Chapter 571: 199: Huan Huan: Aunt Zhang is absolutely not simple! _2
Olivia Cooper watched her mother’s retreating figure, breathing a sigh of relief.
She thought her mother was going to hit her again.
Fortunately!
Aunt Zhang came to Mrs. Flack’s home with the clothes.
“Mrs. Flack!”
Mrs. Flack looked at the clothes in Aunt Zhang’s hand and said in surprise, “Did you sew it up so quickly?”
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, “It’s been a week, still quick?”
A week indeed was not quick.
But Aunt Zhang had to work, take care of her family, and still had to do laundry and cooking.
This speed was already very fast.
No wonder people say a mother’s potential is limitless.
Mrs. Flack took the clothes from Aunt Zhang and praised, “Olivia’s mom, your needlework is really good!”
Aunt Zhang was a good person.
Pity.
Her taste in men was poor.
If not, she wouldn’t have ended up with a gambling addict.
If Aunt Zhang had married a good man, life wouldn’t be like this now.
Aunt Zhang said: “No, it’s average.”
Mrs. Flack smiled and said, “You’re too modest. Oh, wait a moment, I’ll go get your payment.”
“Okay.” Aunt Zhang nodded.
Mrs. Flack turned and went towards the bedroom.
Soon, she came out with the money.
“Olivia’s mom, this is your wage, 25 dollars a piece, a total of 125.”
Aunt Zhang took the money with both hands, “Thank you, Mrs. Flack.”
“Hey, no need to thank me! This is what you deserve.” After saying this, Mrs. Flack seemed to have thought of something, and continued: “Oh yes, Olivia’s mom, that thing I asked you to do last time?”
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, “Mrs. Flack, rest assured, since you’ve been so good to us, I certainly remember what you asked. However, my employer doesn’t need anyone at the moment, but if they do, I’ll inform you right away.”
“Alright.” Mrs. Flack believed in Aunt Zhang’s character, “Then I’ll wait for your news.”
Aunt Zhang nodded, “But Mrs. Flack, you have to be mentally prepared, because my employer offers a relatively high salary, so the jobs are quite stable. I don’t know who will quit in the short term, I can only say I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
Mrs. Flack said: “Understood.”
“Then I’ll be leaving.”
“Alright.” Mrs. Flack nodded.
Watching Aunt Zhang’s retreating figure, Mrs. Flack could not help but sigh, “This woman is really capable!”
Aunt Zhang was not only hardworking but also resilient.
Having known Aunt Zhang for such a long time, Mrs. Flack had never heard her complain about life.
She was very friendly.
If anyone needed help, she would definitely be the first to offer.
Olivia Cooper was cooking.
There was a pleasant aroma in the kitchen.
After Aunt Zhang went home, she sat in the room, staring blankly at the photos on her mobile phone.
It was a photo of Sylvia Thompson making a wish in front of a birthday cake.
The next one was of Sylvia Thompson practicing piano, which Aunt Zhang secretly took.
There weren’t many photos in Aunt Zhang’s phone.
But almost every single one was of Sylvia Thompson.
There were varieties of angles.
Front, side, and back.
When she worked at the Thompson Clan’s house, to avoid arousing suspicion, she dared not even spare Sylvia Thompson an extra glance.
Every time she missed her daughter, she would silently look at the photos.
Then silently shed tears.
Olivia Cooper came to the bedroom door and saw her mother sitting on the bed, looking at her phone and silently crying.
Olivia contemplated for a while before she finally spoke.
“Mom.”
Aunt Zhang was startled, only then did she react and look up at Olivia.
Her eyes were filled with anger.
She said nothing, just one look was enough to turn Olivia’s face pale, “Mom, dinner’s ready.”
“Go kneel down.”
Aunt Zhang continued.
With a very calm tone.
The mother did not need a reason to punish her.
Olivia had no idea what she did wrong, she lightly nodded and turned around to walk towards the living room.
When she arrived in the living room.
Olivia knelt facing the wall.
Aunt Zhang sat at the dining table and started to eat.
The aroma of the meal wafted into her nostrils.
Very tantalizing.
Even though she ate some dumplings in the afternoon, Olivia was still hungry and involuntarily swallowed her saliva.
But after Aunt Zhang finished eating, she did not leave any food for Olivia, instead, she dumped the remaining food into the trash bin.
Listening to the sound of her mother handling the dishes, Olivia felt a bit sad.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from behind.
Under the light, the shadow of her mother grew closer and closer.
Olivia suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
Her eyes were filled with terror.
She wanted to run.
But where could she run to?
The mother behind her suddenly squatted down.
