Shu Jiaying tried hard to recall with the help of her previous life's memories. She only remembered that her mother died when she was very young, and when did she start to become ugly?
Shaking her head, Shu Jiaying found that she had no memory of this. She only remembered that after her mother passed away, her stepmother often found reasons to beat and scold her, and also ordered her to do a lot of heavy housework every day.
Including her nominal brother, sister and younger brother, none of them did not bully her. Her father always watched coldly at everything she suffered.
Thinking of her hellish past life, Shu Jiaying didn't want to recall it anymore and habitually put the mask that had not yet dried on her head.
For a moment, she seemed to understand why her predecessor had kept the mask on even though it smelled bad.
Because... hiding behind the mask, the world immediately became a small space with only her. Although she was alone in this space, no one could bully or disturb her anymore.
To use the current Internet slang, we can say that she has become autistic!
That’s right, Shu Jiaying’s predecessor had lived for more than ten years, and although she had suffered countless hardships, she survived by relying on this small mask to isolate herself.
Thinking about it made her feel a little sad, so Shu Jiaying swore that she would never give these people the chance to bully her again.
Unable to remember the origin of the little red dot on her neck, Shu Jiaying decided to ignore it for the time being. Previously, when she was bathing by the river, she saw some Sophora flavescens growing nearby. She returned to the river and dug up a handful of Sophora flavescens by the roots. Then she hurried to the home of Village Chief Xu.
It was already noon when Shu Jiaying arrived at the home of Village Chief Xu. As soon as she entered the house, she saw Village Chief Xu holding a pot of freshly cooked white porridge and bringing it to the square table next to the main hall.
She immediately ran forward.
"Uncle Xu, are you going to give this porridge to Grandma Xu? I'll scoop it out for you and bring it over."
Shu Jiaying did not forget her duty.
Village Chief Xu simply smiled and said kindly, "Jiaying, you haven't eaten anything since last night, have you? Your uncle Xu's family doesn't have much good food, but there's still some white rice in the rice jar. This is the porridge I just cooked. You can have a bowl of it to fill your stomach before it gets cold!"
For people in the mountains, being able to eat white rice was already considered very good. Shu Jiaying didn't expect that Village Chief Xu would be so considerate of her, but she still said politely, "Thank you, Uncle Xu... But I haven't even started working at your house yet, how can I have the nerve to eat your food first?"
"You silly child, how can you have the energy to work if you don't eat?"
As he spoke, Village Chief Xu's eyes shifted to the 'weeds' in Shu Jiaying's hand. He asked in surprise, "Jiaying, what are you doing? Are you planning to fill your stomach with these weeds?"
Shu Jiaying immediately shook her head and laughed, "No, this is the Sophora flavescens I saw when I was washing clothes by the river. Didn't you say before that Grandma Xu sprained her ankle? I'll wash these Sophora flavescens clean later, and then I'll take the roots and dry them. You can use them to make wine later."
Wine soaked in Sophora flavescens has a good effect on bruises and bone injuries. I'll go check on Grandma Xu's injuries later. I..."
Seeing that Xu Lichang's eyes had turned from surprise to astonishment, Shu Jiaying immediately shut her mouth. Before she could blame herself for not being able to restrain herself, she heard Xu Lichang ask, "Jiaying girl, I remember that you couldn't read a single word before, but how come you understand all this medical knowledge now?"
