Chapter 271: Chapter 273: Sis, I’ve Got You Covered! _1
Anyway, if she were a man, she would definitely marry Qiao Duo’er.
"Sister-in-law, you... you are so beautiful. Do you remember? It was me who carried you back from the riverbank," Tie Niu’er said timidly.
If she hadn’t seen Qiao Duo’er again later, she wouldn’t have dared to recognize her.
Qiao Duo’er had only woken up for a short while after being fished out of the water and then passed out, having no idea how she got back.
She only remembered that when she woke up, there was a man by her side, and he was doing something embarrassing.
But she hadn’t expected that in just a few months, that man would become the person closest to her.
"Then I must thank you properly," Qiao Duo’er said politely.
"It’s nothing; if you really want to thank me, just tell me how I can become fairer. Look at me, I’m so dark, and I have lots of spots on my face," Tie Niu’er said, pursing her lips.
She inherited her dark complexion from her father, and with her wild nature, she had been tanned to this state.
Now a grown girl, she found it impossible to become fairer.
Qiao Duo’er looked at Tie Niu’er and felt helpless about her wheatish skin tone, but she believed she could help with the spots.
The spots on Tie Niu’er’s face were like hers, all sunspots, which upon closer inspection looked like quail eggs.
"I used a medicinal powder that I mixed myself. If you don’t mind, I can make some for you to try. If you get an allergic reaction, you should stop using it," she offered.
Qiao Duo’er spoke generously. She had prepared quite a bit of the medicinal powder, and now, applying it every three days, she used it slowly.
And the medicinal powder would be less effective if it sat for too long, so it made sense to share some with Tie Niu’er.
She decided not to mention acupuncture; if the girl used it incorrectly, it could lead to serious issues.
Tie Niu’er said with a smile, "You’re too kind. My face is saved! Look at me, I’m all thick-skinned and tough; I definitely won’t have an allergic reaction. Sister, don’t worry at all!"
She was so excited that her words started to jumble, not even knowing what she was saying.
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but laugh; such a child she was.
She got up and went inside. She wrapped up some medicinal powder for Tie Niu’er in oil paper and also explained how to use it and the right amount.
Tie Niu’er, as if receiving a treasure, excitedly hugged Qiao Duo’er: "Sister, I love you to death! Don’t worry; from now on, I’ve got your back. You can do anything you want in Big Willow Village with no worries!"
She, Tie Niu’er, was all about loyalty; once she acknowledged someone, they were friends for life!
"Alright, then you must protect me if I get into trouble," Qiao Duo’er raised her eyebrows playfully.
That mischievous look was even more charming.
Tie Niu’er said enviously, "Sister, you’re really beautiful. Look at me; I must have been mixed up at birth by my mother. I should have been a man!"
With her large frame and dark skin, how could she resemble a woman?
But in Qiao Duo’er’s view, she wasn’t that bad; Tie Niu’er had something of a Western woman about her, with a noble quality in her brows.
"You’re beautiful too. I like this skin color; the most important thing is to be healthy, unlike me who can’t help out in the fields," Qiao Duo’er sighed.
Tie Niu’er nodded in agreement; that made sense, and thinking it through made her happy again.
With her strength, farm families would surely value a daughter-in-law like her.
"Sister, let’s go to my house. It’s also a good opportunity to let them know what’s going on," Tie Niu’er pulled Qiao Duo’er by the hand.
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "I’ll go back to get some things. Just wait for me a moment. Sister-in-law, I’ll leave these to you."
Today there were only a few vegetables to be pickled, including lotus root, Chinese cabbage, peanuts, and water spinach. Hu’s Clan could manage, and she assured Qiao Duo’er that everything would be fine.
