Chapter 1279 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 1
Chapter 1279 The Divorced Merchant's Daughter 1
"Host sister, we're rich! We're rich! We're rich!"
When I opened my eyes again, 003's excited voice reached my ears.
It's clear they've had a great haul.
"How many?"
Shu Jiao was also a little curious: how much profit did they ultimately gain from all that “hard work” they put into killing a bunch of idiots in the last world?
"Let's split it evenly, 118,900 each!"
003 was overjoyed, "They were all sold at the highest price."
Nearly 120,000!
What's the difference between this and finding money on the street?
"The last world was so much better."
Looking at her rapidly increasing points and savings, Shu Jiao couldn't help but sigh.
Although those guys were a bit stupid and annoying, their practice of giving out points was still commendable.
"Hoohoho~"
003 laughed loudly, "They're all so envious of us."
Eat your fill at a buffet!
"One more time will do."
Shu Jiao said expectantly.
003 shook his head slightly, "That possibility is too low. Besides, not all pseudo-hosts carrying counterfeit products are as easy to kill as they were in the last world."
“A friend of mine had a host who fell into the world of cultivation and had cheat codes everywhere. In that situation, let alone collecting counterfeit products to exchange for points, he almost died in there himself.”
"But it is indeed a pity."
"In that world, counterfeit and inferior products are worth many times more points."
As they talked, 003 became a little eager, "Maybe catching one could be worth tens or hundreds of thousands of points."
Unlike them...
After killing so many people, they only ended up with 110,000.
Tsk~
Cheap stuff.
Shu Jiao raised an eyebrow slightly. "Then it depends on luck."
"Of course."
003 said regretfully.
After chatting for a while, Shu Jiao took stock of the densely packed, mountain-like gold, silver, jewels, magical artifacts, and elixirs in her storeroom...
Not bad.
"Actually, that Multiverse Mall is not bad."
Shu Jiao felt a little sorry for the counterfeit products that 003 had sold.
"Host sister, don't think about it anymore,"
003's tone was unusually serious, "We are legitimate employees. If we use those smuggled, counterfeit products, we'll easily be labeled as smugglers by the Heavenly Dao and ostracized."
Being rejected by the Heavenly Dao is far too risky.
Not only is the risk high, but the Heavenly Dao will also think of you as a temporary worker who hasn't been officially hired yet, so the pay will be reduced.
“It’s not worth it!”
003 spoke earnestly and meaningfully.
"Okay, okay, I was just nagging you. Why are you looking so gloomy?"
Shu Jiao chuckled and rubbed the 003 twice. "Let's go, to the next world."
003: ...
"Alright, let's go!"
003's tone instantly brightened again, thinking to himself:
How could it not worry?
I'd heard before that a host was disobedient, insisting that selling the counterfeit products wasn't worthwhile, and that the alternatives in the store were too expensive, so he ignored the system's advice and insisted on keeping them.
As a result, he stumbled into a higher-dimensional world, where he was closely watched by the Heavenly Dao, and all his cheat abilities were completely blocked.
He died a horrible death in the end.
Not bad~
Its good host is very obedient.
003 chuckled and instantly transported Shu Jiao to a different world.
As soon as Shu Jiao opened her eyes, she felt a gust of hot air.
Take a look outside.
The moonlight is hazy, and the cicadas and insects chirp; it is the height of summer.
"Cough cough..."
Suddenly, her body instinctively coughed twice, and Shu Jiao realized how weak and tired her body was.
Immediately, a small elixir was swallowed.
"San'er, the plot."
"Come on!"
003 acted quickly, and the plot was transmitted in time.
The original owner's storyline was somewhat cliché.
The original owner, Shu Jiao, was the only daughter of a merchant family with a relatively wealthy background.
Back then, after careful selection from among a group of people, they chose to marry Zhang Zizhao, an unmarried, poor scholar with excellent talent, appearance, and even reputation.
That's why they say marrying down means swallowing needles.
After marrying into the family with a generous dowry, the original owner managed everything inside and outside the home, only telling Zhang Zizhao to study hard, pass the imperial examinations, and become an official's wife in the future.
Never thought about it.
This Zhang family is really not a good place to go.
Zhang Zizhao's family enjoyed the wonderful life brought by the original owner's dowry while criticizing her for being extravagant, wasteful, and vulgar. They considered themselves to be a noble and scholarly family and looked down on the original owner, who was just a merchant's daughter.
Especially Zhang Zizhao's grandmother.
The mother who tormented Zhang Zizhao back then was a landlord's daughter who also married into the family because she valued Zhang's father's talent and potential.
Right now, they are relentlessly tormenting the original owner.
Zhang's mother made a wrong bet back then.
Despite his diligent studies over many years, Zhang's father only managed to pass the lowest level of the imperial examination, becoming a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations).
He was too ashamed to find a job, yet he wanted to appear cultured and cultivate his reputation, so he used up all of Zhang's mother's dowry.
My family is poor.
Zhang's father had two sons.
He valued his eldest son, Zhang Zizhao, and placed all his hopes for the Zhang family to produce a top scholar on Zhang Zizhao.
But these days, how difficult it is to support a scholar!
He taught Zhang Zizhao to pass the imperial examination and become a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the lowest level of the imperial examinations). After that, he still had to go to school. In addition, there were expenses for writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, historical books, and even the clothes and accessories of scholars. All of these things cost money.
Which one isn't expensive?
What a coincidence.
The original owner chose the Zhang family because they benefited from Zhang's mother's influence and had a good reputation, and Zhang Zizhao was also very handsome.
After considering the future expenses for Zhang Zizhao's education and household expenses, Zhang Jiayi nodded in agreement.
They were clearly after the original owner's money, but in the end, they all felt that Zhang Zizhao had been wronged.
How shameless!
The moment the original owner entered the house, she was spotted by Grandmother Zhang and Mother Zhang.
Having been tormented by the Zhang family grandmother for many years, Zhang's mother not only showed no sympathy for the original owner, but also became an accomplice of the Zhang family grandmother, bullying the original owner even more severely.
But no way.
She's already married into the family.
The original owner had no choice but to swallow her anger and take good care of the family, managing all the household affairs, which earned her a reputation for being virtuous.
She hadn't conceived in the two years she was married to Zhang Zizhao.
She got pregnant again, and it was another daughter.
This displeased the Zhang family.
Grandmother Zhang and Mother Zhang frequently mocked the original owner of this body over this matter, and even arranged for Zhang Zizhao to take a concubine.
However, Zhang Zizhao refused, saying that he only wanted to study and didn't want to be distracted.
The original owner did indeed make the right bet.
Zhang Zizhao passed the imperial examination at the age of twenty-something, which was already considered a sign of exceptional talent.
He went to the capital to take up an official post, leaving his family behind in his hometown, to be cared for by the original owner.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Zizhao, who had risen to the rank of fifth-grade official in the Ministry of Revenue, sent people to bring his entire family to the capital.
The original owner went happily.
Upon arrival, I was first struck by the magnificent official residence, and then led by the butler to a secluded corner.
Let's walk and walk~
We arrived at the most secluded courtyard on the west side—Anxi Courtyard.
What's going on?
The original owner was puzzled and tried to leave with her eight-year-old daughter, Zhang Shu, who had come into the courtyard with her.
Then she heard a servant call her "Auntie".
They weren't even allowed to leave the courtyard.
They locked the mother and daughter inside.
The original owner was furious.
You Zhang family! You eat my food and use my things, and in the end, I, your lawfully wedded wife, have become a concubine?!
The original owner was causing a huge scene in the courtyard and even wanted to sue Zhang Zizhao.
