Chapter 2 - Clothes Will Wrinkle (1/2)

“What are you dazing for? Put all your clothes in the wardrobe!”

Ah Ling urged her. “I’ll get you a uniform so that you can change your clothes.” She added.

Du Xiaoxian turned to look at her with an embarrassing smile. She whispered: “Thank you, Sister Ah Ling.”

When Ah Ling brought her the uniform, Du Xiaoxian had paced all her clothes in the wardrobe. She didn’t have much clothes, and they only occupied a small corner of the wardrobe.

Ah Ling pulled the curtains around the bed and asked Du Xiaoxian to change her clothes. She sat on the chair at the table, telling her the rules and terms of employment: maids got up at six in the morning; they could only use the public restrooms. Breakfast was at 6:30, lunch at 11:00, and dinner at 5:00. If you were late, there would be no dishes.

You could take one day off each week: you could stay in the room or hang out. On your birthday, the master and the lady would give you red envelopes. During the Spring Festival, you would receive red envelopes not only from the master and the lady, but also from the young master and young lady….

Ah Ling added, all the Gu’s family were good people and easy to get along with, especially the kindhearted lady, who chanted prayers and meditated every day in the family Buddha Hall, not daring to trample even an ant.

The master was ill and always taking medicine.

The young lady was lively and cheerful. She worked at the television station, and was seldom at home.

The young master was a good man as well, but he was too busy. He did not talk or laugh a lot, and was a little bit weird. So, it would be better not to hang around before him.

Uncle Xiao was the fairest person. Tell him when you felt you were unfairly treated.

Anyway, as long as you did a good job here, you could live comfortably.

Du Xiaoxian listened to Ah Ling carefully as she was changing clothes, and kept all her words in mind.
