Chapter 109: Derivative World

　　Jiang Youtao was stunned for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Youtao ignored her, Jiang Min patiently asked again: "Teacher, can you show me your pen?"

　　The matter-of-fact tone in her voice made Jiang Youtao very unhappy. She changed her sitting position and snorted, "Sorry, no."

　　This pen was given to Jiang Youtao by Gu Nianwei. It is a Hero brand pen and is of great collection value. She has used this pen to mark homework since she started being a teacher and she cherishes it very much.

　　She and Jiang Min didn't know each other, so why should she let her see it? Because she was the 12th female lead? She knew a lot of female leads, but she didn't see any of them coming up to her and asking for things like Jiang Min did?

　　Jiang Youtao is usually very generous and likes to share any good things with others, but this does not include such impolite children.

　　Jiang Min didn't expect her request to be rejected. She was stunned for a moment, then she saw Jiang Youtao writing and drawing on the table again. She was very angry. She pouted and muttered softly, "Stingy."

　　It would have been fine if Jiang Youtao hadn't heard it, but it was even worse if she had. She decided to teach this fake kid, who, from the name of the small world, was obviously reborn, a lesson.

　　"My dear, are we familiar with each other? We are not familiar with each other, right? This is the first time we meet, right? Then, as two people meeting for the first time, if I ask you for something, will you give it to me?" After being a teacher for a long time, Jiang Youtao felt that his self-cultivation had improved a lot.

　　When Jiang Min went to Jiang Youtao to ask for something, the teachers in the office who had no classes paid attention to them. When they heard Jiang Youtao reject Jiang Min, they felt relieved.

　　Jiang Min would come to school with Zhou Yuying from time to time. When she came, she would rummage around. If she saw someone else there, she would ask is she can borrow it and take a look.

　　It would be embarrassing for everyone not to give it. Although teacher Zhou Yuying is a little confused when it comes to household affairs, she is impeccable at work. If anyone has any problems, they can go to her and she will help in any way she can.

　　Out of consideration for Zhou Yuying, everyone gave it to Jiang Min. However, after giving it to her, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

　　Jiang Min stared at Jiang Youtao with wide eyes, pursed her lips and said nothing, tears slowly welling up in her eyes.

　　Jiang Youtao's heart was as hard as tofu frozen in the snow in winter and was not moved at all.

　　She continued, "Since we are not familiar with each other, is there anything wrong with me not agreeing to lend you my things? Is that stingy?"

　　Jiang Youtao looked around Jiang Min. This fake child had nothing on her. Finally, she set her eyes on the red string hanging around Jiang Min's neck and said, "You said I was stingy, so you must be a generous child. Then let me see the red string hanging around your neck."

　　Jiang Min immediately covered her chest and said, "No."

　　Jiang Youtao smiled at Jiang Min, and then returned the words she had just said to her: "Stingy."

　　Jiang Youtao's operation of defeating magic with magic made the other teachers in the office very happy. One or two of them even secretly gave Jiang Youtao a thumbs up.

　　Jiang Min blinked away the tears she had just held back. She wanted to cry and complain, but no one paid any attention to her.

　　She could only walk back to Zhou Yuying's desk timidly and sit down.

　　Jiang Youtao pretended to read a book, clicked on the twelfth book on the bookshelf, and started reading the story.

　　Jiang Min lost both her parents and was raised by her brother. When she was ten years old, her house collapsed and she moved into the Zhou family next door.

　　The Zhou family's two-story building was bright and spacious, completely different from the Jiang family's house. In the Zhou family, she had her own room, and Jiang Min felt that she was the happiest child.

　　She was especially happy when she found out that her brother Jiang Heng was dating Zhou Yuying, the elder sister of the Zhou family. Because the Zhou family had a small population, as long as her brother married Zhou Yuying, she could live in the Zhou family permanently.

　　But the good times didn't last long. After only half a year, her brother broke up with Zhou Yuying because she and her brother Jiang Yuan were too naughty and almost burned down the Zhou family's house during a fight.

　　Jiang Min felt that Zhou Yuying was simply being unreasonable. Her brother was such a good man, yet Zhou Yuying still broke up with him.

　　Saying that they are bad is just an excuse. Zhou Yuying is so determined to break up, isn't it because she thinks her family is poor?

　　On the eve of moving out of the Zhou family, Jiang Min secretly entered Zhou Yuying's room and took a jade pendant from the secret compartment on her bed.

　　This was passed down from Zhou Yuying's family, and Jiang Min knew that things passed down from ancestors were very valuable. Jiang Min felt that taking this jade pendant was not stealing, but rather a way for Zhou Yuying to compensate her brother for abandoning her.

