This Is Clearly a Curse!

Chapter 3 This is a damn curse!

These two people were playing good cop, bad cop, their acting so superb it could win an Oscar.

If it were the old Jiang You, seeing this scene, she would definitely feel guilty and tell Li Tianming that she wouldn't go to school anymore.

But now, Jiang You watched the couple act with leisure.

She only felt they were born actors.

At the same time, she pitied her own life, which had been a lie for over a decade. They had used countless similar tricks to make her compromise.

"Moving from the countryside to the city wasn't what you always dreamed of? Why are you acting like you're the one who lost out?

Back then, you weren't the only relative who wanted to be my guardian and take care of me. Other uncles and elder uncles were all fighting to move into the city. You guys shamelessly snatched this opportunity for yourselves.

Aunt, you're making a fuss after getting what you wanted, like a prostitute wanting a monument.

Do you still think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Seeing that she was unmoved and had even completely overturned everything from back then.

Ge Chunhua realized that her niece had grown up, and perhaps she had heard things recently.

Her greatest confidence was that Jiang You had a soft personality, had been brainwashed since childhood, valued this kindness greatly, and was very obedient.

But now, Jiang You had somehow opened her mind, making it difficult for them to control her.

So, her tone softened.

"Xiao You, your uncle at least raised you. Just consider it helping your uncle.

It's also your good-for-nothing cousin's fault for owing a lot of money outside. We really have no choice!

That Boss Wang's son, although a bit simple, can take care of himself.

You won't have to serve him after marrying him, and there will be endless money!

Auntie will kneel and beg you, just help your uncle!

If you don't help your uncle, your cousin will definitely be beaten to death by loan sharks. If he dies, your uncle won't want to live either.

You don't want to see your uncle wishing he were dead, do you?

I don't want to implicate you either, but your cousin is an idiot, and they don't fancy her.

It's your excellent college entrance exam results this year that they want a smart daughter-in-law like you!"

Li Tianming remained silent, his eyes red and tearful as he looked at Jiang You with guilt.

Ge Chunhua knelt on the ground, begging her in a low voice.

It was as if she was the culprit who caused all this, and if she didn't agree, she would be committing a heinous crime.

If it were before, Jiang You would never have dared to let her kneel before her and would have cried herself to death with guilt.

But now.

"For an elder to kneel before a junior is to shorten their lifespan. It seems you truly hate me and wish for my early death."

Ge Chunhua waved her hands repeatedly. Jiang You was a naive little girl, foolish and soft-hearted, the easiest to coax.

Just as she was about to say some kind words, she heard Jiang You continue.

"How much betrothal gift did that Boss Wang give you to make you beg me so humbly?"

It was estimated that the money Li Haochen owed outside was a huge sum.

After all, Ge Chunhua had never bowed her head so low in front of her since she was young.

She would mention the kindness of raising her every day to manipulate her, but after saying so many lies, she even started to believe them herself.

She even truly felt that she had been immensely kind to Jiang You.

Jiang You looked at Ge Chunhua's stiff smile with some curiosity.

In her previous life, after she refused to marry Boss Wang's son, although Li Tianming and his wife begged her for a few days, they eventually gave up and stopped mentioning it.

She thought the matter was over.

But within two days, they had drugged her dinner and let Boss Wang's foolish son in, intending to force the issue.

Although they didn't succeed in the end, it was disgusting.

In the hospital, her uncle knelt before her and apologized, saying he didn't expect that Boss Wang's foolish son could climb through the window and the like.

He pushed all the blame onto that foolish son.

In any case, he never mentioned the drugging.

Even to prove his innocence, he committed suicide. Facing the uncle who had raised her for many years, Jiang You chose to believe him again.

Ge Chunhua hesitated for a moment, "One million."

Jiang You said, "Swear that if you are lying, you and your husband will be hit by a car tomorrow, and Li Yingyue will marry a domestically abusive and perverted man for the rest of her life, unable to escape or get rid of him, and will be beaten to death.

Li Haochen will have his hands and feet cut off by loan sharks, and his future sons will be born without an anus!

Li Haoxuan will engage in gambling, whoring, drinking, smoking, cheating, and stealing, and will spend his life in prison, ultimately eating a bullet!"

"May all your maternal relatives die a horrible death, and may dogs dig up all your ancestors' graves!"

Ge Chunhua gasped, waiting for Jiang You with a mixture of anger and shock. What kind of oath is this?!

This damned girl was clearly cursing her!

Some people in this world were truly strange; the more bad deeds they committed, the more guilty they felt, and the more they clung to Buddhism.

Ge Chunhua was one of those people.

So, she gritted her teeth and spoke again, "Six million!"

