Chapter 235: Mother, You Look So Beautiful

235. Chapter 235: Mother, you look so beautiful

Qiao Sheng ignored them, turned around and went to wash up.

Their house has a dedicated washroom; the water is drawn from a mountain stream, flows down through a bamboo tube, then follows a buried bamboo tube outward.

The only inconvenience is that the water is cold.

It's fine to wash on a hot day.

On a winter day it's a bit cold.

Now the weather makes washing just right.

Qiao Sheng hadn't finished rinsing her mouth when Shi Lin walked to the sink beside her to wash his hands; there were two sinks, one for each of them, just right.

"Still want to touch?"

Shi Lin asked Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng kicked out a foot: "Compared to touching, I now want to kick you!"

Shi Lin dodged quickly.

Qiao Sheng didn't actually hit him.

Shi Lin stopped provoking Qiao Sheng; he took a basin and a cloth from the side and continued wiping with water.

Qiao Sheng only rinsed her mouth; her face had already been washed and tended, and now it looked a bit better than before. She didn't recover all at once, fearing Xiao Shitou and the others would suspect.

During breakfast.

Shi Jin noticed Qiao Sheng's face looked better than yesterday, and asked Shi Yun: "Shi Yun, how long will Grandma's detox pill take to clear the poison in Aunt Qiao?"

"It varies by person; I can't say for sure—fast ones take two or three days, slower ones about ten days."

Shi Yun wasn't very sure either.

Qiao Sheng kept his words in mind.

Qiao Sheng didn't recover that quickly; it took about eight days before her current appearance emerged. Curved willow-like eyebrows, eyes shining like stars, and skin so white it seemed to glow, made people instantly dazzled.

"Mother, you look so beautiful!"

Xiao Shitou saw his mother's face as white as a peeled egg, got so excited that he ran over and stopped practicing martial arts.

Shi Jin and the others also ran over.

"Aunt Qiao, you are truly beautiful, like a fairy."

Shi Jin stared at Qiao Sheng without blinking.

Isn't that exaggerated?

Has he ever seen a fairy?

Shi Ren wanted to retort to Shi Jin, but thinking that he has been constantly ignored by him, any words that reached his mouth were ultimately swallowed.

"Indeed, quite beautiful."

Shi Yun said, "Aunt Qiao, my grandma's disciple is as beautiful as you..."

Shi Jin, hearing that, shouted, "What are you doing, you! Want to compete with my San Shu for a wife? I'm telling you, there's no door, not even a crack!"

Upon hearing that,

Shi Yun replied at a measured pace, "What do you mean competing with your San Shu for a wife? I'm not the one marrying. Did Aunt Qiao ever say she liked your San Shu? No, right? Since that's the case, what's wrong with me introducing my grandma's disciple to her?"

"You stinky brat!"

He pried at his corner right before his eyes.

"How daring!"

Shi Lin clenched his teeth.

Qiao Sheng noticed, opened her mouth and asked, "Shi Yun, you said your grandma's disciple is good-looking; what does he actually look like? How old is he this year?"

Shi Yun thought for a moment and said, "He has a pair of handsome vermilion phoenix eyes, taller than Uncle Shi Lin, and he's twenty‑five this year."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Shi Lin began, "So old? Still unmarried at that age, he must have health issues. Qiao Sheng, how could a man like that be any better than me? Look at me, my body…"

"Shut up!"

Qiao Sheng thought that if she didn't interrupt Shi Lin, he might say something inappropriate for children.

Shi Lin fell silent instantly.

Shi Yun said from the side, "Uncle Feng has no problem; he just doesn't want to marry that early, so he hasn't. But if he sees Aunt Qiao, he might change his mind. He's not really old; he's only a few years older than Aunt Qiao."

If Qiao Sheng weren't here,

Shi Lin would definitely drag Shi Yun out for a beating, to teach him which words are appropriate and which are not.

Qiao Sheng, seeing Shi Lin so angry she wanted to knife Shi Yun, said, "Shi Yun, thank you for worrying about me, but Aunt Qiao isn't considering any of that right now."
