Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Chapter 16 70 Village Flowers 16

On the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Lan's eighteenth birthday, she and Ruan Ziheng got their marriage certificate and took many photos as souvenirs.

The factory closed for the holiday on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang returned to the village early on the 29th to help out.

Uncle Jiang's family and his elder brother and sister-in-law didn't arrive home until evening. They had taken their next year's leave early in order to attend their niece's (younger sister's) wedding.

On New Year's Eve, the Jiang family, as in previous years, had two tables for dinner: one for the adults and one for the children.

The Jiang family is indeed all boys, even the twins in the eldest sister-in-law's belly are her nephews.

Of course, this was what Ping An told her. Her medical skills were still limited to the apprentice level, and she didn't know how to take a pulse yet.

Jiang Lan witnessed once again how much the Jiang family doted on her, a level of affection that even her several cousins ​​combined couldn't match.

Take New Year's money as an example. Every year, her parents each give her ten yuan, and her two aunts each give her ten yuan.

When I was a child, my older brothers and cousins ​​each received one yuan in New Year's money every year, but it has only increased to five yuan in the last two years.

This shows just how much the Jiang family favored women over men.

The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until after six o'clock, only ending when the village children came to offer their New Year's greetings.

Jiang's father and his two brothers took her older brother and cousins ​​to pay respects to their ancestors, but she made up an excuse not to go. Ping An told her that Zhou Lingling had spent a lot of money to buy that kind of drug from the black market, intending to ruin her reputation.

Unfortunately, she had someone by her side these past few days, giving Zhou Lingling no chance at all.

So she planned to stay home today and wait for Zhou Lingling to come over so that this matter could be settled.

She didn't want Zhou Lingling to ruin her wedding.

Sure enough, Zhou Lingling wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. Before long, she ran breathlessly to Jiang Lan, feigning worry and anxiety.

"Xiao Lan, Aunt Ruan seems to have fallen ill on her way to the back mountain. Her face looks terrible. You should go and see her quickly!"

Jiang Lan raised an eyebrow, asking with some anxiety, "How is Aunt Ruan now? What about Brother Ziheng and Ziqing?"

The back mountain is the communal cemetery of Hongxing Village. Every year on New Year's Eve, the villagers go there to pay respects to their ancestors, and there's only one road leading there. They're trying to embarrass her in public!

"I didn't see them, you should go and check!" Zhou Lingling kept urging, she had waited for several days and finally saw Jiang Lan alone.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan hurriedly ran towards the back mountain. Since Zhou Lingling wanted to see it, she would grant her wish.

The two ran towards the back of the mountain, one after the other, with a considerable distance between them.

Before they even reached the back of the mountain, three strange men suddenly appeared and blocked their way. One of them, with big yellow teeth, reached out to touch Jiang Lan's face, but Jiang Lan dodged it.

"Little beauty, why are you hiding?"

[Host, these three men are local thugs; Zhou Lingling hired them specifically.]

"I guessed it." Jiang Lan dodged the dirty hand that Big Yellow Teeth was reaching out.

"Let me give you a piece of advice: don't lose sight of the bigger picture for a few measly coins."

Hearing Jiang Lan say that, Da Huangya leered at Jiang Lan, looking her up and down. "Stop spreading rumors. Go ask around and see if I, Liu San, am ever afraid." He was determined to sleep with this pretty girl tonight. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, it wouldn't matter.

If he weren't still useful, Jiang Lan would have wanted to end his life immediately.

[Host, watch out behind you.]

Upon hearing Ping An's reminder, Jiang Lan immediately leaped to the side, as light as a swallow, avoiding the medicinal powder that Zhou Lingling had thrown at her.

The powder was immediately inhaled by the three thugs. Within seconds, their breathing became heavy, and they began to tear at each other's clothes.

Seeing Zhou Lingling trying to run away, Jiang Lan immediately blocked her way, took out a packet of her own homemade upgraded version of M-drug, and sprinkled it on Zhou Lingling.

Zhou Lingling quickly covered her mouth and nose, but it seemed to be too late. The powder had already seeped into her skin, and she felt as if there were hundreds of insects inside her body, making her extremely uncomfortable.

What did you do to me?

"Of course, I'm giving you back what you wanted to do to me! Enjoy it!" Jiang Lan kicked Zhou Lingling into the middle of three thugs, then turned and walked towards the back mountain.

Ping An told me that his father and the others had finished paying respects to their ancestors and were preparing to head back.

That won't do. She has to hold off her father and the others until the rest of the group catches up before they head back.

Jiang's father and the others were quite surprised to see Jiang Lan suddenly appear, but they didn't ask any questions, treating her as just a child.

"Since we're here, let's go and kowtow to our ancestors. May they bless Lanlan with good health and all her wishes coming true in the coming year."

"Okay, Dad." Jiang Lan nodded in agreement, kneeling before the ancestral grave. In her heart, she explained the reason for everything. After all, she was truly dead and had transmigrated to the 1970s in a parallel universe. She couldn't disbelieve in superstitions. So she hoped that the ancestors of the Jiang family wouldn't take offense; she was only here to help Jiang Lan of the Jiang family complete her mission.

A few minutes later, Jiang Lan opened her eyes, kowtowed three times, and then got up.

"Little sister, how many wishes did you make to the ancestors? You didn't mean to ask them to bless you so you can be born next year," Jiang Jun said cheekily as he leaned closer to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan was too lazy to pay attention to him. Anyway, her second brother's mouth was often out of control, and she was used to it.

"Shut up!" Jiang Jun was scolded by his second uncle before he could finish speaking.

Jiang Jun, who had been scolded by his second uncle, immediately quieted down.

After her second uncle and the others left, she approached Jiang Lan again and whispered to her what wish she had made.

"I pray to my ancestors that my second brother will marry a beautiful wife this year." Then I'll teach you a lesson for your loose tongue.

"Little sister, your second brother really didn't spoil you for nothing." Jiang Jun grinned.

The brother and sister were playfully fighting and ended up at the very back.

Jiang Lan had already learned from Ping An that Zhou Lingling's affair with the three thugs had been witnessed by another group of people in the village.

Many people were so frightened that they ran back to the village, while a few others mustered their courage and shouted at them.

But they didn't stop, continuing to enjoy themselves, their panting growing louder and louder, sounding particularly eerie in the dark night.

Someone suggested that they go forward and take a look, since this was the only way for them to get to the back mountain, and they couldn't go around it.

Unless we turn back, that's definitely not an option.

As the villagers approached with torches, they finally saw that the mass actually consisted of four people: three men and one woman entangled together, making all sorts of noises that made them feel nauseous.

Soon everyone discovered that the woman was Zhou Lingling, the youngest daughter of the Zhou family. Half a year ago, she and a young intellectual surnamed Bai were caught in bed together by the villagers. It was said that the young intellectual surnamed Bai later gave the Zhou family two hundred yuan as a bride price and married her.

How could she be hanging out with other men, especially several of them?
