Chapter 20: Petty People Take Revenge Immediately
"Ah? Oh, oh! Okay, okay!" This was an outcome Li Xinyue hadn't expected, and for a moment she didn't know how to continue the topic.
Jiang Jinshi was very satisfied with the response. He brought some thatch from outside to pad the floor and slept by the door just like that.
Looking at Jiang Jinshi, who was far away from her, Li Xinyue asked in a low voice: "Why don't you sleep inside a bit? It's easy to catch a cold at the door."
"It's fine, it just so happens that the room with Mom and Xiao Lizi doesn't have a door panel, so it's convenient for me to sleep at the door to guard it." Jiang Jinshi lowered his head and carefully tidied up his "bedding."
Since Jiang Jinshi said so, Li Xinyue wouldn't force it, and then the room fell into darkness.
Long after nightfall, Jiang Jinshi, who was lying on the floor, suddenly opened his eyes, got up carefully, and tried his best not to make any noise.
Looking at Li Xinyue, who hadn't been woken up on the bed, Jiang Jinshi walked out of the room on tiptoe, identified the direction by the moonlight, and walked towards the village.
After Jiang Jinshi left, Li Xinyue on the bed slowly opened her eyes, her eyes still holding some curiosity.
It's so late, where would he go?
Jiang Jinshi walked carefully all the way and touched his way to the vicinity of his eldest and second uncles' house.
The family separation only meant his family had been separated out; his eldest and second uncles and grandparents still lived together, along with his so-called brothers and sisters, as well as younger brothers and sisters.
A gentleman takes revenge in ten years, a petty person takes revenge immediately.
He was no gentleman; if he didn't take revenge for a grudge, he couldn't sleep.
Carefully climbing over the fence, he hunched his body in the chicken coop and observed everywhere.
His family had been separated for too long, and because they weren't well-liked, they rarely came here, which made him a bit unfamiliar with it now.
Before his family was separated, there were still several chickens raised in this chicken coop, all of which his mother had been taking care of. Now it seemed it had been abandoned for a long time.
Jiang Jinshi patrolled a few times, and finally found his target in the corner, smiled evilly, and touched his way towards the corner.
Reaching back, he took out the top-grade laxative sent by the system and fell into deep thought looking at the water vat in front of him.
Should he put the whole bottle in? Or should he put the whole bottle in?
There was no dosage instruction. He was afraid that if he put too little, it wouldn't work, and he was afraid that if he put too much, it would directly kill someone, which would be no fun.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Jinshi decided to trust the system's product and only poured half of the laxative.
When Jiang Jinshi touched his way back home in the dark, he finally slept peacefully. There was no way, he couldn't sleep if he didn't take revenge!
Li Xinyue, who was pretending to be asleep on the bed, was even more curious. In such a short time, including the round trip, it shouldn't be leaving the village. Could it be a secret meeting with someone?
With doubts, Li Xinyue also fell into a deep sleep. She hadn't closed her eyes since she crossed over until now.
No way, it was night when she crossed over, and she was on the mountain. Who would dare to sleep?
As soon as the sky brightened, Jiang Fu and Jiang Gui got up early.
"Da Ya, still sleeping? Get up quickly and cook."
Da Ya was Jiang Fu's eldest daughter. Due to the family's patriarchal thinking from old to young, after Jiang Jinshi's family moved out, she basically did all the chores in the house.
Jiang Fu had one son and one daughter, while Jiang Gui had two sons, which also led to Jiang Gui holding his head higher usually.
Jiang Gui complained to Jiang Fu with some dissatisfaction: "Eldest brother, I think your Da Ya is getting lazier and lazier. She still hasn't gotten up at this hour. Does she want to starve Mom and Dad to death?"
Hearing this, Jiang Fu's face looked a bit ugly. Originally, Da Ya was twenty years old and couldn't get married, and the fact that she was freeloading at home made him lose face. Now, under Jiang Gui's fanning the flames, his anger rose even more.
The Jiang family wasn't a big family either, with only three rooms, but the area of each room was more spacious than the room Jiang Jinshi was sleeping in now.
Before the family was separated, the three sons each had a room. After Jiang Jinshi's family was kicked out, the grandparents occupied the largest room and also held the grain lifeline of the whole family.
The two rooms were just divided equally between the two brothers Jiang Gui and Jiang Fu, but Da Ya was not qualified to live in the same room as her parents and younger brother. There was a small shed outside that looked like a dog house, which was where she lived.
Actually, it wasn't like this originally. At first, although Jiang Fu despised her for being a money-losing commodity, he also thought about helping her find a good husband's family.
He often nagged in front of Da Ya, telling her that she must often bring things back to the family after she got married.
A few years ago, there were some people who came to propose marriage, but Jiang Fu always complained that the other party's family wasn't rich enough, so after dragging it on and on, Da Ya became an old maid in the ten miles and eight villages.
The label of being snobbish, coupled with the fact that the whole family was notorious, meant that most families were unwilling to become in-laws with such people.
In recent years, no one had come to propose marriage. She had once been mocked by a pig butcher in the neighboring village, who said he would rather marry a woman from a brothel than the Jiang family's Da Ya.
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.
This also led to Da Ya's younger brother Er Dan, who was already sixteen years old, having proposed marriage many times without success.
Along with Jiang Gui's eldest son Jiang Wang, who was nineteen years old and had proposed marriage dozens of times, the matchmaker shook her head as soon as she saw his family.
Of course, all of this was blamed on Da Ya by everyone in the family, so the despised Da Ya was driven to the "dog house" outside the room.
Even this dog house was built by her picking up firewood herself.
Jiang Fu walked to the small shed with a gloomy face and kicked Da Ya, who was lying inside.
Da Ya, in pain, let out a weak wail, which not only didn't make her father feel sorry for her but instead brought a series of curses.
"I thought you, cheap girl, were dead. If you're not dead, get up and cook."
Da Ya struggled with all her might to crawl out of the small shed, but she really couldn't stand up. Her whole face was frighteningly pale, and the pants under her were wet with a yellow patch.
Jiang Gui, who followed, hurriedly covered his nose and mouth, shouting loudly for fear that others wouldn't know: "Da Ya, if you don't want to cook, just say so. Making it so disgusting, who can still eat?"
Hearing the sound, the family walked out of the room one after another. Grandpa Jiang stepped forward with a cane to ask, his crisscrossing eyebrows revealing his dissatisfaction.
"What are you arguing about early in the morning?"
Jiang Gui pointed at Da Ya and complained to Grandpa Jiang: "Dad, look at eldest brother's Da Ya. She doesn't want to cook, so she made herself so disgusting."
Grandpa Jiang walked up and took a look, hitting Da Ya's ankle with his cane.
Da Ya, in pain, couldn't stop her tears from flowing, but she had no strength to resist and could only lie on the ground crying, half-dead.
She didn't know why either? Ever since she scooped a ladle of water from the water vat to drink after going to the toilet last night, she had been having diarrhea until now!
Seeing that Da Ya really couldn't stand up, Grandpa Jiang finally concluded: "This money-losing commodity must be sick."
After a pause, he continued: "Then let the eldest daughter-in-law cook today!"
After saying this, Grandpa Jiang turned and left without looking at Da Ya again.
The eldest daughter-in-law, who learned she had to work, was naturally dissatisfied, but didn't dare to act out. She secretly pinched Da Ya's waist, spat, and cursed in a low voice.
"It was a waste to raise you so big, just causing trouble for me."
Jiang Fu helped his father into the room, and no one went to take care of the sick Da Ya. From beginning to end, no one mentioned going to invite a doctor to see her.
