Chapter 3: She's determined to seize this cheat code! (New book, please add to your bookshelf)
As soon as the word "but" was uttered, the whole family looked over as if by conditioned reflex.
Shen Xiuwen frowned, about to say, "What time is it? You're still throwing your spoiled princess tantrums."
Jiang Si spoke first, "Dad, I don't know when I'll be able to come back from this rural assignment."
“I remember my mother left me a piece of mutton fat jade before she passed away. I want to take this with me as a keepsake.”
Two years ago, when the movement first started, Shen Xiuwen used the excuse of not being too ostentatious to replace all the antique paintings, calligraphy, furniture and ornaments in his house with ordinary ones.
He also took away all of the original owner's jewelry and accessories.
Most of these items have already been secretly transported to Guangzhou.
But this piece of mutton fat jade was specifically reserved for Jiang Si by Jiang's mother.
Shen Xiuwen didn't dare to go too far, fearing that Jiang Si might go crazy one day and bring it up again, so he locked it in the safe.
Compared to what he had already acquired, this piece of mutton fat jade was really insignificant. Since Jiang Si had taken the initiative to speak, how could Shen Xiuwen refuse?
Soon, he took a sandalwood box out of the bedroom.
Jiang Si suppressed her excitement and carefully examined the item several times. After confirming that it was genuine, she quickly stuffed it into her pocket.
Shen Qingqing's heart suddenly felt flustered for no reason.
"Dad, my sister went to the countryside to seek refuge this time."
"Maybe we shouldn't bring this. I'm worried that if someone sees it, it might look bad..."
"Ha, that's ridiculous. When did it become your place to decide what's in the Jiang family's affairs?" Jiang Si sneered twice.
"I……"
Shen Qingqing didn't know what was wrong with her.
It's just a piece of mutton fat jade, nothing special.
But why did she feel so empty inside, as if she had lost something important?
Could it be that I've really gotten used to stealing things?
It's normal that Shen Qingqing couldn't understand it, after all, she hadn't awakened her self-awareness.
But Jiang Si is different.
After receiving the mutton fat jade, her joy was palpable.
It's important to know that this piece of mutton fat jade is not only a family heirloom of the Jiang family, but it is also the vessel for the female protagonist's golden finger!
However, in order to highlight the female protagonist's personal abilities, the novel's description of her "golden finger" (superpower/cheat) is quite vague.
Jiang Si only knew that it was a space, but she didn't know what was inside.
However, that's not important.
Since it belongs to the Jiang family, she's determined to seize this cheat code!
In addition, she also wants to fight for more rights for herself.
Perhaps because of the cheat code, Jiang Si spoke with much more confidence in what she said next.
"Dad, how much money are you planning to bring me back from this trip to the countryside?"
"Don't worry, I know you can't handle hardship."
Shen Xiuwen had discussed this issue with Lin Yueru a long time ago.
Bringing too much is inappropriate, but bringing too little is also unreasonable.
After discussion, it was decided to give her 2,000 yuan plus 200 jin of national grain coupons.
As he spoke, Shen Xiuwen took out a bankbook from the sandalwood box he had just been holding.
"There are subsidies for going to the countryside now, so bring the subsidy with you."
"There's 2,000 yuan in here, and I've also managed to exchange some national grain coupons for you."
“We’ll choose Heilongjiang Province as the place to go to the countryside. We’ve already looked into it for you. There’s less work in the fields there, and you can hibernate for several months of the year.”
Jiang Si couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted him, "Dad, you're giving me so little money, how am I supposed to starve in the countryside?"
"2000 yuan, is that not enough?"
"Hmm, few!"
Jiang Si nodded, looking quite self-righteous, and said, "You always say I'm lazy and don't know anything about farming. You don't expect me to work in the fields to earn work points, do you?"
"The Northeast is nice, but it's so cold there!"
"Shouldn't we prepare several quilts? And cotton-padded trousers, cotton-padded jackets, cotton-padded shoes, and cotton-padded socks? All of these cost money."
“My little dresses and leather shoes are no longer suitable for wearing in the countryside, which means I have to buy everything from top to bottom, inside and out.”
"Also, I heard from people in the factory that nowadays, educated youth sent to the countryside have to stay in large communal dormitories at the educated youth settlements, and the rooms are not even as big as our kitchen."
"No way! I want to build my own room."
"Look, building a house costs money, and buying furniture, pots and pans also cost money."
"When I go to the countryside, I want to buy a bicycle so it will be convenient to go out and buy things."
"We also need to buy a TV. We'll be hibernating for four or five months. It would be so boring without a TV."
"By the way, you need receipts to buy these things, and each receipt costs at least several tens of yuan!"
"And that's without even counting the watch and sewing machine..."
"Stop, stop—"
Jiang Si became more and more excited as she spoke, and Shen Xiuwen could no longer hold back.
"With the way you spend money, let alone 2,000 yuan, even 10,000 yuan wouldn't be enough for you to squander it all!"
Lin Yueru's face also turned very ugly. She originally thought that Jiang Si would obediently go to the countryside after hearing those words.
Unexpectedly, she dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount!
Regardless of whether doing so is in accordance with the rules, if she remembers correctly...
This girl has several watches!
"Sisi, have you forgotten? Don't you have several watches?"
Jiang Si didn't even glance at her. "Those watches are all foreign brands. Do you want me to die already?"
"Also, I'm talking to my dad, can you please stop interrupting?"
Shen Qingqing was still immersed in her low mood and didn't react for a moment.
But her two younger brothers were furious when they saw Jiang Si's attitude towards their mother.
"How could you do this? My mother has cherished you like the apple of her eye all these years, and you treat her like this?"
"Dad, say something!"
"You can't spoil her like you used to. Who spends that much money on a rural family trip?"
After the third child finished speaking, the eight-year-old fourth child chimed in, "That's right! She's just a little girl, why should she spend so much money? I don't agree!"
The fourth brother spoke too quickly; by the time Lin Yueru realized what he meant and tried to cover her mouth, it was too late.
"Smack—"
"Snap—"
Jiang Si rushed forward and slapped both of them hard across the face.
She might tolerate it until she gets the golden finger.
Now? Get out of my way!
The two brothers were stunned by the sudden slap: "You...you actually hit us?"
"Yes, that's exactly the kind of heartless bastards we're going to beat up!"
Jiang Si said coldly, "It seems you all ignored what I said yesterday!"
"Okay, then I'll say it again."
“You, and you, everything you’ve eaten, drunk, used, worn, and spent since you were little has belonged to the Jiang family! Even the place you’re living in now is our Jiang family’s old house.”
"You still disagree? You're nothing!"
"Let me tell you, I can spend the Jiang family's money however I want!"
"If I want to, I can throw money into the Huangpu River and let it make a sound, and it's none of your business to criticize me!"
"Waaaaah~~ I hate you, you bad woman."
The fourth brother burst into tears, while the third brother remained silent, staring at Jiang Si with a gloomy expression.
"Shut up! If you cry again, I'll break your legs and throw you into the Huangpu River to feed the fish!"
Seeing her son being beaten, Lin Yueru was both angry and heartbroken, and her tone was noticeably harsher than before.
"Sisi, Xiao An is still young."
"He's just being immature, why bother arguing with him?"
"If they don't know any better, then they should be taught properly. At such a young age, they keep calling others 'little girl' and 'bad woman.' I don't know where they learned that from!"
Jiang Si has no saintly heart. Those two slaps were just interest. Once she has a free hand, she will definitely return the favor with a big gift.
Having said that, ignoring the fourth brother's wailing and howling, he looked directly at Shen Xiuwen—
