Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively shifted their gaze.
Then I saw Song Yanzhi.
Actually, Song Yanzhi's outfit today is normal; everyone dresses like that normally.
She is slender, and the simple long-sleeved shirt and trousers she wears actually make her look quite good.
Normally, no one would think there's anything wrong with this.
But compared to Zhou Qiao's exquisite and fashionable attire, it felt like the difference between a grand feast and a simple meal.
However, they were not much different from Song Yanzhi. Although they thought they should dress more presentably for the parent-teacher meeting today, they still dressed more appropriately.
But it's still very difficult to actually dress like Zhou Qiao, with bold clothes, heavy makeup, and a fashionable hairstyle.
This made a group of mothers envious.
After all, no woman doesn't love beauty. If they dressed like that, the news would probably spread like wildfire throughout the residential compound the next day, with everyone saying they were dressed in a flamboyant manner.
But Zhou Qiao didn't care; people who have seen the world are different.
Zhou Qiao was also good at flattering people. Seeing that everyone was interested, she took the initiative to encourage them, saying that even if they got married, they should be brave enough to be themselves, dare to dress up, and dare to make themselves look good.
Don't care about what others think.
They also said that people live their whole lives for themselves, so why be bound by rules and regulations?
These words were like a wake-up call for a group of military wives who had been suppressing their emotions for a long time, and they were filled with enthusiasm.
I feel like I've finally figured it out.
I instantly had a good impression of her.
Seeing a group of people surrounding her and asking how she could be so beautiful, Zhou Qiao unconsciously raised her chin.
When he looked at Song Yanzhi, a sense of superiority arose within him.
Although Song Yanzhi is good-looking, she doesn't know how to dress up.
Like most married women of this era, she is reluctant to spend money and unwilling to invest in herself.
He finally saved up some money, but died young due to poor health.
She didn't feel sorry for such people.
Seeing her dressed so plainly, and thinking about how Pei Yuchen, with his top-notch figure and looks, was paired with such an ordinary woman, she felt a sense of imbalance.
Why are the girlfriends of handsome guys always so ordinary-looking?
Beautiful women are always the ones who get hurt by ugly men.
The way she said it made it sound like Song Yanzhi was too ugly and not good enough for Pei Yuchen.
Indeed, compared to Pei Yuchen's qualifications, Song Yanzhi's were quite ordinary.
Many people were envious that she was able to marry into the family.
Before, everyone in the family compound dressed the same way, so no one thought there was anything wrong with it.
When Zhou Qiao said that, everyone immediately realized that it made sense.
After listening, Song Yanzhi smiled and then asked, "What do I mean by 'dressing up'?"
"Of course, wear a skirt, high heels, and put on makeup. Do you need to teach me something so simple? Sister-in-law, you're still young. If you don't dress up now, you won't have the chance later."
Song Yanzhi looked at Zhou Qiao, whose tone carried a hint of instruction, and said, "What you said makes sense."
"What's wrong with me not caring about my appearance? I'm not here for a blind date."
Zhou Qiao said speechlessly, "Why won't you listen to advice? People don't only need to dress up for special occasions. Can't we dress up in everyday life? If you ask me, wear whatever you want and dress however you want. I don't care what others say."
She sighed and said helplessly, "But I understand. You're used to living in these places, so you must be embarrassed to wear those sundresses. We're free to dress as we please when we're out in the world. You care too much about what others think, and you spend your whole lives having to be mindful of what others think. It's pathetic."
Her tone suggested she genuinely regretted their plight.
It was as if these people were living a life that was not fit for human beings.
Song Yanzhi said calmly, "You yourself said that you have the freedom to dress as you please."
"It's your business if you dress up nicely, and it's my business if I dress simply and comfortably. Why are you meddling in my affairs?"
"I was doing this for your own good. Never mind, you won't listen anyway, so just pretend I didn't say anything."
Aunt Li, who was standing nearby, rolled her eyes: "Dressed up like a peacock, if people knew you were here for a parent-teacher meeting, they would think you were here to perform in a play."
While her peers thought it was fashionable and beautiful, Aunt Li, from the older generation, thought Zhou Qiao's outfit was too exaggerated.
But she wasn't one to meddle in other people's business; what did it matter to her how others dressed?
But this week, Qiao acted as if she was all that, having seen the world.
They kept saying things like, "They don't know how to dress up, and they're good at reading people's expressions."
They make it sound like they're living a miserable life.
It's really uncomfortable.
Do they not know whether they are doing well or not? Do they need her to say it?
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiao's face turned green. "This is normal attire. Everyone outside dresses like this. There are even bikinis outside. If you have to say this, you must be from the Qing Dynasty."
“Normal dressing? Look around here, who else dresses like that? So you're the only one who's normal, and all the rest of us are abnormal?” Aunt Li rolled her eyes.
Song Yanzhi wanted to laugh when she heard this: "According to Comrade Zhou, I will have to put on makeup, buy a dress, and wear high heels when I attend parent-teacher meetings in the future, otherwise I will be considered as not knowing how to dress up."
"We were outdated and lowered your standards. We'll learn from you next time."
Those around him touched their noses after hearing this.
They had just been looking at Zhou Qiao with envy.
But now that you mention it, it dawns on me that what's the difference between what they're wearing and what Song Yanzhi is wearing?
She's not even dressed as well as Song Yanzhi.
If Song Yanzhi is all from the countryside, then what are they like?
