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

"I called last week and he said he could send me a list of trendy clothes, hair clips and stuff, and he wouldn't charge me upfront. He said I could pay him after I sold them and resold them."

"Okay, have you found a storefront yet?"

"Not yet, I'm just discussing it with you."

"I think it's a good idea. Go find a shop and ask your sister-in-law back home if she wants to work with you. Once you're comfortable with it, you can open a clothing store back in town," Lian Yanyan suggested directly.

He Lanying acted quickly, resigned, opened a shop, and got it all done in less than a month. When the first batch of goods arrived at the station, Lian Jianguo's wife went with her to pick them up.

In this day and age, opening a store with a stable supply of goods is basically a sure way to make a profit.

Now only Uncle Lian and his wife are left in their hometown. Lian Jianhua and Lian Qingqing have gone to school. Lian Jianguo works in the school's logistics department, which makes it convenient for him to take care of the children. He sent all three of his children to school in town.

The land in the countryside has been distributed to individual households. Even Uncle Lian and his wife are finding it difficult to take care of the land. As the eldest brother, Lian Jianguo discussed with Lian Jianhua the idea of ​​renting out the family's land to villagers and bringing his parents to live in the town.

Lian Jianhua is now very wealthy and powerful. He directly asked his elder brother to find a house in town and buy it for his parents to live in. Originally, his second uncle disagreed, saying that they were living comfortably at home, so why should they move out?

The eldest son said that he was the only one in town who could take care of three children and was overwhelmed. The second son said that buying a house now was an investment and that the price would definitely rise in a few years.

After some coaxing and persuasion, the elderly couple were moved to the town. Since then, the old house in the village has been empty, with only Uncle Lian occasionally going back to tidy it up.

He Lanying's clothing store was located in a bustling area, mainly because the police station was just across the street. She had hesitated to rent a place because the rent was too expensive, but Lian Yanyan contributed some money to help her open the store there. With two women running a store, safety was a concern. He Lanying seemed to be born to do business and got into the role very quickly.

Lian Yanyan received an assignment to conduct an in-depth investigation into the enrollment situation of school-age children in the community. Originally, this task was mainly assigned to teachers in various schools, with the Education Bureau only going out to oversee the overall situation. However, she saw a familiar neighborhood and decided to go there herself.

Before liberation, the neighborhood where the Lin family lived was inhabited by wealthy people. Although most of the houses were allocated to ordinary people, one can still feel the difference in building materials and styles once you enter the neighborhood.

"Director Lian, this list contains information on all school-age children in the neighborhood. Those who haven't filled in their school information are not yet in school." The street office staff had already done the preliminary work.

Lian Yanyan decided to focus on families whose children were of school age but not yet in school. After a morning of talking, the group was exhausted. The families whose children were not in school had all sorts of strange reasons, and all of them had daughters.

"We've already tried to persuade them, and the country has already passed legislation. If they don't send their children to school, then we'll have to enforce it."

"Okay, Director Lian." The street staff nodded, knowing that enforcement required coordination among multiple departments.

"How old are you?" Lian Yanyan saw a girl with disheveled hair in the corner. She was dirty, but her face was very young.

The girl shrank her thin body and stared at her blankly without saying a word.

A staff member from the neighborhood office explained: "This child is called Daya. She should be 14 years old. She only has a half-blind grandmother. Her father passed away before she was born. Her mother suffered a difficult childbirth and died after giving birth. She was raised by the neighbors in this area who fed her mouthful by mouth. It was only when she got older that everyone realized that she had intellectual disabilities."

"Didn't you get it treated?"

"When she was five or six years old, the old lady took her to the hospital once, but they said it was incurable, so they never went back. Daya has been fed by many families since she was little. Whenever it was mealtime, she would be given a bite to eat by whoever was at her house." A staff member from the neighborhood office said regretfully, "The little girl's mother is good-looking. If this girl were normal, she wouldn't be any less than perfect."

Lian Yanyan's heart skipped a beat. Even if someone wasn't good-looking, this situation wouldn't be safe.

"Don't be afraid, Auntie will give you candy." Lian Yanyan took out a milk candy from her bag, squatted down and patiently handed it to Daya.

Daya glanced at the familiar staff member but didn't take the candy. The staff member smiled and said, "Take it, Daya. This is a leader from the Education Bureau. He's a good person and can eat it."

He then explained to Lian Yanyan, "We were afraid she would be kidnapped, so we've been telling her since she was little that she can't eat anything from strangers, because they're all bad people. She's very obedient."

Daya timidly reached out and took the milk candy, but held it in her hand without eating it.

Lian Yanyan reached out to tug at her clothes, but suddenly felt something was wrong with her stomach. She reached out and touched it, but Daya hugged her stomach and moved away.

The staff member assigned to her by the neighborhood office was an unmarried young woman who had also grown up in this area. Lian Yanyan glanced back at her, said nothing, and asked for Daya's address.

"Oh, the two of them, grandmother and granddaughter, lived in the Lin family's courtyard. When the government returned the house to the Lin family, several families didn't have other houses and temporarily rented in the courtyard. Later, they all moved away one after another. Only these two, grandmother and granddaughter, were left. Teacher Lin is a nice person. She doesn't charge them rent and even helps them with food and drink from time to time after she starts working."

Lian Yanyan nodded. After get off work, she took the two children to the Lian family home and asked their grandparents to look after them for a while. Then she went to the home of one of Mo Yan's comrades.

"Sister-in-law, what brings you here?" Xing Anguo said with surprise as he opened the door.

Lian Yanyan handed over the snacks and nutritional supplements in her hand: "I heard that you brought your mother from your hometown. Mo Yan lives far away, so I came to check on her for him."

"Sister-in-law, you're too kind. Yan-ge and I don't stand on ceremony."

"Whether you're particular or not is your business. I'm here to see Auntie." Lian Yanyan smiled at the old lady sitting on a chair to the side: "Auntie, how are you doing?"

"Okay, okay, thank you for coming to see me."

Xing Anguo was a comrade-in-arms who was discharged from the army two years later than Mo Yan. He was assigned to a branch bureau. He was a flexible person. He had just been allocated a house this year and brought his widowed mother, who had been widowed for many years, to live with him.

"Where is your sister-in-law?"

"I'm going to do laundry." Xing Anguo was assigned to a tenement building, with a communal water room on each floor.

"Where are the children?"

"They're playing at the neighbor's house."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lian Yanyan revealed her other purpose for coming: "There's something that doesn't really concern me, but I just couldn't bear to tell you. If it's true, it'll be a good achievement for you."

Xing Anguo turned on the radio and handed it to his mother. The old lady was hard of hearing and couldn't hear their conversation while listening to the radio. The house was really small, with only two rooms, both bedrooms, so it wasn't convenient to go to either one.
