1970s: Transmigrated into a cannon fodder female supporting character in a lucky koi novel!
Chapter 54: Are the male and female leads getting married?
In the original book, the male and female protagonists were supposed to get married next year, but the plot has unexpectedly moved up so much.
Wen Li didn't want to see the male and female leads get together so easily. Didn't the female lead think He Qiang was a good man? Such a kind girl should be with a good man to be perfect!
That day, the village was filled with news of Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Zhiqing kissing.
There was no news from the Jiang family that the two were getting married, and Jiang Chen didn't return until evening with a gloomy face.
Rumors circulated in the village again that the two had decided to get married, but neither of them had reached the legal marriage age. The village chief's family planned to hold a banquet next month, and they would wait until Jiang Chen turned twenty to register their marriage.
The people at the educated youth compound were just talking about this when they saw Jiang Chen return. They all surrounded him to congratulate him on becoming the village chief's son-in-law.
Jiang Chen's face darkened further. Although he liked Jiang Yue'er, he wasn't ready to marry her yet. Besides, he had many things to do. His grandfather was still struggling on the farm, and his parents were waiting for him to rescue them.
Thinking about this made him feel even worse.
Of course, Guo Caixia and Yu Shuang were also in a bad mood. Guo Caixia cursed Jiang Yue'er in her heart for being indecent. The two were about to get married, which caught her off guard. All her plans seemed like a joke.
After being warned by Su Hao, Yu Shuang became much more obedient, but her relationship with Guo Caixia became more complicated. The two were initially very close, but now that they were rivals, their relationship naturally deteriorated.
Wen Li was watching the show when she noticed Jiang Chen staring at her with icy eyes, a hint of murderous intent in them.
Wen Li didn't know where his killing intent came from, but she wasn't worried at all.
The original owner's parents are still alive, and Jiang Chen hasn't grown up yet. He's like a toothless tiger right now; he doesn't have the ability to deal with her.
As for those underhanded methods, Wen Li was confident she could handle them.
"Little Pear, is there something wrong with this guy? He's the one who's not being proper, so why is he glaring at you?"
"Hmm...maybe he's cross-eyed!"
Wen Li spoke quite loudly, and Su Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Chen's face was ashen, his hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on his temples were bulging. He looked at the people around him with a fierce gaze, and his heart was filled with surging anger. He would deal with these people who had ridiculed him sooner or later!
"No, I didn't offend him, did I?" Deng Wei was bewildered by his glare.
Su Hao stopped laughing with a jolt. "Uh... could this be the legendary displaced anger?"
"This is utterly baffling!" Deng Wei was speechless.
Seeing that there was no more interesting show to watch, everyone went back to their rooms.
Wen Li waited until 10 p.m., then quietly left the educated youth compound and rode her bicycle to the commune.
Once she reached the grove, she checked around to make sure no one was nearby before laying out the oilcloth and putting away the rice and flour.
At eleven o'clock, Gu Huai and his men appeared in the grove on time.
They originally wanted to inspect the goods, but with mountains of rice and flour piled on the ground, there was no need to inspect them at all.
Gu Huai's brow twitched. "Comrade Zhang... could you please put it in a cloth bag next time? It's so hard for us to weigh it like this!"
Wen Li was a little embarrassed. "Hehe, I didn't have that many cloth bags. It was my oversight. Next time, please prepare some cloth bags for me so you won't have to go through so much trouble!"
Gu Huai pinched the bridge of his nose and waved to the people behind him.
A group of people started bagging the items, and it took more than a dozen people almost an hour to pack and weigh all the items.
"Boss, there are 2,133 catties of rice and 2,050 catties of flour!"
Looking at the group of people sweating profusely, Wen Li felt a little guilty. "Let's all be charged two thousand catties. The extra can be considered as compensation for everyone's hard work!"
"No need, I'll naturally subsidize their hard work. It's expensive; let's calculate the price!"
Fei Qian immediately took out his abacus and started calculating.
"Rice: 746.55 yuan; flour: 922.5 yuan; total: 1699.5 yuan!"
Wen Li did the math in her head and realized that was the price.
"I've prepared two hundred dollars in general receipts for you. Add the medicine you requested, rounded down, and I'll give you one thousand four hundred and sixty dollars. Count it!"
Wen Li took the money and counted it to make sure the amount was correct. Then she looked at the two bottles Gu Huai had given her. Just as she was about to open them, Gu Huai stopped her.
"I gave you the strongest medicine, so be careful when you use it. Even a little bit can easily cause an infection."
Wen Li quickly put away the two medicine bottles. "Okay, thanks!"
"When will the next transaction take place?" Gu Huai asked Wen Li.
Wen Li has taken out almost everything from her space this time; the rice will be ready in a week.
"Next week, still two thousand catties each!"
"Okay, here it is?"
Wen Li glanced around. Although the grove was an easier place to escape, it also made her easier to be spotted.
"Or you could find a suitable yard where I can put my things?"
Gu Huai does own a courtyard, but the locations are not secluded enough.
"I'll make the arrangements when I get back. Let's do the transaction here next week! I'll give you the address then."
"No problem, if you don't have enough money, you can exchange it for goldfish or jade antiques!"
"Are you sure?" These things can't be taken out right now, so Wen Li wanting them was a bit unexpected for him.
Wen Li nodded, "I'm sure!"
Just kidding! You have to make money, and you also have to collect antiques and jade. These things can't be used now, but in the future, they will be things that ordinary people can't afford.
"Okay, I'll get it ready for you!"
After agreeing on the time for the next transaction, Wen Li handed the vegetables from her basket to Gu Huai.
"A small token of my appreciation, please take it home and try it!"
Gu Huai didn't think Wen Li would give him something for no reason. After Wen Li left, he picked up a cucumber and tasted it.
When Gu Huai tasted the cucumber, his smile deepened.
"It's too expensive, let's take it home and cook it!"
"Huh?" Fei Qian couldn't understand his boss's thought process for a moment. What was wrong with him in the middle of the night?
After putting away the money, Wen Li left the grove. Only after making sure no one was following her did she ride her bicycle back to the village.
She had been suffering from severe sleep deprivation for the past two days, and fell asleep as soon as she got back to her room.
This caused Wen Li to be unable to get out of bed. When Chen Yan came to wake her, she asked Chen Yan to help her ask for leave.
When she woke up again, it was almost noon.
She happened to have some time today, so she took out a wild rabbit. The rabbit had been kept in her space for two days and had gotten much fatter.
She was already thinking about how to cook it when she bought it, but looking at the lively wild rabbit, she really had no idea what to do!
"Wen, you're so lucky today, you actually caught a wild rabbit?"
Zhou Yu entered through the back door and saw Wen Li looking at the wild rabbit on the ground with a troubled expression.
"Hehe, I traded with someone!" Wen Li looked up and saw Zhou Yu. "Zhou Zhiqing, do you know how to handle a wild rabbit?"
Zhou Yu knew Wen Li wouldn't know how, "Wait a minute, I'll come help you after I've put the firewood away!"
