Chapter 3: PUA System, Almost Killed Grandma
"How do you talk to your grandpa? You're such an ungrateful little girl! You're such an ungrateful person!"
Old Mrs. Luo jumped up to defend her husband and grabbed a feather duster to teach Luo Xinxin a lesson.
"How about I go and break off the relationship now and add a few more charges against you?"
Luo Xinxin asked coldly, each word cutting sharper than a knife.
The fool who still hasn't realized the reality only knows how to bully others at home. She is not her original self and will not tolerate any anger from this old woman.
"I can't live any longer. Let a young man point his finger at my nose and scold me... I won't live any longer!"
Old Mrs. Luo cried and shouted.
"If you don't want to live, then go die and stop burdening me!"
Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes impatiently. This old woman was always threatening people with death. The one in the family who was most afraid of death was this old woman.
"Xinxin, your grandma is in a bad mood, please understand."
Luo Weian couldn't stand it anymore and sounded a little dissatisfied.
"I'm in a good mood now? Who will understand me? Stop talking nonsense and save my face!"
Luo Xinxin became even more impatient. They were not her biological grandparents, and they were just that to her original self. She was already very kind by being willing to take these two burdens to the northwest.
Luo Weian was speechless for a long time after being confronted. He sighed and said helplessly: "I don't have an antidote, but the potion will disappear automatically after half a year."
Luo Xinxin was so angry that she turned around and left, thinking it was a waste of her time.
It was only half a year, it passed in the blink of an eye, it went by very quickly.
"Master, has she hit her head and become stupid?"
Old Mrs. Luo asked in a low voice.
"Don't call me master anymore. It will be troublesome if someone hears you."
Luo Weian corrected his wife, saying that he was no longer a master since he had lost all his property and house.
Old Mrs. Luo also looked gloomy. Thinking of her bleak future, she couldn't help but feel sad and started crying again.
The two elders were wailing outside, while Luo Xinxin was sleeping soundly in the house. She didn't wake up until dark. After eating three big meat buns, she felt refreshed immediately.
Luo Xinxin checked the points balance and found another 7 points, which made her feel happy immediately.
"Tongzi, are you still alive?"
Life is not so good
The system is a little listless and it hasn't recovered yet. It is obviously a high emotional intelligence system, but the host it is bound to has a mouth that can eat arsenic and can poison itself to death with just one lick.
Fortunately, the background did not discover the truth. Every time the host spoke harshly to others, the background would determine that the task was completed, which made it feel a little relieved.
"As long as I'm breathing, it's fine. Tongzi, are there any other food in the mall? Like spicy dry pot, spicy grilled fish, braised pork, roast chicken, roast duck, steamed dumplings, etc."
Luo Xinxin was so greedy as she talked that her mouth was watering. It was definitely not possible to eat meat buns every meal as the food was too monotonous.
【Only three items can be opened temporarily】
“When will the others be opened?”
[The host turns the tide and changes his fate. The mall will open more products.]
The system answered in a formal manner.
Luo Xinxin understood. She had always been a punching bag in her previous life, so in this life she had to be proud and happy.
"Xinxin, it's time to cook!"
Luo Weian was calling at the door. He had come seven or eight times, and every time he came, Luo Xinxin was sleeping soundly. He was so hungry that he called for help.
Luo Xinxin opened the door, looked at him with a half-smile, pointed at the window, and said, "See? Just stand there and drink the northwest wind!"
"Your grandma and I can't cook."
Luo Weian had an ugly look on his face. He was repeatedly criticized by his granddaughter, and even if he had the best temper, he couldn't stand it.
But thinking that he would have to rely on his granddaughter for care in the future, he could only endure it.
"If you can't do it, just learn. Who is born with the ability? It's already this time and you're still acting like a master? Do you think your hat isn't heavy enough?"
Luo Xinxin walked to the kitchen with an expressionless face. There was actually a refrigerator there and a washing machine in the yard. No wonder she was going to be punished. She made such a high profile of it. If not you, who else should she punish?
There are a lot of dishes in the refrigerator, including seafood, meat, eggs, and plenty of seasonings. The living conditions are no worse than those of people in later generations.
"Wash the vegetables."
Luo Xinxin said something to the two elders and began to chop vegetables skillfully.
"It's enough if you can cook. Why do you want me to learn?"
Old Mrs. Luo muttered softly. She hated the smell of cooking fumes the most and hadn't been into the kitchen for decades.
[Teach grandma patiently and let her learn to wash vegetables. The mall opens green vegetables and rewards 3 points]
The system has released another task.
"After being a wife for so long, have you forgotten your origins? You didn't cook before you married into the Luo family? Can the accountant's family afford a cook?"
Luo Xinxin's ridicule struck deep into Old Lady Luo's heart. The old lady's biggest worry was her humble origins.