　　Jiang Min kept the jade pendant hidden, never sold it, and never let anyone see it.

　　Time flies and it is already the 1990s. Jiang Min has stopped studying at this time. She works as a waitress in a restaurant in the capital. Her boyfriend is a kitchen helper in the restaurant. They have little money and their salary is just enough to keep them from starving.

　　Her brother married a very aggressive wife who treated her and her brother very badly. Her brother was also a scoundrel and could not act like the head of the family. She no longer liked to go home.

　　The 1990s was the era when the antique industry was booming. Once when passing by Panjiayuan, Jiang Min suddenly remembered the jade pendant she had taken from the Zhou family, and she quickly took it to find someone to look at it.

　　Someone knew the value of it and heard that it was a family heirloom, so he was willing to buy it for 100,000 yuan.

　　Jiang Min was overjoyed, but she was cautious and did not sell it. However, on her way back, she was robbed. She was holding the jade pendant tightly, and her blood soaked it.

　　When she woke up again, she returned to 1975. Her family had just moved into Zhou's house, and the jade pendant when she killed also came back with her.

　　But this time, there was something in her jade pendant that claimed to be a salted fish system. As long as she put the things unique to this era into this salted fish system, she could sell them. She could use the money from the sales to buy other things in the system.

　　In just half a month since she came back, she had secretly sold some of the Zhou family's small things.

　　In order to get revenge to Zhou Yuying for driving them out of the Zhou family in the previous life, Jiang Min used the money earned from selling things to buy two insects that were said to be from the realm of cultivation. She just needed to put the bigger one in her brother's body and the smaller one in Zhou Yuying's body.

　　Zhou Yuying will never leave her brother, and her brother will listen to her especially.

　　From then on, Jiang Min made a fortune with the salted fish system and reached the peak of her life.

　　It is worth mentioning that her partner, the male protagonist of this book, is a university professor. When Jiang Min met him, he already had a fiancée.

　　But after meeting Jiang Min, he immediately broke off his engagement with his fiancée and pursued Jiang Min. The two became the most enviable couple. Even in their fifties and sixties, they still showed off their love on the Internet. She was pampered by the male protagonist, a university professor, all her life.

　　Jiang Youtao closed the book. It turned out that the lower limit was meant to be refreshed. Small World No. 12 completely refreshed Jiang Youtao's three views.

　　What the hell is this? The heroine Jiang Min has a distorted outlook on life. Not only does she steal, she does it with a sense of righteousness. The first thing she does after her rebirth is to sell other people's things, and then use the money to buy drugs to control them.

　　What a human masterpiece this is!

　　[ Tongzi, if only the Immortal Cultivator was here, she could smash this Small World System No. 12 into pieces. ]

　　The melon-eating system said in a heavy tone: [ The host is right, but I always feel that something is wrong with this world. ]

　　This is a feeling. The Melon Eating System has been active in the melon field for more than a year, and has never had this feeling before. It feels that the matter is serious: [ Host, please deal with it carefully first, I will go and report to the higher-ups. ]

　　The melon-eating system was unusually serious, and it just slipped away after eating.

　　Jiang Youtao didn't rush to read the crash report because the bell rang and Zhou Yuying and Gu Nianwei came back. Zhou Yuying apologized to everyone as usual and then took Jiang Min, who looked very bad, away.

　　Gu Nianwei moved in front of Jiang Youtao and said, "What's going on? I just saw that kid rolling her eyes at you."

　　"She is the sister of Teacher Zhou's boyfriend. She just came to ask me to borrow a pen, but I didn't give it to her." If Jiang Youtao didn't know what Jiang Min wanted to do before, she would know after reading the plot of Small World.

　　The fake child saw that all the valuable things in the Zhou family had been sold by her, so she was looking for things to sell everywhere.

　　Gu Nianwei was a little speechless, and Jiang Youtao said to her, "Put away your previous things." She pointed to Zhou Yuying's messy desk and said, "See? That kid rummaged through all that."

　　Gu Nianwei's brows were tightly furrowed.

　　Teacher Zheng also came back from get out of class. She was drinking water. Hearing this, she put down her cup and said, "Yes, Teacher Jiang is right. Valuable things should be put away. Some time ago, I brought back a wooden pony from my mother's house. She said she liked it and wanted to play with it, but she broke it. Teacher Zhou wanted to compensate me, but I refused."

　　"That thing is not valuable, but I like it. You see, it broke not long after I got it. I feel so sad." The small wooden sculpture of Teacher Zheng was carved for her by her grandfather because her zodiac sign is horse.

　　The old man is already in his sixties or seventies. He took the carving knife this time, but he doesn't know when he will take it again. Carving is laborious, and the younger generations don't allow him to carve anymore.

