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

Seeing Jiang Chen's pained expression, Pan Yong could only sigh.

He really wanted to persuade him to give up, since the Jiang family's situation was almost a done deal and it wouldn't be so easy to get people out of there.

Moreover, they are currently penniless and lack connections. They can no longer contact Old Master Jiang's close friends and acquaintances, fearing they might be implicated.

Grandpa Jiang used all his connections to get Jiang Chen here, and there were two reasons for that.

First, find the treasure, then figure out a way to rescue them.

Secondly, even if the treasure is not found, Jiang Chen's identity has been cleared and he will not be implicated, and the Jiang family can still keep Jiang Chen's bloodline.

Jiang Chen is the most outstanding descendant of the Jiang family. Old Master Jiang believes that Jiang Chen will one day bring glory back to the family.

A few days ago, Jiang Chen received news that Old Master Jiang might not be able to hold on, which is why Jiang Chen was so anxious and lost his usual rationality.

Jiang Chen did not dwell on his pain; instead, he quickly rallied.

"Go tell Zhang Mazi and the others not to meet up recently. Everyone go to your assigned areas to search. Search carefully, I refuse to believe we can't find them!"

"Okay, I'll go tell them in a bit!"

Jiang Chen's eyes sharpened. "Also, tell them to keep their mouths shut, or they'll know the consequences!"

Seeing how quickly Jiang Chen regained his composure, Pan Yong admired him even more.

"yes!"

The next day, Wen Li went up the back mountain again to take a look. Today, Jiang Chen and the others were much more low-key and did not gather together. Instead, they went up the mountain separately and to different places.

Zhang Mazi even brought some corn kernels up the mountain, clearly indicating he was going to catch pheasants and rabbits.

When the village women saw this, they even teased Zhang Mazi about it.

Zhang Mazi didn't reveal any flaws and let the matter drop with a grin.

Wen Li finally breathed a sigh of relief; these people really were a handful!

In the original book, only Jiang Chen and Jiang Yue'er knew about the treasure in the end. Now that so many people know, if it gets leaked, who knows what kind of storm it will cause.

However, since these troublemakers were busy searching for treasure, no one bothered her.

Tang Shi, on the other hand, has been looking rather lost lately, and coupled with being extorted by Niu Zhaodi several times, her cute baby face has become quite haggard.

As an observer, Wen Li could see clearly that Jiang Chen had recently become unwilling to deal with Tang Shi. In addition, she had seen her arguing with Niu Zhaodi several times, so it was likely that Niu Zhaodi had extorted a lot of money from him.

Tang Shi was indeed very annoyed. Niu Zhaodi would come to ask her for money every few days, at least twenty yuan each time. After several times, she had been extorted by Niu Zhaodi for more than one hundred yuan.

Now she regrets it. Why did she get involved with Niu Zhaodi, that clingy woman?

She only brought five hundred yuan with her when she went to the countryside. After buying various things and having Niu Zhaodi extort money from her, she only had less than three hundred yuan left.

Her sisters-in-law were already unhappy when they found out that her parents had given her so much money. No matter how much her parents spoiled her, they wouldn't disregard their sisters-in-law's feelings.

So I only send her twenty yuan each quarter, which is eighty yuan a year.

She doesn't know how long she'll have to live in the countryside, and what she'll do if she runs out of money.

It can't go on like this!

We must find a way to get rid of Niu Zhaodi, this troublesome woman!

Thinking of the scene of Wen Li beating Niu Zhaodi, Tang Shi instantly had an idea.

"Xiao Shu, it's not dark yet, let's go for a walk!"

Shu Yun has been feeling quite lonely lately, as no one really pays attention to her. She doesn't know what she did wrong, but now that Tang Shi has suddenly contacted her again, she's quite happy.

Let's go!

The two chatted as they walked out of the educated youth compound. Tang Shi deliberately chose a road with few people. As they talked, the topic turned to Niu Zhaodi.

"Sigh~ I really don't know what to say about this educated youth!"

Tang Shi's tone was helpless, and her face showed some confusion. Shu Yun naturally picked up the conversation, "What happened to her this time?"

"I don't know if I should say it!"

Tang Shi looked distressed, but her face was actually full of "Quickly ask me, quickly ask me" expressions.

Shu Yun didn't disappoint her and asked directly, "What happened?"

Tang Shi glanced around nervously before leaning close to Shu Yun's ear and saying, "I overheard her telling the villagers today that Wen Zhiqing is a capitalist's daughter!"

Shu Yun's usually expressionless face finally showed surprise. "What? How could she do this? If Wen Zhiqing is reported, we'll be implicated too!"

Tang Shi gave a wry smile. "You're right. Do you think... we should tell Wen, the educated youth, about this?"

"Of course we should tell Wen, the educated youth! What if someone reports us?"

Tang Shi's face immediately showed a look of fear. "But when Niu Zhiqing said that, I was the only one nearby. What if she finds out that I was the one who told on her, and she beats me?"

Shu Yun seemed to be led by the nose, and a troubled look appeared on her face.

Seeing that Shu Yun was still standing there in a daze, Tang Shi cursed her in her heart as an "idiot" and could only express her thoughts.

"Xiao Shu, how about this?"

"Huh?" Shu Yun was completely confused.

"How about I keep an eye on Niu Zhiqing, and you tell Wen Zhiqing about this? That way, she won't know who told Wen Zhiqing, and we won't get caught. Plus, Wen Zhiqing will be more careful!"

Shu Yun agreed without hesitation, "Okay!"

"By the way, during the last heavy rain, I, Wen Zhiqing, had a little unpleasant experience. Don't tell her it was me who told her; just say you heard it with your own ears, so she doesn't disbelieve you. It wouldn't be good if she were careless and someone reported her!"

Shu Yun pondered for two seconds, then immediately agreed.

"I see!"

"Let's go then!"

Back at the educated youth compound, as agreed, Tang Shi went to keep an eye on Niu Zhaodi, while Shu Yun went to the backyard.

"Wen, I need to talk to you about something."

Wen Li looked at Shu Yun in surprise. Apart from a slight unpleasantness on their first day in the countryside, the two had hardly spoken since. Why was Shu Yun suddenly coming to find her?

Although puzzled, he still smiled gently.

"What's wrong?"

Shu Yun glanced at the others around her and said hesitantly, "Can we talk in your room?"

Wen Li had no idea what she was up to, but she still stood up and invited her inside, "Come in!"

The two returned to the house, and Shu Yun didn't waste any time, directly stating her purpose.

"Tang, a former educated youth, told me that she overheard Niu, a former educated youth, saying to the villagers that you were a capitalist's daughter. She asked me to tell you to be careful of Niu!"

Wen Li hadn't expected that she had come to see her about this, but she still showed an angry expression on her face.

"I understand. Please thank Tang Zhiqing for me. I'll be careful!"

"Okay, I'll head back now!"

Wen Li saw the person out, and after they left, Chen Yan asked curiously, "What did she want to see you about?"
