Chapter 113



Artificial Idiocy (3)

One day, she’s going to pull it aside and give it a beating.

Jiang Xiaoman refused to say anything no matter what. Jiang Xiumei was also helpless and angrily said, “Wow, Jiang Xiaoman. You’ve never been so disobedient before, and you never talked back to me. You’re not my dear baby anymore.”

Jiang Xiaoman snorted and said while sobbing, “Yes! I’m rebellious now!”

“……”

It was not a good thing for a child to be too smart. At times like this, it could make someone really furious.

Jiang Xiumei smiled furiously.

Xiaoman cried miserably, but she did not coax her.

This matter was too serious, and she needed to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, in the future she would go to the roof and take off the tiles.

Jiang Xiaoman cried all night, feeling very sad and aggrieved. The more she thought about it, the sadder she got.

She was now the little cabbage in the ground, swaying in the wind and drenched by rain, wanted by no one.

Grandma didn’t want her anymore.

Jiang Xiaoman cried all night.

The system couldn’t bear it anymore. It comforted her and said, “Host, don’t be sad. We’ll find other opportunities in the future—”

“What else are you looking for? I’m not going to look for it anymore!” Jiang Xiaoman said angrily. “I’m going to run away from home!”

“Host.” The system said, “This world is very harsh. Children who run away from home will not meet a good end. Calm down!”

Kidnappers were very terrible, and the system was really afraid that she would get hot-headed and actually ran away.

For now, it did not seem like Jiang Xiumei had any plans to destroy the jade pendant.

Oh well, they’ll just move on step by step. If it could survive an extra day, count it as an extra day of blessing. The system was prepared to accept its fate.

Right now, relying on the host to get back the jade pendant seemed to be a fool’s errand.

She couldn’t get the jade pendant back, and she also couldn’t run away from home. Wasn’t this such a hellish start?

Jiang Xiaoman fell into thought and finally calmed down a bit.

She still had another way. This was something that Jiang Xing taught her; rely on your parent at home, and rely on your friends outside. Grandma didn’t want her anymore, but she still had friends!

Jiang Xiaoman was very sad.

She got spanked twice.

This had never happened before.

Even when Grandma was really furious before, it was just a loud thunder with little rain3. But this time, it was different.

She was really spanking her! It hurt!!

Even when she howled with all her might, it didn’t work!

Jiang Xiaoman didn’t like Grandma anymore!! Wahh!!

She was so angry that she wanted to run away from home.

But she didn’t want to run away from home. She just wanted to hate Grandma a little, not forever.

She felt that she could only ask her little friend to take her in.

She wanted to let Grandma know that children also had feelings!

She wanted to let her grandma know that children also had a temper!

She couldn’t just spank her all she wanted!

She was going to show her up good!

Jiang Xiaoman made up her mind and used the trick the system taught her, ‘soft mouth, short hands4’. She was going to bring a lot of delicious food for her friend Yu Qingshi. That way, it would be hard for him to reject her request.

She was going to stay at his place for a few days.

To win him over, she used on point to exchange ten candies from the system.

This candy was costly. It was the most expensive candy the system had, and she couldn’t bear to eat them.

She planned to give them all to him.

Jiang Xiaoman cried and prepared her stuff, secretly stuffing some clothes in her schoolbag. She was waiting for Monday to go to school.

She was very sad and angry.

When she arrived at the kindergarten, she wanted to give Yu Qingshi the sweets. However, she found out that he did not come to school today.

Footnotes:

3. Just fierce on the outside, but without real substance

4. This is the same idiom that has been mentioned a few times in this series. Eat someone’s food and your mouth becomes soft (so you can’t scold them), take someone’s gift and your hand becomes short (so you can’t hit them). It’s very wordy and awkward though (the raw is only 2 x 4 word long) so I’m shortening them to this.
