The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 564 Illiterate
After hearing what her brother said, Ni'er's anger subsided a little. She felt that what her brother said made some sense.
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone was scrambling to squeeze to the middle, fearing that they would be left behind in the group.
Soon, people consciously lined up in a long row, like a long winding dragon.
With nervous anticipation, everyone put their arms into a big box one by one.
After getting the bamboo slips, people walked aside and handed them to the person in charge of recording.
It was the old lady's turn. She nervously reached out her hand and fumbled for the bamboo strips in the box.
After pulling his arm out, he found that he couldn't understand the words on it at all.
"What on earth is written on this?" The old lady frowned and looked at the bamboo slip from top to bottom, but she was still confused.
Just then, it was Ni'er and Niu Li's turn.
The old lady stared at them intently. She thought that the man would stop Nier and prevent her from drawing lots.
However, to the old lady's surprise, the man did not stop her at all and allowed Nier to put her hand into the box.
Seeing this, the old lady couldn't help but snort, "It's just a little bit of medical skills, what's so great about it, it's just drawing lots, you really think you are a piece of cake!"
Nier held the bamboo strip tightly, her fingers trembling slightly as she moved it down little by little. With every movement, her heartbeat would speed up.
Niu Li stretched his neck, widened his eyes, and stared at Ni'er's hand.
Finally, Nier's fingers stopped. She took a deep breath, then suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Niu Li. They both jumped up almost at the same time.
"Three! Haha~" Nier shouted excitedly, her voice full of joy.
"Wow~ That's great~ That's great~" Niu Li also cheered, his face filled with a bright smile.
However, the old lady standing next to her twitched her mouth a few times and her nostrils were almost turned up to the sky.
She muttered to herself, "What's so great about being able to read? What's so great about being ranked third? Maybe I'll be ahead of them!"
The old lady bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying hard to suppress her inner dissatisfaction and anxiety.
She quickly handed the bamboo slip in her hand to the person in charge of recording, and asked anxiously, "Young man, can you help me see which rank this is?"
The man took the bamboo slip, took a look at it and replied, "Old lady, it says two hundred and fifty-four."
Hearing this number, the old lady's face instantly turned gloomy.
You have to know that there were only more than 300 households in the entire village, and due to the ravages of the epidemic, many people unfortunately died, and some families even lost all their lives.
Today, there are only 300 households left in the village at most. How come it is ranked so far back?
The old lady became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. In the future, everyone else would build big, bright and spacious houses, while she would only be able to watch helplessly.
Enduring the torture of wind and rain, this kind of life is simply unbearable.
She gnashed her teeth in anger and muttered to herself, usually my luck is pretty good, why am I so unlucky today?
Suddenly, the old lady seemed to remember something, and her gaze fell on Nier not far away, her eyes full of resentment and anger.
It must be because of that bastard I ran into just now that my luck has been ruined!
The old lady glared at Nier fiercely.
However, Nier didn't notice what was happening here, she was chatting and laughing with the people around her and didn't notice the old lady's glare at all.
However, Niu Li who was standing by noticed the change in grandma's expression. He quickly pulled his sister's sleeve, then raised his chin and motioned his sister to look at grandma.
Nier followed her brother's gaze and found that her grandmother was staring at her with an angry face.
The old lady was standing in the distance, her mouth opening and closing rapidly, with anger on her face, as if she was saying something to this side.
But due to the great distance and the noisy surroundings, the few words were like smoke blown away by the wind and could not be heard at all.
After the old lady finished scolding, she turned around and said to the person who was taking notes in dissatisfaction: "Are you taking advantage of my illiteracy and writing nonsense?"
The person recording the data waved his hands and explained, "How could I lie to you? The number is exactly what it should be. I would never write it down randomly."
The old lady was skeptical and asked, "Am I really 254?"
The man handed the bamboo slip back to the old lady and said sincerely, "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can take this bamboo slip and ask other people. I have absolutely no reason to lie to you."
The old lady hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the bamboo strip, lowered her head, squinted her eyes and looked at it carefully. This was indeed the bamboo strip she had just given to that person.
However, the old lady began to ponder in her heart.
You know, in this place, almost no one can read except those in government offices.
And the only one who could recognize words was that bastard who disgusted her!
The old lady was in a state of extreme conflict. She didn't know whether she should go find that bastard to confirm.
Ni'er also wanted to register, and since the old lady was standing nearby, the two of them were bound to meet.
The old lady's face was solemn and a little angry, and it was obvious that the lot she drew was not a good one.
Ni'er thought: I might as well go over and see what place grandma is in.
So, without hesitation, he took his brother's hand and walked straight to the registration place.
When they walked up to the person who was recording, Nier said, "Please help me register."
At the same time, he handed the bamboo slip in his hand to the person who was recording.
The person who took the bamboo slip took a closer look and blurted out, "Congratulations! Congratulations! You're third! Your lot is so high! You're really lucky."
Upon hearing this, Ni'er smiled delightedly and quickly thanked him.
When the old lady heard that the bastard was ranked third, she was so angry that she shook all over and almost fainted.
The eldest daughter-in-law at the side was quick to reach out and hold the old lady's back, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.
After a long while, the old lady finally came to her senses, breathing heavily, and her complexion recovered a little.
When her eyes became a little clearer, she suddenly saw Ni'er and Niu Li preparing to turn around and leave.
When the old lady saw this, her anger suddenly rose again, and she subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab Ni'er by the collar and pull her over.
However, just as her hand was about to touch Nier, the old lady suddenly remembered that her luck was very bad because she had grabbed her just now.
Wouldn't it make my luck worse if I touched her again?
