Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.

Everyone was caught off guard by the news, even the butler was somewhat bewildered.

If I remember correctly, didn't my wife say a few days ago that she wanted to find a few maids who could do massage?

Why are they laying off employees today?

Aunt Wang, who was closest to Jinxi, was the first to react. She stepped forward to ask what was wrong, but Jinxi said to her, "Aunt Wang, you're not in here."

Aunt Wang instantly brightened up, her eyes crinkling with laughter: "Thank you, Madam!"

It seems I really did the right thing.

Jinxi looked at her smiling face, her expression unchanged, and said, "I'll leave the review of these few to you."

Zhou Yanqian stood at the door, and upon hearing Jin Xi's words, he couldn't help but sneer. Too lazy to even glance at her, he went straight into the villa.

Jinxi naturally noticed, and she said, "If there's nothing else, everyone go and get busy."

The others naturally hesitated to speak, but since Jinxi was the head of the household at the moment, they dared not say anything.

A wealthy woman can dismiss several servants without needing a reason.

But none of them wanted to be laid off. Besides, why wasn't Aunt Wang on the layoff list? She was the one who didn't do anything!

Aunt Wang was very pleased with herself at the moment. It seemed that she had done something to please Madam. She should help Madam deal with that little bastard more often in the future!

Let him know who the real master of this house is!

Jinxi went inside to look for Zanzan, but the little one was nowhere to be seen. Following her memory, she went upstairs and found the children's room tightly closed, as if the child was terrified.

She sighed and was about to knock on the door to ask what was going on when the door to the children's room opened automatically.

Zan Zan stood behind the door, looking up at her expressionlessly.

Damn it, why did I have to go back to being three years old?! I have to look up at this wicked woman!

In his previous life, he would have been someone others looked up to.

But soon, Jinxi squatted down and asked with a smile, "Are you hungry? I'll have someone make you a midnight snack, okay?"

Zhou Yanqian looked at Jin Xi, who was squatting in front of him, and a little doubt arose in his heart.

In his previous life, Jin Xi wished he could be torn to pieces, and hunger was not unfamiliar to him. So why did this vicious woman take the initiative to ask him if he wanted a midnight snack?

Could it be... that she was reborn too?

However, this thought only popped into his head for a moment before Zhou Yanqian banished it from his mind.

If this woman were reborn, she would only treat him even worse, probably wanting to strangle him. How could she speak to him so gently?

Could it be that he's plotting something else again?

Jinxi looked at the little boy in front of her, whose expression shifted between serious and cheerful, and she couldn't quite understand it.

Ever since returning from the hospital, Zan Zan has been very silent. He won't say anything when asked. Could he really be terrified?

Jinxi thought for a moment and decided to apologize to Zanzan: "Zanzan, what happened tonight was my fault. I'm sorry, and I hope you can forgive me."

Even though she didn't do it, she still has to apologize.

This is the time when children are developing their sense of right and wrong, and she can set a good example for them.

Zhou Yanqian stared at her as if she were some strange sight. What had this woman just said?

sorry?

Jinxi looked at him with bright eyes, hoping he would respond.

Zhou Yanqian thought back to how she had tried so hard to protect Aunt Wang downstairs.

She's probably trying to keep quiet because she's afraid that man will get angry.

If I remember correctly, that man will be back in a few days.

He said coldly, "I won't tell my father."

Even if he told him, it would be useless. That man already considered him a disgrace and wouldn't listen to him at all.

He will avenge himself.

Jinxi exclaimed "Ah!" before she could react, and Zhou Yanqian had already closed the door.

The door slammed shut, startling Jinxi so much that she leaned back and landed on her bottom in the corridor.

"Hiss—" Jinxi got up and rubbed her bottom. She really hit her bottom hard when she fell!

Just then, the housekeeper came up. She looked at Jinxi standing at the young master's door, grinning and showing some confusion, but still went over and asked, "Madam."

Jinxi looked at her and said, "Let the kitchen steam a bowl of egg custard for Zanzan. The child must be hungry after all that work all night."

Butler Zhao glanced at her again, then nodded to indicate that he understood.

However, she came to see Jinxi for something else: "Madam, I'm here to see you about the layoffs."

The news came too suddenly, without any warning. As the Zhou family's housekeeper, she naturally had to find out more details.

Butler Zhao was a servant of her cheap husband, Zhou Linxu. The original owner would avoid doing anything in front of her, for fear that she would complain. Even Aunt Wang had to be much more restrained in front of her.

In the novel, it was she who noticed something was wrong with Zan Zan and reported it to Zhou Linxu, who then learned about what had happened to Zan Zan at home.

In conclusion, Butler Zhao is someone we can trust right now.

Jinxi said, "Okay, you can find two more housekeepers who can cook and do simple tidying. The house cleaning can be handled by hourly workers."

Yes, besides the housekeeper, there are six other servants, including Aunt Wang, but a cleaning lady comes every week to do a thorough cleaning.

Jin Xi really thinks this is just throwing money away.

Butler Zhao didn't quite understand Jinxi's actions: "Are we still going to hire a maid who can give massages?"

"...Is it that extravagant?" Jinxi was taken aback. When she met the housekeeper Zhao's questioning eyes, she coughed lightly and said, "No need. It would be best if Auntie could start work next month. I will fire everyone else next month."

While listening to Aunt Wang's blatant threats to Zanzan in the car, she wanted to drive Aunt Wang away immediately, but when she got to the yard, she remembered something.

Aunt Wang's grandson seems to have taken something from Zan Zan, something very important, something that Zan Zan regrets.

She needed to get her things back first, so what came out of her mouth was a layoff.

There were several other servants who, while not openly bullying Zanzan like Aunt Wang, still showed a lot of disdain behind her back.

Jinxi never intended to keep them all in the first place; layoffs were just a euphemism. Besides, if she laid them all off tonight, her cheap husband would definitely find out.

Before she fully understands this world, she should avoid meeting her cheap husband.

Butler Zhao nodded: "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Jinxi patted her shoulder: "Thank you for your trouble. By the way, keep an eye on Aunt Wang during this time, and try to keep her away from Zanzan."

But isn't Aunt Wang specifically there to take care of the young master?

Butler Zhao didn't understand, and just kept nodding.

After arranging everything, Jinxi rubbed the back of her head and went upstairs.

After watching her enter the elevator, Butler Zhao took out his phone, edited the day's events into a message, and sent it out.

The other party only replied with two words after the steamed egg custard was fully cooked.

Boss A: Whatever.
