People who eat melon are in 70 - Chapter 7

The only change in the melon-eating system at this time compared to before is that there is an additional bookshelf button on the side of the backpack.

Clicking on the bookshelf, there is already a purple hand-painted beauty book in it. Touching the cover lightly, the content of the novel appeared in front of her.

Jiang Youtao spent half a night reading this novel, and then summarized it.

The heroine Gu Nianwei was only 24 years old when she traveled through time. She inherited the property left to her by her grandmother just after graduating from college – two five-story buildings in the urban village in the center of Pengcheng City, and became a young landlady.

After she turned 23, she would often dream about her difficult survival in the 1970s. At first, she didn’t intend to care, but after having the dream for half a year, her mood began to become subtle.

Once she was accidentally injured while cutting vegetables, and blood flowed onto the ring her grandmother gave her before she died. Then she appeared in a space as large as four or five football fields put together.

The appearance of the space made Gu Nianwei alert. It happened that the urban village was being demolished. Gu Nianwei’s two buildings could be bought with a choice of several million in cash or more than 20 resettlement houses.

Gu Nianwei thought for a long time and compromised, asking for three houses and several million in cash.

After getting the money, Gu Nianwei started to buy, and the things she bought covered all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

On her 24th birthday, she traveled to 1973 with the space and became an 18-year-old educated youth from the capital who went to the countryside with the same name.

According to the timeline in the novel, Gu Nianwei has been here for more than half a year.

The story line happened after this group of educated youth arrived. Before the autumn harvest, Gu Nianwei would be introduced to someone by the village women’s director, a veteran with three sons, and became a stepmother.

Jiang Youtao tilted her head and looked at Gu Nianwei who was sleeping in the dim moonlight outside the window, with an expression that was difficult to describe.

This little girl who has no shortage of money or materials and looks particularly graceful and charming, how could she be so unhappy that she would become a stepmother to someone else’s child!

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be a stepmother. If you do well, there is no benefit. At most, you will get a useless compliment. If you do poorly, you will definitely be criticized by the world. The most terrible thing is that kind of good stepmother, if one day you do not do as well as others want, then all the good things in the past will be wiped out. It is simply a thankless job.

According to the plot in the book that Jiang Youtao read, after marriage, Gu Nianwei spent every day around the stove, the man and the children. The people she made friends with were mostly elderly people with children. Her circle of friends became narrower and narrower, and the materials in the space became the capital for the male protagonist Lin Jianzhong to climb up.

After summarizing, Jiang Youtao only wanted to express the following six points:

She finally remembered to ask the melon-eating system: “Why do you eat melons in the era text?”

It has been ten days since the melon-eating system was bound to Jiang Youtao. Jiang Youtao will actively contact it except when she wants to get money from it. The rest of the time, she blocks it. As a system that lives on the host, it can’t break through the host’s shielding range unless it triggers a key figure like the protagonist.

Thinking of the experience of being locked in the small black room these days, the melon-eating system is very depressed, it feels wronged.

When Jiang Youtao asked it this question again, a feeling of sadness went into it’s throat.

Before binding to the host, it copied a lot of online novels. Which of the lucky ones who were bound by the system was not grateful to the system and obeyed everything?

What sin did it commit to let it meet such a host? She didn’t even ask why it was called the melon-eating system!

The melon-eating system suppressed the bitterness in its heart and spoke with a flat electronic sound: [The melon-eating system, also known as the fusion small world detection system. Those who can be monitored by this system are those who have independently generated consciousness after the book is finished, causing the world to collapse. ]

This answer is a bit official. Jiang Youtao understood it but didn’t seem to understand it.

The melon-eating system said: [In plain words, the main characters of the small world died abnormally, and the resentment was too great, which led to the collapse of the small world. After the collapse, the small world merged with this world for some reason. For the stability of this world, this system was born. Because this system cannot carry out the detection task alone, it has selected you, the host who loves to eat melons and lost her life for eating melons, from among the thousands of worlds. 】

The melon-eating system said, proudly holding its chest high.

Jiang Youtao was heartbroken when it mentioned this matter. If time could be turned back, she would not close the window of fate even if it rained that night, not to mention knives raining from the sky.

