Sunday morning. It was a sunny day.
Dong Xuebing was sweeping the living room lazily with a broom. If he doesn't clean up now, his house will become a pigsty.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's house phone rang, and he answered it. It was the security at the entrance. "Hello, Chief Dong. There are two Yu Meixia and her daughter outside. They are looking for you. Can you …" If Yu Meixia and her daughter had walked into the house, the security guard will not stop them. But the mother and daughter are acting suspiciously at the entrance of the house. Sometimes, they are looking into the house, and sometimes, they are pacing back and forth. It is very suspicious.
Dong Xuebing thought to himself. Why are they here? He said. "Tell them the house number and let them in."
"Yes."
After a while, the doorbell rang.
Dong Xuebing switched the broom to his left hand and opened the door. "How did you two find this place?"
Yu Meixia was still wearing her dirty blue jeans and gray T-shirt, and Yu Qianqian was wearing a dirty middle school uniform. Yu Meixia held her daughter's hand tightly and said softly. "I asked around, and they told me this is the Public Security Bureau's dormitory. Chief Dong, we … we are here to thank you. This is … some fruits." She was holding onto a plastic bag with some apples and oranges.
"Thank you. Come in first." Dong Xuebing opened the door and let them in. "How are you feeling?"
Yu Meixia put down the fruits and replied. "I am fine now."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "In the future, don't force yourself if you are sick. Qianqian was so scared yesterday. You are not a good mother. Haha …" Dong Xuebing saw Yu Meixia's red eyes and felt guilty. He is used to scolding people, and his words had gotten out of hand. "Err … Let's not talk about this. What tea do you want? Oh, we don't have any tea leaves. How about water? "
Yu Meixia quickly waved her hand. "Don't bother. We … we will leave now. We will not disturb you."
Dong Xuebing poured two glasses of water for them. "I am not working today. Come, sit down and rest."
Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian held hands and stood in the living room. "We can stand."
"Hurry up and sit down. What's the point of standing?"
Yu Meixia lowered her head. "Our clothes are dirty, and we are afraid … afraid that your sofa …"
Dong Xuebing purposely put on a straight face. "Are you sitting or not?"
"This … let's sit, sit."
Yu Meixia saw Dong Xuebing was unhappy and quickly pulled her daughter to the sofa. Yu Qianqian hugged her mother's arm and looked around enviously. She looked at the LCD TV, the chandelier, and the leather sofa. Yu Meixia quickly grabs her daughter's dirty hand off the sofa. She quickly picks up the corner of her daughter's shirt and left handprints on the sofa. "Chief Dong, I'm sorry. My daughter is still young."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "You all … can you all stop being so tense? Relax, relax. "
Yu Meixia, Yu Qianqian, and Yu Meixia could not act casually. Their bodies were stiff and did not know what to say. After Chief Dong left the hospital yesterday, Yu Meixia swore to repay Dong Xuebing. But Chief Dong is a high-ranking official and can get anything he wants. He does not need her to repay him. Yu Meixia thought for a while and looked at Dong Xuebing gratefully. "I will think of a way to return the 210,000 RMB to you. I will look for a job in the afternoon."
Dong Xuebing shook his head. "Never mind. Just enjoy your life."
"How can we do that? Thank you for your great kindness, we …"
"Stop talking about this."
Yu Meixia paused for a while and noticed a broom and a handful of dirt by the door. She stood up and ran over. "I will sweep the floor for you!"
Yu Qianqian blinked and picked up the cloth to wipe the coffee table.
Dong Xuebing was speechless. "What are you two doing? Put it down. Don't mind me. I will sweep the floor myself later."
Yu Meixia ignored Yu Qianqian and started to sweep the living room. She will feel uncomfortable if she does not do anything for Chief Dong. Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia and knew it was useless to say anything. He grabbed the rag from Yu Qianqian's hands and showed her a cartoon channel. Yu Qianqian tried to snatch it from Dong Xuebing, but she could not win against him. She could only look at the LCD TV, and the more she looks at it, the more excited she is. Her eyes are wide open as if she had never seen a TV before.
After a while, Yu Meixia finished sweeping the living room and even used a mop to wipe the floor.
Dong Xuebing said. "Sister Yu, take a rest. Thank you."
Yu Meixia had no intention to rest. She looked at the closed bedroom door and said. "I will also sweep your two bedrooms. Errr … is your husband in your room?"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "I am not married and am living alone."
