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

"Since you want to hear it, shall I tell you?"

"Go ahead and tell me!" Fan Yu's interest was piqued again.

"Jiang Chen appears cold and aloof on the surface, seemingly a high-and-mighty figure, but in reality, he's dark-hearted, heartless, and ruthless, willing to do anything to achieve his goals. His greatest skill is manipulating women to get what he wants!"

Fan Yu's eyes widened in shock. "Is he really that bad?"

Wen Li met Fan Yu's scrutinizing gaze directly, without flinching.

"I have a grudge against him, so the Jiang Chen I see is different from the Jiang Chen you see. But I can guarantee he's definitely not a good person; he's only getting close to you to use you!"

Seeing that Wen Li remained open and honest, Fan Yu lowered her guard.

"Actually, I quite liked him at first. He said that his family background was bad, and that it was Village Chief Jiang who knew about it. Jiang Yue'er had taken a liking to him when he first came to the countryside, so Village Chief Jiang coerced him into marrying Jiang Yue'er. He had no choice but to marry Jiang Yue'er, and he didn't like her at all!"

"Pfft~" Wen Li couldn't help but laugh, not expecting Jiang Chen to be able to use sweet talk. "Did you believe that?"

Fan Yu's ears turned red instantly, and then she nodded shyly.

Perhaps this matter was too shameful for her to tell anyone else, so she revealed it all to Wen Li, a stranger.

"I later secretly inquired and found out that the truth was not what he said at all. When I confronted him, he still tried to lie to me. He really thought I was a fool!"

"Besides, I became suspicious when he mentioned his bad family background. I do think he's good-looking and warm-hearted, but I'm not stupid enough to be deceived by him!"

Wen Li didn't expect Jiang Chen to have two faces; he really went to great lengths to appease Fan Yu.

"Looks like my trip today was a waste! You already know his true colors."

"How could this trip be in vain? We know each other now, so we're friends, right?"

Wen Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and extended her right hand.

"Hello, my name is Wen Li, nice to meet you!"

Fan Yu smiled and extended her right hand. "Hello, my name is Fan Yu. It's nice to meet you, my friend!"

The two smiled knowingly. It's true that people's magnetic fields are strange. Many people can spend ten or eight years together and still not become friends, but on the very first day they met Fan Yu, the two became best friends who could talk about anything.

It wasn't until it was almost time to go to work that Fan Yu reluctantly waved goodbye to Wen Li.

"I'll come see you the day after tomorrow when I have time off. You absolutely must come see me too, even if you don't have anything else to do!"

"Okay, I won't be working the day after tomorrow afternoon. I'll wait for you at the youth center, and I'll teach you how to make mushroom sauce!"

"No problem, be careful on your way back!"

Fan Yu saw Wen Li off out of the village before excitedly turning back.

Wen Li walked out of the village, and Er Laizi was still waiting for her by the roadside.

"You're out so soon? Did you see He Qiang?"

Erlaizi still seemed a little dazed.

"Yeah, poor He Qiang!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Li immediately became interested. "How tragic was it?"

"He was locked in the house. He had lost a lot of weight and was covered in stubble. I almost didn't recognize him. I think if He Qiang continues like this, he might go crazy!"

Er Laizi thought about He Qiang's lifeless appearance and felt hopeless about life.

"He Li is even worse off. She was also locked in a room, and if she didn't behave, she wouldn't be fed and would be beaten. Now that she's pregnant, she's not locked up anymore, but her sister-in-law is still watching her. I don't know why, but I think that family is really strange!"

Wen Li knew the Zou family wasn't a good family, but she didn't expect them to be so ruthless.

But it's all for the best; she's already avenged half of her past life's grudge.

"Oh? It seems He Qiang is finished. He Lin, as He Qiang's cousin, looks quite a bit like him, so why doesn't Zou Dazhuang like him?"

"Hiss~" Er Laizi gasped. Wen Li was trying to wipe out the He family. "Wen Zhiqing, can I ask you what the He family did to offend you?"

"A blood feud!"

Erlaizi shrank back in fear. "What do you want to do?"

Wen Li liked Er Laizi's sense of propriety; once he was on her pirate ship, there was no reason for him to get off halfway.

"Tell He Qiang that if he wants to escape, he should trick He Lin into coming and replacing him! Zou Dazhuang probably has someone new now, so he won't want He Qiang anymore!"

Zou Dazhuang likes He Qiang so much because he didn't get him before. With his personality, he can only treat He Qiang as a toy at most.

Besides, He Qiang is disabled and has been tortured to the point of being inhuman. If someone whispers something in his ear, Zou Dazhuang would not care about He Qiang at all.

Er Laizi finally understands what "the most poisonous heart is a woman's" truly means!

"Then I'll come over in a couple of days and talk to He Qiang. Let him persuade Zou Dazhuang himself. If he agrees, I'll tell you. If he doesn't agree..."

Wen Li tore off a weed by the roadside, threw it on the ground, and chased it away.

"He'll agree!"

"How can you be so sure? They're brothers, grew up together, and have a very close relationship. Would he really do something like betraying his brother?"

Erlaizi still didn't believe He Qiang could do such a thing.

"How about we make a bet?"

"What are we betting on?"

"If He Qiang agrees, you'll help me gather firewood. If He Qiang doesn't agree, I can grant you one request!"

"It's just gathering firewood, right? Okay, I agree!"

Wen Li took out five yuan and a meat coupon and handed them to him.

"Your sister-in-law is probably pregnant. Go buy her some meat to nourish her!"

"Huh? Which sister-in-law?" Er Laizi's mind almost couldn't process it, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"You, you, you're talking about my wife?"

"Hmm, I'm not entirely sure yet. I felt her pulse yesterday, and it seemed like she was pregnant. But there were too many people, so I didn't have a chance to examine her closely. You should take her to Old Man Wu to confirm!"

Wen Li no longer hid the fact that she knew traditional Chinese medicine, but everyone thought she was too young and didn't trust her. She didn't want to cause trouble for herself, so she kept quiet.

After hearing this, Er Laizi disappeared in a flash.

"You don't want the hostage anymore?"

Erlaizi quickly turned around, his face practically splitting into a grin.

"Thanks! I'm going back to see my wife now!"

After everyone had gone, Wen Li strolled leisurely along the country road, enjoying the scenery.

She was in a good mood. She had thought that Jiang Chen would find another powerful backer, but he didn't expect that Jiang Chen would not fall for it.

She was quite satisfied with He Qiang's current fate; death was the only relief for him, and He Qiang's desperate existence was exactly the result Wen Li wanted.

If He Lin falls into Zou Dazhuang's hands again, the entire He family will be ruined. Not to mention Hu Xiaocao, even the old folks in the family will probably be furious!

At that time, the He family would probably only fight to the death, and the Zou family would definitely be doomed.

She can just wait and see what happens.

However, He Lin is a grown man after all, and not as easy to deal with as He Qiang.

We need to come up with a safer approach. If He Qiang is willing to cooperate, it shouldn't be too difficult.

She also wanted to see what choices these two loving brothers would make when faced with a real crisis.
