Xia Jingrong asked with a hint of sourness, "Did your sister Rujia only teach you guys?"
He only got some pills when he left, and didn't mention martial arts at all. No wonder she was so bold as to go looking for human traffickers alone and even rushed into their fight.
Yu Rujia had just arrived at that time, and she had a lot of things to do and her situation was unclear.
Xia Jingrong only stayed there for a few days. Yu Rujia was so busy that she didn't even have time to chat with Xia Jingrong. How could she dare to expose her secret to him like that?
It wasn't until they had been safely in the Shangfen Brigade for more than half a year and their safety was confirmed that they dared to take out the items for the Xia family to use.
Gao Guojing: "Sister Rujia asked me to copy a martial arts manual and bring it back to pass on to you."
Hearing this, Xia Jingrong felt a little less bitter and asked, "We can practice too?"
Gao Guojing: "Of course."
As he spoke, he took out the cultivation technique he had drawn from the backpack he had brought back earlier, and then analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two cultivation techniques with the others. He also emphasized that he and Gao Shujing were currently practicing the Taiyi Heart Sutra.
Xia Jingrong said without hesitation, "I'll practice the Taiyi Heart Sutra first." Regardless of whether it works or not, I'll practice first and see what happens. If it doesn't work, I can switch to another one later.
Few men were interested in the exercise method; what she wanted to know most was how Gao Guojing's face had become so fair and tender, full of collagen, in just over a month.
She had been Gao Guojing's biological mother for over a decade and never imagined that her youngest son would one day look so handsome.
No woman doesn't love beauty, and after confirming Gao Guojing's innocence, Gao Xiujuan asked about something she had always wanted to know.
Gao Xiujuan: "How did your skin become so good? How did you get rid of your acne scars?"
Anyone who has experienced acne scars knows how difficult they are to get rid of; many people have some acne scars on their faces to varying degrees.
Gao Guojing was a young man who was just starting to get acne. He was also a very carefree person. Unaware of the seriousness of acne scars, he often scratched his face and squeezed his pimples, which caused more and more acne scars to accumulate on his face. Before he went to Shangfen Brigade, he had a pockmarked face.
After going to the Shangfen Brigade, all the acne scars had disappeared when he came back. Gao Xiujuan wouldn't believe him if he said he didn't do anything.
Gao Guojing answered the previous questions readily, but he was reluctant to answer Gao Xiujuan's question.
Having been mother and son for over a decade, he knew Gao Xiujuan all too well. If she knew the benefits of mugwort soap, she definitely wouldn't keep a bar for herself.
He wanted to get more, but Yu Rujia said it was very difficult to do this. He begged for a long time before he got ten bars. He used them to shower, wash his hair and face, and a bar of soap would be used up in one or two months.
I'll be staying in Jiangcheng for the next six months, and I don't know how much I'll earn after that.
Based on his understanding of Ru Jia, she was definitely the type of person who would avoid violence if possible. Since Gao Xiujuan took the soap away, he was left without it. Who says boys don't care about their looks? He cared a lot.
Facing the stammering Gao Guojing, Gao Xiujuan glared at him and said, "Why don't you tell me the truth?"
The fierce-looking Gao Xiujuan made Gao Guojing shudder, and he blurted out the truth: "I washed myself with soap made by Sister Rujia using her sect's secret recipe."
Having received the answer, Gao Xiujuan didn't stop; instead, she pressed on: "How many bars of soap did you bring back?"
Gao Guojing dodged the question: "No, I didn't bring it back."
Anyone who isn't an idiot could see he wasn't telling the truth, let alone his own mother. Gao Xiujuan raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"
Gao Guojing, who had long been dominated by Gao Xiujuan, was so frightened that he almost collapsed onto Xia Jingrong.
Xia Jingrong helped Gao Guojing, who was trembling, and then reminded Gao Xiujuan, "Third Aunt, the things Guojing brought back are right there. Why don't you go and look through them?"
Xia Jingrong thought to himself, 'Serves you right for knowing so much about Ru Jia before I did.'
Gao Xiujuan suddenly realized, "That's right." After saying that, she quickly got up and walked towards Gao Guojing's room.
Gao Guojing screamed shrilly, "No!" If an uninformed person heard this scream, they would definitely think that he had suffered some kind of inhuman torture.
At least Xia Taishun and Xia Jingrong, who were still sitting in their seats, were frightened.
Having weathered many storms, Xia Taishun reacted, his face darkening as he said, "It's just a few bars of soap, what kind of nonsense is this? This is definitely due to insufficient practice. Tomorrow..."
Seeing that Gao Xiujuan had already entered his room, Gao Guojing could no longer care about his fear and Xia Taishun's nagging. He jumped up from the sofa and rushed into the room.
Gao Xiujuan looked around but didn't see anything resembling soap. She then rummaged through Gao Guojing's backpack, but it was empty.
Gao Guojing rushed in and stopped Gao Xiujuan, who was rummaging through the cabinet: "Mom, stop looking. I only brought back two pieces. I'll give you one of each."
Gao Guojing, who thought he knew his mother well, hid the soap while she was preparing dinner, but he didn't expect Gao Xiujuan to be so persistent and come in to search for it herself.
The mother and son argued over the soap, and Xia Jingrong took the opportunity to go inside and rummage through it, quickly finding the eight bars of soap that Gao Guojing had hidden.
Gao Guojing was furious, but he couldn't stop Gao Xiujuan, who was eyeing him covetously, and Xia Jingrong, who for some reason stood firmly on Gao Xiujuan's side. He could only watch helplessly as the two of them divided up the eight bars of soap.
Gao Guojing tried his best to play the victim: "Mom, please save two yuan for me. I'm your own son. If I look ugly, people will laugh at you."
Gao Xiujuan held a bar of soap to her nose. The faint fragrance seemed to wash away all the troubles in her heart, which was so captivating that she smelled it for half a minute before reluctantly moving the soap away.
Thinking to himself, the soap that could turn his pockmarked son into a handsome man was truly extraordinary.
Gao Xiujuan glared at Gao Guojing: "You've been ugly for so many years, but I've never seen anyone laugh at me."
Gao Guojing was dealt a painful blow by his own mother, but he still tried his best to persuade Gao Xiujuan: "But if people laugh at me, Mom will feel bad too, right?"
Gao Xiujuan: "You're an adult now, an independent individual. Mom understands, this little thing won't affect Mom."
When the gentle approach didn't work, Gao Guojing resorted to a more forceful one: "Mom, can you give me a few bars of soap? If you don't, I won't want to bring any soap with me next time I visit Sister Rujia. I won't be able to keep it anyway, so I might as well not bring it."
This tough approach really worked. Thinking that her son would still have to do hard labor in the future, Gao Xiujuan reluctantly took out one of her six bars of soap and handed it to him.
The trick worked, and Gao Guojing pressed his advantage: "Mom, give me three yuan."
