Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 28 Opening

The first customer who had just entered was a pockmarked woman, about fifty years old, with droopy eyes and a somewhat miserable look. But the woman standing before them now had a heroic look, sparkling eyes, and fair, radiant skin, looking like a woman in her early thirties.

"Is it a different person?" People around were talking about it.

"That shouldn't be the case. She was wearing this outfit when she went in just now. She didn't change her clothes or shoes, she just changed her head."

"I think it's just a trick. Young boss, why don't you take off her makeup and then we can see if it's the one."

The first customer was originally gloating over the commotion she had caused, but when she heard she was going to have her makeup removed, she immediately became unhappy and yelled, "I paid for it, why should I have to take it off?"

"It's her, that voice is right." The woman standing in the second position said, "I just spoke to her, that voice can't be deceiving, right?"

The onlookers were extremely curious. They were divided into two camps, half of them thought it was impossible, and the other half said it was just one person.

Su Yaoguang stopped their discussion with a smile: "Whether it's the same person or not, the second guest can go in and try it out and we'll know. By the way, the second guest can say something to the third guest, and after I finish putting on her makeup, she can exchange secret signals with you. If they match, then it's the same person. If not, then it's fake. Second guest, please get ready, we'll start right away."

"That's a good idea," the second guest said loudly, wanting everyone to hear her. She whispered to the third, fourth, and fifth person. "Well, if I say the same thing to you later, it'll be me."

The second guest was a young girl, whose appearance was rather plain because of a birthmark on her face. However, her features were still delicate.

Less than half an hour later, the second customer came out. She was younger and in much better shape than the first customer, so the effect of her outfit was even more stunning.

"Oh my god, this is even more impossible, right? Look at the skin, it's so smooth, even a baby's skin is no better than this."

"Beautiful, so beautiful! If it were true, and two cents turned into this, I would come here every day to change my appearance."

The second guest had also been amazed when she saw herself in the mirror. Hearing so many compliments, she felt both shy and excited. Because of the birthmark on her face, she had been shunned since childhood. She had reached marriageable age, but no one was willing to propose, making her the laughing stock of the village. Now, dressed like this, she looked even better than her most beautiful cousin in the village. Who would dare to say she wasn't pretty? It was only the birthmark that held her back.

"What's our code?" asked the third guest.

The second guest walked over with a smile and spoke a few words to them.

"is her!"

"It's so amazing!"

The second customer came back and said to Su Yaoguang, "I look really good like this. But once I take off this makeup, I go back to my old look. Boss, is there any way I can always look like this?"

"Your facial features are beautiful, but this birthmark is natural and cannot be removed. However, you can buy a box of this powder and apply it on your skin every day, and your skin will become as shiny as white porcelain."

"I want to buy it. How much?"

"This box of cosmetics costs three hundred coins."

"I'll buy it." She worked as a laborer in the city, earning five hundred wen a month. Three hundred wen seemed expensive to her, but she'd saved a small fortune, so she could afford it. "And one box each of eyebrow pencil, lipstick, and rouge." "Miss, you can try these small bottles. Each of these three is two hundred wen, and with the powder, that's nine hundred wen," Zhou Wangshu explained.

"Okay, I'll buy it."

Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu exchanged a glance. Su Yaoguang raised her lips and smiled softly, her eyes as bright as the stars at night.

The guests, who had been observing from the sidelines, became even more excited. With the two previous examples of the magic tricks, those waiting in line were eager to see what they could become. There had only been eighteen people in line earlier, but now it had become a long line, estimated to be fifty.

"Everyone, please be patient," Zhou Wangshu shouted. "Although there are only twenty low-price spots, five cents isn't expensive. We're a new product, so we're losing money to promote it, just to get everyone to know our rouge and powder."

Su Yaoguang, who was busy inside the black cloth, raised the corners of her mouth.

It seems that she has found herself a very good helper.

"Dear guests, do you like the clothes I'm wearing? I bought them from the clothing store in the back. The owner is very down-to-earth. If you're interested, you can go and take a look."

Since they have nothing to do anyway, they might as well help out at the garment shop behind. The owner of the garment shop can give them dividends after selling clothes.

Chun'e, who was watching from the sidelines, was even more impressed by the sensible "little girl" and felt a growing fondness for the two sisters. Sure enough, God doesn't treat kind people unfairly. Fortunately, she hadn't chased them away, otherwise she would have pushed the God of Wealth out.

The third, fourth, fifth... guests came out one after another.

Su Yaoguang's deft hands successfully captured everyone's interest. She was in charge of the makeup, while Zhou Wangshu was out selling the goods. It didn't take long for them to sell more than a dozen bottles.

They only made seventy bottles in total.

"Girl, we don't have your dexterity. Even if we buy it back, we won't be as good as you!"

"If you don't wear makeup, you can focus on your skincare routine. Makeup only adds color; the most important thing is to condition your skin. Let me tell you, this facial cream is really effective. Apply a thin layer to your face every day after washing it. Doesn't it smell good? The most important thing is, after a month, you'll find that your skin is becoming more and more delicate, and your wrinkles will become fewer. If you pair it with this clay, the effect will be even better."

"how much is this?"

"The cream is a bit expensive. The smallest one is five hundred wen, the medium bottle is one liang of silver, and the large bottle is two liang of silver. Ma'am, buy according to your needs. If you're not sure, buy a small bottle first and try it out. If you want a good deal, both the medium and large bottles are fine. The medium bottle is a little more than two small bottles. The large bottle is even more worthless, far more than four of the smallest bottles."

"I'll buy the smallest bottle first. If it works, I'll definitely buy the larger bottle."

"Okay, I'll wrap it for you." Su Yaoguang took a wooden box, filled it with facial cream, and gave it as a gift a necklace she made herself.

"You hit this? You have such a deft hand."

Su Yaoguang pointed at the clothes Zhou Wangshu was wearing and shouted, "Dear guests, these clothes were bought from the clothing store inside. You can go and take a look."
