Although the two didn't say anything explicitly, Chi Qiao could tell from their reactions that it was a misunderstanding.
She chuckled softly and then said:
"Don't overthink it, my two younger siblings. I cut my hair not because I'm suicidal, nor because I want to do anything with Ah Ye's father."
Upon realizing it was a misunderstanding, Mrs. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked:
"Why did you suddenly decide to cut your hair, sister-in-law?"
Chi Qiao said nonchalantly, "They say that our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents, but I have long since lost all ties with the Zhou family."
So there's nothing to worry about when getting a haircut.
I'm doing this entirely for my own sake.
"Look at my ears. This time coming down the mountain, my ears and feet are covered in frostbite."
Upon hearing this, Lin and Zhang Yue instinctively looked down at their feet and hands.
Actually, they had more chilblains than Aye-niang.
But isn't this normal?
In Chijia'ao, how many women don't get frostbite?
This thing is difficult to cure once you get it.
They will grow again as soon as the weather gets cold.
Unless, of course, you can't stand the cold at all and have to stay in a warm room every day.
Chi Qiao, unaware of their thoughts, continued speaking:
"I want to cut my hair short and start wearing hats."
Otherwise, if your hair is too long, it will be troublesome to comb and wash it.
With our hairstyle, it's inconvenient to wear a hat.
And so my ears were always exposed.
On this day, even a drop of water freezes instantly.
As soon as you step outside, the cold wind is like a knife, stinging your face.
Whether it was going out or going back, the journey was truly agonizing.
I wish I could cover myself up completely, leaving only my eyes showing.
Now that I've cut my hair, I feel so much lighter, and it's also easier to wear hats.
Wearing the scarf and the mask that Xiaoyu made will make things much better.
Oh, and for the feet, I also made thick foot coverings.
That way, the journey back won't be so painful.
Both Lin and Zhang Yue had been used to getting frostbite since they were children.
The slight pain and itching were nothing to them.
Therefore, it was somewhat difficult for Tingchi Qiao to accept that she had cut her hair to keep her ears warm.
But being as intelligent as they were, they said nothing.
Ms. Lin even took the scissors and began to cut her hair.
Chi Qiao sat on the stool, letting Lin help her, and said to Zhang Yue, who was standing beside her watching:
“A-Ding’s mother, I still have some mung bean pastries I bought yesterday on the kang. You and A-Tian’s mother can have some to tide you over.”
"After I get my hair done, I'll go to the kitchen and cook some porridge and pancakes for you."
"good!"
Since they were all sisters-in-law from the same clan, Zhang Yue didn't stand on ceremony.
He immediately took the mung bean pastry from the kang (heated brick bed) as Chi Qiao had instructed.
He ate a piece for himself first, then took another piece with his hand and held it to Lin's mouth.
It has to be said that Lin is perhaps born to do this job. Chi Qiao’s hair, which looked like it had been chewed by a dog, gradually became stylish in Lin’s hands.
Although he can't compare to modern hairdressers like Tony, he's really quite good for this era.
Chi Qiao was very satisfied with her skills. After getting her hair cut, she felt much lighter all over.
Then, using the slightly blurry bronze mirror, he examined himself carefully again.
"Ah Tian's mother, your cooking is really good, thank you."
As he spoke, he took out five coins from his purse and then pulled out a piece of red paper from the corner.
Under the watchful eyes of Lin and Zhang Yue, she folded the red envelope and handed it over.
