Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Did you steal the wine?"

That night, when the second sister-in-law came back from taking a bath and was watching TV with everyone, she suddenly smelled a smell of alcohol. She frowned and looked at the second brother and asked. The second brother rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Are you crazy? Do you have any wine for me?"

"Then why do you smell like alcohol?" The second sister-in-law sniffed the second brother and insisted.

"You say I stole the alcohol because I smelled it. What kind of logic is that?" Er Lao laughed angrily. "Smell it carefully. How can I smell alcohol? Are you stupid?"

When the second sister-in-law wanted to say something, the eldest brother stood up and said, "To be honest, I smell a lot of alcohol, too."

"Hey, hey, is he stupid too?" The second sister-in-law pointed at the eldest brother and asked the second brother. The second brother nodded as a matter of course, "He is stupid!"

"No, I'm not stupid, but I also smell alcohol." Xianglan also said so. Just as she finished speaking, a weak voice came from the door: "Is there any water to drink?"

Everyone hurried out to see that it was A Yao who was lying at the door, dazed and asking for water. It turned out that the smell of alcohol came from A Yao. Everyone quickly pulled him up and brought him into the living room and laid him on the sofa. Sachiko was taking care of him, while Aunt Gui went to the kitchen and made some sobering tea. "Come and drink it."

After Sachiko helped him up and fed him the drink, Ayao regained some of his sanity. He murmured, "It's all that Amon's fault. He insisted on drinking. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and we are all drunk."

Just as Sachiko was about to say something to him, Aunt Gui spoke up first, "Ayao, alcohol is harmful in every way, and you're still drinking like this. You're a civil servant after all, and it's embarrassing to be seen drunk and drunk."

"I understand, Aunt Gui." A Yao said and lay down on the sofa again, looking at Sachiko and said, "Why didn't you scold me when I was drunk?"

Sachiko snorted inwardly, and said in a strange tone: "No need, Aunt Gui has already said everything I want to say, just listen to Aunt Gui."

"Then do you know that you are wrong?" Aunt Gui continued.

"I know I was wrong, I won't do it again." Although A Yao felt something was wrong, he still agreed. Aunt Gui saw that A Yao admitted his mistake, so she turned to Tian Xiu and said, "Tian Xiu, you too, stop watching TV, have you finished your homework?"

"You'll be able to do it after you read it." Tianxiu said casually impatiently.

If it was Auntie Dou or Auntie Ersao, they would let him finish watching TV before going back to do his homework. But Auntie Gui didn't indulge him. She snatched the remote control from Tianxiu's hand and turned off the TV. "How can you study well if you watch TV without doing your homework? Go in and do your homework, be good." She pulled Tianxiu up and pushed him back to his room.

After Tianxiu went in, Aunt Gui turned the TV back on, but she turned the volume down to the minimum. She said, "Everyone in the living room, please turn down the volume when watching TV. Don't disturb Tianxiu's studies. If you don't like the low volume, just go back to your room and close the door to watch."

Zhu Wanling saw all of Aunt Gui's work and praised her, "Aunt Gui, someone like you can't be considered a nanny. You should be called a housekeeper, and a super housekeeper that you can't even find with a lantern."

Aunt Gui smiled and went to work without saying anything. After she went in, the second sister-in-law whispered to Zhu Wanling: "You are still praising her? Don't you think she is a little inappropriate?"

"Not right?" Zhu Wanling didn't understand. She asked in confusion, "No! Everything is fine. It can be said to be impeccable."

"That's why it's a bit inappropriate. Think about it, she's a human being, how can a human being be impeccable? Human beings have their own strengths and weaknesses, their own strengths and weaknesses." The second sister-in-law said nervously, "Look at Aunt Gui, she's not very poor, why would she come to our house to be a nanny? Her children are all working, and none of them are bad. Why would she not enjoy her blessings and only suffer?"

Zhu Wanling and Xingzi were both stunned, but they had to admit that what the second sister-in-law said was indeed reasonable. Kang Qirui waved his hand and said with a smile: "What's so strange? Let's not talk about Aunt Gui. If you don't let our old maid do some work and let her sleep after eating every day, she won't be used to it."

As everyone was chatting, Aunt Gui came out again and said, "Grandpa, do you remember what you are going to do tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "My car needs an oil change, waxing, and refueling. What's wrong?" "Oh, you only think about the car. I mean you, Paul." Aunt Gui glanced at Grandpa and said unhappily, "Remember to take your son Paul to get vaccinated tomorrow. I passed by the street when I was buying groceries today. There was a notice posted there saying that vaccinations will only be given tomorrow. If you miss it, you'll have to go to the hospital to get it yourself. Remember tomorrow."

