I became beautiful by eating melons

After this experience, Ye Rou felt that she would not be afraid no matter what happened.

She returned to the Ye family carrying firewood.

Seeing Ye Rou, Ye Wen kicked the dirty clothes at his feet and said, "Wash these."

Ye Rou looked at Ye Wen.

She looked back and forth in the small mirror in her hand.

Ye Rou bent over and rummaged through the dirty clothes. She threw a few blood-stained Ye Wen pants back to her feet, then picked up the dirty clothes on the ground and walked out.

Ye Wen behind her called her angrily.

Ye Rou stopped and said, "If you let me wash you, everyone in the village will know about it tomorrow."

Ye Wen choked on the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

She snorted coldly, stuffed the dirty clothes into the wooden barrel, carried the barrel, and took a few quick steps to catch up with Ye Rou.

The moment she passed Ye Rou, she suddenly stopped, leaned her head towards Ye Rou, and her nose kept moving.

The distance was too close, Ye Rou felt uncomfortable and took a step back.

Ye Wen said firmly: "You ate meat!"

Ye Rou's heart was beating fast, but she looked calm, "You smelled it wrong."

"Impossible, I didn't smell it wrong, you ate the meat!" Ye Wen looked towards the kitchen, "Did you eat the bacon?"

Ye Rou said calmly: "Did I say that?"

She left with the dirty clothes in her arms.

Ye Wen stared at her back and clenched his teeth.

Ye Rou must have eaten the meat. To catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, she has to keep an eye on Ye Rou!

There is a river in front of the village, and this river is the origin of the name of Dahe Village.

In ancient times, people used this river to travel by boat. The river was flat and wide, and in the deepest part people could not even get their heads out.

There are lush reeds growing by the river, and goose yellow ducks are swimming around in them.

Ye Rou arrived not too early, and all the slightly flatter areas were occupied.

The women squatted by the river, chatting while washing clothes. Talking about trivial things helped to kill time, and being busy didn't feel so boring or tiring.

The way of washing clothes is no different from that in ancient times. People would squat by the river and beat the clothes with a wooden mallet.

Ye Wen ran to find someone familiar.

Ye Rou avoided Ye Wen and found another place.

She picked up a piece of clothing and, imitating the aunt next to her, soaked it in the water.

The three aunts closest to her were chatting.

"The Zhao family and the Wang family are fighting over Gu Huai."

"Your news is too late. The Zhao family wants Zhao Wan to marry Gu Huai. Zhao Wan doesn't want to live like this and wants to commit suicide at home."

"So Gu Huai is going to marry Wang Qian?"

"Here comes the funny part. Gu Huai said that the baby in Wang Qian's belly might not be his, and he refused to agree to it."

"Is Village Chief Jiang having a terrible headache?"

"Yes, I just passed by the village committee and heard the village chief cursing!"

"I think we should arrest these three people and send them to a farm for reform. They are ruining the morale of our village."

The aunt who was talking saw Ye Rou and asked about the details of Wang Qian and Gu Huai's relationship.

"Ye girl, when did Wang Qian and Gu Huai meet?"

"Which of them took the initiative first?"

"Tell us quickly."

Throughout the ages, people have always enjoyed eating melons.

Ye Rou shook her head, "I don't know the details."

She really didn't know, after all, she didn't have the original owner's memory.

The surroundings became quiet. Ye Rou picked up the soaked clothes and started beating them hard with the mallet.

Soap powder was still very expensive in that era. Zhao Xiulan kept a close eye on her. Ye Rou rubbed hard with her hands, trying to get the oil stains off her clothes.

"Pfft!"

Ye Rou looked up and saw three children on the other side of the river jumping into the water one after another like dumplings.

In this day and age, children are allowed to run freely. Except for Ye Rou who felt unsafe and kept staring at them, everyone else looked like they were used to it and didn't pay much attention.

Ye Rou immediately discovered that something was wrong with the three children. Their heads were floating in the water and their arms were slapping the water surface. One of the children was so frightened that he couldn't even shout for help.

