Chapter 44: One day he will find a good partner and live a fulfilling life
The eldest brother was the best person to her here. On the first day, he took her home. Later, when she faced the unfamiliarity and doubts of the other brothers, he was the one who helped to mediate. He never said a harsh word to her and always defended her with a gentle voice. How could she watch her eldest brother go astray?
Su Wan was determined to help him avoid an unhappy marriage and find a good partner for him to live a fulfilling life.
"It's useful. I was thinking of buying it from you again in a few days!" A piece of goat milk soap had been forced into He Jiaolan's hand, and it was not easy for her to return it.
"When you're done, come to me and I'll give you a discount."
In return, Su Wan gave her a favor to take back and defeat the magic with magic.
After a few words, He Jiaolan left in disappointment.
As soon as she left, Su Wan's face darkened. How could her elder brother, such a bright and clear person, be delayed by these people with ulterior motives?
With her around, it's impossible in this life.
It was October now, and the incident happened before the Spring Examination. She remembered that this paragraph was written in the book on the eve of the New Year. The academy held a farewell party for Su Jing, and the dean invited him to dinner, under the pretext of hoping he would pass the exam. He gave him all kinds of sweet talk, and then got him drunk. The eldest brother, unable to hold his liquor, had something ambiguous with his daughter, and the next morning, he couldn't wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
With a God's perspective and a script in hand, she didn't believe they could succeed.
Su Yun and Su Yi went to fetch water. When they came back, they gave them the winter cabbage seedlings, saying that they were sent by He Jiaolan, and asked them to plant them quickly to prevent them from wilting and dying.
"The village chief is so kind. He always sends us vegetable seedlings. I don't know how to thank him!"
Su Yun looked extremely touched and thought that the village chief of their village was better than that of other villages.
Su Yi smiled without saying anything or making any comments.
"I already gave Sister Guerlain a bar of soap, but she refused to take it. If she sends me anything next time, just give her money. That way, you don't end up owing her too many favors, which will be hard to repay in the future!"
She said it lightly, but Su Yi agreed.
"Sister Wanwan is right. It's just a few cents. There's no need to owe anyone a favor!"
In fact, he had wanted to say this a long time ago, but his family was short of money before, and any money he had was either used to pay off debts or to make a living.
"He means well, why are you being so reserved?" Su Yun didn't understand.
Su Wan was too lazy to refute him. Fourth brother was simple-minded and only had some knowledge of cooking.
This is the difference in personality between the twins. He and the fifth brother are one quiet and one active, one talkative and the other silent. One is rebellious, full of rebellion and lacks brains, while the other is well-behaved but thoughtful.
Before the sun completely set, the brothers and sisters carried hoes and buckets of water and hurried to the fields to plant the winter cabbage seedlings.
When they came back, Su Chen had already returned home and chopped a load of firewood, but he didn't harvest any wild animals that day.
But according to what Su Wan told him in the morning, he picked some wild flowers for her.
There were yellow flowers, whose names I couldn't remember, and a bunch of wild lilies, which were very fragrant.
You can distill some of it to extract the floral essence, which will also leave a fragrance.
…
The next morning, at daybreak, the three brothers each carried a basket and went out to pick corn. There was so much corn that they had to peel it into grains by hand. There was nothing else to do in the countryside except farm work.
When Su Wan got up in the morning, he had to wash Jiang Yu's eyes with warm water. He groped his way out by holding the door. There was heavy dew and fog in the morning, and the yard outside was covered in white.
Seeing this, Su Wan hurried to support him. He was tall, and she was only as tall as his arm.
She poured some hot water for him and asked him to wash his hands with soap. Then Su Wan washed his eyes.
Just as Su Wan said, after washing your hands with this goat milk soap, your hands feel refreshed and smooth, with a faint smell of goat milk left behind.
Unexpectedly, there are many masters among the people. She has such clever ideas and skills at such a young age.
This is something that the ladies from noble families cannot compare to. Apart from being able to recite a few poems, they are useless and delicate.
After removing the cloth covering his eyes, the corners of his eyes and the area around his eyelids were still very red. Lime is burning and becomes hot when it comes into contact with water. I guess his eyes must have caused him a lot of pain.
"Try to open your eyes slowly. I'll wash the corners of your eyes with warm water."
Jiang Yu did as he was told. He sat while she stood. She took a piece of cloth, wet a corner of it, and then gently wiped the corners and eye sockets of his eyes.
A girl's strength is still gentler than a man's. Su Chen and the others felt a little awkward when washing his eyes, and they used more force.
But at this moment, her breath occasionally sprayed on his face, with a warm breath, which made him feel a little at a loss.
Instead, he himself became awkward.
Su Wan was completely unaware and completed the task dutifully. Then he wet the handkerchief, wrung it out, and folded it neatly to wipe his face.
"Okay, wipe your face!"
After taking the handkerchief, Jiang Yu thanked him. After he finished washing his face, Su Wan blindfolded him again.
"You won't have to hide anymore in two days. My second brother said you'll be able to see soon!"
"Okay, please!"
The words Jiang Yu said most often at the Su family were "thank you very much", "excuse me", "um", "ok" and so on.
He was really patient. He couldn't see, couldn't get out of bed often, and no one talked to him, but he still managed to get through it. If it were Su Wan, she would have gone crazy.
After finishing, she started to light a fire and made her own method of distilling floral water. She washed the petals and put them into the steamer, placed a container in the middle, and waited for the steam to flow in.
I have to buy dried flowers tomorrow, and it would be better if I could get fresh flowers.
After working for a whole morning, I only made half a bottle of flower extract, which is pitifully little.
…
Two days later, Jiang Yu was able to remove the blindfold, and Su Wan asked him to try to open his eyes and see.
The sunlight stung his eyes, making them feel dry and wanting to cry, but he could still vaguely see some blurry scenes, such as Su Wan standing in front of him wearing a light blue floral dress.
"Do you still want to cry?" Su Wan looked at him expectantly.
"Hmm, it's blurry!"
"Then don't open your eyes. There's plenty of light right now, and you might not be used to it. Wait until it gets dark, and then try to see things on your own. It shouldn't be a big problem."
Su Wan now looks at his handsome face every day. At first, her heart beat a little faster, but now she has gotten used to it after looking at it for a long time.
She thought that these eyes must be very beautiful when they looked at people normally.
He has standard peach blossom eyes, also called affectionate eyes, and his eyeballs are black, so they look even more beautiful and complement each other.
With red eyes and tears in them, he looks just like the bottom in BL novels, so pitiful.
