Chapter 77 The Four Great Vajras
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the house hand in hand, and Zhang Ruolan praised them all the way.

They praised her for being efficient and decisive, and for her for being resolute and efficient in handling matters. They even complimented her on her skin condition.

It seems that in her eyes, this daughter-in-law has no flaws and makes her extremely satisfied!
The four aunties followed behind, keeping their eyes down and not saying a word, but their expressions unconsciously became much more serious.

Zhang Ruolan seemed not to have noticed anything until the two entered the room and sat down. Only then did she call the four people over and introduce them to Gu Lanxi one by one.

The four aunties stood in a row, from left to right, representing all shapes and sizes, tall and short, fat and thin.

Zhang Ruolan first pointed to the petite, thin woman on the far right and introduced her:

"This is Old Ding. She's very skilled at tending to flowers and plants. If you have any that you like, just tell her and she can grow them for you. Don't be fooled by the fact that gardeners these days have all sorts of certificates. Old Ding's ancestors worked in the Imperial Garden. She has real skills!"

Old Ding was quite embarrassed by her praise, and a blush crept onto his wheat-colored cheeks.

Gu Lanxi smiled gently and shook hands with her.

"Aunt Ding, the garden at home will be yours from now on."

Old Ding is not good with words, but he is a good worker. Just by looking at the courtyard today, he can tell that it was designed by a famous designer. He is naturally satisfied with his new work environment.

Afraid that the calluses on his hands would scratch her, Old Ding only gently held her fingertips before letting go.

From beginning to end, he only said one sentence: "Leave it to me, you can rest assured."

The four of them followed Zhang Ruolan through the door, but Zhang Ruolan first put a valuable jade bracelet on Gu Lanxi's wrist, and then chatted for a while before introducing them.

The meaning is self-evident.

Having all worked for wealthy families for many years, the four of them were extremely cautious until they learned about the new mistress's temperament.

Especially since she has a formidable mother-in-law.

After introducing the gardener, Zhang Ruolan pointed to the plump, fair-skinned man and introduced him to her:
"This is Chef Xiao, she's been working for us for fifteen years. She was originally a Shandong cuisine chef, but her family is so picky about food that it gave her the opportunity to grow, haha! Her biggest advantage now is that she can cook everything, and she does it very well. From now on, if you two want to eat something, just tell her! She loves to come up with new ideas!"

Compared to chefs who are only good at one type of cuisine, those who are willing to do everything and learn everything are the real treasures!

After all, even the most delicious dishes can get boring if you eat the same few dishes all the time, right?

"Just hearing that makes me excited! From now on, I'll have to rely on Aunt Xiao for our meals."

Old Xiao was noticeably more talkative. Upon hearing his introduction, his eyes immediately lit up with a smile. He bent down to take Gu Lanxi's outstretched hand, gently shook it, and gave it a warm shake before standing up and patting his chest to assure her:

"I will do my best to meet your needs, and I only hope that my wife will not find fault with me in the future!"

The old house still has a head chef. Xiao Xiao has become Lao Xiao, but she still can't become the head of the Lu family's kitchen. Although Lu Lao San just got married and doesn't even have a child yet, and the couple often travels for work and is not at home, she can be the head of the kitchen now that she's here. It's completely different from before.

Hearing her call her "Madam," and knowing that she always called Zhang Ruolan that, Gu Lanxi quickly waved her hand: "You can call me Lanxi, or Miss Gu, either is fine. Madam, please keep calling me Mom! She will be coming over often in the future, and calling her that will cause confusion."

Gu Lanxi frequently visited the Lu family in previous years and had met them before, but they hadn't had much interaction.

Seeing that she was not used to it, no one forced her to continue.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruolan felt comforted and needed no further explanation.

After introducing Lao Xiao, she pointed to the short and stocky man and introduced him with the same proud expression:

"This is Old Chen. She's exceptionally good at cleaning. She works incredibly fast and well, doing the work of three people in one. That's why I pay her three times the salary of a regular cleaning lady. She's also adept at routine laundry, shoe and bag maintenance. Don't let her seemingly simple and honest appearance fool you; she's very up-to-date and incredibly skilled with all sorts of high-tech gadgets!"

Old Chen smiled憨厚ly, took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket, and came prepared:

“Ms. Gu, if you can prepare all the tools on the list, I can not only take care of the laundry room, but also clean the entire building by myself.”

Gu Lanxi took the list out of curiosity and saw that it listed four of the most advanced sweeping machines on the market.

Okay, they even considered the basement.

I did my homework carefully.

Gu Lanxi couldn't help but chuckle: "These are all necessary items. Just buy whatever you're comfortable using later."

My aunt not only bought furniture, appliances, and various bedding, but also provided pots and pans for the kitchen, so she basically moved in with just her bags.

She didn't buy any small appliances because they are updated too quickly and they are prone to breaking if left unused for too long.

Having a professional prepare a shopping list saves her the trouble.

