If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth
Chapter 27 Finding the Medicine
On the other side, inside the educated youth compound
Zhang Jing sneaked back, entered the dormitory room, took off her hair clip, and started fiddling with the keyhole. Soon, the keyhole clicked open.
Opening the mahogany box revealed a variety of food items, their enticing aromas making one's mouth water. Unable to resist, I took out a sponge cake and devoured it in a few bites.
Just as I was about to eat two more pieces, I heard light footsteps behind me, which startled me: "Who's there?"
Lin Qingqing smiled slightly: "Jingjing, don't be afraid, it's me. I came back to get something because I had my period. I didn't expect to see you opening a box here. It's okay, I didn't see anything. You can continue."
Zhang Jing looked at her, reached out and pulled her over to open the box: "Look, this is all Wen Yao's stuff. There's so much food, and all these fabrics and clothes are nice too."
"It's a pity I can't take it, otherwise I'll have nowhere to hide the clothes, and if someone catches me red-handed, that would be a crime."
"Alright, enough of that. Quickly flip through it and see if there are any potions or powders. We need to expose her face and let everyone see how cunning she is."
Lin Qingqing scoffed lightly: "Someone who doesn't even dare to reveal their true face is probably up to something. If they're some kind of spy, we'll be rich."
"Otherwise, think about it. What normal person would go to such lengths to cover their face? Applying that medicine to your face is bound to cause some harm."
Zhang Jing nodded, "Okay, we can find it faster if we search together."
"I think I'll pass on the look."
"No, we have to do it together. Otherwise, if you, Lin Zhiqing, go out and report me, I'll be in a very passive position. It'll just be the two of us searching through things."
"That's what it means to be 'grasshoppers tied to the same rope'."
Lin Qingqing couldn't refuse her, so she had no choice but to search with her. They quickly found a jar and poured some of the medicine out into a glass bottle.
Zhang Jing put it in her pocket, her eyes shining: "Alright, let's hurry up and pack up and go back. If we linger too long, people will get suspicious."
"Okay, I got it. Let's hurry up."
After returning everything to its original state, Zhang Jing couldn't resist taking some pastries and eating them before closing and locking the mahogany box.
"Hmm, let's go, let's get down here quickly."
A hint of disdain flashed in Lin Qingqing's eyes. This idiot was really greedy. Even at a time like this, he still couldn't forget to eat.
The two quickly returned to the field, pretending to be weak from heatstroke, and dawdled until the afternoon. The team leader then sent someone to bring over some cooling tea, and everyone lined up to get it.
Zhang Jing and Lin Qingqing exchanged a glance, nodded in tacit agreement, and moved closer to Wen Yao, blocking her in the middle from both sides.
When no one was paying attention, he suddenly flicked his wrist and splashed the water mixed with medicine onto her face. Feigning panic, he took out a handkerchief, also coated with medicine, and used it to wipe her face.
Wen Yao didn't react for a moment. Her face was wiped a few times, and she frowned. After regaining her senses, she grabbed Zhang Jing's wrist: "Zhang Jing, what are you doing?"
Zhang Jing looked at her fair and rosy face, her breath caught in her throat, and her mind went blank. Beautiful, her skin was so white it seemed to glow, as white as milk.
"You, your face..."
What happened to my face?
The people queuing around heard the commotion and looked over. When they saw Wen Yao's face clearly, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Wen Yao noticed the amazement and surprise in their eyes, and instinctively covered half of her face where there was a birthmark: "What are you looking at?"
Zhou Yunshan's usually composed face was now filled with shock: "Wen Zhiqing, how come the birthmark on your face is gone?"
"...!!"
The others immediately erupted in excitement: "Yeah, the birthmark is gone! You can wipe off birthmarks? She's so beautiful, how can she be so fair-skinned?"
"It's as white as snow, so beautiful."
Wen Yao's expression changed. She pursed her lips and said nothing, but gave Zhang Jing and Lin Qingqing a deep look before running towards Jiang Lie.
Everyone instinctively wanted to chase after them, but then they realized their mistake and felt a little annoyed. So what if they looked a little better? Why bother chasing them when we're not going to do any work?
Hearing the call, Jiang Lie straightened up and looked over.
Seeing her run over with her face covered, he quickly walked over and asked in a calm voice, "Yaoyao, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Wen Yao covered her face with a handkerchief in her hand, and lowered her voice upon hearing this: "I want to go back to the educated youth compound. The birthmark on my face is gone. Zhang Jing and Lin Qingqing may have tampered with my medicine."
"Otherwise, with normal sweating and rinsing with water, the birthmark will fade a little, but it won't disappear completely."
Jiang Lie nodded: "Okay, I'll go back with you to take a look. If anything is missing, report it to the police directly. Don't be soft-hearted towards them."
"Okay, I'll go back and take a look."
The two walked towards the educated youth compound one after the other. After opening the door, Wen Yao quickly took out the key from around her neck, opened the mahogany box, glanced at it, and took out the contents to look at the bottom.
After checking that the money and tickets were all there, I picked up a jar and shook it. The weight was off; it was clearly missing some.
Jiang Lie stood aside and watched her examine the body.
"How is it?"
Wen Yao slowly exhaled: "Fortunately, the jade bracelet and pendant that my mother left me are all there, and the money and tickets are also all there. Some of the medicine is missing, and some of the pastries are also missing."
"Besides Zhang Jing, no one else could remember eating while rummaging through the boxes. Lin Qingqing was probably involved too, but it's not appropriate to report this to the police."
"There was no property damage, so reporting it to the police is useless."
Jiang Lie frowned slightly: "So, we're just going to leave it at that?"
This is unlike her.
Wen Yao's lips curled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes: "Of course not, how could I suffer such a loss in silence? I have better ways to deal with them, as long as there is no financial loss."
"It was my carelessness. I should have changed to a better lock. They opened it so easily. This lock is no good."
"Jiang Lie, wait for me. I need to take care of my face. After I get my revenge on them in a couple of days, I won't need to use any more medicine on my face. Allergies are really uncomfortable."
Jiang Lie nodded: "Okay, just tell me what you need me to do, and I'll do it."
"It's okay, I can manage on my own."
Wen Yao looked at the bottle of medicine in the box and her lips twitched.
The two quickly returned to the fields to continue working. Everyone's gaze subconsciously turned to Wen Yao, and seeing the birthmark on her face, their eyes held a complex expression.
"She's so pretty, why would she draw a birthmark on her face? It's ruining her looks."
"Who knows? Maybe she doesn't want people to see her. After all, with such a beautiful face, if someone in the countryside has bad intentions, it might not be a good thing."
