After bringing He Ting home, Samuel was going to tidy up a room for He Ting, Lydia came down from upstairs.
"Samuel, what are you doing? Who is this?" Lydia asked Samuel in a questioning tone.
"Auntie He, I asked you to come back. She'll cook for our family in the future and clean up the room," Samuel said.
"Hire the servant?"
Lydia angrily walked up to Samuel and said in a cold voice, "Now you are really strong-minded. You don't need to apply for my treat, do you? If you don't want to cook for us, I'll cook for myself."
"Okay." Samuel glanced at Lydia and turned to He Ting and said, "Aunt He, since someone is cooking, you just need to clean up in the future."
Lydia was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. How could she cook? Since Samuel came to the Sue family, she had been far away from the kitchen and got used t o the life of eating. Just saying like that, Samuel took i t seriously.
"You are not qualified to eat what I cook." Lydia looked at Samuel coldly and continued, "How much money d o you want to pay her? It has nothing to do with our family."
"Don't worry, I won’t let you pay a single cent," Samuel SAID.
Seeing Samuel wanted He Ting to stay in the guest room, Lydia did not agree. She said, "She’s just a servant. How can she stay in the guest room? What about the guests who come in the future? Just go to the storage room and sleep on the floor."
He Ting knew that her status was humble, and she was not qualified to live in such a high-class villa. It was enough to have a shelter from the wind and rain. She said to Samuel, "I’d better live in a storage room. This is a guest room. How can I live here?"
Lydia looked at He Ting with a cold expression and said disdainfully, "At least you know your place."
"Aunt He, this is my home. You can live wherever I want you to." Samuel said faintly and took He Ting's luggage into the room.
Lydia almost went mad with anger. How could Samuel be so disrespectful to her in front of a servant? What position would she have in the future in this family?
"Samuel, are you sure you want to do this?" Lydia looked at Samuel with a malicious look.
"Aunt He, if anyone makes things difficult for you in this family in the future, just tell me." Samuel ignored Lydia.
He Ting was in a dilemma. She knew Samuel was a good-for-nothing in the Sue family. Although what she saw was different from the rumors, she did not want to go too far because she caused conflicts between the two of them. After all, Samuel had helped her so much.
"Samuel, I really don't need to stay here," He Ting said.
"That's enough. Don't talk about this anymore. No one can change my decision. You should familiarize yourself with the house. I have to go out for a while," Samuel said.
He Ting nodded and agreed.
