The person who was the most confused and helpless was Liu Jiaying. Earlier, Doctor Zhang told her that there were a few men staying there.
However, when the burly men with bare chests and a towel around their necks came in with hoes and shovels, she was shocked.
There were two reasons for her shock. One was that they looked fierce and scary, and Liu Jiaying was a well-protected child. She was ignorant of the world and could not adapt to the sudden appearance of outsiders.
Secondly, a man and a woman would sit at different tables after they were seven years old. Many young ladies of large families did not even step out of their doors after seven. They even had to avoid meeting men in their own families as much as possible.
Although Liu Jiaying didn't coop herself up at home, she would be accompanied by her brother or servants whenever she went out. Therefore, she rarely came into contact with other men.
