Chapter 336: 329
Upon hearing this, the women’s faces were embarrassed, and they dispersed.
“Hmph, you’re always playing the good person. How come no one gives you an extra glance?” Zhang Cuihua was annoyed every time it was Su Xiaoyan who interfered with her.
“I just need to be good to myself; it has nothing to do with others.
If you think your man doesn’t need to eat dinner, you can continue waiting here.
I’m going home to cook and won’t accompany you.” Su Xiaoyan was also upset.
She was not sure why Qin Xue was always involved in these matters. Was she cursed? Her own man worked under Qin Xue’s man, so she didn’t want to make it difficult for her man and had to stay out of the women’s gossip.
But when the women went too far, she couldn’t help but speak up.
Now that the women were gone, she had to go home and cook.
She had no time to waste with Zhang Cuihua here.
“Su Xiaoyan, you…” Zhang Cuihua stomped her feet angrily, watching Su Xiaoyan’s retreating figure.
Seeing that Su Xiaoyan ignored her, Zhang Cuihua glared at Qin Xue’s door as if it was Qin Xue herself, then turned around and went back to her own house.
Nangong Shulan, standing behind the door, listened to the women’s discussions and voices outside. She was so angry that she trembled and almost could not help opening the door to confront them.
Nangong Shulan watched her daughter busily working in the kitchen and felt great pity for her.
Her daughter had never experienced this before, yet those women outside were targeting her.
“Mom, what are you doing standing there?” Qin Xue asked after finishing cooking the crayfish and noticing that the voices outside had stopped.
She was surprised at how quickly they dispersed this time.
She stuck her head out of the kitchen door and saw her mother standing there, not knowing what she was doing.
“Qin Xue, have you always been like this?” Nangong Shulan asked her daughter after hearing her question.
“What do you mean?” Qin Xue didn’t understand what her mother meant.
“I mean those women outside.” Nangong Shulan looked at her daughter’s calm face.
“Oh, you’re talking about those gossipy women. It’s no big deal, really.
They talk like that just because they’re jealous.
Just ignore them.” Qin Xue casually shrugged her shoulders and said.
“You, girl, how can your heart be so big?” Nangong Shulan calmed down after hearing her daughter’s words.
She realized that she could get angry easily now.
“Mom, you have to understand one thing: people only get jealous when someone is doing well.
So should we stop living our lives well just because others are jealous?
Of course not, right? We won’t. In fact, we’ll live even better to show them.
In this way, just let them be jealous. Don’t you agree?” Qin Xue smiled and said to her mother.
“You girl, I can’t outtalk you.” Nangong Shulan understood her daughter’s intentions.
But when she first heard those women, she couldn’t help but get angry.
Her pampered daughter had been suffering from others’ exclusion all this time, which broke her heart as a mother.
But her big-hearted daughter was comforting her instead.
She felt reassured, knowing that her daughter had grown up and become sensible.
Her daughter didn’t care about petty disputes with others but wanted to make progress, which was her pride.
Nangong Shulan couldn’t help but ask herself, was she the one regressing and becoming narrow-minded?
In fact, Nangong Shulan was overthinking it. She got so angry because those women were talking about her daughter.
If she, as a mother, didn’t get angry, that would be the abnormal behavior.
