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

The next few days were peaceful. As October approached, the temperature dropped significantly and the weather grew colder.

Wen Li usually stays in her room reading medical books and eats food stored in her space. She is usually reluctant to move around.

Knowing that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in two years, Wen Li decided to look for the textbooks she needed for the exam.

In the first year after the resumption of the college entrance examination, more than five million people participated. In addition, the college entrance examination was very difficult in the first year. Even though Wen Li had been to university, she was not very confident. She had long forgotten what she knew from high school.

Without hesitation, she went to the bookstore and found a few dusty, yellowed textbooks in a corner.

When she took it to pay, the cashiers all looked at her strangely.

Wen Li pretended not to see it, paid the bill, and left the bookstore.

Then I went to the junkyard and found a few more tattered textbooks, but in the end I still couldn't find them all.

Wen Li was not discouraged; she could look for the rest when she went back to visit her family during the Chinese New Year.

Since she was already there, she searched around the scrap yard again, hoping to find something worthwhile.

After searching for a long time, they found nothing—not even a trace of valuable antique plates, vases, or jewelry.

Sure enough, without the female lead's halo, where would she find so many valuable things?

Finally, she paid her bill and left the scrap yard. On her way back, she ran into Su Hao and Deng Wei.

Both of them had a large package tied to their bicycles, containing cotton-padded clothes and trousers sent from their homes.

"Wen, educated youth, guess what news I heard when I called back?"

Su Hao looked at me with an expression that seemed to be asking me something.

Wen Li, ever the supporter, asked, "What news?"

"Jiang Mingzhu is getting married!"

"Oh? Who did she marry?"

"She's from the same compound as the Jiang family. After she secretly returned from the village, she and that person started having an affair. The Jiang family had no idea about it until the matter came to light, at which point they found out that Jiang Mingzhu had returned to Beijing!"

"What's most outrageous is that, knowing my uncle had an accident, the Jiang family quickly arranged another marriage for Jiang Mingzhu. That man was almost forty years old and had three teenage children. With Jiang Mingzhu causing such a mess, the Jiang family is now caught in the middle!"

After listening, Wen Li felt that Jiang Mingzhu was both clever and foolish.

The clever thing is that no matter how high the status of the person the Jiang family found for him was, he was already almost forty years old, not much younger than her father.

That man has three children who are teenagers. Jiang Mingzhu, a teenage girl, is going to have a very difficult time marrying him.

The one now may not have a high status, but at least the age difference isn't that great.

They also don't need to take care of their stepchildren.

The foolish thing is that her reputation is completely ruined. Even if she marries that guy, will his family treat her well?

But thinking about it carefully, she's just a young girl, and not even a biological daughter of the Jiang family. There might not be a better way to resolve this matter in a short time.

"Jiang Mingzhu must have known about the old man's affair for a long time. She caught the Jiang family completely off guard!"

Deng Wei nodded. "I heard that the Jiang family didn't give Jiang Mingzhu a dowry and spread the word that Jiang Mingzhu is no longer a daughter of the Jiang family!"

Wen Li found it unbelievable, "The Jiang family is that ruthless? Su Hao should know that person, right? His family is very poor?"

Su Hao shook his head. "We know each other, but they live in a tenement building, so we rarely run into each other. We're not close. He's just an ordinary worker right now, and his dad is a deputy battalion commander!"

Wen Li understood. "No wonder the Jiang family looks down on that person!"

"That's not all! The Jiang family was so angry that they almost wrote a letter severing ties with Jiang Mingzhu!"

"They raised her for over ten years, and the Jiang family doesn't give Jiang Mingzhu any face at all!"

"Otherwise what? The Jiang family has always been like this, putting profit above all else. These days, who would still engage in arranged marriages? Only a scheming family like the Jiang family would resort to such tricks!"

Wen Li disagreed with Su Hao's statement. Although people don't openly arrange marriages now, they still consider social status when it comes to their children's marriages.

If Su Hao were to marry a country girl, the Su family probably wouldn't agree.

However, it's true that the Jiang family is scheming; otherwise, they wouldn't have treated Jiang Mingzhu as a tool for a marriage alliance.

Thinking about it this way, Jiang Mingzhu is quite pitiful. No wonder in the original book, the Jiang family would easily give up Jiang Mingzhu, the daughter they had raised for more than ten years, once they had Jiang Yue'er.

Su Hao's dislike for the Jiang family was not without reason; they had initially tried to curry favor with the Lu family, shamelessly hoping to form a marriage alliance with them.

Later, upon learning that Lu Zechuan was not valued, she broke off the engagement and found a more advantageous marriage partner.

Seeing that Lu Zechuan was promising, he eagerly came to greet him again.

Such a family demonstrates how poor their family values ​​are.

"Then Jiang Mingzhu's future looks bleak!"

Deng Wei: "Even if things aren't great, it's still better than marrying someone her father is about the same age. Besides, she has a job and can support herself; at most, she'll have to put up with some mistreatment!"

The three chatted about recent events in Beijing, and finally, Su Hao brought up Lu Aiguo.

"My uncle-in-law isn't having an easy time these days. I heard Lu Zhiyang got into a fight and broke someone's leg. That family isn't ordinary. Just you wait, he'll definitely come after my brother!"

"Your brother isn't in Beijing, so this distant help won't quench your immediate thirst."

"Absolutely! He's completely shameless now, actually daring to ask my dad for money!"

Lu Zechuan once said that Lu Aiguo still had about a thousand yuan in his savings account!

"Huh? He doesn't have any money?"

"No, I heard that all the money he's saved over the years was used by Shen Ju to support her family. He originally planned to give Shen Ju the money to help her out, but guess what?"

"There's only a little over nine hundred yuan in the bankbook! My uncle-in-law is quite good to that wicked woman Shen Ju, only leaving two hundred yuan for the two of them to live on. Now that Lu Zhiyang has gotten into trouble and has to pay a large sum of money, how can two hundred yuan withstand their squandering like this!"

Lu Zechuan hadn't told Wen Li any of these details; she never expected this turn of events.

It seems to be true love.

Shen Ju forced Lu Aiguo to change careers, but in the end, she returned so much money to him, which shows that Lu Aiguo still had good intentions.

He simply didn't care about Lu Zechuan!

Wen Li felt sorry for Lu Zechuan again.

"You're giving up now. Your brother doesn't have much money on him, so he won't get it back!"

How did you know?

"Your brother's bankbooks are all with me, where would he get the money?"

Su Hao looked at Wen Li with a resentful gaze.

Wen Li noticed his gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Su Hao said in a low voice, "No wonder he's been getting increasingly stingy lately, even borrowing money from me to buy things. Turns out he's broke!"

Wen Li covered her mouth and coughed lightly, saying guiltily, "Don't slander me, I did give him living expenses!"

Su Hao was just joking, "Hehe, I was just kidding! In my Su family, all the men hand over their salaries after marriage; it's a tradition!"

"Did he really borrow money from you?"

"No, no, it's just that he didn't have enough money with him last time he went out, so he gave it back to me when he got back!"

"Alright, I'll give him more living expenses next time!"

It was also her fault; Lu Zechuan hadn't asked her for living expenses, so she had forgotten about it.

I wonder if Lu Zechuan still has any money on him.
