"The meeting will be tomorrow morning. I will bring Xu Xiangdong and his mother to your house tomorrow morning to meet him."

"When the time comes, you should clean up your house first, and then clean yourself up..."

Aunt Sun looked at Wen Yulan's whole body, then at the clothes she was wearing, and finally at her face.

The expression was a little indescribable, but also full of sympathy.

Perhaps, this is the life of an orphan without parents.

"You should clean yourself up, put on nicer clothes, wash your face, and comb your hair to leave a good impression on others, okay?" Aunt Sun advised kindly and patiently, just like her elder.

Wen Yulan's heart warmed slightly and she nodded: "I know."

"Well, it's good that you know. It's settled then. I have something else to do, so I'll go back first."

After talking to Wen Yulan, Aunt Sun left without any further delay.

As soon as Aunt Sun left, Aunt Wen could no longer hold back her anger, or rather, she could no longer hold back her anger.

"What's going on with the Xu family? Is Xu Xiangdong blind? He actually fell in love with her and wanted to go on a blind date with her. He must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."

"Isn't Xu Xiangdong afraid of being killed? He doesn't even want his life."

"How can my Huihui be inferior to Wen Yulan?"

“…”

Second Aunt Wen was cursing, but Wen Yulan was full of worries. She didn't want to talk to her much, let alone listen to her words.

So he turned around and went back home, closed the yard door, and completely ignored the mother and daughter.

Being ignored, Second Aunt Wen almost choked up.

"This damn girl, Huihui, is she too proud? Does she think that if the Xu family is interested in her, she can marry Xu Xiangdong? She doesn't even take a piss and look at herself. She's so ugly, which man would like her? Isn't that man afraid of getting up in the middle of the night and seeing this face and being scared and killed?"

"Huihui, what's wrong with Xu Xiangdong? Why does he want to meet that damn girl?"

Wen Huihui frowned, she didn't understand, could it be that Xu Xiangdong fell in love with Wen Yulan because he had seen her true appearance? She couldn't guess, but no matter what, she couldn't let Wen Yulan marry Xu Xiangdong.

Xu Xiangdong can only be hers.

She wanted to marry Xu Xiangdong, move to the city, work as a worker with a stable job, and live a better life.

"Mom, don't worry about whether she wants to meet Xu Xiangdong or not. Anyway, you can just go and arrange the matter for that family. Of course, the sooner the better. It would be best if she gets married before the matter between my cousin and Xu Xiangdong comes to a conclusion."

"Mom, that's three hundred yuan for the bride price. My cousin's parents are gone, and you, the elder, are the one who should decide her marriage. You and dad are the only ones who can decide for her, and it's for her own good. Even if we tell others about this, no one will have any objection."

"Besides, the betrothal gift should have been given to my parents. Since my cousin's parents are not here, it is reasonable to give it to you."

"These three hundred yuan may allow me to buy a job as a worker in the city. Then I will become a city dweller. Maybe I can marry a city girl and bring you and dad to live in the city."

The future that Wen Huihui planned for Aunt Wen made her yearn for it.

After all, the person she cares about most, besides her only son, is herself.

"You have a point. Okay, I'll make the arrangements now."

After saying that, Aunt Wen couldn't wait to leave.

Wen Huihui looked at Wen Yulan's house in front of her, her eyes were heavy, and after a hint of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes, she turned and left.

On this side, Wen Yulan had no idea about the plots that Second Aunt Wen and her daughter were making against her.

At this moment, she was sitting in front of the table, on the chair, stunned for a long time.

It took me a long time to realize that I had been in a trance for a long time.

Why? Could it be that Xu Xiangdong liked her? Wen Yulan shook her head. Although she hoped so, she felt it was unlikely.

She and Xu Xiangdong didn't meet very often, and sometimes she wondered whether Xu Xiangdong knew about her, Wen Yulan.

Even if I see her, I won't be able to match her with anyone.

Besides, her face...

Wen Yulan touched her face and hesitated for a moment. Then she stood up, fetched a basin of water, and wiped the marks on her face bit by bit.

The dark gray on her face was wiped off, revealing her fair and firm skin. Her hair was tucked behind her ears, revealing her small face with delicate and small features.

This face, reflected in the water, is so beautiful that it can shame the moon and flowers.

No matter who sees it, they will say that this face is many times more beautiful than those female educated youth from the city.

Wen Yulan knows that she is beautiful.

She had known it since she was a little girl.

From the look in the eyes of a fifty-year-old widower in the village at that time, she was smart enough to realize that she should not reveal her true appearance.

It is a terrible thing for an orphan girl who has no relatives to rely on and no background to have a beautiful face.

This beautiful face may not only fail to bring her a better life, but instead drag her into a terrible abyss.

She knows it.

Especially she had heard of one thing at that time.

There was a female educated youth who was really beautiful and young. As soon as she arrived, almost all the young men in the village fell in love with her. Countless people were also pursuing her and wanted to date her.

The same goes for the son of a high-ranking village official.

But the female educated youth only wanted to build a new countryside and return to the city in the future, so she rejected everyone's pursuit.

But the son of a high-ranking village official was determined to win her over, and when all his threats and inducements failed, he simply broke off relations with her.

Later, I heard that the female educated youth had died.

He died in the mountains in a tragic way. I heard that he was naked and his body was covered with wounds, not a single part of which was visible.

The body just stayed in the mountains, no one came to collect it, and then it disappeared.

I don’t know if it was taken away by a jackal.

Later, people from their village reported that the female educated youth had gone into the mountains and disappeared.

Even when the female educated youth's family came later, the result was still the same.

Later, I heard that the son of that family married another beautiful female educated youth, but I didn’t know whether the female educated youth was willing to marry him.

It's not clear.

It was also from that time that Wen Yulan understood.

Without a background and reliable relatives, a beautiful face can sometimes bring disaster or even death.

So, from then on, she deliberately made herself look ugly.

Only when she is alone at home will she reveal her true colors.
