Chapter 227 Why is it different from the rumors?

Actually, Xia Qingxi's guess was not wrong at all. The two women had heard about the "fierce" deeds of Lu Tuanzhang's country wife who climbed into bed. When they heard that Lu Jingxie had returned with a woman, they couldn't help but make an appointment to come over immediately, wanting to see how ugly and rustic this rumored country wife of Lu Tuanzhang was.

But when they approached and saw Xia Qingxi's face clearly, they were suddenly stunned, with doubts in their eyes. Is this really the ugly and rustic country woman that everyone talks about?

How can this face and figure have nothing to do with "ugly" and "rustic"? She looks even more beautiful than those girls in the art troupe.

Especially the woman in green clothes, her surprise was hidden with dissatisfaction and hostility.

Perhaps she felt that she couldn't find anything wrong with her appearance. Looking at Xia Qingling, who was half hidden behind the door, the woman in green suddenly smiled in an ambiguous way:

"Captain Lu's wife, why are you hiding so much? Is there something shameful in the house?"

Xia Qingling's face turned cold. Normally, she had just arrived at the family compound and should have established a good neighborly relationship with everyone, but these two people were obviously not good neighbors. They spoke so rudely and impolitely. If she showed them kindness now, they would only think that she was easy to bully and would make more and more aggressive plots against her in the future. On the

contrary, if she had a tougher attitude, they would know that she was not easy to mess with, and would weigh their words and actions in the future, thinking about what to say and what not to say.

After thinking this through, Xia Qingling looked at the woman in green clothes and said in a gentle but neither humble nor arrogant tone:

"Sister-in-law, you're joking. I'm in my own home. What's there to be ashamed of?" At this point, she suddenly changed the subject:

"I'm not trying to hide anything. I just wanted to close the door and take a rest. I never thought that someone would be so free to come and visit so late."

The two "idle people" changed their expressions after hearing what Xia Qingling said. They never expected that Lu Jingqie's daughter-in-law was so eloquent. Didn't the rumor say that she was tongue-tied and easy to bully, and would cry when something happened?

"Captain Lu's wife, what you said is so inappropriate. Sister-in-law Ding and I just wanted to come over to say hello to your new neighbor, but we didn't expect you to close the door as soon as we saw us."

"Hey, we really have nothing to do, so we ran here to suffer your injustice. Forget it, let's go back." The woman in green clothes pulled the woman in blue clothes and were about to walk out, deliberately provoking her as she walked:

"See, Captain Lu's wife, her standards are really high. Look at her, she looks down on us neighbors and doesn't want to associate with us."

Haha, before even leaving the yard, she began to define herself as someone who has high standards, does not respect others, and is unwilling to associate with others!

"Wait." Xia Qingli suddenly called the two people from behind. When the two turned around, she had a harmless smile on her face and said,

"Two sisters-in-law, it's not that I think I'm noble and don't respect you, but I'm really tired from the training in the field camp these days. I just went to bed, so it's inconvenient to invite you to come in and sit." Having said this, she changed the subject and continued:

"But you have come to visit me, your new neighbor. Of course I will remember this kindness. But I don't know you two yet. How about you tell me your names and where you are from? Tomorrow, Jing Jing and I will definitely bring gifts to visit you."

This was said very politely, but anyone who was not stupid could hear that this was to ask them to introduce themselves. Saying that he wanted to remember this kindness was actually a hint to them that he would remember them. If there were any unfavorable gossips about him in the future, he would know who spread it.

"I'm Yuan Guifen, and my husband is Ding Dazhu, the commander of the second battalion." The woman in blue clothes didn't seem to think much about it, and directly said her name and her husband's position.

It was the turn of the woman in green. She immediately changed her expression, put on a smile, and said,

"No, no, Captain Lu just came back from a mission. He was so tired. You just arrived too and you must be tired from taking the train. There's no need for you to come and visit him."

She was obviously more clever than the woman in blue. She was the one who had been instigating just now, but now that she saw that Xia Qingqing was strong and difficult to handle, and she was afraid of causing trouble for her man, she naturally refused to say who she was from.

"How can that be? Didn't you come to visit me today specially? If I don't reciprocate, those people with ulterior motives will go around saying that I don't know the rules, have high standards, and look down on my neighbors." Xia Qingying smiled and slowly said what she had just summarized.

This "person with ulterior motives" was obviously referring to herself. The woman in green clothes changed color when she heard Xia Qingxi's suggestive words, but she pretended not to understand and did not refute anything. Instead, she thought about running away. She smiled and said,

"Oh, you think too much. Who would say those things? It's getting late. The children at home are waiting for dinner. Let's go, let's go."

Xia Qingxi couldn't understand that the woman in green clothes was the "mastermind" of today's farce. She deliberately instigated the woman in green clothes to come and laugh at her by visiting her new neighbor. What's more hateful is that she wants to ruin her reputation everywhere!

Since she had come to the door, there was no reason not to fight back. Xia Qingxi looked at the woman in blue and said,

"You are Captain Ding's sister Guifen, right? I guessed that it was this sister-in-law who asked you to come with her to see me."

The woman in blue was about to leave, but when she heard Xia Qingxi's words, she immediately became curious. Not knowing how she guessed it, she stopped and looked at Xia Qingxi in confusion.

Seeing that her curiosity had been aroused, Xia Qingliu said slowly:

"Look how smart this sister-in-law is. She obviously wanted to come and see me, but she insisted on asking you to come along. She was the only one who said all the bad things. Now that she heard that I was going to visit you, she refuses to tell her own name." At this point, Xia Qingliu said as if joking:

"Sister-in-law, if I really hold a grudge, wouldn't I only remember your and your husband's names?"

Xia Qingliu originally didn't want to put it so bluntly, but this sister-in-law named Guifen didn't look very smart at first glance, and she was afraid that if she didn't explain it clearly, she wouldn't understand.

The words were so clear that anyone who was not mentally retarded could understand what it meant. Sure enough, Sister Guifen immediately looked at the sister-in-law in blue with disbelief and anger in her eyes, and quickly said:

"She was the one who asked me to come and see you." After that, as if to take revenge, she immediately reported the other party's identity:

"She is Meng Zhixiang's daughter-in-law Tian Kaiju."
