Gu Yundong shook her head. âThereâs no need for that. Sitianâs embroidery skills are good. She plans to make some handkerchiefs and screens to sell. Donât worry, Aunt. Sheâs not someone whoâs greedy for small gains and has no plans. She even said that sheâll pay rent if she stays here.â
Aunt Ke raised her eyebrows. âFrom what you said, that girl is not bad.â
âSo, if you get to know her better, you will find that she is a very gentle person,â Gu Yundong said and hurriedly added, âOf course, you are also a very gentle person.â
âI donât know if Iâm gentle or not. I only know that your embroidery skills arenât good. If you have time, you should learn more from Miss Shen, lest you donât even know how to embroider your own wedding dress. Youâre already an adult, but you canât even embroider a handkerchief. If your wedding dress is crooked and doesnât look good, itâll be embarrassing.â
Gu Yundong felt as if her soul had been struck by a blow. Aunt Ke was merciless with her words. Wasnât it good to give her some face and talk about her other merits?
âIsnât the wedding dress something you can buy?â
Aunt Ke glared at her. âYouâre planning to buy your own wedding dress? Let me tell you, once you buy it, the entire Yongfu Village and even the entire Fengkai County will know that Miss Gu canât even use an embroidery needle.â
Gu Yundong meekly stopped talking. Didnât they say that the rich familiesâ girls didnât have to embroider their wedding dresses? The embroiderers at home had already made them. They just had to get the new bride to finish the last few stitches. Why did she have to embroider everything herself?
Aunt Ke could tell what she was thinking at a glance. She immediately sneered. âThe problem is that you canât even finish the last few stitches.â
Gu Yundong said, âAre you looking down on me? Iâll go look for Shen Sitian now. I donât believe that I canât even use an embroidery needle.â
She turned around and left. Aunt Ke stood rooted to the ground, raised her eyebrows, and laughed.
Youâve finally been tricked. However, to be honest, you donât know how to embroider at all. Itâs really embarrassing.
Gu Yundong had honestly learned how to⦠draw the picture from Shen Sitian.
This was exactly what she was good at. Gu Yundong felt that it was quite simple.
However, when she tied all the embroidery threads, she began to doubt herself.
Aunt Ke was in despair, and so was Shen Sitian, who was teaching her.
Who would have thought that the seemingly capable and omnipotent Gu Yundong would embroider grass as if she was going to the execution ground?
Gu Yundong thought, âThis means that the heavens are guiding me in the right direction. They want me to work hard to earn money so that I can hire embroiderers to make clothes for me.â
Hence, she went to bed with a clear conscience. She still had to wake up early tomorrow to see her 50 acres of orchard.
However, the next day, Madam Dong came over before she even left the house.
She was holding a school bag in her hand. It was for Bian Yuanzhi. Knowing that he was going to school too, Dong Xiulan rushed to make it overnight. Anyway, she was used to it.
Bian Yuanzhi was overjoyed as he held his bag. He thanked Madam Dong and carefully placed the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that Gu Yundong had prepared earlier into the bag.
Then, he got into the carriage with slight apprehension and followed Gu Yunshu to the school.
Gu Yundong had been wondering if he needed her to send him to school on his first day.
Later on, she thought about it and decided to forget it. With Yunshu around and the familiar school, there wouldnât be any problems.
On the other hand, Madam Dong didnât leave after delivering the bag. Instead, she waited for the two children to leave before getting down to business..
