After Rebirth, The Fat Wife Returns

Chapter 14 - Wicked

She knew how to lose weight, but she had no way to make her skin fair. It was something impossible which she had been worried about, but now it seemed that she need not worry anymore.

The jade pendant is indeed awesome!

Norma picked up the jade pendant and kissed it hard. She suddenly thought of the owner of the jade pendant and the intimate contact between the two of them that night. Her face instantly blushed red.

“Little, Little!” Suddenly, a panicky female voice came from outside the house. The voice was very shrill and it sounded as if something very important had happened. “Little, leave quickly! My whole family is here!”

As soon as the words ended, the door was pushed open from outside and a skinny little girl rushed in.

The little girl was wearing tattered clothes with floral prints. She was about 16 or 17 years old and had two long braids. She looked at Norma in panic.

She looked alright, but she was way too thin. At the age of 16 or 17 years old, her chest was still flat and there was nothing to be seen.

Norma’s eyelids twitched as she recognized her.

“Lina, you’re here.”

Lina Lake was Jacob Lake’s only daughter and she was only 17 years old this year. Her two older sisters had been sent away, leaving her the only daughter left. However, she had not been raised with care.

She always had to do all types of washing and scrubbing around the house and she was not valued at home. She was a year or two younger than Norma, so she was always tagging along with the original owner of the body.

She was good with her words and she knew how to please the original owner of the body. She always had “Little” on her lips and the original owner of the body would always bring her some food from home. After a while, the two of them became very close.

“Heh!” Norma sneered. “Get out now. Don’t you know how to knock before entering? Who taught you to be so rude?”

Norma quickly covered the jade pendant with her hand and carefully hid it under her clothes.

She could not let this cheat-code be seen by her. The concern of a thief was more dreadful than action. In her past life, the fact that Lina was willing to spend money to buy the jade pendant showed how much she cared about it.

After all, those few dollars were from Lina’s secret savings.

However, this action still managed to attract Lina’s attention. Although she did not see the jade pendant, she saw the red string around Norma’s neck.

What was that?

Lina stared at her, still standing in the same spot, as if she did not understand what Norma meant.

“Norma, hurry up and run. My brothers and a few nephews are all here with weapons!” Lina said nervously.

“Why should Little run away when they are the ones coming to my house?” Grandpa Lake suddenly asked from outside.

Lina seemed frightened by the voice. She lowered her head and stood there, not knowing what to say, as she grabbed the corner of her clothes with her fingers.

However, the moment she lowered her head, Norma saw her eyes lit up and her lips curled upwards.

Grandpa Lake stood outside the door, angrily tapping his walking stick.

Norma suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a scene in her past life.

In her past life, a few months before her grandfather died, Lina would come from time to time to preempt her to leave the house quickly.

Jacob Lake’s sons also came over often to cause trouble.

All this, coupled with the gossip in the village, made Grandpa Lake very worried and caused his health to deteriorate. If not for the fact that Norma was pregnant at that time and he wanted to wait for her to give birth, he would have died earlier from all that anger.

So this was their plan. How wicked!

“Tell me, why should I run? This is my house. Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you going to stand here like a mute?” Norma reached across and slapped her.

She had already reduced her strength, but Lina was still knocked over by the slap.

She hunched on the ground and started crying.

Grandpa Lake witnessed this scene wordlessly. Norma had had this temper since she was young. She was always fighting with people her own age. She hit Lina even more often and there was no one who could stop her.

Besides, Lina did not have much of an opinion, so no one came to help her.

At this moment, a few sets of footsteps could be heard outside the courtyard, making their way over vigorously.

Norma walked out of the door and went forward without a word.

“Second, Grandpa Lake, uncles and brothers, you are here to see my grandfather, right?” Norma stood in the courtyard with a smile and spoke before they could.

Jacob Lake and his family were stunned on the spot. For a moment, they were a bit confused. It seemed to be the first time they ever saw Norma’s big smile.

As the saying goes, one does not slap a smiley face. Hearing Norma’s sweet voice coupled with her big smile, she actually looked quite friendly.
