The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

After preparing to learn embroidery, Shen Xuening had already gained a comprehensive understanding of the history of embroidery and the basic embroidery stitches. It could be said that she was now very knowledgeable in theory, but lacked practical experience.

While preparing the items, Zhang Shufen introduced embroidery to Shen Xuening and told her about how her master taught her when she first started learning the craft.

Listening to her say these things, you can feel the strong atmosphere of apprenticeship.

Zhang Shufen prepared for herself and for Shen Xuening. After preparing, she pulled Shen Xuening to sit on a stool and began to talk about the most basic thing: the number of strands of silk thread.

"This silk thread is made up of many strands. Different threads require different thicknesses, so it's necessary to separate the strands..."

"Dividing shares this way would be simpler, like I did..."

"Isn't it simple?"

Zhang Shufen explained and demonstrated in great detail and with great patience; she is a very good teacher.

Shen Xuening understood after hearing it once: "Grandma, I understand."

Zhang Shufen nodded: "This is relatively simple. Next, we'll learn about embroidery needles..."

Shen Baohong, who was filming from the side, couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. There were so many things to learn; it wouldn't be easy. Those women who were skilled at embroidery in the past were truly amazing!

Zhang Shufen did almost nothing else all morning but impart basic knowledge to Shen Xuening.

In the afternoon, Shen Xuening began to try it.

Embroider a leaf first.

Zhang Shufen taught Shen Xuening stitch by stitch, because different things require different stitches, such as straight stitch, curved stitch, and even stitch. You can only understand these after you have embroidered them yourself.

Shen Xuening embroidered slowly, stitch by stitch. Usually, after three or four stitches, her technique would speed up, and that would be considered mastery.

Once she finished embroidering a single leaf, Shen Xuening had almost mastered the needlework technique.

Zhang Shufen exclaimed in amazement, "You don't seem like a beginner at all. You have such a high level of comprehension. It's like you can learn something in no time. Ningning, you are so smart."

Shen Xuening smiled modestly: "Mother-in-law, you flatter me. I'm just being a bit serious."

Zhang Shufen sighed, "If everyone could learn things as quickly as you, it seems like nothing would be difficult."

Shen Xuening shook her head: "I'm not good at everything. For example, cooking is always just so-so. You see, I don't cook much."

Zhang Shufen said, "You're amazing."

Shen Xuening was quite satisfied with herself: "Mother-in-law, let's not talk about this anymore. You must be tired after embroidering for so long. Let's go out for dinner together?"

Zhang Shufen nodded with a smile: "Okay."

……

When Shen Xuening returned home in the evening, her grandmother asked with concern, "Ningning, how was your schoolwork today?"

Shen Xuening truthfully replied, "I have learned the basics. This afternoon I embroidered a leaf, but it wasn't very delicate and was somewhat unsatisfactory."

Grandma Shen exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't you just start learning today? You already know how to embroider leaves?"

Shen Xuening thought embroidery wasn't too difficult, and said in a very ordinary tone, "Yes, Grandma Zhang taught me well, and I learned quickly. I embroidered a leaf this afternoon."

Grandma Shen couldn't help but admire: "When I was learning it before, I couldn't learn it no matter what I tried, so I put it aside."

Shen Xuening was surprised: "Grandma has learned embroidery?"

Grandma Shen said helplessly, "Yes, when I was a child, my family was well-off, so my mother wanted us to learn a trade. At that time, learning needlework was the best option, but I just couldn't learn it, so I had to give up."

Shen Xuening comforted her, "Grandma, no, your granddaughter will help you learn, it's the same."

Grandma Shen smiled broadly, "Yes, our Ningning is smart, she'll definitely be able to learn it."

Shen Xuening smiled and said, "I promise I'll learn it and make my grandma proud."

Grandma Shen also encouraged her, saying, "Okay."

……

Shen Baohong uploaded a video of Shen Xuening learning embroidery to the internet, which quickly went viral and sparked heated discussions.

“Our blogger has started a new venture, embroidery! The future looks very promising.”

"How come the blogger is so talented? I wish I had even a tenth of the blogger's talent."

"I'm in awe! It looks so easy for the blogger to learn, but why can't I? I'm not even very good at needlework. Why don't I have those skillful hands?"

"On her first day of embroidery, she embroidered a leaf. Is that genius?"

"As expected of the blogger I've followed from the beginning, she hasn't disappointed me at all. I'd like to see when she finishes embroidering the round fan?"

"..."

With over 10 views, the comment section is incredibly lively.

Shen Xuening's fan base has started growing again; she already has over 100 million fans, and it's still increasing...

Shen Baohong selected some comments to read and was very pleased with them—Xue Ning's skill was evident from the first move; she truly deserves to be called a master!

In the evening, Shen Baohong asked Shen Xuening to read the comments. Shen Xuening read them after she got off work. The comments section was generally full of praise rather than criticism. Shen Xuening usually didn't care about the criticism, after all, she felt that she had done her best.

