    Gu Yundong shook her head. “There’s no need for that. Sitian’s embroidery skills are good. She ns to make some handkerchiefs and screens to sell. Don’t worry, Aunt. She’s not someone who’s greedy for small gains and has no ns. She even said that she’ll pay rent if she stays here.”


    Aunt Ke raised her eyebrows. “From what you said, that girl is not bad.”


    “So, if you get to know her better, you will find that she is a very gentle person,” Gu Yundong said and hurriedly added, “Of course, you are also a very gentle person.”


    “I don’t know if I’m gentle or not. I only know that your embroidery skills aren’t good. If you have time, you should learn more from Miss Shen, lest you don’t even know how to embroider your own wedding dress. You’re already an adult, but you can’t even embroider a handkerchief. If your wedding dress is crooked and doesn’t look good, it’ll be embarrassing.”


    Gu Yundong felt as if her soul had been struck by a blow. Aunt Ke was merciless with her words. Wasn’t it good to give her some face and talk about her other merits?


    “Isn’t the wedding dress something you can buy?”


    Aunt Ke red at her. “You’re nning to buy your own wedding dress? Let me tell you, once you buy it, the entire Yongfu Vige and even the entire Fengkai County will know that Miss Gu can’t even use an embroidery needle.”


    Gu Yundong meekly stopped talking. Didn’t they say that the rich families’ girls didn’t have to embroider their wedding dresses? The embroiderers at home had already made them. They just had to get the new bride to finish thest few stitches. Why did she have to embroider everything herself?


    Aunt Ke could tell what she was thinking at a nce. She immediately sneered. “The problem is that you can’t even finish thest few stitches.”


    Gu Yundong said, “Are you looking down on me? I’ll go look for Shen Sitian now. I don’t believe that I can’t even use an embroidery needle.”


    She turned around and left. Aunt Ke stood rooted to the ground, raised her eyebrows, andughed.


    You’ve finally been tricked. However, to be honest, you don’t know how to embroider at all. It’s 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, “This 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.”


    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 Xin 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 ced 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 wouldn’t be any problems.


    On the other hand, Madam Dong didn’t leave after delivering the bag. Instead, she waited for the two children to leave before getting down to business..
