Farm Tough Girl
Chapter 424 - 424 425 Hatred_1

Chapter 424: Chapter 425: Hatred_1 Chapter 424: Chapter 425: Hatred_1 Muniang felt a chill in her heart upon hearing these words. Guo Yuehua also knew that her intention of making her a maid wasn’t genuinely for her to be a maid all her life but rather to let her suffer for a while, with the intention that one day she would return to the stage. So was Guo Yuehua so fearless because of this?

But why didn’t she think about why she was made to suffer? With her current temperament as a young lady, leaving aside whether Muniang could tolerate it or not, as a businessperson, how could she trust such a person again?

Muniang’s expression turned cold, “How much hardship have you suffered? These are all chores within your duties. Today, for such a trivial matter, you argued with the stewardess, even getting into a fight. Why do you feel so confident? Is it because you’re sure I won’t leave you here for long? Do you think you’re superior to them, so you look down on them?

But Guo Yuehua, you better make your position clear. Right now, you have nothing, you are nothing. If I don’t care about you, you could be even more lowly than those stewardesses. What right do you have to continue indulging your temper?”

Guo Yuehua’s face suddenly turned pale, “You, you, you don’t want to bother with me anymore?”

Disappointment crept into Muniang’s eyes, “When you can curb that temper of yours, we’ll talk. I have always operated on the principle of ‘distrust and do not employ.’ I have been let down by you once already, do you think I’ll make the same mistake again? If you can’t become what I expect you to be, then just spend your life here.”

Having said that, she turned and left.

Guo Yuehua’s mind reeled. Spend her life here? Did the Lady truly intend to no longer care about her?

The stewardess sneered, “Oh, continue seeking pity from the Lady, keep on pretending. You really think the Lady falls for your act? I’ll have you know, the moment you arrived here, the Lady personally instructed me to treat you like any other and not to be considerate at all. You think the Lady will give you special treatment? Dream on!”

There was a burst of laughter from everyone, as Guo Yuehua stood there dumbfounded.

The stewardess shouted, “What are you all standing around for? Get back to work!”

Everyone dispersed, but the stewardess continued to mutter, “It’s not surprising that the Lady doesn’t bother with you anymore. You should learn from Miss Chen, who is knowledgeable and sensible. Even though she comes from a modest background, her upbringing is such that anyone with discerning eyes can see the difference.”

Guo Yuehua remained silent, but a deep hatred was brewing in the depths of her eyes. As she washed Chen Yuhua’s clothes, she could barely restrain herself from tearing them to shreds.

Chen Yuhua, Chen Yuhua, it was always her taking what belonged to her. Everything she enjoyed now should have been hers! What right did the daughter of a lowborn have to her current status? Guo Yuehua clenched her teeth with hate as a sinister plot began to take shape.

This time, Muniang was delivering new clothes to Chen Yuhua. In ancient times, people actually disliked white, especially pure white, which, according to Shen Dong, looked like mourning clothes. So, in fact, no one made white clothes for the market.

The ethereal, white gauze skirt worn by the Little Dragon Girl could only be specially made by Yuyang Embroidery House. Of course, as the leading lady, wearing a single costume throughout the play wouldn’t be acceptable. Moreover, since the design of the clothes received a very positive reaction, quite a few ladies from prominent families had already ordered the Little Dragon Girl’s same style from Yuyang Embroidery House. Taking advantage of this craze, Muniang designed a few more similar outfits and had Chen Yuhua change into a new one every few scenes. Not only did it keep the look fresh, but it also increased the sales for Yuyang Embroidery House.

“This one is really beautiful too. I never imagined white clothes could be made so pretty. Lady, you truly are ingenious and skillful,” said Chen Yuhua with great joy as she looked at the newly brought clothes.

Muniang was embarrassed, “It’s not made by me. If I were to make them with my skills, you probably wouldn’t even want to go on stage.”

Chen Yuhua laughed and said, “But this style is indeed quite exquisite. I’ve heard that many sets of these clothes have already been reserved at Yuyang Embroidery House. Lady, your business acumen is truly impressive. If only I had half your wit, my family wouldn’t have fallen on such hard times.”

As she spoke, the smile on her face faded, tinged with a hint of melancholy.

Muniang remembered that her family had a seriously ill brother and asked, “Is your brother feeling any better?”

Chen Yuhua nodded, “Thanks to having Silver Coin for medical treatment, he has been recuperating these days and has shown some improvement. His complexion is much better, and he seems more spirited. In fact, my parents mentioned just a few days ago that they wanted to personally thank Lady. But knowing how busy you are, I figured you might not have the time, so I stopped them. It’s enough for me to express our gratitude. All of this kindness comes from you, Lady. If it hadn’t been for you, I would probably be left with no choice but to sell myself into servitude.”

Muniang smiled, “No need to thank me. Just focusing on your acting is thanks enough. Besides, you’ve earned it.”

About three to four days later, Zhao Ziming arrived, his face brimming with joy yet marred by bruises of blue and purple, limping as he walked. Muniang was startled by his appearance and hurriedly helped him.

“What are you doing running around in such a state? Do you think you haven’t injured yourself enough?” Muniang asked, exasperated.

Zhao Ziming chuckled merrily, “It’s nothing. I’m so happy I just had to come and thank you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel at ease!”

Muniang thought to herself that he must feel the need to show off.

Indeed, Zhao Ziming cheerfully said, “Qi’er has agreed to marry me. We’ve already set the wedding date. The seventh day of the seventh month next year is when we’ll wed. Mu, you are our matchmaker, so you must attend our wedding!”

As he spoke, he couldn’t contain his euphoria and began to chuckle gleefully. Perhaps he laughed too hard; he winced in pain as the wounds on his face stretched.

Muniang looked at him with disdain. Such a fool – was it really wise for Qi’er to marry him? But then she thought, what does it matter if he’s foolish? As long as he’s devoted to Qi’er, that’s enough. Besides, with Qi’er’s pampered nature, most men would have a hard time handling her. While this fool might be silly, he could take the abuse. They were willing to exchange blows – how perfect!

Muniang felt at ease as she thought about it.

Still, looking at Zhao Ziming’s sorry state, she couldn’t help but ask with suspicion, “The last time those people didn’t seem to hit your legs, how did you end up with a limp?”

Zhao Ziming grinned and said, “It’s nothing. My father saw my injuries when I got home and thought I had been in a fight. He gave me a beating with a stick. My behind hurts quite a bit, so I’m not walking very well, but it’s no big deal.”

While he was speaking, he flopped down onto a chair and immediately jumped up with a yelp.

Muniang was at a loss for words, still doubting the wisdom of Qi’er marrying such a person.
