After their initial amazement, the way everyone looked at Wu Cuizhi changed.
Before, they had been envious that Wu Cuizhi was about to get an easy dollar. Now, they only looked at her with pity.
Wu Cuizhi's face turned pale with anger. She couldn't hold back her fury. "Gu Zhiqing, are you doing this on purpose?"
Hearing this, Gu Jiaojiao just smiled and said, "I am!"
"After all, young ladies from the city like me are useless for anything but reading books. I just wanted to show you, Auntie, that this thing... it was made by someone who reads books."
Having said her piece and leaving Wu Cuizhi practically fuming, she leisurely began to shell the corn.
On her way back yesterday, she had been mocked by quite a few people. She had very clearly heard what Wu Cuizhi said back then.
"That young lady from the city doesn't know how to do any real work. All she can do is read a few books. But what's the use of reading? She still has to work the fields in the end!"
