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

"Dad, no need. Sanzhu doesn't earn as much as my older brother, and he hasn't gotten married yet. You can save his money for him." Unlike in the village, where they could earn work points, in the city, the old couple only earn Sanzhu's salary. Although it's said that the old couple is paying, it's actually Sanzhu who is paying.

"Let's leave it at that for now, and see how things go about the actual situation." Master Lian didn't give a definitive answer. Sanzhu wasn't like his older brother; he was destined to earn a fixed salary at the bottom level for the rest of his life, with no hope of promotion or a raise.

The elderly couple had some savings that they had never revealed, which their eldest son had secretly given them to them over the years without anyone knowing.

Lian Yanyan listened without saying a word. So far, she was quite satisfied with the Lian family. If she had the ability, she would still be willing to take care of them at crucial moments in the future. No matter what era, it is not a good thing for an orphan girl with no family at all.

After exchanging a few words, Lian Erzhu's eldest son came in carrying a child: "Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Yanzi."

"Big brother," Lian Yanyan greeted.

"Jianguo, where's your wife?" Lian Erzhu's three sons are named Jianguo, Jianhua, and Jianjun, and his daughter is named Lian Qingqing.

"I'm going to help Mom cook."

"Quickly bring my great-grandson over here so I can see him." Grandma Lian, who is not yet sixty years old, already has four generations under one roof.

Lian Yanyan wasn't very familiar with this cousin and didn't have much to say to him. They exchanged a simple greeting, had dinner together that evening, and the next morning, at the crack of dawn, the Lian family quietly went to the back mountain to pay their respects before returning.

Lian Erzhu borrowed an oxcart from the production team and personally escorted the four people to town, watching them board the bus before returning home.

Lian Yanyan doesn't want to go back anytime soon. The buses in this era are a real ordeal. Luckily, none of the four members of the Lian family get carsick, otherwise it would be even more unbearable.

On Sunday afternoon, Mo Yan met the Lian family, who were carrying large and small bags, outside the bus station.

"You've really gone to so much trouble," said Master Lian politely.

"Grandpa, you're too kind. The city buses are different from coaches. It's inconvenient for you to take the bus with so much stuff. Anyway, I don't have anything to do." Mo Yan quickly took the bags and put them on the tricycle.

Lian Yanyan stood to the side watching as everything was loaded onto the tricycle, then said, "Grandpa and Grandma, you two come with me to take the bus. Uncle and Mo Yan will ride the tricycle back together. Oh, by the way, my uncle can't ride. Can you teach him? Once he can, he can take turns riding back with you."

The last sentence was said to Mo Yan.

Mo Yan, who was being instructed, happily replied, "Okay, I got it. Be careful when you take the bus too."

On the way, Lian Nai noticed something amiss and asked in a low voice, "Yanzi, wasn't he the one who delivered the coal a few days ago?"

"right."

"From the factory?"

"Yes, from the security department, a veteran, a combat hero."

"Does he want to be your boyfriend?"

"He didn't say." What Lian Yanyan wanted to say was that she wanted to win him over, but she was afraid of scaring the old lady, so she didn't say it.

Until they got home, the old lady didn't say anything more. Even Yan Yan, who was used to making her own decisions, didn't think about asking anyone's opinion or continue talking. But as soon as they entered the courtyard, the old lady suddenly pulled her into the main room: "Yan Zi, if you think that person is alright, just ask him directly."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Isn't it popular these days to spend some time together first? Why don't you just ask him if he wants to spend time with you?"

"Me ask? Me ask first?" Lian Yanyan didn't think there was anything wrong with that. In her eyes, it didn't matter who spoke first between a man and a woman. What surprised her was that the old lady told her to take the initiative to ask.

"What's the big deal? Back then, I was introduced to your grandpa on a blind date. I liked him, but he told the matchmaker he needed to think about it. I cornered him and asked, 'Why can't we get engaged? What am I lacking?'"

"Grandma, you're so brave!"

"It's nothing. I just thought that if they really didn't like me, I could find someone else and not delay things. My stepmother can't stand me anymore, and I'm in a hurry to get married," the old lady said nonchalantly.

How old were you at that time?

"Fifteen years old."

"So, my grandfather agreed?"

He said his family was too poor and he was afraid he couldn't afford to get married.

"I don't want it no matter what. Just give me a straight answer, and I'll marry you right away."

"Grandma, you're amazing."

"Let's not talk about my old, trivial matters. That young man was a soldier, now he has a job, he's good-looking, and his conditions are good. We can ask him. If he's not interested, we won't bother with him. My granddaughter is beautiful, it's not too late to choose a few more years."

"He's probably a few years older than me, is that okay?"

"Your grandpa is six years older than me. Once you're over forty, you're all the same; you can't tell."

"Too."

"Yanzi, it's up to you. If you don't have any ideas, I won't let him pick you up today. If you think it's a good match, we can give it a try. If it's not, we can find someone else. You have more confidence than Grandma, you have a job and a family."

"I understand, Grandma." Lian Yanyan nodded. She had her own rhythm, but it was fast.

After a while, Mo Yan and Lian Sanzhu arrived home on their tricycles. Grandma Lian had already started cooking, making several dishes using what was available at home.

"Young man, thank you for bringing the things back. It's too late today, and I didn't have time to buy groceries, so it's just some cabbage and potatoes. That'll have to do. Next time, next time, I'll have Yanzi's grandpa go ahead and queue up to buy meat, and then I'll invite you over for dinner," Grandma Lian said warmly.

"That's great, Grandma Lian. Your cooking is excellent, even your home-style dishes are delicious," Mo Yan praised.

After finishing his meal, Mo Yan rode away on his tricycle; he had to work the night shift.

Suddenly, Grandpa Lian said to Lian Yanyan, "This young man seems alright for now."

"Sir, how did you figure that out? In just the time it takes to eat a meal?"

"You can tell just by looking at their little gestures. Good manners mean good upbringing and quick thinking. People like that won't have a bad life."

"And what about his character?"

"You silly girl, do you really think your grandpa can predict the future? Some people might not be seen through even after ten or eight years. Take it slow, and if it really doesn't work out, just find someone else."

Lian Yanyan: "..."

The Lian family's thinking is very progressive!

On Monday morning, when Lian Yanyan arrived at work, she saw a scene she really didn't want to see: Lin Feng and a few other people were standing outside the factory gate, and across from them, Mo Yan was talking to a colleague who had come to take over the shift.

Lian Yanyan glanced at the bustling factory gate, slowed her pace, and looked at Mo Yan and then at the few people standing outside.

Even Lian Sanzhu recognized Lin Feng standing outside. Seeing his niece slow down and turn back to look, he coaxed her, "Yanzi, don't be afraid, your uncle is here. He won't let them have a chance to bully you."

Mo Yan, who was holding the duty roster, couldn't hear what Lian Sanzhu said, but he noticed something unusual in the girl's dragging steps and the direction of her gaze.
