Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Ji Chaoxi got up early the next day.

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Qin Du repairing a hoe at the door, and she was so frightened that she immediately ran back inside.

Ji Zhuxin glanced at her inexplicably, and as soon as she stepped out the door and saw Qin Du, she said irritably, "You're already getting bad luck first thing in the morning."

"Qin family brat, living next to your family is the worst luck we've ever had. Ever since you moved here, my sister and I haven't had any good fortune."

She sat on the stone stool by the door, her face full of impatience: "Your family's social status is like this, and you still don't try to please the villagers? Do you still think you're that young master you used to be?"

A passing villager stopped and made a few sarcastic remarks: "They're so arrogant. People who have been to school are just different."

Ji Zhuxin rolled her eyes: "Studying, studying, what good is studying? You still end up like this even after studying."

In Xinniu Village, everyone could make sarcastic remarks about Qin Du. They were an orphan and a widow, so what could they do even if they were insulted? Who would stand up for them?

Ji Zhuxin glanced at Ji Chaoxi sitting in the room and warned, "Stay away from him from now on, you know? He has a bad family background."

Ji Chaoxi nodded honestly.

Qin Du remained calm, as if he wasn't the center of attention. He repaired the hoe and went into the house.

Qin's mother lay on the bed, her eyes red as she looked at him: "My son, it's all your father's and mother's fault. I'm so sorry."

Qin Du sighed, "Mother, don't overthink it."

He was used to it. Getting scolded a few times wouldn't hurt him. He could get away with it; he couldn't shut everyone up.

Almost every household in the village was short of food, but Ji Zhuxin had a good relationship with the village chief's wife. Although she didn't get much, she could still make a little extra money.

Ji Zhuxin made some pancakes and asked Ji Chaoxi to deliver them to Xie Zhiqing in the village.

Ji Chaoxi whispered, "I don't even have enough to eat myself, and I still have to feed him."

Ji Zhuxin was so angry that she slapped her on the back: "Stop nagging, hurry up and go."

Ji Chaoxi let out a wail and went off clutching the pancake.

Ji Zhuxin looked at Ji Chaoxi's retreating figure with exasperation, thinking, "He's like a child all day long, so clueless."

She had found out that this Xie Zhiqing was just coming to their village for a month or two to go through the motions. He had some connections, was well-educated, and seemed like a reasonable person.

Ji Zhuxin felt that Xie Zhiqing and Ji Chaoxi were a perfect match, and she always tried to bring them together, both openly and secretly.

Once the two of them get together, when Xie Zhiqing leaves, won't he take Ji Chaoxi with him?

Ji Chaoxi walked along the country path, sometimes squatting down to look at the leeches in the field, sometimes chatting with passersby, dawdling along until she finally arrived at Xie Zhiqing's place.

"Chaoxi, thank you so much, sister. But you don't need to go to so much trouble next time. You should keep it for yourselves."

The two stood under the tree, and Xie Zhiqing spoke softly, then went on to say a few more things.

As Ji Chaoxi listened, she began to drift off, watching the village's big yellow dog running around everywhere.

Qin Du was carrying a hoe and walking towards the top of the mountain when he looked up and met Ji Chaoxi's gaze. The two looked away.

"Chaoxi, I saw you go to Xishan with them yesterday, you..."

Ji Chaoxi was already annoyed by what she was hearing, but she was too embarrassed to show it: "Thank you, educated youth, I'm going to the fields, I still have work to do."

Xie Zhiqing paused for a moment, then nodded.

Ji Chaoxi immediately ran away.

This Xie Zhiqing is like a fool, even more talkative than when his father was alive.

There wasn't much work to do in the fields, so Ji Chaoxi went to the nearby pond to catch fish. Qin Du's land was right next to hers, and he would come to the pond to wash his hands and feet from time to time.

When no one was around, Ji Chaoxi never dared to provoke Qin Du. She only dared to curse him a few times when she was with other people.

Qin Du is the male protagonist of this world, and he has a tragic background from the very beginning.

His father died when he was very young, and the little money the family had left was all taken by the village chief and his relatives. Even their old house was seized by the village chief.

Qin Du's mother is frail and bedridden every day. He not only has to support himself, but also save money to treat his mother's illness. He is a perfect example of a strong, beautiful, and tragic character.

At first, the people of Xinniu Village didn't dislike him much, but the village chief disliked Qin Du, so the others had to follow suit, for fear of being suspected of having ulterior motives by the village chief. After all, being targeted by the village chief was no small matter.

Qin Du had a miserable adolescence. Only after he left Xinniu Village did he finally have room to grow and eventually became the respected Master Qin.

Those who bullied him back then were all dealt with by him one by one.

The sun was about to set, and Qin Du was also about to descend the mountain. Ji Chaoxi, who was catching fish, glanced at him, kept a considerable distance from him, and then also went down the mountain.

Ji Zhuxin was carrying a bamboo basket home when she spotted the group of educated youth gathered in the yard. She quickly went over to them.

"Hey everyone, come on over. I just bought some snacks, let me share them with you all."

The conversation among the educated youth was abruptly interrupted. They exchanged glances, their eyes filled with helplessness.

Ji Zhuxin was completely oblivious to other people's expressions; she just enthusiastically stuffed things into their arms, regardless of whether they wanted to eat them or not.

In her mind, it's good enough to have something to eat; how could anyone not want to eat something?

Ji Zhuxin walked up to Xie Zhiqing, her face full of smiles: "Xie Zhiqing, my sister came to see you today, right? How did your chat go?"

The surrounding educated youths looked at her with a hint of mockery, and Xie was extremely embarrassed, not really wanting to take the things from her hands.

Ji Zhuxin shoved the things into his arms and said enthusiastically, "You've known my sister for so long, what are your thoughts about her?"

Xie Zhiqing lowered her head in embarrassment: "Sister Zhuxin, isn't it too early to talk about this?"

Seeing his flushed face, Ji Zhuxin assumed he was embarrassed. City people are so shy, she said understandingly, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be shy, I was just asking."

"Go ahead and eat it, it's delicious."

Xie Zhiqing nodded and put the snack in his mouth.

As soon as Ji Zhuxin left, several educated youths began to mock him.

"Old Xie, are you really going to be with this woman from the village? Can you even connect with her?"

"That's right, Ji Chaoxi probably can't even read. If your dad knew you married a country girl, he'd beat you to a pulp."

"That Ji Zhuxin is really something. Are all the women in this village like this? They fawn over any man with good prospects. I can't stand it."

The group of educated youths burst into laughter, chatting about how Ji Zhuxin had walked and the old-fashioned snacks she had given them.

"That's enough," a voice interrupted them.

The girl frowned and closed her book: "Eating other people's food and talking badly about them behind their backs, that kind of behavior is no better than theirs."

The educated youth gave an awkward smile.

"Yi Tang, we were just joking."

"Yeah, just kidding, just kidding."

Lin Yitang ignored them and went into the room alone.
