Shu Jiaying clearly stated that there were two main reasons why she couldn't get married at this time:

Firstly, the house where her father and her stepmother live now was left by her mother. It is absolutely impossible for her to give it up to someone who has bullied her since she was a child.

Secondly, Xu Liren said that the matchmaker for her was of good character. Usually, good character is synonymous with "stupid". It is even more impossible for her to marry a "stupid man"!

Although she knew that Village Chief Xu was doing this for her own good, Shu Jiaying still politely declined, saying, "I appreciate Uncle Xu's kindness, but I still have some self-awareness. Let me tell you the truth, Uncle Xu. Although the disease on my face is not contagious, it doesn't mean it can't be inherited. If I knew I had this potential, and I agreed to your arrangement to go on a blind date with another boy, what if I had another child like me in the future? Wouldn't that be hurting both myself and others?"

My mother probably saw this more clearly, so she put my name on the house deed early on, so that even if I don't get married in this life, I won't be worried about having no place to live."

"this……"

Village Chief Xu really had no way to refute what Shu Jiaying said. It seemed that he had not thought it through enough.

However, Shu Jiaying said that her face looked like that because of a disease. I wonder if this disease can be cured?

Village Chief Xu asked with concern, "Jiaying, since your mother was able to teach you how to identify medicine in your dream, did she tell you how to treat the disease on your face?"

Shu Jiaying naturally had no idea how to deal with the subcutaneous fat accumulated on her face, but since Village Chief Xu asked this, it seemed that he completely believed what she said.

This is the best way, as it will allow her to gain the trust of Village Chief Xu. Shu Jiaying knows that no matter what she does in the future, as long as someone raises doubts, Village Chief Xu will definitely come forward to help her resolve it.

Shu Jiaying smiled beneath her mask and explained truthfully, "Not yet. But Uncle Xu, don't worry. My mother has written down many difficult and complicated diseases in her notebook. As long as I study hard, I will definitely find a way to cure my facial disease."

"Well, Jiaying, eat your porridge first. If you have anything to say, wait until you finish your porridge and rest for a while."

Village Chief Xu said nothing more, put his hands behind his back, and left the house.

But Shu Jiaying kept looking at the back of Xu Lichang, because when Xu Lichang walked, his back seemed to be deliberately leaning forward, and his breathing was quite obvious, which seemed to indicate that there was some problem with his lungs.

However, Shu Jiaying was not sure, because these things could only be concluded after diagnosis. When she had the chance, she would definitely take a closer look for Village Chief Xu.

Shu Jiaying picked up a bowl from the table and filled it with white porridge. Before she could take a few sips, she heard the groaning of an old lady coming from the room.

Putting down the bowl, Shu Jiaying quickly ran towards the room on the right side of the main hall. When she saw an old lady in a dark blue cloth dress and with her hair hanging down like a gray shawl crawling on the ground, she gasped.

Because this scene is so weird, the shocking visual effect is comparable to today's horror blockbusters.

Until I saw the old lady raise her hand with difficulty and waved towards Shu Jiaying.

Only then did Shu Jiaying realize that she was not seeing a ghost, but the person she saw was the master she was supposed to serve - Grandma Xu!
