Reversing the Cards on Villain Chapter 4

"She can be forgiven, but Derek cannot. Since they were not having an affair, Derek wanted to tarnish her innocence after failing to blackmail her. He must be punished no matter what," said the clan leader.

"That's right." Several elders nearby echoed. "This Derek must be severely punished."

A quarter of an hour later, Mary woke up at the right time.

She sat up and looked at the dilapidated room.

This is Mary's room.

Most of the money left to the original owner by her cheap husband was coaxed away by Jian's family, and the rest was spent on Jian's eating and drinking.

Mary touched her neck.

Or should she leave the Huo family now? However, she was unfamiliar with the place, so where could she go?

The Huo family only has one child. If she stays here, it will be easier for her to survive. Even if she wants to leave, it is not now, but after she has established a firm foothold and understands this place.

What's more, since she used Jian's body, she had to clean up the mess for her. Apart from anything else, the child named  Eli Huo was innocent.

So, let’s wait a little longer!

Mary walked out the door and saw Eli feeding chickens in the yard.

He held an earthworm in his hand, and the chicks were snatching food from his mouth. His face was full of an innocent smile.

She looked around and saw the yard next door, which was where Mason lived.

"Hua'er." Mary walked over. "Are you feeding the chickens?"

Eli shuddered when he heard Mary's voice.

This is already an instinctive reaction.

Mary squatted down like him and looked at the happy chicks in front of her: "Hua'er likes chicks very much! You have to feed them well! When the chicks grow up, they can lay eggs for Hua'er to eat!"

Eli looked at Mary fearfully: "I will feed the chickens obediently, mother. Don't be angry!"

Mary touched Eli's hair: "I'm not angry. Hua'er is great."

Even if I would be suspected, I didn't want to follow Jane's example and hurt a child.

The original owner hated Eli so much because of his father. She lost her husband on the wedding day, and she had to take care of a burden. How many women could bear this grievance?

But the original owner was still extremely wrong.

She was angry, and at worst she could just go back to her parents' home. She was greedy for the Huo family's money, but didn't want to take care of the Huo family's children. How could such a good thing happen?

"Are you hungry?" asked Mary.

Seeing that she didn't lose her temper today and her voice was quite gentle, Eli slowly relaxed.

"Not hungry."

At this time, a drumming sound came from Eli's stomach.

Mary burst out laughing: "Little liar."

Eli blushed and didn't dare to look at her.

Just as Mary was about to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, there was a knock on the door.

She walked over and looked at the person in front of her - Mason.

He had changed his clothes. Although they were still silver, the pattern was different. She could tell at a glance.

Ha! I just touched him, why are you so disgusted?

She is not the original owner, so how could she fall in love with this future flatterer?

"Mr. Huo, is there anything wrong?" Mary smiled sweetly.

Disgust flashed in Mason's eyes.

Was it really his illusion?

This woman was no different from before. When she saw him, she pounced on him like a cat seeing a mouse.

"I want to ask Hua'er for help." Mason said coldly: "Call him out."

Mary understood.

Mason is a cold-hearted person who is ruthless to everyone. He gives his tenderness and kindness to two people, one is Eli, an orphan who lost his parents when he was young, and the other is his childhood sweetheart Lily Yan.

"Hua'er, Mr. Huo asks you for help, go!" Mary turned around and said to Eli.

Eli walked out quickly.

He looked at Mason expectantly: "Uncle Huo."

"Let's go!" When seeing Eli, Mason's facial expression softened a lot.

Mary watched them walk towards the yard next door, turned and went into the kitchen without saying anything.

"Mary, Mary, you never dreamed that there would be such a day, right?" Mary said, holding two palm-sized sweet potatoes: "Forget it, let's eat this first."

At this time, she was extremely grateful that Mason took Eli over. If nothing else, at least she saved a meal. How could these two sweet potatoes be enough for two people? Not even enough for her alone.

After filling her stomach, Mary went back to the original owner’s room.

The whole room looked like a pigsty. Not only was there a peculiar smell, but it was also a mess.

She took a bucket to the river to fetch water and planned to clean the room inside and out.

When the women and girls washing clothes by the river saw Mary, they all retreated as if they had seen the plague god, leaving only one person there. That person was none other than Lily.

Mary looked at Lily.

Born in the countryside, she has fair skin and pretty features. She stands out among this group of rude village women, like a lotus blooming in clear water. No wonder she becomes the final winner.

Lily was washing clothes and noticed a gaze and turned back. Seeing that it was Mary, she looked a little uncomfortable: "Sister Jian, is there something wrong with me?"

Jian had a crush on Mason. Seeing that Mason ignored other women and was only special to Lily, she always bullied Lily when no one was around. Lily was no match for the sturdy original owner. She had suffered many losses from her. She had not noticed Mary just now, otherwise she would have left with the others.

"No, I just think your pearl flowers are very beautiful." Mary glanced at Lily's pearl flowers.

Lily touched her hair and her cheeks flushed.

At this time, she liked Mason. However, Mason was a scholar, and she was just a country girl. In addition, her family was not well off, so she was always very inferior and did not dare to show it.
