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

There's no reasoning with a yandere like Shu Yun. Sympathy is one thing, but Shu Yun is going to harm herself anyway, so Wen Li has no intention of letting her go.

Back at the educated youth compound, Wen Li went to the neighboring village.

Fan Yu recently started dating a male educated youth from their village, so he hasn't been coming over to visit Wen Li much.

Wen Li decided to go and take a look since she wasn't at work right now.

She took a detour to the Zou family's courtyard.

Now, all the heads of the Zou family are dead, leaving only the eldest son and his wife to raise their five children.

The two lacked their own opinions and were afraid of Zou's mother and eldest son. They continued to live in the old way and dared not touch the family's money.

Now that Zou Laoda and Zou's mother are dead, the two sisters-in-law have risen from serfdom and are now singing songs of triumph, taking charge of their own lives!

The money Captain Zou left behind was enough for them to live a good life and raise five children.

In just over a month, the two women transformed from timid, shy young wives into more approachable individuals.

Wen Li lingered at the door for a while.

Watching the two sisters-in-law happily taking care of the children, Zou Dazhuang and He Lisheng's daughter was being taken very well in. In just a few months, she had grown up plump and healthy, clearly showing that she had been carefully cared for.

Wen Li, however, looked at the two of them with new respect.

They were almost driven mad by the Zou family's manipulation, so it's a good thing they've come to their senses!

Upon arriving at the educated youth compound, Fan Yu introduced her boyfriend to Wen Li.

The male educated youth was named Zhuang He. He was from the same city as Fan Yu. Both of his parents worked. He was good-looking and somewhat rigid and serious. He had been in the countryside for three years and was the head of the educated youth compound.

Wen Li had met him before; they were both sent-down youths and knew each other's names, but they had never formally met.

Looking at Fan Yu's adorable baby face, Wen Li asked gossipily, "How did you get together with the educated youth from your village?"

Fan Yu's face flushed red instantly. "Ahem, he helped me a lot. Anyway, after we got to know each other, I gradually developed feelings for him!"

Wen Li clicked her tongue in amazement, "Your Zhuang educated youth looks so serious and rigid, it's hard to imagine what he's like when he's pursuing girls!"

Fan Yu said shyly, "I was the one who pursued him first!"

"Huh?" Wen Li's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Fan Yu looked like a well-behaved and cute girl, but she was unexpectedly brave. "Amazing!"

Don't you think I'm shameless?

"Who said that?" Wen Li frowned.

Fan Yu pouted unhappily, "The other female educated youths said I was shameless. Zhuang He has already taught them a lesson, but I still feel bad!"

"Are you stupid?" Wen Li pinched her round face. "What are Zhuang Zhiqing's family's circumstances like?"

Fan Yu thought for a moment. Although it couldn't compare to her own family's, it was already quite good compared to most people. "Not bad!"

"What about their looks and character?"

"He's great. Although he seems a bit rigid, he takes good care of the new educated youth and doesn't bully anyone. He manages the educated youth compound very well. Apart from the occasional bickering, there haven't been any major problems!"

Wen Li shrugged. "Isn't that settled then? Those who say you're shameless are just jealous of you. You're just bravely pursuing true love!"

These days, most girls are reserved, and it's rare to see someone like Fan Yu who pursues boys like that.

"Hehe, I actually think so too, but after they say it so much, I'm starting to lose confidence!"

"Okay, okay, forget what others say, living your own life well is the most important thing!"

"Mmm-hmm!" Fan Yu nodded vigorously. "By the way, during the Spring Festival, Ji Nan came to see me several times. Even though he saw that I was dating Zhuang Zhiqing, he still wouldn't give up!"

Wen Li searched her memory for a long time before she remembered who this person was.

Ji Nan, an educated youth from Qingli Village, is Jiang Chen's lackey.

"He didn't do anything too outrageous, did he?"

"No, he knows my uncle's identity and wouldn't dare go too far!"

"That's good. You need to take good care of yourself too. With your uncle's status, there are plenty of people who want to curry favor with you!"

"Hehe, I know!"

The two chatted for a while, and when Wen Li saw that it was almost time, she left.

As she walked out of the village, she felt someone was watching her. Even after walking a distance, that sticky gaze remained fixed on her.

Wen Li felt a chill run down her spine; this nauseating feeling was nothing like the way Shu Yun looked at her.

As she walked to a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, the footsteps behind her grew closer and closer, and there was more than one person behind her.

She quickly walked to a corner, swiftly pulled a scythe from her spatial storage, and hid behind it.

The two people who followed quickened their pace. After turning the corner, they saw Wen Li standing there motionless, and they were so frightened that they took several steps back.

"Damn it! You bitch, who are you trying to scare!"

Wen Li had seen the man who was cursing before; he was a villager from Qingli Village, a good-for-nothing named Chen Jie. The other one was unfamiliar to Wen Li; she had never seen him before.

"You're following me?"

Chen Jie looked at Wen Li with a nonchalant air, his gaze lingering on her face for a few seconds, filled with amazement and greed.

"Who's following you? Do you own this road? You can walk here, but I can't?"

Zhou Lao Er pretended to walk to the other end unintentionally, and the two of them blocked the way from one in front and one behind.

If Wen Li wanted to run away, she could only jump down from the right side, where there was a three- or four-meter-high embankment. The ground was frozen solid, and if she jumped down, she would get injured if she wasn't careful.

Her hunch was right; these two people were after her.

"Comrade, don't be afraid, we're just passing by!" Zhou Lao Er smiled innocently. "By the way, I don't think I've seen you before. Which village are you from?"

Wen Li looked at Zhou Lao Er warily, pretending not to see Chen Jie's subtle movements. "What are you trying to do?"

Zhou Lao Er noticed Wen Li's wariness, and in order to lower her guard, he smiled and took two steps back.

"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm. Let's get to know each other, just like making friends!"

Wen Li sized up Zhou Lao Er, adopting a thoughtful expression.

Just as she wasn't paying attention, Chen Jie flicked his hand, and white powder was thrown towards Wen Li's face.

Chen Jie and Zhou Lao Er were clearly used to this kind of thing; they quickly covered their mouths and noses to prevent the drug from entering their respiratory tracts.

Wen Li immediately turned her head, smearing the powder all over her face. She held her breath, her vision went black, and she fainted.

Zhou Lao Er quickly caught Wen Li, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Zhou Lao Er: "Tsk~ This is really good stuff!"

Chen Jie swallowed hard, his eyes greedily sweeping over Wen Li's face. "What a pity, I've never slept with such a beautiful woman before!"

"Hey, second brother, what do you think, should we...?"

Chen Jie's unspoken words were obvious, but Zhou Lao Er still had his senses. Between beauty and money, he preferred money. With money, what beauty couldn't he have?

"No, if it gets ruined, we won't be able to sell it for that much money!"
