Zhang Xueyan, who had been brought back to Beijing by her uncle, was already in a bad mood. When she woke up, her face felt very uncomfortable.
She reached out to touch her face. To her dismay, she discovered many small pimples, instantly dispelling her morning grumpiness. Without even bothering to put on her shoes, she ran to the vanity table.
When she saw her face, she let out a piercing scream.
The scream almost caused Luo Yifen, who was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, to drop the bowl in her hand. She came out and shouted toward her daughter’s room, "What are you going crazy about now?"
She was starting to get annoyed with her daughter, who had been nothing but trouble since returning from the Northwest.
Zhang Xueyan was now too preoccupied to listen to what her mother was saying. "My face, my face! Oh, my face!" she cried.
Luo Yifen initially hadn’t wanted to pay attention to her daughter’s antics, but sensing the panic in her voice, she felt something was amiss. Without even setting down the bowl, she hurried over.
The door to Zhang Xueyan’s room was still bolted from the inside. In her urgency, Luo Yifen banged on it. "Yanzi, open the door! What’s wrong with you?"
Staring at her own face, Zhang Xueyan had forgotten to open the door and just kept muttering, "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Luo Yifen grew truly anxious, realizing something was definitely wrong. She quickly called out to her son, who was exercising downstairs, "Zi’an, go get your dad! Tell him to come back quickly!"
Zhang Zi’an looked up at his mother on the balcony. "Dad went to Uncle’s place. He’s probably on his way back now."
Seeing her son hadn’t moved, she urged, "I told you to go, so go! Hurry up!"
Zhang Zi’an had no choice but to frown and head toward his uncle’s house. He hadn’t gone far when he saw his father approaching.
He stood where he was and yelled, "Dad, hurry! Mom told me to call you home."
He was simmering with anger and had nowhere to vent it. And just then, his brother-in-law, Zhang Weigang, showed up.