Yu Meixia paused for a second. "… what do you do for dinner every day?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "Sometimes I cook, and sometimes I go out to eat."
Yu Meixia thought of something and lowered her head. Suddenly, she looked at Dong Xuebing timidly and opened her mouth to say something. But in the end, she mustered up her courage and said. "Chief Dong, I … I am not educated or capable. But I can cook and do some household chores. You … if you don't mind, I … I can be your helper. I promise you will be satisfied."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. Helper?
Yu Meixia quickly replied. "I can come over every morning to prepare breakfast and make your bed. After you leave, I will clean up your house and wash your clothes. If you return home for lunch, I will buy groceries and cook for you. Err … as for your salary, you can pay me at 1,000 … no, 800 RMB. But I don't want money. I just want to return your 210,000 RMB as soon as possible. You can deduct my salary from this amount. What do you think …"
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Didn't I say you don't need to repay me? 800 RMB a month. You will need to work for the rest of your life to repay me."
Yu Meixia bit her lips. "Then I will work for you for the rest of my life." Dong Xuebing blushed. Work for you for the rest of your life? Yu Meixia saw Dong Xuebing's expression and blushed. "No … no … then I … I will be your helper for the rest of my life." Dong Xuebing cleared his throat.
Ever since he came to Yan Tai County, Qu Yunxuan is not by his side, and his mother does not visit him often. There is no one to wash his clothes and cook for him. Yesterday, Qin Yong suggested him to hire a helper, and Dong Xuebing also had this thought. But his position is special, and he cannot just hire a helper from the streets. Dong Xuebing is worried about his secrets. Yu Meixia seems to be a good choice. Although she is weak and cries easily, she has a good character. Yu Meixia's only shortcoming is her beauty.
Yu Meixia looks at Dong Xuebing. "If you think I am clumsy, just pretend I did not say anything. I …"
"That's not it." Dong Xuebing thought for a while and thought to himself. I am too high profile, and I can't keep a low profile anymore. They can say whatever they want. "Actually, even if you don't mention it, I also want to hire a helper. Sometimes, I am too busy to take care of my family. Since you want to hire a helper, I will not mistreat you. Ok … let's set the monthly salary at 3,000 RMB, and 1,000 RMB will be deducted from your monthly salary."
Yu Meixia quickly said. "No … it's too much. Most helpers are paid 1,000 RMB."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Can other helpers get the same salary as me?"
Yu Meixia thought for a while and agreed. Qin Yong is a leader of the Public Security Bureau. "But Chief Dong, I know you are trying to help me, but 3,000 RMB is too much."
Dong Xuebing laughed and shook his head. "Don't think it's easy to get money. This is the Public Security Bureau's quarters, and whatever you say or do, you must mind your manners. If you say something wrong, I will not let you off."
Yu Meixia sighed. "Thank you."
Dong Xuebing asked. "Where are you two staying now?"
"… I had checked out of the hotel, and … I don't know."
Dong Xuebing nodded and points to the bedroom next door. "Then you and Qianqian can stay in this room."
"How can I do that?" Yu Meixia's eyes turned red. She knew Chief Dong is helping them again. "We can just rent a room nearby."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Forget it. I am worried about the two of you staying outside. Furthermore, the housekeepers now take care of your meals and accommodation, and I am not an exception. Just stay here, and you two can pack up your rooms and bring in your luggage. That's settled."
Within two days, Yu Meixia and Yu Qianqian had gone from hell to heaven. Yu Meixia did not expect Chief Dong to help them pay off their debts and even give them a job and a place to stay. Their monthly salary is enough for them to live in the County. They do not need to pay rent, and they are provided with food and lodging. This is … Yu Meixia sniffled and almost cried.
Dong Xuebing said helplessly. "Sister Yu, you are in your thirties. Why are you crying so often?"
Yu Meixia wiped her tears with her sleeve and nodded. She turned around and hugged her daughter in her arms. "Qianqian, we don't need to sleep on the streets anymore. Hurry and kowtow to Chief Dong." Yu Qianqian's eyes turned red and wanted to kneel down with her mother.
Dong Xuebing gave them a stare. "Don't do this!"
Yu Meixia hesitated and did not dare to kneel again.