Jiang Youtao did not think about this topic that made her depressed, and continued to ask the melon-eating system: [Then the question is, why did Gu Nianwei’s small world collapse? 】

The light screen in front of Jiang Youtao changed, turning into a few lines of bright red characters.

It turned out that Lin Jianzhong made a fortune with the materials in Gu Nianwei’s space. Success came too easily, and he did not know how to cherish it at all. He acted like a human being in front of Gu Nianwei, but he was proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling in places where Gu Nianwei could not see. If something happened, he would go to Gu Nianwei to clean up the mess. His sons grew up in a honeypot, taking Gu Nianwei’s kindness to them for granted, becoming less and less respectful to Gu Nianwei, and making higher and higher demands on her. When Lin Jianzhong’s lover came to Gu Nianwei, they chose to stand on Lin Jianzhong’s side without any prior agreement.

The previous happy marriage of loving mother and filial son was all an illusion. Gu Nianwei’s decades of grievances and resentment erupted at that moment. She used the space knife to kill Lin Jianzhong and his three sons, and did not let go of Lin Jianzhong’s mother who had tortured her for many years.

After she finished, Gu Nianwei chose to surrender. The secrets of the ring, the materials in the space, etc. were all told to others. Gu Nianwei was executed by firing squad. After the execution, the small world was on the verge of collapse, and at the critical moment it was merged with the world where the original owner was.

Jiang Youtao sighed after reading it.

You choose your own path, and you have to bear the consequences, whether good or bad. But the cost of the consequences that Gu Nianwei has to bear is too high. There are obviously many ways to take revenge, but she chose the most tragic one.

Jiang Youtao thought that there was still some time before Gu Nianwei was introduced to Lin Jianzhong. During this time, she would persuade her as much as she could. If she couldn’t persuade her, she would have no other way.

Isn’t the old saying still said, it’s hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words.

After finishing the melon, Jiang Youtao turned over the quilt contentedly.

She turned over and fell asleep in a second, which made the melon-eating system that was still waiting for her to ask questions in a mess, which was very uncomfortable.

The next day, Jiang Youtao was awakened by the noise outside. Gu Nianwei beside her had already gotten up. The bedding was neatly folded and placed on the cabinet at the foot of the kang. She tilted her head to look at the big kang. Zhang Huihui and Zhao Yonglan were sleeping in a sprawling state, and Li Yunying’s bed was also made clean.

Jiang Youtao put on her clothes, folded the quilt, got off the kang, and went outside to wash up with a washbasin, towel and soap.

The weather in the northeast is very cold in the morning, and the well water pumped from the ground is also cool. She wiped her face with a wet towel, and the only remaining sleepiness disappeared.

Gu Nianwei came out of the kitchen after hearing the noise and said to her, “The team leader asked me to take you to the team headquarters to find him later. Haven’t they woken up yet?”

Jiang Youtao shook her head, “Not yet, I’ll go call them.”

Jiang Youtao put the toiletries on the wooden table in the room and woke up Zhang Huihui and Zhao Yonglan. They looked very unhappy.

Zhao Yonglan said, “We’ve been traveling for so many days and are exhausted. We don’t have to go to work today. What’s wrong with sleeping a little longer? Why are you rushing me?”

She and Zhang Huihui got up together, dressed, and went to wash, banging things.

The smile on Jiang Youtao’s face faded. When Zhao Yonglan said this and Zhang Huihui didn’t refute it, Jiang Youtao knew that she would not get too close to Zhang Huihui and the others in the future.

She is not a real teenager. She doesn’t need friends, and she won’t swallow her anger for the so-called friendship.

Zhang Huihui saw that Jiang Youtao’s face was not right, and pulled Zhao Yonglan’s sleeve. Zhao Yonglan also glanced at Jiang Youtao, pouted and didn’t say anything.

Jiang Youtao took out the vanishing cream from the system backpack and smeared it on her face, then went out to the kitchen.

Gu Nianwei saw the lawsuit between the three people and handed her a steamed bun made of two ounces of flour.

Jiang Youtao looked at Gu Nianwei, who winked at her and said, “Eat it quickly, just consider it as a loan from me, and return it to me when you buy food on credit from the captain.”
