Ji Qingping didn't expect that the usually silent, inferior and shy girl would become so dazzling tonight, so graceful and popular with everyone.

He was silent and nodded as a sign of acquiescence.

Lin Xuanxuan's eyes were filled with sadness when she saw this scene.

He also thinks that marrying me... is like marrying a treasure?

She had been suppressed, belittled, and looked down upon for so many years, but at this moment, Ji Qingping finally affirmed her. She felt mixed emotions, tears welled up in her eyes, and she wanted to cry.

Li Xiumei didn't expect that Lin Xuanxuan, who was usually useless, would be so popular today. Especially when Lin Xuanxuan bought mooncakes, she was given one. She tasted it and it was really delicious!

Seeing that everyone was praising Lin Xuanxuan, and Lin Xuanxuan was her daughter-in-law, Li Xiumei finally felt happy for a while, and she looked at Lin Xuanxuan with a more pleasing look.

"My daughter-in-law is the most filial to me. She does housework most diligently and keeps the house in tidy order. She cooks, washes pots and dishes, massages my legs, shoulders and waist, washes my feet and emptys the night pot. She can do everything and gives me all the money she earns every month. Of course, my son is more sensible and well-behaved. He never makes me angry and also hands over his salary every month." Li Xiumei said proudly, showing her sense of superiority.

She wants to show off that she is well-fed and well-off.

The other military wives felt a little sympathetic towards Lin Xuanxuan after hearing these words.

"What is this worth bragging about?"

"That's right, being her daughter-in-law must be exhausting!"

"Fortunately I don't have such a mother-in-law, otherwise I would be tortured to death."

"Doing so much work, it's busier and more tiring than the donkeys in the production team! And in the end, you still have to hand in wages? Xuanxuan is marrying into their family, not selling herself to them! Those who know think Xuanxuan is their daughter-in-law, and those who don't think she is a slave!"

"What kind of life has Xuanxuan been living these years! It's so pitiful!"

"Yeah, that's fine. I often hear her mother-in-law beating and scolding her at home. This is already abuse. It's too pitiful..."

Li Xiumei originally thought that after she said this, she would hear voices of envy towards her, and that everyone would ask her how she disciplined her daughter-in-law to be so obedient. However, she did not expect that everyone looked at her in a strange way, and the words they said became more and more unpleasant, and some even sympathized with Lin Xuanxuan?

After hearing this, Ji Qingping frowned coldly.

He works outside, and this is how Xuanxuan lives at home?

He knew before that his mother disliked Xuanxuan, often scolded her and occasionally beat her. After getting married, he also told his mother that Xuanxuan was his daughter-in-law and asked her to be nicer to her.

He usually worked in the team and had no idea about the situation at home. Every time he came home from work, everything was peaceful.

He didn't know that Xuanxuan had to do so much work at home, and he didn't know that Lin Xuanxuan had to hand over all her income, resulting in her having no money at all...

Hearing those words from people around him, Ji Qingping realized that if Lin Xuanxuan married into their family, it would really be like being a slave and being treated like a cow or a horse.

"Mom, do you always treat Xuanxuan like this at home?" Ji Qingping frowned, his face darkening.

"I...what's wrong with me doing this? Isn't it natural for a daughter-in-law to be filial to her mother-in-law?" Li Xiumei retorted.

"Are you sure this is filial piety and not slavery?" Shen Li couldn't help but said, "Don't you think your treatment of your daughter-in-law is oppression and exploitation? How are your actions different from those of the feudal landlord class?"

"I..." Li Xiumei was so terrified that she was speechless.

"Mom, Xuanxuan is my wife after all. Even for my sake, you shouldn't treat her like that." For the first time, Ji Qingping's face darkened towards Li Xiumei.

"Okay, you all gang up on me!" Li Xiumei was used to being flattered, so she couldn't stand this. Even her most filial son was now cold to her. She was very sad. "I've seen it, you all despise me, so I'm leaving now and won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, Li Xiumei ran away wiping her tears with red eyes.

Ji Qingping did not chase after him. He looked at Xuanxuan not far away, sighed, and waved to her, "Xuanxuan, come here."

His voice was no longer as cold and distant as before, this time it had a little more warmth.

Everyone around was watching. Lin Xuanxuan walked towards him and sat opposite Ji Qingping.

"Xuanxuan, does your face still hurt?" Ji Qingping raised his hand to touch Lin Xuanxuan's face.

Lin Xuanxuan thought about the grievance of being splashed with hot water, and Ji Qingping's previous cold and cold-blooded treatment of her. Her nose felt sore and she almost cried. She dodged, not letting Ji Qingping touch her face, and shook her head.

Perhaps because Lin Xuanxuan was dressed up exquisitely tonight, her eyes were full of tears, and her childish and gentle face looked pitiful, which made people feel very pitiful.

"I really don't know what your situation is like at home," Ji Qingping said. "I've been working these years, and sometimes I'm away on missions for two months at a time. Thank you for taking care of mom and this family at home."

Lin Xuanxuan was stunned.

This was the first time he said thank you to me.

"From now on, you should keep all the money you earn for yourself and don't have to give it to mom." Ji Qingping said, "As for the money I earn, I will also give it to you and you can manage it."

All the money he earned over the years was handed over to his mother. His mother still had the family's savings and deposits over the years, so she was not short of money. On the contrary, his wife Xuanxuan - after all these years, she only had this one set of clothes to wear.

This dress is probably also worn by Shen Li.

As they were both wives, he didn’t want to mistreat his woman.

Although being with Xuanxuan before was indeed an accident, they were already married, and he should give Xuanxuan the proper respect.

Lin Xuanxuan looked at him in surprise.

Every time in front of me and his biological mother, he always takes his biological mother's side.

녦This time, he actually defended himself...

"In the past, I neglected a lot, including your feelings." Ji Qingping paused, and stretched out his big hand to hold Xuanxuan's cool little hand. "I won't do that again in the future."

Lin Xuanxuan looked at him in confusion.

Could she believe him?

Did he really change his mind and want to be nice to her?

…

Not far away, Shen Li looked at this scene and smiled with relief.

The two of them looked like they were going to get along.

But there is always a hidden danger in the relationship between these two people——Su Xuezhi.

However, Su Xuezhi is already married. I hope she will behave herself and not do things like cheating on her husband and wife, which will affect their relationship.

Shen Li sat with the family, chatting and laughing. At this moment, Zhang Yuanyuan, who had changed into a bright red dress, came over to Lu Jingchuan with a glass of wine in her hand and said, "Brother Lu, can I invite you to have a drink?"
