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

Do you think Yang Ping is a good match?

"It depends on your perspective. Yang Ping eats government-subsidized grain, and Xiangxiang is sincere, kind-hearted, and very capable, but she is ultimately a country girl. For her to marry into the city is actually a good match!"

Wen Li seemed to be deep in thought. She was looking at this matter from God's perspective and knew that Yang Ping was a scumbag. In addition, she was not from this era, so her perspective on many things was indeed different from that of people from this era.

Chen Yan is right. Perhaps for the brigade leader's family, Yang Ping's conditions might actually be a good match.

After all, who would want to suffer in the countryside when they can marry into a city and have a government-subsidized job?

Seeing Wen Li's expression change repeatedly, Chen Yan patted her on the shoulder, "Don't overthink it. The brigade leader dotes on Xiangxiang; he probably won't let her marry someone like that!"

Wen Li nodded. She had already given the necessary reminders. If Li Xiangxiang knew that Yang Ping liked Jiang Yue'er but still wanted to marry him, she wouldn't say anything more.

Wen Li thought the matter was over, but the next day, the captain found her.

The captain looked at Wen Li hesitantly, opening and closing his mouth repeatedly, but for a moment he really didn't know what to say.

Wen Li smiled as she looked at the captain. After all, he was usually quite serious, so it was rare to see him looking so troubled.

"Captain, please just say what you need to say!"

The captain looked somewhat embarrassed. He didn't want to come looking for Wen Li, but his wife thought Wen Li had ill intentions and wanted to ruin Li Xiangxiang's good marriage. If he didn't come and waited for his wife, she would say some harsh things, which might hurt the friendship between the young girls.

"Wen, please don't mind me. I'm here to ask you again: what you told Xiangxiang, did you actually see it with your own eyes?"

Wen Li nodded. "Captain, you know Xiangxiang and I are close. I genuinely hope she can marry well!"

"Wen, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but I consider myself a good judge of character. I've met Yang Ping, and that young man is a good person. That's why I thought I'd ask you about him. Please don't mind!"

"It's alright. After all, this is Xiangxiang's life-changing event, and parents would never want to harm their daughter. However, you should also know Comrade Jiang's character, so it's best to investigate thoroughly!"

He knew Jiang Yue'er's character well. There were many young men in the village who liked her, and they were all in their mid-twenties and still unmarried, just waiting for her, which made their village's bachelor rate much higher than other villages.

Although this cannot be blamed on Jiang Yue'er, it is normal for one or two people to be like this, but for more than a dozen to be like this, it looks very strange.

Besides, Wen Li's tone was sincere, so he didn't think Wen Li would be jealous of Li Xiangxiang. He was a veteran, and although he was just a common soldier back then, he knew about Wen Li's family situation.

If it weren't for the rural outreach policy, ordinary people wouldn't even be able to get in touch with someone like Wen Li, given her family background.

"Okay, I understand. I'll look into it, but thank you anyway!"

"No need, I'm glad you haven't misunderstood!"

The captain awkwardly looked away. He had no misunderstanding. His wife was stubborn and always felt that Wen Li couldn't stand seeing Li Xiangxiang doing well, so he came to talk to Wen Li early this morning.

He and his daughter had to talk to her for a long time before they finally persuaded his wife to stop; otherwise, they probably wouldn't even be able to remain friends.

Chen Yan walked forward after the captain left.

"Is it still about what you said yesterday?"

Wen Li nodded helplessly, "Yes!"

"Don't think about it anymore. The fact that the captain came to ask you means they still trust you a lot!"

"Let's hope so!"

In the following days, Wen Li did not see Li Xiangxiang, presumably because Yang Ping had not yet found out anything.

With the sudden change in temperature, Wenli no longer offers watermelons when she goes to the public store to resell her produce.

The fruits in the space gradually ripened. Wen Li only took out pears and grapes for the time being, leaving the apples and oranges for later, since it wasn't the season for these fruits to ripen yet. They could be taken out in a while.

After several recent transactions, Wen Li's previously empty wallet has become bulging again. She calculated that her savings have reached 3,625.6 yuan.

She put the three thousand six hundred in a separate container, and kept the rest for her own use.

After several transactions, Wen Li became familiar with Gu Huai. Since Gu Huai had already seen through her scheme, Wen Li stopped wearing makeup when she went to the black market recently, but she still wrapped her face in cloth.

Although they didn't know what she looked like, the third brother and the others couldn't bring themselves to call her "Auntie," so they simply called her Comrade Zhang.

"The weather's gotten cooler lately, and there's a shortage of grains and vegetables. Could you provide more each week?"

"We can provide another 500 jin of vegetables, but for now, we can only provide about 2,000 jin of grain!"

Does Wen Li not want to make money?

Of course not. Recently, she has noticed that more people are watching her when she comes to the black market. She doesn't have the protagonist's halo. If someone finds out about her, she will be in big trouble. So it's better not to be too conspicuous.

Gu Huai didn't insist. "Alright, let's keep everything the same!"

"There are more and more people watching us lately. Should we find a different place to trade next time?"

"I've found three new courtyards. I'll give you the keys and addresses. Just go to whichever courtyard you want and leave a broom at the entrance. My people will see it and then bring them to pick up the goods!"

Wen Li was impressed after hearing this. No wonder he could run a black market business; he had even considered such a thing.

"Alright, let's reschedule the transaction!"

"This time it's Friday, next time it'll be Saturday, and so on, until the weekend!"

"Okay, no problem. There are a lot of people watching lately, you won't get arrested, will you?"

Wen Li was genuinely worried that Gu Huai would be caught, because it wouldn't be easy to find a reliable business partner like him again.

Gu Huai's lips twitched, and the teacup in his hand trembled slightly. "Hahaha, I didn't expect Comrade Zhang to be so worried about me?"

Wen Li rolled her eyes. "If you get arrested, I'll have to find a new business partner. And if I run into someone with bad intentions, it'll be quite troublesome!"

"Don't worry, I have some connections, I won't get caught so easily. And even if I do, it won't implicate you!"

"That's good. It's getting late, I have to go back!"

"Two pigs came today, and I saved five catties of pork belly for you to take home and eat!"

"Okay, by the way, from now on, just keep track of my transactions, and I'll come back to collect the money at the end of each month!"

Gu Huai joked, "You trust me that much? Aren't you afraid I'll run away?"

"My things aren't so easy to take!"

After Wen Li finished speaking, she gently bent her fingers and easily crushed the teacup in her hand.

Seeing the shattered teacup, Gu Huai was heartbroken. "Grandma, this is a Ming Dynasty Ru ware teacup!"
