"What did you say? Who did you call a yellow-faced woman?"
"I'm talking about you. Do you have a mirror? If you don't have one, I suggest you look at your reflection in the water. You look pale and thin, with a shriveled body and wrinkles all over your face. If you stood next to your husband and you didn't say anything, I would have thought you were Brother Shu's mother, hahaha..."
Hearing such mocking voices, Xiao Qifeng defiantly straightened the corners of her clothes. She feebly argued, "How am I sallow and skinny? My skin isn't too bad. I wash my face with rice water every day. You say my face is full of wrinkles? How can I have so many wrinkles?"
"Hmph... You're just deceiving yourself by telling me all this. If you don't believe you're a yellow-faced woman, then go look in the water. I think the river is a huge magic mirror. This river can clearly reflect your appearance."
Listening to these sarcastic words, Xiao Qifeng grasped the corner of her clothes awkwardly. At this moment, she wished that Mrs. Ke could be by her side. If Mrs. Ke was there, how could Feng Qiaoer bully her so blatantly?
Moreover, Xiao Qifeng did not dare to look at herself in the reflection of the river, because she was afraid that she would see the appearance described by Feng Qiaoer, that is, a yellow-faced woman with a pale face, thin body and shriveled body.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Xiao Qifeng didn't dare argue with Feng Qiaoer anymore. She quietly sat at the stern of the boat.
Not long after, the ship docked in Fengyun Town. Feng Qiaoer and Xiao Qifeng walked into the town one after another. At the fork in the road, one of them walked towards the government office, and the other walked towards the epidemic area.
Fengyun Town was so familiar to Feng Qiaoer that she could not be more familiar. When she walked down this street in tattered clothes, everyone on the street called her a jinx, and some even brought out dirty water from their homes to throw at her. But she was poor before, so she always endured it.
Things are different now. Although Feng Qiaoer's life cannot be said to be rich, she is at least neatly dressed, and her brisk steps when walking on the street make people dare not offend her easily.
Although those who had bullied Feng Qiaoer had recognized her, they no longer dared to curse her as they did before. What's worse, some people even put on a smile and greeted her proactively.
"Oh...isn't this Qiao'er, the girl from the Feng family? Why are you back?"
Feng Qiao'er covered her mouth with her hands and smiled sweetly. She corrected herself, "Rob, my husband is the head of Guangming Village. You can call me the head's wife, or Madam Xu. It's okay for me to come back this time. I originally wanted to go to the government office to look for my husband, but I figured I couldn't help but come in when I passed by home, so I came back to see my old man."
When Feng Qiaoer's father heard from the neighbors that his daughter had found a good home and was now returning home in glory, he hurried out of the house.
Seeing that Feng Qiao'er's clothes were not particularly fancy, but she looked like she was living a prosperous life, Old Man Feng excitedly called out, "Qiao'er... you're finally back. I haven't heard from you in such a long time. I thought you were..."
"Okay, Dad, you said it's been a while since we last met, so don't start saying those unlucky words. Let's go home and talk about it first."
Pulling Old Man Feng back to the most shabby little house at the end of the street, Feng Qiaoer handed a purse to Old Man Feng.
