Yu Wen was stripped completely naked, lying face down on the floor, with clear finger marks visible all over her body.
Zhou Yuanyao’s eyes turned red with rage!
Yu Wen was utterly stunned!
Why? Why were there finger marks?
“Ah!”
“Ah!”
Screams erupted simultaneously from both inside and outside the room!
Well, within two days, both parents had been seen completely exposed by their children!
Only, yesterday it was the daughter covering her eyes, today it was the son! Zhou Ye watched with a mocking gaze.
Weren’t they concerned about saving face?
Now they’ve lost all dignity!
Let’s see how the Zhou family survives this!
Suddenly understanding something, Yu Wen glared at Zhou Ye: “Was it you? Huh? Did you poison me? Was it?”
Zhou Ye lowered her head fearfully: “Aunt, I don’t know what you’re talking about? I… I…”
As if afraid of being beaten, she turned and ran!
She rushed out the door without a second thought. The onlookers outside were momentarily stunned, then seeing the wide-open door, they exchanged glances and, unable to resist their curiosity, swarmed inside!
“Ah…”
Screams came from upstairs…
What a delightful sound indeed!
Zhou Ye thought, did my screams in my previous life bring you such joy too? Probably yes…
This… is just the beginning!
Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhou Ye returned to the basement, locked the door behind her, and entered the dimension.
She planted the grain seeds she had bought today, thinking that perhaps soon she would be able to harvest plenty of food.
Looking at the endless land, Zhou Ye decided she would plant it full of grains, fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs!
In this lifetime, she would take revenge while enjoying life!
Returning to the courtyard, she drank the Spiritual Spring Water and fell into a deep sleep!
When she woke up, Zhou Ye deliberately went to look in the mirror and couldn’t help but laugh mockingly.
This body of hers would probably be even more needed by the Zhou family now!
I can’t wait much longer, so I can only accelerate your march toward death!
Checking the time – already 7 AM – she had just reached the living room when she sensed several hostile gazes.
Turning around, Zhou Ye smiled sweetly: “Aunt, sorry, I overslept!”
Yu Wen found that smile particularly grating. Last night, she had been seen naked by everyone, then tortured by Zhou Yuanyao.
And this morning, she had to see the instigator smiling?
“Zhou Ye, tell me honestly, did you tamper with something yesterday?” Yu Wen could no longer contain herself!
Zhou Ye looked at Yu Wen in surprise, noticing the person on the stairs, and asked pretendingly: “Aunt, you said Uncle was narrow-minded and asked me to make medicine for you to cover up those love marks! But… the medicine I made should have covered them! Was my medicine not effective?”
Yu Wen realized that this wretched girl was definitely doing it on purpose – her tone was anything but innocent!
Had she been deceived all this year?
Yet she had no evidence whatsoever!
“You… what kind of sorcery did you use?”
Zhou Ye tilted her head thoughtfully: “Maybe your lover was just too rough? Hmm, that must be it, my medicine always works! It must be!”
“You…” Yu Wen was furious and wanted to teach her a lesson, but Zhou Ye had already run away!
“Stop right there!”
“What’s all this noise? Haven’t we been humiliated enough?”
Zhou Yuanyao came downstairs with a dark expression!
Yu Wen didn’t dare say anything more and went to the kitchen to prepare a simple meal. The five of them ate in complete silence!
Zhou Yuanyao suddenly spoke up: “I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my job! We need to think of something!”
Yu Wen wanted to speak but didn’t dare! That person—she didn’t dare approach them!
Zhou Zijiao suddenly said: “Dad, when your boss visited last time, didn’t he take a liking to Zhou Ye? How about…?”
Zhou Yuanyao looked over…
Zhou Ye skipped breakfast and went to Ping’an Alley, the place where she had saved someone in her previous life—a wealthy merchant from Hong Kong with immense financial power and influence!
This lifetime, she would save the person and take the money!
As expected, an elderly man in his sixties lay collapsed in the alley, but this time, there was no one else around.
Zhou Ye pretended to pass by and quickly alleviated the old man’s condition using silver needles.
“Cough… Thank you, young lady!”
“No need to thank me, Grandpa. You have high blood pressure—you shouldn’t go out alone in the future!” Zhou Ye expressed concern.
“My surname is Yu, just call me Grandpa Yu! I’m so grateful for your help today. My family went to fetch something and will be here soon!”
Zhou Ye stayed and chatted with Grandpa Yu, unlike in her previous life when she was timid and withdrawn. Back then, after saving him, she merely mentioned being from the Zhou family and that her uncle was the director of the Steel Factory before leaving!
In the end, someone else took credit for her deed.
This time, no one would take advantage of her!
