Chapter 49: The slap in the face came so quickly

Amidst everyone's laughter, He Shanshan felt so ashamed that she

couldn't stay here any longer. She turned around and ran home, feeling embarrassed and annoyed. Seeing her sister-in-law leave, Yao Hongmei didn't stay any longer. She picked up her daughter and chased after her, saying to He Shanshan as she walked: "Children don't know better" and "Don't be angry".

After the two of them left, Mai Miao noticed the skirt in Xia Qingxi's hand and asked with joy:

"Qingxi, is this the skirt I bought yesterday? Have you altered it?"

Xia Qingxi handed the skirt to her: "Well, see if you like it."

Mai Miao couldn't wait to take the skirt and shook it down, and the whole skirt was revealed to everyone.

The high-necked dress had been changed to a U-neck. The cut fabric was made into lace and sewn on the cuffs. A few blue-green edges were added to the skirt. Six or seven small lavender flowers were clustered together and sewn at the waist of the skirt.

Everyone was stunned again. Those purple flowers were the finishing touch. The skirt suddenly reached a new level of beauty.

"It's so beautiful!" Mai Miao couldn't help but say. She had a new hairstyle today, put on beautiful makeup, and got two more beautiful skirts. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

Everyone also cast envious eyes on her and praised Xia Qingxing for her dexterity. Some of them also asked Xia Qingxing to help them put on makeup, hoping to become as beautiful as Mai Miao.

Xia Qingxing's image in everyone's mind seemed to have risen all of a sudden.

After handing the skirt to Mai Miao, Xia Qingxi waved to her and prepared to go home. Mai Miao seemed to suddenly think of something, pulled her and said mysteriously:

"Someone will give you a surprise later."

Xia Qingxi did not expect Mai Miao to imitate her and asked in cooperation:

"What surprise?"

"If I tell you in advance, it is not a surprise, haha, just go back and wait." Mai Miao also kept it a secret.

Xia Qingxi was not expecting any surprises. She smiled, waved goodbye to her, and turned back home. As

soon as she got home, she heard He Shanshan blaming Yao Hongmei, saying that she could not even control her child's mouth. Facing He Shanshan's unreasonable behavior, Yao Hongmei did not dare to argue with her, and could only stand silently and let her scold.

In fact, Yao Hongmei is very pretty and her family is not bad. It was her father who arranged Lu Lidong's job. At that time, her father was a chef in a state-owned hotel. After she fell in love with Lu Lidong, she begged her father to arrange Lu Lidong to work there.

When she first married four years ago, Wang Mingfang called her a "daughter" and was very caring and polite to her on the surface.

But not long after, her father died of lung cancer. Her mother was just an ordinary housewife, and she had no brothers or sisters to rely on. Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter. She has not had any more children for many years, so her status in the family has taken a sharp turn for the worse.

Wang Mingfang is the most profit-seeking. Knowing that she can't get any benefits from her, she is no longer so polite, and He Shanshan's attitude towards her has also become arrogant.

He Shanshan, who was originally scolding Yao Hongmei, immediately transferred her anger from Yao Hongmei to Xia Qingxi when she saw her return.

Just now, outside, in front of so many people, He Shanshan was still cautious, but now at home, with Lu Jingzhen not around, she naturally would not be polite to Xia Qingxi. She put her hands on her hips, looked ferocious and cursed:

"How dare you come back, you little bitch!"

This is the nature of human beings. If you keep bullying someone, you will feel that this person is inferior to you. Even if she has changed and resisted, you will feel that you can suppress her with your previous authority.

This is He Shanshan's mentality now.

"Why shouldn't I come back?" Xia Qingling showed an ambiguous smile on her lips, and asked in a puzzled manner:

"Is there any man-eating monster in this family?"

Hearing the word "monster" again, He Shanshan was furious. All the insults she had suffered turned into anger that rushed straight to her head, making her completely lose her mind. She only shouted:

"You little bitch, I'm going to beat you to death!"

After that, she stood up suddenly, rushed to Xia Qingling in a few steps, waved her fist, and was about to attack her.

Wang Mingfang, who came out of the kitchen, happened to see this scene. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop He Shanshan and shouted in a pretentious manner:

"Shanshan, do you still want to stay in this house? If you dare to lay a hand on Qingxing and leave any scars, when he comes back in a panic, you'll see how he'll deal with you."

These words sounded like they were defending Xia Qingxing, but in fact they were reminding He Shanshan not to mess around and cause injuries that would be hard to explain.

He Shanshan was just confused by anger for a moment, but after her mother's yell, she regained some of her rationality. She put down her hand unwillingly and couldn't help but sneer:

"You have no money to buy new clothes, so you make a few skirts with rags. Humph, I don't know what you are showing off about?"

"Who said Qingxing has no new clothes!" At this time, a loud female voice suddenly sounded outside the door. A moment later, Mai Miao walked in, looked at He Shanshan angrily and said:

"Qingxing will have new clothes soon, but they are much more expensive than the one you are wearing. You can only envy her then."

After hearing what Mai Miao said, He Shanshan naturally didn't believe it. Yesterday, Xia Qingxing was reluctant to buy a piece of Dacron worth more than ten yuan, so how could she buy more expensive clothes.

"Hmph." He Shanshan snorted disdainfully, concluding that she was lying to save face, and laughed,

"Who can't brag? What do you mean by having it soon? If you have the ability, show it now and make me jealous."

Mai Miao wanted to say something, but was a little hesitant. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Anyway, it will be soon."

Seeing her hesitating, He Shanshan became more certain of her guess and laughed,

"Haha, I will soon be a 10,000 yuan household."

At this moment, the sound of a bicycle brake suddenly came from outside the door. Mai Miao looked up and immediately smiled,

"Here, Qingxi's new skirt has arrived."
