Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 90 Su Tao

Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Su Tao

He knocked on the courtyard door for quite a while but there was no response. Shi Er felt slightly disheartened.

Could it be because he didn’t accept her purse and now she’s upset?

Just as he was feeling regretful, he heard a girl’s voice from behind him.

"Why... Why did you come back?"

Seeing him standing at her doorstep from afar, Shen Miaomiao felt her heart pounding non-stop. They had all begun heading toward East Mountain, but her mother mentioned she had forgotten something and asked her to return.

If she had known she would bump into him, she would have definitely run faster!

"I... I came back..."

Shi Er was a bit tongue-tied, unsure of what to say. Seeing the curiosity in the girl’s eyes, he suddenly blurted out, "I... I want to marry you."

Shen Miaomiao froze, looking at Shi Er’s expression strangely.

Did he think she was just a village girl and wanted to tease her?

Even though she did like him, who would say such things privately?

"I...I am smitten with you." The seventeen-year-old boy said, his gaze was resolute, as if promising her the universe.

"I want to marry you and make you my wife."

Seeing his serious expression, Shen Miaomiao ignored gender propriety, tiptoed, reached out to touch his forehead, and remarked, "You don’t have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Her voice was not quiet, and hearing it, Shi Er immediately began to panic. He feared she thought he was making fun of her, so he hurriedly explained, "I’m telling the truth. I haven’t had much contact with women since I entered the military camp with my father when I was thirteen. These few days, I...I felt happy whenever I saw you. This morning, I didn’t deliberately ignore your purse. I was just confused about my feelings for you."

Hearing his words, Shen Miaomiao was somewhat doubtful. He hadn’t understood his feelings just now, but in less than a moment, he had figured it out?

"I’m not good with words, but, but I really didn’t lie to you." Shi Er’s face turned crimson with embarrassment, he was already struggling with articulation, and now found himself even more flustered.

His elder brothers had told him before that if he found a girl he liked, he should make his feelings known. If the girl reciprocated his feelings, he could not betray her sincerity!

"This is something my mother gave me, I’m giving it to you now, you...keep it. I...once I’m done with my current task, I’ll come to your house to ask for your hand in marriage!"

Seeing the jade pendant he stuffed into her hand, Shen Miaomiao couldn’t help but chuckle.

When the young girl laughed, her lively features lit up, and Shi Er found himself somewhat captivated.

"Do you really like me?"

Shen Miaomiao tilted her head and asked. Seeing the affirmation in the man’s eyes, she responded seriously, "Take back your jade pendant. If you truly like me, then go home and inform your elders first before saying such things."

Shi Er simply nodded in bewilderment, his eyes sparkling even brighter at Shen Miaomiao’s words.

"It’s my fault, I was too hasty. Once this task is complete, I’ll come with a matchmaker to propose!"

Shen Miaomiao was suddenly at a loss for words. Could it be that he seemed normal, but was actually a fool?

"Wait for me! I’ll return with Shen’s brother for the New Year, I’ll definitely give you an answer then!"

Shi Er didn’t linger any longer, but handed over his personal jade pendant to Shen Miaomiao and rode his horse to catch up with Shen Wenchen and the others.

He could not allow his personal matters to delay everyone else.

Watching the young man ride away, Shen Miaomiao’s face gradually turned red.

He said he wanted to marry her!

Her feelings were not unrequited!

Su Tao, who was outside Lihua Village, was covered in dust stirred up by Shi Er’s horse.

Watching his figure gradually disappear, she felt a burst of anger.

"What kind of person is that! Who rides a horse without looking at the road!"

While complaining, she adjusts her clothes.

The All-Purpose System, somewhat impatient but still maintaining its calm, reminds her: "Host, it has already been a month. Why haven’t you completed the first task yet?"

Su Tao was already in a bad mood. Hearing the System say this made her even more irate. She put her hands on her hips and snapped back, "Damn it, you said I’d have a good identity. But when I arrived, I became a village girl! There are no decent men around here. How am I supposed to do your damned task!"

The All-Purpose System responded coldly: "In your last life you were 26 and sick until your death with no one to look after you. Now you’re 16, young and beautiful, and you have me, the all-purpose system. Apart from being a bit poor, what else are you dissatisfied with? I am only responsible for making you fulfill tasks, not for assigning you task targets."

Su Tao’s face contorted in displeasure. After listening to the System, it twisted even more.

What does it mean she was sick all over!

If it weren’t for that woman! How could she have died so miserably!

Not only has she become a village girl, but she also has to do this bullshit task!

How can she do anything with these men in the village?

"If you’re not satisfied, I can unbind from you. I’d just lose a bit of time while you’d lose your chance to live."

"Give me three more days!"

Su Tao’s face was twisted, but she had no choice but to endure and couldn’t just let the System unbind from her.

She has to live!

Having wiped the dust off her face, Su Tao continued her journey into Lihua Village.

A month ago, she died in a hospital and found herself bound to this all-purpose system, and she ended up in this place.

Although she used to frequent groups of men, she has read novels. All those heroines were either princesses or queens, while she ended up a peasant girl!

Thinking about her so-called parents, she felt disgust.

They claimed they wanted the best for her. Isn’t it just for her to marry the village head’s son so they can receive the wedding gifts?

The almighty Su Tao wouldn’t marry that pauper scholar!

She just stole ten taels of silver from home and ran away.

As Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng walked on, they saw a girl in front standing with her hands on hips, muttering to herself. The two exchanged glances before continuing their journey.

This girl must be mad, they ought to stay away from her to avoid being swindled.

Because they were worried about being swindled, the two brothers quickened their pace as they passed Su Tao.

Su Tao, who was originally grumbling about the system, had a spark in her eyes as she noticed the two people next to her.

Isn’t that damn system urging her to do a task right now? Here is her chance.

Seeing that the two men were tall and handsome, she suddenly came up with an idea, pretended to fall, collapsed to the side of the road, and cried out: "Oh no, my foot~ Can anyone help me~"

Seeing the two men paused in their steps, she felt a sense of triumph and made her voice even more delicate: "Ouch, my foot~"

Lin Yicheng turned to Lin Ercheng and said, "See, I told you just now, if we walked slower, we’d be framed by her."

Lin Ercheng nodded, tightened the carrying pole on his shoulder and continued on his way with his older brother.

The carrying pole was filled with rabbit skins and dried meat and other grains.

Last time, they had learned to make rope traps from their sister, caught a lot of game, and processed the rabbit skins. Their mother asked them to bring some dried meat and other stuff.

Seeing the village entrance getting closer, the two brothers simply started running to get to Fat Ya’s house earlier for a drink and rest.

Su Tao’s face turned black.
