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

Seeing how frightened she was, most of the people believed her.

"No way! We've watched Yue'er grow up; I don't think she could do something like this!"

Wen Li's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face. Her pitiful appearance made all the aunties' hearts ache.

"I also think Comrade Jiang wouldn't do such a thing, but I don't know why, even though she knew those people were human traffickers, she didn't call for help and insisted on chasing after me. When I, a girl, saw those people, all I could think about was running away, how could I dare to go near them?"

Many people instantly felt that Wen Li's words made sense.

"Yeah, who would dare approach those fierce-looking people? I certainly wouldn't!"

"Then why didn't you call for help?"

Wen Li: ...Could she say that she felt two legs couldn't beat two wheels?

"I didn't know those people were human traffickers. Although I was a sent-down youth, I'm still a part of the village, and I didn't want to make a big deal out of it!"

Everyone instantly felt that Wen Li was incredibly understanding!

"I don't think Yue'er did it on purpose; she was probably just scared!"

Wen Li said in a low voice, "Comrade Jiang already knew those people were human traffickers!"

Li Xiangxiang was indignant. "You still say it wasn't intentional? Jiang Yue'er did it on purpose! It's no secret that she dislikes Wen Zhiqing. Maybe she even wanted those people to arrest Wen Zhiqing. After all, Wen Zhiqing is so beautiful; she could be sold for a lot of money!"

Wen Li secretly gave Li Xiangxiang a thumbs up, "Great job, sister!"

If these words were spoken by educated youth, everyone would definitely think they were slandering Jiang Yue'er. It's just that Li Xiangxiang, a villager, has more influence.

"But she got arrested too, so what was she after?"

"Didn't I say? It was an unequal distribution of the spoils. She must have been dissatisfied with the money the traffickers gave her, which angered them, so they simply kidnapped Jiang Yue'er as well. Anyway, Jiang Yue'er is quite pretty!"

"That's quite possible!"

"That's absolutely vicious!"

Wen Li knew when to stop, and without saying a word, she wiped away her tears, which aroused the sympathy of the aunties once again, and they all offered words of comfort.

Whether the villagers believe it or not, Wen Li's suspicion has been largely cleared. As for Jiang Yue'er... she's the female lead, she has the female lead's halo, maybe everyone will forget about her in a couple of days!

Seeing that things had calmed down, Chen Yan pretended to have tears in her eyes as she comforted the swaying Wen Li, and then helped her leave this place of trouble.

As everyone watched Wen Li leave, their shoulders trembled, and they believed her even more.

Li Xiangxiang sighed, "Sigh... Wen Zhiqing saved so many people and helped catch so many human traffickers, and she finally escaped back home, yet she's still called cold-blooded. How pitiful!"

The aunties who had scolded Wen Li today all looked a little embarrassed.

When they heard that she had refused to help someone in distress, they were furious and started cursing her. But then the story took a turn!

To put it bluntly, they're just taking advantage of Wen Li being an educated youth. After all, Jiang Yue'er is "one of their own," so they're more likely to trust her!

Li Xiangxiang's words reversed many people's impressions of Wen Li.

When Jiang Yue'er returned from the back mountain, she learned that the sky had fallen!

Yesterday, the whole village was cursing Wen Li, but she was gone for just one afternoon, and everyone started praising her, even calling her a hero!

Some people started pointing and gossiping when they saw her.

Now the tables have turned, and Jiang Yue'er is the one being scolded!

After she figured out what had happened, she was so angry that she threw down the basket in her hand and stared at the direction of the educated youth compound with gritted teeth.

"Wen Li, Wen Li, why does this bitch insist on going against me?"

Looking at Jiang Yue'er's distorted features, Jiang Laosan suddenly felt that this younger sister was a complete stranger.

Although Jiang Yue'er used to be a little willful, she was definitely not the kind of malicious person. When did she become like this?

He considered himself the person who understood Jiang Yue'er the most, after all, the two siblings had the best relationship since childhood. Could it be that he had too much of a filter for Jiang Yue'er, causing him to subconsciously overlook many of her behaviors?

"Moon!"

Jiang Yue'er regained her senses upon hearing Jiang Laosan's voice, and her heart skipped a beat when she met his warning gaze.

She was so angry that she forgot there were other people around. A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, and she quickly composed herself.

"Third Brother, I'm sorry, I was just so angry. Wen Li must be framing me. I really don't know those human traffickers!"

Jiang Yue'er's every move was observed by Jiang Laosan. Her expression changed so quickly that Jiang Laosan, looking at Jiang Yue'er from an outsider's perspective, realized that Jiang Yue'er's acting skills were actually quite good!

If he hadn't been keeping a close eye on her, he might never have realized that his beloved, kind-hearted younger sister, whom he had doted on for over a decade, was actually far more cunning than he had imagined.

Jiang Yue'er felt a little uneasy under Jiang Laosan's gaze; the sight of Jiang Laosan in front of her made her somewhat flustered.

"Third Brother, you don't believe me either?"

Looking at Jiang Yue'er's heartbroken face, Jiang Laosan felt a pang of heartache as if by reflex. A voice kept telling him in his mind: This is the sister he swore to cherish with his life, how could he hurt her?

Jiang Laosan's clear eyes blurred for a moment, as if he had forgotten what he was just thinking. Looking at Jiang Yue'er with red eyes, he subconsciously denied it.

"Third brother believes in you. I'll explain to everyone. Don't be sad!"

Jiang Yue'er immediately stopped crying and started laughing, "I knew Third Brother was the best to me!"

"Are you saying that Fourth Brother is not good?" As soon as Jiang Lao Si returned, he heard Jiang Yue'er praising Third Brother, and his jealousy immediately rose.

"My third and fourth brothers are both wonderful. With my brothers spoiling me, I'm the happiest person in the world!"

"That's more like it. Look what Fourth Brother brought back for you!" Jiang Lao Si picked up what he was holding and waved it in front of Jiang Yue'er.

Wow~ Cloth coupons!

"Fourth Brother specially arranged for someone to exchange it. Summer is almost here, so you can use it to buy a dress!"

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the Jiang family courtyard once again, as if the rumors outside had no effect on their family happiness.

Of course, Jiang Lao Er was an exception. Yu Shuang's departure was a big blow to him, and even his most beloved younger sister couldn't cheer him up.

-

Wen Li and Chen Yan burst into laughter as soon as they returned to the educated youth compound.

"Wen, you've got acting skills I admire!"

"Chen Zhiqing, your acting is pretty good too!"

The two complimented each other for a while before stopping laughing.

"Jiang Yue'er's reputation will definitely be affected now, Xiao Li, your method is really brilliant!"

"That's not necessarily true. Jiang Yue'er has lived in the village for so many years; the villagers say it only takes two days!"

"No way, what she did was absolutely vicious!"

"To the villagers, we are the outsiders; otherwise, they wouldn't have been misled by Jiang Yue'er's ambiguous words!"
