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

The most surprising thing was that He Lanying took out a gold bracelet: "This was left to me by my mother. It was hidden in the cellar at home for many years, and I found it this time."

"Auntie, this is too expensive. Besides, it's not fashionable to wear this nowadays."

"You can keep it if you don't wear it now, just in case."

"No, it's too expensive."

"Yanzi, listen to me, there's no use for me keeping this. You helped get your uncle's job, and you were the one who helped me marry into this family. This is just a small token of my appreciation. If you don't accept it, it means you don't consider me family." He Lanying genuinely wanted to give it. Her mother had left her more than just this bracelet; the rest were hidden even deeper.

Having said that, Lian Yanyan didn't refuse: "Thank you, Auntie."

At the end of October, Lian Yanyan got married in a grand manner. Mo Yan borrowed a small truck, but the alley was too narrow for the truck to drive in. So, the people who came to attend the wedding carried the wedding supplies prepared by the Lian family to the truck at the entrance of the alley one by one. Finally, Jianhua from Lian's second uncle's family carried Lian Yanyan to the entrance of the alley and put her into the driver's seat of the small truck.

Grandma Lian stood at the door, gazing at the car at the alley entrance, wiping away tears. People around her tried to comfort her, saying, "Grandma, this is a joyous occasion, don't cry."

"She's married into another family after all, how can we bear to part with her!" The old lady's tears flowed even more fiercely. This was her eldest son's only child. Her eldest son was gone, and her own mother didn't care. How many more years could the old couple live? What if Yanzi suffered any injustice? Uncle and aunt were, after all, a different level.

Qiu Jing, who was supporting the old lady, also wiped away her tears, saying, "Auntie, please don't cry. Yanzi will worry if she sees you crying."

Even Uncle Lian, supporting his father, was worried. Although the old man didn't cry, his eyes were red. His parents were old, and he had suffered a blow when his eldest brother passed away. Later, for the sake of his son and granddaughter, he cheered up. On the surface, he seemed to be fine, but in fact, he was holding everything in his heart. The pain of losing a son in old age can never be dispelled. Yanzi's marriage must have made the old man very sad.

"Mother, don't cry. Yanzi married nearby and works in the same factory as Sanzhu. We'll know about any trouble right away. Don't worry, I'm here for you. I treat Yanzi like my own daughter," He Lanying assured her, patting her chest.

Even Auntie Lian's smile faded a bit, and she added, "That's right, Mom and Dad, don't worry, Yanzi's second and third uncles' families will always be Yanzi's maternal home."

A group of people persuaded them, and finally managed to calm the two elderly people down. Then everyone went to Mo Yan's house for the banquet. The two houses were not far apart, and they didn't even need to take the bus; it was less than a fifteen-minute walk.

On the way, Aunt Zhang whispered to Grandma Wang, "Such a big event as a wedding, and Wu Qingya isn't even there?"

"She makes a scene every time she comes. Ever since Lian Gong sacrificed his life, she hasn't stopped. If she doesn't want to come, she doesn't have to. It's not proper for her to cause such a scene on such a joyous occasion." Grandma Wang replied in a low voice. The Lian family hadn't specifically announced the wedding date, but any mother who paid attention would have known. Mo Yan hadn't kept the wedding preparations a secret either. The factory manager, who was Mo Yan's former superior, had sent a gift in advance.

"Such a woman is a rare sight indeed." Aunt Zhang didn't know how to describe her anymore; "ruthless" was an understatement.

Mo Yan's family had a large courtyard with a shed and several tables set up. The main dishes were ordered from a state-run restaurant, and two stoves were set up next to it to stir-fry some small vegetables. The meal would begin when her family members arrived.

Aunt Lian Er pulled her youngest daughter, Lian Qingqing, in to keep Lian Yanyan company: "Qingqing, you stay here with your sister. I'm going out to take a look."

"Mom, I want to eat at the feast too." Lian Qingqing is not even ten years old and eats meat only a few times a year. When she passed by the table just now, she saw that there were several meat dishes, and even the stir-fried cabbage had shredded meat in it.

"Young lady, don't be so greedy," Aunt Lian admonished. "Especially when you're out in public, you should behave yourself."

"Second Aunt, it's alright, Qingqing. Someone will bring in the food soon, you can eat with your sister."

"Sister, your clothes are so beautiful," Lian Qingqing said enviously.

Wearing black pants and a red top, with plastic flowers in her hair, Lian Yanyan felt that the outfit had a simple yet comical charm. It was a popular wedding outfit in this era, and also a relatively simple one.

"Qingqing, are you tired from the car ride here?"

"I'm not tired. The bus swayed and bumped its way here. I haven't had enough of the ride yet, but my mom isn't feeling well. She feels nauseous."

"You're probably carsick. When you go back, go early and sit in the front seats; it'll be better that way," Lian Yanyan said casually.

"Sister, this hair accessory of yours is beautiful, even prettier than the one my sister Da Ya wore at her wedding last year. Could you keep it and lend it to me for my wedding?"

Lian Yanyan paused for a moment, then looked directly at the little girl sitting on the stool: "Qingqing, I remember you're only nine years old, right? You're already thinking about marriage?"

"Sister, my mother said that girls have to get married sooner or later." Aunt Lian was probably the most traditional person in the family.

"Qingqing, do you think my outfit and accessories look good today?"

"nice."

"You can buy clothes like that with less than half a month's salary. If you just work and get a salary, you can buy new clothes every month. Which married person can do that? So what you should be thinking about now is studying hard so you can earn your own money in the future."

"But my mother said that people like my uncle and sister are very rare. Most people are like her and my sister Daya, getting married when they reach a certain age," Lian Qingqing said earnestly, tilting her head.

"Qingqing, firstly, your second uncle will definitely let you go to school, because everyone in our family needs to be educated. Since you're going to school, you should study hard. Secondly, job opportunities all require literacy and education. If you're not educated, you won't get a job opportunity."

"Then, Uncle,"

"One of the conditions for your uncle to get into the factory is that he has to graduate from junior high school, otherwise he wouldn't have a chance." Lian Yanyan made it up directly; actually, that job only required knowing a few words.

This is also why Deputy Factory Director Wang can confidently retort to those who question him. Even Sanzhu, a proper junior high school graduate, has a lower educational background than anyone else in the logistics department, except for the director.

"Oh? Then I'll go to junior high school too." Lian Qingqing changed her mind. Her second aunt wanted her daughter to stop studying after elementary school and come home to help her with chores, but the Lian family tradition was to support her daughter's education as long as she could. So she brainwashed her daughter and made her refuse to go to school no matter what.

Influenced by the general environment, even Auntie Er didn't attach much importance to schooling. Her eldest son said he couldn't concentrate on his studies and went home before finishing junior high school, which she agreed to. Her second son was 16 years old and had graduated from junior high school, but his grades were not good, so he went home to farm. Her third son and youngest daughter were both in elementary school, and their grades were just average.

"Study hard so that you can work and earn money in the future and buy the things you like."

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister. My dad said that the smartest people in the family are my eldest uncle and my sister."
