The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

After several arguments and exhaustion, he still couldn't break the invisible shackles.

A tug-of-war between family affection and tradition lasted for several days. Until the dust settled, people's lives slowly returned to normal, but the hidden pain was still there, lingering.

Su Yu and Jiang Ziling, two close friends who once laughed and talked about the ups and downs of life, also chose to close their doors to visitors under this gloom, as if they wanted to use silence to isolate themselves from the disturbances of the outside world.

Zi Ling was resting in the house, his needle and thread were moving, and the soles of his shoes were gradually taking shape. Every stitch represented his unyielding belief in life. Su Yu, on the other hand, was carefully preparing secret recipes that could nourish her face. Every spoonful of powder and every portion of paste represented her determination to fight against the passage of time.

Exposure to sunlight and erosion by wind and sand have made her skin feel drier than ever before. Skin care has become a race against time, because in this woman's heart, beauty is not only external brilliance, but also the love and respect for life.

Just as the turmoil in the Jiang family was gradually subsiding, Jiang Xiehe mustered up unprecedented courage and set out to seek help with his childish daughter Jiang Yueyue.

Su Yu, the woman who had made a promise, finally waited for this opportunity to practice her kindness and bring a glimmer of change and hope to Yueyue's expectant little face.

Before that, she could only wait silently, letting time heal the Jiang family's wounds and find a suitable moment for her promise.

When she first met Jiang Yueyue, Su Yu was truly shocked by the unique look on her face, and ripples arose in her heart.

This... really adds some difficulties to the matter of proposing marriage.

Yueyue's complexion was slightly dull, like the distant mountains covered with mist in autumn, and the dark spots on her face were like stars scattered in the night sky, especially concentrated on her cheeks, as if silently telling some secret.

When she lowered her eyes shyly, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her cheek seemed to be buried in the simple collar of her clothes, her shyness and innocence made people feel pity.

Su Yu gently led her into the room, while Jiang Ziling tactfully leaned on his crutches and slowly walked towards the bedroom. Each step he took seemed steady and full of the accumulation of years.

Xiao Xier, who was standing by, was full of endless curiosity about this big sister whose body was covered with mysterious spots. Her round eyes followed her closely, making Yueyue even more shy.

As per usual practice, Su Yu began to feel Jiang Yueyue's pulse. The hands he touched were rough and dark, thick and covered with calluses, which were the marks left by years of hard work in the fields.

In this small village, although not every girl is spoiled like a greenhouse flower, most of them only do simple housework or needlework. Occasionally they go to the rice fields to bring a warm meal to their hard-working family members.

The girls in the village always love beauty and dress neatly, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

However, there are very few people like Jiang Yueyue who possess both hard work and natural beauty.

Su Yu pretended to casually lift Yueyue's sleeve. At a glance, the white and delicate skin hidden under the coarse cloth came into view. He couldn't help but marvel in his heart and made his own plans.

She slowly withdrew her hand and said softly, "The pulse shows that there is nothing wrong with the body. Everything is normal inside."

Jiang Xiehe's face showed a bit of anxiety, and he asked quickly: "Then is there any way to solve these spots on her face?"

Su Yu did not answer directly, but asked: "Does Yueyue often work in the fields with you?"

Jiang Xiehe was stunned when he heard this, and didn't understand what he meant for a moment, but based on his deep trust in Su Yu, he answered honestly: "The child is kind-hearted and can't bear to see us working too hard. Since she was a child, she always rushes to help with farm work."

These words made Su Yu feel even better about Jiang Yueyue.

Being so filial, sensible, diligent and capable, his character must be gentle yet tough.

Su Yu continued to ask: "When did these spots begin to appear?"

Jiang Xiehe fell into reminiscence and said slowly: "It was probably when she was about five or six years old. The color was lighter at that time, and not as dense as it is now."

Su Yuxin understood that this was a typical sunburn caused by long-term sun exposure. The strong ultraviolet rays penetrated the surface of the skin, damaged the deep cells, caused pigmentation, and formed spots.

The skin protection mechanism is relatively weak during childhood. Once exposed to sun damage, if not cared for in time, the pigment will gradually accumulate and deepen over time, eventually solidifying into what is seen before our eyes.

So, Su Yu stood up and skillfully prepared the prescription: ten cents of realgar, two taels of realgar and sulfur, plus cnidium monnieri, and finally four cents of talcum powder. He carefully ground the ingredients into extremely fine powder, put them into a small porcelain jar, sealed it, and handed it to Jiang Yueyue.

"Every night before going to bed, take an appropriate amount of powder and mix it with a little rice vinegar to make a paste. Be careful to avoid the area around the eyes and lips, and apply it evenly on the face. Wait half an hour before washing it off, and then apply this special beauty cream before going to sleep. Perseverance will definitely pay off."

Su Yu's words were filled with unquestionable determination, like a warm light that illuminated the road of hope in Jiang Yueyue's heart. The beauty cream in her hand was delicate and warm, exuding a light natural fragrance. It was made from carefully selected high-quality lard and freshly picked persimmon leaves, which took several hours to brew.

This paste not only deeply nourishes the skin and locks in moisture, but also has the effect of fading facial blemishes and restoring skin purity.

Jiang Yueyue took the beauty cream that contained Su Yu's hard work with both hands, her eyes sparkling with gratitude, and whispered softly: "Thank you, thank you so much."

"You're welcome, we are friends."

Su Yu smiled gently in response, his brows revealing his appreciation and concern for Yueyue.

This girl is usually taciturn, but she always shows her tenacity and filial piety in silence. Her facial features are delicate with an unyielding tenacity. Once those annoying spots are gradually faded, she will definitely be a recognized beauty by everyone in the village.

Su Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that any lucky man who could marry such a beautiful woman in the future must have accumulated blessings over several lifetimes.

Jiang Xiehe, who was standing by, looked at the hope that had just appeared on his daughter's face. He was so excited that he quickly took out a few silver bills from his arms, intending to pay for this unexpected favor.

However, Su Yu gently waved her hand to refuse, and said sincerely: "There is really no need to do this. Just consider this as my way of repaying you for taking care of my horse before. It will take at least a hundred days for her face to fully recover. After this bottle of ointment is used up, you can come to me for a new one. It won't be too late for me to collect the money then."
