Free Web NovelChapter 491: Chapter 487: Digging a Hole for Oneself
Xu Chongfeng was getting a little anxious.
"Mom, should I go to the gate and see if Yun Hao is here yet?"
’That guy better not back out at the last minute!’
If Yun Hao didn’t marry his drama-queen of a sister, Xu Chongfeng felt he would have a complete breakdown before the family even fell apart.
Chen Xiumin couldn’t sit still either, but as the matriarch, she had to keep her composure. "What’s the rush? The guests haven’t arrived yet! Since you’ve got nothing better to do, go to the gate and greet people."
According to the customs of the Qingshan Team, the groom would pick up the bride around ten in the morning. As they were speaking, it was just past eight.
Friends and relatives usually arrived at nine, but the family already couldn’t wait.
Ever since their sister Xu Wenwan had returned, she had been nothing but trouble—lazy and greedy. They wished time would fly by so they could finally send her on her way.
Village Chief Xu took a drag from his long-stemmed pipe and looked at Xu Chongshan. "Go with your big brother. Greet the relatives when you see them."
He, too, was desperate to marry his daughter off as soon as possible.
Xu Wenwan was about to die from anger.
This was her family—absolutely detestable.
She was furious.
"System, I want to use my points to rewrite the Xu Family’s destiny. I want them to have bad luck and become the laughingstock of the whole village."
The system checked its points balance.
Previously, Xu Wenwan had worked with Mr. Jiu to sell face soap. In addition to earning money, she had completed a side quest and successfully started her career path, earning her over one hundred points.
The Xu Family’s roles in the story weren’t major, but as relatives of the female protagonist, changing their fate cost fifteen points per person.
Since it only charged for the adults, her one hundred-plus points were sufficient.
The system spoke up. "Host, you have enough points. Do you wish to activate your cheat ability?"
Xu Wenwan didn’t hesitate. "Activate."
The moment she spoke, a book appeared before her. It opened, emitting a flash of white light. When the light faded, the book lay before Xu Wenwan with a pen placed beside it.
Already accustomed to such scenes, Xu Wenwan picked up the pen without a second thought and wrote a single line: *On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the entire Xu Family will be struck by misfortune and become the laughingstock of the Qingshan Team.*
The pen fell, the writing was done. With another flash of white light, the plot in the book began to change.
In that instant, the gears of fate shifted.
As Xu Wenwan pictured her family’s impending misfortune, she wanted to put her hands on her hips and cackle with glee at the front door.
The system stared at the altered plot, speechless for a long time.
’Did I just bind myself to an idiot?’
’I did, didn’t I!’
If it were a person, it would have needed to take a few deep breaths to suppress its rage.
After a moment of restraint, the system couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Are you an idiot? Why didn’t you write their names individually? Did you forget that you’re a member of the Xu Family too?"
This was the first time it had ever seen a host spend points to curse themselves with bad luck.
And Xu Wenwan was the protagonist, a much more significant role. After the initial deduction, she should have had dozens of points left over. But now? They were all gone.
Xu Wenwan was speechless.
"No, wait. I’m its master. How could it work against me?"
The system didn’t want to say anything, but Xu Wenwan kept pestering it. Finally, it replied in a flat, deadpan tone, as if it had lost the will to live.
"You are a character in the book. The plot has been altered, so your fate has been altered along with it."
"As a member of the Xu Family, you wrote that the Xu Family would have bad luck. Therefore, you are included in that."
It was the first time Xu Wenwan had ever encountered such a useless system—one that screwed over its own master.
But she didn’t have time to complain right now.
"Then undo it, quickly! Let me rewrite it."
