Chapter 65 - 62 The Kind Mother-in-law and the Filial Daughter-in-law (120+)
As soon as Fang Xiu finished speaking, Zhou Yunmei happened to come back from outside, and she was not alone; her daughter Xu He and Duan Fenghua were with her.
Seeing the women in the house discussing clothes, she hurried over with a smile and said, "Hong Lan, the color of this dress is really pretty. Where did you buy the fabric?"
Luo Honglan and Xu He were not very familiar, so she smiled shyly, looked at the dress in her hand, and said, "My sister-in-law bought it for me. Do you really think the color is nice?"
"It’s pretty." Xu He said, and even took the dress from Luo Honglan’s hands, opened it up, and upon seeing its style, her eyes lit up. She pulled Luo Honglan and asked, "Hong Lan, where did you get this dress made? Is it a new style? I don’t think it’s sold in our town."
Upon hearing this, Luo Honglan proudly said, "My sister-in-law made it. Indeed, you can’t buy it in town."
Upon hearing this, Xu He paused for a moment, then walked over and affectionately took Fang Pingying’s hand, saying, "Sister Pingying, you are really skillful, and you can even make clothes yourself."
With the lessons learned from her past life, Fang Pingying knew Xu He’s greatest strength was to play possum—sweet-talking you to your face while stabbing you in the back harder than anyone else.
Fang Pingying disliked Xu He coming closer, so she subtly stood a bit farther away from Xu He, so she couldn’t make contact. Then she said with a light smile, "I just made it casually, I can’t really say I know how to make clothes."
"If this is what you call casual, it must be amazing when you take it seriously." Duan Fenghua, who had been looking on, also came over and took the dress from Luo Honglan to look at it, then suddenly said to Zhou Yunmei with a smile, "Sister-in-law, why bother asking tailors to make clothes when your daughter-in-law could do it for you? You could save quite a bit of money."
Duan Fenghua’s comment seemed to be a compliment to Fang Pingying, but upon deeper reflection, it seemed to carry an instigating undertone.
