Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

Jiang Lan has been having a very pleasant time these past few days, spending her days basking in the sun and reading books.

There were no zombie attacks, no danger, only care and greetings from family.

Zhou Lingling hasn't come to see her these past few days. According to the system, Zhou Lingling was beaten by the Zhou family for not making breakfast, and she still walks with a limp. They don't want her to see them make a fool of themselves, so they avoid her in the village.

Jiang Lan played the video for her through Ping An, and Zhou Lingling laughed somewhat unkindly at the scene.

Zhou Lingling had clear nail marks on both cheeks. After not seeing her for a few days, she had developed chilblains on her hands and was walking with a limp. She was carrying a pile of dirty clothes as she walked towards the river.

Everyone in the village knew that Grandma Zhou was no kind person; she was extremely sexist and treated her daughters-in-law and granddaughters like dirt.

Previously, because Zhou Lingling often took a lot of things back from the original owner, Grandma Zhou turned a blind eye to her.

That day, when Jiang Lan returned from the riverbank, she deliberately bribed the village children with candy, so that they would casually tell Grandma Zhou that Zhou Lingling had a date with an educated youth by the riverbank early in the morning, which was why she was late in making breakfast.

Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhou immediately flew into a rage. When she was young, because of her ugly appearance, her husband took all the family's money and ran off with a cheap woman from the city, leaving her to raise her eldest son alone. She hated city people the most in her life, and she hated women who seduced men even more.

Upon hearing that the brat had skipped breakfast in order to seduce the educated youth from the city, he immediately grabbed a stick as thick as an arm and started hitting Zhou Lingling with it, hurling all sorts of nasty insults at her.

Zhou Lingling tried to run away, but her younger brother held her firmly to the ground, forcing her to watch helplessly as the old man's dark fingernails slashed at her face.

She cried, shouted, and struggled, but to no avail.

After beating her, Grandma Zhou made a harsh statement: "You filthy girl, if you dare to seduce men again, I'll sell you to the mountains to be a shared wife."

Zhou Lingling was terrified. Her older sister had been sold to the mountains and died the following year, supposedly tortured to death.

Therefore, Zhou Lingling had no time to harm Jiang Lan anymore; all she could think about was that old geezer wanting to sell her out.

Jiang Lan was also happy to relax. As long as Zhou Lingling was not doing well, it didn't matter whether she personally took action or not.

Jiang Lan had been wondering if her second brother didn't want to take her to town and was just putting it off.

This is clearly her petty thinking.

That evening, while having dinner, Jiang Jun told his parents that he would take his younger sister to the county town to play the next day.

Jiang's parents certainly wouldn't object. Lanlan was cooped up at home all day, so it would be good for her to go out for a walk. Anyway, her second brother was there and would take good care of her.

Jiang Lan saw her parents go to the kitchen and asked softly, "Weren't we going to town? How did it turn into going to the county seat? How are we going to get there?"

Jiang Jun waved his hand and said smugly, "Look at you, you country bumpkin. What's there to see in town? Tomorrow, your second brother will take you to the county town. I'll cover all the food and drinks."

Jiang Lan gritted her teeth and, considering that he had taken her out to play, chose not to hear those words and not to argue with him.

Jiang's father helped carry the food to the kitchen, and when he came out, he heard Jiang Jun's smug words. He slapped him on the head and said angrily, "How dare you talk like that? Your sister is a country bumpkin, so you're a meat bun? Look at you, so smug. You think you're so great just because you have a few stinking coins, huh!"

"No, Dad, I was just joking with my sister." Jiang Jun kept winking at Jiang Lan, hoping his sister would speak up for him. After all, their family favored girls over boys; his sister was a precious treasure, while he was just a neglected weed by the roadside, pitiful!

Jiang Lan almost laughed at her second brother's resentful look, but she held it back and said, "Dad, my second brother was just joking with me, don't be angry."

Jiang's father's face immediately brightened, and he looked at his daughter gently, "Lanlan, go and have fun. Buy whatever you like. Don't try to save money for your second brother."

Jiang's father was fully aware of what his second son had been doing over the past few years, and he usually turned a blind eye to it, selectively ignoring it as long as it wasn't too outrageous.

The second son probably has more savings now than most of the villagers in their village.

"Yes, I'll listen to Dad and I definitely won't save money for my second brother." Jiang Lan nodded solemnly.

"Ah! I don't accept this! Am I really your biological son?" Jiang Jun shouted.

Jiang Lan:. . . childish

Jiang's father: ...Disgraceful

Unfortunately, no one watched his performance; everyone went back to their rooms and closed the doors.

The next morning, Jiang Lan was woken up early by her second brother and sat on the back of the bicycle, yawning incessantly.

"Second brother, shall we ride this to the county town?" Jiang Lan frowned. They had only just set off, and her bottom was already starting to feel the strain.

The town is at least 30 kilometers away from the county seat, so a round trip would be incredibly bumpy.

"We'll change cars in town. It's a friend of my second brother's. We're going to the county town on business today." Jiang Jun kept pedaling.

"Oh!"

As long as you don't go by bicycle, it's fine.

To divert attention, Jiang Lan asked Ping An to switch the camera to see what Zhou Lingling was doing.

The scars on Zhou Lingling's face had faded somewhat, no longer as red and swollen as they had been a few days ago, but they were no longer beautiful at all.

Not far from the educated youth compound, Zhou Lingling finally waited for Bai Xiuwen to return from his morning exercise, and shyly approached him.

"Bai Zhiqing, here's some frostbite cream and gloves. I found these for you through the back door. Apply them quickly."

This look is the result of countless practice sessions in front of the water, and it is undoubtedly the most beautiful and captivating.

Unfortunately, she forgot that the scars on her face, combined with her shy demeanor, made her an unforgettable sight.

Bai Xiuwen was startled and took a step back, hurriedly saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss. I appreciate it, but you should take the frostbite cream back. Otherwise, if Old Madam Zhou finds out, you might be punished."

He has been in the village for over a year and has heard some things about the Zhou family.

He didn't want to deal with that unreasonable old woman, Mrs. Zhou.

Zhou Lingling didn't understand the meaning behind his words and thought that Bai Xiuwen was worried about her. She pretended to be strong and raised her little face, "I saved up money to buy these. They don't know and won't be punished. Please accept them! Apply the medicine and put on the gloves, and you'll be fine in a couple of days."

Seeing that he was reluctant to accept it, and fearing that he had been out for too long and that the old man would find out, which would be terrible.

He stuffed the things into Bai Zhiqing's arms and ran away.

Bai Xiuwen didn't stop it; since Zhou Lingling had forced it on him, he figured he might as well use it.

He did have chilblains on his hands, which were painful and itchy. If he had money, he would have bought chilblain cream long ago.

Back at the educated youth compound, Bai Xiuwen opened the frostbite cream to apply to his hands, only to find that the cream was only half-used and the gloves had obviously been worn by someone else, with an unpleasant smell. His face immediately darkened.

Jiang Lan watched as Bai Xiuwen applied the medicine while cursing Zhou Lingling, calling her a poor wretch, a country bumpkin, and a toad, and couldn't help but laugh.

These two are a perfect match, both equally selfish.

The frostbite cream and gloves were originally prepared for Bai Xiuwen by the original owner, but Zhou Lingling insisted on delivering them and kept them for herself.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lingling would give the gloves she had worn and the frostbite cream to Bai Xiuwen.

In this life, she only had to make a slight move, and those two were immediately exposed for who they really were.
