"If you feel that the Fat Aunt is being unfair, you can go find Chao Lian,"
"However, the embroidery pieces you bring are just for reference, once inside there will be an assessment, and you’ll only get the task if you pass the assessment,"
"The Embroidery Room has assessments every month, and anyone with insufficient quantity or too many defective pieces will be dismissed, so I hope everyone thinks it through before entering,"
Qiao Duo’er spoke unhurriedly, observing the woman’s expression as she spoke.
Indeed, it was as colorful as a palette.
She had never imagined that starting work would be such a hassle, isn’t that intentionally making things difficult?
If that’s the case, she would only stay inside for two hours at most.
The Fat Aunt said angrily, "We’re all neighbors here, everyone knows what your embroidery is like, how can you have the nerve to bring something you didn’t embroider yourself and slander me?"
She asked herself, and she had been conscious clear in this life.
Yet, she never expected to be slandered by her own neighbor!
In fact, the quality of a woman’s needlework can be seen by the clothes worn by her family members.
If the clothing they wear at home has fine stitches and neat patches, the needlework is naturally good.
If the opposite is true, then forget about entering the doors of the Embroidery Room.
Even if the needlework is truly good, it means the person is impatient.
"Aunt, don’t be angry, let’s give her a chance to prove herself,"
Qiao Duo’er gave the Fat Aunt a meaningful look, knowing in her heart the truth and she would not wrong the Fat Aunt.
The Fat Aunt nodded, "After all, I’ve done nothing wrong, and I have nothing to hide, so why fear your accusations, come on in, okay?"
"Wait a moment, there’s something else I need to clarify beforehand; in the future, everyone can participate in the assessments, but wasting fabric and thread will have to be compensated,"
Upon hearing this, many hesitated.
"Duo’er is right, anyone else who wants to come in, let’s join, it’s a good chance to compare with those already inside,"
The Fat Aunt briskly opened the door, welcoming these people.
Because if these people couldn’t prove their skills, it would prove that she hadn’t engaged in favoritism or corruption.
"I just remembered something I need to take care of at home, I need to go back,"
The woman stuffed her handkerchief into her bosom and hurriedly left.
Others also hesitated, fearing they might be the ones to waste the fabric and thread.
"Duo’er, I’ll go back and practice some more, I’ll come back when I’ve improved,"
"No problem, when the time comes everyone can go directly to the Fat Aunt, she’s always been fair, and I trust her completely,"
Qiao Duo’er agreed readily.
There were still a few people left who were very confident in their skills, including Little Wang Clan.
Little Wang Clan hung her head, afraid of being seen by Qiao Duo’er.
The Fat Aunt was a bit uncertain, so she looked towards Qiao Duo’er.
"The Embroidery Room looks for those with good embroidery skills, good character, and a solid work ethic, whoever meets the criteria can stay," Qiao Duo’er said with a slight smile.
With her, personal relationships and resentment mattered not.
The Fat Aunt caught on quickly, "You all come in with me, it’s a perfect opportunity to have a contest with the Embroidery Ladies inside,"
"The Wife of Zheng Hong is truly magnanimous; she can let go of past grievances despite how she was treated before,"
"Not everyone can be like some people, completely disregarding kinship,"
Little Wang Clan gritted her teeth in hatred, why must everyone say Qiao Duo’er is good?
The Fat Aunt quietly said, Duo’er is truly kind, but it’s just that some people are too unfortunate to appreciate it,
Two Hours Later, Show-off gradually handed up their embroidered handkerchiefs, but Little Wang Clan had only completed half.
When working, she liked to fidget and fuss, which wasn’t a problem at first, but as time went on her old habits surfaced, drastically slowing her down.
