Chapter 41 Transformation
After three hours of acupuncture, Ye Rou's clothes were soaked with sweat. When she opened the door, she saw a group of people standing outside. Because she was too tired, she did not notice the strange expressions on their faces.
"Boil some water, Zhou Nian needs to take a bath."
Ye Rou said and closed the door again.
The group of people were stunned.
Zhou Liang was the first to react and pulled his stunned brother to boil water.
Wei Jie thought back to the startled glimpse she had just taken. Was that Ye Rou? The dark-skinned girl, Ye Rou? How did she become so beautiful?
Could it be that she really has a way to make Zhou Nian beautiful?
On second thought, she rejected the idea. Unless a great immortal came, no one could turn a black pig into a white sheep.
Aunt Zhou was extremely anxious because she couldn't hear her daughter's voice.
But when she saw Ye Rou, she calmed down. Her eyes swept over the red fingerprints on Jiang Chen's face. She was filled with guilt. Her throat was dry and seemed to be stuck together. She opened her mouth several times but no sound came out.
The Zhou family had a wooden barrel specially used for bathing. It was no problem for one person to squat in it. Zhou Ping and Zhou Liang boiled water, and each of them carried one side to lift out the large wooden barrel full of water.
The wooden barrel was placed at the door, and Jiang Chen knocked on it.
Ye Rou pushed the door open and the two brothers Zhou Liang and Zhou Ping pretended to carry the wooden barrel in.
"No need." Ye Rou pulled the handles on both sides and picked up the wooden barrel that required two adult men to lift under the stunned gaze of the Zhou brothers.
The wooden door closed tightly again.
Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment, then he exclaimed sincerely, "Brother Jiang, my sister-in-law is amazing."
Jiang Chen curled his lips and smiled. Of course the little monster was very strong.
Ye Rou carried the wooden barrel into the house. There was a thick quilt covering the kang. She lifted the quilt and saw Zhou Nian sleeping soundly inside.
"Zhou Nian, wake up."
Zhou Nian hadn't slept so comfortably in a long time. In the past, she always felt heavy when she slept, and the slightest sound of the wind and grass would wake her up.
She was still a little confused when Ye Rou woke her up.
Ye Rou asked her to take a bath. Every time she said something, Zhou Nian moved.
Surrounded by hot water, Zhou Nian sighed comfortably and finally woke up completely.
He raised his hand and touched his body, and found black wrinkles on his hand. "Hey, I'm so dirty."
Her face was red and hot as she scrubbed her body carefully.
Ye Rou turned her back to Zhou Nian and looked at the sewing machine.
Aunt Zhou dotes on her daughter. While other families have their future sons-in-law come to buy sewing machines for their daughters, she bought a sewing machine for her daughter in advance.
Wei Jie was troubled by this matter at home for a long time.
Zhou Nian stood up and said that the sewing machine was in her room, but anyone could use it and she would not take it with her when she got married.
Wei Jie finally calmed down.
The sewing machine looks like a large black hair dryer with a silver wheel at the back that releases the thread. The machine body is attached to a brown-red table, under which are pedals and a larger wheel.
Ye Rou's attention was completely drawn to the sewing machine, so much so that she didn't even notice Zhou Nian taking a shower and getting dressed.
"I'm fine."
Ye Rou glanced back at Zhou Nian and smiled, "My first time doing acupuncture, the results are pretty good."
——
Outside the door, it was eerily quiet.
Zhou Liang felt the fucking embarrassment in this silent atmosphere.
He wanted to break the awkwardness, but he racked his brains but couldn't think of anything to say.
The wooden door creaked and Zhou Liang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, sister-in-law, you finally came out.
He looked up at the door and was stunned when he saw the first person coming out.
Aunt Zhou rushed forward, "Nian Nian!"
"Mom." Zhou Nian's eyes were filled with tears.
Aunt Zhou looked her daughter up and down. The purple spots on her face had faded, and her puffiness had subsided a little. She smiled and then cried, "This is good. It looks really good."
Ye Rou said that Zhou Nian was afraid of gaining weight because her skin was swollen due to kidney disease. The first acupuncture treatment was to regulate her kidneys, and she would gradually lose weight without having to deliberately lose weight.
After taking a shower, Zhou Nian looked in the mirror and couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was her.
Now seeing her mother's surprised look, she felt that the pain she had endured was worth it.
