t even have a son, so you have nothing to say. At the very least, you should take care of this house. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and clean up the pile of things on the ground!”
Wu Man took a deep breath. Judging from the degree of mess in this house, it would probably be a huge project to clean up all these things.
“Aren’t you going to do it yet? Are you waiting for me to do it for you?” Mother Lin rolled her eyes and spat out the melon seeds at Wu Man. “Just clean up the things on the ground. I don’t want anything from you. You don’t have to work hard for dinner tonight. Let’s go out and eat.”
Wu Man knew that she was not included in this.
“I hope you can clean up this place before we come back.” Before she left, Mother Lin held the door key and said to her proudly.
Wu Man’s return was undoubtedly good news. For Mother Lin, she finally did not have to face the dirty and messy house every day. After the Lin family left in a grandiose manner, Wu Man sneered at the empty, dirty, and messy house.
“Hello, is this the housekeeping company?”
Half an hour later, a housekeeping worker with a complete set of equipment stood in front of the Lin family’s door. Wu Man invited someone into the room and said, “The place is a little dirty. Thank you for your hard work..”
