When Luo Erlu said this, the others immediately looked at his mother-in-law's face, and they were all extremely surprised:
"Hey, Erlu, did you buy cosmetics for your wife? Why are they so white?"
Luo Erlu immediately scolded:
"Go away, I'm still worrying about what the family of three will eat next month. How can I have any spare money to buy her cosmetics!"
"Besides, for a peasant with his face turned to the earth and his back turned to the sky, all the cosmetics you put on will be in vain!"
Having said that, it is an indisputable fact that his wife's face has turned pale. At first glance, she looks at least five or six years younger than before.
But soon, the villagers discovered that it was not just Luo Erlu's wife who had turned white. Several other women who were surrounded by Lao Ding and others with her had also changed a lot:
Not only did their skin become whiter, but it was also delicate and shiny, and some of their faces were as red as girls.
The change was so obvious that even their husbands couldn't believe it.
Yesterday she was a sad-faced woman with a yellow face. Why did she turn into a rosy-faced girl today?
One woman in particular, because her family was poor, had to work all year round. She was obviously forty years old, but she looked as if she was sixty years old, old and ugly.
But now, she seemed to be forty years old again. Everyone looked at her and felt that she was quite beautiful.
As soon as this thought came out, everyone was shocked. She was a notoriously ugly girl in the village.
The woman's husband suddenly reacted and became furious. He rushed in and grabbed the woman's arm and asked:
"Xue Cuihua, tell me, did you secretly use your family money to buy cosmetics? That's the money we saved to buy a house for our baby, you prodigal bitch!"
As he said that, the man raised his hand and was about to hit her. Fortunately, Lao Ding and others quickly stopped him.
The woman got angry after being scolded and said harshly:
"If you don't spout nonsense, I didn't spend any money!"
The man was very angry:
"You still dare to be so stubborn! How could you be like this without spending any money? You think I'm blind."
As he spoke, he rushed forward to take action again.
Once reminded by these words, several other men from the village women finally came to their senses: These prodigal women must have conspired together to take the family's money and run to the city to buy some beauty products.
Everyone was immediately furious. A small bottle of these things cost hundreds or even thousands. No peasant woman could afford them. They immediately stopped caring about trying to dissuade others. They rushed into the room one after another, dragging their mothers-in-law and cursing them.
"You bitch, half of your body is going to be buried in your 40s or 50s. You want to imitate other people's makeup and beauty. What do you want to do? You want to remarry!"
"There are seven or eight mouths in the house waiting for food. Why are you spending this unjust money? Are you crazy?"
"Tell me, where did you buy something? Come with me and return it now!"
For a while, the man dragged the woman, and the woman hit the man. There were constant quarrels between them, and the scene was chaotic.
When Luo Guangzu saw this, his head was as big as a bucket. This was really embarrassing.
He stamped his feet and waved his hands, and hurriedly rushed in with the others. After some hard talking, he pulled these people away.
Zhang Dachuan watched this farce the whole time, his face became more and more gloomy, and his mood was worse than ever.
The local villagers are so rude!
At this moment, Li Yuwei and professor Liu Jinong, who had heard the news, came out from the experimental field. Seeing the messy scene, they felt bad and quickly joined the team to persuade them.
But this chaotic situation like a vegetable market cannot be straightened out in a short while. The men here insist that their mothers-in-law bought cosmetics, while the women there deny it, arguing, and the topic changes. When it comes to "Why can't women who work hard to run the house buy cosmetics?", it's such a mess.
Li Yuwei persuaded her for a while, and finally grasped the point of the matter, and said loudly with all her strength:
"Everyone, calm down and listen to what I have to say!"
"I have used cosmetics and beauty products, and I have the best say: In this world, there is no beauty product that can restore youthfulness to skin and make people look rosy and look five or six years younger. No!"
"So calm down first and listen to what the aunts have to say. Let's figure things out before we argue, okay?"
It has to be said that as a top student at Dongjiang University, Li Yuwei still has some influence among the villagers. Everyone stopped arguing and stood on both sides of the road, looking at Li Yuwei.
Li Yuwei looked at Xue Cuihua seriously and looked at the other person's face carefully.
Because of the experimental field, Li Yuwei knew Xue Cuihua. There were many times when she couldn't do farm work well because of the other person's help. Therefore, Li Yuwei knew very well what Xue Cuihua was like before.
But now, looking at this honest and affectionate "sister-in-law", looking at her obviously whitened skin and smooth and firm face, Li Yuwei had an illusion from the bottom of her heart that she didn't recognize her.
She touched the other person's face with her hand and was 100% sure that Xue Cuihua didn't use any beauty products!
Li Yuwei shook her head, suppressed the shock in her heart, and asked curiously:
"Sister-in-law, how did you do this? Can you explain it to us? I know your face is definitely not the result of beauty products."
Facing Li Yuwei's inquiry, Xue Cuihua became a little uneasy.
Finally, she glanced at Zhang Dachuan, then suddenly bowed to Zhang Dachuan and said stutteringly:
"Zhang, Boss Zhang, I'm sorry, I led everyone to eat grapes secretly. I, I am willing to accept the punishment."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone became more and more puzzled.
We are asking you how to become beautiful, but you say that you should not steal grapes. What does this have to do with stealing grapes?
It's simply not the same as the horse's mouth!
Xue Cuihua straightened up, looked around, took a deep breath and explained:
"The changes on my face all happened after eating grapes."
“The grapes in Boss Zhang’s vineyard area, they can make people beautiful!”
The scene was quiet.
People looked at Xue Cuihua with disbelief on their faces.
Immediately, they came back to their senses and laughed mockingly:
"Eating a grape will make you beautiful. Stop talking nonsense."
"Xue Cuihua, you are fooling me, it must be the high-end skin care products you paid for!"
"I guess you spent money on plastic surgery! That must be the case! I heard that plastic surgery in that Kimchi country is very powerful. A face lift can make you beautiful."
"Tsk, tsk, this is a waste of my life. Xue Cuihua, are you living in poverty?"
Seeing that Xue Cuihua's husband was so angry at these words that he almost had a cerebral hemorrhage and wanted to kill the prodigal woman on the spot. Zhang Dachuan, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly spoke.
He looked at Xue Cuihua seriously, took a deep breath, and asked slowly:
"Xue Cuihua, please explain this matter to me clearly. I will not hold you responsible for today's matter."
