The neighbors all praised Qiu Dayu for being lucky enough to marry the village chief's daughter.
Thanks to Qiu Yan's help, Zhao Yuanyuan is now a role model that all the girls in the village strive to emulate.
Because of Zhao Yuanyuan, they all started learning embroidery.
Furthermore, they often tried to curry favor with Zhao Yuanyuan, asking her to speak on their behalf to Jiang Liu so that they could also work in the clothing shop and become an embroiderer.
Of course, they didn't dare tell Jiang Liu about this to her face.
In Jiang Liu's presence, they always felt an invisible sense of oppression.
It's probably the air of a rich young lady that Jiang Liu exudes.
Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't make that decision on her own.
She also wanted to ask Jiang Liu.
Perfect timing, Master, no, now it's Second Sister-in-law.
Second Sister-in-law's business has been expanding, so she needs to hire embroiderers from time to time.
Upon learning this, Jiang Liu only told Zhao Yuanyuan to choose two reliable people first.
She will hire more people once the business has grown further.
Hiring is different from buying people, and it has its own advantages.
If the person you hire is not good enough, you can simply fire them.
If you buy it, then it's yours for life.
If you can't do it, just send it back. It's pitiful. I won't give it away. Jiang Liu doesn't keep idle people around.
After all, not everyone can do embroidery.
Before heading to the Western Regions, Qiu Yan and Gu Qian returned to their village together. As they said goodbye, they also thought about harvesting their chili peppers a second time.
After returning and visiting their master and mistress, the two of them, carrying small baskets, went to the fields together.
The chili peppers are growing very well, a tender red color, shining brightly in the morning sun.
As Qiu Yan looked at the chili peppers, her mind was filled with images of delicious and abundant dishes.
She decided that when she cooked today, she would taste two of the vegetables first, and then save the rest for planting.
"Girl, what are you busy doing? What is this bright red thing?"
At this moment, Old Man Zhao, supported by Zhao Juan, slowly drove up.
Qiu Yan looked up and smiled at Old Man Zhao.
"Great-grandfather, this is a chili pepper."
After saying their goodbyes, she and Zhao Juan nodded to each other in greeting.
Gu Qian also stood up and greeted his great-grandfather.
"Is it also a medicinal herb? How come my great-grandfather has never seen it before?" Old Zhao picked one and examined it closely in his hand.
"Yes, after being air-dried, it can be used in medicine." Since medicine and food share the same origin, Qiu Yan nodded.
"Sigh, she knows more than the girl." Old Zhao smiled kindly and put the chili peppers in his hand into the small basket on the ground.
Old Zhao didn't say much before drowsiness overwhelmed him.
“Grandpa, let’s go back. You’re already so old, yet you still can’t control your legs. If we don’t go back now, your legs might give way, and I’ll have to carry you back.”
Although Zhao Juan's words were reproachful, they were tinged with concern.
She has carried her great-grandfather home on her back many times.
Don't let her appearance fool you; her great-grandfather was so thin he was practically skin and bones, and he didn't even weigh as much as she did.
Moreover, she possessed immense strength.
"What's the point of going back? Home isn't as comfortable as outside." Great-Grandpa didn't want to go back.
After finishing his explanation, he didn't forget to ask Qiu Yan,
"Don't you think so, girl?"
Zhao Juan: "Of course not. You can lie down at home, but given your condition, it's not advisable to walk for extended periods."
“Zhao Juan, if Great-Grandpa is happy, then let him be. Later, have Gu Qian take Great-Grandpa home,” Qiu Yan said, echoing Old Man Zhao’s words.
Gu Qian nodded in agreement.
Old Zhao's smile grew even more kind.
“Girl, no need. Your great-grandfather can manage on his own. There’s no need to trouble you, my little husband.”
He waved his hand, pulling his wrist away from Zhao Juan's elbow, trying to make himself more flexible.
While her great-grandfather was distracted, Zhao Juan clutched her upset stomach.
She suddenly felt nauseous.
