In the village, there was favus-riddled guy called Gou Sheng. He was parentless. Because he was poor and lazy, he was still a bachelor at the age of twenty-five.

Gou Sheng always liked to go to places where women gathered. Even if he can't take advantage of them, he can have an eye-feast.

When Fang Xiao Juan fell into the water, he was digging his nose as he strolled coming over to this place. Hearing the call for help, he immediately turned into a "crazy" man and rushed over. He jumped into the river with a "splash".

Fang Xiao Juan felt someone was pulling herself and immediately used her all limbs to latch onto him tightly.

"Xiao Juan, don't hug so tight!" Although the beauty in embrace was ecstasy, both of them will die here if this continued!

How could Fang Xiao Juan possibly understand this. Instead she hugged him tighter.

The women by the river looked at each other. They were all  wiggling their eyebrows.

In everyone's presence, she hugged a man! Afraid it wasn't possible for Fang Xiao Juan to not marry Gou Sheng!

Gou Sheng was happy despite the pain. He finally dragged Fang Xiao Juan ashore after so much effort.

Fang Xiao Juan's face was dark green and her head was dizzy. It wasn't until Gou Sheng hovering over with a yellow set of teeth did she found out who saved her.

Her vision went dark. Before she could breather, she immediately fainted.

Da Qiao didn't know about her mom falling into the water. At the moment, she was studying her short hand.

She fiddled with her radish-like hands and looked at it over and over again. Then she pulled up her sleeves for comparison. Afterward, she was surprised to find that her hands were really fair!

Not the left radish! The right one!


Not only had it become fairer, but it had also become so smooth!

She dared to say that even her little sister's hands weren't as fair or smooth as hers!

She started doing housework at the age of three. Sweeping the floor, cooking and washing clothes. The water was so cold especially in winter. Her hands had frostbite every time. So her hands were always rough and ugly.

But in the past two days, her hands were getting fairer and smoother every day!

What was going on here?

She sat on the door mound. Her little hands supported her chin as she pondered for a while. Then she suddenly recalled the koi jade pendant the little fish gave her.

Since that day, the koi jade pendant dropped two jade beads every day.

Every time she threw the jade beads into the water and waited for them to melt before throwing them away.

The pear tree was blooming and her hands became white and smooth. Could it be related to the jade beads?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. She immediately went back to her room and called for the koi jade pendant to come out of her palm.

The koi jade pendant appeared in her palm. She touched the koi's eyes and whispered: "I, want, jade beads."


As soon as her voice fell, two jade beads fell out of the jade eyes.

She fetched a basin of warm water, and then threw the jade beads in. After it melted, she washed her face with the water.

After washing her face, she washed her hands. Finally, she took it outside and poured it out. But this time, she didn't water the pear tree  but the withered rose bush on the opposite side.

After she was done, she ran to get a small mirror and took a look under the sun. She felt she was a little fairer.

Qiao Zhen Jun watched the little dumpling from the window as she looked left and right in the mirror. This vanity successfully made him laugh.

Little dumpling Da Qiao heard her father's laughter. Her little cheek flushed. She shyly ran over, raised her head and asked in a babyish voice, "Dad, do you think I became fairer?"

The mirth in Qiao Zhen Jun’s mouth corner deepened. It was the first time he knew that his daughter was so vain. However, his daughter did seem to be fairer: "Fairer. Da Qiao is now a fair lady!"

This was a peculiar way of complimenting people here in the countryside. Unmarried girls who were fair were called fair lady. Those who were tanned were called tanned girl.

This was the first time for Da Qiao to called a fair lady. Her big eyes were bright like stars in the sky and her cheeks were flushed with joy. A very pretty sight!

She decided to wash her face with that water every day starting from today.

She will always be a fair lady!

Qiao Zhen Jun looked at little dumpling smiling until her eyes curved in the sun and discovered for the first time that she wasn't worst than Xiao Qiao in terms of looks.

Compared with Xiao Qiao, her facial features were more beautiful. It seems once she grows up in the future, she will surpass Xiao Qiao.

After a few days of rain, the weather became colder and colder. Xue Chuan's body was originally not in good shape. He fell ill once the weather changed.

Qiao Xiu Zhi had to take care of her son and her old spouse. She was moving non-stop. Initially, she had planned to make clothes for Da Qiao, but she hadn't had time to do it until now.

Wan Chun Ju came out of the room yawning. She saw her mother-in-law sitting in the yard making clothes. Her eyes lit up. She walked over and said, "Mom, are these clothes made for the child in my stomach?"

Qiao Xiu Zhi didn't even look at her. She straightforwardly shattered her dreams: "No. It's for Da Qiao."
Da Qiao! Why was Da Qiao again!

Hearing that it was for Da Qiao, Wan Chun Ju felt immediately uncomfortable.

She gave birth to three children for Qiao Family. What's more, one was a boy. But her mother-in-law had never made clothes for her children.

It didn't matter if the girls don't have any. After all, girls were worthless. They were raised to be another family's.

But An Ping was the only grandson of Qiao Family. Old Second Qiao was disabled and will definitely not have a son. Old Third Qiao was out driving all day. After five years of marriage, he only gave birth to a girl. One look and one can tell there won't be many children.

In other words, An Ping was probably the only hope of Qiao Family. Why didn't he get new clothes to wear, but the calamity star, Da Qiao did?

The more Wan Chun Ju thought about it, the more agitated she felt.

Qiao Xiu Zhi had her head lowered to sew the clothes. So she didn't noticing her expression. Even if she knew it, she wouldn't care.

The cloth was hers. She can make it for whomever she wants. No one can control this!

Wan Chun Ju saw that her mother-in-law ignored her. She wanted to grumble but didn't dare to. While not complaining made her feel extremely stifled: "Mom, with so much cloth, you can't use it all. How about making one for An Ping for the New Year. He got no new clothes to wear!"

Qiao Xiu Zhi finally raised her head and looked at her. Her gaze was cool: "Didn't you get a piece of cloth during the Mid-Autumn Festival? If you really feel dote your son, why don't you take it out and make it? Don't eye on my things!"

Wan Chun Ju choked to half-death by this. A breath was stuck in her chest. It couldn't get up or down. Made her retched to death!

Once Qiao Zhen Guo returned from work, she immediately filed a complaint: "Why is Mom getting more and more bad at differentiating family connection? An Ping is her grandson. Da Qiao is just a girl. How can she make one for a granddaughter while her grandson not have new clothes to wear?"

Qiao Zhen Guo looked at her strangely: "Look at what you are saying. An Ping is Mom's biological grandchild. And Da Qiao isn't?"

Wan Chun Ju felt her man's brain got a hole. Why can't he understand such a simple logic?

"But An Ping is our son. What's more, our only son. The only grandson of Qiao Family!"

She deliberately emphasized the word "only". She said it so clearly now, he should understand, right?

Qiao Zhen Guo looked at her like she was mental retarded: "You only gave birth to one son. Of course, he's the only one. Although you haven't gone to school, you are so stupid that you can't do such simple counting! Back then, I told you to attned literacy class and you don't want to. Now you know it's shameful?"

"!"

Was she discussing counting problems?

She was talking about the problem of Qiao Family treasuring granddaughter rather than grandson!

Wan Chun Ju almost couldn't breath. She was being choked to death by her own anger!

While Wan Chun Ju was half-dead from getting angered by her own man, Fang Xiao Juan was suffering.

It was December. The river was icy and chilly to the bones. With such a fall, she started to burn up that night.
