Chapter 297 The Unlucky Aura Takes Effect, Leading to a Step-by-Step Collapse
"Thump!"
A dull, viscous sound.
The whole world seemed to fall silent for a second.
Then came a deafening roar of laughter!
"Hahaha! My goodness! Sun Yumei fell into the slop bucket!"
"What do you call this? Evil begets evil! Even God couldn't stand by and watch!"
"Look, look! There's a rotten cabbage leaf hanging from her head!"
Amidst the uproarious laughter of the entire village, Sun Yumei struggled to climb out of the swill bucket that reeked of sour and rotten stench.
She looked even more pitiful than a beggar at the village entrance.
Her hair was covered in greasy soup, her face was covered in leftover rice grains and rotten vegetable leaves, and the floral shirt she had specially worn to make a good impression was now dripping with an unidentified yellow and green liquid.
An indescribable stench spread rapidly from her to the surrounding area.
The villagers in the front row were forced to back away by the fumes, covering their noses, but they couldn't help but smile.
"ah--!"
Sun Yumei finally came to her senses. Looking at her filth and smelling the stench that could kill a person, she let out a scream that could pierce eardrums!
She's completely gone mad!
Forget about throwing a tantrum; she covered her face, screamed, and rushed into her own yard.
All she wanted to do was go home and take a shower to wash away the shame and stench!
However, the power of the [Basic Unlucky Aura] has only just begun to be revealed.
"Woof! Woof woof woof!"
As soon as Sun Yumei stepped into her yard, her big yellow dog, which she had raised for three years and which would wag its tail whenever it saw her, suddenly went berserk. Its eyes turned red, and it pounced on her, biting her with its mouth open!
"Ah! You damned dog! Have you gone mad?! You even bite me!"
Sun Yumei was so frightened that she turned and ran away.
Thus, a scene full of dark humor unfolded in Jiangjia Village at dusk.
A woman covered in rotten vegetable leaves and emitting a foul stench was tumbling and crawling as she ran for her life ahead.
A large, tan-colored wolfhound was baring its teeth and relentlessly chasing after them.
Sun Yumei ran around her yard three times before slipping and falling flat on her face.
The big yellow dog grabbed her trouser leg and ripped it open!
"Sizzle—"
Her supposedly fashionable flared pants had a large piece torn off, revealing her red and green thermal underwear underneath.
Those feisty wives who had originally stayed with Sun Yumei as holdouts were now standing not far away, watching this unfortunate scene. They were all so frightened that their faces turned pale and their legs trembled.
"My goodness... this is too eerie!" a plump woman whispered, trembling.
"He just went against Chenzi, and now he's fallen into a cesspool and been bitten by a dog... Could it be that Chenzi has a deity protecting him?"
"I think it's highly likely! We can't keep following Sun Yumei's foolish actions! Otherwise, we might be the next ones to fall into the latrine!"
The women exchanged glances, and each saw deep fear in the other's eyes.
They made up their minds to never associate with Sun Yumei again.
For Sun Yumei, this was merely an appetizer.
For the next three whole days, she truly understood what it meant to be "like being called by the King of Hell, with traps everywhere."
On the first day, she cooked at home.
I had just heated the oil and was about to add the vegetables when, as if someone had given it a push, the entire jar of salt hanging on the wall popped open with a "bang," and the whole jar of salt, not a single grain left, was precisely poured into the pot.
With a sizzling sound, a choking white smoke rose from the pot.
Sun Yumei was so angry when she saw that pot of oil that could be used directly to pickle vegetables that she almost died on the spot.
Okay, fine, I won't eat the vegetables, but I'll have plain white rice, okay?
As a result, after taking the second bite, there was a crisp "crunch" sound, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.
When she spat it out, she found a hard stone the size of a fingernail hidden in the rice. Half of her already loose front tooth was knocked out!
"Waaaah..." Sun Yumei covered her mouth, in so much pain she couldn't breathe.
The next day, she didn't dare cook at home and decided to go to the village store to buy a pack of instant noodles.
It's less than 100 meters from my doorstep to the convenience store.
She fell flat on her face three times in a row.
The first time was when I stepped on a piece of watermelon rind.
The second time, I slipped on a banana peel that someone had thrown away.
The third time was the most outrageous. On a perfectly flat cement road, she was walking along when she tripped over her own feet and fell over!
When she limped to the convenience store, her face bruised and swollen, the proprietress looked at her as if she were crazy and told her that the instant noodles were the last pack and had just been sold out.
Sun Yumei's mental state is on the verge of collapse.
The most fatal blow came on the third night.
Exhausted from the ordeal, Sun Yumei blew out the lamp, preparing to go to bed early.
She had just lain down on the bed when she turned over...
"Snap!"
A loud crack as wood snapped!
Her solid wood bed, which she had slept in for more than ten years, suddenly broke cleanly in two from the middle without any warning!
"Oh! My back!"
Sun Yumei sank in completely, letting out a piercing scream, almost breaking her back on the spot.
At this moment, Sun Yumei's mental defenses were completely shattered!
This is weird! This is fucking weird!
This was not an accident at all!
This is clearly retribution! It was that little bastard Jiang Chen who was pulling the strings behind the scenes!
Meanwhile, the women from other villages were already terrified.
Carrying Sun Yumei on their backs, they sneaked off to the village committee under the cover of night and found Jiang Shunde, the village chief who was still at get off work.
"Village chief, we'll sign! We'll sign!"
"Just...just the normal price in the village! We won't dare to have any other ideas!"
They trembled as they pressed their fingerprints on the contract, took the money, and ran home in a flash, hiding the money under their bed, never daring to utter another word about a price increase.
Overnight, Sun Yumei became a commander without any troops.
The next morning, when she opened her gate with huge dark circles under her eyes, she was utterly desperate.
From the direction of the village entrance, more than a dozen huge excavators and bulldozers were already lined up and driving over.
"Rumble—rumble—"
The roar of the machines was deafening.
The excavators bypassed her land and dug three huge pits in the east, south, and west directions of her plot.
The village construction team leader was holding a megaphone and shouting instructions.
"Listen up, everyone! This is our village's future eco-friendly public restroom! President Jiang said it must be built with the best materials, and it must be big and spacious! We guarantee everyone will be comfortable using it!"
"Also, from now on, please don't dump your household waste indiscriminately. For now, please pile it up next to these big pits. We'll dispose of it properly once our waste treatment station is built!"
The yellow soil dredged up by the excavator was blown by the strong wind and all drifted towards Sun Yumei's house.
In addition, various kinds of household garbage "accidentally" dumped by the surrounding villagers began to ferment under the scorching sun, emitting a pungent stench.
Sun Yumei stood in the courtyard, smelling the "harvest" smell mixed with dust and sour stench, and felt her stomach churning.
With a "whoosh," he vomited up the half-bowl of porridge he had drunk the night before.
She didn't dare open even a crack in her window.
But the sound and the smell still managed to seep into the room.
"It's over...it's all over..."
Sun Yumei slumped to the ground, utterly dejected, her eyes vacant.
Her cash cow has been completely transformed into an isolated island surrounded by garbage and cesspools.
Under this dual torment of mental and physical suffering, Sun Yumei finally broke down completely.
She pulled out the land certificate from the drawer, which she had crumpled up beyond recognition, and like grasping at the last straw, she scrambled and crawled toward Jiang Chen's house.
