Jian Mingyue Wets Her Pants
The venomous snake bared its fangs, lunging straight toward Jiang Taohua.
A malicious gleam flickered in Jian Mingyue’s eyes.
“Host, Jian Mingyue is trying to harm you with a venomous snake. Watch your back!”
Alerted by System 001, Jiang Taohua was prepared. When the snake flew toward her, she reacted swiftly, seizing it by the neck. No matter how it writhed and struggled, it was useless.
Thanks to the transformative effects of the well water, she now possessed the strength of an ox. If she couldn’t handle a single venomous snake, she’d lose all face.
Holding the snake, Jiang Taohua turned to look behind her. Jian Mingyue’s malicious smile hadn’t yet faded, frozen stiffly on her face in an awkward grimace.
Only when Jiang Taohua slowly approached her with the snake did Jian Mingyue realize the danger.
She stumbled backward, stammering, “What are you doing… You… Stay away from me!”
As the snake drew closer, Jian Mingyue felt her scalp tingle, a chill running down her spine.
She turned to the villagers for help.
“Wah… Save me… Someone save me!”
Some villagers, taken in by Jian Mingyue’s appearance, wanted to play the hero.
“You… Let go of that! It’s a venomous snake. One bite could kill someone!”
Ignoring him, Jiang Taohua coiled the snake around Jian Mingyue’s neck, making it look like a green scarf from a distance.
Jian Mingyue and the snake stared into each other’s eyes—an onlooker might have thought they’d taken a liking to each other.
“Ah!!” Jian Mingyue’s soul nearly left her body. She screamed and wet her pants in fright.
The snake bit her neck, and she fainted from sheer terror.
The startled snake slid off her and vanished in a flash.
Seeing Jian Mingyue collapse, the villagers erupted into chaos.
“Ah… She’s dead! Educated Youth Jian was bitten to death by the snake!”
“Is it really that serious? Is she actually dead?”
The scene became as noisy as a marketplace.
The production team leader coughed, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.
The team leader walked over and examined the spot where Educated Youth Jian had been bitten.
Was this even a wound?
The team leader couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
Jiang Taohua kicked Jian Mingyue hard. “Enough! Stop pretending to be dead!”
“Congratulations, Host, for angering the female protagonist. Reward: three yuan.”
Jian Mingyue’s eyelashes fluttered. Though clearly awake, she refused to open her eyes. Wetting her pants was too humiliating, and like an ostrich burying its head in the sand, she didn’t want to face everyone’s stares.
A mischievous grin spread across Jiang Taohua’s face as she pinched Jian Mingyue’s arm several times, hard.
Even with her arm bruised purple, Jian Mingyue still wouldn’t open her eyes. What a stubborn turtle.
“Wake up!” Jiang Taohua slapped Jian Mingyue’s face repeatedly, left and right, until both cheeks were swollen.
The villagers gasped in shock.
“Hiss… I have to say, Educated Youth Jiang really has a strong grip!”
“Even after all that, Educated Youth Jian still isn’t waking up. Could she really be unconscious?”
Jian Mingyue slowly opened her eyes, glaring furiously at Jiang Taohua. If she didn’t open them now, this wretched woman would torment her to death.
“Jiang Taohua, what do you think you’re doing? I’m the victim here! I was just bitten by a snake!”
“Victim?”
Jiang Taohua looked at her mockingly. “Your neck isn’t even broken—there’s just a faint bite mark. You call that being a victim?”
Hearing Jiang Taohua’s words, the villagers turned their attention to Jian Mingyue’s neck.
“Good heavens, she isn’t injured at all! She was just lying on the ground pretending to be dead.”
“Haha, how embarrassing, a proper educated youth wetting her pants.”
Jian Mingyue’s face flushed with a mix of shame and anger, feeling both humiliated and mortified.
Jiang Taohua, who could infuriate someone to death without any remorse, had no intention of letting her off so easily.
“Jian Mingyue, do you know why there’s no wound on your neck?”
“Why?” Jian Mingyue instinctively asked.
“Of course, it’s because your skin is so thick that even a snake couldn’t bite through it. I’ve never seen anyone with skin as thick as yours.”
Jian Mingyue finally understood—this wretched Jiang Taohua was indirectly calling her thick-skinned.
She gritted her teeth, suppressing the hatred in her eyes, comforting herself inwardly: For the mission, everything is for the mission.
“Congratulations, Host, for angering the female protagonist. You have earned three yuan.”
“Production team leader, Jiang Taohua is bullying me. Are you going to do something about it or not?”
The production team leader looked up at the sky and coughed. “Well, it might rain in the next few days. I don’t know why, but my hearing has been a bit off lately. I’d better hurry up and get back to work.”
Without paying any further attention to Jian Mingyue, the production team leader walked straight past her.
Jiang Taohua grinned, showing all eight teeth, a sight that Jian Mingyue found particularly grating.
“What are you looking at?”
“Nothing, I was just curious about what an educated youth looks like when they wet their pants.”
At the mention of this, Jian Mingyue suddenly felt a chill in her pants. She let out a sharp scream and dashed past everyone like a gust of wind.
By now, it was noon, and work had ended for the day. Wen Shunu rubbed her sore fingers and sighed, “Taohua, working is so exhausting. It’s pure torture.”
Jiang Taohua comforted her, “We’ll have many more days of work ahead. You’ll get used to it.”
Wen Shunu: That just makes me feel worse. You might as well not have comforted me at all.
When they returned to the educated youth point, Jian Mingyue had already changed into a fresh pair of pants and was sitting on a small stool in the yard, staring intently toward the kitchen.
Today, it was Yan Jinghong and Bai Jinchuan’s turn to cook in the kitchen. As the educated youth returned, they brought the food to the table.
Not far from the table was a wooden stump, where Jian Mingyue’s bowl had been placed. Clearly, everyone was avoiding her—the foul smell clinging to her would likely take two or three days to fade.
Jiang Taohua casually glanced at the dishes on the table.
Three dishes, one soup, and mixed-grain flatbread. When she took a bite, her eyes lit up. Who would have thought these two were such good cooks? The food was delicious.
As Jian Mingyue ate, her mind raced with furious thoughts, cursing the ancestors of every educated youth present.
Everyone’s expressions turned sour. They couldn’t openly curse back, since Jian Mingyue was secretly cursing them in her mind without uttering a word. They had no reason to retaliate.
[I just remembered, tomorrow Fat Girl, who went to visit relatives at her grandmother’s house, will be back. Then, at first sight, she’ll fall for Bai Jinchuan, secretly drug him, and force herself on him.]
[Tsk tsk, with Bai Jinchuan’s physique and Fat Girl weighing 150 pounds, I hope he doesn’t get crushed!]
Bai Jinchuan’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Fat Girl?
Forced intimacy?
Was his life really this tragic?
