MDMP Chapter 34.2

Zhao Jingcheng quickly went to find a mirror, but when he walked up to Zhao Suisui with the mirror, he hesitated. He turned his hand and hid the mirror behind himself. He said carefully: “Sister, it’s better not to look at it.”

When Zhao Suisui heard this, she felt even more serious and wanted to jump off the chair and grab the mirror in Zhao Jingcheng’s hand.

Zhao Jingcheng was afraid that she would fall again, so he quickly handed the mirror over and said, “Here it is, please stop moving.”

Zhao Suisui held the mirror with both hands and mustered up the courage to move her face toward it.

As expected, her face was reflected in the mirror, with wet eyelashes and tears all over her face. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was her forehead.

There was a big bump on the left side of her forehead. It was red, swollen, and ugly.

Zhao Suisui was originally a child who loved beauty. Looking at the ugly bump on her forehead, she couldn’t help crying again.

“Woo woo woo, I’m disfigured.” Zhao Suisui was extremely sad.

“Mom went to find some medicine. You’ll be fine soon after applying.” Zhao Jingcheng walked over and patted her back to comfort her.

Zhao Haoyang, who didn’t dare to say a word after entering the house, was also worried by Zhao Suisui’s cry, so he cautiously walked up to her and called out flatteringly: “Sui Sui—”

However, as soon as Zhao Suisui saw him, she looked away angrily and continued to cry.

Zhao Haoyang felt even more guilty. Looking at the swollen bump on his daughter’s head, he couldn’t help but regret his carelessness just now.

Just when he was about to do something to make up for it, the door to his home was pushed open.

“Sister Feng He, I found safflower oil. Do you need it?” Zhang Taohua’s loud voice sounded.

Just now, Feng He went to Zhang Taohua’s house to borrow medicine, but Zhang Taohua couldn’t find it. After Feng He left, she remembered where she had put the medicine, so she immediately sent it over.

However, Feng He had already gone elsewhere.

Zhang Taohua looked at Zhao Suisui’s forehead and sighed: “It’s so pitiful. How could such a beautiful little face get bumped up?”

Zhang Taohua had something to do at home, so she left the medicine and left.

Zhao Suisui became even more sad when she heard Zhang Taohua’s words.

Zhao Haoyang was helpless. Looking at the safflower oil left by Zhang Taohua, he suddenly became anxious and said cautiously: “Sui Sui, why don’t Dad rub it with safflower oil for you? After we rub the congestion away, it will heal faster.”

Zhao Suisui didn’t want to pay attention to Zhao Haoyang at first, but when she heard him say that she could get better quickly, she felt a little moved.

“Really, really?” Zhao Suisui finally turned her head and asked with a sob and accidentally cried out a snot bubble while speaking.

Seeing that his daughter finally paid attention to him, Zhao Haoyang nodded hurriedly.

“Really. Dad used to do this when he was injured.”

Zhao Suisui thought for a while and finally compromised as she wanted to get rid of this ugly big bump on her forehead as soon as possible.

So, she closed her eyes, mustered up the courage to move forward, and said with a heroic look: “Then, come on!”

Zhao Haoyang also went out of his way to wash his hands, wipe them dry, and then apply some safflower oil on his hands.

After applying the oil, he exhaled, thinking that he would be lighter later.

However, just when his hand was about to touch Zhao Suisui’s forehead, the door was pushed open again. This time, it was Feng He who came in.

As soon as Feng He opened the door, she smelled the smell of safflower oil and saw Zhao Haoyang’s hand touching Zhao Suisui’s forehead. She couldn’t help but scream in horror: “Zhao Haoyang, what are you doing!”

Zhao Haoyang immediately shrank his hands and stood up. He didn’t know where to put his hands for a while.

Seeing the expression on Feng He’s face, he replied humbly: “I’ll rub Sui Sui’s forehead with safflower oil to reduce the swelling…”

When Feng He heard this, her temples jumped. She held back her anger and said, “If I hit my forehead, can I just rub it with it?”

“Ah? No, can’t you?” Zhao Haoyang glanced at Feng He and lowered his head.

When Zhao Suisui heard the conversation between the two of them, her eyes widened in horror. She immediately threw herself into Feng He’s arms.

“Woo! Mom… Dad, Dad wants to hurt me!” Zhao Suisui complained loudly.

“I’m not, I didn’t!” Zhao Haoyang immediately waved his hand to deny it.

“He just whined. If Mom hadn’t come back, I would have been killed by him just now.” Zhao Suisui cried even louder.

“I’m not—” Zhao Haoyang continued to struggle to deny.

“Zhao Haoyang, get out!” Feng He pointed to the door.

In the end, Zhao Haoyang was kicked out of the house aggrievedly.

Even when going to bed at night, because Feng He had to take care of Zhao Suisui, she also kicked him out of the bedroom.

Zhao Haoyang had no choice but to go to Zhao Jingcheng and Zhao Suisui’s bedroom.

Likewise, Zhao Jingcheng blamed him for hurting his sister and refused to allow him to sleep in his bed, so Zhao Haoyang could only huddle in the small bed that Feng He had given Zhao Suisui for the whole night.

The next day, Zhao Suisui looked at the big bag, which had turned purple and turned uglier overnight, and wanted to cry without tears.

She held the mirror and looked at it again and again, vowing in her heart that she would never forgive her stinky father before the big bag disappeared!

 

*****

Basically, safflower oil is good for bumps (from the source I read). But, I don’t know why Feng He is so angry.

Anyone who knows about it, please enlighten me and leave a comment below. Thank you so much.
