Disease was undoubtedly one of the greatest threats to mankind, and when disease descended, no one could stop it.
A serious illness is like a landslide. Without timely and effective treatment, the person suffering from the disease will likely leave the world.
Su Xiaobei's mother had unfortunately contracted a serious illness and was in urgent need of surgery.
Thankfully, Li Yunshao had extended his hand in time to help solve this critical situation.
The operation went smoothly, Su Xiaobei's mother managed to recover her life, and her body gradually recovered. However, she was unable to repay the huge amount of money spent on the operation. And because of this, the contract between Su Xiaobei and Li Yunshao officially took effect.
Su Xiaobei had repeatedly promised that as long as there was someone who could save her mother, she would be willing to repay the kindness with her life.
In fact, she had only become a servant of the Li family, which was at least a hundred times better than being an ox or a horse.
Su Xiaobei's everyday attire was a black maid attire, the hem of her skirt just happening to cover her knees. Although it was not as sexy as her youthful school uniform, it was still a bit more enticing.
This would be the first day Su Xiaobei would officially start working. However, she didn't need to make breakfast for her morning missions, she only needed to be assigned to take care of the flowers and clean up the floors.
At this time, Li Yunshao had already finished his breakfast and was sitting on a chair with a broad back, reading an entertainment newspaper. When he saw Su Xiaobei who was wiping the table listlessly, he put down the newspaper and said, "Xiao Bei, go and make me a cup of coffee!"
Su Xiaobei replied and also went off listlessly.
After a while, Su Xiaobei brought a cup of hot coffee and placed it on the glass table in front of Li Yunshao.
Li Yunshao raised his cup and took a sip, he could not help but exclaim: "Wa, you want to burn me to death? Get me a cup of warm wine! "
Su Xiaobei replied listlessly again as she picked up her cup and left mechanically.
After a while, Su Xiaobei placed the coffee in front of Li Yunshao once again.
"It's too cold. I don't want cold coffee. Give me another cup!" Li Yunshao tried it and then ordered Su Xiaobei to change it to a cup.
Although Su Xiaobei was unhappy in her heart, she still had to obediently follow Li Yunshao's orders.
Not long after, Su Xiaobei returned. She impatiently placed the cup on the table and said: "There won't be a problem this time, I've tried it myself."
Hearing that, Li Yunshao blinked his eyes in shock, he looked at Su Xiaobei who could not accept it, and frowned: "You tried it before?"
"Yes." Su Xiaobei strongly nodded her head, her expression was extremely certain.
Li Yunshao was suddenly angered and said unhappily: "Your saliva's all over it, how am I supposed to drink it? Change again! "
"You …" Su Xiaobei was suddenly angered as well. Her almond eyes were round, and she wanted to say something but she couldn't.
"What are you still standing there for?" Hurry up and change it? " Li Yunshao completely ignored Su Xiaobei's feelings, and rebuked him one more time: "You can't even complete a small task like this! I really don't know how you do it! "
Su Xiaobei thought about how Li Yunshao was his savior, and suppressed the anger in his heart. He did not flare up, and instead, obediently poured himself another cup of coffee.
"Here!" Su Xiaobei heavily placed the cup full of coffee on the table, causing a lot of coffee to come out from the cup.
This time, Li Yunshao was actually not angry. He turned around, looked at Su Xiaobei quietly for a while, and then slowly said: "Since you showed such impatience on your first day of work, did you not want to work anymore? If you don't want to do it, I won't force you. You just have to return the 500,000 to me. "
"How is this a job, you're clearly punishing me …" Su Xiaobei said.
"You think I'm messing with you?" Li Yunshao said, "If it's only this, then you won't be able to take it. It's really hard for me to imagine that you can endure for two years."
"Why not? I will do what I promised. " Su Xiaobei said.
"Well, I hope so too." After Li Yunshao finished speaking, he raised the cup and gently took a sip. Then, he immediately put the cup down and said: "It's too bitter, go and help me add some more sugar!"
This time, Su Xiaobei did not move an inch upon hearing these words. She stood there motionlessly, as if she was using her silence to express her opposition.
Li Yunshao also did not say anything. His gaze slowly landed on Su Xiaobei as he stared at her.
Su Xiaobei met Li Yunshao's strict gaze and could not help but pout his lips. After being silent for a moment, he still compromised in the end.
Li Yunshao once again tasted the coffee Su Xiaobei sent over. This time, he was no longer picky and praised it, saying: "Oh, the sugar is just right for the best, and the temperature is just right for the best. Well done, I will make the coffee according to this standard." Then he raised his glass and took another sip, his face full of enjoyment.
"Be careful not to choke you to death." Su Xiaobei cursed softly and made a face at Li Yunshao.
"What did you just say?" Li Yunshao was tasting the fragrant coffee, and did not notice Su Xiaobei's little movements.
"I didn't say anything!" Su Xiaobei was shocked, and immediately covered up. She thought, you can hear it so quietly, could it be Wind Catching Ear?
Li Yunshao acknowledged his but he did not pursue the matter. After a while, he slowly put down the cup and said to Su Xiaobei: "Go and clean up. If there is anything else, I'll call for you."
