Chapter 287 - 275: Beating Up Scum
This old man that makes Apo so scared is called Da Gen—can’t help but complain about this family’s naming sense, the old ones are called Da Gen, Er Gen, San Gen, and the children are named Du Gen. It’s tasteless; they must really wish for offspring.
This also proves one thing: you’re afraid of something, you won’t get it.
Named Clever might be stupid, named Beautiful might be ugly, the family with "Gen" hanging in their names might just end up childless.
It’s their misfortune to encounter Qian, the female demon.
Meanwhile, Da Gen is also watching Qian, this purchased woman makes him feel odd.
"You’re not afraid?"
"Why should I be afraid? I’m the fortune-bringing girl of Huang, who dares touch me will end up childless."
"I’ll smash you to death right now, just like the woman we bought for Du Gen before!"
Qian’s heart skipped a beat; is the red cloth on the hoe because an innocent girl has already been victimized?
She feels even angrier inside, these detestable peasants, treating human life like it’s nothing!
"You respect me, Huang will make your family prosperous, offspring flourishing, wealth piles up like mountains. You harm me, and your family’s lineage will be cut off!"
The man was pierced in his sore spot by Qian, fiercely swung his hoe, hitting the ground hard.
But he dared not harm Qian.
Qian guessed correctly; this family’s weakness lies in offspring.
From the names to the attitude of buying a wife for a fool, Qian made a bold deduction.
"Apo, when will you return his money?"
Both of them widened their eyes, Qian exhaled in relief, she guessed right.
Apo’s family just has one foolish son, relying on a woman. It’s not easy to gather 4000, there’s only one possibility, this Da Gen or someone else borrowed money.
In this impoverished place, money is treated like treasure, being able to lend money means this family desperately desires offspring.
"How did you know?" Apo’s back was tingling all over.
"Huang told me."
"Nonsense, you’ve gone your separate ways!"
"Immortals come and go without a trace, she sent a little ghost riding on your shoulder, does your shoulder hurt? If it doesn’t hurt from being hit in a fight, then that’s the real ghost."
Apo shivered, frightened.
Of course it hurts, she was just hit in a fight.
"If you’re making things up, I’ll kill you!" Da Gen said hesitantly.
"Let’s see as we go!"
Every psychologist in their past life was a crippled fortuneteller, whoever they bluff gets fooled.
Actually, there’s scientific basis for this, most rural shamans are just making things up, but they’re especially good at following people’s hearts. Give them a lead, they can weave a lot out of it, and are particularly skilled at coaxing information, speaking in ways that leave no excuses.
And in a certain sense, these rural shamans are equivalent to psychologists, helping resolve bothersome troubles, if they can’t, they forcefully explain using ghostly tales. Qian has the foundation of a psychologist, her observation and analysis of people are spot-on, bluffing is effortless.
This family now trusts Qian halfway, doesn’t dare hit her, but also can’t fully believe her.
Arriving at the place, Qian takes a look, wow, is this the rundown straw hut from the Three Little Pigs? This little house is particularly shabby, the straw roof is about to collapse, the dirty courtyard bordered with wooden planks, rearing only two scrawny chickens, Qian suddenly felt like laughing.
These two chickens, Shi Touyu will surely get to eat them tomorrow.
Outside piles of corn stalks, apparently for burning, Qian surveys around, she already has a plan.
This family has lots of flammable materials, hehe, hopefully, they’re not so poor they don’t even have soybean oil...
Flammable materials plus oil, what is that?
Qian discreetly follows them into the house, a filthy man rushes forward, hugging Apo and giggling foolishly.
"I want a wife, I want a wife!"
This is the foolish son, Du Gen.
Can’t tell his age, hair disheveled, wearing pants with exposed knees, one shoe on, the other foot bare, blackened beyond recognition, a stench fills the air.
"This is your wife!" Apo pushed Qian.
Qian immediately shot a fiercely malicious glare, unleashing her menacing aura. Though foolish, he has the beastly instinct, sensing Qian’s killing intent, he screams in fear, retreats a step, clutching his uncle tightly.
"Ghost! She’s a ghost! Ahh ahh ahh!"
Pfft, great coordination! Qian’s inner little devil is growing horns, come on, use your ignorance for Qian’s sacrifices.
Qian feels no sympathy for this family.
Poor, foolish, these are no reasons for them to buy wives to kill treating humans like livestock, so for what she plans to do next, Qian feels no guilt.
Who not to provoke, must it be her? You don’t mess with me, I don’t mess with you. If you do, I’ll destroy your entire family!
The more she thinks this way, the stronger her killing intent, the more the fool fears.
Don’t look foolish, yet the senses are keen.
"You fool, this is your wife, what are you afraid of!" Apo went to hit the fool, he ran around the room. Suddenly, the brutal old man Da Gen followed, kicked the fool down, ignoring his cries, dragged him to the shabby hut, pointing to Qian.
"You come over too!"
Qian walked over, Da Gen said to Apo, "Go make food, I’ll make them consummate now, I don’t care what fairy you are, here you must bear children! Bear children, I’ll let you be in charge, earn money, and buy you meat!"
Qian’s eyes flashed coldly, hehe, now just want to eat your meat!
Da Gen put Qian and the fool in a room, he moved a grimy black chair, sat in front of the broken earth-bed, and didn’t leave, planning to watch the entire event unfold?!
"Don’t be afraid, he’s still a virgin. The last one was disobedient and didn’t let him sleep, I killed her; he doesn’t know anything, I’m here to guide you, lie down quickly!"
The fool, scared, ran on the bed, Qian stood firmly on the ground, Da Gen’s ferocity showed.
"What are you doing, hurry up!"
"A little ghost from the fairy house has come, she said... if you treat her well, let her fortune-bringing girl go, next year you can hold a son, your own, why are you so focused on someone else’s son."
"What!!! Are you serious?" Da Gen became instantly agitated, stepped forward, stared at Qian with eager eyes.
Seeing his reaction, Qian further confirmed her suspicion.
This guy can gather so much money to buy a wife for his deceased brother’s foolish son, it’s highly probable that either his children are all dead, or he has some condition preventing him from having more.
"A chubby son, do you want it, born on the 20th of the lunar calendar, 8 pounds, long earlobes reaching shoulders, nose pointed to the sky, wide grin, destined to be an official!"
Isn’t that the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy’s look?
Qian felt being a charlatan is an addictive behavior.
Successfully hoodwinking a brutal person is a rather satisfying achievement.
