I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel

Chapter 83: Chapter 80: The Effects of Scar Removal Cream

Jiang Mingyue went to see her uncle again, visited his factory. Ever since she gave him two rabbits last time, Uncle Yang, the gatekeeper, treated her with special warmth, immediately making a call to bring her uncle out.

"Uncle, I brought you some food."

Jiang Zhengye immediately recalled the braised chicken and spicy rabbit diced by his little niece, that taste... tsk tsk tsk, alright, he decisively took an hour off.

"Let’s go, Ming Yue, to Uncle’s place."

Once Jiang Mingyue arrived, she realized that her uncle had prepared half a bag of walnuts for her.

"Take it back and eat it. I know you girls like this stuff."

"Thank you, Uncle." Jiang Mingyue indeed liked them, since snacks in this era were really subpar.

Jiang Mingyue told her uncle about Xiao Jiang Ran’s recent situation, then left him with a bag of rice, a bag of flour, naturally braised chicken and spicy rabbit diced couldn’t be missed, along with two pounds of mung beans, noticing that her uncle seemed to have some internal heat.

And a few sections of sausages.

Jiang Zhengye watched his niece take out one item after another without blinking, he was shocked.

"Yueyue, where did you get all these things?" Surely you’re not using all your pocket money?

"Oh! The rice, flour, and mung beans were given by the eldest cousin for me to bring to you. Uncle, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be on my way."

Speaking, she shouldered the basket and was about to leave, Jiang Zhengye looked at his niece’s efficiency with many emotions, recalling the past Jiang Zhenzhu, feeling she was just a straw.

"Ming Yue, wait a minute." Uncle quickly went into the room and came out again, then stuffed a wad of money tickets into her hands.

Jiang Mingyue was speechless: "Uncle, I have money!"

How much money could you possibly have? Jiang Zhengye naturally didn’t believe her.

"Take it, Uncle intended to give it to you anyway, this is my just-paid salary, I don’t have much more, but go and buy yourself something to eat and wear. Remember, only for yourself, don’t worry about Xiao Ran, it’s not like your mom would starve or cold him."

Jiang Mingyue: "..." Truly a biological father.

Unable to refuse, Jiang Mingyue had to take it, wondering how this uncle was thinking, he’d previously handed all the money to the old lady and received such treatment, yet he didn’t learn the lesson, why was he giving all the money tickets to her again?

"By the way, Uncle, how did your case end?" Jiang Mingyue remembered this matter.

Only then did Jiang Zhengye start to talk to her, but the outcome was somewhat unsatisfactory.

The arsonists Wudong and Cheng Wu were locked up in the detention center, but it caught fire the next night, both dying in the blaze, and the mastermind Liu Chu, who they implicated, refused to admit it. However, after the fire, when the authorities wanted to properly investigate Liu Chu, he had disappeared.

"Could the fire not be an accident, related to Liu Chu?"

"I don’t know, maybe just a coincidence."

Jiang Mingyue always felt that leaving Liu Chu around was a disaster, she had to face him head-on, yet he was nowhere to be found.

Coming out from the small alley where her uncle lived, Jiang Mingyue unexpectedly bumped into Xu Ya.

Xu Ya looked at her, wary: "What are you doing here?"

Not a hint of extra concern. Jiang Mingyue recalled that note: "Take care of yourself, our mother-daughter relationship ends here, let’s not meet again in this life."

Jiang Mingyue felt grateful that she wasn’t the original character, otherwise how heartbroken would she be!

While Jiang Mingyue was pondering how to respond, she heard another voice she didn’t want to hear.

"Oh dear! Mom, of course, she’s here because she can’t get by in the countryside and wants to ask you for money!"

Xu Ya suddenly switched from wary to angry: "Jiang Mingyue, I fed and clothed you, raised you well, and you took my daughter’s place to live a good life, yet my poor Zhenzhu suffered in the countryside. It’s good enough I didn’t make you compensate, yet here you are shamelessly asking me for money? How thick is your skin?"

