Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 637: Investigate, is there anything strange?

"Auntie Wen, this is the new embroiderer, please take care of her." After the clerk made arrangements for her, he left.

"Yes." Aunt Wen agreed, then glanced at Yao Qingnian and took her to the side.

Aunt Wen was about 40 years old and didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with. The clerk told her to follow Aunt Wen, as she was an old employee of the embroidery workshop and was in charge of all matters big and small.

"Auntie, my sister and I just arrived in Lin'an. We have run out of money, so we have no choice but to come to this embroidery workshop to find some work to make a living. Please take care of me." Yao Qingnian tried to get close to Aunt Wen.

"There's nothing to worry about. Just talk less and do more on a daily basis. When you get things done, you can blame me for anything. No matter where you come from, get out of here." Aunt Wen said bluntly.

"Yes."

"Just sit down and help Chen Niang get the wedding dress of Miss Feng out. It must be delivered tomorrow, and there must not be any mistakes. Otherwise, we will all be in trouble."

"Yes, Aunt Wen." Chen Niang nodded. After Aunt Wen left, she called Yao Qingnian to come over to help. Although Chen Niang was not good at speaking, she was much gentler. She asked Yao Qingnian to help on the side, and then started to do her own thing with a lukewarm attitude.

Yao Qingnian thought about finding a chance to ask her later to see if she knew anything about He Min, but after most of the day, everyone in the embroidery workshop was busy with their own things and few people paid attention to her. Chen Niang was also busy with the work at hand.

When the wedding dress was finished, she finally relaxed for a while. But when she checked it carefully, she found that there was a mistake. "It's over, it's over. What should I do? I embroidered it wrong here. What should I do? It's getting late. If I take it apart and start over, not only will the hard work of the past two or three days be wasted, but it has to be delivered tomorrow. Even if I don't sleep tonight, I won't be able to finish it in time."

"Ah! How could this happen!" The embroiderers who were helping on the side hurried over to take a look, and sure enough, they saw that there was a mistake in the embroidery of the wedding dress.

"How could they make such a low-level mistake?" The wedding dress was already in a hurry, and now such a mistake had occurred. It was over. If they couldn't deliver the goods tomorrow and angered the master, they would all be in trouble.

"It's all my fault. I didn't check it carefully. If I had discovered it in time, it would still be in time. Now the whole wedding dress is finished. What should I do?!" Chen Niang had two reasons yesterday, so she was a little absent-minded. When she was doing things, she was naturally distracted and didn't pay attention.

"Why don't we let Aunt Wen take a look?"

"No, given Madam Wen's temper, we will definitely be scolded. She might even tell the master and kick us out! Besides, even if we call her over, it won't help."

"Then let's tear it down again and patch this up together. Can we make it in time?"

"No, it's too late. It's not enough to embroider it directly, let alone take it apart again. Oh! Go and call Aunt Wen over. If anyone is held responsible, I will bear the responsibility alone." Chen Niang looked embarrassed.

Everyone comes here to support their families and earn money. If they are blamed for this and lose their jobs in the embroidery workshop, where can they find such a job? This is all caused by their own distraction, and they cannot let everyone be implicated.

"Are you talking about the problem here?" Yao Qingnian pointed at the mandarin ducks on the wedding dress. It turned out that Na Chen Niang was distracted when embroidering the mandarin ducks, resulting in a part of the mandarin duck pattern being incomplete. This was very particular in ancient times and would be considered unlucky.

"Yeah." The people who were making the wedding dress together were all running around in a panic.

"It's okay, I have a way." Yao Qingnian took a look and then remembered the method that embroiderers in the countryside often used to remedy the mistakes they made when embroidering things.

"Can you do it?" Everyone was a little unconvinced.

"We've got to give it our all. Otherwise, do you have any better idea now?" Yao Qingnian asked Chen Niang to prepare something for her.

No one had a better idea, so they had no choice but to trust Yao Qingnian, who concentrated all his efforts on repairing it.

After about half an hour, the missing parts of the mandarin duck had been filled in, making it look even more lively and three-dimensional.

It turned out that Yao Qingnian had re-embroidered a mandarin duck, and without removing or changing it, she sewed the re-embroidered mandarin duck back on. In this way, the sewn-on mandarin duck not only repaired the original mistakes, but the mandarin duck also seemed to come alive, giving people the illusion that it was swimming.

"Is this okay?" Yao Qingnian asked after receiving the last injection.

"Okay! This looks better than the original one, girl. You are so skillful. Thank you. If you were not here, I really don't know what to do." Chen Niang looked at her gratefully.

"It's okay, it's just a small favor." Young man Yao waved his hand.

Seeing that the problem here was solved, everyone went back to their own business.

Chen Niang was no longer as cold as she was at the beginning and started to get familiar with Yao Qingnian. Taking this opportunity, Yao Qingnian asked her about He Min.

"Mother Chen, I want to ask you, do you know He Min who died in our embroidery workshop a few days ago?"

Chen Niang paused, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before continuing, "Miss, why are you asking this? Do you know He Min?"

“I don’t know him, but the person who introduced us here told me about him. I was a little curious, so I asked.

My sister doesn't know how to embroider, so she's staying in the backyard. I'll ask around so I can take precautions and not let my sister get into trouble or offend an important person."

"What, you have a sister coming with you?"

"Yes, Chen Niang, what's the problem?"

"I advise you to take your sister and leave as soon as possible. Don't stay any longer. Otherwise, if something happens, you will regret it."

"Ah, why? We are penniless and have nowhere to go! Fortunately, Mr. Peng is kind enough to take us in today." Yao Qingnian said in surprise.

"Kind-hearted? You are still too young. Alas, everyone comes here out of necessity and because of family difficulties. Anyway, you have to be careful in this embroidery workshop. And you have to tell your sister to be careful and not to have any unnecessary thoughts. It's not as simple as you think here." Chen Niang looked around again, busy with the rest of the work in her hands, and whispered to her.

"Mrs. Chen, I don't quite understand what you are saying. Can you explain it more clearly? What do these things have to do with my sister? Is there something strange about He Min's death?" Yao Qingnian continued to ask.

"No...no, don't ask anymore. I only said a few more words because you helped me." Chen Niang said hesitantly.

Yao Qingnian looked at her and seemed to know something. She wanted to ask more, but Aunt Wen's voice sounded behind her.