Old Mrs. Luo was angry and ashamed, her face hurt more than being slapped. Her background was the biggest thorn in her heart, and she really wanted to beat this disrespectful girl to death!
"Don't be sad about the passing of time at your age. Go wash the vegetables!"
"Just peel the edamame and don't even pound it!"
Luo Xinxin assigned work to the old couple, and neither of them was allowed to be idle.
Old Mrs. Luo wanted to curse a few words, but Luo Weian stopped her with a look.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Luo Xinxin made stir-fried edamame with snow mustard greens, mushrooms and greens, shredded pork with snow mustard greens, tomato and egg soup, and six fried eggs, two for each person.
"Cook so much, even mountains of gold and silver wouldn't be enough for you to lose!"
Seeing so many dishes, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but criticize.
"Then don't eat it. Save up a mountain of gold and silver and just eat peanuts!"
Luo Xinxin retorted casually and started eating.
"You better stop talking. If you don't finish all the food, it'll just give it away to others. You're getting more confused as you get older!"
Luo Weian couldn't stand it anymore and scolded him.
Old Mrs. Luo sat down to eat in a sullen manner and ate three bowls of food in one go. Luo Xinxin didn't make lunch, so she and the old man only ate a few pieces of cakes, which they had digested long ago.
After finishing her meal, Luo Xinxin threw away her chopsticks and went straight back to her room.
"Just wash the dishes. Be more conscientious when you do your work next time and stop being so arrogant!"
Luo Weian sighed and went back to his room.
Looking at the table full of dishes and chopsticks, Old Lady Luo almost bit her teeth to pieces. She went to wash the dishes cursing, but ended up breaking three of them and cutting her hand. She then cried for a while.
The next morning, Luo Xinxin asked Luo Weian for money.
"I went to the black market to exchange some national food stamps. We've used up all the cash at home. Taking it to the farm would be a disaster!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Yinzhang, give the money to Xinxin!"
Luo Weian nodded vigorously, his granddaughter still had her own ideas.
"All my money is gone, so I'm going to go to the farm and starve?"
Old Mrs. Luo was unwilling to do so. She felt uneasy without any money.
[Patiently reason with grandma and make her face reality. The mall opens rice and rewards 5 points.]
The system spoke again.
Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes speechlessly. People like Old Lady Luo are typical bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. If you talk to her nicely, she will just get in the way. So she has to use some ruthless tactics.
"Use your brain, okay? That's a labor camp. There are few good people and many bad ones. You're going there with a bunch of cash, expecting someone to rob you?"
Old Mrs. Luo looked hesitant, but still reluctant.
"I'll be in charge of the household accounts from now on. Keep all the money and tickets with me."
Luo Xinxin was too lazy to talk any more and went straight to Old Lady Luo's room. She smashed the copper lock on the box with a hammer and took out a biscuit box, which was full of Great Unity and a lot of food coupons.
She counted them and found more than 5,000 yuan in cash, 200 kilograms of national food coupons, some Shanghai food coupons, meat coupons, cloth coupons, etc.
Having so much money in the 1960s made him a worthy capitalist.
"This is my money, give it back to me!"
Old Lady Luo rushed over and tried to grab it, but Luo Xinxin pushed her away. "You're stupid and selfish, and you don't deserve to be the mistress of the house. Great-grandmother should have opposed it to the end. Look at the sons and grandsons you gave birth to. You've raised them all to be ungrateful!"
Luo Xinxin scolded everyone in the Luo family without any hesitation. She said that Luo Weian was obsessed with sex and married this stupid and selfish old woman. None of his children and grandchildren were promising and they were all ungrateful.
"If my father had any filial piety, he should have insisted on sending foreign currency back. That way, our family wouldn't have to go to the northwest. The Liu family next door is able to stay because they have a filial son who insists on sending foreign currency every year."
"You...I raised you too. Do you still have a conscience?"
Old Mrs. Luo was so angry that her lips turned white, and she pointed at her and cursed with a trembling finger.
"I have no conscience. I am also an ungrateful person!"
Luo Xinxin admitted it without hesitation, adding, "Mrs. Liu is well-educated and well-mannered, worthy of being a lady from a noble family. The son she gave birth to is a hundred times more outstanding than yours."
Mrs. Liu next door is Mrs. Luo’s lifelong imaginary enemy. She wants to compete with her in everything, but she can never win.
Luo Xinxin was in high spirits and wanted to say a few more words, but an alarm sounded in her mind.
[Host, please shut up. Grandma has one minute left before her heart attack. If she dies, both you and I will disappear.]
The system's voice was trembling with anxiety. These two old men were an important part of the host's mission to turn the tide, and they absolutely could not die.
[The author checked the information and found that after they had sufficient assets, they would receive a considerable salary every month, ranging from several thousand to several hundred, and as little as a hundred. Therefore, their early life was very wealthy and comfortable.]