　　Everyone had something to talk about when talking about this. All the teachers' things in this office had been borrowed by Jiang Min. Some of them were returned intact, and some were damaged by Jiang Min.

　　They were all colleagues, and they saw each other every day. No one asked Zhou Yuying for compensation, so they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

　　"Don't worry." Gu Nianwei didn't have any valuables in the office, but she did have some beloved little things, and she didn't want them to be damaged for no reason.

　　After talking about Zhou family gossip for a while, the bell for the third class rang and Jiang Youtao went out with her textbook.

　　When the class was about to end, Jiang Youtao was stopped by Li Xiaolan.

　　Li Xiaolan asked Jiang Youtao: "Teacher Jiang, my friend Mo Yu is going to school soon."

　　It is not difficult for students to go to school these days. As long as they have money to pay tuition, they can go. If they have good grades, it would be even better.

　　The original Mo Yu never gave up studying, and Li Xiaolan would help her with her studies every week during the holidays. After the immortal master traveled through time, she had the skill of memorizing everything she saw and heard. She could learn everything that Li Xiaolan asked the original Mo Yu to learn just by looking through her memory.

　　She had almost managed to manage the Mo family. This world was so boring that she couldn't even practice cultivation. So, she went to school under Li Xiaolan's persuasion.

　　She has come to school to report to the principal today and will be able to go to school tomorrow.

　　"That's great. At your age, it's the best time to learn." The immortal master had a miserable life in her previous life. As a big shot, there was nothing she couldn't do, but she had to be controlled by the consciousness of small world No. 11 and turned into a housewife.

　　She dedicated her whole life to the male protagonist and his family.

　　She hasn't studied properly for several years. Now that small world No. 11 has collapsed, the immortal master will not be controlled. It would be good if she could experience modern knowledge.

　　Li Xiaolan just wanted to find someone who knew Mo Yu like her to share the joy of her friend coming to school. She smiled shyly at Jiang Youtao, and when a classmate called her to eat, she politely said goodbye to Jiang Youtao and left.

　　Jiang Youtao returned to the office and there was already a pile of student homework on her desk.

　　Jiang Youtao finished grading the papers carefully before going to the cafeteria to eat.

　　From Monday to Saturday, Jiang Youtao and her friends would avoid cooking if possible.

　　Gu Nianwei had prepared dinner for her, and the two of them ate and went back to the dormitory. This time they did not live together, but were neighbors. Her house was sandwiched between Teacher Zhao's house and Gu Nianwei's house.

　　Teacher Zhao has returned and is cooking. Her daughter Liu Jing is being ordered around by her. Her husband Liu Shiyong is not at home, so Mrs. Li doesn't care about anything, but she will protect Liu Jing from time to time.

　　If Jiang Youtao hadn't heard what Old Lady Li said in the afternoon, she would have thought that Old Lady Li loved Liu Jing very much.

　　Jiang Youtao had forgotten about the small loudspeaker that she had left at Liu's house before she had time to pull it out.

　　So when she was lying in bed drowsy, she heard voices coming from Teacher Zhao's house.

　　Her small loudspeaker was placed in the corner of the yard, which meant that Teacher Zhao's family was talking in the yard again.

　　Jiang Youtao: ...

　　What's wrong? Can't you go back to your room and talk about it?

　　"Yaqing, we are both over 40. You have not been able to get pregnant since Xiaojing was born. We have never had a son. My mother wants us to have one in the countryside. I want to hear your opinion."

　　Jiang Youtao walked into the yard. Teacher Zhao was washing clothes for the whole family. Liu Shiyong was squatting beside her smoking, with no intention of lending a hand.

　　Teacher Zhao didn't say anything, so Liu Shiyong continued, "Don't blame my mother. I'm the only son in our family, and she's worried that I don't have a son."

　　"Look at you. If you had been more careful when you were pregnant with Liu Jing, you wouldn't be in this situation now."

　　Liu Shiyong's words were full of accusations.

　　Teacher Zhao threw the clothes in her hand into the basin, stood up and pointed at Liu Shiyong: "Liu Shiyong, you have lost your conscience when you said this. Was it my fault that I was pregnant with Xiaojing? It was your mother who made me suffer in the middle of winter. She insisted on buying tofu in the cold winter, but you were too lazy to go and I couldn't get you to do anything."

　　"Your mother urged me to go, so I went by myself. As a result, I slipped and fell on the road, and Xiaojing gave birth prematurely. Now you blame me? Why don't you blame your mother?"