During their conversation, Grandpa Yu inadvertently learned about Zhou Ye’s background and felt deeply moved. When his family arrived, he specifically left his contact information, urging Zhou Ye to reach out directly if she needed anything.
“Child, I only have five hundred yuan on me—please take it! Here’s my phone number and address. If you ever need anything, just write or call me!”
Zhou Ye initially refused but eventually accepted.
“Thank you, Grandpa! I’ll take the money. May I go now?”
After Zhou Ye left, Grandpa Yu’s bodyguard remarked, “That girl seems quite fond of money! She didn’t hesitate to take it!”
Grandpa Yu chuckled, “What do you know? That girl was drawing a clear line with me! She’s a good kid!”
With the money in hand, Zhou Ye headed straight for the black market. The one near the hospital had powerful backing, so it was safe to go there.
Eggs? Buy them all! Pork? Buy a whole pig!
Flawed fabric? Buy it all!
Iron pots? Buy! Farming tools? Buy!
She even came across someone selling fruit saplings—regardless of the type, she bought them all!
Finally, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought over ten varieties of vegetable seeds!
Now, Zhou Ye felt somewhat relieved—she had secured grains, vegetables, and fruits! However, the five hundred yuan was completely spent!
Money really doesn’t last long!
She needed to find a way to withdraw some of that hundred thousand!
Seeing that it was still early, Zhou Ye disguised herself in her dimension. When she emerged, she had transformed into an elderly woman.
She took her bankbook to the bank, intending to withdraw ten thousand yuan, but there wasn’t enough cash available, so she only took five thousand!
For now, that would suffice.
Today was bound to be an eventful day!
“Let me go! Help! Someone help!”
Hidden under a tree, Zhou Ye looked over.
Zhou Ziyue was being dragged by a group of people toward a civilian house. She struggled desperately, cursing her terrible luck!
She had only wanted to browse the black market to see if she could buy some fabric and make that wretched girl sew her a few new clothes. Who knew she would run into these thugs!
Zhou Ye watched coldly. In her previous life, she had coincidentally encountered the scene and desperately tried to save Zhou Ziyue, only to sacrifice herself in the process.
At such a tender age, already plagued by insecurity, this discovery gave the Zhou family even more leverage against her.
The bullying intensified! They showed no gratitude for her saving Zhou Ziyue, instead viewing her as tainted! In this lifetime, you won’t even get the chance to be tainted!
Just as Zhou Ziyue was about to be dragged inside, Zhou Ye appeared!
Yes, Zhou Ye wanted to witness it with her own eyes, hear it with her own ears!
“Zhou Ye, Zhou Ye, save me!”
Zhou Ziyue’s eyes flickered with anticipation, with excitement!
Zhou Ye was much prettier than her—she was going to be saved!
The moment the gang leader saw Zhou Ye, his eyes lit up!
“Hey, pretty girl!”
Zhou Ye seemed oblivious to the lewdness in the gangster’s eyes… slowly approaching!
“Yo, the little beauty’s coming over! Boss, we’ve got some charm, huh!”
“Haha… come on, let’s have some fun together!”
Zhou Ziyue pleaded, “Big brothers, please let me go! Look, she’s much prettier, she’s better looking than me! She’s my sister, I beg you!”
The gang leader, a bald-headed man, chuckled darkly, “Pretty girl, come on! Since you’re sisters, why not join in?”
Zhou Ye approached and whispered softly, “Need money?”
The gang leader was taken aback—of course he did!
“What do you mean, pretty girl?”
Zhou Ziyue shouted loudly, “Zhou Ye, save me quickly, or I’ll have my parents beat you to death when we get back!”
Zhou Ye sneered, “See? Her, Zhou Ziyue! Keep having your fun. Here’s five hundred—consider it a gift.”
The gang leader had kidnapped Zhou Ziyue for money in the first place. These days, someone dressed so well was hard to come by!
Five hundred? That was far more than he had expected!
Something flickered in the gang leader’s eyes. “Deal!”
“No, don’t! Zhou Ye, what are you trying to do? I won’t let you get away with this! How dare you? How dare you!”
No matter how fiercely Zhou Ziyue screamed, she was still dragged inside.
The only difference was that the gang leader didn’t go in.
“You two have a grudge?”
Zhou Ye remained silent.
The gang leader chuckled and extended his hand. “Miss, you can call me Bald Head. After all, you’re my big client now!”
Only then did Zhou Ye look at him. “Dare to kill?”
Bald Head was stunned!
Suddenly, he laughed. “As long as the money’s right, there’s no such thing as dare or don’t dare!”
Zhou Ye smiled carelessly, but her words were as cold as winter ice. “Another five hundred. I want… her dead.”
Zhou Ziyue, you’re the first!
