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

Everyone was happy that Wen Li was willing to teach, and the next day Su Hao couldn't wait to get a suit of diving gear.

Wen Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you that greedy?"

"Hehe, we didn't get enough yesterday, so everyone's eating at my place tonight!"

There looked like a lot of offal, but there were also a lot of people. Each person only had a few bites before it was gone, so no one got enough to eat.

"Okay, I'll tell you how to clean it. This thing really needs to be cleaned thoroughly, otherwise it'll smell!"

When Wen Li was teaching Su Hao, Qi Jun also came to observe and planned to buy some to eat next time, mainly because Chen Yan also liked to eat it.

Over the next few days, Qi Jun and Lu Zechuan would buy a set of offal every now and then, and everyone would share it. As a result, Wen Li got tired of it and never wanted to eat braised offal again.

That evening, Wen Li planned to go out for a walk to digest her food. Just as she reached the riverbank, she saw Liu Dapeng, also known as Er Laizi, suddenly approaching her.

"Wen, the educated youth!"

"Brother Liu, you've come to take a look around too?"

"No, I need to talk to you!" Er Laizi glanced furtively around to see if anyone was nearby.

Seeing his expression, Wen Li knew he must have something important to say, so she walked to an open space where there were no obstructions and anyone who came would be seen immediately.

"There's no one here. Speak, what is it?"

"Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on Guo Caixia? I've noticed that she and her husband have been getting very close to Jiang Chen lately. They go to the back mountain together every day after work. I followed them yesterday, and it seemed like they were looking for something!"

Wen Li raised an eyebrow; she hadn't expected these people to get together.

Does Jiang Chen already know that Guo Caixia has discovered his secret?

Given Jiang Chen's personality, Zhang Mazi and the others would definitely not keep them alive once they knew his secret. Could it be that Jiang Chen was in a hurry? Is that why he kept Guo Caixia and the others alive?

Yes, it's been almost a year and we still haven't found it. We should be worried.

However, in the original book, the male and female protagonists didn't find each other until two years later, and Jiang Chen wasn't in such a hurry!

Wen Li suddenly remembered that Jiang Chen's family was waiting for him to rescue them. In the original book, Jiang Yue'er made a lot of money using the space, and they also used the spiritual spring water to build up a lot of connections.

With these connections and a steady stream of money, Jiang Chen's family members didn't suffer much, even though some were imprisoned and others were sent to the countryside. After they were exonerated, his family members were all back to normal life.

However, Jiang Yue'er doesn't have any space right now. She can't earn much money by digging ginseng and hunting in the back mountain, and they don't have the opportunity to make so many connections. That's why Jiang Chen is anxious!

Wen Li never expected that a space would cause the growth path of the male and female protagonists to stagnate. Jiang Chen is now anxious to find that batch of treasures and then use his connections to save his family.

That makes sense.

"Brother Liu, you absolutely mustn't tell anyone about this, and don't keep an eye on them anymore!"

Erlaizi listened to advice, "Okay, I understand. But lately they've been making too much noise, and other people have also discovered they're looking for something in the back mountain!"

Wen Li became even more certain that Jiang Chen was in a hurry, and the secret he had kept hidden for so long would probably be discovered soon.

"No matter what news you hear lately, whatever you do, don't get involved, or you'll lose your life!"

Upon hearing that it concerned his life, Er Laizi became even more hesitant. He had just begun to enjoy a peaceful life with his wife and children, and he didn't want to lose his life over this.

"I absolutely will not get involved. I haven't even been to the back mountain lately!"

"No need for that. Just pretend you don't know anything and live your life as usual!"

After Erlaizi left, Wen Li glanced at the back mountain again. Something must have happened to Jiang Chen, but she didn't know what had happened.

Could it really be that something happened to his family?

However, I imagine they're not having a good time either. These days, if they're confined to a fence, being cold and hungry is the least of their worries; being beaten is the norm.

Those who were sent down to the countryside had even fewer human rights; they had to work non-stop every day, which was even worse than being sent to a cowshed.

Jiang Chen is so eager to find the treasure that he probably wants to use connections to get things done.

Wen Li was happy to see him suffer, as long as he didn't get dragged into it.

His recent actions have been so significant that they may have already attracted the attention of some people. If everyone finds out that there is treasure in the back mountain, it won't be a good thing.

Now that small yellow croakers can't be used openly, anyone with a brain knows the saying "gold is precious in times of chaos," so this is bound to cause quite a stir.

Wen Li thought for a moment and decided that she should tell Jiang Chen about this and subtly remind him to keep a low profile.

The next day after work, Wen Li went to the back mountain and found that Jiang Chen had taken Pan Yong and Guo Caixia there.

A short while later, Jiang Yue'er, Jiang Laosan, and Jiang Laosi also joined them.

I don't know what they discussed, but then they went their separate ways.

The group of seven headed south into the deep mountains, and their large number quickly attracted attention.

Wen Li couldn't help but feel worried for them.

However, people just think they went to the mountains to catch pheasants and don't think much of it. But if this happens a few more times, it won't be so easy to hide it.

Wen Li gathered some firewood and dug up some wild vegetables before heading down the mountain.

After finishing their meal, estimating the time Jiang Chen would usually return, Wen Li took Chen Yan to the back to digest their food.

Sure enough, Jiang Chen and Pan Yong returned from the mountain shortly afterward, each carrying a bundle of firewood on their backs.

"I went to collect firewood in the back mountain today and happened to see Zhang Mazi and Guo Caixia going into the deep mountains, acting suspiciously. It felt like they were looking for something!"

Chen Yan: "What good stuff could there be in the back mountain? They're not planning to hunt prey to sell for money, are they?"

Wen Li nodded thoughtfully. "That's quite possible. There's plenty of prey in the back mountains this season; it's a good time to make money!"

"It seems Guo Caixia and Zhang Mazi are truly committed to a life together; they're even planning for the future!"

"Indeed, it's rare to see her behave herself!"

After making sure Jiang Chen heard what she had just said, Wen Li changed the subject. They were just chatting casually, and Jiang Chen wouldn't suspect anything.

Jiang Chen broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Wen Li's words. He belatedly realized that he had indeed been a bit impatient these past two days.

Pan Yong, of course, took Wen Li's words to heart.

"Boss, it looks like we'll have to keep a lower profile from now on!"

A flicker of pain crossed Jiang Chen's eyes. He wanted to take it slow, but he was afraid his grandfather wouldn't last much longer.

He asked that person to help look after his parents, but he only received a message once this year during the Chinese New Year, and hasn't heard from them for the past few months.

They are probably in grave danger now.

Grandpa used all his connections to send him to the countryside in search of treasure, but it's been almost a year and he's still got nothing.

Those who promised to help mediate probably couldn't wait any longer, which is why they lost their composure.
