Chapter 489 Sister is Real Gold (7)
The person who pulled her was Zhang Sisi, her biological sister.
Zhang Sisi smiled at her and motioned for her to talk somewhere else.
Zhang Ke'er hurriedly lowered her head and drank two sips of tea, then looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her. She quietly got up and left the table, following Zhang Sisi to an empty corner of the garden.
"How did you get here? What are you doing here?"
As soon as they got to a place where there was no one, Zhang Keer asked hurriedly.
"Because they are short of people and need to hire temporary workers, I came to apply. The manager saw that I was well-proportioned and nimble, so he asked me to come to the front to help. If any young lady's maid is not able to move nimbly, I will help her."
Zhang Sisi said as she looked at her playfully, "It seems that your sister is not getting along well in the Ning family now. Why didn't the older girl come with you? Could it be that she doesn't want to follow you anymore, hehe."
There was a vicious gleam in her eyes. Why should Zhang Ke'er, who are both daughters of the Zhang family, stay in the Ning family and live a life of luxury while she has to stay in the Zhang family and suffer poverty?
She is three years older than Zhang Ke'er and is already nineteen this year, but she has not been able to find a suitable husband. If she continues like this, she will become an old maid. How can she not hate it!
Zhang Keer stamped her feet anxiously, "What on earth are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see my dear sister. Our family sent you to the Ning family to enjoy a good life, but you haven't contacted us for many days. Do you know that mother is worried about you so much that she is about to get sick? It makes me so sad, wuwu..."
"Alright, alright, stop pretending. I know you're here to ask for money. I've already sent you a message. I'm not doing well right now. I don't know what's wrong with Ning Ning. She's always making things difficult for me. She's repeatedly told the mansion that I'm an adopted daughter. If it weren't for Madam Ning's protection, I would have been much worse than Ning Ran. At a time like this, how can I not behave myself? The Ning family only said they would support me, but they didn't say they would support the Zhang family. If they knew that I gave you the money and jewelry the Ning family gave me, they would kick me out of the Ning family! Go back quickly. I'll contact you again after this period of time."
"Oh my, you're making it sound so easy. We're barely making ends meet at home, how can we wait? No matter how unhappy your life is at the Ning's, you're just using inferior maids. Compared to life at home, it's really like heaven and earth. If you still have a conscience, you shouldn't abandon your family."
"When did I say I don't care about you anymore? You guys, you used to be willing to do some work like writing letters for the family to support the family, but now you are relying on me, your daughter, to take things from the Ning family to support the family. You don't have any flesh and blood of your own, how shameless of you!"
The Zhang family looked like they wanted to suck her blood regardless of her life or death, which made her feel upset.
Although she now hated Ning Ning because he favored Ning Ran, she had to admit that Ning Ning was indeed a good brother who loved and cared about his sister.
It's a pity that he wasn't like this before. Could it be that after losing her and getting her back, he felt that Ning Ran was even more precious? !
In short, other people's brothers will try every means to help Ning Ran, but her family will only try to drag her down, without caring at all whether she lives well in the Ning family or whether she is looked down upon by others.
Zhang Sisi was also annoyed after hearing what she said, "Oh, what's wrong, you despise the poor and love the rich! Don't forget, no matter how poor the Zhang family is now, it is still where you were born. If your family didn't agree, you could still stay in the Ning family and enjoy the good life! Why shouldn't they give us benefits if our daughter of the Zhang family stays in their Ning family?!"
Looking at Zhang Sisi's rogue appearance, Zhang Ke'er actually felt nauseous.
The Zhang family has been living a very difficult life these years, and they are unable to let go of their past honor. However, the emperor had already issued an edict saying that their family would never be employed again.
If they wanted to do business, they had neither the capital nor the skills, and their bodies were too delicate to do heavy work.
In short, they barely made ends meet by writing letters, helping to copy books, and the women doing embroidery.
But even so, they still felt that associating with peddlers and hawkers was a loss of dignity, and they were just waiting for an opportunity to turn their lives around.
Therefore, Zhang Ke'er was firmly grasped by them and regarded as the only chance. They held on to her and would never let her go.
Moreover, having a connection with the Marquis' Mansion again gave them the illusion of returning to their past circle. Even if it made the Marquis' Mansion disgusted, that was not something that everyone could do. It seemed to have become a proof of their past glory.
So after contacting Zhang Ke'er several times and not getting any reply from her confirming a meeting, they could no longer sit still. They would rather let Zhang Sisi pretend to be a servant and do odd jobs, so that they could meet Zhang Ke'er as soon as possible and continue to get in touch with her.
"Hey, stop pulling me. That's enough. I'll give you this bracelet, okay? Go back now."
Zhang Keer was afraid that there would be a commotion, so she quickly took off a bracelet and stuffed it into Zhang Sisi's hand.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Sisi got even angrier after seeing her attitude, "What do you mean, are you sending away a beggar?! Your family sent you to live a good life, but is that harming you? Who do you think is a burden?!"
She felt angry, so her voice got louder. Zhang Keer was startled and was about to ask her to speak softly when she heard a puzzled voice from the side, "Zhang Sisi?! No, why are you here?!"
When Zhang Ke'er turned around, she saw Ning Ran and her maid standing aside, looking at them in surprise!
She quickly explained, "Ah, no, that's right, sister, the Zhang family is having a hard time these days, so I came out to do odd jobs to supplement the family income. We just happened to meet and chat for a while, so let's go back now."
Ning Ran sneered, "Do you think I can't see it, or do you think I'm so gullible? The capital is so big, how did she run into you at the banquet? How did your bracelet end up in her hands?"
"Well, what's wrong with me helping my family?"
"Using Ning's stuff?"
"you--"
Zhang Sisi looked at Ning Ran with even more jealousy, and pushed Zhang Ke'er away, "Ke'er, what's wrong with giving things to my sister and me? But you, our Zhang family has raised you up anyway, and now that you've become rich, you don't even want to see us. You're such an ungrateful person!"
Humph, she doesn't know what kind of person Ning Ran is. He is so timid that when he sees her, he is like a mouse seeing a cat. He even wants to walk along the wall. Even if he is recognized by the Ning family, he will still be a hopeless case. How can she be afraid of Ning Ran!
Maybe I can make some money from Ning Ran today!
But what she didn't expect was that Ning Ran, who used to avoid her, was now calm and composed in front of her, without even raising his eyebrows.
