Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Why Did They Give Her a Xianxia Power-Up?
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar shrill voice came from the crowd.
"A bunch of nonsense-spewing things, who stole your family’s electricity? Do you have any evidence? Just gossiping around."
Why does this voice sound so much like her cheap second aunt?
Su Xiaoxiao looked in the direction of the voice, and indeed saw her second aunt, Zhang Guifang, standing aggressively in the center of the crowd with her hands on her hips.
"If it wasn’t stolen, then what’s up with the extra power line?"
"Pah, shameless, can’t even bear to spend money and steals from others!"
"Truly obsessed with money."
Facing the accusations, Zhang Guifang showed no fear on her face: "How would I know what’s going on? Maybe someone hooked it up wrong by accident, what’s it got to do with me?"
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking defiant, as if she would never admit it.
Eavesdropping on the gossip about her second aunt’s house early in the morning, Su Xiaoxiao was excitedly crunching away at her sunflower seeds.
Just as she was watching excitedly, a series of striking red letters suddenly appeared in front of her eyes: Please choose your game task reward.
Su Xiaoxiao then realized that the wild carp she sold today also counted as a game task, and completing it could also get her a chance to draw a prize.
I wonder what kind of nonsense this lottery will give me this time?
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly became very curious about what more outlandish item her unlucky hand could draw apart from the previous two.
Thinking this, she casually opened the game interface.
After all, everyone was busy with the gossip and nobody noticed her.
She clicked open the interface, momentarily dazed at the newly added options on the wheel.
"Words and Law Follow, three times?"
A question mark slowly formed on her forehead.
"Words and Law Follow," what the heck is this? Why are there even fantasy elements now?
This game seems to be getting more outrageous?
While thinking about it, someone bumped into her, causing her hand to press the middle button directly.
The lottery wheel spun quickly and soon stopped at a position.
Seeing the content on it, Su Xiaoxiao’s mouth twitched.
Sure enough, the pointer was right on the "Words and Law Follow."
The first two prizes were at least tangible, but this prize seemed even more abstract.
While pondering how to use this thing, Zhang Guifang’s angry roar suddenly came to her ears: "You ungrateful brat, I’m still your second aunt. Can’t you see I’m being bullied by so many people, yet you won’t even bother to lend a hand?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked up and saw Zhang Guifang pointing at her with her hands on her hips, cursing, "Aren’t you still part of our Su Family?"
What does this have to do with her? With the nasty things Zhang Guifang usually does, it’s already kind of her not to add fuel to the fire.
At this time, the village chief separated the crowd and came over.
Seeing the village chief arrive, everyone seemed to find their backbone and all looked over.
The village chief glanced at Zhang Guifang, frowning: "What’s going on exactly?"
In front of so many people, Zhang Guifang would never admit to the electricity theft.
If she admitted, how could their family stay in the village afterwards?
She immediately slapped her leg, unhesitatingly pointing her spearhead at Su Xiaoxiao: "Village chief, the electricity wasn’t stolen by us. Last time my sister-in-law said she wanted to share an electric meter with us, but I didn’t agree. Maybe it’s her family that did it."
With one sentence, she put the blame directly on Liu Cuilan.
Su Xiaoxiao was happily eavesdropping on the gossip but was caught off guard when it landed on her family. She immediately threw away the sunflower seed shells in her hand and spoke fiercely: "Do you have any evidence to say it was my family that stole the electricity?"
The village chief frowned and looked towards Chen Guifang, implying that she should quickly produce evidence.
Of course, Zhang Guifang had no evidence.
But so what? Liu Cuilan’s family, being just a few orphans and widows, would have some things to rely on them for in the future. What’s wrong if she put the blame on them?
With a justified tone, she immediately spoke up: "I have no evidence, but I can swear, if I lie, may I be struck by lightning!"
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered her "Words and Law Follow" times three.
She wondered if it would really work.
She smiled sweetly and opened her mouth: "Alright, if second aunt is lying, may she be hit by a pig, struck by lightning!"
The wicked girl, how could she be so venomous?
But those are just a couple of venomous oaths; they won’t come true, thought Zhang Guifang with no psychological burden.
"Village chief, now you can believe me, right?"
The village chief stroked his beard and was about to speak when suddenly a scream came from not far away: "Ah, ah, ah... get out of the way, get out of the way, the pig from the production team has escaped."
With this sentence, everyone present all looked at Su Xiaoxiao in unison. Was the pig really coming to hit Zhang Guifang?
Zhang Guifang snorted, how could that be? She had sworn similar oaths many times before, and not once did they materialize.
Just as she thought of this, lifting her head, she met the gaze of a pair of black pig eyes.
A massive pig, seemingly weighing three to four hundred pounds, was huffing and puffing its way towards her.
Zhang Guifang was startled; did that pig just look at her?
Seeing the pig charging aggressively towards her, the surrounding villagers screamed and scattered.
But Zhang Guifang remained in the middle, surprisingly unable to react in time.
The next moment, the big pig rammed her hard, sending Zhang Guifang flying.
At this moment, several men seized the opportunity to charge forward and quickly tied the big pig up and carried it away.
Zhang Guifang struggled to get up from the ground, facing the suspicious eyes of the villagers.
Someone whispered.
"Could it be that Zhang Guifang really did the electricity theft?"
"Otherwise, why would she get hit by a pig right after swearing?"
"She’s done too many wicked things, and now she’s facing retribution."
The discussion grew louder, and Zhang Guifang climbed up from the ground with a dark face: "Nonsense, if I say I didn’t steal, then I didn’t steal. What just happened was a coincidence."
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, a sudden clap of thunder sounded in the clear sky.
Then, a loud crack followed, and a tree not far away was split in half by lightning, astonishing everyone. Just then, someone suddenly shouted.
"Oh no, someone was struck by lightning!"
Everyone looked over in the direction of the voice and saw a pitch-black figure standing not far from the split tree.
Their hair was burnt clean off, their clothes were charred black, but fortunately, they were alive.
"So unlucky? Who is it?"
Everyone was puzzled when they heard a crisp and pleasant female voice from the crowd: "Second aunt, oh dear, how did you end up like this?"
Second aunt? Everyone jolted at the realization and looked over in the direction of the voice.
The speaker was none other than Su Family’s third girl, and the one she called second aunt was the same Zhang Guifang who had been so confident earlier.
Everyone around her took a step back in unison, afraid that another bolt of lightning might strike them too.
Didn’t expect "Words and Law Follow" to be so effective?
Seeing the increasingly strange looks from everyone directed at her, Zhang Guifang spat out the ash in her mouth, stubbornly refusing to admit: "This... this is surely another accident."
Just as she finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao smiled and opened her mouth: "Second aunt, why not continue swearing? If you really stole the electricity, then let you..."
