Shen Qingqing's eyes were slightly lowered, and she glanced at the flattering smile on the girl's face. She curled her lips and smiled meaningfully, "You embroidered it? Are you sure?"
The little girl didn't expect that she would ask such a question. She raised her head in panic and happened to meet Shen Qingqing's sharp eyes. Her head was so hot that she completely forgot what she was going to say.
After a moment of silence, a similarly fat woman stood up to help her: "Qingqing, this girl is my niece. She is gifted with a pair of skillful hands and is very good at embroidery. If you don't believe me, go to the next village and ask, she will definitely do it."
No adulteration.”
At this time, the little girl also came to her senses and explained excitedly: "Sister Qingqing, I did embroider that veil. If you don't believe me, check if there is a word 'phoenix' embroidered in the lower left corner of the veil. My name is Xiaofeng."
!”
Shen Qingqing did not check, but winked at her calmly and said, "Let's go into the room and talk."
Xiaofeng's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked and asked her aunt for help. The woman waved her hand to her, "It's okay, let's go in. What are we afraid of if we have real abilities?"
Xiaofeng bit her lip and bravely entered the main room.
Shen Qingqing closed the door and pointed to the bench, "Sit down."
Xiaofeng shook his head and looked nervous, "No, I just stand and listen."
Shen Qingqing no longer cared about it, put the handkerchief on the table, and asked her, "Can you tell me who embroidered this handkerchief?"
"Of course I did the embroidery! Except for me, no one in Ningyang County has such good skills." Xiaofeng bent down and picked up the handkerchief, showing her the small characters in the corner, "Look, my name is all on it.
, how could it be false?”
Shen Qingqing glanced at her face, which was clearly too guilty and still trying to force an explanation, shook her head and said: "I understand, you can go."
"Let's go?" Xiaofeng was stunned, "Don't you even look down on such beautiful embroidery?"
Shen Qingqing emphasized her tone: "Let's go!"
When Xiaofeng saw that this was not going to happen, she immediately changed her face and said angrily: "Let's just leave. Who wants to please you? The second aunt also said that you are a capable woman and asked me to follow you well. I think you are capable."
False, blindness is the truth!"
Shen Qingqing raised her eyebrows, and suddenly there was a bit of sternness in her eyes. She grabbed her arm and led her out the door, "You are shameless, so I will help you tear off your shame!"
Xiaofeng was frightened by her sudden move. She pulled the handkerchief to the other side with a red head and a swollen face. She didn't even bother to pick up the handkerchief when it fell. She yelled at the top of her throat: "Let me go, crazy bitch, let me go!"
Everyone in the courtyard gathered around after hearing this, and Xiaofeng's aunt was so frightened that her hands and feet were weak, and she cried and stepped forward to stop the fight: "Did Xiaofeng say something wrong? She is young and ignorant, and I apologize to you on her behalf.
.Qingqing, don’t act like a child."
"Child? Any child with her mind would be able to become a spirit!" Shen Qingqing threw Xiaofeng into the crowd, turned around and asked He to get some needlework and embroidery fabrics, and sneered: "Aren't you good at craftsmanship?
Come, embroider a flower for me on the spot."
At this time, someone finally heard the secret, "Qingqing, do you suspect that she didn't embroider this veil?"
"No, I heard someone said that the ladies in the city rushed to buy the handkerchiefs embroidered by the daughter of the Zhang family in Lihua Village. If she didn't embroider them, who else could it be?"
"Whether it's true or not, you can tell after testing it, right?" Shen Qingqing handed the needle and thread to Zhang Xiaofeng, "If we can really prove that this handkerchief was made by you, you can pay whatever you want."
Zhang Xiaofeng shook her head and kept backing away, "I don't, I don't embroider..."
"Are you stupid, why don't you embroider?" Aunt Xiaofeng took the needle and thread and stuffed it into her hand, "Embroider anything you like and let everyone see your skills. Be obedient."
"I said I don't want to embroider, don't you understand?" Zhang Xiaofeng yelled angrily: "Why should I do it if she asks me to do it? Who is she?"
"It's not that you don't embroider, it's just that you can't embroider."
Shen Qingqing grabbed her wrist with a cold face and raised her right hand, which was as fat as a pig's trotter. "Look at your tender hand. Is there a callus? Look at other people's hands. Whose hand is there?"
No calluses from rubbing embroidery thread?"
"Hey, there really isn't a callus at all!" the aunt standing in the front row said, "and I think her hands seem a bit clumsy, not like those used to embroidery."
"You fart, who said the embroiderer must have calluses on her hands? Can't I take good care of them?" Zhang Xiaofeng retorted.
The aunt glared at her unconvinced: "Then you do embroidery? What's the use of just talking? I'll apologize to you if you embroider it!"
"I..." Zhang Xiaofeng was so angry that her lips turned black, she gritted her teeth and said "I" for a long time without being able to hold back a word, and finally ran away crying.
Aunt Xiaofeng chased after her, "Why are you running? Haven't you been able to embroider since you were a child? Why are you so weak now when it's your turn to show off?"
Zhang Xiaofeng ignored her and ran to the entrance of the village before stopping, turned around and shouted angrily: "It's all your fault. If you hadn't called me to come over and hand over the embroidery, would I have been so embarrassed?"
"No? I kindly found you a job to make money, but you are crazy and disobedient. How can you become my fault?"
Aunt Xiaofeng was furious at her words, "Don't say anything anymore. You can go home. I will never care about your family's affairs again."
Zhang Xiaofeng snorted, turned around and left.
Zhangjiamen, Lihua Village.
Zhang's mother was waiting eagerly at the door of her house. When she saw her daughter running this way from a distance, she was so happy that she slapped her thigh, "Oh, this must be happening..."
Before the words "It's done" were uttered, Zhang Xiaofeng rushed over to her in tears, "Mom, it's finished. They saw that I didn't embroider the handkerchief."
Zhang's mother was struck by lightning, "Your reputation for good embroidery has been spread for a long time. How could they see it?"
"I don't know how she figured it out. Anyway, as soon as she got the handkerchief, she asked if it was embroidered by me. I definitely said yes and showed her the words embroidered on it, but she just didn't believe it and pressed me
Let me embroider a flower in front of everyone."
Zhang Xiaofeng stomped her feet angrily, "But I didn't even know how to hold a needle, so I had to find a way to run away. I was laughed at a lot before I left."
"Now they must all know that I don't know how to embroider, and maybe they can guess that I stole my cousin's embroidery. Oh wow, how should I meet people in the future?"
She originally hoped that this good embroidery job would go to her husband's family with better conditions, but now everything was ruined!
"No, there is something fishy about this." Mother Zhang held her daughter's hand and calmed down to analyze the situation: "Perhaps that bitch Ping'er had an itchy scalp and deliberately told others, otherwise no one would have discovered it for so many years.
Why did someone spot it today?"
"Let's go and settle the score with that bitch. If she is really behind this, I will have to skin her today!"
