Overcast turning fine
Fang Fang had already wiped off the makeup on her face with a towel, restoring her natural look. This face was actually still quite pretty and not bad-looking, but it was completely ruined by the acne.
"Brother, look now..." Fang Fang sighed with her head down, "You finally helped me find a job... and it's all gone to waste again."
He smiled leisurely and said, "If you've lost it, then just forget about it. Once dignity is lost, it can never be regained."
“Hmmm…” Fang Fang hesitated for a moment, then asked: “I was chatting with my fellow villagers... They told me that in this imperial capital city, people from small places can't put on airs. When they should lower their heads, they should lower their heads; when they should kneel, they should kneel. Otherwise, they won't be able to make any money.”
"They are them, you are you." Fang Xian shook his head and began to persuade with his own logic, "Sister, think about it, they lower their heads, kneel on the ground, earn money, and then what?"
"Then... just say it directly, brother, I'm stupid."
"And then there was no then."
“……”
"Sister, we're not geniuses, nor are we students from famous universities. We're just working girls. Whether in the city or back home, we're just getting by. Which one do you think is more comfortable?"
"Hometown."
"Is that right? You came here just to earn more money?"
"Right?"
"For you, coming here is to realize life value."
"Brother, I don't understand."
"Never mind, it's not necessary to talk about this so deeply now... anyway, you remember that dignity and face are more important than money, there are many things more important than money, don't give up everything for the sake of money, or in the end you'll have nothing. In the future when encountering such things, don't be self-abasing, straighten your back, if not then find me, can you understand?"
Fang Fang not only understood but also felt deeply moved, her eyes brimming with tears: "Brother... you're really great."
A faint sense of sorrow rose in his heart, a surge of great compassion for heaven and humanity welled up in his mind.
"Sister, no matter how many times it happens in the future, I'll always rush over to help you like I did today. So remember this, you're not alone here."
The mountain is really beautiful. The eastern girl was already touched to the point of being speechless, at this time she should have come up with a hug or something, but she was at a loss, the village was relatively conservative, and only close siblings could be open with each other.
Fang Xian shuddered, he really didn't want to hug her. It wasn't that he looked down on his sister's acne-covered face, but mainly because things related to women were already complicated enough, and if he added another one, he would truly go crazy - he was still young after all.
"Eh?" Fang Xian suddenly felt a movement in his heart, stretched out his hand to stroke Fang Fang's face, and slightly furrowed his brow.
"Brother... what's this..." Fang Fang's heart was slightly panicked, startled, and her heart skipped a beat, "You..."
"Don't move." Fang Xian's left hand also rose and squeezed a pimple on Fang Fang's face.
"Ow......" Fang Fang was shocked by this sudden movement and her whole body trembled.
"Stay still." Fang Xian dipped his finger into the mysterious liquid flowing out of the hemp, put it in front of his nose to smell, and then licked it with the tip of his tongue.
"Brother...... you......" Fang Fang felt that he needed to re-recognize his older brother, this habit was no longer tolerable for humans.
It's actually not scientific to say Fang Fang has acne, as acne refers to the scars left on the face, just like the ruins of a battlefield. Moreover, acne can't be squeezed out, so the package on Fang Fang's face should be called...
"It's actually... an insect plague, a demonic infestation."
"Ah?" Fang Fang was startled again, "You're talking about me? Why does it sound so disgusting."
"Don't panic, listen to me." Fang Xian furrowed his brow and wiped off the mysterious substance from his hand. "I always thought that the acne on your face was just ordinary, caused by hormonal imbalances during puberty, and it would get better after a while. But now it seems it's not that simple. You're already 23, and this acne is getting worse and worse. To be honest, I even suspect you have syphilis."
"......Impossible, I haven't yet..." Fang Fang lowered her head and twisted her body into an awkward posture.
