Chapter 852: Chapter 855 A Mad Dog

After lunch, Qiao Duo’er wanted to walk around some more, but since she had the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon, she could only abandon the idea.

Almond accompanied Duo’er back, feeling genuinely happy that the Tan Family was doing better and better.

"Madam, our Embroidery Room has moved to a new place, and we’re even opening branches and starting a school. If anyone talks nonsense now, they must be deaf and blind!"

Being able to accomplish all these tasks in a short time was enough to prove that the Tan Family wasn’t lacking in silver.

Before she finished speaking, the murmuring of some women reached Almond’s ears.

"Did you see the inventory the Tan Family shipped?"

"I saw it. They started moving it yesterday and it still isn’t finished today. I think the Tan Family is truly done for!"

"Qiao Duo’er just has a bad brain, there’s so much inventory piled up, and she still dares to hire more people. She must be tired of living!"

"Next time, I need to talk to my niece and tell her not to go to the Embroidery Room anymore!"

"If you have relatives in the Embroidery Room, you better advise them quickly. They all have great skills, why can’t they just do something else to earn money?"

Almond retorted unhappily, "You’re just sour because you can’t eat the grapes. If the Embroidery Room would hire you, you’d have scurried over there already!"

The crux of it was that these women, who only knew how to gossip, were subpar in needlework, and some had failed the interviews several times.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t pick on the Tan Family on a good day with baseless claims.

The Yan Clan woman snorted, "Oh, isn’t this a dog raised by the Tan Family?"

"Exactly, it’s barking at us now!" another woman echoed.

After saying that, the two of them laughed out loud, proud of their own words.

To them, a maid was no different from a watchdog.

Both were subservient, neither had freedom, pitiful and sorrowful!

Almond’s face turned red with anger, but she didn’t know how to retort, for her status as a maid was indeed not as high as that of these women.

"You still not convinced? Look at your cheap demeanor, any different from a dog that just wags its tail?" Yan Clan woman said, chuckling.

She and Zheng Shi had grown up together and later became in-laws through their children.

Now that the Xiao Family had fallen to such a state, it was clear that it affected the lives of Xiao Lingshan and her daughter.

Therefore, she naturally had nothing good to say about the Tan Family members.

But she didn’t dare to offend the actual owner, so she could only vent her anger on the family’s maids.

No sooner had the Yan Clan woman finished speaking than she was slapped twice.

Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation on her cheeks and saw stars flashing before her eyes.

Qiao Duo said coldly, "What are you? What gives you the right to insult my people?"

She had always treated Almond as a sister rather than a maid!

Moreover, a maid was a person too and deserved respect.

It took a while for the Yan Clan woman to recover her senses, Qiao Duo had actually slapped her in front of so many people, completely humiliating her!

She said through gritted teeth, "You... what gives you the right to hit me!"

"Your parents died early, not having enough time to teach you how to behave. I can only begrudgingly take on the job," Qiao Duo said with a slight upturn on the corner of her mouth, full of sarcasm.

The Yan Clan woman felt somewhat intimidated by the gaze but still brazenly said, "You’re the one without manners!"

Could a well-mannered person hit someone just like that?

And hitting someone’s face at that, didn’t she know the saying that you don’t hit the face? What right did she have to teach others a lesson?

Qiao Duo replied indifferently, "I didn’t say you lacked manners. Why are you trying to force the cap onto your head? Are you admitting guilt without being coerced? Almond, don’t stoop to arguing with a mad dog, lest you degrade yourself!"

"Madam, I understand," Almond nodded in agreement.