Li Tianming shot his wife a glare, then turned his gaze back to Jiang You, saying with a tremble, "Xiao You, it's your uncle who's failed you, it's your uncle who's useless!"

Ge Chunhua's eyes lit up. Since Jiang You had asked, she must be about to agree!

Hmph, just a little girl, still completely in my grasp!

On the top right corner of the page, there are functions such as "Switch Traditional/Simplified," "Adjust Font Size," and "Reading Background Color."

"If you agree to marry Boss Wang's son, we can talk about anything! It really is only six million, I'm not lying to you! As long as you save your cousin this time, your aunt will owe you for life! I'll treat you like my own daughter!"

Jiang You nodded, appearing to compromise. "I didn't expect I'd be quite so valuable, actually worth six million. I can marry him, but I have conditions. Give me the belongings my father left behind. Especially that jade bracelet. That bracelet isn't worth much, but it's the token of love between my parents, it has special meaning. Move out of my house before dark tomorrow. Also, I want four million for the bride price. The remaining two million can be used to pay off your debts. If you agree to these conditions, I'll agree to have the wedding in a month."

Mentioning the belongings her father left behind, Jiang You's eyes dimmed.

"You want four million? You're not old, but your appetite is quite large!" Ge Chunhua pouted. "You're just a young girl, aren't you afraid of trouble carrying so much money? Why don't you let your uncle keep it? You know he dotes on you the most, he would never harm you!" She winked at Li Tianming.

If she remembered correctly, by this time, her eldest cousin had already been caught by debt collectors. Otherwise, Li Tianming and his wife wouldn't be so anxious. They had even considered marrying off her cousin, but Boss Wang had stated he wanted a girl who was good-looking, educated, and smart. Although her cousin was decent-looking, she was solely focused on her appearance, her grades were a mess, and she'd gotten into a third-tier university through money. After Boss Wang investigated, he rejected her.

Boss Wang's own son was an idiot with violent tendencies; he had already beaten two wives to death. Therefore, Boss Wang was now offering a particularly high price, wanting a girl with good academic performance, but not too pretty—too pretty meant she wasn't trustworthy. However, this wasn't the era of not having enough to eat or wear anymore. Even parents with a bit of conscience, despite their preference for sons, wouldn't stand by and watch their own daughters go to their deaths. This few million, despite the high price, was clearly blood money!

Moreover, Boss Wang's requirements weren't low. Although he didn't want a too-pretty girl, he wanted to find a smart and outstanding girl to improve his grandson's genes. He hoped the next generation wouldn't be idiots. Even more so, he wanted a clean girl, someone who hadn't dated. In his eyes, good grades probably equated to intelligence.

Anyway, Jiang You had always known she wasn't a smart person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have spent over ten years living side-by-side with them and still not seen the wolves around her, treating them as benefactors.

"Then I won't marry. You can't possibly tie me up and force me, this is a new society now. If something happens to me, if I'm married to Boss Wang's son against my will, I'll find a way to torment him and kill him. After all, we'll be husband and wife, it'll be easy for me to do." Jiang You glanced lightly at Li Tianming. "Uncle, you're getting married, not making an enemy, right? Guess what would happen to Boss Wang's son in my hands? Would he let you off?"

Li Tianming was about to open his mouth to coax her, saying they wouldn't get married. But Jiang You's gaze swept over him, and she added, "If you say one word about not marrying, then I really won't marry. So don't be fake."

Li Tianming lowered his head again, feigning guilt, and sighed.

"You wouldn't dare!" Ge Chunhua immediately retorted.

What would happen to her son if she had no money?

The loan sharks had threatened to remove her son's qi guan and sell it if the debt wasn't repaid!

Jiang You stared at him intently. "Whether I dare or not, you'll find out if you try."

Ge Chunhua looked at her niece standing before her and felt intimidated.

Her son's life was at stake; she couldn't afford to gamble.

Those eyes, as dark as ink, sent a chill through Li Tianming.

For some reason, he felt like the Jiang You in front of him had become a different person, giving off an indescribable, strange feeling.

The original her would always be quiet, no matter what happened, at most hiding away to cry softly.

She never talked back to him, but now she was like a little hedgehog with thorns all over its body.

Thinking this, he hardened his heart, raised his hand, and slapped Ge Chunhua hard across the face.

"Slap!"

"Enough!

Little You has already done everything she possibly could to help our family! What more do you want to force her to do?!

That six million was originally hers. As her uncle, I was incapable of providing a dowry, and now I even have to use part of her bride price to pay off debts. I already feel terrible about it! If you push Little You any further, I'll divorce you!!"

He roared, his face red.

If Jiang You hadn't been reborn, she would have truly believed he was acting under duress and genuinely felt sorry for his niece.

What great acting, but unfortunately, the audience was already awake.