Shen Baohong said, "Those who said bad things have been scolded back by your fans. It's really satisfying to see."

Shen Xuening hesitated for a moment: "I'd like to take a look, but I'd better not. I don't want to ruin my mood."

Shen Baohong didn't want Shen Xuening to see it. Those people had no bottom line and spoke very rudely: "Don't look, what's there to see? Besides, it's already gone."

Shen Xuening thought about it and then gave up the idea: "Okay."

As they spoke, more comments appeared; now that everyone is off work, they have more time to watch videos.

Shen Nana accidentally saw Shen Xuening's video and watched it several times in a row: "She really has a smart brain and a strong learning ability. She seems to learn things very quickly."

She looked at her hands: "Why am I not that smart?"

She sent a WeChat message to Liu Juan that day, but Liu Juan never replied, and hasn't replied since. She knows that she can't come back here.

She felt abandoned, but she still went to find a job because she was running out of money.

Her monthly salary of four thousand was just enough to cover her food, clothing, and shelter, but there was nothing left over, and she lived a very miserable life.

Many times, she would secretly spy on the Shen family's life. This Shen family was Shen Xuening's family, not the Shen family in City A. The Shen family in City A were now just living ordinary lives. They were no longer rich and powerful, and their income consisted only of Shen Junyu and Shen Junqi, so their lives were quite ordinary.

Seeing Shen Xuening learning embroidery now, Shen Nana's heart aches again.

Other people's lives are going uphill, while hers are going downhill; it's impossible to balance them.

Shen Nana stared at the screen, finally sighed helplessly, and let regret fill her heart.

……

Shen Xuening was even busier this week, practically running herself ragged, but her embroidery learning progressed rapidly. She had already learned to embroider simple lotus flowers.

It sounds simple, but it's not. If it were someone else, they might not be able to embroider a lotus flower even after a month.

Look at the lotus flowers she embroidered. Of course, they can't compare to those of the master craftsmen, but they already have a lot of charm. From a distance, they look just like real lotus flowers, and they even glow in the sunlight.

Zhang Shufen examined Shen Xuening's embroidered lotus flower with utter admiration: "Did you study it in private?"

Shen Xuening shook her head: "No, I have to deal with company matters in private, I don't have time to do this."

Zhang Shufen said, "Your talent is too good. With your level, most people wouldn't be able to embroider this in less than a month or two."

Shen Xuening said jokingly, "Grandma, could it really be that I have a special talent?"

Zhang Shufen said, "Haha, is that even a question?"

Shen Xuening joked, "Then I guess it's because I'm exceptionally gifted."

Zhang Shufen had high hopes for Shen Xuening: "If you keep learning, you will definitely become a master in the future."

"Mother-in-law, I'll try my best." Shen Xuening has too many things to do, and embroidery is a time-consuming activity, so it's difficult for her to manage both.

Zhang Shufen admired Shen Xuening's talent: "Anyway, we won't give up if we can avoid it."

Shen Xuening answered seriously, "Okay."

Time flies when you're busy, and before you know it, it's the end of May.

That evening, Shen Xuening received a call from Shen Yingying: "Sister, are you asleep? I'm having trouble sleeping, can you talk to me?"

Shen Xuening said, "Of course, what do you want to say?"

Shen Yingying's tone was more worried: "Sister, there are only ten days left until the college entrance examination. Everyone is so nervous about reviewing. I wasn't nervous at first, but I'm nervous now."

Shen Xuening asked with concern, "Why are you nervous?"

Shen Yingying truthfully replied, "I'm afraid I won't do well on the exam."

Shen Xuening paused for a moment: "Do you remember what I told you?"

Shen Yingying nodded and replied, "Remember, keep a calm mindset and don't overthink. Only by staying calm can you have enough rationality to come up with the right solution."

“Yes.” Shen Xuening said gently, “Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you can get into university or not. I have ways to get you into university. You can go to whichever university you want.”

Hearing Shen Xuening's calm words, Shen Yingying finally calmed down: "Sister, I understand..."

Shen Xuening continued to comfort her: "There's no need to think so much. Trust your sister. As long as you want to go to university, it has nothing to do with the college entrance examination."

Shen Yingying felt a sense of security from having a strong backer: "Sister, I understand."

Shen Xuening said casually, "Go to sleep soon. Just relax and face the college entrance exam. It's just a few practice papers."

Shen Yingying was happy and felt relaxed: "Okay, goodnight, sister."

"Good night," Shen Xuening replied.

The next day, Shen Xuening approached Liu Juan and asked her to prepare a box of yogurt for Shen Yingying and have someone take it to the county town for her to drink, as she was under pressure and yogurt would be best for her.

Liu Juan was also worried about Shen Yingying, so she immediately agreed. Everyone was talking about the college entrance examination, especially when the countdown to the exam was mentioned, and people couldn't help but feel nervous.

When Shen Yingying received the yogurt, her nose tingled with emotion. No matter what, her family was her strongest support, and she didn't need to worry.
