Wen Nianyou said fiercely, "Who knows if you're just pretending? Give me your phone to check!"
Trembling, Tian Qiugui pulled out her phone from her pocket and handed it over with both hands.
Wen Nianyou, deeming her dirty, motioned for Lin Yueqin to take it.
Lin Yueqin took her basic phone, flipped through it, and found nothing—not even a person who had called or texted her.
Only then did Lin Yueqin remember that although Tian Qiugui had been married when she was young, her husband had died, and she ended up working as a maid for others. She had no children and hardly any relatives.
She desperately needed a job to support herself and a place to stay, and Lady Wen, kind-hearted, had taken her in, paying her a salary of fifteen thousand a month, covering her food and lodging, even providing her with clothes and shoes for all seasons.
Therefore, even with the amount of bullying and scolding she endured, Tian Qiugui put up with it all—she had nowhere else to go if she left here.
