46: Chapter 45: The Disguise Falls Off 46: Chapter 45: The Disguise Falls Off Xu Niannian was particularly polite outside, especially to strangers.
Of course, that was because the original host wanted to maintain a good reputation so she could marry into a good family later.
This Ding Guihua was one of the people the forr Xu Niannian would flatter.
However, the original host was very smart about it; although she flattered Ding Guihua, she never let it show.
So when she suddenly saw Ding Guihua smiling at her, Xu Niannian was not surprised.
“Aunt Ding.”
As they passed by, Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Niannian both politely greeted her.
Ding Guihua smiled and squinted her eyes, even more enthusiastic than usual, grabbing Xu Niannian’s hand, “Yo, Niannian, you’re back.”
When Xu Niannian returned, her gloves had accidentally gotten dirty, so she didn’t wear them.
Feeling the soft, delicate skin of her palm, Ding Guihua thought to herself, how could Yang Cuihua, that shrewish woman, have given birth to such a beautiful daughter.
She had known before that this Xu family girl was so beautiful, surely she would be able to marry into a good family.
It turned out she was right.
Hearing what her cousin said over the phone, Ding Guihua felt a twinge of jealousy.
She had a daughter too; why wasn’t she as beautiful?
Otherwise, this good fortune would not have fallen on this girl’s lap.
Xu Niannian was sowhat overwheld by the team leader’s wife’s enthusiasm.
Because of the team leader, Ding Guihua usually had a bit of arrogance in the village.
This was the first ti Xu Niannian had been treated with such fervor by Ding Guihua.
The key was she kept touching her hand, and Xu Niannian, sowhat embarrassed, withdrew her hand and used conversation to ease the awkwardness, “Aunt Ding, is there sothing you need?”
Ding Guihua smiled and narrowed her eyes, but suddenly fixated on the coarse cloth on Xu Niannian’s face, “Niannian, what happened to you?”
Ding Guihua worried, hoping it wasn’t a scarred face, which would an no advantage would be gained.
“Ah…
I got so prickly heat a few days ago, so today, I went out to sell so things and also bought so dicine on the way back,” hurriedly explained Xu Niannian.
“Prickly heat!” exclaid Ding Guihua in shock and horror.
Xu Niannian was surprised; this woman wasn’t her mother, after all.
Even if she really had prickly heat, there was no need for such exaggeration.
And from her mories, Ding Guihua wasn’t particularly kind to her junior.
Of course, in those days, being from the sa village, people had no obligation to be nice to her.
As Xu Niannian was thinking about how to continue the conversation, Ding Guihua suddenly reached for her face, shouting, “Let Auntie take a look.”
It was too late for Xu Niannian to stop her.
The coarse cloth on her face was pulled down, and without its cover, her stunningly beautiful features were revealed.
Seeing Xu Niannian’s current appearance, Ding Guihua and Xu Zhiqiang were stunned into stillness.
Her facial features were the sa, as was the shape of her face, but her skin had beco incomparably white, so white it seed to glow.
Her watery apricot eyes were clear and distinct, both large and bright, impossibly beautiful.
Even Ding Guihua, a middle-aged woman, couldn’t help but swallow her saliva at the sight.
Xu Zhiqiang was too shocked.
His sister had always been the great beauty of their locality, and even though they had grown up together, accustod to seeing her face, he still found her pretty.
But he had never imagined that one day, she could be even more beautiful.
It had only been a few days, what on earth had happened?
How could she have beco so white all of a sudden?
Not only was her skin whiter, but her complexion was also incredibly good.
Red lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and teeth, skin fairer than snow.
All the wonderful adjectives could not fully describe the beauty of Xu Niannian at that mont.
Of course, both Xu Zhiqiang and Ding Guihua, who had never been to school, could not think of such phrases.
In both of their eyes, Xu Niannian was simply beautiful, too beautiful, incredibly beautiful at this mont.
Seeing their astonished expressions, Xu Niannian felt both awkward and anxious.
Fortunately, she had prepared in advance, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to explain.
“Auntie, what’s wrong?” Ding Guihua had been silent, so Xu Niannian had to speak first to break the awkwardness.
It took a while for Ding Guihua to co to her senses, and she stamred, “Niannian, when did you beco so white?”
In fact, after Xu Niannian drank from the spring, in addition to her skin becoming whiter, there were also so subtle changes.
For instance, the expression in her eyes had changed, her complexion had changed, and so had her lip color.
The forr Xu Niannian, although attractive, was not stunning to the point where one couldn’t look away.
Because of her poor skin, no matter how attractive her features were, the longer you looked, the more flaws you’d notice, and thus she wasn’t as breathtaking as at first glance.
But now it was different, her skin had beco very good.
Ding Guihua, a middle-aged woman, wouldn’t be envious; after the initial amazent, she just felt a bit sour.
Why did soone else’s daughter have to be so beautiful?
Xu Zhiqiang was also curiously looking at Xu Niannian.
Xu Niannian coughed and hurriedly brought out the explanation she had prepared.
Feigning surprise, she held her face, “Ah, have my prickly heat been cured?
How can this dicine be so effective?”
Ding Guihua caught the keyword at once, “You took dicine?”
“Right, I’ve been taking herbal dicine these past few days, it’s been quite bitter.”
Upon hearing that Xu Niannian beca this white from drinking herbal dicine, Ding Guihua believed it right away.
After all, Xu Niannian’s facial features hadn’t changed.
She imdiately beca intrigued, “Where did you buy this dicine?”
Xu Niannian blinked and said without turning a shade of red or losing her breath, “It’s from a street vendor in the county town, but I couldn’t find him today, so I bought today’s dicine from sowhere else.”
Upon hearing this, Ding Guihua imdiately gave up her plan, as she had wanted to buy so for her own daughter.
Xu Zhiqiang was frowning at Xu Niannian, who quickly gave him a look.
Ding Guihua’s disappointnt lasted only a minute.
It was imdiately replaced by joy.
She had been worried that if Xu Niannian’s appearance was ruined, it might affect her cousin, especially since her cousin had been bragging about it.
They had heard that the potential suitor was an important figure; if they didn’t get the benefits and offended soone for nothing, that would be terrible.
However, she wouldn’t talk to Xu Niannian about such matters; it was better to go find Yang Cuihua.
In those days, parents decided on matrimonial matters.
There was no use talking to a girl about it.
Ding Guihua only knew that Yang Cuihua doted on Xu Niannian, but she didn’t realize that at ho, both Dawei and Yang Cuihua would never refuse her if Xu Niannian asked for anything.
Therefore, she had the full power to decide.
Seeing the doubt disappear from Ding Guihua’s eyes, Xu Niannian quickly asked her, “Auntie, did you need sothing from ?”
Ding Guihua snapped out of it, too embarrassed to keep staring at the young girl, “No, no problem.”
She then walked away with a smile on her face.
Xu Niannian had a puzzled look on her face, this…
why was it so strange?
But Xu Niannian didn’t dwell on it.
Since Ding Guihua had pulled off the coarse cloth from her face, Xu Niannian didn’t keep it wrapped around her.
As she encountered many villagers along the way, upon seeing their shocked expressions, Xu Niannian must have repeated the sa story she told Ding Guihua countless tis.
It exhausted her quite a bit.
Once the news spread, the entire village ca to know that Dawei, the la man’s daughter, had beco even more beautiful.