"Don't be like that, your image isn't suitable for being cute." Fang Xian shook his head and continued, "Scabies is rarely seen, originally only found in the Sichuan, Yunnan, and western Hunan regions, which are also the birthplace of Miao medicine. So we have a deeper understanding of scabies. This is something similar to mites, lurking under the skin surface. However, this thing is more vicious than mites. The subcutaneous fat and other things can't be directly consumed by them, they need to be converted first before eating. During the conversion process, they release a mysterious substance, which is toxic to us. The toxic liquid destroys your subcutaneous tissue, which is also the reason why your face will never recover."
Fang Fang felt dizzy and scared: "What? There are insects under my face?"
"Not just your face, I bet your back has it too."
Fang Fang subconsciously covered her body: "You've peeked at me while I was bathing?!"
"Don't be noisy, I'm a skilled doctor with great precision and depth, specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases."
Fang Fang swallowed her saliva and nodded: "Indeed, I also have a lot of acne on my back. I thought it was chickenpox and even went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor prescribed me a lot of medicine for acne, but it didn't work. My mother even asked an old Chinese doctor to take a look at me, and after taking medicine for half a year, there was still no effect."
"Ah, definitely no effect, traditional Chinese medicine is for regulating endocrine functions, to treat this bug, you need to use something stronger."
Fang Fang shivered.
With a wave of his sleeve, a grand blueprint for cultivating his sister-in-law had already appeared before his eyes.
"Sister, all I said before was nonsense, it's what men want to hear. In this world, the most important thing for a woman is..."
"Appearance?"
"Not bad, you've finally wised up for once. All the things that didn't go well for you before were because of your acne. This... do you know Xiaos?"
"What about the host? She also has acne?" Fang Fang asked.
"They all learned to grab answers." Fang Xian shook his head, "She doesn't have a stutter, she has crooked teeth."
“……”
"When Xiao S accepts an interview, who is the person she is most grateful for in this life besides her father and mother?"
"Broker?"
"It's not, it's her dentist, her dentist helped her straighten all her teeth, pulled wisdom teeth and made dentures, she became a completely different person. Inner connotation is important, outer appearance is also important, the most crucial thing is that people look at the outer appearance first before looking at the inner connotation, no outer appearance means losing many opportunities."
Fang Fang seemed to be deep in thought: "Although I didn't hear it clearly and don't understand, but it seems to make sense..."
"Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Like this...". Fang Xian put on a commanding air, "After we leave, I reckon you won't be able to keep your job either. You can just go back to the company and sort out your resignation procedures, then come live at my place and help me take care of my parents. Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll go back and reform you through seclusion. With this process, you should at least be able to find a job as an etiquette hostess at an entertainment company."
Fang Fang heard the two words "young lady" and instinctively thought: "Etiquette young lady? Why does it sound strange?"
Fang Xian smiled: "The word 'miss' is really good, it's just been misused by people. Don't worry, Miss Etiquette is just a model for events, cutting ribbons and attending car shows, that kind of thing, no harm done."
Then Fang Fang asked: "How much can this young lady earn in a month?"
"Fang Xian thought for a moment: "My ex-girlfriend used to do this, an activity that lasts about half a day, earning between 100 and 300 yuan, now the price has probably gone up. If you go out to work for 15 days a month, it's no problem to earn 3,000 yuan. And if your image is still good after going abroad, then your commission will increase too. Although this is just a part-time job, there are many people who can earn more than 10,000 yuan per month."
"Ah......" Facing that huge five-digit number, Fang Fang fainted.
For her, being called a pockmarked girl since childhood has made her give up on her own image. Seeing those beautiful girls stand out, she can't help but feel envious. However, she's a down-to-earth girl who believes in an old man's theory - labor leads to wealth. Despite living in this dazzling and materialistic era, she still believes that as long as she works hard and strives with all her might, even a pockmarked girl like her can have her day in the sun.
It's just an overcast and rainy day today.
The dark clouds will disperse, and the sun will eventually come out.
If the dark clouds won't disperse on their own, Fang Xian will blow them away for her.
