Dont Bully the Poor System (1)

In the end, Jiang Xiaoman wasnt able to successfully run away from home.

Although Yu Qingshi had promised to take her in for two days, Jiang Xing was there, and it was impossible for him to let her stay. In the end, Jiang Xing and Jiang Xiaoman went back home to Jiang Xiumei.

Jiang Xiaoman was very unhappy; she pouted and stayed silent the entire way home.

Jiang Xing said, Your mouth is pouting so much we can use it to hang bottles from.

Hmph! Jiang Xiaoman wiped her tears, feeling that it was a waste for her to come running all the way here for nothing. She felt like a tool, thrown aside as soon as her role was done.

Yu Qingshi and Uncle Yu were happy, but she got nothing.

And if she went home, she might still get scolded by Grandma.

Uncle, why did Grandma take my jade pendant? Jiang Xiaoman asked.

Jiang Xing was surprised. He didnt expect his mother to take away Xiaomans jade pendant.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Xing asked, Xiaoman, you If one day you have a father, will you leave your Uncle and Grandma?

Why would I have to leave you? Cant we just stay together forever?

HmmThats also true. Ah well, well talk about it when the time comes, Jiang Xing said. Your Grandma loves you very much. She beats and scolds you, which means she loves you. If she took your jade pendant, then just let her have it. If you really want one, Ill buy you a new one later.

But I only want that one.

Jiang Xiaoman didnt want it, but the system said that if they didnt get it back, it really would die. Although she was also very curious how the system would die, she couldnt really watch and let it die.

If it was dead, she would have no friends anymore.

Sigh, such a hassle.

Why did she have to suffer through all this at such a young age?

Thats fine, Uncle will talk to your Grandma once were home.

Only then did Xiaoman stop crying, and her tears turned into a smile.

She was very tired once they got home, and after washing up, she immediately laid down on the bed and fell asleep. She was still sobbing in her sleep; her nose and eyes were red from crying, and her face was full of tear marks.

Jiang Xing looked for Jiang Xiumei to talk about the jade pendant.

Mom, if Xiaoman wants the jade pendant, just give it to her. If you dont want to let her go, then you should spoil her. Children are clumsy and mischievous, and she had always liked to break plates ever since she was very small. But wouldnt it be better to let her break them? This way, she would only be able to blame herself and not you.

Jiang Xiumei didnt like listening to her son preach to her, but after thinking about it again, she felt that what he said made sense.

By taking away the jade pendant, wasnt she also helping Xiaoman keep it safe?

Xiaoman was getting even more and more incapable of staying still lately. Perhaps she would get careless and break the pendant, or feel that it didnt look that good and throw it away.

But Jiang Xiumei was still somewhat worried.

What if her biological parents cpme? What if they want to take her away? Jiang Xiumei asked anxiously.

Jiang Xing laughed and said, Mom, honestly, Ive been to many places with the logistics team the past year. There are many people who have lost their children. Ive seen a lot of missing people posters on the road and posted on walls. There are many people looking for children, but Ive never seen one looking for Xiaoman.

Her heart was still restless, but Jiang Xiumeis complexion became a bit better.

Hearing what he said, her restless mind calmed down a lot.

He was right.

They had raised her for so many years, but theyve never heard of a family coming to look for their lost child.

The jade pendant looked very valuable. If something like this could be given for a baby to wear, the family must be pretty well off, or at the very least, better off than them.
