Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Xia Qingqing contacted a restaurant near the alley and ordered ten tables of wine. She then went to invite her neighbors one by one. For weddings, invitations were sent out, and for funerals, people had to be invited door-to-door. She only went to some families who lived nearby, and calculated the number of people, so there was just enough for ten tables.

The neighbors all praised her for her kindness and righteousness. The next day, everyone came to the banquet and gave money for their contributions. The money was not much, but it was also a token of their heartfelt appreciation. Xia Qingqing wore a white shirt and black pants, with a black veil on her arm, and stood at the door of the restaurant to return the gifts one by one. She was very polite.

Shen Qiubai also came to the banquet. He was a distant relative of Old Lady Yang and had lived in the Yang family for several years, so it was reasonable for him to come.

"I am sorry for your loss!"

Shen Qiubai said in a deep voice.

Xia Qingqing bowed deeply, and the two looked at each other with a little more smile in their eyes.

He and Tie Niu entered the restaurant. Uncle Li and Sister Xu were sitting at the table at the door. When they saw Shen Qiubai coming in, they greeted him warmly.

Shen Qiubai lived in the Yang family for several years. The neighbors all remembered him and knew that he had a bright future after joining the army. Unfortunately, his health was not good. However, he was still a factory director and had more prospects than many people who were as strong as bulls.

"My cousin and her family, ah... they deserve what they get, but it's still regrettable."

Shen Qiubai sighed softly, looking regretful.

"Yes, fortunately Xiao Xia is kind and took care of their funeral affairs." Everyone responded.

They all knew the relationship between Shen Qiubai and the Yang family. Although she called Old Lady Yang her cousin, they were not really related. It was only because Shen Qiubai's family encountered misfortune that she went to live with Old Lady Yang's brother.

Later, old lady Yang's brothers died, and Shen Qiubai lived in the Yang family. He was often bullied by this family, but young Shen did not bear a grudge. After he became successful, he still took care of the Yang family. The job of that bastard Yang Hongbing was arranged by Shen Qiubai.

Everyone has a very good impression of Shen Qiubai, thinking that he is loyal, broad-minded and a good person.

Xia Qingqing ordered a medium-sized tofu banquet. After all, she was spending the Yang family's money, so she wanted to do good things to the end and make sure to leave a good reputation. Although she was shameless, having a good reputation could save her a lot of trouble.

After the tofu banquet ended, Xia Qingqing's reputation for being affectionate and righteous spread. Although her reputation as a jinx was also high, one's fate was one's fate and one's character was one's character, and the two were different.

People with good character can be dealt with, as long as you don't marry them.

Three days later, Master Zhao finished the work. The repainted white walls made the whole house look brand new. Xia Qingqing paid her wages and threw away all the bedding and clothes that the Yang family had slept in, as she thought it was unlucky.

The wall dried in one day. Xia Qingqing bought some bedding and moved in with Xiao Yingyue. The first floor was used as a tailor shop and the second floor was used for living, making the house suddenly more spacious.

In this life, Xiao Yingyue still has a strong talent for operating a sewing machine. Xia Qingqing learned it after only teaching her a few times. However, Xiao Yingyue cannot cut, she can only operate a sewing machine.

The two of them divided the work, Xia Qingqing cut and Xiao Yingyue operated the sewing machine, which greatly improved their efficiency.

People in the alley are very interested in Xiao Yingyue, and some even want to introduce her to a boyfriend, but they have to find out about the girl's family situation first. Sister Xu was asked by someone to ask Xia Qingqing.

"My sister is just like me. She can't rely on her biological mother, so she married a stepfather who is biased towards his stepdaughter. Yingyue lives a life worse than a dog at home. They even want to kill Yingyue and occupy the villa left by Yingyue's biological father."

Xia Qingqing exaggerated Xiao Yingyue's tragic fate and talked about Ding Yumei's Xiao Zhiguang's shamelessness and viciousness. Sister Xu's mood also fluctuated, and she was very angry.

"Is there something wrong with this woman's brain? She doesn't love her own daughter, but loves her stepdaughter instead. Oh, I'm so angry. Fortunately, you, Qingqing, are still here to take care of her, otherwise I'm afraid there wouldn't be even a bone left of your sister!"

Sister Xu was so angry that she drank a large cup of cold tea, and then she sighed, "It's always said that it's better to be with a beggar mother than a government official father. This is not true. Some mothers are also black-hearted."

"After all, they are a minority. Most biological mothers are good. It's just that Yingyue and I haven't encountered such a situation."

Xia Qingqing looked melancholy. Perhaps her relationship with her parents was not deep. She could not count on these intangible things. Money was the most important thing to her.

"Parents and children also depend on fate. In this life, it is impossible for a person to be perfect. If you lose something in one place, you will make up for it in another place. Just think positively."

Sister Xu said some philosophical words, and then she sighed and looked melancholy. Without waiting for Xia Qingqing to ask, she started talking about her own affairs.

"There are four sisters in my family, and I am the second oldest. My eldest sister is called Xu Zhaodi, and I am called Xu Yingdi. The third is my younger brother, named Xu Baogen, and the fourth is my younger sister, named Xu Qingdi. My eldest sister is the eldest daughter, and my parents love her very much. My younger brother is my precious son, and the lifeblood of my parents. My youngest sister is the youngest, and my parents also love her. Only I am nothing."

Sister Xu looked self-deprecating. Even though she was living the best life among her sisters and her parents had to curry favor with her, she still felt heartbroken when she thought about her childhood.

"Living a good life is more important than anything else. Parents are actually snobbish. They don't care about you as much as money. Sister Xu, you look like a blessed person. You have suffered a lot when you were young, and all you have left in the future is to enjoy yourself!" Xia Qingqing comforted her.

"You are such a talkative little guy. I don't know which man will be so lucky in the future!"

Sister Xu was so delighted by her that she tentatively asked about Xia Qingqing's future plans.

"I just want to make money to support my brother now, and I also want to study and recharge myself. I don't want anything else. Yingyue is still young and she also needs to go to school."

Xia Qingqing said it very directly. She and Xiao Yingyue were both young and beautiful, and many people had their eyes on them, so she decided to make it clear today.

"It's good to go to school. Knowledge is wealth!"

Sister Xu was very good at reading people’s expressions and understood what they said as soon as they heard it, and immediately agreed with them.

Xia Qingqing bought some fruit leather and left. As soon as she left, a few middle-aged ladies came.

"Don't think about it. They don't have that idea at all. Xiao Xiao is only 20 and Qing Qing is only . They still have to go to school!" Sister Xu said as she dusted the counter with a feather duster.

"She's a widow, and she's still going to school?"

An old lady curled her lips in disdain, thinking that Xia Qingqing was daydreaming.

"What's wrong with being a widow? Qingqing is still a virgin. Jiang Taigong is still the prime minister at the age of 70 or 80. Why can't Qingqing go to school? It's really funny!"

Sister Xu glared at him. She didn't like to hear such words. It was a new society now and women held up half the sky. Why couldn't they go to school?

After that, although there were still rumors, they decreased a lot, and fewer people were inquiring about the two sisters. They were all decent people, and since Xia Qingqing had clearly stated that she didn't want to remarry, they certainly wouldn't be so shameless as to force their way in.

In the blink of an eye, it was July. Shen Qiubai called and said that the ginseng had been delivered and was placed in his big villa. Xia Qingqing ran over that same day.
