Chapter 105: The Allure of Uniforms

  The child's head was covered with clothes, and early in the morning, her dignity was severely swept away. She had to admit that at this moment, there were thousands and millions of regrets gathering in her heart...

  "Get dressed! Get to work!"

  A deafening sound came from Old Lady Huo's throat, and that fiery aura seemed even more intense than Tong Mai's.

  Silly woman, you're really something!

  The child's face turned green with anger, but she could only helplessly pull off her clothes on her head. What else could she do besides working?

  It wasn't until Old Lady Huo took her clothes in hand that she was taken aback. Really? This Old Lady Huo is so fashionable and open-minded? The maid's uniform is actually a super short skirt...

  At this moment, the words "seductive uniform" suddenly appeared in Tong Mai's mind. At the same time, her eyes slowly fixed on Old Lady Huo, and surprise surged vigorously on her face.

  This... this old lady... isn't a lesbian or anything?

  At this thought, Tong Mai almost shouted out loud! Her scalp was numb and her whole body was screaming. Although she really didn't like it when Huo Yize occasionally pestered her, but... if she were to be forced by this old lady, she would rather be tormented by Huo Yize.

  "What's wrong with you! Don't change your clothes, how long do you plan to dawdle?" Old Lady Huo continued to shout loudly through the megaphone.

  The housekeeper next door hastily covered her ears! Only the old lady of their family would think of such a sharp and vicious way to torture others...

  Tong Mai was awakened again by her own shouting, she must have thought too much, no, no! She shouldn't be Lace! At least she has a son and grandson, this is enough to prove that her sexual orientation is still normal.

  She was puzzled as to why she had to wear such a short skirt. Wasn't she afraid of seducing He Yi Ze with this?

  That's right, Huo Yize that bastard sent her here last night and then disappeared without a trace! He shouldn't be coming to Xueyuan...

  "Oh oh oh...... I'll go change right away."

  After being stunned for a moment, Tong Mai's sleepiness was completely disrupted!

  Let's work! Let's work! For ideals, for freedom... all kinds of efforts.

  Early in the morning, she had been wiping and wiping... her hands were almost broken, but she couldn't rest for a while.

  This old lady is too shrewd and demanding. She has been following closely behind her, with a pair of piercing eyes staring at her all the time, not allowing Tong Mai to be lazy for a moment.

  I've gone mad! I've gone mad! I'm almost going crazy!

  But Old Lady Huo was delighted, gazing at Tong Mai's forehead which was covered in tears, looking exhausted and miserable, her heart was overjoyed...

  But honestly, this girl is really not someone who gets things done!

  Isn't it just doing some household chores? Look at her worried face and pouted lips, showing her strong dissatisfaction.

  "Hey, hey, hey...... I'm telling you...... that Tong Xiaomai...... stop right there!" Old Lady Huo shouted, leaning on her cane.

  "What's wrong with you?!" Tong Mai retorted angrily, his tone extremely displeased.

  "What's wrong with you? Look... look at this! What is this? It's all black, and you call that clean?" Old Lady Huo stroked the incense burner with her hand, very dissatisfied with Tong Mai.

  "This is impossible to wipe clean! Your family is so wealthy, the incense burner should have been replaced long ago! Besides, didn't you see it earlier? I've already wiped it at least ten times!" Tong Mai retorted very reasonably.

  She had been using the incense burner for a long time and it was hard to wipe clean, but she insisted on picking at its flaws! Even if she promised Ho Yize that he wouldn't make his grandmother angry! However, now she is very reasonable and shouldn't be bullied by Old Lady Ho.

  "I don't care how many times you wipe it! You can wipe it ten times or a hundred times, what I want is cleanliness! Do you understand what cleanliness means?" Old Lady Hu's anger surged dramatically as she saw Tong Mai arguing back.

  "Sorry! I don't understand! All I know is that even if I scrub this incense burner until it's worn out, it still can't be cleaned! I couldn't have imagined that the Ho family, being so wealthy, would be stingy about replacing their ancestors' incense burner with a new one. Instead, they pretend to be dignified and make things difficult for us servants! Old lady, you don't know, do you? If the incense burner isn't replaced regularly, our ancestors won't manifest!"

  Of course, the last sentence was purely her nonsense, intentionally annoying Old Lady Huo.

  However, as soon as the words left her mouth, Tong Mai wished she could bite off her own tongue. She knew that by saying this, she would inevitably provoke her anger again. After all, elderly people like her were extremely superstitious about such things, how could they allow others to speak recklessly?

  "You... you damned fool! You... what did you just say? You actually dare to say that our ancestors don't have spiritual power! Do you want to die?!"

  Old Lady Huo's cane made a loud noise, almost piercing a hole in the floor as she approached Tong Mai, her fiery temper shooting straight at his face.

  "Our ancestors of the Huo family, how can we tolerate you, a dead girl, speaking so recklessly! You...you come here and kowtow to confess your crime!"

