She kept her head down the whole time, so Liu Nian couldn't see her face clearly. When she walked up to Liu Nian, she gave him a shy smile and then quickly lowered her head again.
Liu Nian's heart skipped a beat. The girl had a large, crooked scar on her face, like a centipede, which was quite frightening.
Fearing she might frighten someone, she discreetly carried her things and quickly returned to the kitchen.
“That’s my daughter, are you scared?” The old woman’s face showed pain. “She’s disfigured, and no one will want her now that she’s old. That’s how her life has been ruined.”
The girl's name was Zhao Ping. Liu Nian would never forget the moment Zhao Ping looked up at him, her eyes filled with inferiority and timidity. But her eyes were beautiful, watery and bright.
It was heartbreaking, and Liu Nian really wanted to help her.
Upon returning to Jiangjuntun, Liu Nian immediately took out his phone.
Liu Nian remembers that the farm has royal jelly, which can beautify the skin, reduce blemishes and scars.
After adding royal jelly to regular face cream, Liu Nian once again rode his bicycle into the county town.
Liu Nian, panting, found the old woman and shoved a metal box into her hand. "This is for Sister Pingping. It can not only beautify her skin but also remove scars."
"Really?" The old woman looked at the object in her hand with disbelief and suspicion. "We tried all sorts of folk remedies, but nothing worked."
"We appreciate your kindness. Whether it works or not, we'll give it a try," the old woman said gratefully to Liu Nian. "Thank you so much."
"It's definitely useless." A voice full of anger came from behind.
Liu Nian looked up.
A girl, dressed in the most fashionable little dress, wearing high heels, with curly hair, walked down the stairs with an air of arrogance.
She walked straight towards Liu Nian, snatched the tin box containing the face cream from the old woman's hand, and threw it into Liu Nian's arms.
She turned around and glared at the old woman, "How can you be so forgetful? How many times have you been fooled? You believe everything anyone says. She's obviously a liar!"
"And you! How much are you planning to sell it for? Do you know you're breaking the law? Be careful, or I'll have you arrested!" The girl looked Liu Nian up and down, snorted, waved her hand, and said, "Get out of our house right now!"
"This is Zhang Lan," the old woman introduced awkwardly, "the daughter of Comrade Zhang."
Liu Nian put the metal box back into the old woman's hand and looked at Zhang Lan, saying, "It's free, and my stuff will definitely work."
“You—” Zhang Lan pointed at Liu Nian with her finger, “Where do you get your confidence? Back then, we took Pingping to many big hospitals to treat her face, but none of them could help. What can you do?”
"It's all about scamming money!" Zhang Lan glared at Liu Nian, pulled the old woman aside, and warned, "Don't associate with people like that, or you'll get scammed without even knowing it!"
It seems this person isn't a bad person; he's just worried about the old lady. Liu Nian didn't say anything, just smiled faintly, and turned to leave.
"Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it. I don't want any money." Liu Nian turned around and raised an eyebrow at Zhang Lan. "But with you, I'll have to pay, and it'll be very expensive."
Zhang Lan rolled her eyes. "I'm not going to buy face cream from you! Do you think I'm stupid enough to wait to be scammed?"
Liu Nian wasn't angry; she was very pressed for time.
As she was leaving, she checked her phone, which said there would be a heavy rainstorm that night, and Liu Nian needed to hurry to her assigned fields in Jiangjuntun.
Su Xu was in charge of distributing fertilizer, and once all the fertilizer was distributed, it was time to fertilize the crops.
If a heavy rainstorm comes at this time, it will wash away the fertilizer that was just applied, making all the work wasted and the money spent on fertilizer go down the drain.
When Liu Nian arrived at his assigned field, Su Xu and the others were preparing to fertilize it.
Liu Nian hurriedly abandoned her car and ran over to stop them, shouting, "Wait!"
"Don't worry, rest for a bit." Su Xu helped Liu Nian up, supporting her with one hand, and looked at the beads of sweat on her forehead with concern, asking, "What happened?"
He couldn't help but worry.
But the people around him were already cheering, "Wow, our captain really dotes on his wife!"
"Is our captain a henpecked husband?"
Liu Nian took a breath and said, "Don't spread the fertilizer yet, there's going to be a heavy rainstorm tonight."
"What?"
People looked up at the sky.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Look at the sky, not a cloud in the sky, it doesn't look like it's going to rain at all!" someone said irritably. "You woman, don't cause trouble here, we still have work to do!"
"That's right, we can't afford to fall behind the other teams! We can't afford to lose face if we fall behind!"
Each team was competing with each other to see who could work the fastest and best. At this point, someone tried to stop them from working. What could they do?
Besides, what's a woman doing giving orders? She should just get back on the bed and wait to serve the men! She's just making things worse!
