Chapter 4
I Can’t Afford It Anymore
Jiang Xi tilted her head slightly. After thinking hard for a while, she finally understood who the person Zheng Rong, Jiang Da, and Yang Fen had mentioned. Oh, it was that idiot. Jiang Xi touched her neck. There were many overlapping red marks on her neck, some of which had already turned purple and black. These were evidence that the original owner had hung herself.
After Yang Fen finished speaking, she did not wait for Jiang Xi’s reply. Since Jiang Xi had hung herself for the third time yesterday, Yang Fen had been completely relieved. Jiang Xi had hung herself three times and still had not died. This showed that Jiang Xi had a very good life! Yang Fen was not worried that Jiang Xi would take things too hard and hang herself. She was only worried about whether the beam that Jiang Xi had chosen to hang herself on was expensive. She could not afford to compensate them!
Her second brother, Jiang Er, and her third brother, Jiang Shan, also said a few words to Jiang Xi, but Jiang Xi did not pay much attention to them. It was not until Yang Fen closed the door and was about to leave that Jiang Xi slowly came back to her senses and said slowly, “It’s my ex-fiancé’s wedding. I have to go and congratulate him.” Jiang Xi’s face was expressionless. Even a mental patient knew how to be polite. Jiang Xi did not know why she wanted to go, but she just felt that he should go!
At the thought of this, the heavy depression in Jiang Xi’s heart suddenly dissipated, as if it was the remaining emotions of the original owner of the body, a remnant of unwillingness.
“But what should I gift them? What should one give for the wedding? My ex-fiancé is getting married, so what should I give him as an ex-fiancé?” Jiang Xi staggered out of the house and mumbled with a dazed look in her eyes. Her delicate appearance was particularly lovable. Jiang Xi, who was obsessed with what gifts to give for a wedding, did not notice that all the villagers had retreated wherever she went.
“Jiang Xi is here. Look after the beams of our house. She’s here to commit suicide!” The wind carried the faint cries of children and the running sounds of various households.
A child shouted, “My house has just been renovated. The beams are not fixed yet. You can hang yourself in another house!”
Another child shouted, “Jiang Xi, my mother said you’re not allowed to use my house’s beam!”
The children shouted as they ran. Those who did not know better would think that Jiang Xi had done something unforgivable!
Jiang Xi walked on the road of the Happy Village and heard the words said by the entire village. This feeling seemed to be similar to the one she had felt at Zhoushan Mental Hospital.
Happy Village was a well-known big village. There were many small villages around it, and among them, Happy Village was the richest. However, the Jiang family was an exception. A young boy could eat until his father became poor. Not to mention that Yang Fen was a capable person who had four sons in one go. Now, except for Jiang Da, the eldest son, who had married a wife and was living a happy life, the other three were still unmarried men of older age. Sometimes, Yang Fen would think about who was that one could think about getting rich after having children. Her family had a bunch of children now, but why did their days keep getting poorer and poorer? Yang Fen was worried to death when she thought of her remaining sons getting married and having children.
However, all of this had nothing to do with Jiang Xi. It was not easy for her to cross over from Zhoushan Mental Hospital to this strange little village. Everything was new to Jiang Xi. She even enjoyed watching a woman on the street getting her butt touched by a hooligan and then fighting with him. She did not forget to applaud the woman who won when she left. The only thing that Jiang Xi could not get used to was that she did not have a group of underlings around her. She kind of missed the director of Zhoushan Mental Hospital. The director would tremble in fear and cry whenever he went out.
“How much for this?” Jiang Xi dragged her light body through the crowd and stopped when she saw a particularly domineering thing in the surrounding shops. It was so domineering that the pedestrians could not help but avoid it. They did not dare to get too close or even look at it.
Upon hearing Jiang Xi’s voice, the waiter in the shop raised his eyelids and said, “The one you want is the biggest one in the store? Who do you want to give it to? When did the person disappear? This price is a little high, but we can deliver it to your home.” When the shop assistant saw Jiang Xi’s face and saw that she was young, he hesitated for a moment. This shop assistant was famous for his strong life, which was why he dared to come to this shop to work as a shop assistant. He had been working as a shop assistant for several years, but this was the first time he had seen a young girl come to buy things in person. Ordinary young girls who passed by the store would turn pale and run away, but what about Jiang Xi? She touched here and there, and her face was full of curiosity.
