Chapter 1029 Orchid's Decision
Li was extremely upset, but since she couldn't talk to Da Niu, she could only turn to Zhou Qiao.
As Lu's daughter-in-law, Zhou Qiao naturally had to help with the chores after the meal.
She had just finished washing the dishes and was wiping her hands when she saw her mother-in-law walking towards her.
Seeing Li's unfriendly expression, Zhou Qiao's heart skipped a beat. She knew that the thing she had been avoiding would eventually have to be faced, and she sighed inwardly.
Li walked up to Zhou Qiao, glared at her, and said in a low voice, "Come with me, I have something to ask you."
Zhou Qiao pursed her lips, lowered her head, and walked out of the kitchen.
Li originally wanted to take Zhou Qiao to her room to talk, but the old lady and others were all there, and there were people in Da Niu's room, while Lan Hua's boudoir was empty.
She then led Zhou Qiao through the main room and headed directly towards the orchid room.
To everyone's surprise, the door to the room was ajar. Just as Li was about to push the door open, she heard Lan Hua's exclamation from inside, "...Really? Sister Daya, you really want me to go to the shop to learn makeup?"
Li's hand paused slightly, and she quickly withdrew it, then tilted her ear to listen to the sounds inside.
Zhou Qiao was also slightly surprised.
The sound from inside the room started again; it was Shuyou.
"It's true. Aren't you interested in clothes and makeup? We used to have no cosmetics at home, so we couldn't dress up. Now that the shop sells these, wouldn't it be a shame to miss out?"
Lan Hua blushed with excitement and grabbed Shu You's hand. "But, but even though I really like it, I don't know how. I don't understand either. Last time I watched you do someone's makeup, my eyes were blurry."
"So when you first start, you'll have to learn. At first, you won't know how, so no customers will hire you for makeup. You'll just have to help out and learn as you go. That way, the pay won't be very high. If you mind that..."
Before Shu You could finish speaking, Lan Hua hurriedly shook her head, "I don't mind, how could I mind? I'm happy to learn these things. I don't need any wages at all. I'm basically an apprentice, aren't I? Apprentices don't get paid. You see, when my second uncle was a carpenter's apprentice, he didn't have any money either."
Shu You laughed, "Since you're willing, then prepare in the next couple of days, pack your things and come to the county town. But I have to make it clear to you beforehand that shops have their rules, and if you don't do them well, even if you're my sister, I'll still scold you."
"No problem, if I did something wrong, just tell me."
The two exchanged a smile and prepared to leave.
Hearing footsteps, Li quickly pulled Zhou Qiao out of the courtyard.
After leaving the main room, she sighed with a complicated expression.
What should she say now? Even if she knew that the village Da Niu went to was not good, she couldn't possibly let him go back to the county town to be a shopkeeper again.
They've already found something for Lan Hua to do. If she's still not satisfied, she'll be drowned in spit.
And ultimately, it's not easy for women than for men. This orchid isn't married yet, but she already has a job. Even if she gets married in the future, she'll have a skill to rely on, right? She won't suffer when she goes to her husband's family.
If she causes any more trouble, and A-Yu gets upset, not only will Da Niu lose his job, but Lan Hua will also be sent back.
Madam Li sighed heavily, and Zhou Qiao asked softly, "Mother, what do you want to tell me?"
