Mother Pan waved her hands excitedly and said, "I thought the same thing at first, but after I asked Jiajia, she told me that her third sister-in-law added medicinal herbs that can help improve our health. So, after I started using this whitening cream, I no longer feel headaches or have trouble sleeping."
Since she was in a good mood, she was more generous than usual. She scooped a little cream with her nail and smeared it on the back of her sister’s hand while saying, "Here, try it on your skin, and you will see the effect."
As soon as the cream touched her skin, the aunt felt a soothing cool sensation instantly. She used her fingers to rub the cream evenly on her skin for a moment.
Everyone watched her hand with curiosity. When they saw that the cream didn’t leave a powdery layer on her skin, they were surprised.
Normally, whitening creams made the skin look whiter because they left a layer of powdery cream on the skin after drying. So, they expected the same result from Lu Jueyu’s whitening cream.
Mother Pan’s sister was surprised that the cream absorbed so well and didn’t leave a sticky or powdery feeling on her skin. Her skin looked brighter and smoother, without any strange white layer.
She looked at her sister and said, "Sister, this cream is amazing! It didn’t feel sticky, and my skin didn’t look like I had smeared flour on it at all."
When everyone heard this, they reached out to touch the aunt’s skin. When they felt how smooth it was, their eyes lit up.
One of Mother Pan’s cousins looked at the jar with greed in her eyes and said with a smile, "Cousin, do you have more of this cream? If you do, could you give me a jar?"
As soon as she finished speaking, one of Mother Pan’s sisters-in-law added, "Sister-in-law, if you have more, I’m willing to pay for it. Although it’s smaller than the ones sold in the department store, I’d pay double the price."
Everyone was taken aback by her words. However, after thinking about it, they realized the price she offered was reasonable. After all, purchasing a jar of whitening cream from a department store requires an industrial coupon and it costs around 20 yuan now.
Since this whitening cream was homemade, it didn’t require such a coupon. Moreover, the rare materials used justified the higher price.
"Aunt, I also want a jar," one of Mother Pan’s nieces said.
Following her words, the room filled with clamors of others expressing their interest. Seeing this, Mother Pan laughed inwardly, but she maintained a neutral expression.
Feigning reluctance, she said, "Everyone, it’s not that I don’t want to share something so good, but the ingredients for this cream are too rare. Even if you have the money, it’s not easy to obtain."
Those who understood the rarity nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, the more selfish individuals interpreted her words as an unwillingness to share, believing she wanted to hoard the cream to make herself stand out.
After a brief silence, one of Mother Pan’s cousins-in-law spoke up, "Sister-in-law, can you at least ask your in-law for me? If it’s possible to get a jar, I’m willing to wait, even if it takes a few days."
