Chapter 232: 232. Chapter 232: Even if I become a nun, I will not marry you

232. Chapter 232: Even if I become a nun, I will not marry you.

As soon as Qiao Sheng spoke those words.

Shi Lin laughed: "You make me feel good no matter where you are…"

Qiao Sheng became completely even-tempered.

At dinner.

Shi Lin was even more exaggerated, constantly serving her dishes, as if he wanted to put all the food in her bowl.

"You've had enough, eat your own."

Qiao Sheng covered her bowl and refused to let him serve her any more.

Xiao Shitou was delighted, eating half a bowl more rice than usual tonight.

In the days that followed.

Shi Lin stayed at Qiao Sheng's house.

After his injury healed.

Shi Lin didn't leave either; he either helped Qiao Sheng pick vegetables at her restaurant or went to help Qiao Hushui and the others with work.

When Qiao Hushui and the others went to work in the fields, he also went to help.

Not long after.

The news spread through the village.

Qiao Sheng had a fiancé, and that person was none other than Shi Lin.

That day.

As soon as Qiao Sheng returned, she heard people gossiping about her.

"Is something wrong with that man's eyes? How could Qiao Sheng be good-looking? Even the ugliest girl in our village, Cuihua, is prettier than her! And she can't bear children—what's the point of marrying her, just to keep her around?"

"That's right."

The gossiping men were a few guys who, upon seeing Qiao Sheng and them arriving in an ox cart, fell silent and hurriedly shouldered their hoes and left.

"Mother, don't listen to their nonsense; in my heart you're the most beautiful."

"Exactly."

Xiao Shitou and Shi Jin said, one after the other.

Shi Yun couldn't help asking Qiao Sheng: "Aunt Qiao, didn't you take the antidote pill my grandmother gave you?"

She wondered how Ouyang Zhi had sent her these things; it must be related to him…

Antidote pill?

Shi Ren looked at Qiao Sheng and asked: "Aunt Qiao, is your face like this because you were poisoned?"

He was deep in thought.

If she didn't explain clearly,

he would likely think someone had poisoned her.

Qiao Sheng said: "Don't overthink it; here's what happened. Our family was poor, and back then I hadn't learned the skills I have now, so I saved food for my two younger sisters. I ended up eating wild fruits and got sick, which left me looking like this. But compared to before, my face has actually improved a lot."

"So that's how it is."

Shi Ren turned to Shi Yun and asked: "Shi Yun, can your grandmother's antidote pill cure any poison?"

"Probably."

Shi Yun replied offhand.

Upon hearing this, Shi Ren and the others urged Qiao Sheng to go home and take the antidote pill.

Qiao Sheng: "..."

Even like this, someone cares for her; if she were any better-looking, it would be unbearable!

Shi Lin, who was at home, knowing this, also urged her to take it quickly.

While urging her, he said: "You really have a big heart—you're poisoned and yet you won't take the antidote pill. Where is it? I'll go get it for you."

He did this not only because he didn't want Qiao Sheng to stay like this, but also not because he had forgotten that her face had already healed.

"I'll get it myself later; come over, I have something to ask you."

Qiao Sheng called Shi Lin to a secluded spot and asked: "What did you do and say in the village today?"

Upon hearing that,

Shi Lin coughed and said: "Today I heard someone say you're ugly, so I rebutted them, saying you're beautiful and that I want to marry you. Did they cause you trouble? I didn't hit or scold them."

How will this end if it goes on like this!

Qiao Sheng said angrily: "I shouldn't have let you stay here; you need to leave tomorrow!"

"What's wrong with me then?"

Shi Lin, feeling a bit hurt, asked Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng stared at him and said: "You're fine in every way, but I have no feelings for you. Don't think you can win me over this way—I tell you, even if I become a nun, I will not marry you!"

"You, Qiao Sheng, you're something else!"
