The child's clothes were full of patches, and a tad too short and small. Her wrists, ankles, and neck were exposed. Her clothes were very dirty, and her hair was in a mess, probably because she had tripped.
A few children had already rushed towards her, surrounding her while screaming and jumping.
"Ugly monster, carrying pigweed, so so pitiful, no food for you, falling down, disfigured face, when you grow up, no one will want you. Hahahahaha."
The little girl was surrounded by them, unable to advance or retreat. She lowered her head and clenched her jaw to stop herself from crying out loud. She covered her face with both hands and stood rooted at a loss.
In her panic, she tripped over her right foot and fell to the ground again.
The children roared with laughter, "Look, she fell. She falls every day. My mother said that her legs are no good and she's like her father. She will become a cripple in the future."
The little girl finally couldn't hold back her tears anymore, but her whimpers were suppressed.
In the next moment, she quickly got up and hurriedly put the scattered pigweed back into the basket.
If she didn't hurry up, the pigweed would be trampled by these children, and she would have worked for nothing today.
With tears still flowing down her face, the little girl's hands did not dare to stop.
Unexpectedly, as she was picking the pigweed up, a pair of fair hands appeared in front of her, helping her gather the pigweed back into the basket.
The little girl raised her head in a daze and met Shu Yu's gentle eyes.
Who was this? Such a beautiful sister, like a fairy.
Only then did the little girl notice that the mocking laughter had disappeared. The children who had surrounded her and blocked her way were now standing far away, staring dazedly at the scene in front of them.
Shu Yu was now very close to the little girl and realized that there was a scar on the latter's face.
The scar wasn't very big, but she was too thin and her face was sallow, which made the scar particularly clear.
No wonder those people called her ugly.
Probably sensing her gaze, the little girl quickly lowered her head and subconsciously pressed her hair down, trying to cover the scar.
Shu Yu smiled. "Don't worry. I also had a scar on my face back when I was young. It was gone when I grew up."
The little girl was stunned. "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Look at my face. Isn't it clean?"
In her past life, Shu Yu did have a scar on her face. It was because she was pretty. Although the leader of the gang wasn't a man of lust, he would still try to get his hands on the girls he was interested in.
Shu Yu had wanted to take revenge, but not in this way. It was much more reliable to become a confidant of the big boss than a woman who could be abandoned at any time.
So, she cut her face and disfigured it.
At first, the big boss was naturally unwilling to keep her by his side when he saw that Shu Yu's scarred face was not a good image in public, but Shu Yu was capable. The big boss's requirements were harsh, and ordinary people really couldn't meet them. Shu Yu learned everything quickly and did everything to his liking. She alone was as capable as ten people. It was just nice that the big boss didn't like to have too many people around him either.
Fortunately, he had already retired and did not need to appear in public much. In addition, with Shu Yu's makeup and hairstyle, the scars on her face could still be covered up.
However, the big boss still brooded over her scar and asked her to go to the hospital to get rid of it. Yet, Shu Yu was allergic to a certain ingredient in scar removal creams. As a result, not only did the scar not become smaller, but it even worsened to the point it almost destroyed her face.
At that point, the big boss was too lazy to care, but Shu Yu was still very experienced in the ingredients and production of scar removal creams.