Then Jiang Mingyue saw her supposedly noble elder brother finally came alive to mediate: "Oh! Mom, we can’t say that about Ming Yue, she had no choice. Country life is hard, after all, she got used to a good life, understandable."

Jiang Mingyue’s mood, which wasn’t good to begin with, worsened.

"A good dog doesn’t block the road!"

All: "..."

Ignoring them, Jiang Mingyue got on her bicycle and charged at them, indeed they all cherished their lives and quickly cleared the way.

Had they been so perceptive earlier, there would’ve been no problem!

Although Xu Ya realized there might be a misunderstanding, Jiang Mingyue’s actions immediately infuriated her again.

She pointed at Jiang Mingyue’s departing figure and cursed: "Jiang Mingyue, I raised you for eighteen years, how can you treat me like this? You ungrateful wretch, you’ll get your retribution."

Jiang Mingyue: The one you raised has already been murdered by your own daughter. Not demanding your daughter’s life in return is my last mercy.

The sky started drizzling again.

The black market should have people.

Jiang Mingyue immediately headed to the suburbs, familiar with the way, she entered the yard.

Aao enthusiastically rushed toward her, rubbing its furry head against her.

"Yo! You’re here!" It was Pan Zhoucong, hearing the commotion, coming out from the main hall.

"Boss Pan, is Aao willing to be transferred?" If Aao was kept under the soap tree, neither Liu Yinghe nor those in the second room would dare come close, its mere presence there was intimidating enough.

Pan Zhoucong was a bit jealous seeing that his benefactor’s eyes were only on Aao, not looking at him at all.

"Ahem... Mr. Jiang, do you notice any change in me?"

Jiang Mingyue snapped back to reality, looked up at Pan Zhoucong’s face, and suddenly her big eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.

"No way! Pan, you’re actually so handsome! Tsk tsk tsk, definitely a handsome uncle, not bad at all." In the future, you could live off your looks. And this scar removal cream is truly miraculous, even such an old long scar can be smoothed out, barely noticeable without a close examination, by the time the entire bottle is used, probably even a magnifying glass wouldn’t find it.

Pan Zhoucong was very satisfied with Mr. Jiang’s reaction, yet felt her focus was off.

"Mr. Jiang, your scar removal cream is incredible; you’re truly my benefactor. By the way, I have an elder from Port City wanting to know if you’d be willing to sell the formula, name your price, or we could collaborate."

Jiang Mingyue thought for a moment, the pharmacy’s medicine seemingly didn’t include formulas since they weren’t for mass production and sales, but she wasn’t sure.

"This medicine was also a concoction by an elder of mine, I’ll have to go back and ask."

"Alright, alright, I’ll tell him to wait a bit longer." Then she watched as the big shot Pan Zhoucong showed an expression unfit for his identity for the first time.

Jiang Mingyue felt she must’ve seen wrong, how could this black-market dealer possibly blush? Not a middle school student.

"Well, benefactor, I will definitely repay you. By the way, I’ve acquired some antique goods; would you like to have a look?"

Of course, she wanted to! This was her favorite.

Jiang Mingyue showed interest: "Sure, then Pan, please lead the way."

Returning to the courtyard where the antiques were hidden last time: "Benefactor, this courtyard is a gift for you."

This big shot, blushing like a elementary school boy, handed her a deed along with a bunch of keys.

"This... Pan, it was really just a slight effort, not worthy of such a big gift." This courtyard has eight rooms with a front and back yard, even a basement; though it’s on the city’s edge, such a large courtyard is still worth several hundred bucks.

The key isn’t about the money issue.

That bit of money to her was just the smallest change, something she could easily discard, but now houses were hard to buy, especially with the new policy just released, people from the countryside couldn’t even get a residence if they bought houses in the city, townsfolk were originally being pushed to the countryside, how could it reverse to let villagers rush into the city?

She currently had a rural residence, a matter she had been neglecting.

In fact, when the original character was in a coma after jumping into the river back then, under Jiang Zhenzhu’s instigation, Xu Ya not only emptied the original character’s room but also kicked her out of the household register, sending a notice to Jiang Family to come pick her up, Jiang Family not only received word but also her household registration transfer application.
