Chapter 68 Xiao Wu Didn't Like He Shanshan
The day before yesterday, when He Shanshan and Xiao Wu went on a blind date, both families were very happy and chatted happily. She also felt that she performed very well.
The night before yesterday, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night, thinking that they would definitely give her a lot of money. She had already thought about how to use the money:
first, she would buy a better bicycle than Xia Qingxiong's, and then see if that little girl could continue to show off in front of her.
Then she would buy a few more beautiful skirts than those worn by Mai Miao. When she thought of this, she was furious. Mai Miao, that damn girl, was not as pretty as herself. She just dressed up a little, and everyone said that she became prettier, so she had to dress up too, and then see who was prettier.
Then she had to buy a watch, preferably imported from abroad, so that she would look so fashionable when she wore it, and those young girls and wives would be envious.
And, she had to buy a gold necklace, too. After all, Xiao Wu's mother wore one, so she couldn't be without one.
Thinking of these, she felt happy all night, as if everything was within her reach.
Just as she thought, the day after the wedding, that is, yesterday morning, the matchmaker came again.
He Shanshan and her mother Wang Mingfang were very happy, thinking that she was here to discuss the engagement, but they never expected that the matchmaker didn't mention the engagement at all, and hesitated to say that she would introduce a new partner to her!
Upon hearing this, both mother and daughter were dumbfounded. Although He Shanshan said that Xiao Wu was "okay", she was actually very satisfied with him. Not only was he handsome, but his mother's dress was even more eye-catching. You have to know that people wearing gold and silver in this era were really rare.
Seeing that the marriage fell through, He Shanshan was very unwilling and kept asking what was going on with Xiao Wu.
In the end, the matchmaker was asked so many questions that she could only tell the truth that Xiao Wu didn't like her.
Wang Mingfang immediately asked: Didn't we have a good chat at that time? Why didn't you like her?
The matchmaker said, "We are all people of status. The other party just didn't express his attitude immediately out of courtesy. I was afraid that they would misunderstand me when I returned, so I came over quickly to make things clear, so as not to delay He Shanshan's other good marriages."
How did He Shanshan feel when she heard these words? Hmm, how should I describe it?
It was probably like in the real world, buying a lottery ticket for two yuan, imagining that you won 50 million, and you have thought about how to spend it: buying a villa, a Ferrari, luxury bags... You had a beautiful dream all night, but found out that you didn't win the lottery!
He Shanshan was so angry that she smashed pots and bowls at home, and kept cursing Xiao Wu for being blind and not even liking her. She also told the matchmaker that if Xiao Wu liked someone in the future, he must tell her, and she wanted to see how the person he liked was better than her.
After hearing what He Shanshan said, the matchmaker seemed to be hesitant to speak. She was going to say something, but seeing that she was angry, she thought it was better to have less trouble than more, so she didn't mention it again.
He Shanshan was very irritable all day today, and she didn't like anyone. So when Xia Qingling came home at around four o'clock in the afternoon, she heard her yelling at her niece Yingying, saying that she was too loud and disturbed her.
Wang Mingfang, who was standing aside, knew that He Shanshan was upset, so she let her scold her granddaughter to vent her anger.
He Shanshan was about to scold him when she saw Xia Qingling walk into the yard. She wanted to find fault with her and scold her a few words, but after seeing Lu Jingzhu behind her, she immediately gave up the idea.
She didn't dare to act rashly in front of him. She had not forgotten that he almost broke her hand last time. She could only shut up and go back to her room.
When Wang Mingfang saw Xia Qingxi and the others coming back, she immediately came to greet them, saying thank you for your hard work while helping to pick up things.
Although Lu Jingqi and Xia Qingxi didn't pay much attention to her, she still went to make tea for them with a smile.
Seeing the irritable He Shanshan, Xia Qingxi knew in her heart that her marriage with Xiao Wu didn't take place. Although she had expected it, now that the facts were verified, the corners of her lips still rose unconsciously.
After returning to the room, she tidied the room. Because the weather was hot, the flowers she had put in before leaving had wilted. She put them away and was about to throw them away when she saw Mai Miao walked in happily.
"Qingxi, you are finally back." Mai Miao said. As soon as she heard that Xia Qingxi was back, she came to find her immediately.
Mai Miao was wearing the white skirt that Xia Qingxi had altered for her last time. She had a good figure and the waist of the skirt was well-fitted. She looked really beautiful in it.
She also listened to Xia Qingxi and did not slack off. She put on makeup. After all, who doesn't want to be beautiful?
"Well, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Qingxi asked when she saw that she was a little anxious.
Mai Miao took out five yuan from her pocket with a smile and handed it to Xia Qingliu:
"I'll give you the money."
