Chapter 145 Not the target, but the husband
The next day, Xia Qingxi came home from work and found that Yao Hongmei had been beaten. In such hot weather, she wore long sleeves and long pants, covering herself up tightly. Some purple marks could be seen on the skin on her hands that were accidentally exposed.
It is estimated that Yao Hongmei felt guilty for not standing up and clarifying herself at the beginning, so she was embarrassed to tell herself.
Since she did not take the initiative to tell herself, Xia Qingxi did not ask her anything.
In Xia Qingxi's view, most of the reasons for Yao Hongmei's experience today were caused by herself.
If she had chosen to break up with Lu Lidong when she knew that he had a fiancée, or had stood up to stop them when they were plotting against her, or if she had not backed down when she was given the opportunity to tell Lu Jingchen the truth, she would not have stood idly by like she is now.
Yao Hongmei is such a selfish person, she was unwilling to stand up before, how could she ask others to sympathize with her and help her now?
Xia Qingli thought helplessly, hoping that after this lesson, she would change.
However, from the incident of Yao Hongmei being beaten, Xia Qingli also deeply realized how lucky she was to have Lu Jingchen by her side.
Lu Lidong is a typical bully who
only cares about the weak and fears the strong. When Lu Jingchen hit him yesterday, he didn't even dare to fight back, and turned around to hit Yao Hongmei. The reason why he dared to be so reckless was because Yao Hongmei was a woman and had no power to fight back, and no one would stand up for her. He knew that he would not pay any price if he hit her, so he dared to hit her so recklessly.
Xia Qingling knew that he wanted to hit her yesterday, probably because he thought that she was a woman and he could easily beat her, but Wang Mingfang quickly came out to stop him. Wang Mingfang was much smarter than Lu Lidong. She knew that Xia Qingling had Lu Jingchen to support her, so she couldn't just hit him casually.
Wang Mingfang may not have known about Lu Lidong beating Yao Hongmei yesterday, but she acquiesced to it. Didn't she think that Yao Hongmei had no one to rely on, so she could beat and scold her at will?
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a bad trait that is difficult to control in human nature!
Xia Qingxi is now very lucky that Lu Jingchen is by her side, and she also agrees that she made the decision to cling to Lu Jingchen.
If it weren't for him, even if this body had a new core, even if she had all the memories of this life, she might not be able to fight against the cruel and cunning Wang Mingfang and her son.

On Tuesday afternoon after work, when Lu Jingchen came to pick up Xia Qingxi, he also brought the camera.
Xia Qingliu was very confused and asked him why he suddenly brought a camera. Lu Jingluo said that he was going to a department store to buy film. The last time he bought a camera, the salesperson said that the film was temporarily out of stock and would have to wait until the next day to be delivered. But he had been busy and didn't go, so he just happened to buy it today.
What he didn't say was that he could go to the river to take pictures after buying it.
He was leaving soon, because he hadn't reported to the army yet, and Xia Qingliu didn't have a letter of introduction, so she couldn't go with him for the time being. Now that he took the photos, he couldn't take her away, but he could take her photos with him.
Well, when he misses her, he can look at it.
Soon the two of them arrived at the department store. The salesman who was selling cameras recommended three kinds of film rolls, which could take 18, 24, and 36 photos at a time.
Lu Jing thought about it and chose two rolls for taking 36 photos and one roll for taking 18 photos.
Film rolls were not cheap in this era. Seeing that he bought too much at one time, Xia Qingxi could not help but remind him:
"Buy one roll, you can buy more after you finish taking photos."
"Big sister, with a camera, film rolls are consumables, and you can use them even if you buy more." The salesman said with a smile.
It can be seen that this uncle has some sales eloquence.
"Yeah." Lu Jingchen agreed, and then handed the camera to the salesman:
"Load the roll with 18 photos first." After saying that, he turned to look at Xia Qingying:
"This roll has fewer photos, you can practice first, it doesn't matter if you overexpose."
The salesman took the camera and couldn't help but compliment Xia Qingying:
"Sister, your partner is so considerate and attentive." After saying that, he smiled and said with emotion:
"I hope my daughter can find someone who treats her so well in the future."
Facing such an "envious" uncle, Xia Qingying didn't know how to answer for a moment, she just smiled politely. At this time, Lu Jingchen beside her suddenly said:
"It's not a partner, it's a husband."
"Oh, you're married now. You must be newlywed, right? Congratulations."
The salesman was very confident in his ability to judge people. He could tell at first glance that the two didn't look very "familiar" and guessed that they were newly married.
Lu Jingzhen did not explain. At this time, the uncle demonstrated to the two how to load the camera with film. After Lu Jingzhen and Xia Qingling had learned it, he was about to hand the camera to them when Lu Jingzhen suddenly said,
"Please take a picture for us."
The boss agreed very readily, looked at the complicated environment, pointed to the promotional wall next to him and said,
"The background here is not very good, let's take pictures there."
Xia Qingling did not expect Lu Jingzhen to suddenly take pictures. Looking at her work clothes that were not suitable for taking pictures, she hurriedly said,
"Let's take pictures next time. I haven't changed my clothes today."
"No problem." Lu Jingzhen looked calm, as if he didn't mind at all. I don't know if he was comforting Xia Qingling. Then he said,
"This is also very beautiful."
"Yes, sister, you are so pretty, you look good in any photo." The uncle beside him also said with a smile.
Xia Qingying thought about it. Anyway, the current photos are all black and white, so no matter how brightly she wears, it won't be seen. So without hesitation, she followed Lu Jingchen to the propaganda wall.
Under the red five-pointed star, the two stood shoulder to shoulder, with a distance in between, looking very obedient.
"Lesbian, come closer, gay, come closer too." The uncle held the camera and guided the two:
"Lesbian, head to the side of the gay's shoulder, smile, yes, yes, good..."
Under the camera, the woman was smiling, and the man was handsome. With a "click", the beautiful moment was frozen.
After buying the roll of film, the two of them left the department store, and Lu Jingchen rode to the riverside as planned.
The sun was setting, the reeds were swaying, the evening breeze was teasing the leaves and grass, the fragrance of flowers was coming, everything was so quiet and so beautiful.
There is no industrial pollution, the sky is blue, the clouds are white, the trees are green, the water is clear... Xia Qingxing couldn't help but hold up the camera, adjust the parameters, and take pictures.
Lu Jingchen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xia Qingxing to be so good at using the camera. In the four years since he was away, not only her appearance has changed, her temperament has changed, she has also learned to paint and make clothes, and now she can even use a camera. He is really impressed.
At this time, it is indeed too luxurious to use film to take pictures of the scenery. After taking a few pictures, Xia Qingxing put down the camera and went to pick flowers.
When she was picking flowers, she didn't notice that Lu Jingchen had already picked up the camera.
