After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back

As Mai Miao walked out of Xia Qingning's house and just arrived in the yard, he saw a group of young wives surrounding He Shanshan, praising her newly bought skirt.

"Shanshan, buy new clothes again."

"You bought this skirt in a department store, right? It looks so trendy."

"It feels smooth and comfortable to the touch. It must be very expensive."

He Shanshan was surrounded in the middle, with a bright smile on her face. She raised her head high and answered their questions one by one.

"Shanshan, are you going on a blind date tomorrow?"

"No wonder she dressed so beautifully. She bought a red dress, bleached her face, and put on lipstick."

"With this pretty look, the guy will be completely bewildered tomorrow."

Hahaha……

Listening to what everyone was saying, He Shanshan, who was always noisy, also became shy and twisted her body, saying in an embarrassed tone:

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Mai Miao, who was passing by, saw her acting awkwardly and glanced at her with disgust, not wanting to pay any attention to her. Just as he was about to leave, he heard He Shanshan suddenly look at him and say to everyone:

"You know what? When I was in the department store today, I met Mai Miao and Xia Qingning. They said my skirt was ugly, but guess what happened..."

He Shanshan deliberately kept everyone in suspense while speaking, and then suddenly burst into laughter amid everyone's curious gazes:

"They turned around and bought a bunch of rags. This big pile..." She said, gesturing exaggeratedly with her hands:

"It was just such a big pile, and I spent a total of three dollars. When I paid the bill, Xia Qingning smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. Hahahaha..."

The shrill laughter made Mai Miao's ears hurt, and she saw a blush quickly creeping up her face. Although she felt very embarrassed, she still didn't want to hear her laugh at Xia Qingning like this, so she spoke up to defend her:

"What do you know? Qing Ning said she can make nice clothes, so she can definitely make them!"

"What nice clothes can be made from a pile of rags? Beggar's clothes? Haha..." He Shanshan laughed even more unscrupulously:

"When she finishes making it, don't forget to ask her to show it to us! I have never seen a new dress made entirely of rags."

"You!" Mai Miao was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he finally said:

"No matter how expensive your clothes are, they still can't hide your ugly heart! If that man really falls in love with you tomorrow, he'd be blind!"

He Shanshan cared the most about people saying she was ugly, even if they said she was ugly on the inside. After hearing what Mai Miao said, she immediately shouted back at the top of her voice:

"I'm ugly?? If I'm ugly, then you're just a toad! Hahahaha... It's so funny. If he doesn't like me, how can he like you?"

In terms of looks, apart from being dark, He Shanshan's facial features are indeed superior to Mai Miao's, so she can be so confident in saying things that belittle Mai Miao.

"Who do you say is a toad?" Mai Miao's face turned red.

"Whoever is uglier between us is the uglier one." He Shanshan raised her eyebrows with a look of contempt on her face.

Hearing He Shanshan humiliating him in front of so many people, Mai Miao couldn't hold it anymore. Just because she was prettier than him, could she point at him and call him ugly without restraint?

The more Mai Miao thought about it, the sadder she felt. Tears welled up in her eyes and were about to fall.

Xia Qingning, who was in the room, heard the quarrel between Mai Miao and He Shanshan through the window, and walked out.

The noise here was so loud that Lu Jingzhe naturally heard it, but he had no interest in this kind of noise, so even if the noise over there was louder, he didn't even look at it.

But now seeing Xia Qingning walking over there, he hesitated for a moment, but still followed her.

When Xia Qingning arrived, she happened to hear He Shanshan's ridicule of Mai Miao. She walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and consoled him:

"Don't listen to her, you're not ugly at all, you just haven't made up. If you put on makeup, you'll be no worse than her."

Hearing Xia Qingning speak for Mai Miao, He Shanshan snorted coldly, with a disdainful smile on her lips:

"Then why don't you draw one for her?" He continued to mock:

"But with your taste in buying trash as if it were treasure, don't really paint her into a toad with copper bell eyes and sausage mouth. Hahahaha, that would be really embarrassing."

Originally, Mai Miao was upset because He Shanshan ridiculed her for being ugly, but now seeing He Shanshan and Xia Qingning standing together, she suddenly felt confident and immediately held back her tears and said to He Shanshan:

"What are you so proud of? With your looks, standing next to Qing Ning, you're even worse than a toad."

"You are the toad!" He Shanshan became angry instantly and raised her hand to push Mai Miao.

She can say others are ugly, but others are never allowed to say she is ugly.

Mai Miao hit her back without giving in, and the two of them were about to start fighting.

The young wife at the side hurried over to stop the fight, but the two were too strong to separate, and the scene was in chaos until a voice shouted:

"Shanshan, please stop hitting me. I'm going to scratch your face and then how are you going to go on a blind date tomorrow?"

When He Shanshan heard this, she seemed to realize something and immediately stopped.

If he really scratched his face or damaged her new skirt, she would be in big trouble.

He Shanshan stopped fighting back, and soon Mai Miao was pulled away.

"You knew I was going to have a blind date tomorrow, so you did this on purpose, didn't you?" He Shanshan said belatedly, glaring at Mai Miao.

"You're talking nonsense!" Mai Miao cursed anxiously and looked at He Shanshan:

"I'm not as dirty as you. If I really had such thoughts, I would have scratched your face just now."

He Shanshan knew that she would not gain any advantage if she continued to waste time, so she glanced at Mai Miao and said condescendingly:

"I just look better than you, there's no point in you being jealous! You ugly bastard!"

After saying that, she adjusted her skirt and hair, raised her head and strode forward.

Which girl doesn't love beauty, especially when she is eighteen or nineteen years old? When Mai Miao was attacked for her appearance in public by He Shanshan again, her eyes immediately turned red.

"Are you okay?" Xia Qingning saw her like this and hurried forward to ask, "Are you hurt?"

When the two were fighting, she also wanted to step forward to stop them, but He Shanshan was as strong as an ox, Mai Miao was also using all his strength, and there was a group of people around trying to stop the fight. With her small body, she couldn't even get close to the two of them.

"No." Mai Miao said in a somewhat depressed mood, trying to hold back tears, and waved to Xia Qingning:

"I'm going home." Then he turned and walked home.

Looking at her lost back and thinking of the hurtful words He Shanshan had just said, a hint of coldness flashed in Xia Qingning's eyes.

She remembered that in the original book, He Shanshan did marry well. The man came from a well-off family, had a good temper, and was smart. Later, when the situation became more open, he made a lot of money. He Shanshan married him, gave birth to two sons in succession, and enjoyed a life of happiness.

Xia Qingning's eyes were cold and she already had an idea in her mind.

With He Shanshan's character and personality, she doesn't deserve to live such a good life!
