In his past life, Fan Xiaofan learned a saying: Makeup remover is a mirror that reveals true nature.
Cosmetics from this era are nothing like those from her time; they're not waterproof at all. She splashed a cup of water on Jiang Yi's face, and Jiang Yi's face instantly turned into a mud wall covered in rainwater, displaying a variety of colors.
At this moment, Jiang Yi no longer cared about pretending to be weak; she screamed as if the sound could reach the train engine.
"Lady, we believe in going out without makeup these days. It's one thing for you to wear makeup, but to deliberately make your face look as white as a dead person is deceiving the feelings of us comrades."
Fan Xiaofan, hands on his hips, began to lecture him righteously.
She had just noticed the color difference between Jiang Yi's face and neck, which shows that you have to pay attention to the overall look when doing your makeup, or you'll get caught red-handed.
She grabbed Jiang Yi's hand that was about to slap her, and said with a smile, "Oh, there's something else I forgot to mention. If you're going to pretend to be weak, at least make it convincing. With your rosy complexion, you could probably take on ten oxen without any problem, right?"
Nowadays, due to the problem of hunger, Fan Xiaofan has seen many truly weak people, like Jiang Yi. Don't be fooled by her pale face, which may look intimidating, but in reality, she may have fair skin and a rosy complexion because she doesn't lack food or clothing.
In an instant, the man who had just been thinking of helping Jiang Yi's face darkened: "What's wrong with you, young lady? I really thought you weren't feeling well..."
Jiang Cheng glared at Fan Xiaofan with a grim expression.
The people around them glared angrily at the brother and sister, especially after seeing Jiang Yi get so angry that she tried to hit Fan Xiaofan. If the girl hadn't reacted quickly, she would have gotten slapped for nothing.
Jiang Cheng knew that staying would only bring him humiliation, so he had no choice but to drag Jiang Yi away with a gloomy expression.
After they left, Fan Xiaofan and Fu Weidong sat down. She gave Fu Weidong an apple to eat, and the middle-aged man opposite them said apologetically, "I really thought she wasn't feeling well just now."
Fu Weidong, who was munching on an apple, looked up at the middle-aged man earnestly: "My sister's health isn't good at all. She's been taking medicine like it's food since she was little..."
Fan Xiaofan didn't hide anything from Fu Weidong about the Fan family, after all, once they returned to Beidu, the child wouldn't be completely unaware of everything.
It was because Fairy Sister was in poor health that her parents sent her to Zhoujia Village in Shuncheng, and that's how she came to Qingcheng and met me.
He still kept a secret notebook in his mind, recording how the Zhou family had abandoned his sister because they disliked her poor health...
The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise.
Fan Xiaofan, somewhat embarrassed, said, "That was all in the past..."
However, her attitude won the admiring glances of the other passengers in the sleeper berth. Compared to Jiang Yi's affected manner earlier, Fan Xiaofan's nonchalant demeanor now showed a stronger sense of resilience that was valued in this era.
"Why are you so young and already carrying a child? Is it your younger brother?"
Fan Xiaofan looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, so no one would naturally assume that the five-year-old boy Fu Weidong was her son.
She smiled and nodded: "It's my younger brother."
"Why are you with your younger brother? Where are your parents?"
Someone asked curiously.
Fan Xiaofan sighed, looking troubled. Everyone couldn't help but imagine that the siblings' parents had passed away, and remarked with emotion, "You weren't also a sent-down youth, were you? Taking care of such a small child must be really tough..."