  "What's going on? Why should I plead guilty? I'm not even a member of the Huo family!" Is she really that confused?!

  "You want to be one of us, the Hus? Forget it! You've said something you shouldn't have, now you must kneel down and apologize!" Old Lady Hu insisted, her roar almost blowing off the roof of Xueyuan.

  The housekeeper rushed over, "Old lady, what's going on? Even if something big happened, you can't get angry, calm down! Calm down! Be careful not to raise your blood pressure..."

  Cut!

  Tong Mai looked at the butler with great disdain, who was speaking in a low and humble tone, bowing his head and nodding. Damn it, I hope your blood pressure rises! Otherwise, she would be whispering and shouting non-stop in my ear...

  "Oh dear...... My blood pressure has really gone up!" Old Lady Huo was also a person who would make a big deal out of nothing, and upon hearing what the butler said, she immediately clutched her head and shook it repeatedly.

  "Madam, let me help you rest first." The butler thought of separating Tong Mai and Old Lady Huo to avoid a big fight in the family.

  "No...no way!" Old Lady Huo, who had just pretended to have high blood pressure and a faint voice, immediately returned to her sharp yelling tone. "This dead girl, she's got a wicked heart...she actually cursed our Hu family ancestors not to rest in peace...I'm so angry I could die! I'm so angry I could die!"

  Old Lady Hu was really angry now, punching her feet and pounding her chest, with a fierce glint in her eyes as she stared at Tong Mai, as if she wanted to destroy her.

  Tong Mai still had an unrepentant look, "I said it was originally! Butler, you judge the reason. The incense burner for worshiping ancestors either needs to be replaced with a new one or left here without moving. Where is the logic in wiping it? This has moved the foundation! Of course, it won't show up."

  "Xiao Mai, do your job! Stop talking nonsense!" The housekeeper said, wishing he could immediately cover her mouth. Now that Old Lady Huo was so angry, she still had the nerve to argue back and forth, speaking without restraint.

  Old Lady Huo was so angry that she felt dizzy...

  "Housekeeper... hurry up... get this girl out! Out! Let her go sweep other rooms!" Old Lady Huo's face turned pale with rage, and her words became stuttered. Now she didn't want to see this dead girl even more.

  "Yes, yes, yes...... I'll take her out right away." The housekeeper hastily pushed Tong Mai away, "Tong Xiao Mai, hurry up! Hurry up! You're really a troublemaker."

  Harm people's essence...

  Tong Mai's face turned red with rage. "Fine, consider me a troublemaker then! But I never asked to come here, I was forced to! Do you know what it means to be forced?"

  It's not just the wife who has a temper, she's also burning with rage! Her belly and chest are filled to the brim with pent-up anger that can't be released...

  Especially after putting on this set of clothes, she finally understood why Old Lady Huo wanted her to wear this dress!

  It's not lace, nor any kind of uniform temptation... She was simply teasing her.

  This tiny, tight-fitting outfit is impossible to work in, especially this damned ultra-mini skirt that exposes me at the slightest carelessness! Most importantly, it severely affects her "work progress".

  "I know! I know! But... what can be done? You've come all this way, what else can you do? Our old lady is actually not a bad person, she just has a bit of a strange temper. If you grit your teeth and bear with it for a bit, won't the month pass in the blink of an eye? And besides, even if you don't consider anything else, think about the 50,000 yuan for this one month! I've been working as a housekeeper for the Ho family for so many years, my salary is much lower than yours." The housekeeper was also trying to be a good person, mediating to resolve the family conflict and war.

  "The key is, I don't care about the 50,000 yuan!" She really didn't care! But she did care about her freedom, and didn't want to be controlled by the dead man Huo Yize anymore, living a life of constant fear, being "blackmailed" and "coerced".

  "She's giving me 50,000 yuan a month just to torment me! You're different, housekeeper, you're working, I'm suffering."

  The more Tong Mai said, the angrier he became...

  After the housekeeper and Tong Mai left, Old Lady Huo bowed repeatedly to her ancestors' memorial tablets, "Sorry, sorry... Ancestors, please bless our Hu family with peace and prosperity, and a full house of children..."

  She closed her eyes and prayed silently.

  After finishing his prayers, he hastily went to find Tong Mai with the help of his crutches, "Tong Xiao Mai, Tong Xiao Mai... where are you?"

  "What's wrong with you again?" Tong Mai slipped out from beside her, her voice extremely helpless.

  "What's wrong with me? I'm going to watch you do things! You can refuse to confess in front of your ancestors, but as a punishment, you won't be allowed to eat for the rest of the day. And you must sweep every corner of the Huo house clean. If you don't, the punishment will continue tomorrow. Let's see how long you can hold on! That damned girl is so infuriating! So infuriating! Housekeeper, keep an eye on her. If she slacks off even a bit, report to me immediately."

  Old Lady Huo seemed too lazy to follow her, the more she looked at her, the angrier she became in her heart, it's better not to see her at all...
