1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!

When everyone heard about the amount of money, they all gasped. They knew she was well-off, but seeing her casually produce so much money seemed like an astronomical figure.

Only the village chief's hand trembled; he was the only one who knew exactly how the three thousand yuan came about.

That money all belongs to his family!

Then his expression turned strange. How could it be such a coincidence?

Wen Li also looked at the village chief with a suspicious gaze. The moment their eyes met, they seemed to understand what the other was thinking!

Faced with Wen Li's suspicion, the village chief was so angry that his body was trembling. Since he had given the money to Wen Li, he had never thought of going back on his word. Otherwise, they would have spread the news long ago. Why wait until now?

If everyone knew that Wen Li had so much money, who would sit still? Not to mention the few good-for-nothings in the village, even the honest ones would be tempted!

"With so much money, you should report it to the police!"

The captain was also surprised that Wen Li had so much money hidden in her hands. He had never seen so much money in his life. Three thousand yuan, that must be a thick wad of cash!

"Captain, let me talk to the village chief first!"

The money didn't come from a legitimate source, and Wen Li would have a hard time explaining it to the police. So she never intended to report it to the police in the first place. However, since Jiang Yue'er dared to openly search her house, she should be prepared to be extorted by her.

The village chief knew immediately that Wen Li suspected him, but he was upright and had nothing to hide, so he led Wen Li aside.

"Wen, are you implying suspicion about my family?"

"It's not doubt, it's certainty!"

The village chief was so angry that he could hardly breathe, and the wrinkles on his face trembled.

"I, Jiang Jianjun, consider myself a decent person, and the children I raised are of good character. If you think my family did it, I'm not afraid to report it to the police!"

"You should know I won't report it to the police. If I do, things will get complicated regarding the money!"

The village chief was so angry at Wen Li's attitude that he jumped up and down, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Everyone's at work today, so if we really check everyone one by one, I'm sure we'll find them quickly. Your daughter, Jiang Yue'er, has been pestering me every day lately for my wooden plaque. You should know her personality; she won't give up until she gets what she wants. She's dirtied all my bedding and clothes; you have to compensate her!"

The village chief certainly knew Jiang Yue'er's personality, and now that Wen Li said that, it was indeed very likely that she was the one who did it.

He finally understood that Wen Li hadn't lost any money at all. She had made a scene to get compensation. Otherwise, if the investigation really went back to Jiang Yue'er, it would be up to Wen Li to decide whether the money was lost or not. In that case, not only would Jiang Yue'er be sent to a farm, but their family would also have to pay compensation.

"Wen, you've gone too far!"

Wen Li chuckled softly, "Village Chief, I've been relatively well-behaved in the past six months since I came to the countryside. I've never caused trouble. But Jiang Yue'er has hurt me time and time again. Since you're reluctant to discipline her, then I'll have to teach her a lesson in how to be a decent person!"

The village chief felt a little guilty when facing Wen Li, but people's hearts are biased. Jiang Yue'er was their daughter who had been pampered since she was a child, so how could he bear to punish her?

"What do you want?"

"Three hundred yuan in compensation, or I'll call the police!"

The village chief nearly choked on his breath; Wen Li was really asking for an exorbitant price!

The three thousand yuan from last time has left his family in debt, and now they need another three hundred. Where is he going to get three hundred yuan?

"Wen, it's true that Yue'er was in the wrong, but you have no evidence. This is just your guess. If you really report it to the police, I don't think you'll get away with it!"

"My three thousand yuan certainly didn't come from a very legitimate source, but village chief, have you considered this? Your whole family are just country folk who toil in the fields; where did you get so much money? I still have the receipt for the money I received from your family!"

The village chief, his lifeline now firmly in his grasp, gave Wen Li a deep look. "Wen, aren't you worried I'll make things difficult for you? After all, you still have to live in the village!"

"Village Chief, I have always respected you. You are generally fair in your dealings, but when it comes to matters concerning your own daughter, you start to lose your composure. Have you forgotten that Jiang Yue'er was able to return because of me?"

Wen Li didn't want to fall out with the village chief because she wanted to spend her time in the countryside peacefully. However, she also had powerful backers. If she was too weak, the Jiang family would think that anyone could take advantage of her!

The village chief finally agreed, promising to deliver the money in three days, and then left.

As soon as Wen Li returned, the captain asked, "Should we report this to the police?"

Wen Li immediately apologized to the captain, "Captain, I didn't lose any money, I just lost something very important, that's why I exaggerated. Now that it's been found, thank you for coming!"

The captain breathed a heavy sigh of relief. "You silly kid, I really thought you'd lost some money! Don't scare people like that next time!"

"I'm sorry to have worried you. I had no choice. That thing isn't worth much, but it has a lot of sentimental value for me, which is why I said that!"

When the brigade leader saw that Wen Li and the village chief had changed their tune after returning from their trip, he vaguely guessed that the matter was related to Jiang Yue'er. Since the matter had been resolved, he went home.

"Wen, what did you lose?"

"It's nothing, just a safety amulet. My mom made it for me herself, so it's quite meaningful. That's why I exaggerated it and made everyone worry. I'm sorry!"

"That's definitely a memorable memory!"

Everyone had seen Jiang Yue'er pestering Wen Li for something these past two days. Although they had guesses, they didn't ask, since they didn't dare offend the village chief. They could only whisper about it in private.

After this incident, Jiang Yue'er's reputation for stealing spread. Rumors, of course, are a mix of truth and falsehood, and they were made as outrageous as possible. In any case, by the time Jiang Yue'er found out, it was too late.

However, she did live in the village for more than ten years, so whether you believe it or not depends on your own understanding.

Three days later, Jiang Laosan brought three hundred yuan to Wen Li. Wen Li happily accepted the money and thanked Jiang Laosan with a smile.

Even though Jiang Laosan had a stable temper, he was still quite angry. He had managed to scrape together the money by selling his family's century-old ginseng, which he had originally intended to keep for his own survival. Now, his family was truly destitute.

Almost all of their family's savings over the years went into Wen Li's pocket.

Jiang Laosan gritted his teeth and said, "Wen Zhiqing, you're very good!"

"Of course I know I'm doing well. Now I finally understand why everyone says Jiang Yue'er is a lucky star. Isn't she a lucky star? My wallet is almost overflowing!"

Jiang Laosan nearly vomited blood from Wen Li's words, "You..."

"Instead of wasting your time complaining about me, you should go back and talk to your sister and tell her not to mess with me again. Otherwise, next time it won't be a matter of three hundred yuan. You might end up losing everything!"
