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

"So, according to you, Lu Zechuan was abused as a child, and he should be grateful to Shen Ju?"

Jiang Mingzhu opened and closed her mouth, but she didn't know how to refute it. Why did Wen Li jump to this topic so quickly? Wasn't she talking about Jiang Yue'er?

"Aunt Shen didn't mistreat Brother Lu. He was just being naughty, and she was disciplining him. Sigh! No wonder Aunt Shen always says being a stepmother is tough!"

Wen Li wanted to applaud her; this person was really stubborn!

"You really are... Well then, I wish your future children will also find such a good stepmother!"

In the original book, Jiang Mingzhu's true identity wasn't revealed so quickly. She successfully married her former fiancé, but later divorced him and was sent back to the village. It's unknown whether she had any children.

Wen Li felt that someone like Jiang Mingzhu, who had never empathized with or personally experienced that kind of pain, could never be expected to understand others.

"you……"

Wen Li raised her hand to interrupt her, "Alright, I don't want to waste my breath on you. My attitude is the same as Lu Zechuan's. If you keep nagging me, I'll report you for disrupting a military marriage!"

"Village chief, Aunt Liu, what do you say?"

Wen Li walked past Jiang Mingzhu and looked at the Jiang family members standing not far away.

Wen Li just said those things on purpose, trying to get Jiang Mingzhu to say those hurtful things.

Now things are much better. The village chief and Jiang Laosan didn't believe what Jiang Laoer said before, but now they believe it completely.

Apart from Liu Guixiang, everyone else in the Jiang family wanted to make up for the lack of family affection they had experienced over the years regarding their lost and found biological daughter.

Jiang Mingzhu's words, "The kindness of raising is worse than the kindness of giving birth," hurt their hearts.

Although it is true, it is very hurtful to hear it coming from Jiang Mingzhu's mouth!

Moreover, the disdain in Jiang Mingzhu's tone made them realize that Jiang Mingzhu's return was not because she genuinely wanted to acknowledge them, but because she had ulterior motives!

These past two days she's just pretending to be close to them, and her goal is simple: to sow discord between them and Jiang Yue'er.

The village chief and the others weren't unaware of Jiang Mingzhu's little tricks; they just felt indebted to her, so they automatically overlooked those minor details.

Thinking about it now, it was really stupid!

Jiang Mingzhu turned around abruptly and saw that, apart from Jiang Yue'er, the whole family was there, all looking at her with disappointed eyes.

I don't know why, even though I have no feelings for them, a strange sense of panic still welled up inside me.

"Mom and Dad, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant, I..."

The village chief's back hunched slightly. "Alright, let's talk about it when we get home!"

Watching the village chief's departing figure, Jiang Mingzhu could only look to Jiang Laosan for help. Jiang Laosan showed no expression and turned to leave.

"Comrade Jiang, wait a minute!"

Jiang Laosan looked at Wen Li, "Wen Zhiqing, is there anything else?"

"Yes, can we talk privately?"

Jiang Laosan gestured to Jiang Laoer to take Jiang Mingzhu home first, and then walked towards Wen Li.

"What is it?"

"Do you have any processed ginseng? I'd like to buy one!"

The ginseng in Wen Li's space was all unprocessed. Aunt Qiao's health was already poor, and she was worried that it would affect the efficacy of the medicine, so she dared not give it to her directly.

The thousand-year-old ginseng was too potent, and Wen Li was worried that her body was too weak to handle it, so it would be best to find Jiang Laosan instead.

Jiang Laosan hesitated, thinking about the irreconcilable conflict between Wen Li and Jiang Yue'er.

"Yes, it exists, but..."

"Grievances are grudges, business is business!"

Wen Li didn't dislike Jiang Laosan. Although he doted on Jiang Yue'er, he would never let her harm others. One thing at a time!

"Okay, how many years do you need? When do you need it?"

"The higher the better! Immediately!"

"I have a 30-year-old plant here, but the roots were badly damaged when I dug it up. Do you want it?"

"How much?"

"Give me twenty yuan!"

"Okay, I'll go get it with you now!"

Old Jiang chuckled sheepishly and said, "Let me bring it to you!"

Wen Li stopped in her tracks. It was indeed not appropriate for her to go to the village chief's house now. If Jiang Yue'er found out, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause!

"Okay, I'll wait for you here!"

After waiting for about ten minutes, Jiang Laosan returned with the prepared ginseng.

Wen Li took out two ten-yuan bills from her purse. Jiang Laosan took the money, then looked at her with a hint of hesitation.

"What are you trying to say?"

"We're sorry, we really don't know anything about the connection between Mingzhu and Comrade Lu!"

Wen Li waved her hand, "No need, I don't like taking my anger out on others!"

Jiang Laosan knew that Wen Li was telling the truth; otherwise, given what Jiang Yue'er had done, his family would definitely have been implicated.

"Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen seem to be plotting something lately, you... should be careful!"

Wen Li raised an eyebrow; she hadn't expected Jiang Laosan to tell her all this.

That's his younger sister whom he's doted on since childhood. Given his public image, shouldn't he unconditionally protect Jiang Yue'er?

Has Jiang Yue'er's protagonist aura weakened?

Thinking of his tragic end, Wen Li decided to test him.

"You should be able to tell that Jiang Yue'er isn't someone who appreciates gratitude or cares about family ties. If possible, you'd better stay away from her!"

Wen Li was prepared for Jiang Laosan to lose his temper, but he just remained silent, his eyes unfathomable, and she didn't know what he was thinking.

After a few seconds of silence, he solemnly said, "Thank you, I understand!"

Wen Li was amused. The sister-obsessed girl wasn't angry at all?

It seems that Jiang Yue'er's protagonist aura has really weakened!

Wen Li waved her hand and turned to leave.

As Jiang Laosan watched Wen Li's departing figure, a complex and bittersweet emotion welled up in his heart.

He had long seen through Jiang Yue'er's true nature, but he always thought that Jiang Yue'er was still young. However, after experiencing so much, he could no longer deceive himself.

He now only hopes that Jiang Yue'er will behave herself. Once she returns to Beijing, he won't have to live in such fear that she might do something immoral and harm her family again.

Jiang Yue'er may have been aware of the changes in her family towards her, so she would avoid doing anything with their knowledge.

She'll get into trouble sooner or later!

So she secretly made a decision in her heart that after seeing Jiang Mingzhu off, she would kick Jiang Chen and Jiang Yue'er out to live.

Guo Caixia's house is still empty. After cleaning it and adding some furniture, she can move in.

From now on, they would each live their own lives, and he didn't want to clean up Jiang Yue'er's messes anymore.

Village Chief's House

Jiang Mingzhu cried continuously after being taken back. The village chief was reluctant to let her go, but Wen Li had already made her promise, and he knew that Wen Li was a woman of her word.

If Jiang Mingzhu isn't sent away soon, and the police are notified, her reputation will be completely ruined.

Although Jiang Mingzhu's words were hurtful, she is still his own daughter, and he should still consider her feelings.

The best course of action is to get rid of Jiang Mingzhu while everyone is still unaware.

Jiang Yue'er looked at the sobbing Jiang Mingzhu with a gloating expression on her face.

She never expected that her purpose in returning to visit her family was to compete with Wen Li for a man. How interesting!
