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

Wen Li had just finished a busy day when she saw Jiang Yue'er walking towards her. The two had completely fallen out, and Wen Li didn't bother to greet her, but Jiang Yue'er did walk towards her.

"I have something for you!"

Wen Li thought that she still owed her three ginseng roots, so she followed her to a secluded spot.

Jiang Yue'er took out a handkerchief from her pocket, inside which were three ginseng roots.

"Here's the ginseng. We're even now. You'd better not use that note to threaten my family again!"

Wen Li just stared coldly at Jiang Yue'er without reaching out to take it.

Jiang Yue'er's eyes flickered, a hint of guilt flashing in them, but remembering that Wen Li was just an ignorant idiot, she quickly concealed that guilt. "What? You're trying to extort me?"

"Do you really think I'm stupid? Even if I'm blind, I can still tell the difference between ginseng and pokeweed. Is this how you try to fool me?"

Wen Li was almost amused by Jiang Yue'er's cleverness. If she hadn't known about traditional Chinese medicine, she might have actually been fooled. If Jiang Yue'er had really used these ginseng roots to make medicinal wine, it was hard to say whether Wen's father and elder brother would still be alive!

That Jiang Yue'er is truly vicious!

Jiang Yue'er was surprised that Wen Li knew Shang Lu. She suddenly realized that Wen Li seemed to be very different from the one in the original book. The Wen Li in her book was a brainless young lady. How could she know the difference between ginseng and Shang Lu?

"You don't even recognize herbs? This isn't pokeweed, it's ginseng!"

"My mom is a military doctor. Do you think I wouldn't recognize ginseng?"

Jiang Yue'er suddenly remembered this point, and her doubts were somewhat dispelled. However, once the seed of doubt is planted, it is not so easy to dispel.

Seeing that Jiang Yue'er was looking at her with suspicion, Wen Li wasn't worried. After all, none of them were the real people, so who was afraid of whom?

"I apologize for my mistake. I'll go look for it again, and I'll bring it to you when I find some in a couple of days!"

"Don't admit you're wrong next time, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After Wen Li finished speaking, she left, leaving Jiang Yue'er watching Wen Li's departing figure thoughtfully.

Logically speaking, the person who knows Wen Li best is Guo Caixia, but she has a grudge against Guo Caixia, so even if she asks, Guo Caixia won't tell her. It seems she'll have to find another opportunity to test her next time.

Wen Li guessed that Jiang Yue'er might test her, but she didn't expect her method of testing to be so bizarre!

"Odd changes, even remains the same!"

Wen Li looked at Jiang Yue'er as if she were a fool. Did she think this was ancient times?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Yue'er continued, "Imperial Jade Liquor—"

Wenli continued digging for wild vegetables.

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?"

Seeing that Wen Li's hands hadn't stopped for a moment, Jiang Yue'er was instantly deflated. Had she guessed wrong? Just as Jiang Yue'er was about to be disappointed, she saw Wen Li raise her head.

"Imperial Jade Liquor?"

Jiang Yue'er was secretly delighted and looked at Wen Li with anticipation, hoping that she would reveal the next code.

"Comrade Jiang, we're in the new China now. If you want to drink, buy Moutai and Lao Baigan. It's best to avoid those feudal dynasty products. Be careful, or you'll get reported if word gets out!"

Jiang Yue'er's face immediately fell. It seemed she had been overthinking things. Wen Li hadn't transmigrated at all. Of course, she was the lucky heroine of this world, and Wen Li was just cannon fodder.

Just wait, the Wen family will soon fall, and then she'll see how Wen Li protects herself!

Jiang Yue'er glared at Wen Li and then went into the deep mountains.

When Wen Li saw that the person had left, she burst out laughing. I don't know what she was thinking. Did she really think that when fellow villagers meet, they are moved to tears?

It's good enough if your fellow villager doesn't stab you in the back, you're even stupid enough to use secret codes!

Of course, she—Wen Li—is the fellow villager who stabbed you in the back twice!

"What are you laughing at?"

"You ran into an idiot. How come you're back so soon?"

"There are too many people in the mountains, and the prey have all been scared away, so I came back first!"

Lu Zechuan had already noticed that Jiang Chen and the others seemed to be looking for something in the back mountain, but he didn't know if they were looking for the same thing.

Jiang Chen's identity was already a sensitive one, so Lu Zechuan had to be on guard. However, he often went hunting in the back mountains, so he didn't arouse too much suspicion. The only concern was that Jiang Chen might find those things before him, so it seemed he had to speed up his actions.

"Let's go, I picked a lot of bracken today, we'll stir-fry it with cured pork tonight!"

The two returned to the educated youth compound. Chen Yan and Qi Jun brought back several dishes from the state-run restaurant and invited Su Hao and the others to eat at their place.

As soon as Deng Wei sat down, he dropped a bombshell: "I heard that more new educated youth are coming!"

"What? More educated youth are coming? Is there enough room in the front yard?"

"That's what I'm worried about. If there are too many people, they might send some to crowd into our backyard!"

Su Hao was the first to object, "I won't agree to that! We've already paid rent!"

"They probably won't be sending too many people this time, since we already have quite a few people here. I heard the next brigade only has seven educated youths!"

Chen Yan: "Can't we arrange for them to stay with villagers? I've heard that's how it's done in some villages!"

"No, in the early years, some educated youth were assigned to live in villagers' homes, and many female educated youth were harmed in the end. I heard that our village used to live in villagers' homes as well, but after a lot of trouble, this place was cleaned up and we were given a place to live. Otherwise, do you think we could live in such a nice house?"

Although the place was dilapidated, at least the roof was tiled, while many households in the village still lived in thatched huts. The villagers had been eyeing this place for a long time, and no one was willing to give it up. In the end, a lot of trouble happened in the village, and that's when it was finally set up as a youth educated youth home.

Moreover, the villagers agreed to the decision because they could earn rent from the houses in the backyard!

"The captain probably won't assign anyone to our backyard. After all, we've paid rent, so don't worry about it!"

"Xiao Li is right. If we arrange for them to come to the backyard, the villagers won't agree!"

The rent they pay is considered part of the village's collective income, which is distributed to each household at the end of the year. This is a major source of income for the village.

After finishing their meal, the group went to the front yard to ask Chen Jiahao. Upon receiving a positive answer, the people in the front yard all looked very unhappy.

Especially for the female educated youth, Guo Caixia had only been gone a few days before new people were arriving, meaning they would be crammed together again. Fortunately, there weren't many educated youth being sent this time, only two men and two women, which was barely enough room, but it was still very crowded!

When Wen Li heard that there were only four educated youths, she knew that the plot was different from the original book. She wondered if the educated youths who came this time were characters from the book.

Chen Jiahao and Li Hong spent a long time patiently persuading everyone before the people in the front yard reluctantly packed up their belongings.
