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

Jiang Chen's gaze towards Jiang Yue'er changed instantly.

During this period of time, he had inquired about the old woman's neighbors intentionally or unintentionally, and all he knew was that her adopted sons and daughters were very successful.

But no one ever mentioned the thank-you letter.

So... how did Jiang Yue'er know?

Does anyone else know?

"Moon, the thank-you note is for that old woman. What if something happens if we take it?"

Jiang Yue'er didn't notice Jiang Chen's probing.

"No, only the old woman knows about this. Once she dies, the thank-you letter will be ours!"

"But..." Jiang Chen feigned hesitation, "This matter is of great importance. Won't the higher-ups come down to investigate?"

Jiang Yue'er planned to continue following the original storyline, since she was the female lead and no one would doubt her.

"I'll just say that the old lady has already recognized me as her goddaughter. Besides, we visit her often, which is something everyone can see. Only we know the real story, right?"

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered. It seemed that he couldn't make a move on Jiang Yue'er until he could make the letter of introduction work.

He had to admit that although Jiang Yue'er failed every time she tried to scheme against Wen Li, the things that happened to her were indeed strange. Since she had such confidence, he would let her stay for the time being!

Jiang Yue'er was unaware that she had escaped a calamity because of this.

The thought of the thank-you letter and medal instantly dispelled the gloom in Jiang Chen's heart.

As long as you take the letter of thanks and the medal to Beijing, he will have a way to rescue your family.

"Moon, you are truly my lucky star, thank you!"

Jiang Yue'er leaned happily against Jiang Chen's chest, "Ah Chen, we're husband and wife. Helping you is helping myself too!"

What followed was a series of sweet nothings and expressions of longing for the future between the two.

Wen Li was about to throw up from listening to it. Although Jiang Chen's tone was gentle, it was obviously insincere.

Even though Jiang Yue'er was immersed in this false happiness, didn't she still distrust Jiang Chen?

This couple is really interesting!

Unable to hear any useful information, Wen Li quietly left the guesthouse and went to Zhao Xiaomai's house.

Today, Zhao Xiaomai's older brother, Zhao Gu, was off work. When he saw Wen Li coming over, he awkwardly welcomed her into the house.

"Wen, what brings you here?"

When Zhao Xiaomai saw Wen Li coming over, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Wen Li was in a hurry, so she exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhao Xiaomai and inquired about Grandma Su's health before getting down to business.

"Xiaomai, I've come to talk to you about something!"

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Wen Li's serious expression, Zhao Xiaomai subconsciously scratched her palm with her fingernails.

Wen Li noticed her nervousness, took her hand, and then gently held it in hers.

"Don't be nervous, it's about Grandma Su. I just want you to pass on a message to her for me!"

Upon hearing that it was about Grandma Su, Zhao Xiaomai's tense back instantly relaxed.

"What are you saying?"

"I overheard Jiang Yue'er planning to steal a letter and a medal from Grandma Su's house tonight. Could you please pass on this message to her?"

Zhao Xiaomai was shocked that Jiang Yue'er would dare to steal from her home; anger replaced fear.

"Wen, Grandma Su really likes the honey you gave her. She's told me several times that she wants to meet you. Why don't you come with me?"

The reason Wen Li didn't show up was that she didn't want to disturb the old lady's peaceful life.

Since the old lady wanted to see her, Wen Li didn't refuse.

"good!"

Zhao Xiaomai gave a genuine smile. "Let's go!"

The two houses are close to each other, less than a five-minute walk apart.

Zhao Xiaomai knocked on the door, and after a short while, someone came to open it.

It wasn't the old lady who opened the door, but the neighbor who was taking care of her.

"The wheat is here!"

"Third Aunt!"

Zhao Xiaomai speaks very softly, and everyone is used to it.

"Your Grandma Su just woke up. I'm going home anyway, so please come in!"

"Um!"

After the neighbor aunt left, Zhao Xiaomai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go in!"

Wen Li smiled and nodded, "Mm!"

Wen Li looked around the small courtyard. It was covered with a layer of snow. The courtyard was nothing special, just like most people's homes.

The backyard was a vegetable garden, and the front yard was kept very clean, with firewood neatly arranged. The old lady didn't have many things, so she built a gazebo in the front yard that was suitable for cooling off in the summer.

Before they knew it, the two had entered the house.

Wen Li glanced over and saw the old lady sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), mending a garment with a needle and thread.

However, she is old, her eyesight is not good, and her movements are rather slow.

"Grandma Su, why did you start the needles yourself?"

Zhao Xiaomai's demeanor when facing the old lady was completely different from that of others.

The old lady looked up and saw Zhao Xiaomai. "Xiaomai, what brings you here?"

"This is?"

Wen Li stepped forward with a smile, "Hello, ma'am, my name is Wen Li, and I'm Xiaomai's friend!"

The old lady smiled kindly and beckoned Wen Li to sit down. "You must be the educated youth Wen that Xiaomai and Xiangxiang were talking about?"

Wen Li sat down next to the old lady, her smile open and honest. "Yes, it's me!"

The old lady carefully examined Wen Li; her gaze was calm and did not seem offensive.

"Great, she's a cheerful and pretty girl!"

"I apologize for disturbing you, ma'am. I hope you don't mind!"

The old lady smiled and took Wen Li's hand. "I'm old now, and I often enjoy watching young girls like you. Seeing you makes me feel younger!"

"You're still very young!"

Although she knew Wen Li was just trying to coax her, the old lady still knew to stick to the facts.

"Hahaha, you just know how to flatter this old woman!"

After chatting with the old lady for a while, Wen Li realized that the old lady was not as eccentric and unapproachable as described in the original book.

On the contrary, the old lady was very talkative and told Wen Li about her youth, which Wen Li listened to with great interest.

Almost an hour had passed before the old lady finally told Zhao Xiaomai to go back first, as she had something to discuss with Wen Li.

Zhao Xiaomai obediently nodded: "Wen Zhiqing, I'll go back now!"

"Okay, I'll come find you again in a bit!"

After Zhao Xiaomai left, the old lady said, "Child, you came here today because you need something from this old woman, right?"

Wen Li nodded and told the old lady what she knew.

The old lady's expression changed immediately after hearing this.

Few people wrote thank-you letters; almost all of the few who knew about it back then have already sacrificed their lives.

How did Jiang Yue'er find out about something that even her adopted children didn't know?

Also, Wen Li probably didn't know this from Jiang Yue'er!

Seeing that the old lady was lost in thought, Wen Li took the opportunity to check her pulse. The old lady's health was indeed not very good.

Even with the spiritual spring water, she should only last until the New Year at most.

"I know what you mean. Don't worry, I'll be careful!"

The old lady's kind face was gone, and her gaze towards Wen Li became much more complicated.

Wen Li quietly withdrew her hand. The old lady had been through so much, she should have realized that her purpose in coming to visit was not pure, which was why her attitude changed.

"Sorry to bother you, take care!"