Compared to manual labor, appliances only require electricity. Even if Aunt Chen earns three salaries, she can still save a lot of money, so she has no reason to disagree.

Then she instructed the others: "Take a look around and see what you're missing at home. If it's an appliance you're used to using, make a list. By the way, you might want to consider Xiaowei Technology's products. I have shares in them, so I can get employee discounts."

He's capable and good at managing the household. The third son must have accumulated a lot of good karma to marry such a virtuous wife!
Zhang Ruolan couldn't help but chuckle.

Who can truly understand the feeling of finding a treasure?

After introducing Old Chen, Zhang Ruolan pointed to the tallest woman and said:

"This is Old Qin. She used to work at an auction house and knows a lot about antiques. It's a waste of her talent for her to be here to maintain all these little trinkets for you. If you go out shopping, be sure to take her with you." Many people think that there are no fakes in auction houses, but that's a big misconception.

The fakes that manage to sneak into auctions are all high-quality imitations that are indistinguishable from the real thing.

It seems that Aunt Qin is quite skilled in this area.

Gu Lanxi laughed and said, "Then I'll have to work harder in the future! I'll try to keep Aunt Qin busy as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruolan couldn't help but sigh:
"Anyone else would be begging me to give her more by now, but you're such a simple-minded silly girl, you don't know how to be charming and flattering."

Gu Lanxi wanted to say that it was because she could never get what she wanted by being clever and obsequious, so she didn't have this problem.

But those words were really pretentious, and they even seemed to be alluding to her sisters-in-law. She just looked at Zhang Ruolan without saying a word.

Zhang Ruolan originally prepared the bracelet for Gu Lanxi's birthday. The reason she brought it today was simply because she saw Gu Lanxi trending on social media when she woke up this morning.

Seeing her classmates and neighbors reminiscing about the past, Zhang Ruolan cried several times, her mind filled with thoughts of being kinder to her daughter-in-law.

Seeing how sensible she was, I couldn't help but take her hand and pat it gently.

"From now on, you two can just live your happy lives as you please. No matter what happens, just tell Mom, and Mom will definitely handle it perfectly for you!"

Gu Lanxi had never received such care from her mother since she was a child, but she never expected to receive it from her mother-in-law after getting married.

I was moved, but I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded obediently.

Oh, what an adorable face! No elder could resist it!

Zhang Ruolan loved her terribly!

Especially compared to Guo Taiyi, this feeling is truly exhilarating from head to toe!

Having just moved in, there was a lot of work to do. Old Chen went to organize the clothes in the master bedroom's walk-in closet, Old Xiao went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, Old Qin went to check the antiques, and Old Ding went to the garden to inspect his new territory. In the blink of an eye, the four aunties dispersed in an orderly fashion.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a while longer before Gu Lanxi's phone rang.

However, Lu Nanting was about to return after finishing his business.

After she hung up the phone, Zhang Ruolan immediately grabbed her bag and prepared to leave: "I have plans tonight, so I won't be a third wheel."

The young couple both have to go to work tomorrow, and this old woman isn't going to stand here and bother everyone.

Gu Lanxi tried to persuade her to stay, but she couldn't, so she had to let her go.

After she left, the property management staff came over to activate their access control for the community. As soon as they finished and left, the elevator dinged, and Lu Nanting came up from the underground parking garage.

The house was full of boxes, and Aunt Chen couldn't manage it all by herself. The young couple met up, briefly discussed what was going on that day, and then started working on their own tasks.

By the time we finished most of the work, it was already dark.

Aunt Xiao had just finished preparing dinner, so the two of them hurried downstairs to eat.

Compared to Aunt Wang's home-cooked meals, Aunt Xiao's cooking is more professional.

To put it simply, Lao Xiao could easily become the head chef at a high-end restaurant.

While eating, she couldn't help but think about Aunt Wang's role.

With Aunt Chen around, we don't need her in the laundry room or for cleaning.

There are only two people in the house, and they can't eat much even if they try their best all day long. With Aunt Xiao around, the kitchen is basically not needed. So what's the point of her having a high salary?

When she's away filming, she can be taken care of, but she only films for about half the year. We can't just leave her to fend for herself for the other half.

But dismissing him is absolutely out of the question!

Gu Lanxi is considering transferring her to a different position.

You could have her as your personal assistant, taking care of you wherever you go, similar to Xu Jingwen, who works for your second aunt.

However, a personal assistant of Xu Jingwen's caliber requires a very high level of competence.

She needs to be able to schedule appointments, manage finances, take care of the family, handle documents and correspondence, plan trips, and ensure the cleanliness and safety of the home environment, among other things.

There are many and varied tasks, and you have to be proficient in everything.

Aunt Wang is clearly not that kind of person.

This is a bit troublesome...

Honestly, my mother-in-law hadn't said before that the four magical items she sent would be so amazing!

I've been really into pine nuts lately, so I bought a little pine nut clip. It's so cute!
Friends, urgent! Waiting online! Please help Aunt Wang find a new job!!
