When Zhao Chunlan returned home, she saw her daughter sitting timidly in the corner with a swollen face. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears of heartache.

"Jiaojiao? What happened to you? Who... hit you?" How could her daughter be beaten like this after she just went out for a moment?

Zhao Jiaojiao suddenly threw herself into her arms. "Mom, look at all the injuries on my body. They were all inflicted by that bitch Qiao Xiawan. Didn't you take her out to get a marriage certificate with that idiot today? Why are you only coming back now?"

Zhao Chunlan covered her daughter's mouth, looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see Xia Wan. She lowered her voice and said, "Jiaojiao, don't talk nonsense, let's go inside!"

"Mom, wait..."

As he spoke, he pulled Zhao Jiaojiao into the house, but unexpectedly, as soon as he pushed open the door, he was kicked in the face. Zhao Jiaojiao was too fast to stop him!

As the foot landed, Qiao Xiawan's voice could be heard: "Haven't you had enough of being beaten yet? How come you never learn? Get out of here right now, I'm using this room from now on!"

Xia Wan heard the sound the moment Zhao Chunlan returned, and had been waiting for them to come knocking on her door! She was only one point away from the lottery, how could she possibly give up a point that was practically handed to her?

Xia Wan felt like a gambler, thinking of using ten points to try her luck in the lottery again.

So the moment Zhao Chunlan pushed open the door, he pretended not to know what was going on and kicked the person who came in!

At the same time, the system's electronic voice sounded in my mind.

[Congratulations, host, you have earned one point contributed by Zhao Chunlan. You now have ten points remaining. Please keep up the good work!]

"Mom, are you alright?" Zhao Jiaojiao disregarded her own pain and quickly helped her up!

"Oh, it's Aunt Zhao? Why didn't you knock?" Xia Wan asked dismissively.

Zhao Chunlan clutched her stomach, looking like she was in unbearable pain. Xia Wan felt wronged, since she had already held back her strength because they were allies!

"Qiao...Qiao Xiawan, what are you doing in Jiaojiao's room?"

"Then you'll have to ask your dear daughter. This room is mine from now on. Remember to knock before you come in, but if there's nothing important, it's best not to bother me!"

Xia Wan gave the mother and daughter a cool look: "My surname is Xia now. If you call me by the wrong name again, you'll get a beating!"

Zhao Chunlan clutched her stomach and pulled Zhao Jiaojiao away; she really dared not provoke this madwoman any further!

Just a few more days, just a few more days, and she'll be going to the countryside!

Zhao Chunlan pulled her daughter into her room, finally having a chance to ask, "What exactly happened? How did you offend that scoundrel again?"

"I...I didn't...water was spilled on her bed, and without asking any questions, she beat up all three of us. She even said she would live in my room from now on, and that I and Qiao Qiao should squeeze into that storage room!"

Her tone was full of guilt, but Zhao Chunlan was in so much pain that she didn't notice at all.

"What happened to the water on her bed? Did you spill it?"

How could Zhao Jiaojiao possibly admit it? After all, her mother had just warned her that morning not to provoke Qiao Xiawan: "No...no, it's Qiao Qiao...it's her..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Chunlan interrupted her.

"It really was that little bitch! I knew she was no pushover. It seems Qiao Xiawan was right; we've been led by the nose by Qiao Qiao all along!"

As her abdominal pain subsided, she was able to think about other things, and he held his daughter's hand, giving her some instructions.

"Jiaojiao, don't provoke her these next few days. Just bear with her. She's going to the countryside in three days, and she'll have a hard time! She'll never be able to come back to the city. Once she's gone, that job will be yours!"

"Going to the countryside? Wasn't it supposed to be marrying a fool? How did it turn into going to the countryside?" Zhao Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. How could her mother change her mind after just one trip?

In their family building, many people had gone to the countryside a few years ago, but when they came home to visit their relatives, they all looked very haggard.

The daughter of Aunt Zhao next door was even framed in the village and married a cripple! She was frequently subjected to domestic violence, and when she came back to visit her family last time, she was emaciated.

I'd rather marry a fool; at least I'd never have to worry about food or drink, and I wouldn't get beaten up!

"Qiao Xiawan said... Mom thinks she's right. If we only marry Qiao Xiawan off, Qiao Qiao will still have a chance to compete with you for the job. So, in order for you to stay in the city, we'll let Qiao Qiao marry a fool!" Zhao Chunlan told her daughter what Qiao Xiawan had said today!

Zhao Jiaojiao didn't believe Qiao Xiawan would be so foolish as to be willing to go to the countryside: "But she..."

Zhao Chunlan interrupted her before she could speak: "Don't worry, Mom has already seen her sign up to go to the countryside. Don't provoke her these next few days! The most important thing now is to solve your problem of staying in the city!"

Zhao Jiaojiao nodded to indicate that she understood. The thought of Qiao Xiawan being sold to the cripple when she returned to the village made her feel excited!

Qiao Qiao mentioned her adoptive parents' family more than once in front of them, saying that they were no good people and that Xia Wan would definitely not have a good time if she went back!

Qiao Xiawan, who was hiding in her room drawing lots, had no idea about the conversation between the mother and daughter, and of course, she didn't care. She was currently struggling with the system.

"You damn system, tell me what's going on here? Give me back my points and I'll spare your life!"

If this system weren't incorporeal, Xia Wan could have smashed the dog system to pieces with one punch!

The reason she was so angry dates back to a few minutes earlier.

After dealing with the mother and daughter, Xia Wan began her grand lottery operation.

She pressed the lottery button on the system panel, her eyes shining as she waited for the result, but what she received was a bolt from the blue!

[Host is currently participating in the Xia Wan lottery. Please wait patiently!]

[Congratulations, host Xia Wan! You've won a meat bun. Welcome to participate in the next lucky draw!]

[Host, silently recite "receive meat bun" to receive it anytime!]

Xia Wan was stunned for a while before she realized that she had drawn a meat bun!

"No way! You damn system, do you think I can't afford meat buns?"

Sensing Xia Wan's anger, the intangible system trembled in fear!

[Host, don't be angry. The meat buns the system rewarded you with aren't ordinary meat buns!]

Xia Wan laughed in exasperation: "Then tell me, how is this meat bun so extraordinary!"

It can enhance memory.

"Can it make me remember everything I see?" Xia Wan seemed quite interested when this was mentioned.

[One steamed bun definitely won't do! But the more meat buns the host eats, the stronger his memory will become. Maybe one day he'll be able to remember everything he sees!]

"Heh, you don't want to give me my points back, do you?"

system:……

This host is a sore loser and has a bad temper, so it's better for it to keep quiet to avoid getting involved!

"Little system, I'll give you a chance. Let me see what's in the shop. I won't ask for these ten points back!"

The system fell into a long silence, refusing to respond to anything Xia Wan said.
