Fight magic with magic

The Jiang Fans in the livestream saw another opening and started acting self-righteous again.

[Shen Yunzhi is all talk. She's never actually done anything worthwhile.]

[Yunli already has it so rough, and she still sends things to her birth parents all the time!]

[Shen Yunzhi says her adoptive parents abused her, so fine, she doesn't want to give them money. But the villagers helped her so much. Why hasn't she helped lift them out of poverty?]

[LMAO, quit pretending to be some great philanthropist.]

The paid trolls Jiang Yunli's studio had prepared also began flooding in.

They caught even the casual viewers completely off guard.

A crowd of relatives stood there ordering Shen Yunzhi around and criticizing her.

They simply failed to notice the strange looks the surrounding villagers were giving them.

As for the money Shen Yunzhi gave the village, the village chief had personally told them about it.

He had told them not to let word get out.

Otherwise, Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen would definitely make a scene.

That money went toward building roads in the village, repairing houses, or buying livestock and crop seeds.

Over the past few years, the money Shen Yunzhi had spent on the village added up to nearly a million yuan.

Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen had never noticed anything amiss.

They had thought government policies had simply become that generous.

Finally, some villagers could no longer stand watching and prepared to speak up for Shen Yunzhi.

Someone quick on the draw hurriedly held them back and whispered, "Yunzhi hasn't said anything yet... forget it."

An older woman beside them also urged quietly, "Just bear with it, and it'll pass. As long as we know what really happened."

"So we're just letting them trample all over Yunzhi?"

"She's such a good girl..."

Shen Yunzhi wasn't remotely intimidated by these meddling relatives.

Over the years, they had already kicked up countless scenes.

One or two more hardly made a difference.

Shen Yunzhi was even thinking of playing dumb and acting crazy again.

Finally, some villagers who couldn't hold back any longer stepped forward to protect Shen Yunzhi.

"Don't you people go too far!"

"Yunzhi gave us plenty of money in private. She just won't give any to you. Doesn't hearing that make you furious?"

"The village chief holds all the money Yunzhi gives us. Did you think the seeds and livestock handed out every year, and the combine harvesters brought in from outside, were all free?"

Those few remarks from the villagers left Shen Yonggui, Wang Dezhen, and the meddling relatives they had brought along dumbfounded.

Wait a minute...

Hadn't they said Shen Yunzhi had never donated any money to the village? That was why they had used this excuse to charge into battle alongside the couple.

They had figured they could pick up a few benefits themselves.

But judging by the villagers' current stance...

If they kept making trouble...

These people would no longer be villagers.

They would be unruly troublemakers.

Jiang Yunli's manager had been lurking in the livestream the whole time.

The moment he sensed this reversal would cause trouble, he hurriedly told the paid trolls still boosting engagement and slandering Shen Yunzhi to stop.

But even the casual viewers had noticed something was wrong.

[Why are these people still spamming this stuff?]

[Exactly. Didn't the villagers all say Shen Yunzhi secretly gave them money?]

The paid trolls had previously blended in among real viewers' comments. With so many comments flying by, they hadn't looked quite so fake.

Now that the situation had reversed, the haters who had been kicking her while she was down vanished.

The paid accounts endlessly repeating the same few lines looked like fake humans.

[I've seen that line about Shen Yunzhi being ungrateful and forgetting everything the other villagers did for her spammed so many times.]

[Holy shit, they're all paid trolls!]

[Whose way did Shen Yunzhi get in? They go after her like she's Japanese every single day.]

The villagers all remembered Shen Yunzhi's kindness.

They were nothing like those two ingrates, Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen.

"Last year, the village needed twenty thousand yuan to build a road. You two threw tantrums and refused to pay a single cent. Yunzhi secretly covered the shortfall in the end!"

"You won't part with a penny yourselves, and you have the nerve to criticize someone else?"

Their words left Shen Yonggui without much ground to stand on, but he still blustered on and tried to drag Shen Yunzhi out from behind the villagers.

"You rotten brat! You've got all that money, and you've been hiding it from us? You'd rather support outsiders than us?! Get out here!"

The meddling relatives now all knew Shen Yunzhi had plenty of money in her pockets.

To get a whole crowd of villagers to defend her...

How much money must she have poured into this place!

What kind of decent relatives would have followed Shen Yonggui and Wang Dezhen here to make trouble for Shen Yunzhi?

They immediately saw dollar signs.

They helped Shen Yonggui block the villagers so they could drag Shen Yunzhi out.

"What a disgrace to the family. Yonggui, I'll help you!"

"Me too!"

"We have to tie this rotten brat up and make her kneel in the ancestral hall!"

The villagers grew anxious too.

They stood in front of Shen Yunzhi.

"Don't try anything! We'll call for help!"

Relative A said, "Go ahead!"

Relative B rolled up his sleeves, revealing his muscles. "I'm telling you, I'm a retired sanda fighter. You'd better behave!"

An older village woman spat straight into his face. "Well, I just got discharged from a top-tier hospital! Touch me, and I'll drop dead right in front of you!"

Shen Yunzhi: "..."

The meddling relatives: "..."

The comments: [...]

An elderly village man also stepped forward, trembling as he leaned on his cane. "You've never even heard of the illnesses I have. If you dare lay a finger on me, I'll extort you until you're bankrupt."

"..."

"..."

[Fight magic with magic.]

[A fighter meets someone who falls apart after one hit.]

[Who do these meddling relatives think they are, taking on our top-tier aunties and uncles?]

[May I ask, does these two heroes' passive damage continuously wipe out the enemy's funds, for however long they choose?]
