Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Big Villain Teaching the Little Villain a Lesson (3)

“You always made me smash the plates. I don’t want to do it anymore.” Jiang Xiaoman was determined.

“……” The system went silent.

It was as if there was a hint of comfort in its heart? Relief that its purse was safe?

But when it thought about it, this wasn’t right either.

It was clearly determined to cultivate a little villain!

The system decided to learn from the bitter experience and decided that it would be firmer from now on and not be easily led astray anymore.

But there was a prerequisite for all this. That is, wait until Jiang Xiaoman finished paying back the points…

–

The system helped Jiang Xiaoman remember the day when Grandma and Uncle were supposed to come home. Two days later, Jiang Xiaoman carried a small chair and sat at the side of the road to wait for them.

That way, Grandma and Uncle will definitely see her right away!

She was still holding the iron box containing the candies in her arms. There were nine candies left inside, all of which she had especially saved.

In the past, every time uncle came home, as long as he brought her delicious food, she would lose all her anger. She would even help speak on behalf of her uncle, so Grandma would not beat him.

The system said that this was called, ‘when you take someone’s food, your mouth becomes soft5’ and ‘when you take someone’s gift, your hand becomes short5’. If she took things from her uncle, then she had to help him in return.

If she gave her uncle her treasures, he would definitely obey her.

Jiang Xiaoman opened the iron box and repeatedly counted, confirming that there were indeed 9 candies inside.

Nine, it should be enough to make Uncle obedient for nine days, right?

She would continue to think of another solution in nine days.

Jiang Xiaoman nodded in satisfaction and was just about to close the box, but suddenly her head hurt as someone grabbed her twintails from behind.

Necks may be broken and blood may flow, but her twintails alone were inviolable.

Other than Grandma, no one else may touch her head, not even Uncle. If her uncle messed up her twintails, she would be so angry that she would not talk to him all day.

What’s more, the person who grabbed her twintails used a lot of strength and hurt her.

Jiang Xiaoman’s grape-like eyes opened wide from anger. She turned her head angrily and saw a chubby little boy pulling her twintails.

“Let go!” Jiang Xiaoman guarded her twintails with one hand and angrily said, “If you bully me, I’m going to tell Grandma!”

This little boy was called Zhou Haiyang, and he was the strongest boy in the whole town.

He was the king of the children, the strongest among them. Every day he liked to go around and make a ruckus everywhere. Jiang Xiaoman didn’t like to play with him, they were like oil and water6. Whenever they meet, he would make a pig nose gesture at her, and she would stick her tongue out at him. They were a thorn in each other’s side.

Zhou Haiyang was also still at an ignorant age. He could remember what his parents said, but he only understood half the meaning. “My mother said that your uncle won’t come back. You will be an unwanted child from now on.”

“No! You lied! Grandma said she’d be back today!” Jiang Xiaoman was angry.

“She lied to you.” Zhou Haiyang continued. “My mother said you are a broom star7 and a money-losing good8. Your grandma doesn’t want you anymore.”

Broom star and money-losing goods were all swearing words. Jiang Xiaoman didn’t swear, but she had heard of them before. She didn’t know what they meant, but she knew that they weren’t a good thing.

Her eyes were red with anger, and she felt terribly wronged.

At this time, the system’s voice suddenly sounded. It sounded faintly excited, as if seeing a mobile treasure vault. “Host, quickly teach him a lesson”

[Task: Bully Zhou Haiyang until he cries. Reward: Ten Points]

Jiang Xiaoman had not moved yet, so the system repeatedly advised her. “A good horse gets ridden by others, and a good person is bullied by others9. Aren’t you angry? Don’t you want to beat him up? Host, against bad guys, tears are useless. You’re the future big bad villain, and he’s just a little villain. Big villain teaching the little villain a lesson, that is just how things are supposed to be.”

5. Your mouth becomes soft so you can’t scold them, your hand becomes short so you can’t hit them. Basically saying that if you take their things, you have to be/can’t help being nice to them.

6. The original saying is well water does not interfere with river water (since they’re from different sources).

7. Broom star means an unlucky star. It originally refers to a comet, where the tail looks like the end of a broomstick. It will become relevant in a later chapter, so I’m keeping the original name.

8. A derogatory word for girls. On ancient times when you marry a daughter away, the family needs to provide a dowry, hence “money-losing”

9. In the original, the word for ridden and bullied sounds similar.
