Chapter 154: Find Someone to Make Them Suffer Horribly

After Chen Ju and Huang Yaxin crawled out of the cesspit, they immediately bolted to find a water source to wash themselves.

Once they had gone, Lin Xiaodou turned to Zhu Damei. "Sister Damei, we did this together. When the money comes in, I'll give you half."

Zhu Damei gritted her teeth. "I don't want the money... I just want to avenge my sister! I don't want to let Huang Yaxin off that easily!"

Lin Xiaodou patted her shoulder soothingly. "Don't worry, I've already thought of a plan."

Zhu Damei asked, "Xiaodou, what kind of plan?"

Lin Xiaodou pulled out the IOU she had taken earlier, which also contained a separate piece of paper. "Take a look." She handed it to Zhu Damei.

Zhu Damei took it curiously, but her eyes widened as soon as she glanced at it. At the very top were three large characters: "Confession." The middle was blank, and at the very bottom was a clear, thumb-printed signature from Huang Yaxin.

Zhu Damei was puzzled. "Xiaodou... what does this mean?"

Lin Xiaodou smiled faintly. "Huang Yaxin admitted to a few things today, didn't she? I'll fill in the details in the middle when I get back, and then send this paper along with an anonymous tip-off letter to the County Art Troupe."

Zhu Damei’s eyes lit up as she continued, "If the leaders of the County Art Troupe see this, they’ll definitely fire her! Losing the dance position she fought so hard to get will probably break her. That would be wonderful!"

As she said this, Zhu Damei suddenly thought of something and looked dejected. "But Huang Yaxin’s family is quite well-off. She can still live comfortably even without the job, while my sister is already gone..."

Lin Xiaodou replied, "Girls generally value their appearance, especially someone as vain as Huang Yaxin. Tell me, what would happen if she were walking down a dark road one day and accidentally tripped, leaving herself disfigured?"

Judging by how Huang Yaxin had treated the original owner, she was not a good person. Since they were already at odds, if Lin Xiaodou didn't resolve this, it would cause endless trouble later. She would never leave such a hidden danger behind. To deal with an enemy, one must strike at what they care about most.

Someone like Huang Yaxin, who was so obsessed with her looks, would surely find disfigurement more agonizing than death. There is no sharper way to punish a person than to destroy their pride. This kind of revenge would also serve as a comfort to the original owner's soul.

Hearing this, Zhu Damei felt invigorated. "Xiaodou, let me do it. I don't want you to get involved and risk being discovered!"

Lin Xiaodou shook her head. "Your temper is too impulsive; it’s better if you don't participate. I’ll arrange for someone else to do it. You just sit back and enjoy the show."

The "someone else" was simply Lin Xiaodou herself, using a high-quality silicone mask. She had hundreds of them in her storage space. Every time she used one, she chose a different style, and she had yet to make a mistake.

"Xiaodou, you’re so kind, boo-hoo..." Zhu Damei’s eyes reddened; she wanted to give Lin Xiaodou a bear hug right then and there.

Lin Xiaodou laughed. "We’re friends, aren't we? You’re good to me, so naturally, I’ll be good to you."

Ever since Zhu Damei had "awakened" after a dream, she had been constantly trying to curry favor with her. She was like a little shadow, following every instruction Lin Xiaodou gave. When Chen Ju, Xiao Jingyao’s mother, had blocked their way and shouted at them previously, Zhu Damei had stood by her without hesitation and berated Chen Ju. From that day on, Lin Xiaodou had truly considered Zhu Damei a friend.

A friend in need is a friend indeed. That was Lin Xiaodou’s standard for how to behave.

Hearing this, Zhu Damei was moved to tears. "Xiaodou, from now on, you’re my little sister! If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll never let them off!"

Zhu Damei was a tall, one-meter-eighty woman, while Lin Xiaodou was only one-meter-seventy. As she cried and clung to Lin Xiaodou’s arm, she looked like a giant human accessory, incredibly clingy. Lin Xiaodou had to persuade her for a long time before she finally calmed down.

After Zhu Damei left, Lin Xiaodou wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. She was truly too noisy—on par with that girl, Yan'er. If those two ever hugged her arms from left and right and wailed at the same time, the scene would be unimaginable.

"That shouldn't happen; those two will never meet," Lin Xiaodou comforted herself. But later... she was proven wrong.

...

After Huang Yaxin and Chen Ju crawled out of the cesspit, they searched the area for a long time but could not find a river. With no other choice, they had to return to the guesthouse, covered in the stench of filth and drawing strange looks from everyone.

As soon as they entered, the receptionist on duty nearly vomited from the smell. She immediately barked at them, blocking their path. After some negotiation, the receptionist called her colleague, and the two of them hauled several buckets of water. They made Huang Yaxin and Chen Ju stand at the street corner and doused them thoroughly.

Passersby saw this scene, and upon hearing that the two had fallen into a cesspit, they cast looks of surprise and mockery. Being humiliated in public was excruciating for Huang Yaxin and Chen Ju. They gritted their teeth and held back tears, barely enduring it until the end.

Although bucket after bucket of water washed away the surface stains, an indescribable odor still lingered on them. Finally, the receptionist took pity on them and let them inside, telling them to go to the showers and scrub themselves clean.

It took the two of them two full hours, scrubbing until they felt as if they had peeled off a layer of skin, to finally get rid of the stench.

In their room, Huang Yaxin and Chen Ju sat face-to-face, both looking grim.

"Auntie, we suffered such a huge loss today; I really cannot swallow this anger!" Huang Yaxin, her face swollen like a pig’s head, began to stir the pot again.

Chen Ju touched the gap in her front teeth, her eyes filled with endless malice and rage. "I can't swallow it either. Those two sluts, Lin Xiaodou and Zhu Damei, actually treated me like this! I must find someone to torture them severely!"
