"Hong Mei, I also heard that bathing in the moonlight at night can lighten your skin."
Another educated youth in the room suddenly spoke up.
Li Hongmei's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
That educated youth shook her head. "I just heard it from the village elders. They say that bathing in the moonlight lets you absorb the essence of heaven and earth, cleansing you of impurities and leaving you pure."
She whispered the last part.
The moment she finished, Chen Ruoyu smacked her.
"What are you talking about! That's complete nonsense."
'You can't just say things like that!'
The other girl immediately covered her mouth. "I was just making that up. Hong Mei, don't take it seriously."
Li Hongmei nodded, but she had taken it to heart.
At Village Chief Xu's house.
After Xu Wenwan got home, she ate dinner and went to her room.
Chen Xiumin didn't say anything.
Chen Xiaoli and Yu Fangfang were utterly disgusted with their sister-in-law.
