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

Back in the village, I saw a group of people gathered together in the distance, arguing about something.

Chen Yan and Li Xiangxiang climbed up the tree and sat on the trunk to watch the show, while Wen Li quickly ran over.

There were too many people, and it was impossible to squeeze in.

"Xiaoli, here!"

When Wen Li saw Aunt Wang and Aunt Qian in the crowd, she immediately squeezed through. Everyone was talking at once, and Wen Li couldn't hear what they were arguing about at all.

I could only see Aunt Zhang in the very center.

Aunt Wang and Aunt Qian each gave Wenli a handful of pumpkin seeds.

"Aunt Wang, tell me quickly, what's all this commotion about?"

"Your Aunt Zhang's son, Weiguo, is back, but before he even entered the village, Jiang Xiaohua pounced on him and they ended up hugging. Now Jiang Xiaohua insists he marry her, or she'll report him for indecent assault!"

Wen Li glanced at Jiang Xiaohua, who was standing timidly behind the village chief, and was surprised that she could do something so earth-shattering.

As Jiang Yue'er's cousin, Jiang Xiaohua and Jiang Yue'er were both girls, and their status at home should have been similar. However, their treatment was completely different.

The entire Jiang family dotes on Jiang Yue'er, including Jiang Xiaohua's older and younger brothers. Jiang Xiaohua is like a contrast to Jiang Yue'er; her parents favored boys over girls, and her older and younger brothers only liked their cousin, Jiang Yue'er.

Jiang Yue'er was treated like royalty, while Jiang Xiaohua was like a wildflower in the field, easily bullied by anyone.

In the book, she is just a minor character who rarely appears. All we know is that she later married a soldier, who was also an admirer of Jiang Yue'er.

After the two got married, Jiang Xiaohua stayed at home to take care of the children and her parents.

Her husband died less than two years after they got married, and Jiang Xiaohua was left to raise her child alone. In any case, the ending wasn't good.

Wen Li had seen Jiang Xiaohua several times. Every day, she not only had to do laundry and cook, but also work to earn work points. She was also the hard-working ox of the second branch of the Jiang family.

He had almost no presence in the village, but he was a hardworking person.

"That's right, your Aunt Zhang had already found a suitable match for Weiguo, but now, before he even arrived in the village, the marriage is off! She's so angry!"

"Why didn't Aunt Zhang mention before that her son was coming back?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Aunt Wang thought for a moment. "Oh! I told Chen, but I forgot to tell you, hahaha!"

"This Jiang Xiaohua seems so honest, I never expected her to do something so foolish!"

Wen Li glanced at Zhang Weiguo, who had a dark face in the crowd. The man was wearing a military uniform, his back was straight, his features were rather rugged, his skin was a bit dark, and his eyes showed that he was an upright person.

Aunt Qian sighed, "I heard that Jiang Jianmin wanted to marry Xiaohua off to someone in the mountains in exchange for a dowry. That's probably why Xiaohua came up with this idea!"

"Has Jiang Jianmin gone mad? He treats his distant niece, Jiang Yue'er, like a treasure while his own daughter is worthless. I really don't know what he's thinking!"

"Sigh...it's hard to say!"

As Wen Li listened to everyone's discussion, and saw that Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wan were arguing more and more fiercely, Zhang Weiguo grabbed Aunt Zhang's arm.

"Mother, I'll marry her!"

"What did you say?"

Aunt Zhang and the two sisters-in-law of the Jiang family didn't get along well to begin with, so of course she didn't want the two families to become related by marriage.

She had no problem with Jiang Xiaohua; in fact, she often felt sorry for her. But she couldn't swallow the thought of having her as her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, I've ruined Xiaohua's reputation, I have to take responsibility. I'll go and file for marriage tomorrow!"

Although Zhang Weiguo still longed for Jiang Yue'er, she was already married, so it didn't matter who she married.

Aunt Zhang was so angry she wanted to beat her unfilial son to death, but she was also worried that if Jiang Xiaohua really reported him, he would be severely punished in the army for his bad conduct. For her son's sake, she had no choice but to swallow her pride and accept it.

Jiang Xiaohua probably didn't expect Zhang Weiguo to actually agree to marry her. She looked up in surprise and stared at Zhang Weiguo in disbelief.

Then she quickly lowered her head, and large tears streamed down her face.

Wen Li didn't miss Jiang Xiaohua's expression. Having been bullied her whole life, she finally knew how to plan for herself.

She didn't approve of this approach, but if you put yourself in her shoes, it's not hard to understand why she did it.

Everyone knows that the bride price is high when marrying into a family in the mountains, but once you marry into that family, you're not just marrying one man, but a whole family of men. In the end, you're reduced to a breeding machine, and that's the most terrifying thing.

The Jiang family was considered well-off in the village, so no one could understand why Jiang Jianmin would do this.

Next, the two families discussed the bride price and the wedding arrangements. The village chief asked Zhang Weiguo to go to his house to discuss the wedding, and then the crowd dispersed.

Regardless of Jiang Xiaohua's reasons, she was still severely criticized, and of course, the second branch of the Jiang family was criticized even more harshly.

Zhang Weiguo was a hot commodity in the village, but Jiang Xiaohua beat him to it. Many people who wanted to marry their daughters to him were furious.

As the crowd dispersed, Wen Li saw Jiang Yue'er's dark face. Indeed, she was angry because her cousin had taken the fish from her pond.

Given Jiang Yue'er's domineering personality, unless she agrees, any marriage they have is a betrayal to her.

Moreover, the person who betrayed her was Jiang Xiaohua, whom she had always looked down upon.

Wen Li glanced at Jiang Yue'er's belly. Although it was only two months along, perhaps because of the triplets, her belly had already shown slight changes.

Perhaps due to pregnancy symptoms, her complexion was a bit sallow, and she also had slight dark circles under her eyes.

Noticing Wen Li's scrutiny, Jiang Yue'er turned her head to look over.

Wen Li returned her a smile.

To Jiang Yue'er, that smile was a blatant challenge.

Jiang Yue'er only looked away after Wen Li had walked far away.

Back at the educated youth compound, it was still early, so Wen Li took out Old Wang's notes and started reading.

It's hot now, so she locked the door and went into her space to read.

Wen Li didn't emerge from the space until Chen Yan and the others returned from work.

"Little Pear, something big happened in the village today! It's a real shame you missed it!"

"I saw you. You and Xiangxiang were in the tree, and I couldn't squeeze in, so I didn't call you!"

"Why can't I see you?"

"There are too many people. You're so busy watching the show, you can't even see me!"

"Haha, you probably don't know how much the Jiang family is asking for in betrothal gifts, do you?"

"Hmm? How much?"

In the village, a bride price of five yuan is considered high. Most people give a little grain or two or three yuan. How much higher can it be?

Chen Yan mysteriously raised one finger.

"Ten yuan?"

"No, no, no, Aunt Wan asked for a hundred yuan, or she'd report Zhang Weiguo for indecent behavior!"

"Hiss~" Wen Li thought Aunt Wan must have gone mad. "What kind of dream is she having?"

"That's right, Aunt Zhang was so angry she almost started a fight!"

Wen Li felt that something was off about the second branch of the Jiang family. You know, Wan Hua usually acts just like Liu Guixiang in public. He loves to put on an act and cares a lot about his image.

Isn't she afraid of being accused of selling her daughter?
