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

Seeing that she refused to reveal her real name, Gu Huai did not force her, but gave her a key and a note.

"Alright, Comrade Zhang Cuihua, this is a courtyard I prepared specially. You can go there directly next time. My people don't usually go there except for transactions. You can also rest there."

Wen Li smiled as she took the note and glanced at it, understanding the situation. However, she was still quite satisfied with Gu Huai's thoughtfulness; such a considerate partner would make cooperation very pleasant.

"Thank you so much, Boss Gu!"

"Since that's the case, shouldn't you tell me about your dishes?"

Gu Huai had never thought about starting this business. At first, he just thought the dishes were fresh and tasted good, but after eating them a few times, he felt that he was less prone to fatigue and his sleep quality had improved a lot.

He immediately saw the business opportunity in it.

Wen Li knew Gu Huai would be interested in those dishes. It's good to deal with smart people; she didn't even need to remind him, he had already thought of the next step.

"How do you think the price should be set?"

How much stock can you provide?

"The quantity of vegetables is limited; we can only take out 200 jin (100 kg) at a time!"

Just as Gu Huai had predicted, vegetables spoil easily if left out for too long, so 200 jin (100 kg) at a time is enough.

"Those vegetables usually cost only two cents a pound, but the ones you're giving me taste better, so how about ten cents a pound?"

Wen Li thought about it and nodded in agreement. Vegetables in this era didn't fetch a good price. Wen Li was just thinking that there were too many vegetables in her space, and she couldn't possibly eat them all. Rather than keeping them in her space, she might as well sell them!

"I'm telling you in advance, this business won't last long!"

It's already autumn, and there really aren't many vegetables left this season. Gu Huai felt a little regretful, but he didn't insist. After all, there's plenty of time in the future!

"Okay, shall we use these same things for the next transaction?"

Wen Li isn't short of money right now, but who would complain about having too much money!

"I want a piece of jade of good quality. If you don't have that, then you'll still have to pay!"

Gu Huai had quite a few jade ornaments and jewelry. He planned to go back and sort out the contents of the box before trading them with Wen Li.

"Sure, no problem. I just happened to have two pigs that I bought; you can take these few pounds of meat home and eat them!"

Wen Li took the basket and saw that it contained about five catties of premium pork belly. It was clear that Gu Huai had put a lot of effort into it.

"Then I won't be polite!"

After they finished talking, they said their goodbyes. Wen Li rode her bicycle back home, intending to return to her room quietly, but she saw a tall, dark figure at the back door.

Neither of them expected to run into someone at this time. Wen Li tensed up for a moment, but judging from the person's height and build, it was undoubtedly Lu Zechuan.

The flashlight shone on Lu Zechuan's face. Lu Zechuan squinted slightly, and when he saw that it was Wen Li, he raised an eyebrow.

"Wen, the educated youth, out for a walk in the middle of the night?"

Wen Li rolled her eyes. Why was this person talking so sarcastically? Who goes for a walk in the middle of the night?

"Hehe, even Lu, the educated youth, is out for a walk?"

"I've come out to catch rats!" Lu Zechuan said, handing the lifeless bamboo rat in his hand to Wen Li so she could see it clearly.

Wen Li's lips twitched. "Then I won't disturb your enjoyment!"

Lu Zechuan smiled faintly. "Okay, get some rest!"

Wen Li walked past Lu Zechuan with a basket on her back. Lu Zechuan could tell where she was just by glancing at the meat inside.

Are you timid?

That's more like being incredibly audacious!

Wen Li returned to her room, cut the meat into several strips, and put them into her spatial storage. She didn't think at all about what Lu Zechuan was doing. The more you know, the more dangerous it is. She was already in a precarious situation herself and didn't want to get involved in this mess.

The next day, the educated youth compound became lively again as the whistle blew.

Chen Yan brought over two steaming hot meat buns early in the morning, and Wen Li made a cup of malted milk powder, and that solved breakfast.

"I got some pork belly; we'll have braised pork for lunch!"

"Sure!"

Chen Yan was very sensible and didn't ask Wen Li where she got the meat. As long as there was something to eat, that was fine. Everyone has their secrets!

The two men took their farm tools and went to work in the fields.

Today, in addition to Jiang Yue'er and Guo Caixia, there's another person to gossip about in the village.

Aunt Wang: "Tsk tsk tsk~ Zhang Yaozong's thing was almost crippled. When I went over this morning, he was covered in injuries. Liu Pan'er is getting more and more ruthless!"

Aunt Chen: "Liu Pan'er is too vicious! Yaozong is a man, the pillar of the family. How could she hit her own husband?"

Wen Li was speechless. This Aunt Chen's husband also had the surname Zhang, and they were related to Zhang Yaozong's family. She herself was beaten by her husband every day, yet she still defended him like this. No wonder she was beaten.

"Aunt Chen, you're wrong about that. Men need to be disciplined to grow up properly. Zhang Yaozong used to be a good-for-nothing, always running around. But after Liu, the educated youth, taught him a lesson, he's so well-behaved now! He goes to work and earns money every day, he's finally starting to look like a decent person!"

"You can't hit someone!" Aunt Chen still disagreed with Liu Pan'er's actions. "A man is the pillar of the family; what if he gets hurt?"

Wen Li was utterly speechless at Aunt Chen's absurd logic. "It's okay for men to hit women, but it's wrong for women to hit men? What kind of logic is that?"

Aunt Chen instantly flew into a rage. "Wen, you young girls just don't understand! You'll understand once you're married. The man is the pillar of the family. We women are only responsible for serving our men. To lay a hand on a man is an outrageous act!"

Looking at Aunt Chen's thin body and the bruises on her face, Wen Li opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Some people's ideas are deeply ingrained. Aunt Chen is over fifty years old, and there's no point in arguing with her. You can't reason with her anyway.

"Wen, don't dismiss what I'm saying. This is all based on my experience. If it were someone like you back in the day, you'd be drowned in a pig cage!"

Wen Li regretted answering Aunt Chen's words earlier. Some people have suffered themselves and want to tame others into being like them. Such people are terrifying!

"Haha, you're right!"

Wen Li quickened her pace and immediately moved away from Aunt Chen.

Aunt Wang quickly came over, "Don't take it to heart, she's out of her mind. She thinks it's a sign that men like her when they hit her!"

Aunt Zhang: "Their whole family likes to beat women. They've really spoiled them. If you ask me, Liu Pan'er should beat Zhang Yaozong a few more times and see if he dares to lay a hand on her again."

Wen Li: "Who would dare marry into a family like that?"

"Her family offered a high bride price; those who sell their daughters don't care about her family's circumstances!"

Wen Li paused for a moment before changing the subject. This age-old problem still exists in the 21st century, let alone now.

"Why haven't I seen Zhang Cuicui lately?"

Aunt Wang curled her lip. "Her face was scratched; how could she possibly show her face?"

Wen Li laughed out loud. She hadn't expected Liu Pan'er to be so strong, defeating everyone in the Zhang family in one fell swoop.
