Xu Nuo’s aunt in Shanghai was her go-to shield. She nodded, “Yes, they were all bought by my aunt.”
Lu Xueyun listened intently, and upon hearing this, she felt both envious and indignant. She had grown up in Shanghai, so why hadn't she been able to buy something so useful?
Lu Xueyun dug out the bottle that Wang Ting had bought and put it into another jar, leaving only a little bit, and gave it to Wang Ting along with the bottle.
Although Lu Xueyun disliked the Xu sisters, she had to admit that the moisturizing oil was really effective; her face, ravaged by the rural sun and wind, had visibly improved a lot.
This made her both happy and angry.
She immediately wrote a letter back to Shanghai, describing the wonders and effects of this moisturizing oil and asking her family to inquire about it. Unfortunately, the Lu family did not take her letter seriously at all.
Mr. Lu frowned and cursed, "I'm so busy with work, and I'm still asking her about some damn moisturizing oil. I'm really not making any progress."
The Lu family didn't take it seriously and didn't respond for a long time.
Now that Lu Xueyun has heard Xu Nuo talk about this again, she feels a strong urge to do the same.
She nudged Wang Ting, who was listening intently, and gestured for her to leave.
Wang Ting always followed Lu Xueyun's lead, so she immediately got out of bed and followed her out.
"Xueyun, what's wrong?" Wang Ting hadn't washed her hair today, and her bangs were greasy and hanging over her forehead, which annoyed Lu Xueyun.
"Later, ask Xu Nuo if she can help buy that shower gel, and also ask which store her aunt bought it from in Shanghai."
"You want to buy it?" Wang Ting's eyes lit up. If Lu Xueyun asked for money to buy it, then she would definitely get a share.
Her greed was too blatant, which annoyed Lu Xueyun even more. She turned her sullen face and said, "Be smart. If you find out the answer, I'll share it with you. Otherwise, forget it."
The two returned to the educated youth dormitory, where everyone was still chatting enthusiastically around Xu Yan's bunk.
"When you go to do farm work, you must wear a straw hat and long sleeves. Otherwise, long-term exposure to the sun will cause great damage to your skin. Getting tanned is secondary; it will lead to wrinkles, sagging, and various age spots."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"No wonder I've had freckles on my face for the past few years, and I just can't get rid of them."
Liu Xiaomei said excitedly, "I also have a lot of freckles, but I used the moisturizing oil that Comrade Xu Nuo helped me buy, and now they've faded a lot."
When Liu Xiaomei said that, everyone was incredibly envious and turned to look at Xu Nuo.
Today, she wore a pale yellow lotus leaf dress and sat in this simple dormitory for educated youth, looking like a fairy who had wandered into the wrong house.
Seeing that the group was praising Xu Nuo as if she were a fairy, Lu Xueyun sneered inwardly.
She looks so flamboyant, her conduct must be questionable. She's laughing so smugly now, but she'll definitely suffer when she gets caught.
Lu Xueyun was lost in her own imagination, and the image of Xu Nuo's miserable state appeared in her mind, which made her feel much better.
Wang Ting's somewhat obsequious voice rang out: "Comrade Xu Nuo, can I buy your shower gel?"
Xu Nuo was teaching them some skincare methods when she heard this, so she stopped and looked at Wang Ting.
Her gaze lingered on Wang Ting's sticky hair for a moment, and she remembered the person. She said indifferently, "My aunt hasn't been to Lu County recently, so she can't buy any."
Wang Ting then asked, "Where did your aunt buy it? I also have relatives in Shanghai, and I asked them to buy it for me."
Li Hong glanced at Wang Ting, somewhat speechless. This Wang Ting just liked to act all high and mighty. Every night she would bring an empty bottle and pretend to be something she didn't know. Who wouldn't guess that Lu Xueyun bought it?
You can tell just by looking at Wang Ting and Lu Xueyun's skin.
Wang Ting's skin was still sallow and rough, while Lu Xueyun's skin had visibly become fairer.
Xu Nuo didn't have a good impression of Wang Ting and didn't bother to waste her breath: "I don't know."
To everyone's surprise, Wang Ting persisted: "How can I not know? What's your aunt's friend's name? Where does she live? You can at least tell me these things."
Li Hong couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but speak up: "Hey, Wang Ting, why would they tell you? If you want to know, why don't you ask them yourself? Ask Lu Xueyun, she's from Shanghai, she might know."
Lu Xueyun watched coldly from the sidelines, but was caught off guard by being called out. She was stunned for a moment and thought it would be too embarrassing to say that she had never heard of it. Anyway, she had already asked her family to inquire, and she would probably have news soon.
Thinking about it, she said firmly, "I remember now, there used to be such a company in Shanghai, but I heard it wasn't very good, so I stopped paying attention. I always use imported products, which are safer to use."
The attempt to smear her reputation was both low-class and obvious. Xu Nuo glanced at Lu Xueyun with amusement and said strangely, "When Comrade Lu passed by just now, I smelled the scent of body oil. I thought she and Wang Ting were so close that they used the same bottle of body oil."
Everyone burst out laughing, knowing better but saying nothing.
Everyone lives in the same house, so it's not easy for anyone to keep a secret. I guess only Lu Xueyun is kept in the dark, thinking that no one else has noticed.
Liu Xiaomei said loudly, "I don't know what others are saying, but I think it works great for me. I think it's definitely better than any imported product."
Lu Xueyun, unable to handle so many mouths, frowned and grabbed an iron basin to wash up, shouting, "Wang Ting, boil some water for me, I need to take a bath, it stinks!"
She directed all her sarcastic remarks at herself, chatting animatedly on the other end of the line, and nobody paid any attention to her.
Only Wang Ting followed behind her, helping her carry water to boil, while comforting her, "Xueyun, don't be angry."
With no one in the kitchen, Lu Xueyun angrily blurted out, "Hmph, what's she so smug about? Dressing up all day long, isn't she just trying to seduce men?"
Wang Ting nodded: "Yes, a woman like her has a bad reputation."
Lu Xueyun suddenly turned to look at her, excitedly asking, "You think so too?"
Wang Ting was taken aback. She had just said it casually, but seeing Lu Xueyun's reaction, she immediately nodded: "Of course, who would dress like that every day? And use such fragrant shower gel, what else could it be but trying to seduce men?"
"Do you know, Wang Ting? Xu Nuo came to Lu County to seduce Luo Chen. It's true, I saw it with my own eyes. The first time she came, she was arguing with Xu Yan because of Luo Chen."
The Xu Nuo that Lu Xueyun mentioned is the original owner of this body. When she first came to Luxian Village, she almost got into a fight with Xu Yan in the commune canteen because she was making soup for Luo Chen.
At that time, Lu Xueyun was gloating and watching the show from the sidelines. But the second time they met, the two sisters became as close as ever.
Thinking about it carefully, Xu Nuo doesn't seem as arrogant and domineering as she was the first time, and she's become much prettier.
When they first met, Lu Xueyun just thought she was pretty. After all, she had an older sister who was outstanding in both appearance and character. Growing up surrounded by such an older sister, she had developed a very discerning eye for women.
But when they met a second time, Xu Nuo seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.
At that moment, Lu Xueyun thought of her older sister, Lu Xueshuang.
The privileged Lu Xueshuang, standing next to this country woman, seemed...
Pooh!
How can a country woman compare to her sister?
Lu Xueyun snapped out of her daze and stomped her foot angrily.
