Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"I went on a date, but it didn't work out. However, my second sister-in-law's family came to inquire about me back then. At that time, my second sister-in-law's family looked down on me, and it almost didn't work out."

"So how did it come about?"

"My mother said it's because my older brother has a job and can send money every month."

"Then why didn't the one you were dating work out?"

"His family thinks I'm stupid." Lian Sanzhu said frankly. He had been called stupid since he was a child and was used to it.

Actually, according to the current labor model of rural cooperatives, Lian Sanzhu is not incapable of supporting his family. He is capable of working and earns full centimeters every day. Lian's grandmother wants to find a more assertive wife so that he won't be bullied. However, an assertive wife doesn't want to marry a dim-witted man. The women who marry him are all even more dim-witted. Lian's grandmother is afraid that the two simple-minded men will be bullied if they get together, so she has been dragging her feet on the matter.

Lian Yanyan discovered that her uncle could understand most things and was obedient. His weakness was that he didn't have his own ideas, meaning he was only suited to being in a subordinate position.

"When you go back to the village this time, someone should be able to introduce you to someone."

"Dad said not to rush into agreeing, and Mom said she wanted to find someone in the city."

Just as she finished speaking, they arrived at her doorstep. Lian Yanyan didn't say anything more and pushed the door open to go inside.

On Saturday afternoon, the Lian family of four returned to the village safely, attracting a lot of attention as soon as they entered.

"Auntie, did you really go to the city?"

"Uncle, is Sanzhu really working in the city?"

"Is this Dazhu's daughter? How old is she? Is she engaged?"

Lian Nai patted her chest and said, "Oh dear, I'm carsick and feel nauseous. I need to go home and lie down."

What are you thinking? Asking her if her granddaughter is engaged? Can her granddaughter even go back to the village to find a partner? According to the old lady's thinking, her third son should already be finding a partner in the city.

"What is motion sickness?" The aunt who asked Lian Yanyan if she was engaged had never traveled far from town in her life and had never taken a bus.

"I just felt dizzy and nauseous from the shaking of the bus," Lian Sanzhu answered for his mother.

"Wow, city life really trains people. Our Sanzhu really knows how to talk."

"Fifth Aunt, I can speak, I'm not mute," Lian Sanzhu replied earnestly.

Lian Yanyan tried her best to keep her expression unchanged. The fifth aunt was trying to praise her, but her uncle was obedient and could only understand the literal meaning of the words.

These two people are completely on different wavelengths.

But that fifth aunt followed them all the way to the Lian family's door, chatting all the way until Uncle Lian came out to greet them, at which point she turned and left.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Lian Yanyan asked curiously, "Does this old lady have a daughter?"

Uncle Lian replied, "She has a divorced daughter who has returned home, and a grandson who is of marriageable age."

So, are they planning to wipe out the entire Lian family, uncle and nephew, in one fell swoop?

"I don't know what she's thinking. I never even looked down on her daughter before, and it's even less likely now. How dare she even think about my granddaughter? A toad trying to eat swan meat," Grandma Lian said angrily.

Aunt Lian came out of the backyard with two boys and a little girl: "Father, Mother, why didn't you send a message beforehand? You could have sent Erzhu to town to pick you up."

"It's alright, we just happened to catch the village's oxcart in town and took it back." It was early winter, and there wasn't much work to be done in the countryside. It wasn't too cold yet, and the villagers and educated youth liked to go to town to buy things at this time. The oxcart would make the round trip every day.

Lian Yanyan handed over the bag in her hand to her uncle: "Second Aunt, I packed some clothes that I've outgrown. If you don't mind, you can alter them for my little sister. There's also a bag of malt candy for you to keep."

Aunt Lian happily took the bag: "You silly girl, why are you taking such precious things as candy? Clothes will do, how can you be so picky? Every child wears the clothes of the older ones, and besides, your clothes are all good clothes."

"Second Aunt, it's alright, take it. There are some books I've read before inside. It's always good to have some education, no matter when." Lian Yanyan couldn't say too much, but the Lian family valued education quite a bit. All the children went to school and none of them were illiterate.

"Alright, alright, your little sister loves reading."

"Second Aunt, there are two industrial coupons and two cloth coupons in the book. Remember to keep them." In Lian Yanyan's opinion, the most valuable thing in this package today was these coupons, and they were coupons that she herself did not need for the time being.

"Oh, Yanzi, you're so polite! You've brought so many things."

"Second Aunt, I also have a favor to ask of you. There have been a lot of things going on at home recently, and I haven't had time to stock up on autumn vegetables. I asked someone to buy some, but not much. Could you help me exchange them for some dried vegetables or something in the village?"

"Why are you being so polite, child? It's no small matter. We already have those things at home. I'll just go out and get some other things we don't have," Aunt Lian said happily. "I'll start cooking now. How many days are you staying this time?"

"I'll go visit my dad's grave tomorrow morning and then head back. My uncle and I have to go to work the day after tomorrow."

"You're so busy! I'll cook right away, and then I'll go out to change after we finish eating."

Grandpa and Grandma Lian had already gone inside to pack their things. Uncle Lian followed them in. Lian Sanzhu wanted to go out and take his two nephews to the back mountain. Lian Qingqing was sent by Aunt Lian to call her eldest brother and sister-in-law. They were Uncle Lian's eldest son. After their marriage, there wasn't enough room in the house, so Uncle Lian had someone build them a new house at the end of the village. Last time when Lian Yanyan came to pick them up, they happened to be visiting Sister-in-law's parents' home and didn't see them.

Lian Yanyan followed them into Grandpa and Grandma Lian's room. As soon as they entered, she heard the old lady say, "This room can't be left empty. Let those two boys move in."

The Lian family lived in a three-and-a-half-room house. Originally, the elderly couple and Uncle Lian and his wife each lived in one room. The remaining room was divided into two smaller rooms for their daughter Qingqing and their two sons. The remaining half room was the kitchen. In the rural areas of that era, this was considered a very spacious living condition.

Now that the elderly couple has taken Lian Sanzhu with them, their house has become much more spacious.

"Dad, Mom, Sanzhu will definitely be able to stay in the city, right? I remember my eldest brother said there's some kind of apprenticeship period." Lian Erzhu was a little worried. This room belonged to his parents and Sanzhu, and he was afraid that his two sons would have to move out after moving in.

"They're in their internship period now. Yanzi said it shouldn't be a big problem. Sanzhu is in the logistics department, so it won't be difficult. Your mother and I won't be able to come back for the next few years, so you can let the two boys move in first. But you have to make it clear that your mother and I will be living in this house in our old age."

"Dad, this house was built by you and Mom when you were young. How can it not have a house for you? Wouldn't that make people talk behind my back?" Lian Erzhu quickly said.

"Second son, that's not what your father meant. Your parents will be coming back to take care of you in your old age. When the two boys get married and build houses, your parents will contribute some money." In reality, it means that the sons in the village are responsible for taking care of the elderly, and the parents will provide financial assistance to the sons in the village for important matters.
