Chapter 658: Bad Luck Overhead
"Brother, I don't know what's going on either. That woman is extremely eccentric. After so many rounds, she pointed to whichever card and it was that card. Clearly, I remember that card wasn't the one I placed, but when it was flipped, it turned into a big ace.
It's wicked."
Monkey was dejected.
This is 3000 yuan. Although his monthly salary is quite high, he can earn over two hundred yuan a month.
The problem is, at this rate, it'll take him two years to pay off this debt. How did he get so unlucky today?
Jin Dachuan brought Monkey to Song Moting's car.
"Get in the car!"
Monkey glanced at Song Moting and Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding Tang Yuan in the passenger seat, while the back seat was empty.
Although Monkey didn't know them, he still got into the backseat with Jin Dachuan, closed the car door, and Song Moting drove to a secluded lakeside.
Monkey was somewhat cautious.
Why does the atmosphere feel a bit off?
But looking at his brother Jin Dachuan, he seemed relaxed and had a slight smile on his lips, clearly not worried about the matter and seemed quite trusting of the couple in the car.
"Sister-in-law, do you see anything?"
Jin Dachuan felt strange too; he knew Monkey well. Without skills, would he dare to send Monkey out?
Jiang Xiaoxiao handed Jin Dachuan a pill.
Jin Dachuan tossed it to Monkey.
Monkey felt confused as he held the pill in his hand.
"Brother, what does this mean? It's bad luck, not an illness. Do you think I'm crazy?"
Feeling insulted, he found it offensive to his personality.
"Who thinks you're crazy? I watched the whole thing quietly earlier, from start to finish. The problem definitely isn't you; I know your skills well. How can anyone be quicker than you?
Even I couldn't beat you a few times before. The only possibility is that girl's either extremely lucky or her skills are even better than yours."
Monkey was finally satisfied.
"Then why give me a pill?"
"Just eat it and stop talking so much."
Jin Dachuan glared at him fiercely.
Monkey muttered in frustration, "I should just go to a temple, pray, and burn incense to ward off my bad luck."
Refusing to eat.
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Monkey.
"Why don't you get out and sit by the lake until you figure it out? Oh, hand the pill back to your brother first."
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't force him.
Monkey bitterly tossed the pill to Jin Dachuan.
He pushed open the door and got out of the car, stepping on the ground, only to hear a squishing sound.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked over.
A pile of dog crap at Monkey's feet.
He stepped right into a pile of dog crap.
Monkey was outraged.
"Damn it, isn't this just bullying?"
"Even the dog crap bullies me."
He walked while fiercely scraping his shoe against the ground to remove the mess.
Not watching the road ahead, he crashed into a tree branch by the roadside and fell straight into the lake.
Ten minutes later, Monkey was dragged out of the lake, looking pathetic with Jin Dachuan's help.
It's not that Monkey couldn't swim; rather, after falling into the lake, he suddenly had a foot cramp.
Monkey was terrified even now, feeling as if he was about to die there.
If it weren't for Jin Dachuan jumping in just in time, Monkey might not be here now.
Shivering and sneezing, Monkey was utterly miserable.
How unlucky can one get!
"Brother, what's going on? How did I get so unlucky? You'd better stay away from me. Don't let me drag you down too."
Lately, Monkey started to walk cautiously, nervously glancing around, fearing he'd step either on dog crap or stumble over a rock.
Is there anyone unluckier than me?
Jin Dachuan's face was filled with undisguisable amazement. He didn't expect Monkey to end up like this.
Nothing happened when he sent Monkey out this morning, but now within such a short time, Monkey got unlucky to this degree?
This isn't just bad luck; it's like misfortune is hanging over him.
Jiang Xiaoxiao glanced at Song Moting, who also looked surprised.
Then they both looked at Tang Yuan.
Tang Yuan covered his mouth, giggling.
"Brother Jin, have him take the pill first."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was equally puzzled.
What method did Fang Xiaohui use to deal with Monkey this way?
Jin Dachuan forcefully shoved the pill into Monkey's mouth.
Monkey hadn't been prepared, yet the pill was already in his mouth, with no distinct medicinal taste.
Instead, there was a sweet fragrance, refreshed his mouth, and it immediately turned into a liquid that slipped down his throat.
Monkey swallowed.
"Mom, the black cloud above uncle's head is gone."
Tang Yuan whispered.
Jiang Xiaoxiao felt reassured hearing that. She feared if Fang Xiaohui's ability would indeed make people so unlucky, and it couldn't be resolved, her whole family would suffer. Fang Xiaohui hates her the most.
Most hateful of Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Even more hateful towards her own son, and more towards her husband.
All who snatched away all her love; maybe she even hates the Jiang family.
If Fang Xiaohui could throw this ability on everyone, the whole family could end up in chaos.
With dire consequences of either death or injury.
Seeing Monkey's unlucky condition indicates someone experiencing bad luck will find even the simplest things against them.
Thankfully, Jiang Xiaoxiao's pill could resolve the issue. No wonder after Feng Chun took her pill last time, the doctors said the tumor wasn't as big as the image suggested.
Instead, it was exactly as they estimated.
It seems her last pill incidentally relieved Feng Chun's misfortune.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was curious about when Fang Xiaohui acquired this ability.
If she had it long ago, then over these years, Fang Xiaohui could have dealt with her directly.
Initially, despite being vigilant against Fang Xiaohui, Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn't imagined she'd possess such a power, silently working against her.
Who knows how many years of bad luck she could have suffered?
What could have happened if she had ended up at the youth farm by now?
If her ability had just emerged, it seemed unlikely.
Because Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled the strange changes in the old lady, which might be related to Fang Xiaohui as well. The old lady suddenly became clear-headed. She asked Song Moting, who remembered the grandmother drank a sip of peach juice, and suddenly seemed off.
It appears that Fang Xiaohui indeed employed her methods on the family.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help thinking of Qin Dazhuang, originally a simple and honest man, who after his second sister passed, was different from the man now.
In this life, he turned into a domestic abuser and gambler.
Though it's unclear how her brother-in-law recovered, from Tang Yuan's description, the dark cloud above him dissipated.
Regardless of how it was resolved.
It seems Qin Dazhuang's drastic personality change must be attributed to Fang Xiaohui.
