Chapter 850: Chapter 853: Not Real
Qiao Duo’er gave a thumbs up, "This idea is great, I hope everyone will actively participate. Also, I think this should be written into the Embroidery Room’s rules."
The rules of the Embroidery Room dictated that violations would meet with corresponding punishments.
The most important aspect was that everything was written down in black and white, so no one could deny it.
Everyone agreed unanimously; the atmosphere in the Embroidery Room was excellent, and nobody wanted it spoiled by a few individuals.
After settling the Embroidery Ladies, Qiao Duo’er showed Fat Aunt and Chao Lian the office.
"How do you like the office I’ve prepared for you?"
Qiao Duo’er was very satisfied with the layout of the room; on the left side was a row of bookshelves, not far from the bookshelves was a desk, and next to it was a small tea table for receiving guests.
In addition, two paintings hung on the wall, giving the office a strong scholarly vibe.
In short, everything here was exquisite.
Fat Aunt couldn’t help but exclaim, "Duo’er, I feel like this is a study room for a wealthy family!"
Chao Lian nodded hurriedly, "Right, this is even made of Huali wood, which typical households wouldn’t even dream of using for a desk!"
Even though they were all family, Qiao Duo insisted on perfection.
But being in such an environment surely made one feel good; whether drawing embroidery patterns or embroidering flowers, the level of work had truly evolved.
But that was far from the end of it.
Qiao Duo’er, as if performing magic, opened a door in the wall, "Take a look at this; this is the real benefit!"
Duo’er opened a door to reveal a simple bed; a quick rest here at noon would surely make one more spirited in the afternoon.
Chao Lian’s and Fat Aunt’s eyes lit up. Sometimes after sitting for so long, they dreamed of lying down for a while.
"Sister Duo’er, I’m so in love with you!" Chao Lian said, moved.
She felt like she came here not to work but to enjoy blessings instead.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
Since marrying Erhu, Chao Lian’s comical nature became undeniably apparent.
More importantly, she saw Sun Erhu standing at the door, his face so dark it looked like ink could drip from it, presumably fuming with anger.
Chao Lian turned around and asked weakly, "Erhu, why are you here?"
Erhu was always supportive of her work and seldom came to find her during her work hours.
"You little swindler, you promised to love only me! If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known you have feelings for your sister-in-law," Erhu said sourly.
He knew Chao Lian was joking; he was just using this opportunity to express his dissatisfaction.
Lately, Chao Lian had been so busy with Embroidery Room matters that she had forgotten about her own husband.
Chao Lian blinked, struggling to find words, "It was just a casual remark, not for real."
"So you were lying to me, how heartbreaking."
Qiao Duo’er felt genuinely hurt, after finally receiving a confession, only to find out it was said casually, just a tease!
Chao Lian stamped her foot, at a loss for words.
"Erhu, let me go out and talk to you."
Chao Lian was quick-witted, avoiding being in an awkward position with both parties.
Once she had moved a bit away, Erhu reminded her, "Sister-in-law, next time you’re heartbroken, press on your chest, not your stomach."
Doing so could make someone think her stomach was upset, or that the "little thing" inside was causing a fuss.
Qiao Duo rolled her eyes; she had just been going along with Erhu’s charade.
"I can’t be bothered with you. Fat Aunt, Big Girl received an order for a screen, and I need to talk to you about it so you can arrange for people to get started soon. They want it by the Mid-Autumn Festival."
