The Systemâs New Yearâs Money (3)
After experiencing so many unthinkable things, it thought that it would no longer be surprised by her hostâs behavior. Ever since it regarded this as a Buddhist mission and upgraded into a Buddhist system, it thought that nothing could affect it anymore.
But right now⦠it felt as if its brain was going to short circuit again!
Human children, what kind of horrible beings are they?!
It really couldnât stand it anymore!
The system almost burst into tears. âOf course I can, butâ¦â
After a while, the system reminded her. âDidnât you want to keep your points as life-saving insurance?â
In case you didnât know, no matter how the system coaxed her or intimidated her to make her more arrogant and use more points to enjoy life, she wouldnât spend even 1 point!
She wouldnât eat candies or biscuits anymore, and also stopped any other bad habits that used up points!
The host said that she was saving them to save her uncle or herself, in case she was beaten half-dead! They were very important things, did the host forget?!
It had to remind her!
Jiang Xiaoman rubbed her head, and said embarrassedly. âAlthough that is true, I havenât been beaten half-dead in the past year. Itâs not being used at the moment. Uncle is also very busy, so he doesnât have the time to run away from home. Besides, itâs only five points. Do you not like them?â
ââ¦I donât dislike them.â Only someone who has been in poverty truly understood the value of money. The system knew that even 1 point was very valuable.
Wuu wuu wuu. Host, youâre so kind. Wuu wuu wuu.
The system finally accepted Jiang Xiaomanâs New Yearâs money.
This year, it didnât give her New Yearâs money anymore.
One reason was that it really did not have any more points; it had to work hard to accumulate more points. The other reason was that Xiaoman said that she had grown up; she insisted that New Yearâs money was something the elders gave the juniors, so she couldnât accept it.
â¦and many other things.
Elders and juniors??? What did its host take it for??
The system was going to buffer again.
Jiang Xiaoman didnât know about the storm happening in the systemâs mind. She only knew that she had spent the points. Even though she didnât get anything, she was even happier than when she was exchanging them for candies.
She really had become a grown-up adult!
The system was still very small and miserable, being bullied every day. Aiya, there was no way around it. She could only give it a red envelope to chase away its misfortune.
Grandma said that New Yearâs money brought good luck. The system was so miserable before and was always caught in trouble. It must be because it didnât take her New Yearâs money.
Things would definitely get better this year!
On the second day of New Year, all the wives in the village went home to their maternal family. Without any children around, the environment quickly became tranquil.
Jiang Xiumei had no relatives to go home to. She was bored and went to the school cafeteria to warm the stove, hoping that the Kitchen God would bless the students with a delicious meal.
She had been doing this job for many years. Even though she was no longer working at the elementary school now, she still felt attached to it.
Jiang Xing was wandering outside again.
He went to find his brothers in the logistics team. His brothers formed a crowd following behind him, drinking and shouting. Everyone was just idling by.
Xiaoman was the only one left at home with nothing to do.
She was really bored.
Even Mrs. Flower was gone. She couldnât even feed the pigs even if she wanted to.
After hesitating for a while, Jiang Xiaoman wanted to call Yu Qingshi. But after thinking about it, this was the second day of the New year. Shouldnât he also be going back to his maternal family to visit his relatives?
Wait, did he have a maternal family?
Jiang Xiaoman tapped her head but couldnât figure it out.
While she was thinking, a guest came over to her house.
âXiaoman, are you alone at home?â
She knew the visitor.
Although she had only met him a few times, she knew that when Grandma cursed him, she had called him Hong Xingguo. He was supposedly her Granduncle.
What kind of thing was a Granduncle? Was it some kind of food?
