Aunt Zhang and her daughter were both stunned.

Shu Yu explained, "I came from Dongan Province. Before I came, there was a very popular ointment that could remove scars in our prefecture. The ointment is very effective. I’ve seen people with scars on their faces fade away after using it."

Zhang Pingning’s face finally showed a slight fluctuation. It would be best if the scar on her face could be removed.

However, she quickly calmed down. "That kind of thing must be very expensive." It was not something they could afford now.

Shu Yu said, "It’s indeed very expensive, but I happen to have two bottles in my hand. They were given to me by someone else. However, the scar removal cream is still in the Dongan Province, so I can’t bring it over. However, if Miss Zhang can wait, I can write a letter to the Dongan Province and ask someone to send it over."

She sighed as she spoke. "However, I’ve just arrived. If I write a letter rashly, I might not be able to send it out. At least one or two months later."

Aunt Zhang immediately said, "There’s no rush. If there’s such a scar removal cream, we can wait for as long as we want. It’s just that we don’t have much money on hand. Maybe..."

"It’s okay. I don’t want money. It’s just that I’m new here and want to build a good relationship with the neighbors. I saw that Auntie Zhang was kind and easy to talk to, so I brought this up."

Aunt Zhang immediately laughed. This lady was an honest person. She also told them clearly that she wanted to test the waters and have more people to help her in an unfamiliar place.

This was not a problem. Aunt Zhang did not reject it.

Even Zhang Pingning, who had been on high alert, relaxed after hearing this.

Thinking that the scar on her face could be removed in the future, she was more or less excited. She could not help but ask Shu Yu a few more questions.

Mr. Zhang, who was in the house, was speechless. Why didn’t one of them come back, and the other didn’t come back?

Mr. Zhang couldn’t help but stand up and leave. He narrowed his eyes and called out to them, "Do you guys still want to eat dinner?"

Aunt Zhang and Zhang Pingning immediately fell silent and looked at Shu Yu with slight embarrassment.

Shu Yu stroked her forehead. "Look at me, I’m so talkative. I’ve delayed Aunt’s meal. You guys can go back. I have to go get water too. It’s getting dark. It’s not safe to fight later."

Shu Yu was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, just as she turned around, she was pulled back by Aunt Zhang.

Shu Yu was stunned. "What’s wrong, Auntie?"

"Miss Shu Yu has just arrived. There shouldn’t be anything to eat, right?"

Shu Yu said, "This... I originally wanted to go to the foot of the mountain to see if there were any wild vegetables or something. My house is at the foot of the mountain and it’s close."

"Silly girl, the sky is getting dark. It’s too dangerous for you to enter the mountain alone. Wait here, I’ll get you something to eat."

"Eh? No need, I..."

Before she could finish, Aunt Zhang had already pulled Zhang Pingning into the house.

Not long after, she was holding a few stalks of corn, a sliced pumpkin, and a small handful of dried sweet potatoes.

"Auntie doesn’t have much good food at home. I can only give you this much. Don’t mind."

"This, this is too much. I can’t take it."

"Take it." Aunt Zhang held her hand down. "I know the rules. There’s no food for the first day. You’ll all have to starve. We still have to work tomorrow. Eat at least a little and you won’t get sick from exhaustion." She was still counting on her scar removal cream.
