Qingyao asked Wang Dong to withdraw 3,000 yuan. Qingyao happened to have a passbook with 3,000 yuan in it, so she asked Wang Dong to go to the bank to withdraw the money and give it to Wang Chunyi.
But just as Wang Chunyi was about to receive the money, Qingyao suddenly said, "Sister Chunyi, it's not that I don't trust you, but this is a significant sum. We need to put it in writing. Isn't that right?" Wang Chunyi felt unhappy when she heard she had to write an IOU, and her brows furrowed unconsciously. But looking at Qingyao's cold eyes, which seemed to freeze her, and Wang Dong's expressionless face, Wang Chunyi could only grit her teeth and say, "Okay."
Qingyao then quickly fetched a pen and paper, and wrote a clear IOU on it, detailing the repayment date and the interest amount that would be charged if the payment was not made on time. Wang Chunyi's face immediately showed dissatisfaction when she saw that there would be additional interest for not repaying on time, and she said coquettishly, "Sister-in-law Qingyao, we are already acquaintances, why do you still have to pay interest? I will pay it back when I say so. Don't you trust Chunyi?"
Qingyao said calmly, "It's not that I don't believe it, I only believe in money." Wang Chunyi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she knew she had no choice but to sign the contract. However, she asked Qingyao to specify the specific interest rate on the document. Seeing Qingyao write 3%, Wang Chunyi felt happy again, because the interest rate didn't seem too high to her, so she signed her name excitedly.
However, she didn't see Qingyao's note on the back of the document, which stated that the interest would double every year. When she received the money, she was filled with the fantasy that she would definitely make a fortune and return the 3,000 yuan to Qingyao quickly. So, without even reading the details, she confidently and hastily signed.
When Qingyao saw Wang Chunyi, so happy that she lost herself in joy and took the money and left the Wang family's house, a meaningful smile appeared on her face. When Wang Dong's family saw Qingyao's smile, they were instantly terrified. The whole family immediately lowered their heads and continued to squat in horse stance, not daring to make a sound.
At this time, Xiaoyi couldn't help but ask, "Grandfather, why did you lend money to Wang Chunyi?" Upon hearing this, Qingyao touched Xiaoyi's head in a good mood and said, "It's easy to get money, but it may not be easy to pay it back." Xiaoyi didn't know what it meant at first, until he saw the series of actions of the ancestor, he was stunned.
Without hesitation, Qingyao decisively ordered a store to be opened next to Wang Chunyi's. Not only did this new store offer the same merchandise as Wang Chunyi's, but the prices were significantly lower. This move was like a sharp sword, piercing Wang Chunyi's body.
This meant that no matter how hard Wang Chunyi tried to run her business, whether it was a grocery store, a snack bar, or a clothing store, she always ran into a dilemma of few customers and overstocked goods, resulting in continuous losses. Every time she opened a business with high hopes, it ended in disappointment and losses.
The money was naturally delayed year after year, and was never repaid. As time passed, the debt grew like a snowball.
When Qingyao finally brought the account book to calculate the interest and principal, Wang Chunyi was stunned by the long, staggering figures. Her eyes widened as if they were about to pop out, and her mouth remained open for a long time, her face filled with disbelief and horror.
Of course, this was merely a small, insignificant gift from Qingyao to Wang Chunyi. The true gift came when Qingyao planned for Wang Yi to torture Wang Chunyi to a point worse than death. Xiaoyi witnessed the Old Ancestor's actions in this first small world and was terrified. Deep in Xiaoyi's heart, there was only one unwavering thought: Never provoke the Old Ancestor, or else you'd die without even knowing how.
Qingyao was completely unaware of Xiaoyi's inner assessment of her. She was intently preparing to sow a second seed of hatred in Wang Yi. That was the truth behind Wang Yi's grandfather's death. His death wasn't an accident, as everyone believed, but rather a deliberate act. And the culprit behind this tragic outcome was none other than Wang Chunyi.
System Xiaoyi was unable to uncover the truth behind Wang Yi's grandfather's death due to its own limitations. After all, Wang Yi wasn't the host, and Xiaoyi couldn't find out anything about anyone other than the host. Therefore, Xiaoyi was powerless to uncover the true cause of Wang Yi's grandfather's death.
But who is Qingyao? She possesses a magical Xuantian Mirror, which can know everything about past and present lives, and even foresee the future. Qingyao cleverly uses the Xuantian Mirror to see the details of Wang Yi's grandfather's death.
That day, Wang Chunyi was in the mountains, desperately hoping to catch some small wild birds to take home for a snack. Unexpectedly, she stumbled into a wild boar's territory, enraging the animal, which attacked her frantically. In a panic, Wang Chunyi desperately ran for her life, right where Grandpa Wang Yi was concentrating on gathering medicinal herbs. Before Grandpa Wang Yi could react, the reckless boar had pushed him off the cliff. Wang Chunyi, however, had taken advantage of the confusion to escape.
Wang Yi's family and the villagers in Wangjia Village believed that Wang Yi's grandfather had died after accidentally falling off a cliff while picking medicinal herbs, but they had no idea that the culprit behind this was actually Wang Chunyi. This was the second "gift" that Qingyao had carefully prepared for Wang Yi.
Qingyao had Xiaoyi steal a piece of jewelry from Wang Chunyi's room that she often wore. However, Wang Chunyi hadn't been wearing it recently. She placed the jewelry, a familiar piece, on the cliff where Wang Yi's grandfather had died, giving it a worn-out look. She then had Xiaoyi place a note on the table in Wang Yi's living room. Her grandmother was seriously ill and wouldn't leave her room during this time, and the note was meant only for Wang Yi to see.
Sure enough, when Wang Yi returned home from work, she found a note on her desk. It read, "Your grandfather's death wasn't an accident. Go to the spot where he fell off the cliff, and perhaps you'll find the truth." Wang Yi's eyes narrowed at the sight of the note. She didn't want to believe it, but then she remembered that her grandfather had been collecting herbs in the mountains for years, never once having any mishaps. Why had something happened that day? Wang Yi folded the note, put it in her pocket, and headed back up the mountain. Before leaving, she grabbed a machete from her grandfather's house, a weapon he'd hidden away to protect against wild animals.
