Chapter 141: The Zhang family elders were worried and would come out to ask about it from time to time.

So he quickly said, "Okay, aunt, there's no need to delve into these things. You're overthinking it. Mr. Xie was just joking. He's not really interested in me like you say."

"Besides, I'm a divorced woman, and now I'm exiled here. There are some things I don't want to think about."

The aunt held her hand, agreed with her words, and taught her earnestly.

"Mianmian, you're right. Love and affection are useless! Even if you're a woman, you can't live a carefree life just by marrying into a wealthy family."

"Look, Auntie, instead of being trapped in love and relying on others, you should develop your own abilities!"

It's rare for her to have such an idea. Maybe she figured it out in the past few years.

Before they knew it, they had been walking for a long time. For some reason, Ruan Mian felt inexplicably close to this aunt.

So after arriving at the house, I relaxed a little.

It was already nightfall. Cuizhu and the others were worried about her, so they lit a bonfire outside the house and waited.

The old couple Zhang were also worried and came out to check on the situation from time to time.

When Ruan Mian came back, Zhang and the others were just at the door of the house.

However, the first one to rush forward was my aunt.

She knelt down in front of Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Zhang, her eyes blurred with tears.

"Brother!"

When Mr. Ruan saw that it was the eldest sister, he was stunned and stood there with a look of disbelief!

"Sister?"

But when he thought of what happened before, Mr. Ruan's face immediately fell.

Knowing that he would do this, the eldest aunt told him everything about how she had been threatened by Jiang Ruohuai and how she had lived under his nose.

Later on, even Mr. Ruan, a grown man, shed tears.

Seeing this situation, Ruan Mian thought that what his aunt said was probably true.

So he stepped aside and let the siblings talk to each other.

Cuizhu and the others had been standing outside the house. When they saw her come out, they immediately came over and asked her a few more questions.

"Girl, is that really your aunt?"

"Sister, I've only heard mother and others mention this aunt before, and I've never met her. How did she come to this place, and meet you by such a coincidence?!"

Just saying it out loud is a bit surprising.

I hope she came here purely to see Mr. Ruan and has no other purpose.

Ruan Mian put the money he earned today on the table, which made Cuizhu and the others very happy!

"Those things can actually be sold for so much money?! Girl, are we going to have a good life from now on?!"

Cuizhu was very excited: "Meixi and I will weave day and night, and we will definitely earn more."

Ruan Mian smiled and said, "You are probably obsessed with money."

Thinking about money, there are indeed money holes everywhere at the foot of Longchang Mountain. Aren't they also money holes in this valley?

She suddenly remembered something and asked Cuizhu to get some angelica, peach kernel and yam from the medicine box.

Cuizhu was a little curious: "Miss, what have you thought of now?"

Ruan Mian smiled indifferently and kept the question in suspense.

"Develop more ways to make money, and you'll know later."

After saying that, he took out a clean pottery jar, ground the herbs into powder together, then soaked the prepared ginseng in hot water, and drained out the juice after a while.

Finally, mix the juice with the medicinal powder and stir it into a paste like mud.

Cuizhu and Ruan Qing both leaned over and asked, "Sister, how do you make money with these things?"

"come over."

Ruan Mian invited them to come over and smeared these things on their faces beautifully: "This is called Ginseng Beauty Mud Mask, it's a good thing for women."

"See the lines on our faces? Applying a mask from time to time can reduce wrinkles on our skin, and make us look better and our skin more fair."

"After a cup of tea, just wash it off. It's similar to moisturizing cream, but the difference is that the effect is short-term, while this one will get better and better as long as you use it consistently."

Upon hearing that it had such great effects, Ruan Qing and the others immediately became very interested in it and rushed to ask Ruan Mian to apply more of it on them.

Since she had nothing to do anyway, she put on a facial mask with them.

When the time came and she was about to wash, a head popped out from the door, which scared Cuizhu!

“Ghost!”

She screamed, and her aunt pushed the door open and came in: "It's me, it's me!"

"Auntie is here to see me?"

Ruan Mian saw that her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had been crying.

Just as she was about to express her concern, her aunt suddenly stared at their masked faces and said in surprise, "Who came up with this idea?"

Ruan Mian looked over in confusion: "Aunt, is there something wrong?"

The eldest aunt suddenly realized that it was Ruan Mian's idea. She ran forward again with a shocked face, and after trying to calm down, she lowered her voice and asked.

"Mianmian, do you know this thing is called a facial mask?"

How did she know such a modern word as facial mask?

Just as she was thinking about it, her aunt suddenly pulled her out of the house and continued to question her in an empty yard.

"Mianmian, do you know that in a certain world, there are giant flying birds that can take you anywhere you want to go? Also, there are mounts, four-wheeled ones that are much faster than carriages. They're also called cars, but they're sedans."

Hearing this, Ruan Mian was also surprised: "You...a time traveler?"

I saw my aunt shaking her head like a wave, correcting her.

"Rebirth! I'm reborn! A second-life reborn! Mianmian, can you believe this? This is ridiculous!!"

She was originally a bitter little girl who was held hostage by others. In her first life, she married the wrong man, which led to the death of her biological mother. In the end, she was abandoned to death by that heartless man.

After her death, her soul lingered and went to another world.

Everything was different there. Men and women were equal, monogamy was the norm, and there were lots of delicious food and fun things to do. But damn, she didn't enjoy it for long because she died in an accident.

When she woke up again, she returned to her childhood as Little Bitter Melon, and was reborn when she was abandoned in the village.

In this life, the first thing she did was to meet Jiang Ruohuai and stab him in the throat.

Then there was endless escape.

He had gone through numerous trials and tribulations and had barely managed to survive until he met Ruan Mian.

She met her brother in this life, and they explained the truth of what happened back then to each other, which fulfilled a wish of hers.

But after seeing Ruan Mian's specialness, she was still shocked.

"Mianmian, are you also..." Ruan Mian quickly shook his head and said truthfully: "I am not a reincarnated person, but I traveled through time from a strange world."

"A strange world? Could that world be the one I've been to?"

"Yes and no. Compared to the world my aunt has been to, the strange world I live in is even more chaotic."
