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

Wen Li shared some of the things she brought with Xie Chang'an, saying, "These are local specialties from my hometown. Give them to your aunts and the others to try!"

Xie Chang'an didn't stand on ceremony, "Okay, thank you!"

Wen Li went to the black market the next day.

When I went to Gu Huai's courtyard, he wasn't home. I asked Scarface and found out that he had gone home to visit his family and wouldn't be back for a few more days.

With Gu Huai absent, Scarface is in charge of the black market.

Scarface knew that Wen Li wouldn't come to the temple without a reason, so he invited her in and poured her a cup of hot water.

"I heard there was a riot on the farm, do you know what happened?"

Gu Huai knew that Wen Li was paying attention to what was happening there, so he instructed Scarface to keep an eye on the farm.

"A farm foreman harassed a girl, and her family, wanting justice for her, gathered a group of other families he had also harassed to cause trouble!"

Wen Li's face darkened. Such things were actually quite common. Families sent down to farms often struggled to even have enough to eat.

It's almost a pipe dream for a little girl on a farm to want to keep her chastity.

The original owner suffered humiliation on the farm for more than just a day or two, but no one stepped forward to stop or help him, and in the end, he committed suicide by self-immolation in despair.

Even if the girl's family avenges her, their fate won't be good.

"How could Boss Zou be dead?"

"He started currying favor with the squad leader as soon as he arrived at the farm, and now he's been dragged into this mess. He deserves to die!"

Scarface doesn't consider himself a good person, but he hates scum who bully women the most. Such people deserve to die!

"How did the commune handle it?"

"The matter escalated quite a bit. After the commune sent people to investigate, they confirmed the squad leader's guilt. He was arrested by the police and was supposed to be executed. The person who killed him was an old man in his sixties. The higher-ups had no choice but to let him continue his 're-education' at the farm!"

Wen Li laughed. How could a man in his seventies possibly kill a strong man like Boss Zou?

"Those people are clever; they knew to make the old man take the blame!"

Anyone with eyes could see that the old man couldn't be the murderer, but they were united, and the old man insisted that he was the one who killed him, so the higher-ups couldn't do anything about it.

Scarface sighed, "The people on the farm have actually benefited from this misfortune. That squad leader, relying on his connections, had always beaten and verbally abused the sent-down personnel, treating them like livestock. Now that someone has died, he's been arrested, and the replacement squad leader is actually quite good; at least their lives will be a little better!"

The people on the farm have no human rights, but if someone dies, the authorities have to intervene.

Moreover, there was pressure from people in the county about this matter, and even if that squad leader had connections at higher levels, he couldn't protect him.

After confirming that Boss Zou was dead, Wen Li left the black market.

She ate at a state-run restaurant, packed a few dishes to store in her storage space, and only then went to see Li Xiangxiang.

When they arrived at the Zhong family home, Li Xiangxiang and Zhong Jun had just returned from get off work, and the family of three was still having dinner.

"Little Pear, you're back from visiting relatives?"

Zhong Jun put down his chopsticks and stood up to call to Wen Li, "Wen, educated youth, come and eat! Mom, go cook another dish!"

Wen Li quickly waved her hand, "No need, Auntie, I've already eaten. I just came to deliver something to Xiangxiang!"

Aunt Zhong poured Wen Li a glass of sugar water, saying, "Don't be shy with us, child!"

Li Xiangxiang: "You really ate it?"

"Thank you, Auntie, but I really have already eaten. How could I possibly be so polite?"

"Alright, you sit down first, I'll finish in a couple more bites!"

"No rush, take your time eating!"

After Li Xiangxiang finished eating, Wen Li took out the food.

"These are some snacks I brought you. Try them. Also, I visited Chen Yan on my way back. She's doing well and asked me to give her my regards!"

Li Xiangxiang accepted the gifts, "Hehe, then I won't be polite!"

"I received a letter from Chen Yan a few days ago; she even said she missed us!"

The two chatted for a while, but Li Xiangxiang had to go to work in the afternoon, so Wen Li said goodbye and left.

Back in the village, she delivered some snacks to Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang. When she went back before the New Year, they both gave Wenli several pounds of chestnuts and dried mushrooms.

After delivering the items, she went to Erlaizi's house. Xue Hong had already given birth to a baby girl. After being "brainwashed" by Wen Li, Erlaizi no longer had such a strong preference for sons over daughters.

She holds her child happily every day, reluctant to let go.

Xue Hong was still in her postpartum confinement period when Wen Li gave her several pounds of eggs and brown sugar, as well as an old hen.

When Xue Hong saw that Wen Li had brought so many things, she was so grateful that she didn't know what to say.

"Wen, you've given us so many things, we don't know how to repay you!"

"Sister-in-law, Brother Dapeng has helped me a lot. This is nothing. You should take good care of yourself during your postpartum period and make sure you recover well!"

"Alright! Dapeng, bring the child over here so Wen Zhiqing can see him!"

Erlaizi had just changed the baby's diaper and brought the baby to Wenli. Wenli looked at the tiny bundle and didn't dare to reach out and hold the baby.

The child was tiny, with features resembling Xue Hong, and a round face that made him look very endearing. When he saw Wen Li, he even flashed a toothless smile!

"You're smiling, Wen Zhiqing. It seems my daughter really likes you!"

Wen Li curiously reached out and gently tapped the child's little face. "So cute! What's the baby's name?"

Erlaizi scratched his head sheepishly, "Hehe, we haven't named it yet!"

"Neither of us has ever been to school, and all the kids in the village are called 'Da Ya,' 'Er Ya,' or 'Niu Niu,' which doesn't sound nice. We'd like to ask you to help us come up with some names!"

Wen Li looked at Xue Hong, and Xue Hong looked at Wen Li with anticipation.

"I'm thinking of naming my child An'an, hoping she'll grow up safe and sound!"

"In that case, let's name him Sui'an. We hope your baby will be safe and sound every year, which is also your most heartfelt wish as parents!"

Xue Hong murmured the name to herself for a moment, then smiled gently, "Sui'an, it sounds nice, baby. From now on, you'll be called Liu Sui'an, do you like it?"

"Ahhh~"

As if she understood, Xiao An'an responded with "ah ah," making everyone laugh.

After seeing the child, Wen Li and Er Laizi walked out of the house together.

Has Jiang Chen been giving you any trouble lately?

"No, I've been staying home with your sister-in-law the whole time, I haven't gone out at all. He can't find me to cause trouble!"

"That's good. Take good care of your sister-in-law. I'll head back now!"

"Okay, come over for the full moon celebration!"

After leaving Erlaizi's house, Wen Li deliberately took a detour, pretending to pass by Jiang Yue'er's house.

Before she even got close, Wen Li could hear the children's mournful cries. However, the children were already premature, and even though they were more than two months old, they were still weak.

The crying sounded like a cat meowing, sending chills down one's spine.

In the courtyard, Liu Guixiang was washing diapers for several children. She looked much worse than before.
