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

He Qiang rested for two days after returning home, and his health finally improved.

Hu Xiaocao also started arranging marriages for He Qiang, after all, He Qiang was not young anymore.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Yue'er immediately rushed to find He Qiang.

She can't do anything about Wen Li now. Once Wen Li marries He Qiang, it won't be a problem for her to kill her in a minute.

He Qiang's eyes were filled with resentment and unwillingness as he looked at Jiang Yue'er, while Jiang Yue'er continued to talk incessantly about the benefits of marrying Wen Li.

Completely unaware that the infatuation and doting in He Qiang's eyes were long gone.

"Brother Qiang! Brother Qiang? Are you listening to me?"

He Qiang lowered his eyes, not letting Jiang Yue'er see his gaze.

"Wen, the educated youth, is too cunning, and she's been on guard against me for a long time. I can't handle her!"

Jiang Yue'er looked at He Qiang with dissatisfaction. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that He Qiang had changed. Before, no matter what she asked for, He Qiang would agree.

She didn't even need to say anything; He Qiang would find a way to help her solve the problem on his own.

Why didn't you agree this time?

Is it because she got married that He Qiang is resentful?

Jiang Yue'er inwardly scorned He Qiang. Who did he think he was? Did he even dare to covet her?

"Don't you have a lot of friends? Just ask them to think of a solution! I'm doing this for your own good. Your family isn't doing well right now, and you can't work or earn work points. If you marry Wen Li, you'll never have to worry about food or drink for the rest of your life!"

These are the same words again. Last time Jiang Yue'er said these words, he had his hand and ribs broken. Now Jiang Yue'er wants to harm him again.

How come he never noticed how hypocritical Jiang Yue'er was before?

She always claims to be doing it for his own good, but he's the one who always gets hurt, while her hands remain perfectly clean!

Now that he's disabled, Jiang Yue'er only asked him a couple of questions out of the blue, without asking how he got injured. How could he have been so brainless before, thinking that Jiang Yue'er still cared about him?

He Qiang clenched his fists, his mind filled with regret. Jiang Yue'er was still chattering on and on, her seductive words making his head ache as if it were about to explode.

"Shut up!"

Jiang Yue'er's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked at He Qiang in disbelief.

"You...yelled at me?"

He Qiang gradually calmed down, forcing a smile. "Yue'er, I'm sorry. I wasn't feeling well just now, so I lost my temper!"

Jiang Yue'er looked at the fine beads of sweat on He Qiang's forehead and assumed he was genuinely unwell.

"As you can see, I'm completely exhausted, my limbs are useless, and I don't have any money to treat the brothers to drinks. I can't possibly handle Wen Zhiqing. Why don't you help me?"

An impatience flashed in Jiang Yue'er's eyes, and she said with a disappointed expression, "But you know I'm not as smart as you, I don't know what to do either."

He Qiang sneered inwardly, but his face remained impassive. "How could that be? Yue'er is smart and beautiful; she'll definitely come up with a good plan. I've always treated you like my own sister since we were little. You wouldn't bear to see me like this, would you?"

He Qiang was determined to let Jiang Yue'er deal with Wen Li herself, and wait until they were both exhausted before he could fish in troubled waters. He was not going to be used as a pawn by Jiang Yue'er now.

Jiang Yue'er was suddenly put on a pedestal. He Qiang's words were true, but now that the roles had been reversed, why did she feel so awkward?

Aren't these the same lines she used to say to He Qiang?

"I...I'll think about it some more. I don't have any good ideas right now!"

Jiang Yue'er left as soon as she finished speaking. He Qiang sneered. How come he never saw through Jiang Yue'er's little tricks before?

That's incredibly stupid!

Wen Li saw Jiang Yue'er coming out of the He family from afar and sneered inwardly. It seemed that Jiang Yue'er was trying to use He Qiang to deal with her again.

I have no idea what they're planning this time.

Wen Li didn't care too much. He Qiang was a good-for-nothing now, and she wanted to see how he would deal with her.

Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Erlaizi happily handed Wenli a plate of chive and egg dumplings.

"My wife just made these today, take them home and try them!"

Looking at the plump, white dumplings, Wen Li's stomach rumbled. "They smell so good!"

Erlaizi proudly raised his head, "That's right, my wife's cooking skills are absolutely superb!"

"Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, so please don't let her overwork herself. Don't bring me food next time; I'll make my own food!"

"She wanted to thank you for giving her so many eggs. I kneaded all the dough; it wasn't tiring at all!"

"Alright, tell me quickly, how's He Lin doing?"

"He was tied up in the woodshed of the Zou family in place of He Qiang. It was quite pitiful, considering that He Qiang's limbs were still intact. He resisted fiercely, while Zou Dazhuang was as strong as an ox. He Lin was beaten quite badly!"

"Zou Dazhuang is so reckless, won't He Lin get beaten to death?"

"No, Secretary Zou will be watching!"

On second thought, it makes sense. The Zou family has a good reputation in the surrounding villages. If Wen Li hadn't read the original book, she might not have suspected that there was something wrong with his family.

"Has Wang Damei not contacted anyone these past two days?"

Wen Li was puzzled. Logically speaking, Wang Damei should have been worried when He Lin disappeared, but the couple continued to work as usual and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

"Secretary Zou tricked Wang Damei, saying that He Lin had gone to work as an assistant to Boss Zou at a state-run restaurant, and that he would be paid fifteen yuan a month. She was quite happy about it!"

"How come I haven't heard about this?"

Wang Damei has a boastful personality; she would have spread the word about such a good thing long ago.

"They're keeping it a secret! They say Boss Zou injured his hand, and the director wanted to send a relative to fill in. Boss Zou was worried about losing his job, so he risked offending the director by sending He Lin to save his job!"

Wen Li gave him the look of an old man on the subway staring at his phone, "They actually believe that?"

"Believe it, why wouldn't I? If I didn't know what happened to He Lin, I would believe it too!"

"Aren't they afraid that Wang Damei will go to the state-run restaurant to find He Lin?"

"What do you mean? They say He Lin is helping out in the kitchen, he can't possibly go to the main dining area!"

Wen Li understood perfectly; the Zou family had really gone to great lengths for Zou Dazhuang's little quirk!

The He family might not suspect anything if He Lin hasn't been heard from for ten days or half a month, but they might if it goes on for a long time.

"Okay, I'm relieved to know He Lin isn't doing well. I'm going back to eat dumplings now!"

"Okay, remember to get some vinegar. I need to hurry back; my wife must be getting impatient!"

Wen Li: Why does she feel like she smells the sour smell of love on Er Laizi?

As soon as the two separated, Wen Li turned around and saw a person wearing a headscarf walking towards her from afar.

Wen Li didn't immediately recall that there was such a person in the village, but the figure of that person seemed increasingly familiar.

Guo Caixia looked at the dumplings in Wen Li's hand with nothing but mockery in her eyes.

She had always suspected Wen Li of plotting behind her back, and now she had finally caught Wen Li red-handed.
