Chapter 171 Frog in the Well
Shen Yueyao was still sitting there lazily while she spoke.
At this moment, all her aura was released, carrying with it an extremely strong oppressive force.
Mrs. Xu had been looking down on the Shen family, but when she heard these words and felt the different aura, she suddenly turned around and looked at the girl who spoke.
Before, the girl didn't speak and sat there quietly, making people almost ignore her existence.
But at this moment, her aura made people dare not underestimate her.
Madam Xu's expression changed, and she had some vague guesses in her mind. She asked, "Who is this?"
Cui said, "This is my daughter."
Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that it was this person who invented lipstick.
A few days ago, her sister-in-law came over and brought a lipstick, which she looked at curiously.
She was a businesswoman and could see the business opportunity of this lipstick, so she asked someone to inquire about it.
Just then, a matchmaker came to propose marriage to her daughter. She mentioned the Shen family and some business they did. When she heard the word lipstick, Mrs. Xu naturally took notice.
Only then did he use this as an excuse to agree to let them come.
After she knew they were coming, she deliberately ignored them to let them know that this was the Xu family and she was Mrs. Xu.
It's not easy for them to see her with their identities.
All just to get the lipstick secret recipe.
But Mrs. Xu could not have imagined that a country girl could be so beautiful and have such a noble temperament.
She doesn't look like a girl from the countryside at all.
Mrs. Xu was indignant that there were such good-looking people among the country people.
The skin was so white that it didn't look like it had been exposed to wind or sun.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen looked weathered by the wind and sun.
Madam Xu continued to disdainfully say, "This guy, it's better not to brag. He has no power or influence, and I don't know where he gets the nerve to speak like that."
"People should know their own limitations and not overestimate their abilities."
Madam Xu was a little indignant because she was confronted by Shen Yueyao, and she spoke even more rudely.
Anyway, she didn't take the country folk from the Shen family seriously.
He is so ignorant that he dares to covet the girl from the Xu family.
Shen Yueyao sneered and said, “If this is the case, it should be given to Madam Xu.”
"You should know that there are always people better than you. Don't be like a frog in a well and think you are so great."
Originally, Shen Yueyao had never thought about doing business related to cloth.
But Shen Yueyao was very unhappy that Madam Xu humiliated her in such a way.
Especially since my parents and fourth brother are here.
She doesn't care what others say, but Shen Yueyao is very protective of her and she won't allow others to bully her parents and brother.
So Shen Yueyao had already started thinking about how to do the cloth business.
She could buy land to grow cotton, and improve the spinning shuttle and loom, greatly improving efficiency.
She can also design better-looking clothes, make finished clothes and sell them, and create an ancient clothing brand.
We can also make four-piece sets and accept various customized orders.
As long as she is given time, Shen Yueyao is confident that she can make the cloth shop business bigger and stronger and surpass the Xu family.
At that time, the Xu family was probably not worth mentioning.
No one had ever spoken to Madam Xu like this before. Madam Xu stood up angrily and said, "If you didn't have the secret lipstick recipe, do you think you are qualified to enter the Xu family?"
"Don't you even look at yourself? How dare you covet my daughter from the Xu family?"
"I guess you've never seen a house like this before. I guess you've never tasted the snacks on the table. No, maybe you've never even seen it."
"Let me tell you, there are many people who have proposed marriage to my daughter. They are all noble and powerful. You, a peasant, can't compare to them."
"You really think you're great just because you have a little business. Your business is just a small one, not worth mentioning at all."
“Every family’s wealth is accumulated over many generations.”
"You really don't know your place. You're a toad dreaming of eating swan flesh."
Mrs. Xu didn't give the Shen family any face this time.
Cui stood up, her face turned pale with anger, her lips trembling, she wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word.
Shen Chengzhou's expression was cold, his body was stiff, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was suppressing some anger.
Shen Shaojing’s eyes widened and his face turned pale.
Shen Yueyao stood up and said, "Madam Xu, your family was also from the countryside a few generations ago. Since you look down on country people so much, then why don't you eat the food they grow and stop using their cotton to make cloth?"
"You are so brave, why don't you eat or drink?"
"Who else should I blame for being ignorant? Your snacks are just the low-quality snacks from West Street. I just heard that your Xu family's snacks are the best. So, the Xu family is nothing special."
"It's just a superficial effort, but the inside is already rotten."
If Madam Xu hadn't gone too far, Shen Yueyao wouldn't have argued with her.
Besides, if Mrs. Xu disagrees, she can just refuse directly. It is too much to humiliate her like this.
The maids and servants beside her looked at the girl in shock.
So tough!
They had never seen anyone speak to the lady like that.
But they couldn't help but want to listen to it, which was quite refreshing.
Because Mrs. Xu's words are usually harsh.
It's time someone gave Madam Xu a good lesson.
Madam Xu was shaking with anger, pointing her finger at Shen Yueyao and the others and saying, "What are you still standing there for? Kick them out, kick them out of our Xu Mansion."
The maids and old women finally came to their senses and were hesitating to move.
Shen Shaojing's face turned pale, and when he came to his senses, he said coldly: "Dad, Mom, sister, let's go."
"From now on, I will never set foot in the Xu family's gate again."
If he had known this situation earlier, Shen Shaojing would never have come.
Let his parents and sister suffer humiliation for him.
Shen Shaojing felt angry and blamed himself.
His eyes were scarlet.
So this is what it feels like to be looked down upon.
It turns out that in the eyes of others, he is so overestimating his own abilities.
Shen Shaojing laughed at himself a little, but at the same time he understood more and more that he must stand out and make a name for himself.
Shen Shaojing's eyes were bloodshot at first, but then became firm.
Mrs. Xu even mocked him.
After Shen Yueyao, Shen Shaojing, their parents and they came out of Xu's house, they got on the ox cart and went home without looking back.
Sitting on the ox cart, no one spoke at first.
Later, Cui's eyes were red and she choked up as she said, "If it weren't for us, Jing'er wouldn't have to suffer humiliation at all."
Their children should have lived a life of luxury and been respected by everyone.
Who is the Xu family? How dare they humiliate her son like this?
When Shen Chengzhou thought about the past, he also felt heavy in his heart.
Cui looked at Shen Shaojing who was silent and said, "Jing'er, your parents are sorry for you."
As a mother, she always wants to give her children the best of everything. Seeing Shen Shaojing like this, how could Cui not blame herself.
Shen Shaojing shook his head and said, "Mom, don't say that. You have done a lot for me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be insulted like this."
He felt very uncomfortable.
He wanted his parents to be respected because of him and wanted them to be proud of him, but he had done nothing at the moment.
