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

In contrast to Wen Li's smugness, the Jiang family's situation was far from good. Jiang Yue'er looked at the coarse grain buns on the dining table and hated Wen Li so much that her teeth itched.

"Moon, don't mess with Wen Zhiqing anymore. She's not someone you can mess with!"

"Third Brother, are you blaming me too?" Jiang Yue'er was already feeling wronged, and being constantly lectured by Jiang Laosan made her even more upset.

Jiang Laosan put down the cornbread in his hand and patiently explained, "Third brother isn't blaming you, it's just that Wen Zhiqing didn't provoke you. You don't need to target her. You know our family's current situation; we can't afford any more trouble!"

Yu Shuang took a bite of the egg in her hand. "Yue'er, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but Wen Zhiqing is naturally beautiful. There's no use being jealous!"

As soon as Yu Shuang said this, the three Jiang brothers all looked at her with disapproval.

"Why are you looking at me? Wen, the educated youth, didn't provoke her at all. She tried to frame him time and time again, but instead of succeeding, she got outmaneuvered. Isn't she just asking for trouble?"

Yu Shuang may not necessarily like Wen Li that much, but she dislikes Jiang Yue'er even more. Ever since she married Jiang Lao Er, she has seen how much this family protects Jiang Yue'er.

Fortunately, she had some family wealth and wasn't someone who could be easily manipulated. If she had been a little softer and married into the family, she probably would have been ostracized to death by this family.

Jiang Yue'er seems easy to get along with on the surface, but she gets jealous whenever Jiang Lao Er treats her well, making Jiang Lao Er waver. In the end, however, he still sides with Jiang Yue'er's younger sister.

Originally, she had planned to live a good life with Jiang Lao Er because he treated her well. Now she was glad that she hadn't been soft-hearted back then. Otherwise, if they had actually gotten the marriage certificate, she didn't know how she would have been tormented by this family!

Anyway, she'll leave the Jiang family sooner or later, so she's happy to cause trouble for Jiang Yue'er.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you mean? We're family, why are you siding with Wen Li?"

"I'm just telling the truth! Look at you, you've made our family eat nothing but cornbread, and you still have the nerve to yell at me?"

"That money was earned by me anyway, so how I want to do it is none of your business!"

"Yes, yes, you make money, you're amazing! Show me how you can make another three thousand three hundred dollars!"

Jiang Yue'er was quite angry at Yu Shuang's sarcastic words. In the end, she looked at Jiang Lao Er with teary eyes. When Jiang Lao Er saw his sister crying, he softened.

"Yu Shuang, shut up!"

"I told you so! I told you so! She's just a troublemaker, she's just jealous that Wen Zhiqing is prettier than her!"

"Shut up!" Liu Guixiang came in carrying a bowl of porridge and heard Yu Shuang bullying Jiang Yue'er again. She slammed the bowl down and pointed at Yu Shuang's nose, yelling, "Yu Shuang, don't forget that Yue'er is your sister-in-law! You eat and drink at my house, and you still side with outsiders! Are you even human?"

Yu Shuang had long disliked her mother-in-law, Liu Guixiang. Not only did Liu Guixiang dote on Jiang Yue'er, but she also demanded that the whole family obey her. If anything displeased her, she would cry and wail. She could put on a good act outside, but she stopped pretending at home altogether.

"Mom, I give you five yuan a month for living expenses. When did I start eating and drinking at your house?"

"You... ever since you married into the family, you haven't gone to work, and you don't do any housework either. Do you even have the self-awareness of being someone's daughter-in-law?"

"I have money, why should I work or do housework? I learned all that from your daughter, didn't I?"

"Can you compare to my Yue'er?"

"Yes, of course we can't compare. I'm far more noble than that country girl of yours; she can't compare to me!"

"You, you, you..."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, the village chief kept giving Jiang Lao Er meaningful glances, urging him to take his wife away quickly.

Jiang Lao Er received the hint and immediately got up, pulling Yu Shuang out.

"What a disaster! I knew I shouldn't have married such a troublemaker. Now she dares to shit on my head. What hope is there for this daughter-in-law?"

"Yes, yes, I'm a troublemaker, and Jiang Yue'er is a jinx. You'll be crying later!"

The village chief, his back slightly hunched, watched the noisy family. "Second son, keep an eye on your wife!"

Jiang Lao Er immediately covered Yu Shuang's mouth and dragged her towards his house.

After Yu Shuang left, only Liu Guixiang, who was cursing, and Jiang Yue'er, who was wiping away tears, remained. The men in the Jiang family were also upset, but the important thing was that they only had about ten yuan left in the house.

Seeing the increasing amount of white hair on the village chief's head, Jiang Laosan felt bad. "Dad, don't worry. It's spring now. I'll go for a walk in the back mountain after the snow melts in a couple of days. I believe it won't be long before we pay off the debt!"

"It's all Wen Zhiqing's fault. If it weren't for her, our Yue'er wouldn't be..."

Jiang Laosi was furious. His family used to be so happy and harmonious, but ever since Wen Li went to the countryside, there has never been a moment of peace in their home. It was as if Wen Li was deliberately bringing misfortune upon their family.

"Alright, that's enough!" Jiang Laosan quickly stopped Jiang Laosi from finishing his sentence. He was afraid that if Jiang Laosi finished speaking, Jiang Yue'er would target Wen Li even more, and the family couldn't afford any more trouble.

Jiang Yue'er was aware of her family's current situation. She had transmigrated here to live a good life, not to eat these hard cornbreads every day. Making money was the priority right now.

"Third Brother, I'll go with you and Fourth Brother. With me at home, you'll recover quickly!"

"Good, Yue'er is sensible!"

Of course, Jiang Laosan was happy for Jiang Yue'er to go with him. Without Jiang Yue'er, it would be difficult for them to catch prey, and they might even encounter wild animals. With her there, it would be safer.

Besides, they still owe Wen Li three ginseng roots!

Jiang Yue'er returned to her room, her eyes flashing with a sinister light as she looked at Jiang Lao Er's room, and Yu Shuang...

After everyone's hard work for half a month, the land has finally been turned over, and the next step is to cultivate seedlings and sow seeds.

After half a month, the snow on the back mountain had almost melted, and small green buds gradually appeared on the branches. Everyone took off their thick cotton-padded coats, and finally they didn't have to wear such heavy clothes anymore, making it much easier to work.

After another two weeks of busy work, spring planting is finally over. The back mountain is no longer barren; all sorts of wild grasses and vegetables have sprouted up.

After finishing work, Wen Li went to the back mountain with Li Xiangxiang and Chen Yan. After a whole winter, everyone was finally able to eat some fresh vegetables. Although Wen Li's space had fresh vegetables, she couldn't stand eating them for several months and wanted to change things up.

The shepherd's purse, purslane, and bracken fern on the back hill are now growing tenderly and lushly. Even if everyone goes to dig them up, new ones will grow back in a couple of days. Wen Li took the opportunity to plant some in her space so that she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to eat them when she wanted to in the future.

She's such a clever little thing.
