Chapter 42 Other Ways to Make Money
"sugar!"
The Jiang family was startled, and Jiang's mother and husband barely managed to catch Jiang Mi.
…
When Jiang Mi woke up, it was three days later.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw her mother, who looked exhausted, sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Mother." Jiang Mi felt her throat was extremely dry, her voice was hoarse, and even uttering a single word made her throat feel sore.
Hearing Honey's voice, Mother Ginger was overjoyed and asked excitedly, "Honey, how are you? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
He then helped Jiang Mi sit upright on the edge of the bed, quickly poured a bowl of water, and fed it to her.
The warm water soothed Jiang Mi's throat, making her feel much better. Looking at the rosy sunset outside the window, Jiang Mi asked weakly, "Mother, how long have I been asleep?"
"You've been sleeping for three days! You've driven me crazy!" Mother Jiang complained, tears welling up in her eyes.
Jiang Mi learned from her mother that three days ago, she had taught Yang Liu a lesson, and then Yang Liu suddenly fainted. They had consulted many doctors, but none of them could find the cause.
Some doctors even said that Jiang Mi probably didn't have long to live.
These words infuriated Jiang's mother, who grabbed a broom and swept the person out the door.
Three days?
Jiang Mi's eyes dimmed, somewhat dissatisfied with the system's actions.
"I was just venting my anger, why are you treating me like this?"
Ever since she was bound to this lousy system, she has lost all her human rights.
Jiang Mi felt increasingly frustrated and wanted to cry but couldn't.
Although the system gave her a second chance at life, if she continues to be tormented like this, she will eventually risk half her life.
[If the host adheres to the system rules and molds her into a perfect woman, she can live out her old age in peace and live to be a hundred years old.]
Hearing this, Jiang Mi was furious: "I used my immense strength before, and nothing happened to me!"
Now, instead of punishing Yang Liu, the punishment has been intensified, causing her to fall into a coma for three days.
[All of the previous actions were in self-defense and endangered lives, so the system naturally assisted.]
Jiang Mi argued for a long time, but couldn't win against the system and even felt frustrated.
The system dismissed this, and even went so far as to further stab Jiang Mi in the heart, continuing to issue warnings.
[System penalties will gradually increase; please be aware.]
Jiang Mi's face turned green when she heard this, but fortunately, the system blocked her view, so she could avoid seeing it and getting annoyed.
Seeing her mother bustling around, asking with concern, Jiang Mi felt a warmth in her heart and asked, "Mother, how is Yang Liu doing now?"
With the combined power of the system and her own weight, Yang Liu will likely suffer a lot.
As a close friend, Jiang Mi had some understanding of Yang Liu's health.
Aside from having a small face and a sharp tongue, Yang Liu was physically weaker than the average farm girl.
Although she often did farm work, Yang Liu was always opportunistic and her endurance was naturally weaker than that of an average woman.
When Yang Liu was mentioned, Jiang's mother laughed and said, "Yang Liu is now bedridden. She has a broken rib, and her face is swollen like a pig's head. She looks terrible."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mi burst into laughter, thinking that Yang Liu deserved what she got.
If she had simply stayed within her bounds and not caused any trouble, she wouldn't have resorted to extreme measures like hitting people.
Now that he's been beaten up, he'll definitely behave himself for a while.
Seeing her daughter's gloating smile, Jiang's mother scolded her angrily, "You too, knowing that acting violently will lead to physical weakness, you still do it!"
The mother ginger has already adapted to the potential that ginger honey has suddenly unleashed.
They've probably figured out the pattern: Honey's fighting power only increases when her family is being bullied or when she's overly emotional.
Jiang Mi pursed her lips and touched her nose guiltily: "My daughter really can't swallow this insult! I can't vent my anger without teaching her a lesson."
Who knew the system would be so ruthless this time?
Normally, her body would have adapted to the previous electric shock force, and she wouldn't have fainted.
The system won't do anything that involves people.
The system belongs to an unknown organism and is not human.
This made Jiang Mi laugh.
It seems the system is stuck at this hurdle.
Then Jiang Mi learned from her mother that the Yang family had tried to extort a large sum of money from the Jiang family, but they were stopped by the villagers of Hongyang Village.
Jiang Mi's eyes dimmed; Qingyun Village would have to repay the Jiang family's debt sooner or later.
"I heard that the Yang family sold Yang Liu to a cripple because of the frame-up incident that disfigured her. The cripple is unhappy and has given them a month to recover and send her to him." Mother Jiang scooped up a bowl of porridge and fed it to Jiang Mi spoonful by spoonful, while gossiping with Jiang Mi about the events of the past three days.
I had previously felt some sympathy for Yang Liu, who was sold to a cripple at such a young age.
Now we can only say that she deserved what she got.
As the saying goes, snakes and rats share a nest; such venomous women don't necessarily have a lighter end.
Jiang Mi frowned slightly, and after thinking it over, she still spoke up to remind her, "Yang Liu has impure intentions and has tried to ruin my reputation time and time again. Mother, I'm afraid this woman will cause trouble again, so we should be careful."
Recalling the expression on Village Chief Yang's face when he looked at Yang Liu that day, Jiang Mi had a general idea of the relationship between the two of them.
She simply doesn't have the time or inclination to break through the barrier now.
She needed an opportunity, an opportunity to ruin Yang Liu's reputation and leave her with no chance of ever getting back up.
"Okay! You can rest for a while first."
Because Jiang Mi was in a coma for three days, the sweet potato planting process was also halted; now that Mi is safe and sound, Jiang Mu can finally plant the sweet potatoes with peace of mind.
"good."
As Jiang's mother left the room, Jiang Mi took out a small bar of soap from her system space and examined it carefully.
This thing may look small, but it works quite well.
After using it for a while, her skin became smooth and delicate, and even the rashes on her back disappeared without a trace.
If this product were to spread throughout the world, she might just make a fortune.
Jiang Mi's eyes darted around in their sockets as she made her own plans.
Sweet potato cultivation is seasonal and intermittent, and many villagers may continue to grow it in the future, reducing their income. They can find a way out by making soap.
But the system is stingy; after several tasks, it only accumulates a few bars of soap, and I don't know what they're made of.
In order to study soap in detail, Jiang Mi spent all her time searching for materials to make soap.
Night fell.
The family chatted happily about the future.
Qingyun Village.
Compared to the Jiang family in Hongyang Village, Yang Liu's life during this period was truly miserable.
In the quiet village, a figure lurked furtively near Yangliu Village, and only after confirming that no one was around did he climb in through a window.
"Who's there?" Yang Liu suddenly opened her eyes upon hearing the noise and turned to look towards the window.
"Hehe!" An old face suddenly appeared, and Yang Liu instinctively screamed.
"Hey!" Village Chief Yang quickly covered Yang Liu's mouth: "Don't shout."
