After Li Hongying finished picking up pig manure, she was on her way home when she unexpectedly ran into Luo Jingyan, and she instinctively stopped in her tracks.
She stared at Luo Jingyan as if she had seen a ghost, unable to believe that such a coincidence would happen, that Luo Jingyan would be here too.
She rubbed her eyes with her dirty hands, and when she opened them again, she still saw Luo Jingyan.
"You, how did you get here?" she asked Luo Jingyan in surprise and anger.
Why should this jinx be assigned to her? She should be in the Northwest, living among the deserts and Gobi, enduring wind, sun, snow, and vicissitudes.
Luo Jingyan could never be better off than her.
She had been fantasizing that Luo Jingyan was more down on her luck and had a worse life than her. But now that she saw Luo Jingyan dressed neatly and with a fair complexion, she realized that Luo Jingyan must be doing better than her. That sense of superiority vanished in an instant.
Luo Jingyan chuckled and said, "What a joke! This world isn't your home. What business is it of yours where I am? You act like you're the emperor. Don't you take a good look at yourself and see who you are?"
Li Hongying didn't respond. At this moment, she forced herself to calm down and quickly analyzed the possibility that Luo Jingyan would appear here.
First, in the original book, Luo Jingyan lost her life due to a high fever, but now the other party is alive and well.
Could it be that the other person, like her, died and was reborn?
So, Luo Jingyan should also have a space-plundering system, right? Will she join forces with me to plunder Zhuang Feifei's space?
Secondly, why is Luo Jingyan here, here on a rural assignment? Her parents and she are all here, and Luo Jingyan is here too; everything seems too coincidental.
Therefore, she became even more certain that Luo Jingyan was also a reincarnated person with the ability to know the plot of the original book and knew in advance that Luo's father and mother would be sent down to this place. So, she signed up to come here to work in the countryside.
She recalled how cold Luo's parents had been to her before. Could it be because Luo Jingyan had told them what happened in Beijing, and they already knew that her family had taken their things and had clashed with Luo Jingyan and her siblings, so they harbored resentment towards her?
As for how their family had harmed them, they certainly didn't know.
After sorting through all this, Li Hongying finally understood why Luo's parents were not enthusiastic towards her.
She subconsciously ruled out the possibility that Luo Jingyan was a time traveler, because if Luo Jingyan had traveled from another world, her soul would not be related to her parents, and she would not have come all the way to the countryside to take care of them.
But there is another possibility: that Luo Jingyan's presence here was merely a coincidence.
If Luo Jingyan is here, then Luo Changtian must be here too.
Her main purpose in marrying into this place was to obtain Zhuang Feifei's space. If Luo Jingyan didn't have the space-plundering system, she could try her best to turn enemies into friends and live together peacefully.
After all, having another enemy means having another stumbling block on her road to success.
However, if Luo Jingyan has the same system as her, then they will be competitors, and she will not be polite to her.
She immediately summoned the system bound to her: "System, please check if the woman opposite me has a system like mine."
[I'm sorry, host. I can only sense the space, not the system.]
Li Hongying had to find a solution herself. After thinking for a moment, she asked Luo Jingyan, "Cousin, I didn't expect us to meet here. Have you already obtained the space on the female lead's body through the system?"
Luo Jingyan frowned: "What system? What female lead? What space? Li Hongying, what are you talking about? This is completely incomprehensible."
Li Hongying carefully observed Luo Jingyan's expression and found that she didn't seem to be faking it. She was secretly delighted that Luo Jingyan didn't understand anything at all.
Did Heaven give her nothing when she was reborn? Did she not even know the plot of the book?
That would be wonderful!
"Cousin, since you've been reborn, why didn't Heaven give you a system? That's so unfair."
Greed is human nature. When Luo Jingyan learns that she has been treated unfairly, she will definitely instinctively fight back.
But Luo Jingyan gave her a look as if she were crazy, and pointed at her head, saying, "Li Hongying, is something wrong with you here?"
Li Hongying felt that Luo Jingyan was like a native of this era in front of her, completely unaware of the future.
It seems she was assigned here by chance.
But did Luo Jingyan bring her here?
“Cousin, there’s something I want to thank you for. I was sent to the countryside in Taohua Brigade before, and later I married into Shengli Brigade. Thank you for sending me here, which gives us cousins a chance to reunite. But why haven’t you come to see me?”
Luo Jingyan secretly sighed that Li Hongying had really gotten smarter, and wanted to test whether it was Li Hongying who had brought her here.
"Li Hongying, do you think I like you that much, bringing you here to cause me trouble? From what you're saying, it seems you were sent to the countryside by someone else." Luo Jingyan was still wondering why this guy was here.
Li Hongying thought Luo Jingyan was right; Luo Jingyan really didn't need to bring her here.
“Cousin, my parents have both been arrested. I have no other relatives now. I know I've wronged you in the past, and I apologize to you here. I shouldn't have been so foolish as to be with that scumbag Zhao Wensong. If it weren't for me, you probably wouldn't have known he was such a scumbag. Jingyan, let's still be best friends, okay?”
Luo Jingyan made no attempt to hide her dislike for her.
"Li Hongying, do you think I, Luo Jingyan, am someone who can be coaxed back with a slap and a sweet treat? I've seen through what kind of person you are. Being best friends with you is impossible in this life."
At this moment, Li Hongying wanted to use Luo Jingyan to get closer to Zhuang Feifei, so she had to please Luo Jingyan.
"Jingyan, what can I do to make you forgive me? I really know I was wrong, please forgive me."
Luo Jingyan pointed to a wall on the street, "If you smash your head against that wall and die, I can forgive you; otherwise, forget it."
"Jingyan, think about it carefully. If we make up, we can take care of each other. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Forget it, being with people like you who like to cheat others, I don't know when I'll be sold out by you. Oh, I remember, I'm short of money right now. If you want to take care of me, give me twenty yuan." Luo Jingyan didn't ask for too much, to avoid making Li Hongying think she was too fake.
"I have no money."
"I knew you'd use this reason to refuse."
"I really don't have any money."
"No need to say more."
Li Hongying couldn't win over Luo Jingyan, and she was also afraid that Luo Jingyan would secretly harm her and ruin her plan to seize Zhuang Feifei's space.
So he threatened Luo Jingyan, "Jingyan, I know that your uncle and aunt are in the cowshed here. Since we can't be sisters again, I hope we can live in peace. Otherwise, I will tell other people about your relationship with your uncle and aunt."