A-Zu and Diana looked at each other, neither of them noticed this. He hurriedly thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt Gui, you are so smart. I will definitely remember it!" The second sister-in-law couldn't stand it anymore, she snorted and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, when she woke up, she saw A Yao and Xiang Lan searching the house for something. She couldn't help but ask what they were looking for. When she learned that the change they had left in the living room was missing, she said sarcastically, "That's a big deal. You look for the money, and you look for the money too. We've never heard of anyone losing money before, right?"

"Second sister-in-law, you want to say yes." Xianglan frowned and the second sister-in-law nodded affirmatively, "Yes, yes, let's go and talk to grandma about this."

The second sister-in-law brought A Yao Xianglan to the nanny's room and told the nanny about the lost money and her guess. The nanny shook her head and said, "A Gui? It definitely can't be her. I have known her for decades. She was a good person when she was young. How could she do such a thing?"

"That's hard to say. As the saying goes, you can't know a person's heart by his appearance. You have good character, but not everyone has good character." The second sister-in-law still insisted on her guess, "You also said that you haven't seen her for six or seven years. People will change, grandma."

The mother still didn't believe it. "Anyway, I don't believe it. Everyone has seen Ah Gui come to our house these few days. How could she be that kind of person?"

A Yao thought for a moment and said, "In fact, if you want to know whether a person has good character, you can just test her and you will know." When the second sister-in-law heard about the test, she became excited. She took out a hundred yuan in loose change and placed it in various corners of the house, deliberately testing Aunt Gui.

Aunt Gui came out of the kitchen after finishing her work and saw the change in various corners. She naturally took it and put it in her pocket. Everyone who was secretly observing saw it clearly, and the second sister-in-law was even more proud. She said proudly: "See? Be on guard day and night, but you can't guard against thieves in your own house."

"Mom, this really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance." Xianglan didn't believe it at first, but she had just seen it with her own eyes, so she couldn't help but believe it.

The mother also looked disappointed. She and her second sister-in-law Xianglan and Ayao came to the living room together, intending to fire Aunt Gui when she came out. At this time, Kang Qirui also walked out of the living room with his bag, saying as he walked, "Who has change? I can't find any change. I'm planning to take a bus to the Education Examination Institute today."

"Mr. Rui, you always take the car? Why don't you drive today?" A Yao asked. Kang Qirui replied casually, "My mother-in-law said she was not feeling well yesterday. Wanling drove her to the hospital for a checkup today, so I took the car."

"Looking for change? Of course I can't find it. All the change has gone into someone's bag." The second sister-in-law said with a wry smile. Kang Qirui didn't understand, and when he asked her what she meant, Aunt Gui came out with a jar.

"The change is all here. You usually leave the change everywhere, and I don't know whose it belongs to, so I put them all together. When you need change in the future, just take it from here." Aunt Gui put the coin jar on the table and said.

The maid realized that she had almost wronged Aunt Gui. She hurriedly said, half apologetically and half gratefully, "Ah Gui, you are so thoughtful."

Aunt Gui had no idea what was going on. She just waved her hand and went back to work. Kang Qirui didn't have time to chat with everyone. He took a few dollars from the piggy bank and went out. He received a notice the day before yesterday to attend a meeting at the Education Examination Institute today to participate in the selection of this year's college entrance examination question setters.

Of course, things won't be settled so quickly. It will take several rounds of meetings and multiple rounds of screening to determine the final question-setting group. After three stages of learning, namely centralized training, practical operation and assessment, the final closed question-setting will be carried out before the college entrance examination. The questions will be set according to the exam outline and with reference to mock papers from various places. Therefore, Kang Qirui didn't dare to say that he would be selected in the end, so he didn't mention this to his family.

"We suspected it for a long time, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding." Xianglan said with some guilt. A Yao also sighed and said, "I do feel a little guilty when I think about it."

Only the second sister-in-law lowered her head and said nothing. Madam Xianglan and Ayao all looked at her. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "You can't blame us for thinking this way. One said the money wasn't there, and the other said the money wasn't there. I was thinking that it had never been like this before, so why didn't it appear this time? It's normal to think more about this situation, right?"

Seeing that his second sister-in-law was still being stubborn, A Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes. However, after thinking about it carefully, he said with a puzzled look on his face: "Since Aunt Gui is so clean and has a good family background, why does she have to work so hard as a nanny in our house? Even if you feel bored at home, you can just go out and have some fun."

"Really? You think so too, right?" Second sister-in-law said: "So it's really no wonder that I started thinking that way. This matter is really too unbelievable and can't be explained by common sense." (End of this chapter)
