I became beautiful by eating melons

She walked out in a panic. Ye Rou picked up the pills that fell on the ground and returned them to Ah Fu. When no one else was paying attention, she secretly hid a pill and followed Zhao Fengying.

Zhao Fengying didn't walk fast, so Chang Gang and Chang Tie supported her. Fortunately, the village was not big, so they arrived there in a short while.

"Chang the Cripple!" Zhao Fengying asked Chang Gang and Chang Tie to kick the door open and walked in angrily.

Ye Rou followed him in. It was a shabby yard with wine bottles piled up in the corners. The smell of alcohol lingered for a long time.

In the middle of the yard stood a table usually used for eating. It was in a mess, with the pot smashed on the ground, soup flowing everywhere, and the stools kicked over.

The man with messy hair sat in the corner, holding the bottle and drinking, his face flushed, and his words were also slurred: "Who let you in!"

"Where is Xiaohua? I'm asking you, where is Xiaohua?" Zhao Fengying looked around the yard in disgust, but didn't see anyone, so her tone became even more anxious.

"Xiaohua?" The man was drunk and thought for a while before he reacted. He smiled and said, "I sold it to you."

"Sold it!" Zhao Fengying slapped the man in anger: "That's your daughter!"

"You dare to hit me!"

Chang Quezi, whose face was twisted by the slap, was so angry that he waved the wine bottle, but was held down by Chang Gang and Chang Tie just as he was about to move.

A basin of cold water was poured on his head, and Chang Quezi screamed in pain.

Ye Rou put down the basin and said without any tone: "Now you are awake."

Chang Quezi shook his head and blinked twice. When he saw that the person standing in front of him was Zhao Fengying, he stopped being arrogant and asked, "Aunt Zhao, why are you back?"

He took a moment to react, then answered himself: "Yes, it's almost the anniversary of my uncle's death."

"Your uncle doesn't have a relative like you." Zhao Fengying asked him angrily, "Where is your daughter Changhua?"

"Xiaohua?" Chang Quezi reacted and cursed angrily: "Don't mention that damn girl to me. I provided her with food and water, and raised her to this age, but she actually fed me poisonous mushrooms and wanted to kill me. What a little beast, what an ungrateful wolf..."

He kept muttering and cursing, and Ye Rou was impatient to listen.

She picked up a branch and turned over the soup that had spilled on the ground, and sure enough, she found some chopped poisonous mushrooms in it.

No wonder the little girl went up the mountain before dawn. She seemed to know that Chang Cuzi was going to sell her, so she planned to strike first. Unfortunately, for some reason the poisonous mushrooms were still discovered.

Thinking of the little girl with her stubborn expression, Ye Rou tightened her grip on the branch.

"How long has the person been gone?"

Zhao Fengying quickly asked Chang Quezi: "Yes, who did you sell the child to? How long has the person been gone?"

"Hehe, everyone has gone up the mountain a long time ago." Chang Quezi smiled evilly, his tone relaxed, it didn't sound like he was selling his daughter, but rather like he was selling a pig.

"Going up the mountain?" Zhao Fengying's shoulders slumped: "It's over."

Seeing that Chang Quezi was still laughing, Zhao Fengying scolded him: "You fool, you sold your daughter. Who will take care of you in your old age?"

"Humph, this little ungrateful bastard won't take care of me in my old age. I might as well sell her off to save myself the trouble. She's always looking for her mother all day long. No matter how good I am to her, she doesn't remember me."

Chang Quezi became more and more excited as he spoke. He shook off Chang Gang and Chang Tie's hands, sat down on the ground, picked up the wine bottle and took a gulp, "Wine is still the best, it feels good!"

"You are really hopeless." Zhao Fengying shook her head in disappointment, looked at Ye Rou and said, "Let's go."

Ye Rou frowned, "Aren't you looking for Chang Hua?"

"I can't find it after I go up the back mountain."

Zhao Fengying was afraid that Ye Rou would go to the back mountain to look for someone in an impulsive manner, and eventually she would not be able to leave the village.

She grabbed Ye Rou's hand and brought her back to the yard.

Zhao Fengying went to the house and said to Ye Rou, "Comrade Ye, you are here to investigate your mother's past. Don't worry about other things. I brought you into the village and I will definitely take you out."

"What's in the back mountain?" Ye Rou asked persistently.

Zhao Fengying refused to reveal a single word, "Don't ask."

