nA Three and Half Year Old Villainess (1)

nJiang Xiaoman had a nightmare.

nIn her dream, she saw her uncle lying completely motionless in a pool of blood, his face completely pale. The pool of blood kept spreading wider and wider, its color getting thicker and darker as it gradually merged with the dark of night…

nAs if her nose smelled the thick smell of blood, Jiang Xiaoman opened her eyes and cried out. “Waa!”

nJust as she cried out, she immediately remembered that her grandmother had always been coughing lately and couldn’t sleep well. Tonight, it looked like the coughs finally subsided. Afraid of disturbing her rest, she quickly shut her mouth and cried in silence.

nShe sobbed and wept until she was out of breath. It was very pitiful.

n“Mi, mister System…” Jiang Xiaoman’s two chubby little hands twisted the pillow cover as she cried until she was out of breath. She stammered, “My, my uncle was beaten by someone… I saw a lot of blood.”

nJiang Xiaoman was a precocious child who was wise beyond her age. While other children were still being deceived by old wives tales like the Old Mama Tiger, she had long been taught popular science by the system and knew that it was just deception. She knew that people could die if they bleed out, and people who die would never wake up again. It was different than just sleeping.

nThe system helplessly sighed, “I already told the host, this is something that will happen sooner or later.”

nWhen it was bound to her when she was three years old, the system told Jiang Xiaoman that she was the real daughter in a story of fake and real daughters, and she was dealt the cannon fodder script.

nAfter losing their daughter, her wealthy parents adopted a girl who resembled her and poured their love for her on the fake daughter. Meanwhile, her life after being lost was miserable and unsatisfactory.

nWhen she reached the age of four, the family who adopted Jiang Xiaoman would be destroyed. First, Jiang Xiaoman’s uncle would get into a fight with someone and die from his injuries after the doctor failed to save him. After that, her grandmother couldn’t handle the blow and followed suit.

nJiang Xiaoman would become an utterly unwanted child. Going from one place to another, sometimes struggling even to eat, she would grow up in a life full of hardships. She would only be reunited with her wealthy parents when she was fifteen, and finally ended her life of poverty in the backwater mountain region.

nIt’s just that Jiang Xiaoman was still too young. Even after the system talked at length, saying in righteous indignation about how outrageous it was that the fake daughter would take everything from her, she was still confused. She didn’t understand what a cannon fodder supporting female cast meant; she didn’t even know how to write the word evil.

nShe could only pick up the parts that she understood; the system said that with her origin, she should’ve been free to do whatever she wanted, no need to be hard on herself.

nThat night, Jiang Xiaoman told her grandmother that she would eat twice her daily quota of candies and snacks, she would not eat the carrots that she hated, and she would not go to bed until she finished watching the cartoons. In the end, not only did it not go the way she wanted, but she was also spanked by her grandmother.

nGrandma had a temper, but she usually doted on Jiang Xiaoman a lot and did not easily lay her hand on children. Because of the system’s words, Jiang Xiaoman suffered a lesson without understanding why. She clutched her small butt feeling greatly wronged, and never dared to make unreasonable demands anymore. She also no longer cared about her identity as the villainess.

nUntil she had such a dream tonight.

nJiang Xiaoman had already had the same dream for several days, but the dream was very blurry on the previous days. Tonight was the first time that she could clearly see what happened.

nCould uncle really encounter a calamity like the one in the dream? She hadn’t seen her uncle for many days.

nJiang Xiaoman was very scared. She cried but didn’t dare to cry loudly, so she twisted the pillow cover with both hands and bit it as hard as she could to silence her sobs.

n“I don’t want Uncle to die, I don’t want Grandma to die. I don’t want to be an unwanted child.” Jiang Xiaoman wiped her tears. “Mr. System, don’t you have any way?”

nShe knew that the system was very powerful. Whenever she cried, it could magically create snacks like candies and cookies for her. Grandmother would not let her eat sweets too often in case it ruins her teeth. At that time, she would secretly exchange her points with the system.
