Chapter 122 They Don’t Seem to Want to Become White
Shen Qianqian has become much prettier recently, and her overall energy and spirit have improved.
Zhou Anze has been listless lately. Ever since his scheme failed that day, he has been staying at the educated youth settlement.
Some of the older educated youth in the settlement left to work in machinery factories and textile factories because of the brigade leader's introduction, but he not only couldn't leave, but as long as the brigade leader remained dissatisfied with him, he would never be able to leave Dahe Village in his lifetime.
Zhou Anze was depressed for a few days, but he quickly cheered up.
No, he's never been the type to sit idly by and wait for his fate.
Who wants to stay in a place like this for the rest of their life!
Soon, Zhou Anze left the educated youth settlement with a hoe. If he worked hard enough and the brigade leader saw him, he might still have a chance to leave the village.
Zhou Anze worked diligently for several days in a row. He had always been lazy before, but now that he was working seriously in the fields, he was exhausted and his body ached all over.
Zhou Anze wanted to impress the brigade leader, but the brigade leader never gave him a friendly look.
Zhou Anze felt a little upset, but he really couldn't think of a better solution.
After his scheme failed that day, he went to see Widow Zhang, but even she couldn't help him. The village head had absolute authority in the village, and with a single sentence, he cut off all his options.
Zhou Anze couldn't understand how Jiang Ning could suddenly realize that his and Jin Yuyan's plan had failed, and that she had even outmaneuvered them.
Zhou Anze was puzzled but couldn't figure it out, and fortunately, the matter was covered up.
He wasn't disgraced in the whole village.
With nothing to do, Jiang Ning strolled over to the field where the Shen family was working.
But as soon as they arrived at the field, a figure darted up to Jiang Ning. Shen Qianqian covered her face and said pitifully, "Second sister-in-law, my face has suddenly broken out in a lot of pimples."
Jiang Ning looked over, pulled down her hand, and sure enough, her face was covered in red rashes.
Jiang Ning said calmly, "You're probably having an allergic reaction. I'll give you a different medicine to replace it. Another reason is that your face is detoxifying. Once the detoxification is complete, these pimples will disappear."
Shen Qianqian now believes Jiang Ning's words 200%.
Since my second sister-in-law said there's no problem, then there must be no problem!
Jiang Ning pulled Shen Qianqian to sit down on the edge of the field. "Come, sit here. I'll give you acupuncture to treat your facial allergies and help you detoxify your face."
Shen Qianqian obediently sat down, and when she saw Jiang Ning take out her silver needle pouch, she decisively closed her eyes.
She is most afraid of needles; she is not afraid as long as she cannot see them.
When Jiang Ning was giving Shen Qianqian acupuncture, some people passed by. Shen Qianqian had been in this village for several years, and everyone in the village knew her.
Everyone who saw Shen Qianqian was amazed by her transformation, saying her skin had improved and she no longer looked as lifeless as before.
Shen Qianqian proudly said that it was all thanks to her second sister-in-law.
Shen Qianqian's mood improved as soon as she heard someone praise her, and she even dared to open her eyes and chat with Jiang Ning.
She noticed that when her second sister-in-law received acupuncture, she only felt a slight tingling or numbness, without the pain she had imagined from being pricked by a needle.
Some villagers passing by saw that Shen Qianqian had become fairer and couldn't help but ask her how she did it. Shen Qianqian pointed to the needles in her face and said, "Look, it's all thanks to my second sister-in-law. Do you want to become fairer too? My second sister-in-law can give you needles, but she'll charge you."
Shen Qianqian didn't forget to promote Jiang Ning, but when those people saw Shen Qianqian's face covered with dense silver needles—
Hiss~
They don't seem to want to become whiter anymore.
In Dahe Village, Jiang Ning had no intention of selling her whitening cream and Sanbai cream.
Given the price, villagers who rely on farming for a living would not be willing to spend money.
After all, it would have taken a long time for rural areas to develop in the 1970s and 80s.
With fewer people passing by, Shen Qianqian couldn't help but chat with Jiang Ning about returning to the city, "Second Sister-in-law, when can we go back to the capital?"
Jiang Ning didn't stop what she was doing, and casually replied, "Don't rush, it'll be quick."
After learning that her family could finally return to the capital, Shen Qianqian counted down the days, hoping that day would come soon.
After Jiang Ning removed the needles from Shen Qianqian's face, the two left the paddy field and prepared to go home to cook.
As the two beautiful figures walked away, a figure emerged from behind a large rock.
—
afternoon.
Jiang Ning cooked some hot pumpkin soup at home and asked Shen Qianqian to deliver it to Shen's parents and older brother in the fields. In this kind of weather, they needed something hot to warm their stomachs.
Shen Qianqian walked quickly through the fields, carrying her basket, afraid that the pumpkin soup inside would get cold.
Just as she was crossing a paddy field ridge, a figure suddenly darted in front of her and blocked her way.
When Shen Qianqian saw the person blocking her way, her face immediately showed an expression as if she had stepped in poop.
Ever since she overheard Zhou Anze's scheme against her that day, she has become completely sober.
Shen Qianqian ignored him and didn't even want to say a word to him; she found him disgusting.
Without hesitation, she stepped aside to lean against Zhou Anze, "Qianqian, are you still blaming me for almost... with your sister-in-law on the mountain that day..."
Shen Qianqian interrupted him with an unpleasant expression, "Jin Yuyan is no longer my sister-in-law."
"Okay, okay, I was just being cheeky and talking nonsense." Zhou Anze slapped himself twice without hesitation. "Qianqian, Jin Yuyan and I really have nothing going on. You've been ignoring me lately and haven't come to the educated youth settlement to see me. Is it because you're still angry with me?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianqian felt a lump in her throat. Looking at Zhou Anze's apologetic face, she felt utterly disgusted.
How could this man scheme against her so viciously behind her back, only to turn around and smile at her all the time?
Have you studied face-changing?
Of course, Shen Qianqian wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal that she and her second sister-in-law had secretly overheard their scheme that day.
She wanted to leave, but Zhou Anze stopped her, and she couldn't help but say, "Zhou Anze, you're secretly seeing me while you're also flirting with those female educated youths and Widow Zhang. How can you be so shameless? Do you really think I don't know anything?"
Zhou Anze never expected that Shen Qianqian, this stupid and foolish woman, would actually know about his affair with the female educated youth and the widow Zhang.
Zhou Anze's mind raced as he considered countermeasures.
Shen Qianqian is a simple woman; a few sweet words are all it takes to coax her into doing whatever he says.
"Qianqian, I swear I was just playing along with them. It's all for our future." Zhou Anze said, reaching out to take Shen Qianqian's hand, but she dodged him.
Zhou Anze didn't feel embarrassed at all; he just felt that Shen Qianqian was jealous because he was flirting with other women.
He continued, "I associated with Widow Zhang because she was the commune's women's director. I thought that with her recommendation, I could return to the city. I originally planned to come to your house to propose marriage after I settled down in the city. Qianqian, I only love you."
In the past, Shen Qianqian would have been happy to hear such heartfelt words, but now she felt disgusted and nauseous.
Upon hearing these disgusting words, the words of Zhou Anze's scheming against her automatically came to mind.