　　"You and your mother deserve not to have a son / grandson. Don't expect me to raise a son for someone else. If you want to raise your own son, go back to your hometown." Teacher Zhao turned around and walked into the house, not forgetting to shout into the house: "Xiao Jing, come out and wash your clothes."

　　Liu Jing ran out quickly, fearing that she would be beaten and scolded if she was a step late.

　　Teacher Zheng came over eating yellow peaches, and Gu Nianwei also came. Jiang Youtao invited them to sit inside.

　　The room had all the basic facilities such as beds and cabinets. Jiang Youtao cleaned them all. She brought a stool for the two of them and poured a glass of water.

　　Teacher Zheng asked them quietly, "Did you hear what happened between Teacher Zhao and her husband just now?"

　　Teacher Zhao didn't make a sound, but Gu Nianwei, who was across the room from Jiang Youtao's house, could hear it.

　　Gu Nianwei nodded, and Teacher Zheng said, "Look at how tough Teacher Zhao is right now. Who knows how happy she will be when her husband brings his son back home."

　　Teacher Zheng is simply the gossiper in the school. She knows the family situations of the teachers better than anyone else.

　　She is a bit obsessed with looks and likes people who are good-looking. Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei are both good-looking, and she likes them very much and is happy to tell them everything.

　　What she is talking about now is Teacher Xu who teaches Class 2 of Grade 8. His family is quite exciting. His wife is having an affair outside, and the news has spread throughout the family compound.

　　"His wife goes out every now and then, saying she's going back to her parents' home, but in fact she's staying with her mistress. Someone saw her in Xiaonancha Village, which is below our county town." Teacher Zheng winked.

　　"Everyone said that Mr. Xu was not good enough, so he didn't dare to say a word when he knew his wife is cheating on him."

　　Jiang Youtao knew Teacher Xu. He was the head teacher of Class 2. He didn't talk much and was very honest. He had a son who was in elementary school.

　　Gu Nianwei said, "That's impossible. I saw him and his wife at the state-owned store last time. They were buying cloth and said he wanted to make clothes for his wife."

　　"Yes, we didn't believe it at first, but later we saw it with our own eyes. After Teacher Xu leave home, his wife took someone home and they didn't go out for a whole day and night!"

　　Jiang Youtao and Gu Nianwei were stunned by what Teacher Zheng said.

　　These days the ethics between men and women are strictly enforced, but the stricter the situation is, the more backlash there will be, just like now, everyone appears to be a serious person on the surface, but behind the scenes there are many cases of them having affairs with others.

　　Moreover, if the people do not report this, the officials generally will not investigate it.

　　But people who have affairs with adulterers know to hide it a little bit, and it is very rare to bring a man home directly like now.

　　After Teacher Zheng said this, Teacher Xu's image in their eyes collapsed.

　　Teacher Zheng ate the melon seeds prepared by Jiang Youtao and cracked them until she was satisfied before going back.

　　Jiang Youtao discussed with Gu Nianwei their feelings after listening to the speech and then went back.

　　Jiang Youtao tried to contact the melon-eating system, but the system did not respond.

　　She was bored of waiting, so she clicked on the collapse report of small world No. 12 to take a look.

　　Jiang Min used two worms to bind Zhou Yuying and her brother for their entire lives, and Zhou Yuying also dedicated her life to them. In the end, when she was old, she got cancer, and they didn't even go to see her when she died.

　　Jiang Min felt particularly relieved.

　　Her university professor husband did not live longer than her. University professor Lu Qingchen's health was also very poor. When he was dying, Jiang Min suddenly felt that there was something she wanted to tell him.

　　So she proudly told Lu Qingchen about how she had put bugs in Zhou Yuying, and also told him about how she had put bugs in herself and him.

　　At that time, Jiang Min was particularly sad: "You don't have to look at me like that. You and your fiancée are not destined to be together. You didn't get married in the end. She has another man outside."

　　"In your previous life, your wife was Zhou Yuying, did you know that? You two lived a very happy life. She gave birth to two children for you, each more successful than the other. And you became a university professor, then a dean, and then a president. You were simply a winner in the education world."

　　"You guys live a glamorous life, but I'm washing dishes in a restaurant, living with a good-for-nothing man. We live very hard, and we have to spend every penny carefully."

　　"I see that you are so good to me in this life, yet Zhou Yuying wants to kneel on the ground and lick my brother's shoes, so I am very happy."

　　Jiang Min was strangled to death by Lu Qingchen, who was about to die.

　　After Jiang Min was strangled to death, the small world collapsed.

　　At this time, the melon-eating system also came back: [ Host, host, I have checked it out. This is a derivative world. In the original small world, Zhou Yuying and Lu Qingchen are the male and female protagonists! ]
