After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1139

1139 You Have No Sense of Urgency
At this spot, she could lean back and look at the moon. When it rained, she could also listen to the sounds of the rain. After all, there was a heater in the house, so it was not a big deal even if she fell asleep in the rocking chair.

At most, her back would ache the next day and she would not feel rested.

Qiao Mei stared at the crescent moon outside and rocked the chair as she gradually fell asleep…

Feng Hua had her own routine to follow. Before going to bed, she had to patrol every room to confirm if the taps and switches were turned off properly and if there were any hidden dangers. She also had to check if the furniture in each room was neatly arranged and if the lights needed to be switched off.

The same routine could not be applied to every family. She had to be very clear about which rooms she could enter to check, which rooms she could not wander around in and had an idea about when each room would be empty. This was not something that could be done overnight, but once she managed to find out all the details, she would not make any mistakes no matter which family she worked for.

Wei Hao memorized all these things. She was still lacking in many areas and wanted to learn more from Feng Hua so that she could earn the same amount as Feng Hua as soon as possible.

Feng Hua was not a stingy or petty person. She openly shared with Wei Hao all her experiences over the years. She was very confident that even if Wei Hao learned everything from her, Wei Hao still might not be able to do better than her. In this industry, one’s reputation went around by way of word of mouth. As long as one had a good reputation, there would be an endless stream of job offers with high pay.

“Qiao Mei… Qiao Mei, wake up…” Feng Hua came to the main hall and patted Qiao Mei gently. Qiao Mei woke up in a daze.

“It’s late and the air is very damp here. Come, go back to the room and sleep,” Feng Hua said with a smile.

Qiao Mei nodded obediently and slowly made her way to the room to sleep. Feng Hua stopped to look at the rocking chair. After staring at it for a long time, she bent down and did some measurements with her hand before going in.

After a few days, Qiao Mei suddenly realized that there was an additional soft cushion on each rocking chair in the house. The length of the soft cushion covered the entire rocking chair. It could not have been bought from the store. It must have been made by someone in the house who was skilled with needlework.

The thickness of each cushion was different. The cushion in the study was harder and not as thick as the one in the bedroom, nor was the material as delicate as the one in the bedroom. Furthermore, each cushion had its location’s name sewed on it so that it would be easier to identify them after laundering.

“Look at this pattern. It’s really pretty and the material is so comfortable!” Xia He could not help herself from trying it before Qiao Mei. It felt really good to sit on.

“It’s probably Sister Feng who made these. I fell asleep in the rocking chair that day and she asked me to go back to my room to sleep. I can’t think of anyone else but her,” Qiao Mei said as she slowly took a sip of tea.

“Then… where did the materials come from? Did she buy them out of her own pocket?” Xia He said in shock.

Qiao Mei had no idea at all. She had not gone to the storeroom for a long time and did not know what was kept inside. She did not even know half as much as Feng Hua when it came to the items in this house.

“We’ll know when we ask her during payday. Her food and accommodation are all provided for and she probably doesn’t spend much. It’s likely they don’t have any urgent need for money at the moment, so let’s wait and see,” Qiao Mei said patiently.

“I must earn more money. When the time comes, I’ll offer a higher pay to poach Sister Feng! Who doesn’t want such a good helper!” Xia He said.

Qiao Mei smiled and said playfully, “There’s no need for you to poach her. When you’re pregnant, I’ll ask Sister Feng to go and take care of you. As long as Sister Feng is willing to do it, I’m most willing to let Sister Feng go! I have no problem paying her too.”

Xia He exasperatedly threw the wool pompom in her hand at Qiao Mei’s feet and said out of frustration, “Qiao Mei, have you been itching for a beating recently! I haven’t dealt with you for such a long time that you dare to joke about me now!”

“I’m just anxious! Zheng Peng and Qian’e are already a couple. They might get married in another year! You still don’t have any sense of urgency!” Qiao Mei said.

“What? When did this happen? How do the two of them progress so quickly! Why is it that I don’t know anything! Quick, tell me!” Xia He said in surprise.

It was a natural progression of events. When Qian’e was sick some time ago, Zheng Peng went to her house to take care of her. Of course, he only took good care of her every day and never stayed over.