Hearing that, Su Xiaobei turned around and left after making a sound of agreement.
It was already after dinner when Li Yunshao called out to Su Xiaobei again.
After most of the day had passed, Su Xiaobei did not do much work, most of his time was free. But even if she had her own free time, she could only stay in her room. She had no TV, no computer, and all she could do was read the books on the shelf.
Having nothing to do, adding to the fact that she was living under someone else's roof, Su Xiaobei felt that it was extremely hard to bear the time. Although it had only been half a day, it felt like half a year had passed. She slowly started to be like Li Yunshao, unable to imagine how she could survive for two years here!
"Xiao Bei, come over here for a moment." Li Yunshao who had just returned with his dog waved to Su Xiaobei, he was holding an expensive sheepdog by his side. This sheepdog was worth a lot, Li Yunshao loved it a lot and even treated it as his own little brother.
"What are your orders?" Su Xiaobei walked over to Li Yunshao and asked.
"Go clean up the dog shit in the front yard." Li Yunshao said.
Su Xiaobei had always been a germaphobe, so when she heard about this chore, she immediately frowned, and spoke with extreme resistance: "Was it me who did this?"
"If it's not you doing it, then could it be me doing it?" Li Yunshao asked.
"Can I not go?" Su Xiaobei said with a bitter face.
"No, this is your job." Li Yunshao insisted, he did not seem to be soft-hearted at all.
"I... "I really can't go, I have an obsession with cleanliness …" Su Xiaobei revealed a terrified expression and said, "I'm most afraid of this kind of thing called rice and field, I won't be able to eat."
"Didn't you already eat dinner?" Li Yunshao said.
"Then don't I have to eat tomorrow?" Su Xiaobei revealed a pitiful expression.
Li Yunshao shook his head and sighed, saying: "Originally, you didn't have to do this, but today, a gardener took a leave of absence, so I can only let you go, it should be this once, and that gardener will be back tomorrow."
"Can't he come back tomorrow to clean up?" Su Xiaobei asked.
"Then don't eat tomorrow, can't you eat the day after tomorrow?" Li Yunshao retorted.
"I …" Su Xiaobei was suddenly speechless. She really wanted to beat this tyrannical young master of a rich family up, but unfortunately, she could not do that. Although it was a little repulsive, he was her savior after all.
A bit of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. A person who practices martial arts should be more loyal, Su Xiaobei was no exception, so she knew that she must never use violence against her benefactor.
"Hurry up and do it. This is also a test for you." Li Yunshao struck while the iron was hot, taking the opportunity to chase after him, he then said: "Being too cleanness is a kind of disease, you have to be treated, I am helping you treat your illness."
Su Xiaobei truly had nothing to say, she could only force herself to go out.
With great difficulty, she gathered up her courage and brought the cleaning tools with her to the front yard. After walking for a while, she saw a pile of dog dung on the stone road not far from the door.
"Abominable beast, you pissed everywhere, causing me to have to help you take care of the aftermath!" Su Xiaobei could not help but silently curse as she felt her heart becoming more comfortable. After that, she walked towards the pile of rice fields with trembling steps.
The dog poop was not too ugly, but Su Xiaobei still pinched her nose tightly. She used one hand to hold the broom, and the corner of her eyes to sweep the dog poop into the dustpan with ease. She did not dare look at it the entire time, as if she was not facing dog poop, but a monster that could kill.
"Not bad, didn't you succeed?" Unknowingly, Li Yunshao had arrived behind Su Xiaobei, he clapped his hands and said: "Now, throw it into the trash can outside."
Su Xiaobei did not say anything, she only wanted to finish this task quickly, and immediately executed Li Yunshao's orders.
"Do you feel sick?" Li Yunshao asked Su Xiaobei who had returned.
"I just want to take a quick bath." Su Xiaobei said.
"Go take a bath. Nothing will happen today. After taking a shower, sleep well." Li Yunshao agreed immediately.
On this day, although Su Xiaobei did not do much work, she still felt both physically and mentally exhausted. She wasn't used to everything here, and the only consolation was that she could at least have a comfortable hot bath.
After showering, Su Xiaobei went back to her room to lie down, and Li Yunshao did not call for her.
When Su Xiaobei was lying on the bed, it was not even 10 pm yet. If it was before, when she had nothing better to do, she would go train, but now, she had no interest at all. She only wanted to quietly lie on the bed and do nothing. She also understood that as long as she did not practice martial arts for even a day, her power would decrease and she would become lazy. It would be extremely difficult to persevere in the future, but she still chose to lie down.
This was Su Xiaobei's first day officially becoming a servant of the Li Family. She didn't feel good about herself, and when she thought about how Li Yunshao would make things difficult for her tomorrow, her heart ached slightly. After all, it had just started today.
She suddenly felt that she was very pitiful and helpless, and couldn't help but think of his cousin and Deng Fan. She mumbled, "Big Sister, Master, where are you? Are you all right? "I really miss you guys …" The more he thought about it, the more sorrowful he became. He could not help but close his eyes as he thought about the slim chance he had of meeting his cousin and Deng Fan again.
