you can't use system() to call a shell script, you need to invoke the shell
interpreter instead, with something like "/system/xbin/sh
/system/xbin/test.sh"

I tried it just now from a trivial C program; worked fine. I'm not
sure why it would be diffe

Actually, I retract that, after checking our implementation, it always do a
"sh -c " so calling a shell script should work.
Have you tried checking the return value and errno after the call ?

I also try to do something(a command, not a script) with system(), it
always does not work.
system() return value is 256(-1),
according to ./bionic/libc/unistd/system.c
is that means fork() error?

-1 means you should look at errno / strerror(errno) for information about
the error
a >= 0 would correspond to the exit status of the process you invoked