Dong Xuebing calmed down and called Yu Qianqian over. He patted the empty space beside him and asked her to sit down. "You are in Junior High now and should be a big girl. Don't listen to your mother. Just call me Big Brother in the future. Also, you can watch TV or play computer games here. If your mother does not allow you to touch the TV, you can tell me secretly, and I will scold her. Do you understand?"
Yu Qianqian nodded. "Thank you, Big Brother."
Dong Xuebing passed the remote control to Yu Meixia. "Alright. Watch cartoons by yourself." He stood up. "Sister Yu, come with me."
Yu Meixia followed Dong Xuebing into the master bedroom.
Dong Xuebing rummaged through a drawer and took out a key for her. "This is the spare key for our house. Qianqian should also have one. Just don't lose it. Oh, and …" He took out a stack of cash from another drawer. "This is 5,000 RMB. It is for our food and other expenses this month. You can take care of the groceries and other necessities. I will not worry about you in the future. Don't be afraid of spending money. You can ask me for more after you finish spending this money."
Yu Meixia took the money hesitantly. "We can't eat 5,000 RMB a month. This is too much. I think 2,000 RMB should be enough …"
Dong Xuebing looked at Yu Meixia's voluptuous body. "I know it is not enough to eat. Use the remaining 2,000 to 3,000 RMB to buy some clothes and shoes for you and your daughter. Also, buy some daily necessities like toothbrushes and toothpaste. I don't have any necessities for you and your daughter."
Yu Meixia looked at her dirty shoes and clothes and blushed. She did not reject Dong Xuebing's kindness and kept the money. As Dong Xuebing's housekeeper, she knows her priority is not to do housework or cook. She must not embarrass Dong Xuebing and make him look bad. This is the most important thing now.
Ring … ring … ring … Dong Xuebing's phone rang.
It's the Office Director, Hu Silian. She told Dong Xuebing that there is an urgent meeting at the command center to discuss the case. After hanging up, Dong Xuebing said to Yu Meixia. "Alright. Go and buy some clothes. I need to return to the County Bureau for lunch."
Yu Meixia sent Dong Xuebing out. "Be careful on your way back."
One hour …
Two hours …
The County Bureau was discussing an abduction and child trafficking case. This case is not under Dong Xuebing's jurisdiction, and he only attended the meeting. After the meeting ended, Dong Xuebing passed on the Bureau's leader's instructions to Hui Tian Village Station and asked them to take precautions and investigate if there are any leads on this criminal organization. Dong Xuebing packed his things and took a taxi back to the Bureau's quarters.
The key entered the door, and the door opened.
The moment Dong Xuebing entered the room, he could smell the fragrance of shampoo coming from the bathroom. Dong Xuebing turned around and saw someone is showering in the bathroom. There are a few women's clothes on the sofa, and Yu Meixia must have bought them. But Dong Xuebing did not see the packaging of the clothes. He reached out to touch the fabric of the clothes and shook his head. He knew Yu Meixia is not willing to spend money on these clothes. These clothes should not be bought from the shopping malls and should be bought from some roadside stalls.
Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette and crossed his legs as he watched the news.
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing heard a mother and daughter talking in the bathroom.
"Mum, what is this small bottle? It's so sticky. "
"I think it's something used to fix hair. The label says it's gel. People in the city might use this to comb their hair."
"Have you used it before?"
"I had not used it before. We are poor and do not have the money to buy this. Qianqian, put it down. I will scrub your back for you. We must not embarrass Chief Dong." After a while, the sound of the shower stopped. "Alright. It's so clean. Come, put on your new clothes."
"Mum, this dress is so beautiful. I … what if I get it dirty?"
"I will wash it for you if it gets dirty. Come, raise your hands up high, and I will help you put it on."
"I … I still have not put on the tank top."
"Oh, I forgot. It's on the sofa. Wait for me to get it for you."
Suddenly, the toilet door was opened from the inside, and Dong Xuebing looked towards the door. The next moment, he smelled something hot in his nose, and a fire started burning in his heart. Yu Meixia walked out of the bathroom without her long johns, and her hair was wet. She was only wearing a pink long johns and a pair of white briefs. Other than that, she was not wearing anything else, and her voluptuous thighs were exposed in front of Dong Xuebing.
