Spatial Farm Life: Raising My Kid, Abusing Scum, and Keeping Busy With Life Chapter 13: I Will Definitely Keep It a Secret

Chapter 13: I Will Definitely Keep It a Secret

She embroidered slowly to let the two girls observe. The sisters already had a foundation in their embroidery skills, so she only needed to give them so pointers.

One taught seriously, while the other two learned.

"Alright, you guys find a piece of cloth to practice on first. You can't bite off more than you can chew."

"Yes, Auntie Qiao!"

Shopkeeper Lu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and sighed emotionally.

"Why are you so generous? You teach them like it's nothing. With such good craftsmanship, they should at least give you a master's salute. If you teach them so casually, it will make us look petty."

"If you feel bad about it, I can take them as my disciples. Ruxin and Ruyi are good children, and it's not a bad deal. However, I'm a married woman who was divorced. I'm afraid it'll be bad for their reputation if they take as their master."

"You didn't do anything wrong. What's there to lose your reputation about? What does learning embroidery have to do with your reputation?"

Shopkeeper Lu quickly got up and went to the inner room to prepare tea. She called the sisters in and gave them so instructions before the family of three ca out.

The two formally bowed to Qiao Mai, and Qiao Mai gladly accepted these disciples.

She liked embroidery, but it was only her hobby. She couldn't make a living by doing it for years. She accepted them so they could carry forward the embroidery she had learned and repay Shopkeeper Lu's kindness.

Shopkeeper Lu was so happy that tears welled in her eyes when she saw Qiao Mai take in her daughters as disciples.

"Sister, I don't even know how to thank you."

"Sister Lu, there's no need to be so polite with . Compared to my life, this is nothing."

"I'm not a fool. I know what's light and what's heavy. In short, I sincerely thank you."

"In front of you three, I won't say anything else. The fact that you acknowledged as your master needs to be kept to ourselves. Don't spread it. In the eyes of outsiders, I'm just a worker learning embroidery in the shop."

"I know. I'll definitely keep it a secret for you."

After a while, custors ca to the shop. Shopkeeper Lu started to get busy. Qiao Mai lowered her head and was embroidering in the innermost part of the shop.

The people who ca here were all girls and won from the nearby villages. Custors ca every day.

The news that Qiao Mai worked in the shop had been spread far since Madam Zhou Du recognized her.

At the sa ti, Qiao Mai's matter was also discussed as an interesting piece of news in the town and villages.

In addition to Madam Zhou Du's big mouth, so people who ca to the embroidery workshop for a commission all looked inside.

Usually, there were only three people in the embroidery workshop. Now, there was a fourth person, and it was a young woman. They could guess who this person was.

"Hey, is that Madam Qiao, who was almost tortured to death by the Tian family?"

"It must be. Didn't soone say she was working in Shopkeeper Lu's shop? Shopkeeper Lu only had her two daughters here. That person was her, right?"

After a while, a woman from Peach Blossom Village ca. Qiao Mai didn't know her, but soone did.

Everyone imdiately pulled her and asked," Hey, Zhang. Look, is that person from your village?"

The Zhang family mber scratched her head and curled her lips.

"Who else could it be? The news has spread in our village that Madam Qiao has won the favor of a benefactor and is now working in the embroidery workshop."

"Oh, she's really lucky."

"Look, tsk tsk. She looks like a proper human now. She's sitting there pretending. Why did this good fortune go to her? Pfft!"

So were jealous; so were mocking; so were disdainful; so were resentful.

They thought Qiao Mai got lucky with a good deal. It should have been them. God was really blind.

They didn't dare to say anything in the shop and stood outside. Even so, Qiao Mai heard their conversation.

Qiao Mai ignored such blatant abuse. She just lowered her head and did what she should do.

There were all kinds of people who liked to gossip. If she got mad about this, she would have died of anger long ago.

Shopkeeper Lu also heard it at the counter. She coughed heavily and said loudly to the door.

"Soone is still not poor enough. The ones starving and looking for food won't talk behind people's backs. If you don't want to get a job, say it. Stop talking about my people. I don't welco you!"

When the won outside heard Shopkeeper Lu's words, their faces all turned red. If it were a villager, they would have turned hostile long ago.

They couldn't afford to offend Shopkeeper Lu and didn't dare to offend her either. Therefore, when they heard this, they imdiately dispersed and went back to doing what they were supposed to do.

Watching them leave, Shopkeeper Lu rolled her eyes and spat outside.

"A bunch of village won who love to gossip. I'm not afraid of them nagging, but I'm afraid they will turn white into black. There are even people who jump into the river because of these people. It's not an exaggeration to say that they can kill people. I hate people like this the most."

Qiao Mai smiled but did not raise her head.

"Suicide is too fragile. Other people have mouths. We can't seal them all, right? It's enough to know I am innocent."

"You have a generous heart, but I don't. If I find out which bastard dares to fra , I'll definitely smash their head."

Qiao Mai smiled and didn't say anything else. She didn't want to talk. She rarely talked about things that could be solved with her fists.

Therefore, she would not argue with those who were vile. If she were angered, she would only quietly settle the other party so they would never be able to bully her. She was not a good person.

Before she ca here, she had killed countless people. So were good, and so were evil. Although she had no choice, she still killed them.

Therefore, she would kill whoever touched her for Ling'er and herself in this place. If soone wanted to kill her with their mouth, she would not be polite to that person and use her hands to finish them off.

A trace of killing intent flashed in Qiao Mai's eyes. This type of person was not worth her taking action. She had to focus on the present and wait until she had a firm foothold here.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days flew by. She had been here for nearly a month.

In this month, she had gained nearly 20 pounds of at. Her face had also swelled up, and her hands were no longer like chicken claws.

It was easier to gain weight than to lose weight. After a month, her body had basically returned to normal.

Qiao Mai's little face was ruddy. Her eyebrows were thin and curved, and her single eyelids were especially lively.

She smiled at everyone she t, making people involuntarily have a good impression of her.

Her loose clothes covered her petite body. If it weren't for her hairstyle, people would think she was a little girl.

One day in the middle of March, she cut the embroidery thread, took a pair of scissors and cut it along the outer circle of the embroidery, and used a thread to sew the outer edge of the cloth neatly.

Just as she was gesturing on the fan fra to see how to stretch the cloth, a couple ca in from outside the shop.

The counter was at the door, and Shopkeeper Lu was inside checking out today's accounts. She felt that soone had entered the shop, so she looked up. It was not an important custor, so she would let her daughter handle it.

However, she felt sothing was wrong. She raised her head again and looked at the couple.

"Excuse , are you here to buy embroidery or to take on a job?"

"We, we're looking for soone!"

The angry couple looked as if they were looking for a fight.

Shopkeeper Lu was a smart person. She looked at Qiao Mai and raised her head.

When she saw the Tian family couple, she placed the embroidery work on the table and imdiately walked over.

"So it's you guys. Are you here to look for ?"

"Yes, you black-hearted person. What did you say when you left the Tian family?"

When Old Tian and Madam Tian Li ntioned this, Qiao Mai imdiately understood what was going on.

"It's really the sa as always. You can't wait to bla everything on . There are so many people in the village who know about this. Why did you only look for ?"

"If I don't look for you, who should I look for? You're the one who's spouting nonsense outside."

Shopkeeper Lu was unhappy when she heard that. She imdiately stood up and walked over to stand beside Qiao Mai.

"Go inside and do your work. I'm here."

Qiao Mai smiled at her and lowered her head to continued working.
