The tractor bumped along the muddy road, and the eyes of the people on the vehicle unconsciously glanced at Shen Chumo. Her hair was jet black, shiny, and smooth, like satin. Her small face was as white as snow, as delicate and warm as mutton fat jade.

Her nose was small and straight with beautiful lines, adding to her delicate features. The slightly upturned corners of her mouth carried a faint smile, like a flower blooming in spring, sweet and charming.

"How did Shen Chumo grow up to be so beautiful?" Wu Lili, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but ask, "Shen Chumo, what do you usually use to wipe your face?"

Shen Chumo thought for a moment about the skincare products the original owner had, "I used snow cream."

Wu Lili sighed and said, "I also use face cream, so why is my skin still so dark?"

Shen Chumo replied earnestly, "You should pay more attention to sun protection and avoid sun exposure. Drink a glass of lemon honey water at night and eat more foods rich in vitamin C, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and oranges. If you persist for a few months, you will become fairer."

The girls on the tractor all perked up their ears and wrote it down: tomatoes, cucumbers, right? They'll show off a lot when they get back.

Wu Lili said happily, "Really? Shen Chumo, thank you. Um..." Wu Lili blushed shyly and said, "Can I play with you in the future?"

For some reason, Wu Lili found Shen Chumo particularly pleasing to the eye today.

"Of course you can. I don't have many friends, and I thought you all didn't like me," Shen Chumo said, somewhat disappointed.

Wu Lili blushed slightly. She hadn't liked Shen Chumo much before because she felt that Shen Chumo was from a different world than her. Although they were from the same village, Shen Chumo always wore bright and beautiful clothes and rode a bicycle. Moreover, she had recently heard that Shen Chumo's reputation wasn't very good.

“The past is the past. Anyway, from now on we’re friends,” Wu Lili said cheerfully.

Shen Chumo smiled and nodded, "Okay, from now on we're friends."

The other girls gradually gathered around, saying, "Me too, me too! Can I be your friend?"

"Sure, we're all from the same village, so you can come visit me anytime."

"Shen Chumo, where did you buy this dress? I've never seen this style before."

"I made these clothes myself; they're not sold outside."

"Wow, really? Shen Chumo, you're amazing!"

"It's very simple. My mom can do it too. I learned it from her. I'll teach you when I have time."

Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the air along the way, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Chumo became the center of attention among the girls of Pinggang Village.

Shen Yuan had long been pushed aside by these girls. Looking at Shen Chumo, who was being fawned over by everyone, Shen Yuan almost bit her teeth to pieces.

In a daze, Shen Yuan seemed to see scenes from her past life—no, scenes even more terrifying than her past life. Just a few days ago, Shen Chumo had been praising her so highly that she considered herself extraordinary and looked down on these girls from the same village.

How could things have changed so suddenly? Could it be... that Shen Chumo... has also been reborn!?

Shen Yuan gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands. No way, it's strange enough that this kind of thing happens to one person, how could it happen to two people? Besides, why should Shen Chumo be reborn? She was so happy in her previous life.

It must have been yesterday's events that aroused Shen Chumo's suspicion. After all, it was Shen Yuan who personally dragged her into the house. Although Shen Chumo woke up in time and prevented more serious consequences, she probably still hates her intensely.

Shen Yuan was still trying to comfort herself when the tractor stopped at the entrance of the county town. After getting off, Shen Chumo glanced at Shen Yuan's pale face, curled the corners of her lips, walked to her side, and took her arm.

She said in a teasy tone, "Oh dear, cousin, why did you walk to the back all by yourself? We were just talking about going to the fabric store to buy some fabric after school tomorrow. Cousin, you don't have many clothes, it's time to get some new clothes."

Does she have money to buy fabric? Wang Ping usually wouldn't even spend a penny on her, so why would she give her money to buy fabric? Is Shen Chumo mocking her?

Shen Yuan was already in a bad mood, and this provocation made her shake off Shen Chumo's hand, saying fiercely, "What are you pretending to be kind about?"

Shen Chumo pretended to stumble, and Wu Lili quickly helped her up. Turning to Shen Yuan, she said, "Shen Yuan, what are you doing? Chumo is just trying to be helpful. Look at your clothes, they're all frayed. Making you a new dress is for your own good."

Shen Yuan hurriedly covered her cuffs, but the hem and collar of the garment were also frayed, making it impossible to cover up the damage.

Having lived a life of luxury since her marriage in her previous life, Shen Yuan was very concerned about her image. Now, a young girl had ripped that slap in the face, leaving Shen Yuan blushing deeply. She felt like everyone was staring at her, mocking her for not being able to afford a new dress.

"Shen Chumo, you just wait." After saying that, Shen Yuan stomped her foot, turned around and ran away.

Wu Lili scoffed, "What kind of person is she?" Wu Lili looked at Shen Chumo cautiously and said, "Chumo, I have something to tell you. You'd better not associate with Shen Yuan anymore. I heard her talking badly about you to someone else."

The girl next to me whispered, "Actually, I heard it too..."

"Me too..."

Good grief, so Shen Yuan is back from the dead and is just talking badly about her all the time, right? He's talking badly about her while befriending her, deliberately flattering her, and encouraging her to do bad things.

Wu Lili's cheeks were a little red, clearly it was the first time she had ever tattled like this. Shen Chumo held Wu Lili's hand, "Thank you for telling me. Sigh, I don't know why my cousin dislikes me. Yesterday she even..."

Shen Chumo hesitated, then Wu Lili pressed, "And what else?"

Shen Chumo recounted everything that happened yesterday, and Wu Lili angrily said, "Silly Chumo, Shen Yuan is deliberately trying to ruin your reputation. If you hadn't come back in time yesterday, who could say whether what Aunt Zhou Fang saw was true or false?"

Shen Chumo lowered her head, her eyes reddening. "But she's my cousin. How could she treat me like this?"

“I think it’s probably just jealousy,” Wu Lili said definitively.

"Chu Mo, as your friend, I will definitely help you get justice."

The other girls echoed this sentiment.

Shen Chumo shook her head, "No need, these are just minor matters. I will stop associating with my cousin from now on. Our focus should be on our studies. Don't let me affect your studies, or I will feel guilty."

This is the truth. Although Shen Chumo wanted to use these people to salvage her reputation, it would be her fault if she and these people became the kind of people who formed cliques to bully others.

Moreover, if Shen Yuan dares to complain to the teacher or even report it to the police, these girls will definitely be punished.

She should settle her grudges with Shen Yuan herself.

Seeing Shen Chumo's persistence, Wu Lili and the other girls thought that Shen Chumo was too kind. They secretly decided that if Shen Yuan dared to provoke Shen Chumo again, they would definitely expose what Shen Yuan had done.

Tuanzi wondered in her mind, "Mo Mo, the tone of your voice just now was so strange, it sounds like I've heard it somewhere before."

Shen Chumo laughed and said, "Silly dumpling, this is called taking the path of the green tea, leaving the green tea with nowhere to go."
