The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 608: Chapter 248: System Calls Me to Save the Day (Part 5)_2

And moreover, the neighbor’s house had a coal oil lamp encased in glass. Although the light was not very bright, it was certainly much better than repeatedly using a candle like they did in the Qiao Family.

Little Sister Qiao, to be able to ”borrow light” from next door, even had to help explain homework to her friends.

She was already tired from her own studies, not to mention acting as a ”tutor,” she was completely famished.

She thought that, upon returning home, she would, as usual, have hot soup and hot meals waiting for her.

Their family’s sister-in-law was famously virtuous in the village, not only sparing the mother-in-law from household worries but also not bossing around her younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.

The sister-in-law’s hands were particularly skillful, turning coarse cornmeal, choking sweet potatoes, and overly salty pickled vegetables into something much tastier.

Little Sister Qiao and Mrs. Qiao both had gotten used to having meals ready as soon as they walked in the door over the past year or more.

Thinking to herself, ”Finally, I can go home for a meal,” she stepped inside only to discover that there was nothing on the table in the main room, and her parents, older brother, and second brother were all standing there in a daze!

Having just come home and likewise feeling displeased, Mr. Qiao didn’t speak out. Instead, he squatted by the door, pulled out his smoking pipe, and began puffing away anew.

Indeed, how could he, as a father-in-law, speak directly to his daughter-in-law?

Such a thing would only happen in families without rules, and although they were down on their luck now, their ancestors were genuinely prominent people.

He Tiantian had slept all afternoon, completely integrating Divine Soul with her body.

She had also received all the memories of the previous writer.

It must be said, the previous writer was also unlucky because before she arrived, the original host had already experienced ”Rebirth.”

Thus, the person who desperately wanted to break off the engagement with her fiance, and shamelessly clung to Qiao Zhenbang was not the previous writer, but the original host.

Even more absurdly, after the original host had successfully married into the Qiao Family, she thought about performing well to win over the hearts of her wealthy ex-husband, professor brother-in-law, and doctor sister-in-law.

But, the original host was inherently neither diligent nor sensible.

She understood the reasons, she even knew the direction of her fate, but she really couldn’t manage to be the virtuous wife and good mother.

Even pretending, the original host couldn’t keep it up, turning the Qiao Family upside down.

Qiao Zhenbang was both angry and resentful—you despise our Qiao Family so much, then why did you insist on marrying in before?

If you’re married in, yet still causing all sorts of trouble, do you really love me, or are you just toying with me?

The male lead was so enraged, he directly wanted to divorce the original host.

Of course, the original host couldn’t bear to let go of a future wealthy man and hurried to perform well, but then she accidentally fell into the river while washing clothes and drowned.

The previous writer arrived just at that time.

He Tiantian:...

Sigh, suddenly realizing that facing a top-grade original host and coping with various miserable messes isn’t unique just to her, He Tiantian.

In the past, He Tiantian knew there were other writers, but experiencing it herself was something new.

And indeed, He Tiantian could understand why the previous writer tried so hard to perform well, serving the in-laws top to bottom as if she were born to be the female lead of a melodrama.

With such a poor start, if she didn’t try to save it, the mission would fail.

But this writer was quite unlucky, managing to win over her husband and her in-laws’ hearts, the plot already 99% complete, only lacking having a child and then heading towards a perfect family finale.

Then suddenly, she encountered the male lead’s ”Awakening,” tsk tsk, He Tiantian couldn’t help but shed a tear of sympathy for her predecessor.

However, sympathy aside, He Tiantian didn’t quite agree with the prior writer’s approach.

He Tiantian thought the previous writer had done a bit too much.

Wanting to perform well was fine, but, one shouldn’t overcommit.

Doing so easily makes others take it for ”granted.”

He Tiantian isn’t shooting blindly, she stood at the door watching the reaction of the Qiao Family members in the great hall.

Just one missed meal and none of them went to check if ”Jiao Jiao” was alright. Instead, they all complained about coming home to no hot soup or hot meals!

”Little Sister, I don’t like hearing those words, what do you mean ’don’t need me to earn money’?”

He Tiantian crossed her arms, her face full of pettiness, and looked Little Sister Qiao up and down, saying coolly, ”If I’m not mistaken, the dress you are wearing is indeed made from the dowry fabric I brought!”

”Moreover, there’s no income at home, yet you managed to eat meat every few days. Do you really think that fish and meat just fall from the sky?”
