Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 86 Li Caijiao

"Why are you so irritable? You look so gentle and polite." Xiao Chen looked pitiful. A-Zu was so angry that he clenched his fists.

Seeing this, the old woman quickly pulled Xiao Chen over to prevent Grandpa from really hitting him. "Xiao Chen, come here, I want to talk to you." She persuaded him patiently, "You are welcome to work in our house. We will treat you as a family member. We will not look down on you or treat you unfairly. Since you call us two old guys grandpa and grandma, we will also treat you as our granddaughter."

The old lady meant that we were all family, so there was no need to worry about doing more work, but Xiao Chen didn't understand. She said happily, "Okay, okay, if that's the case, it would be great, just like Tianxiu, who doesn't have to work every day."

"I am also a granddaughter now, so I don't have to work anymore, right?" I don't know if this Xiao Chen is really stupid or just pretending to be crazy. She actually wants the same treatment as Tianxiu.

The old man simply said, "Xiao Chen, since we treat you as a family, why don't you just do more and not be so fussy, okay?"

"Grandpa, that's not right." Xiao Chen was still serious, "Your concept is too old-fashioned."

"Why is it so old-fashioned?" Kang Qirui said. He also wanted to hear what advanced ideas were.

"It's clearly written in the contract that we are in an employment relationship. Since you pay me to work, of course I have to do a good job." Xiao Chen talked freely, "But things outside the contract, such as being like a family, only show that the labor-capital relationship is harmonious, and it can't be a reason for me to work more."

It must be said that Xiao Chen's reasoning is indeed complete, and you can't say she is wrong, you can only say she is too rigid. The Kang family can't hire a nanny and have to cook for Tianxiu alone, right?

So Kang Qirui said, "Okay, Xiao Chen, you can go now. You are not very suitable to work in our house."

"No, I am protected by the labor law. You can't fire me just because you want to." Xiao Chen immediately disagreed.

"We will settle your salary and compensation in accordance with the Labor Law. We fire you and the law has to do with it." Kang Qirui said that the law does not prohibit the dismissal of employees, but only stipulates corresponding compensation clauses.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen burst into tears, "You guys are bullying a girl like me." Kang Qirui signaled A Zu to deal with her, and A Zu had to pull Xiao Chen away, "Xiao Chen, come with me, don't cry."

"I just asked you to find a nanny, but one or two can't do it well, is it that difficult?" After Xiao Chen was sent away by A Zu, the old father sighed. "A Chan, why don't you go find one?" The old mother felt that her sons were not reliable, and the second sister-in-law was more reliable.

The second sister-in-law was embarrassed when she heard this. She didn't know where to find a nanny. "What about me? I can only go to a housekeeping company like my fourth uncle did."

Kang Qirui recalled that the second sister-in-law seemed to have found a college student who couldn't cook. He thought about it and said to the second brother, "Second brother, do you remember the hourly worker you hired last time? I think she's pretty good. She cooks delicious food and works efficiently."

Before, when the mother went back to the countryside and the old man was injured, the Kang family hired a part-time worker, who was very good at cooking and doing housework, but the old man drove her away because he thought it was too expensive. At this time, the old man also remembered, "Hey, that one is really good, and the cooking skills are really good."

"Li Caijiao? I remember her name." Er Lao recalled, "I'll go to the Women's Federation later." He found a part-time worker at the Women's Federation last time. Seeing that she didn't have to find a nanny herself, Er Lao naturally agreed. That afternoon, Er Lao called Li Caijiao back to the Kang family to be a nanny. Li Caijiao was also a very honest person and started working immediately. Several hard dishes were cooked for dinner. Everyone in the Kang family said that they were very delicious and very satisfied. This meant that the probation period was over. Er Lao took Li Caijiao to the living room to discuss the salary. Everyone else was very full today and went to the patio garden to relax. Kang Qirui followed Li Caijiao out because he also had something to discuss with Li Caijiao.

"Ah Jiao, let me tell you something. You work for me and I'll give you fifteen hundred yuan a month, including food and accommodation. If it's ok, you can move in tonight. The innermost room is yours." The second brother said directly without wasting time.

Li Caijiao's hourly rate is 6 yuan per hour, so 1,500 yuan means she works five hours a day for 30 consecutive days, and that's before deducting the cost of transportation and food. This salary is already very generous, and I thought Li Caijiao would agree immediately, but I heard Li Caijiao's embarrassed voice, "Second Master, can I not live here?"

"It's like this, I have five children to take care of, so I can't sleep at your Kang house. But don't worry, I will come here early in the morning every day, and then go back after cleaning up at night." Li Caijiao quickly explained.

"Sister Jiao, how old are your children?" Kang Qirui asked.

"Fifth Young Master, my eldest daughter is 15 years old and in junior high school, the youngest is only 4 years old and is still in kindergarten, and the other three are still in elementary school. So I only need to go back at night, and my eldest and second daughter will take care of their younger siblings during the day." Li Caijiao emphasized that she did not need to be distracted by taking care of the children during the day, and she mainly wanted to stay in the Kang family to work.

"Yeah." Kang Qirui continued to ask: "Are they all going to school nearby? Are you renting a house now?" Kang Qirui asked this just to confirm. After all, the second brother was able to find her at the Women's Federation here, so she must live nearby.

Li Caijiao nodded as expected, "Yes, they are all here. We don't have the money to buy a house."

Kang Qirui had a plan. He said directly, "My mother-in-law lives next door to Mrs. Zhu. She lives alone and has four rooms. Here's what I'm thinking. In addition to living in our house, you can also be responsible for preparing her meals and doing housework. Then you and your children can move into her house. The rent and your children's meals will be enough to cover your salary there. How do you think?"

Li Caijiao thought to herself: My current rent is 350 yuan, and the children's meals usually cost 300 or 400 yuan, which means my salary there is 700 yuan, which is enough. She agreed without hesitation, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, thank you, Mr. Wu." She was really satisfied. Usually, she worked as an hourly worker, and the money she earned was nothing after paying rent and meals, and she couldn't even buy clothes for her children. Now, she and her children are provided with food and accommodation, and she can still get 1500 yuan.

"Will Miss Zhu agree?" The second brother pulled Kang Qirui over and whispered.

"Don't worry, don't I know my mother-in-law well? She will definitely agree." Kang Qirui replied. Usually the children go to school, and Mrs. Zhu is not at home, gossiping and chatting outside every day. So it doesn't affect the children to move in at all. She has absolutely no objection to someone cooking and doing housework for her for free.

Kang Qirui took Li Caijiao to Zhu's house and told Mrs. Zhu about the matter. Sure enough, Mrs. Zhu agreed without hesitation. What's wrong with a lively atmosphere? She was afraid that it wouldn't be lively. The house was lively, and she didn't have to do the three meals and housework herself. She could go out and chat with people when she was free, and go home to eat at a certain time. What a wonderful life, so she agreed without any pressure.

After Li Caijiao left, Kang Qirui remembered what he wanted to talk to her about, and hurriedly chased after her, "Jiaojie, wait a moment." He took out five hundred yuan and handed it to Jiaojie, "Here is five hundred yuan. In addition to the food allowance my mother gives you every month, this is extra money from me. My wife is pregnant, so try to buy some nutritious vegetables and make more soups. Tell me when you've used it up."

"Okay, okay." Li Caijiao took the money and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Master, I will make sure to make your wife fat and white."

Kang Qirui waved his hand and went home. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the second brother talking to everyone about Li Caijiao's family situation. The old nanny said, "Alas, a woman with five children is quite pitiful. Everyone should be nicer to others and try to help as much as possible." The old nanny was still very kind to everyone.
