Ni Yang bought a shop! She actually bought a shop!
After that, Liu Juan couldn’t hear anything else. She felt a surge of blood to her head, blacked out, and fell unconscious right away.
“Juan’er!”
“Mom!”
Ni Dazhu, frightened, quickly pressed Liu Juan’s Renzhong acupoint. After a while, Liu Juan slowly opened her eyes.
The moment she opened her eyes, she started beating and berating Ni Dazhu, “You damn coward! Why don’t you go die? You can’t even keep a country bumpkin in check. My money, you have to get my money back right now…”
300 yuan!
She invested everything she had just to lease this lousy stall!
She had originally planned to skin Ni Yang for a big pot of cash, but now, not only did she not get the money, but she also lost 300 yuan instead.
Liu Juan’s rage was about to explode!
Why did that sneaky Ni Yang go out and buy a shop?
At that moment, Liu Juan was both jealous and green with envy. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she felt extremely miserable.
Liu Xiangxiang was also sitting by the side, crying and making a fuss, “My money, I want my money…”
She had already picked out the clothes and cosmetics she wanted to buy, and had even planned to use the money she took back today to buy a nice-looking wig… Now it all came to nothing!
She couldn’t accept it!
Why did Ni Yang secretly buy a shop behind their backs?
Liu Juan hit hard. Ni Dazhu’s face that had just recovered from bruises was again covered with fresh ones as if spring had come after the rain.
Ni Dazhu didn’t dare to complain. He could only curse Ni Yang a thousand times in his heart.
Ni Yang had no idea what happened over here.
At this time, she was squatting in the yard brushing her teeth. After brushing her teeth, she noticed a small pimple on her forehead while washing her face.
For someone who loves beauty, having pimples is a big deal!
It seems that simply relying on nutrition from food isn’t enough. Skincare products also need to be used in order to maintain flawless and fair skin.
Moreover, winter is coming, and the skin on the face and hands will crack in the cold wind.
She needs to take care of her skin.
There aren’t many skincare products in this era. The most famous one is the snowflake cream, followed by the clam oil packed in shells.
The clam oil is affordable but doesn’t provide much skincare benefit.
Snowflake cream is too expensive for ordinary people to afford, and some imported skincare products are even more ridiculously priced.
Just then, an idea flashed across Ni Yang’s mind – she could make her own skincare products!
With her previous life experience and medical knowledge, she wasn’t afraid of getting poisoned.
She thought so and acted immediately. After wiping her face casually, Ni Yang carried a pair of scissors and headed towards the vegetable garden.
Apart from vegetables, there are aloe vera and medicinal herbs planted in the garden.
Aloe vera has excellent skincare and pimple-drying properties, as well as excellent hydration benefits.
Ni Yang planned to make a face wash and aloe gel with aloe vera.
The aloe vera grew very well, from originally three plants to over a dozen plants now, which were very plump and thick thanks to Ni Cuihua’s regular watering and fertilizing, appearing forest-green and dripping with vigor.
Ni Yang snipped a full basket of aloe vera leaves with a “kacha, kacha” sound before heading back.
Seeing Ni Yang carrying back aloe leaves, Ni Chengui exclaimed surprisingly, “No way, Yangyang! Can these aloe leaves be eaten too?”
Because Ni Yang’s culinary skills are really good, this causes Ni Chenggui to immediately think of food whenever he sees Ni Yang carrying anything!
Ni Yang smiled and said, “No, I plan to use it to make facial cleanser and aloe vera gel.”
“Facial cleanser?” Ni Chenggui asked curiously, “Is it a type of milk drink?”
“No, you can’t drinkit,” Ni Yang explained, “It’s for washing your face, cleansing your skin.”
“Oh.” Ni Chenggui nodded his head in semi-understanding.
“Then what is aloe vera gel? Is it also for washing your face?” Ni Chenggui continued asking.
“Aloe vera gel is for applying to your face, it has acne-removing and hydrating effects,” Ni Yang continued, “Once I’ve made it, Auntie Ni, you can try it and you’ll know.”
Excitement immediately appeared in Ni Chenggui’s eyes.
The process of making a facial cleanser is not complicated. First, wash the aloe and peel it, then place it in a mortar and mash it. Following that, gradually mix in a spoonful of honey and half a cup of milk to form a milky substance.
Because there was no milk at home, Ni Yang specially went to Xiaohua’s house in the village, which had dairy cows, to buy a can of milk.
But Xiaohua’s grandmother was insistent on not taking money. Ni Yang laughed and said, “Granny, if you’re not taking the money, I won’t dare to come to your house to buy milk next time. Our village is so far from the city, do you really want to see me running all the way there?”
Helpless, Xiaohua’s grandmother finally took the money, but instantly asked Xiaohua to send over a basket of homemade vermicelli.
Xiaohua squatted next to Ni Yang and curiously asked, “Sister Ni Yang, what are you doing?”
Ni Yang explained to Xiaohua about the facial cleanser and aloe vera gel.
After hearing the explanation, Xiaohua exclaimed in surprise, “Sister Ni Yang, you’re so amazing!”
Soon, the facial cleanser was ready.
Next up was the production of the aloe vera gel.
The production of aloe vera gel is also quite simple, just peel the aloe and slice it, then mash it into pulp.
However, if you want the aloe vera gel to be more effective, you need to add some distilled water, but making distilled water isn’t that simple.
Therefore, Ni Yang kept busy until after nine o’clock before she managed to make the aloe vera gel.
After making the facial cleanser and aloe vera gel, Ni Yang tried them out. The facial cleanser even foamed up well, and the effects were fantastic. After washing, she could see that her skin had become significantly smoother.
After applying the aloe vera gel to her face, it was absorbed very quickly. In no time, the color of the pimples on Ni Yang’s face started to fade substantially.
When Xiaohua was leaving, Ni Yang filled some small jam jars with aloe vera gel and facial cleanser for Xiaohua to take home for her mother to use.
Xiaohua responded politely, “Thank you for the facial cleanser and aloe vera gel, Sister Ni Yang. My mom will definitely like them.”
Ni Yang smiled and asked, “You know how to use them, right?”
Xiaohua nodded, “Don’t worry, Sister Ni Yang. I understand,” Xiaohua was clever after all and had just watched Ni Yang do everything from the side – how could she possibly not know?
After seeing Xiaohua off, Ni Yang turned back to the room to let Ni Cuihua try the aloe vera gel and facial cleanser, when suddenly, there were footsteps outside the door.
“Yangyang, is Yangyang home?”
Then came Yang Guobao’s voice, “Sister Ni Yang, I’m here!”
Ni Yang stepped out and saw that it was Wang Meifeng and Yang Guobao who had come. Behind the mother and son were a party of three – two elderly and one young – carrying big and small bags of things.
“Auntie Wang, Guobao.” Ni Yang greeted them with a smile.
Wang Meifeng followed up, “Yangyang, let me introduce you. These are Guobao’s grandparents and this is my husband, Yang Changzheng. Dad, Mum, Changzheng, this is Ni Yang, the young Divine Doctor who cured Guobao.”
Although Zhou Suhua had known that Ni Yang was very young, she was still very shocked after seeing Ni Yang in person. Moreover, she couldn’t have imagined that Ni Yang was this beautiful!
She could be a movie star!
This temperament, this appearance, if you said she was from the countryside, people might not believe it!
“Young Divine Doctor, thank you for curing our Guobao, you are our Yang family’s living Bodhisattva, thank you…” Zhou Suhua grabbed Ni Yang’s hand, her speech becoming incoherent out of excitement.
