Fortunately

Fortunately, the arrival of this rain made many people glad that they followed Gulan, otherwise they would have been soaked in their sleep. The weather was already cold at night, and we all wrapped ourselves in quilts when we slept. If we were drenched by rain, we would suffer heavy losses and would not be able to set off for a few days. The most important thing is that they are prone to getting sick, and for those who are fleeing famine, getting sick is the most luxurious thing.

Of course, there were some families that didn't have oilcloth, but most of them were more careful because of the previous commotion, and they covered their sleeping quilts with raincoats or waterproof things that could keep out the rain. In addition, they all slept under trees, which finally reduced the speed at which they got soaked by the rain. Actually the rain was not heavy, but it lasted for quite a long time, and it kept falling all night without stopping. When the sky turned pale in the early morning, the rain still continued, interrupting Gulan and her companions' journey.

Gulan woke up early due to her biological clock, but she didn't move when she heard the sound of the rain outside. She couldn't travel any longer if the rain didn't stop, so she just curled up in the bed with her son in her arms. A smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth. Although she didn't have a mobile phone, the experience she had accumulated over the years was indeed accurate. It was really raining.

She closed her eyes again and did not open them again until dawn to get dressed. Without disturbing her son, she stood up, covered her head with her hands, and quickly got into the carriage. As soon as she entered, Gulan saw Xiang Yunjin already dressed and sitting in the carriage. Gulan, who originally wanted to take the grain to cook, looked at the large pile of food on the carriage, paused and picked up the package.

"Since you're up, let me help you put on makeup first." Without caring whether Yunjin agreed or not, she began to rummage through the package, finding the cosmetics she needed and placing them one by one.

Xiang Yunjin touched his cheek, which had been ventilated all night, and waited patiently. His face would only return to normal before going to bed. Fortunately, his face was still as smooth as before. As Gulan said, these camouflage products did not cause any damage to the skin.

Gulan was holding the things and getting ready to start working, but when she looked at this perfect face, she was still dazzled as always, thinking that it was like this every day and she should be used to it.

She sighed, and then started to apply paint. After a while, an ugly birthmark appeared on Xiang Yunjin's cheek, along with some uneven and bulging bumps. Even Gulan, who created the birthmark, couldn't help but grin when she saw it. Then she smeared the eyes again, and the beautiful peach blossom eyes instantly turned into triangular slanted eyes, which set off the birthmark on the face, making the whole person look ugly and gloomy.

He was three points uglier than before. Fortunately, Xiang Yunjin usually stayed around the carriage and never took the initiative to contact people around. Even if he met them, he would keep his head down most of the time. So even if it becomes uglier, no one will notice. Looking at her masterpiece, Gulan nodded with satisfaction. She finally didn't have to worry about being tempted and was safe.

"Okay." Gulan, in a good mood, quickly put things back in place.

As he heard these two words, Xiang Yunjin touched his eyes. His premonition was right. He had become even uglier. He could clearly feel that there was a piece of glue stuck to my eye. Although it didn't affect his vision, he was still not used to it. Xiang Yunjin lowered his eyes and smiled.

He (Gulan) is really a person who will not suffer any loss. If my guess is correct, Gulan is dealing with him. It's his fault for cheating before. Just bear with it, it will pass if you just bear with it. Besides, no one would be able to recognize him like this.

"Thank you," he said with a smile, but this face was really hard to describe, and it looked even uglier when he smiled.

Gulan took a look and almost blinded herself, and said "You're welcome".

She seemed a little regretful. She forgot that being too ugly would also affect her vision. Not wanting to see this face again, Gulan quickly packed up the food needed for breakfast and got off the carriage without even looking at Yunjin.

Xiang Yunjin: "..."

Why does it seem like people are getting off the cart much faster than before?

After putting the food into the tent, Gulan went to check on the horses with concern. Thanks to her foresight, the horses were in good condition. They were just a little wet from the rain, but most of them were still dry. Several horses huddled together and lay in a relatively dry place. Seeing this, Gulan felt relieved. When she returned to the tent again, Xiang Yunjin also entered the tent with an ugly face. The eldest and second oldest girls have already gotten up, only the youngest, AnAn, is still sleeping soundly.

.....

Xiaohe Village.

Su Qiaoxiu has been having a hard time these days. Apart from being able to move around in the yard, she were not even allowed to get close to the gate. Except for the younger brother who was studying in the academy, her two older brothers at home had not treated her well for many days.

On the afternoon of the second day after she came back, the eldest sister-in-law went to the town to get the embroidery products on the orders of her mother, and forced her to embroider in the room. Although she treated her as usual with a smile on her face, her words were full of advice, asking her to be submissive and appease her parents. But Su Qiaoxiu felt that the way her sister-in-law looked at her was a little different.

The second sister-in-law did not even bother to hide her sarcastic tone. She said that she was ignorant in both explicit and implicit ways, and asked her indirectly whether she had done anything wrong or whether she had ruined the family tradition of the Su family. Su Qiaoxiu was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she could only hold it back because it was her fault for doing something wrong.

Her mother also told her clearly that she could not keep the money from the embroidery for herself. At that moment, Su Qiaoxiu felt a chill in her heart, and she couldn't believe that this was what her mother, who had always loved her, would say.

But she didn't dare to refute. The beating she received that day was still vivid in her mind. There were still bruises on her body and her arms still hurt. It was not like she didn't know that what she did was wrong, and she admitted her mistake seriously and explained the reason, but she was still beaten. At that moment, she doubted her parents' love for her.

Although she did have some complaints before, now her words really express resentment. The more I thought about it, the angrier I became, and I unknowingly got stuck in a dead end of my own making, thinking that money was more important to my parents than their daughter.

With resentment in her heart, she naturally wouldn't listen to anyone. She just focused on embroidering these past few days, and didn't act like a spoiled child to coax her parents and try to get their forgiveness like she used to. She even spoke less and became much gloomier.

Mrs. Su, who had gotten much better, was sighing to the old man in the room. She thought her daughter would realize her mistakes, correct them and behave herself in the past few days, but she didn't expect her daughter to have a gloomy face the whole day, as if she was not wrong and it was their family that was wrong.

"Husband, do you think this child can be saved? It's all my fault. I spoiled her and made her character crooked." Mrs. Su couldn't help but want to cry again.

"Don't think too much. Besides, it's not your fault. It's not about spoiling her. You don't give in to her in everything. Besides, everyone in the family spoils her. But this is not an excuse for her willfulness. Wait a minute. This child has always loved face. Maybe she hasn't saved it yet. After all, she was beaten that day and the whole family knew about it. When she thinks it through, maybe she will be fine."

In the final analysis, it was because she was just following her own temper and being selfish, and she didn't think about why her parents treated her like that.

Looking at his old wife, Old Man Su naturally would not tell her what he was thinking. If he did, his old wife would be upset. He could only sigh silently in his heart. Now that my daughter has grown up, I understand that it is very difficult to change her personality.

After hearing what the old man said, Mrs. Su felt better, but she did not regret beating her daughter that day. The child was already a little crooked, and if she was left alone there would be no hope for her.
