Chapter Seven: The End
Whenever Yang Liu thought about how well Jiang Mi, that fat, stupid, and ugly woman, was protected by her family, and then thought about how she was about to marry Zhang, that old, ugly, yellow-toothed, lame man in the village, her jealousy almost overflowed from her eyes.
Why does she live such a good life?
So after learning of Wang Jie's death, she immediately went to the Wang family and told Li Jinduo about Wang Jie and Jiang Mi hiding in the reeds. She also encouraged Li Jinduo, saying that if her son went down to the underworld and was questioned by the King of Hell, he might not be able to be reincarnated.
After all, there has always been a custom in this area that people who die unmarried cannot be reincarnated unless they are engaged in a ghost marriage.
Therefore, using this as an excuse, she encouraged Li Jinduo to come and find Jiang Mi to die with him, because if it weren't for Jiang Mi, her son wouldn't have died.
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Li Jinduo came to cause trouble for Jiang Mi.
Finding a ghost marriage partner for her son would cost a lot of money, and since Jiang Mi is having an affair with her son, she is naturally the best choice.
Jiang's mother and Jiang Yan were furious when they heard Yang Liu's words. Jiang Yan even raised his hand to slap Yang Liu, but Yang Liu held her head high and said, "Go ahead and hit me! Even if you, Jiang Yan, beat me to death today, I will still say the same thing. It's clearly Jiang Mi who is in the wrong. Do you think that if you beat me to death, no one will know? Maybe the reason Wang Jie ended up in the ravine is because you threw him there."
As soon as Yang Liu said this, the villagers started pointing and gossiping about them.
"The Jiang family is a scourge. They should never have let Jiang Mi's grandfather into our village. It's one thing to seduce men in broad daylight, but now he's even caused someone's death."
"Absolutely. It's said that Jiang Mi's grandfather committed a serious crime and was demoted to this place as a commoner. He was a wicked man to begin with, so what good could his offspring possibly be?"
…
As they pointed fingers at the Jiang family, directly shaming them, the system's voice suddenly rang in Jiang Mi's mind:
[Detected overwhelming negativity towards the host; deducting 50 points from "Good Woman Value". Current "Good Woman Value": -1050.]
Jiang Mi frowned, realizing what was happening, and mentally retorted to the system, "Wait a minute. You haven't given me the rewards for completing the tasks before. Recalculate them for me."
System: How did this woman become so smart?
[Based on system calculations, the following reward is issued to the host: After rounding, the host's current "Good Woman Value" is -1000.]
[Reward Quest: One clue to a past life death. Clue: Willow; Bonus: 1 use of the Intimidation Skill (Note: Can make someone with ulterior motives tell the truth).]
Jiang Mi frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
The system was secretly pleased; it had only been greedy for a few extra points, and the woman would never notice.
As for Jiang Mi, she couldn't understand it, and she was too lazy to think about it anymore. After all, none of that mattered. What mattered was: "Why should my 'good woman' value drop just because others have a bad impression of me? That's not fair!"
[A good woman cultivates both inner and outer beauty, so the approval of others is also very important. Host, work hard to change the villagers' perception of you! Go for it!]
Upon hearing the system's words, Jiang Mi immediately gritted her teeth. This system was even more like a dog than the man-eating wolfhound at the east end of the village.
[Host's malice towards the system detected. Good Woman Value: -1]
Jiang Mi: She endured it.
[Please eliminate the villagers' malice towards you and quickly and properly resolve this malicious incident. Otherwise, your "good woman value" will decrease by 500, and you will be subject to humane annihilation.]
Jiang Mi frowned: "Humanitarian destruction?"
【Death!!!】The system displayed large, blood-red characters in Jiang Mi's mind. The two words, along with three exclamation marks, were dripping blood, which made Jiang Mi tremble in fright.
die.
She cannot die.
She hadn't yet changed her family's fate, but now that she had crawled back from the brink of death, she was determined to change their fate and give them a better life. She was willing to do anything for her family.
"Enough!" Jiang Mi shouted as they were still pointing and whispering, drawing everyone's attention.
Thinking of how badly Yang Liu had harmed her in her past life, she stood before Yang Liu with bloodshot eyes, staring intently at her, and mentally shouted to the system: "Use intimidation skill."
[Skill successfully used.]
A ray of red light refracted from Jiang Mi's eyes and fell into Yang Liu's eyes.
At this moment, Yang Liu felt as if Jiang Mi, who appeared in front of her, had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. If she dared to lie to her or say no, she would devour her.
Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of urine emanated from beneath her.
Yang Liu, who was nearly scared out of her wits, heard Jiang Mi's sinister words: "I've always been so good to you, why did you hurt me?"
Jiang Mi's voice seemed to have a magical power, forcing her to reveal her true feelings: "We are all women, so why is it that you, who are fat, ugly, and stupid, receive so much love from your family, while I, who am better than you in every way, have to be sold to Lame Zhang for a few taels of silver? I'm not convinced."
As Yang Liu spoke, her expression grew increasingly ferocious: "Since I'm not doing well, why should I let you be? I want you to suffer a terrible death. You didn't expect that you'd run into Wang Jie in the reeds, did you? That was my doing. What I didn't expect was that that bastard Wang Jie was more trouble than he was worth; he failed to harm you and ended up dead. But it's good that he's dead; I can use him to arrange a ghost marriage for you. The Wang family are all idiots; a few words are all it takes to sway them. Now I'll see how you turn the tables. Heh..."
At this point in Yang Liu's story, Li Jinduo could no longer hold back and rushed forward to slap Yang Liu hard across the face: "You bastard, you're the one who killed my son. I'm going to kill you."
The scene quickly descended into chaos.
Those who had been discussing the Jiang family also turned their attention to Yang Liu, pointing and whispering.
Huo Ran, who was hiding in the crowd, was originally going to make a move when everyone was about to attack the Jiang family. However, he did not expect that Jiang Mi would easily resolve this crisis. This made him look at Jiang Mi with more surprise.
She seems to possess a special ability, easily forcing someone to tell the truth. If this ability were used properly, then…
Suddenly, Jiang Mi had piqued all his interest.
"Master." Just then, the guard came over and whispered a few words in Huo Ran's ear. Huo Ran's expression changed. After giving Jiang Mi a deep look, he left with the guard.
After Huo Ran left, the farce ended with Yang Liu being beaten black and blue by Li Jinduo and then pulled away by the people of Qingyun Village.
After all, the Yang family is a prominent family in Qingyun Village, while there are only a few scattered households with other surnames. Moreover, the village chief is also surnamed Yang. It can be said that in Qingyun Village, offending someone with the surname Yang will not end well.
Even if others felt disdain for Yang Liu's actions, it was a discussion within the Yang family behind closed doors; they couldn't allow outsiders to bully them too much.
After the matter was resolved, Jiang Mi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, the system's ghostly voice echoed in her mind: [Please arrive at the back mountain before 19:00 (Wu Shi) and find the sweet potato.]
[Task Reward: Good Woman +10]
[Mission Penalty: 5 minutes of electric shock! (Powerful)]
At this point, a skull icon, blackened by the electric shock, was added to the image of the electric shock.
Jiang Mi felt a chill run down her spine just looking at the pattern.