"Someone fell into the water!"

Ye Rou shouted, threw away her clothes and jumped into the river.

Although it was midsummer, the river water was still very cold. She shivered with cold, but quickly stretched her body and swam quickly towards the three children.

The river was deep but not wide. Ye Rou approached the three children, took one in each hand and pushed them to the shore.

One of the children pulled her with exceptional force, pressing her head firmly into the water. She held her breath, increased her speed, and finally managed to get the three children out of the water.

After reaching the shore, Ye Rou was so cold that she hugged her arms. Suddenly, she heard some children giggling. Three children were pointing at her and laughing so hard that they were shaking all over.

"You got Fooled!"

"Ugly, we lied to you, we weren't drowning at all, idiot!"

"How stupid!"

The child standing in the middle had the coldest and most vicious smile. He was the child who had just pressed Ye Rou down and prevented her from looking up.

She just thought the child was too scared, but now it seems that he did it on purpose. If Ye Rou had not held her breath, she would really have died in the river.

Ye Rou sat in the sun, feeling very cold all over.

She hugged her arms tightly, and the strong malice made her tremble all over.

The voices from the other side floated over.

"It's these same brats again. They use this trick every year and they never get tired of it."

"Only Ye girl is stupid enough to really go and save people."

"It's strange that Zhao Xiulan could raise such a silly girl."

"Actually, this girl has a good heart, but she's just too ugly."

Ye Rou lowered her head and listened to these people's ridicule.

Suddenly a coat was draped over her. She looked up and saw Jiang Chen, smoking a cigarette, smiling sinisterly: "How pitiful."

Xiao Hu pointed at Jiang Chen and Ye Rou and made faces: "Adulterer and whore!"

Jiang Chen sneered, strode over and grabbed Xiaohu.

A big hand grabbed him and pushed his head heavily into the water.

"Gululu!" Little Tiger flapped his arms hard.

The splashing water wet Jiang Chen's face. He smiled wickedly and pressed down Xiaohu's head twice like a ball before pulling him out. "Are you still scolding me?"

Xiaohu's face turned purple from holding it in, and he shook his head desperately.

Jiang Chen patted his face: "That's good."

He let go, and Xiaohu ran away crying, shouting that he wanted to go home and complain.

Ye Rou stood up and returned the coat to Jiang Chen: "Thank you."

Jiang Chen smiled lazily, took the coat and put it on again.

Ye Rou walked back from the bridge and continued washing clothes. The coolness around her body lingered for a long time.

The aunts around were talking about the relationship between Ye Rou and Jiang Chen.

After Ye Rou finished washing the clothes, she stood up, her eyes blurred, and she fell heavily to the ground.

"Ye Rou!"

"Someone come quickly!"

-

Ye Rou opened her eyes. There was a light bulb hanging above her head. Her head felt like it was going to explode with pain. She tilted her head slightly and saw an infusion bottle hanging beside the bed.

"you're awake."

An old and kind voice sounded. Ye Rou looked over and saw an old man lying on the bed opposite.

This old man was different from the other old men in the village. He had a bookish air, was skinny, and wore tattered but straight clothes. He was leaning on the quilt with a book in his hand.

"Old Liu, the little girl is awake."

The sound of footsteps was heard, and an old man came over. He bent down to look at Ye Rou's face. The bitter smell of Chinese medicinal herbs on his body made Ye Rou feel particularly friendly.

The old man was thin, with his hair and beard neatly trimmed.

"It's okay, it's just the sudden change from cold to hot. You can go home after the infusion."

Ye Rou knew that she had fainted by the river and was sent to the clinic.

Ye Rou spoke, her voice dry, "Thank you."

Doctor Liu waved his hand casually and turned to look at the old man next to him, "Just read the book and don't do anything rash. Your blood is all gone."

"It's okay." Mr. Wang kept his eyes on the book.

Doctor Liu: "Is it another book that Jiang gave you? That guy knows what you like."

Old Wang raised his head and spoke again, his voice was old but wise, "We are doing a deal. That guy is smart. What a pity."