Because it was so painful, she didn't want to die anymore.
To be more precise, it’s not that I don’t want to, but that I don’t dare.
When Wei Jie saw that Zhou Nian had become more beautiful, she felt as if she had drunk a bucket of vinegar, and felt sour from head to toe.
She rolled her eyes and advised, "Auntie, you're finally out. Your family has been worried sick about you these past few days. Don't be so willful next time. It would be so embarrassing if a grown-up girl gets so angry about something she said to you. "
Zhou Nian's eyes dimmed instantly.
It wasn't because of that sentence, that wasn't the reason she cared about.
She glanced at her brother Zhou Ping and saw that he was frowning and looking at her with disapproval and dissatisfaction.
Am I really wrong?
I was too sensitive. When she scolded me, the whole family suffered with her.
A cold and gentle voice suddenly sounded: "You are not wrong."
Zhou Nian turned around abruptly. Ye Rou packed up her needle bag and walked out of the room carrying a cloth bag. She looked at Zhou Nian and said seriously, "Everyone will feel sad when they are scolded. This is normal. It's not your fault."
Ye Rou's eyes were clear and gentle, like water washing away Zhou Nian's shame and sadness. Her eyes became firm: "Yes, I am not wrong."
She often used this trick on Zhou Nian, and it was very effective. It was visibly that under her verbal belittlement and blame, Zhou Nian became more and more honest and quiet. Now this trick didn't work anymore, it was all because of Ye Rou's meddling.
Feeling resentful, Wei Jie forced a smile and said, "I didn't mean anything else. Ye Rou, you misunderstood."
Ye Rou's smile suddenly disappeared, and she glared at her with wide eyes, "You're the only one with a big mouth."
"You!" Wei Jie glared at Ye Rou angrily.
"Who are you glaring at?" Jiang Chen's voice was soft, but every word was chilling to the bone.
Wei Jie hastily averted her gaze, blinked, and under Zhou Ping's suspicious gaze, she shrank her shoulders and said innocently, "I didn't."
Zhou Ping was deceived by Wei Jie's appearance and stood in front of her: "Jiang Chen, let's not get involved in women's affairs."
Jiang Chen walked out from the shadows and approached Wei Jie slowly.
Wei Jie's palms were sweating and her hands were shaking violently.
"Jiang Chen, what's wrong with your face?"
He walked out from the shadows, and Ye Rou noticed that the right side of Jiang Chen's face was swollen and had distinct fingerprints on it.
Jiang Chen paused and forgot about it.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ye Rou turned her gaze to Zhou Liang, who was standing to the side with a slightly guilty look on his face, and said, "Go ahead."
Zhou Liang felt his spine go cold when Ye Rou looked at him. This feeling only appeared when Brother Jiang went crazy. Ye Rou only gave him a look, and Zhou Liang wanted to kneel down to her.
"I hit her." Aunt Zhou released her daughter from her arms. It was she who asked Ye Rou to come and treat her daughter. Faced with Ye Rou's request, she agreed firmly. However, when it came to the actual treatment, she changed her mind and tried to force her way in.
If Jiang Chen had not stopped her and really prevented Ye Rou from treating her daughter, her daughter would have been ruined by her love.
Aunt Zhou walked up to Jiang Chen and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
She said this and slapped herself violently.
Ye Rou was startled by Aunt Zhou's actions.
Jiang Chen didn't take the slap seriously at all. In his previous life and this life, he had almost starved to death several times, and it was Aunt Zhou who gave him food that kept him alive.
Seeing Ye Rou getting angry, he even felt that the slap was well deserved.
Seeing Aunt Zhou's face flushed instantly, he said, "Aunt, this matter is over."
Seeing his mother apologize, Zhou Liang also stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't stop my mother."
Ye Rou was afraid that Zhou Liang would slap her as well, so she took a step back.
Zhou Nian understood and apologized as well.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't pursue the matter, Ye Rou didn't say anything. She said to Zhou Nian, "You need to have acupuncture three times in the next half month. When you are ready, come to the clinic to see me."
When Zhou Nian thought of acupuncture, he felt a pain like his skin being peeled off and shuddered.
Ye Rou added, "Smash the thing under your pillow."
Zhou Nian thought of the sharp mirror, pursed her lips and nodded.
Others couldn't understand the riddle the two people were talking about.