Xia Qingliu looked at the money she handed over and was a little confused because she had never lent her money before.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Mai Miao smiled and said,
"How can I really want such a beautiful skirt from you for nothing? You keep the money first. I will give you the remaining fifteen yuan after I get my salary."
Xia Qingying raised her hand to push the money back: "No, it's already been agreed upon. I'll give it to you." Fearing that she would feel burdened, she explained,
"You know, those scraps of cloth are worthless."
Mai Miao said that the cloth was worthless, but making clothes was also very hard. The two of them argued back and forth for a while, and Xia Qingying couldn't persuade her, so she symbolically took two yuan as labor fee and said that the rest was fine.
Mai Miao felt that she had taken advantage of Xia Qingying and felt very embarrassed.
After talking about the money, Mai Miao did not go back immediately. Knowing that Xia Qingxi's feet were sore from walking, he volunteered to help her throw away the garbage, and then came back to chat with her.
"How was it going back home? Was it fun?" Mai Miao said, and then he noticed that Xia Qingxing's eyes were red, and asked anxiously:
"Have you cried?" After asking, he suddenly remembered that the people in Xia Qingxing's hometown all thought that she married Lu Lidong, and asked with sudden enlightenment:
"Is it because they saw you and Brother Jingchen going back that the people in your village talked nonsense?"
Seeing her anxious look, Xia Qingxing explained:
"No, when I left, I was a little reluctant to leave my mom and the others."
"Oh, is that so." Mai Miao felt relieved after hearing this, and continued:
"With Brother Jingchen here, I think they won't dare to bully you." Knowing that mentioning this might make Xia Qingxing sad again, he quickly changed the subject:
"Qingxi, you don't know, I wore this outfit today, dressed up to go to work, and those people in our commune didn't recognize me, so I played along, pretending to be a leader who came to inspect the work, and teased them, hahahaha... you don't know how funny the scene was."
At this time, He Shanshan just came out of the room, saw Mai Miao lying in Xia Qingxi's ear and talking, and then laughed out loud.
She was originally timid, and now it was a sensitive period, so naturally she thought they were laughing at Xiao Wu for not liking her. Her face immediately fell, and she took a few steps to the two of them with an imposing manner, and asked loudly:
"What are you talking about?"
Suddenly interrupted by He Shanshan's scolding, Xia Qingxi and Mai Miao both raised their eyes and looked at her with dissatisfaction on their faces.
"Why do you care what we say? We have our own mouths, we can say whatever we want to say." Mai Miao said as if reciting a tongue twister.
She and He Shanshan had disliked each other for so many years, so naturally she didn't have a good tone for her.
Her words and tone made He Shanshan more convinced that they were just talking behind her back. Her face turned red with anger and she continued to question:
"What were you two laughing at just now? What's so funny?"
Xia Qingli knew why she was angry. Mai Miao on the side thought she was looking for trouble again and directly retorted:
"That's funny. Our faces are our own. We can laugh when we want to. What's it to you?"
He Shanshan was already ashamed of not being looked down upon. Now she was being laughed at by the two most annoying people. Her emotions got out of control and she said without thinking:
"Don't think I don't know. You were just laughing at me behind my back. That stupid Xiao Wu didn't look down on me. He was blind..."
"Ah?" Mai Miao suddenly understood what she said, but he didn't feel any sympathy for He Shanshan. He pretended to be surprised and asked:
"You said that the person you were dating didn't like you?"
After hearing this, He Shanshan realized that they didn't know it before. She was just regretting that she thought too much and spoke too quickly, and then she heard Mai Miao continue to say:
"Haha, then he is really..." At this point, Mai Miao deliberately paused, and then said with a look of approval:
"He really has good taste." After that, he looked at Xia Qingxing again, frowned and asked:
"Right, Qingxing?"
"Yeah." Xia Qingxing smiled and gave a positive answer in a very cooperative manner.
"You..." Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, He Shanshan was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
After being attacked like this, she would definitely fight back. She knew that she was indeed not as good-looking as Xia Qingliu, so she pointed her spearhead directly at Mai Miao and said sarcastically:
"What are you so proud of? If he doesn't like me, how could he like you? Haha... You didn't even look at yourself after washing your face. What kind of freak do you look like? You still have the nerve to stand here and watch others laugh at you."
As soon as she finished saying this, she saw the matchmaker who was arranging a marriage for her walked into the yard from the alley.
She thought: Why is she here again? Could it be that Xiao Wu changed his mind and wanted to be with her again?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, but the next second, her smile froze on her face, because she saw that the matchmaker walked directly into the door of Mai Miao's house.
