But for Shaoding Village which was far away from the town, and she, as a single girl, was worried about running into something unpleasant on the way, she would have run away rather than stay here.
That was why Qiao Xuan was never worried about her running away.
Seeing how Liu Yan was behaving, Qiao Xuan sneered. "Sweep the floor clean, chop the wood well and wash all the clothes. No food for you, if you don't finish the work. If you can stay hungry for a couple of days, then you are welcome to do nothing."
She had not entrusted her with any work before, because she wanted to see what Liu Yan could do.
It was never difficult for her to rectify her.
Liu Yan was surprised, unconvinced and extremely furious.
She was certain that the Second Miss had changed. She was different from before.
Or the Second Miss had always been pretending in the past…
Second Miss at this moment was the authentic one.
Liu Yan had never respected Qiao Xuan. So when she was threatened, she was not very happy.
She threatened back in a soft tone. "Second Miss, don't forget that Elder Miss has told me to bring you back for the gift presentation on Mid-autumn Day. I am a person given by Elder Miss and Madam to you. I can only serve you with some tea. You should remember who is behind me. Second Miss, you are humiliating me constantly, that is not good, right?"
Qiao Xuan smiled. "You are wrong. What do you mean by who is behind you? Should I explain my actions to you? Do you think that just because your contract is not in my hands, I can do nothing about you? Mid-Autumn Day is still not here yet. Do you think that I will be afraid of your report to them?"
"Just wait and see what happens if you disobey me, okay?"
Liu Yan's face changed slightly, as she stood motionlessly.
But she still did not want to move. She refused to do any labor work.
She just did not want to do farmer's work. Maids from the mansion never did anything .
Qiao Xuan raised her eyebrows and was about to say something, when Ms. Niu came in with her grandson in arms.
She shouted. "Elder Sister-in-law, you bear the grudge in your mind for so long. What are you staying here for? We are just offering our help…"
Ms. Fang countered immediately. "I don't care! You can do your own work if you want to. We don't need your help, because you are going to say that your time and fields got wasted because you helped us with seedlings. How horrible that would sound."
Ms. Fang told the other two sections of the family not to visit them. She did not help them either.
Second Uncle and Third Uncle had an argument with Ms. Fang, but they never showed up anyway.
They believed that they were kind-hearted, but they were turned down early in the morning. Even good-tempered people would not feel pleased after a while.
Ms. Niu came to the door directly, when she became frustrated.
Now she got even more furious, when she was countered by Ms. Fang.
She became anxious and panicked.
Actually, she was upset about having to do everything alone. She had been waiting for the first section of the family to help as always done in the past.
She could not stand losing the easy help, which used to be available to her every time in the past.
She was a greedy person and felt that she had been put into a disadvantageous situation.
Ms. Fang was so disgusting, she thought.
Ms. Niu glared at Qiao Xuan. She felt that it was all Qiao Xuan's fault.
