Chapter 18 (2/2)

Lydia muttered, “There’s no difference in the first place.”

Steven looked at her confident manner and laughed in anger. “I say, do you not even know what a crop is and what grass is?”

These words immediately provoked Lydia. She stomped her feet and said, “So what if I do? So what if I don’t? You were the one who asked me to pull the grass. What does it have to do with me if something happens?”

Steven had originally thought that this young lady was tough to deal with. However, he did not expect her to be so difficult to please.

It seemed that he did not know the seriousness of the matter until he showed her a little bit of authority!

He strode in front of Lydia and looked down at her from above.

Lydia was not very tall. She was about 1.65 meters.

In front of him, she appeared very short and weak.

Lydia saw his stern face and felt a wave of pressure.

She took two steps back in fear and said in a trembling voice, “You… what do you want to do?”

“I’ll give you an hour. After that, if you don’t know what grass and crops are, I’ll throw you off the cliff!” Steven said coldly.

“You… you…” Lydia looked at him in surprise, her eyes full of fear.

Steven looked at Alice. “Teach her! If she can’t learn it… throw her down!”

Bella flapped her wings. “I’ll throw her down later!”

Lydia was so scared that she sat on the ground. After that, she had no other thoughts.

Alice came to her and asked gently, “Are you okay?”

Lydia looked at them in fear.

“Don’t be afraid. Master is excellent. As long as you do as he says, nothing will happen.” Alice comforted.

Lydia did not dare to have any other thoughts at the moment. So she could only nod obediently.

Ever since she was young, no one had ever threatened her.

She did not expect to come to this strange place, not only to work but also to be threatened.

This hateful man was obviously not a good person!

She gritted her teeth. Now that she was living under someone else’s roof, she had no other choice!

She stood up from the ground, feeling wronged. She found Alice and Bella staring at her with their heads tilted, not wanting to see them.

Alice smiled and said, “Actually, weeds are very easy to recognize. You will know them very soon. Let’s go.”

Lydia took a deep breath and nodded gently at Alice.

Then, she began to learn which were plants and which were weeds.

An hour passed, and Steven came in front of Lydia and the others.

Alice said first, “Master, she’s brilliant. She learned it in one go.”

Steven chuckled, “If she can’t learn such a simple thing, then there’s something wrong with her brain.”

Lydia could not help but retort, “There’s nothing wrong with my brain!”

Steven looked at the area she was in charge of. “It seems that you have a talent for farming.”

Lydia raised her head and glared at him fiercely.

“Hehe, don’t look at me like that. I took you in and even gave you a job. You should be thanking me.”

Lydia was outraged. “What about the food you said you would give me? Can you give it to me now?”

Steven obviously would not starve her to death. “Follow me.”

Lydia followed him to the residence, and he entered the tent.

He took out a compressed biscuit and a glass of water and handed it to her. “Work hard in the future. I have something better for you.”

Lydia did not believe that she would be so kind as to take the food when she saw it.

She did not care whether the ground was dirty or not. Instead, she went to the foot of the tree and sat down, eating slowly.

The day passed quickly and Lydia was so tired that her entire body was limp.

When she could rest, she saw the cushion outside the tent appear again.

Without thinking, she laid down comfortably on it.

When she was about to fall asleep, the strange cry came from not far away again.

She shivered and sat up abruptly.
