The noise outside the house gradually died down. By then, Chu Xiang has had enough food and drink, and lay down again. The pain relievers worked. She felt much better now, but she was still tired and weak. She would be incapable of doing anything if she were to go out, so she might as well lie down and rest, just to clear her mind.
When Chu Xiang was about to fall asleep, Grandma Chu came in to check on her and changed the medicine for the wound on her face. Grandma Chu's hands were particularly rough. She was used to doing farm work, hence the way she changed her dressing wasn't at all gentle. Chu Xiang frowned in pain and opened her eyes to avoid her.
"Grandma, I'll do it myself."

Grandma Chu put the medicine in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "You're awake. The doctor said, you'll be fine when you wake up. Take the medicine yourself. Look, you couldn't even walk properly and ended up in such a mess. What are you going to do with such a big scar on your face?In the future, you can only marry the kind of widower with kids, you know?"
Chu Xiang dawdled, not applying the medicine on her face. Upon hearing her words, her eyebrow twitched subtly. Was acquiescing to Chu Lan? Was she really going to plot against her? She lowered her eyes and said, "What's so great about marrying a widower and helping him raise his children and family? Instead of going to someone else's home and work as a slave, it is better to do more work in our family. That way, you and Grandpa can be more relaxed. Now that lands are all under the ownership of households, I will be considered a laborer when I get well. Going to work in someone else's house won't help our family, right?"
Grandma Chu was momentarily dumbstruck, then she frowned and said disapprovingly, "What are you talking about? Do you mean to say you're not going to get married? You are eighteen, and are already old. If you don't marry, you will be the butt of jokes and will be labeled an 'old maid'. By then, even our family will become the laughingstock."
Grandma Chu didn't allow Chu Xiang to say anything in retort. She patted her quilt twice and continued, "That's enough. Don't worry about this. I, your mother and your aunt can help you search. I'm sure we'll find you a good match. I don't want you to be wronged. Apply your medicine quickly, while I ask your mother to get you some porridge to drink."
After Grandma Chu finished speaking, she rushed away. She didn't give a damn if Chu Xiang had anything to say. At this time, if she were a simple teenage girl, she probably would have completely fallen into Grandma Chu's trap, thinking that she cared about her.

Disfigurement was initially a frightening accident, and could render someone out of her wits. At this juncture, when Grandma Chu said that she could only marry a widower and be a stepmother, she would naturally be more panicked and helpless. Later, if Grandma Chu said she could marry into the Yin family, the Yin family, which was the worst choice before, would become the best pick all of a sudden. By then, maybe the young lady would be thinking that her family was kind to her and appreciated them in turn.
Chu Xiang shook her head. No wonder the original owner left without saying a word when she knew that she was dead. She was totally devoid of nostalgia.
Chu Xiang sniffed the medicine and figured out that it was filled with ordinary medicinal materials, which were entirely ineffective. She simply took the medicine she made from her space, smeared it on her wound, and then covered it with the black medicine that Grandma Chu gave her.
When she was done, the original owner's mother, Li Yuezhen, came in with half a bowl of gruel. "Eat some food. You just woke up, so don't eat too much, just fill your stomach."
Chu Xiang was full herself, so she didn't care that there was too little gruel. She took a small sip from the bowl and tasted it. Sure enough, it was the same as the original owner remembered. It was barely edible. There wasn't a wisp of aroma, and the taste was poor. Noticing that Li Yuezhen was looking at her, she raised her head and looked like she was drinking porridge, but she actually emptied all of it into the space trash can.

She handed the empty bowl to Li Yuezhen and "weakly" said, "Mom, I'm dizzy and my face hurts. I want to sleep for a while."
"Okay, then go to sleep." Li Yuezhen frowned, turned to leave, but couldn't help but turn around and mutter, "Why do you think you got disfigured? What are we supposed to do about it? You got such a low score this time, so don’t even think about going to college. See, if you had listened to me the year before last and married that kid from the Elder Liu's family, everything would have been all right now, you know? You were just too stubborn and refused to listen. How can you help your brother in the future?"
"Didn't you always say that my brother would back me up in the future? Now that I, the sister, am in trouble, it's just the time for him to take care of me. I'm depending on him for the rest of my life. He is the indomitable child of our Chu family, the only seedling." Chu Xiang lay back and carelessly retorted with displeasure.
Li Yuezhen was rendered so speechless that she didn't know how to argue for a while. In order to let Chu Xiang help her brother, she said a lot of things like this, but wasn't that to let Chu Xiang help Chu Xin? Why did Chu Xin not benefit from anything, but had to take care of Chu Xiang's affairs first?

Chu Xiang closed her eyes and said, "I'm dizzy and disoriented, so I'm going to sleep for now."
What Li Yuezhen was about to say was stuck in her throat once more. She called Chu Xiang twice. Seeing that Chu Xiang was motionless, she thought that she had fainted. She slammed the door angrily and left.
This family was terrible, and it wasn't suitable to stay here for long. In this era, the affection for elders had a great restriction on one person, and the rules of the brigade were also restrictive. Among these various restrictions, she must find a way to make herself comfortable and free.
It was the first time that Chu Xiang came to such a place, so her mind turned fast. First of all, she must leave this house. They weren't her family, so there was no need for her to worry about them.