Ye Rou refused to give up and kept on pestering her.

"Comrade Ye, knowing these will do you no good, so why are you asking?" Zhao Fengying sat down on the chair with slumped shoulders and sighed deeply.

Ye Rou just said that she was very curious and didn't know why she couldn't sleep. She repeatedly assured Zhao Fengying that she would not do anything after knowing the truth and would not tell anyone else.

Zhao Fengying was entangled by her and had no choice but to stop. She was also afraid that Ye Rou would go out and ask nonsense questions. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Okay, I'll tell you, Comrade Ye, don't tell anyone else. You have to promise me."

"it is good."

Ye Rou agreed immediately.

"Alas, I should have kept these things to myself." Zhao Fengying could only say, "It's all because of that vixen!"

"Sister Fei?"

"It's because of her." Zhao Fengying sat under the lamp and mentioned Li Feifei with a gloomy face. "Chang Long has a bad temper and often beats his wives. The first two wives were beaten away by him."

"Chang Hu and Chang Xiong don't have the same mother?"

"Yes." Zhao Fengying said, "They were born to Chang Long's first wife. After that, he married two more, but they were chased away before they had children."

"I saw that no one was taking care of the two children and Chang Long's life was a mess, so I just meddled in their affairs."

Ye Rou pointed her finger and asked, "Did you tie the knot between Li Feifei and Chang Long?"

"It was me." Zhao Fengying was annoyed. "Li Feifei is from a nearby village. I went to visit relatives and saw her. Her husband had died, and it was not easy for her to raise a child. I saw that she was diligent, kept her house clean, and was pretty, so I became interested in her."

"How many years has Li Feifei been married to Chang Long?"

"It's been almost five years." Zhao Fengying snorted coldly: "This woman had evil intentions, and I didn't notice it at all. After she married Chang Long, my two sons took me to live in the city, and I left."

"Besides, my daughter-in-law was pregnant and my granddaughter was born, so I didn't go back to Changjia Village for a long time. When I came back, I found that it had changed."

Zhao Fengying hesitated, but she had already said so much, so she continued: "There are many people I don't know in the village. There are no girls over ten years old. You have to pay to enter the village..."

Ye Rou asked: "Is it protection money?"

“It’s the toll.”

Zhao Fengying didn't know much about this either, so she changed the subject and continued to blame Li Feifei:

"It was all instigated by this woman. She is so cruel and vicious. I don't know how she got in touch with the human traffickers. In five years, she turned Changjia Village into a place for human traffickers to rest and buy and sell people."

Ye Rou tapped her fingers lightly, her fox eyes slightly raised: "Do you think Li Feifei is the mastermind behind the human trafficking case?"

"Who else could it be but her? Before she came, there had never been such a thing in our village." Zhao Fengying said confidently.

Ye Rou smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

"It's getting late. Comrade Ye, go to bed early. We have to go up the mountain to visit my old man's grave tomorrow morning."

Ye Rou helped Zhao Fengying upstairs, sent her into the house, and then returned to her own room.

She faced the mirror, took off her mask, and raised her eyebrows in surprise when she saw her face in the mirror.

It seems like something has changed, but also like something hasn't changed. It seems... whiter?

Ye Rou crushed the mask in her hand and it seemed to be thinner than when she first put it on three days ago.

"System, what's going on?"

[The human-faced fruit is also known as the immortal tree, and its flesh can bring back the dead to life. ]

Ye Rou's eyes lit up instantly.

The system seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and the electronic voice said mercilessly: [The host is holding a mask made of human face peel, which only has some beauty and skin care effects. ]

"This is also a good deal!" Ye Rou was not disappointed. She held her rosy face and nodded with satisfaction.

The system was satisfied with the host's ease, and reluctantly reminded: [Host, tomorrow is the last day, and the human-faced fruit mask will become ineffective.]

"I remember." Ye Rou nodded, and suddenly paused.

She thought of the mask she gave Jiang Chen, and her expression froze: "System, do you think... is it possible that this mask is ineffective on men?"

The system seemed to be insulted and emphasized: [Impossible, the system's products are all top-quality. Regardless of gender, the skin-nourishing effects of the human-faced fruit mask will work.]

"It's over."

Ye Rou covered her face.

Although he was very embarrassed, Jiang Chen's tanned skin, which he had worked so hard to get, was ruined.
