Pan Di was startled and quickly composed himself, but because of his panic, his facial expressions were somewhat chaotic, like someone having an epileptic seizure.
Zhao Qingyan gave her a cold look, then turned back to watch the six-person battle.
Seeing that the fight was almost over, they roughly knew the skill level of each player.
Those three guards, Tong San, Tong Wu, and Tong Ba, would probably only manage a draw if they fought alongside Zhao Qingshan's brothers.
Coast is a bit better in terms of fighting skills, probably better than his eldest and second uncles, but he still can't beat his own father.
Zhao Xinsheng has a lot of strength, but he doesn't have much skill.
As for the remaining Lu Feng, this kid has some skills, but they're all just flashy moves.
In conclusion, these individuals still need to train; their speed and strength are insufficient.
The grandmother and grandson exchanged a glance, and then Mrs. Huang spoke.
"Stop, that's enough. You have a general idea of your skills. The Sea Breeze Coast brothers are the best among you, their strength and techniques are quite good."
The three Tong brothers were second in skill.
Zhao Xinsheng has brute strength but no skill, while Lü Feng only has an empty shell and no real power.
The seven of you need to intensify your practice, focusing on strength and speed, and practice against each other.
In addition, Lü Feng and Zhao Xinsheng, you two should humbly learn from the other five. I will check your progress in a month.
Alright, you guys discuss it tonight. There are a few cabins around the mountain; each of you find one to stay in. Be alert tonight and watch out for anyone or any animals sneaking in.
You will take turns patrolling the area. There is water in the accommodations; you can wash up first and then come back for dinner in 15 minutes.
After arranging the seven people, he turned to Pan Di and Ru Yue behind him.
"You two come with me. This is the kitchen. We have rice and noodles, and there are vegetables over there. We'll make a meal in 15 minutes, enough for the nine of you."
After saying that, Huang left the kitchen.
As for what those two people ate, she didn't care.
She wanted to see if the two cooks could stay, since they were going to stay in the house. If they weren't good people, it would be better to get rid of them sooner rather than later.
"Grandma, there's something wrong with that Pan Di. She always looks disdainful, as if our little mountain village hut isn't good enough for her noble status."
Zhao Qingyan told what she had seen.
"Yes, I've also noticed the woman's attitude."
This kind of person is all talk and no action; she'd be a menace anywhere. Tomorrow I'll have Qian San send her away, back to where she came from. The Zhao family is too small for them.”
Ms. Huang calmly stated her decision.
There's nothing we can do about it. Maybe hunters are all rather cold-blooded. Anyway, this old woman is very intolerant of any infidelity. If she doesn't like someone, she absolutely won't keep them around.
Pan Di, who was arguing with Ru Yue in the kitchen, was unaware that her disdainful expression had brought her back to reality.
"Ruyue, how could you be so stupid? The old lady didn't say anything about not being able to move, so naturally we have to cook something good for you."
Even if you don't eat it, I'm still craving it. Besides, those guys definitely want something good to eat too, so what's wrong with me adding an extra spoonful of oil?
Besides, why would you choose to eat those mixed grains whose color you can't even tell the difference, instead of the plenty of whole wheat flour? Are you trying to be cheap?
Pan Di delivered the most cutting words to Ru Yue.
Ruyue was provoked by Pandi's last words.
“I am worthless, I am indeed worthless. I am someone else’s slave now, and as a slave, I should do what a slave is supposed to do.”
Don't think that just because the old lady and the third young lady are easy to talk to, you don't have to treat yourself like a servant.
You have plenty of grains but you insist on making that precious wheat flour. Do you think you're still the prefect's kitchen?
Don't you even remember how you were sold in the first place?
Do you want to be sold again?
Don't let your own foolishness drag me down with you.
Ruyue's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sharp edge.
They all came from the brokerage business; everyone knows each other's background. With that, he tossed his apron onto the stove and left the kitchen.
She's not planning to cook this meal.
After leaving the kitchen, not knowing where to go, I stood at the kitchen doorway, trying my luck.
After thinking it over carefully, he turned back to the kitchen.
Pan Di was munching on a cucumber.
Just moments ago she confidently declared she would make wheat flour, but now she hasn't even kneaded the dough. Ruyue's face was incredibly grim.
"Get out of the way. If you're not going to work, then stay out of the way. I'll cook."
Ruyue's voice was quite loud and very irritable.
Pan Di was also startled and said disdainfully, "What are you pretending for? You're just a lackey."
Ruyue put down the basin and slapped Pandi across the face.
"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. I'm a servant, so I know what a servant should do."
Unlike you, who are clearly worthless, yet insist on acting like a pampered princess.
You'd better keep your eyes peeled and not think that the old lady and young lady are easy to bully, and that you can act up here.
"Let me tell you, if you dare ruin my peaceful days here, I'll kill you."
As Ruyue spoke, she picked up a kitchen knife and brandished it at Pandi, which terrified Pandi, causing him to scream repeatedly.
This woman, perhaps out of her mind, clutched her head and ran out, heading straight for the main house.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Madam, help!"
The Huang family's son and grandson were chatting inside when they heard screams and came out. Then they saw Pandi rushing towards them, clutching his head.
"What kind of behavior is this, making such a racket? What happened?" Madam Huang asked.
When Pan Di saw Huang Shi and Zhao Qingyan come out, he didn't greet them, let alone kneel or kowtow. Instead, he sat down on the ground.
"Madam, please help me! Ruyue is trying to kill me! Please, Madam, do me justice!"
He was covered in snot and tears, he was a real slob.
Huang narrowed her eyes. "Hmm, then tell me, why did Ruyue want to kill you?"
"Huh? She...she wanted to make wheat flour, but I wouldn't let her, and she called me stupid, saying the employer never said we should eat mixed grains."
Why should I be the one interfering in everything? They say they'll kill me if I ruin her life.
Pan Di lied without batting an eye. But she forgot that she had just eaten cucumber, hadn't swallowed it properly, and hadn't rinsed her mouth.
Now, when you open your mouth, you can see that there are still some green bits inside.
Both Huang and Zhao Qingyan spend most of their time in the mountains, and their sharp hearing and eyesight are not just words; their eyesight is truly excellent.
Just by looking at Pan Di's mouth, you can tell that this woman has just eaten something.
But it's not mealtime yet, which means this woman isn't an honest person.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go check it out right away and see what's going on."
Huang kept her eyes narrowed, her expression unchanging.
Seeing that Huang was going to the kitchen to see what was going on, Pandi perked up and said loudly as he walked,
"Madam, you must stand up for me."
