Little One Tears the Villain’s Script-Chapter 300

48 Days Countdown (2)

In her opinion, Liang Yuanqing was the worst person in the family, but Grandpa’s illness wasn’t his fault. So, who could it have been?

Was it… a mysterious unknown power?

Jiang Xiaoman began going into the metaphysical.

If it couldn’t be solved by the power of men, then should she find a witch doctor? That was what Grandma did best.

The system hurriedly said, “No, host, calm down! Feudal superstition is dangerous! Let’s be more scientific, there must be a trace we can follow! If you work hard, we will definitely find a way!”

Jiang Xiaoman whispered, “Actually, you are quite unscientific…”

The system couldn’t come up with an explanation to refute her.

The two talked for a while, but did not manage to come up with a plan.

Jiang Xiaoman said, “Anyway, we still have a bottle of Veritaserum, so I can’t waste it. I’ll go to Liang Siyu first and ask her.”

“Uh-huh!” The system rubbed its hands in anticipation.

As long as she was willing to work, she was a good host.

Liang Siyu accompanied Wen Hui by the hospital bed and acted like a good daughter. When Jiang Xiaoman arrived, Liang Siyu was acting coquettishly towards Wen Hui, creating a particularly warm and harmonious scene. However, the warmth and harmony ended with the arrival of Jiang Xiaoman. As soon as she came, Liang Siyu was neither harmonious nor warm, and secretly rolled her eyes at her.

Jiang Xiaoman was not angry at all. She felt that rolling one’s eyes looked ugly and impolite. If she could, she would also whistle at Liang Siyu to ridicule her. This was a trick that she learned from Sun Xiaojie and the others.

It was very hooligan-like.

But Jiang Xiaoman felt that she should not do such a thing in front of an adult, so she gave it up.

“Mom.” Jiang Xiaoman walked over, said hello, and sat down as well.

Wen Hui’s spirit was already very good. Her emotions have calmed down, and she was not as agitated as before. After beckoning Jiang Xiaoman to sit down, Wen Hui said, “You two sisters should get along well in the future. The house is already in chaos, don’t make me worry.”

Jiang Xiaoman: “Uh-huh!”

Liang Siyu smiled a little awkwardly. She bit her lip and whispered, “Mom, Dad he-”

“Don’t mention him in front of me!” Wen Hui was agitated again.

Liang Siyu was so shocked that she didn’t dare to say anything else, so she could only shut up.

Jiang Xiaoman took advantage of the opportunity, and in the name of harmony and friendship, very naturally handed Liang Siyu a bottle of drink mixed with Veritaserum.

“This…” Liang Siyu pursed her lips and smiled eerily at Jiang Xiaoman, “Sister, I’m not thirsty. I’m not drinking.”

She refused without thinking.

Jiang Xiaoman never thought that Liang Siyu would not drink her stuff. It was probably because the plan had worked so smoothly before that Jiang Xiaoman did not expect this development.

“Okay.” Jiang Xiaoman smiled and did not insist. Liang Siyu’s cautiousness was actually the highest.

“Mom, Grandma is also in shock. You still have Little Sis here, but Grandma doesn’t have anyone by her side. I have to go see her.” Jiang Xiaoman came mainly for this matter.

Wen Hui was also very tired after this incident. She didn’t stop Jiang Xiaoman or say anything; she nodded and let her go.

After leaving the ward, Jiang Xiaoman vaguely heard Liang Siyu say, “Mom, look at her… she doesn’t care about you at all.”

However, she was soon reprimanded by Wen Hui. Gee, why bother.

She might be cautious, but she was still too young and didn’t know how to hold back.

That’s no good, Liang Siyu.

The system was also angry, “Host, she is actually guarding against you!”

Even Liang Yuanqing, the number one bad guy, took the drink without any trouble. Who would’ve guessed that they would fail once they got to Liang Siyu?

“Maybe what I did before was too obvious, so she is afraid.”

“Yeah! Host, you threw a curve ball like I’ve never seen before, unprecedented and unheard of!”

Jiang Xiaoman ignored the system’s compliments. Her eyes fell on the water bottle in her hand, and she said in a low voice, “But if you didn’t do anything wrong, then you won’t be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. What is she afraid of?”

The system didn’t know either, and didn’t answer her.

There was still Veritaserum in the bottle that had costed her 200 points. Liang Siyu didn’t drink it, but Jiang Xiaoman didn’t think about throwing it away; that would be too wasteful.

As for whether it would expire or not, this was not something she had to think about.

Jiang Xiumei and Jiang Xing still lived in the suite from before and had not moved out yet.

Jiang Xing had bought another house for Jiang Xiaoman near Qiming High School, but it took some time to go through the formalities, and for now he couldn’t move in right away. He could only get used to the inconvenience first for now.

“The child is about to start school soon, so you must not drop the ball!” Jiang Xiumei advised him over and over. “It’s better if the house has a yard, so I can grow vegetables and open up the land, otherwise I’ll be bored.”

Jiang Xing complained, “Might as well make a pig pen!”

“That’s not out of the question.”

“…” He was just joking, but she took it seriously.

It was no exaggeration to say that every inch of land here cost an inch of gold. Housing here was even more expensive than the school district house for Xiaoman back then. But he could afford it now, and he could even buy it without blinking an eye.

But asking him to buy a piece of open land here to raise pigs and plant crops, to be honest, it still felt like stabbing him in the heart. Even if he was like The Foolish Old Man1, even after his descendants raised pigs for generations, they still wouldn’t be able to earn the money back.

Not to mention, even if he was willing to buy, there was no one selling.
