After the replacement of the military officer, the soft stepmother won

Ji Qingping didn't expect that the girl who was usually quiet, self-deprecating and shy would become so dazzling and graceful tonight and be welcomed by everyone.

He was silent for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

When Lin Xuanxuan saw this scene, her eyes were filled with sadness.

He also feels that marrying me... is like marrying a treasure?

She had been suppressed, belittled, and described as worthless for so many years, but at this moment, Ji Qingping finally affirmed her. She felt mixed emotions, tears welled up in her eyes, and she wanted to cry.

Li Xiumei didn't expect that Lin Xuanxuan, who was usually useless, would be so popular today. Especially since Lin Xuanxuan gave her a piece when she was distributing mooncakes just now. She tasted it and it was indeed delicious!

Seeing that everyone was praising Lin Xuanxuan, and Lin Xuanxuan was her daughter-in-law, Li Xiumei finally felt happy for a while, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Xuanxuan became a little more pleasing.

"My daughter-in-law is the most filial to me. She does the housework diligently and keeps the house in tidy order. She cooks, washes pots and dishes, massages my legs, shoulders, and waist, washes my feet, and emptys the chamber pot. She does everything and hands over all the money she earns to me every month. Of course, my son is more sensible and well-behaved. He never makes me angry and also hands over his salary every month." Li Xiumei said proudly, showing her sense of superiority.

She wanted to show off that she was pampered and well-off.

But the other military wives felt a little sympathy for Lin Xuanxuan when they heard these words.

“Is this something worth bragging about?”

"That's right. Being her daughter-in-law must be exhausting!"

"Luckily I don't have a mother-in-law like this, otherwise I would have been beaten to death."

"Doing so much work, she must be busier and more tired than the donkey in the production team! And in the end, she still has to hand in her salary? Xuanxuan married into their family, not sold herself to them! Those who know her would think she is their daughter-in-law, while those who don't would think she is a slave!"

"What kind of life has Xuanxuan been living these years! It's so pitiful!"

"Yeah, that's fine. I often hear her mother-in-law beating and scolding her at home. This is already abuse. It's so pitiful..."

Originally, when Li Xiumei said this, she thought she would hear people envying her, and that people would ask her how she disciplined her daughter-in-law to be so obedient. However, she did not expect that everyone looked at her strangely, and the words they said became more and more unpleasant, and some even felt sympathy for Lin Xuanxuan?

After hearing this, Ji Qingping frowned coldly.

He works outside, is this the life Xuanxuan lives at home?

He knew before that his mother disliked Xuanxuan, often scolded her and occasionally beat her. After getting married, he also told his mother that Xuanxuan was his wife and asked her to be nicer to her.

He usually works in the team and is not clear about the situation at home, but every time he comes home from get off work, it is peaceful.

He didn't know that Xuanxuan had to do so much work at home, and he didn't know that Lin Xuanxuan had to hand over all her income, leaving her with no money...

Hearing those words from people around him, Ji Qingping realized that if Lin Xuanxuan married into their family, it would really be like being a slave and being treated like a cow or a horse.

"Mom, do you always treat Xuanxuan like this at home?" Ji Qingping frowned, his face darkening.

"I...what's wrong with me doing this? Isn't it natural for a daughter-in-law to be filial to her mother-in-law?" Li Xiumei retorted.

"Are you sure this is filial piety and not slavery?" Shen Li at the side couldn't help but say, "Don't you think your behavior towards your daughter-in-law is oppression and exploitation? How are your behaviors different from those of the feudal landlord class?"

"I..." Li Xiumei was speechless.

"Mom, Xuanxuan is my wife after all. Even for my sake, you shouldn't treat her like that." For the first time, Ji Qingping's face darkened towards Li Xiumei.

"Okay, you all gang up on me and bully me!" Li Xiumei had always been used to being flattered, so she couldn't stand this. Even her most filial son was now cold to her. She was very sad. "I've seen it, you all despise me, I'm leaving now and won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, Li Xiumei ran away wiping her tears with red eyes.

Ji Qingping did not chase after him. He looked at Xuanxuan who was not far away, sighed, and waved to her, "Xuanxuan, come here."

His voice was no longer as cold and distant as before, but this time it had a little more warmth.

Everyone around was watching. Lin Xuanxuan walked towards him and sat opposite Ji Qingping.

"Xuanxuan, does your face still hurt?" Ji Qingping raised his hand to touch Lin Xuanxuan's face.

Lin Xuanxuan thought of the grievance of being splashed with hot water, and the cold and cold-blooded way Ji Qingping treated her before. Her nose felt sore and she almost cried. She dodged, not letting Ji Qingping touch her face, and shook her head.

Perhaps because Lin Xuanxuan was dressed exquisitely tonight, her eyes were full of tears, and her childish and gentle face looked pitiful and particularly sympathetic.

"I really don't know your situation at home." Ji Qingping said, "I have been working for many years, and sometimes I have to go out on missions for two or three months. Thank you for taking care of mom and this family at home."

Lin Xuanxuan was stunned.

This was the first time he said thank you to himself.

"From now on, you should keep every penny you earn for yourself and don't have to give it to mom." Ji Qingping said, "As for the money I earn, I will also give it to you and you will manage it."

All the money he earned over the years was handed over to his mother. His mother still had the family's savings and deposits over the years, so she would not be short of money. On the contrary, his wife Xuanxuan - after all these years, she only had this one set of clothes to wear out.

This dress is probably also worn by Shen Li.

As they are both wives, he doesn’t want to treat his woman unfairly.

Although being with Xuanxuan before was indeed an accident, they are already husband and wife, and he should give Xuanxuan the proper respect.

Lin Xuanxuan looked at him in surprise.

Every time in front of me and his biological mother, he always takes his biological mother's side.

But this time, he was actually defending himself...

"In the past, I neglected a lot, including your feelings." Ji Qingping paused, and then he stretched out his big hand and held Xuanxuan's cold little hand. "I won't do that again in the future."

Lin Xuanxuan looked at him in confusion.

Can she trust him?

Did he really change his mind and want to be nice to her?

……

Not far away, Shen Li looked at this scene and smiled with relief.

The two looked like they were about to reconcile.

But there is always a hidden danger in the relationship between these two people - Su Xuezhi.

However, Su Xuezhi is already married. I hope she will behave herself and not do things like going back to her ex, which would affect the relationship between them.

Shen Li was sitting with her family, chatting and laughing. At this moment, Zhang Yuanyuan, who had changed into a bright red dress, came towards Lu Jingchuan with a glass of wine in her hand and smiled, "Brother Lu, can I invite you to have a drink?"