Yu Meixia was about to walk towards the sofa to get her daughter's underwear when she saw Dong Xuebing smoking in the bathroom. Her face turned red. "Dong … Chief Dong, you are back … Ah!" She hastily covered her nether regions in embarrassment and angrily ran to the toilet. Looking from behind, her two fleshy buttocks were swaying back and forth, looking extremely charming. After the bathroom door was closed, Yu Meixia said shyly. "I … I don't know you are back so early. Chief Dong, I'm sorry for using the bathroom without your permission."
Dong Xuebing was also embarrassed. "Err … it's alright." He did not notice Yu Meixia's figure when she is wearing her clothes.
When Yu Meixia came out of the bathroom, she was already wearing her jacket and pants. She did not dare to look at Dong Xuebing in his eyes and quickly went to the sofa to pick up her daughter's clothes. She went back to the bathroom to help Yu Qianqian change. After a while, the mother and daughter walked out of the bathroom hand in hand. Yu Meixia was wearing black tights and a casual shirt, and Yu Qianqian was wearing a long dress. One is voluptuous, and the other is skinny.
Dong Xuebing is in a daze. Not only are they beautiful, but their faces are also almost the same. "Not bad."
Yu Meixia said softly. "I … I will prepare dinner for you. The vegetables are ready."
Yu Meixia wanted to show off to Chief Dong that she had put in a lot of effort to prepare this meal. But maybe Yu Meixia was too nervous, and when she was cooking, some oil splashed onto her hand. Yu Meixia is not used to cooking gas and got a fright. She dropped the plate into the frying pan when she was pouring the food. She quickly switched off the stove and took out the plate. She looked towards the kitchen door and saw Chief Dong was not looking at her. She was relieved and scolded herself for being stupid. How can she not do such a simple thing well?
Five minutes later, Yu Meixia served the dishes on the table.
Dong Xuebing looked at the bowl of rice on the table and asked. "Have you all finished?"
Yu Meixia stood beside Dong Xuebing. "No. We are waiting for you to finish before we eat."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "Hurry up and get some rice. The dishes are getting cold." Dong Xuebing picked up his chopsticks and tasted the food. Hmmm … Aunt Xuan's cooking is not as good as Dong Xuebing's, but her cooking is better than him. "This dish is not bad. Hmmm … this is also good." Dong Xuebing took a peek at Yu Meixia's body.
Yu Meixia smiled when she saw Chief Dong is satisfied. She sat down with her daughter to eat.
While eating, Dong Xuebing asked. "Are you the one who cooked in the past?"
Yu Meixia's eyes dimmed. "Yes. Qianqian's father gambles every day and never cares about our family."
Dong Xuebing also does not like Yu Meixia's late husband. He has such a beautiful wife and daughter, but he is still addicted to gambling? He owes so many debts? Is he crazy?! If Dong Xuebing can marry Xie Huilan or Qu Yunxuan, he will not even bother to attend social events. He will rush home to visit his wife after work.
After dinner, Dong Xuebing leaned back on the sofa and massaged his aching head. He had been exhausted for the past few days.
Yu Meixia, who had washed the dishes, walked out of the kitchen. She paused for a second and said to her daughter. "Qianqian, go back to your room to study."
Yu Qianqian nodded and entered her bedroom.
Yu Meixia gritted her teeth and sat beside Dong Xuebing. "Chief Dong, are you having a headache? Let me … let me help you massage it. "
Dong Xuebing replied embarrassedly. "It's fine."
"My massage skills are not bad. Do you want to give it a try?"
"Err …" Dong Xuebing's head is also not feeling well. "Alright. Thank you."
Yu Meixia blushed. Other than her husband, she had never massaged other men before. She rolled up her sleeves and placed her fingers into Dong Xuebing's hair and started massaging. Dong Xuebing subconsciously closed his eyes and nodded. Yu Meixia saw Dong Xuebing's reaction and used more strength. After massaging his head, Yu Meixia hesitated for a while and said. "Do you want me to massage your back?"
Dong Xuebing nodded. "Thank you."
"It's nothing. It's my duty." Yu Meixia placed her hands on Dong Xuebing's shoulders and back and started massaging. "Do you think this strength … is it suitable?"
"You can use more strength."
"Is this ok?"
"… yes … yes … this is the best."
Dong Xuebing felt very comfortable. Phew … it seems like hiring Yu Meixia as a helper is the right decision. Cooking, washing, cleaning, etc. Dong Xuebing can't stand massaging. If Yu Meixia can massage him like this every day after work, he will be satisfied. Which helper will give you a massage?!
