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

The next day, when Wen Li went to work, she found He Qiang limping out. He hadn't fully recovered and couldn't work yet. When he came to the field, he kept scanning everyone with his sinister eyes.

Of course, most of the time, those eyes were on Wen Li.

Aunt Wang felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. "Xiao Li, did you offend Qiangzi somehow? His eyes are so scary!"

Wen Li stood up, and He Qiang looked away, sitting there quietly gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

"Aunt Wang, I didn't offend him!"

Aunt Wang glanced at He Qiang again, then turned away and rolled her eyes.

"I don't know what's wrong with him, but the way he looked at you just now was like he wanted to devour you alive. Is he still trying to bother you?"

"Let me tell you, you'd better be careful. Hu Xiaocao is no simple character. If he really sets his sights on you, given his personality, he'll definitely come knocking on your door and harass you!"

Wen Li sat down next to Aunt Wang and gave her a few washed grapes.

"I'm not someone to be trifled with. If she dares to come to my door, I'll beat her to a pulp!"

"That's true! You have to be assertive when dealing with that kind of scoundrel."

Aunt Wang carefully put the grapes into a pocket to the side. Wen Li often gave her some fruit and snacks, but she couldn't bear to eat them herself and would take them back to her grandchildren at home.

"That kid He Qiang is finished. I wonder who he offended; they really went all out!"

Wen Li thought to herself, who else could it be? The murderer is right in front of you, but she wouldn't say it out loud. So she picked up a grape and stuffed it directly into Aunt Wang's mouth.

"You should try these grapes, they're so sweet!"

She had already stuffed them all into her mouth, and no matter how reluctant she was, she had no choice but to eat them.

"Oh dear, you silly girl, I'm so old, isn't it a waste for me to eat such expensive things? This isn't cheap, you keep it for yourself!"

"You've helped me a lot during my time in the countryside, so please don't be shy about it!"

That's how simple and honest country people are. Wenli would occasionally give her some food, and Aunt Wang treated her almost like a daughter, considering her needs in everything.

Feelings are built over time. Aunt Wang is good to Wen Li, and Wen Li will not forget her kindness.

He poured Aunt Wang another glass of honey water, and the two of them sat there chatting about gossip.

"Are you at work? You two are just sitting here chatting!"

The two were chatting enthusiastically when the team leader came over. There wasn't much work to be done in the fields right now, and most of the villagers were just lazing around, so the team leaders turned a blind eye.

Aunt Wang shifted her position, gesturing for him to come and sit down. "Gangzi, come and rest a bit, try some honey water made with pears!"

Their team leader was Aunt Wang's nephew, and he was usually quite lenient with Aunt Wang and Wen Li.

"Auntie, even if you two are just putting on an act, don't just sit here doing nothing. Some leaders might come down for an inspection in the next couple of days; don't let me get scolded by the brigade leader because of it!"

"Alright, alright, Auntie knows. We were just getting tired and wanted a drink of water. We'll get back to work right away!"

Gangzi rolled his eyes. "I saw you two sitting here from a mile away, and you just sat down?"

Wen Li was caught slacking off, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. "Haha, I'll go to work right away!"

"It's almost time to get off work, so don't bother!"

Before Wen Li could get up, Gangzi called her back.

Wen Li wasn't the type to enjoy working, so when the team leader spoke up, she naturally sat back down.

"Gangzi, what do you mean by the leaders coming down for an inspection?"

Gangzi glanced around before speaking softly, "Another family is about to be sent down here, and the brigade leader told us to keep an eye on them!"

"What? More people have been sent down here? What a disaster!"

Aunt Wang's words startled Gangzi so much he almost lost his footing. "Auntie, don't talk nonsense! What if someone hears you? Don't you want to live?"

Aunt Wang then realized she had said the wrong thing. She glanced around furtively to make sure no one had heard her before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh dear, look at me, I'm getting senile!"

Wen Li was a little curious about that family. "Captain, do you know anything about that family?"

"I heard they're all intellectuals, but I don't know the specifics. It seems like their whole families came!"

Wen Li frowned. The "stinking intellectuals" that Gangzi mentioned were the intellectuals of today. The fact that they were only sent down to the countryside at this time meant that they were probably not returned students from abroad or had problematic backgrounds. They were most likely highly educated people such as teachers or professors who were reported by their students or rivals.

Many teachers are reported now, but most of them choose to sever ties with their families by publishing notices in the newspaper. It is very rare for an entire family to be sent to the countryside.

"Sigh... those Revolutionary Committee people finally calmed down a bit, but I'm afraid the village will be in turmoil again!"

When that group of people were first sent down to the countryside, the members of the Revolutionary Committee would come over from time to time to conduct ideological education and then hold criticism and struggle sessions.

Old Wang and his fellow villagers had also been subjected to numerous criticism sessions, but as they spent more time in the countryside, the Revolutionary Committee members rarely came over anymore.

With more people coming, things are probably getting tougher in the cowshed.

Wen Li was even more worried about the situation of Old Man Wang and the others. They had finally recovered their health, and if people saw their current condition, it would probably implicate the captain.

After finishing her work, Wen Li went to the cowshed again. When she arrived, she saw that Old Wang and the others had smeared their faces with soot from the bottom of a pot, and their clothes were also dirty and messy.

The thick bedding and food that Wenli brought were all hidden away.

Looking at it this way, he has fallen into utter destitution.

"Wen girl, what brings you here? Did something happen?" Old Zhou was so frightened when he saw Wen Li come in broad daylight that he quickly pulled her away to hide.

"No, I heard that the people who were sent down to the countryside are coming over in the next couple of days, so I came to check if there's anything amiss!"

"Hey, don't worry about us, we know what we're doing. You'd better leave now, it won't look good if someone sees you!"

Seeing Old Man Zhou's anxious look, Wen Li didn't want them to worry, so she quietly left the cowshed.

As she came out of the cowshed, she saw He Qiang walking towards her.

A sense of annoyance flashed through Wen Li's heart. She knew that He Qiang was targeting her. Being stared at like this made her feel restricted in everything she did.

He Qiang must have seen her go to the cowshed, but he definitely didn't see her talking to Old Man Zhou.

It doesn't matter; even if he knows something, there's no evidence.

After returning home, Wen Li checked her room again.

She stored everything that shouldn't be there in her space, so even if she was reported, they wouldn't be able to find any evidence, and she wouldn't leave any handle on anyone.

She also reminded Zhou Yu a few things, as Old Man Zhou had been very good to her, and Wen Li wouldn't let Zhou Yu get into trouble.

Zhou Yu lived in a large dormitory. There wasn't anything out of the ordinary in his room, just a few books and the like.

Zhou Yu had witnessed how his grandfather was criticized and denounced, and upon hearing this news, he fell silent.
