Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...
Lin Yu's first week of university was not easy. The university was full of talented people, and everyone cherished the opportunity to learn.
No one would just play around and not study; on the contrary, many people study late into the night, afraid that they won't learn enough in just four years.
As a result, influenced by this atmosphere, Lin Yu did nothing but study every day.
She's busier than when she works at the food factory.
She was so busy that it was already the weekend when she realized that she hadn't done anything but study all week.
Since it's the weekend, Lin Yu decided to give herself a break.
Although studying is important, she doesn't want to be a learning machine; she wants to enjoy the beauty of university life.
On Sunday, Lin Yu went to visit Lin Jing at the school next door.
The situation at their school was even worse than Lin Yu's.
When Lin Yu saw her younger sister, she was eating a steamed bun while reading a book.
Lin Yu tapped the table before she realized what was happening: "Sis, you're here."
Lin Yu took her steamed bun away and said, "If you're going to study, study properly. If you're going to eat, focus on eating. You'll have indigestion if you keep eating like this."
Lin Jing smiled and said, "Everyone is studying, so I can't slack off."
Lin Yu said understandingly, "Me too, I study every day, but I still need to take care of my health."
Lin Jing nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Lin Yu was relieved to see that she had taken the advice to heart.
She didn't spend as much time with Lin Jing as she did with her older sister Lin Wen. The two sisters went to school together and had to take care of each other, so Lin Yu wanted to spend more time with her younger sister.
"Let's go see Uncle Dahui."
Li Dahui is Lin Yu and Lin Jing's uncle, and Ou Manqing is Lin Yu's best friend. It's only right and proper that they both go and visit.
Lin Jing had no objections, put her things down, packed them up, and left with Lin Yu.
Ou Manqing's school wasn't far away. The two sisters walked there, and before they even reached the dormitory building, they saw Ou Manqing.
Lin Yu waved to her from afar and ran over: "Manqing, where are you going?"
When Ou Manqing saw the two sisters, she smiled and said, "Let's go home. Come with me to take a look. Da Hui has rented a house right outside the school."
Lin Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Da Hui, you rented a house so quickly?"
She had originally planned that if Li Dahui couldn't find a house, they would go out on the weekend to help look around.
I didn’t expect him to get things sorted out so quickly. I have to say, Uncle Da Hui truly deserves his future status as a business tycoon.
As he walked, Ou Manqing explained, "He was lucky. He helped an old man on the road, and the old man was kind enough to help him find a landlord."
Starting the year before last, people have been gradually exonerated and returned to the city.
Their previously confiscated properties have all been returned.
Some people, not wanting to return to the place of their heartbreak, decided to rent out their houses.
But we won't rent to people from other places.
Fortunately, Li Dahui met the old man by chance and even helped him out.
Seeing that he had a child with him, the other party felt sorry for him and acted as a matchmaker for him.
The landlord and the old man were old acquaintances. Because he trusted the old man's character, he was willing to rent the house to Li Dahui.
Lin Yu thought to herself, "Li Dahui and Ou Manqing are indeed worthy of being the male and female leads; they're just so lucky."
Is this what they call the protagonist's halo?
Lin Jing asked curiously from the side, "Sister Manqing, how much is the rent for your house?"
She had heard local classmates talk about the housing shortage at school and was worried that Uncle Da Hui might not be able to find a place to stay.
Now that I hear he's rented a place, I'm wondering if the rent will be very expensive, and whether Uncle Dahui can afford it.
Ou Manqing told them, "The rent is eight yuan per month."
Lin Jing exclaimed, "Wow! That's expensive!"
These days, the average wage is only thirty or forty yuan, and rent alone costs eight yuan.
Add in the costs of water, electricity, and food, and you'll spend over ten yuan a month, right?
Lin Jing went directly from high school to university and never experienced what it's like to earn money herself.
But they also understand that money doesn't come easily.
Hearing this, I became worried about how they would manage to live their lives.
Lin Yu knew what she was thinking, patted her head and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Uncle Dahui and Manqing will definitely have a solution."
Lin Yu wasn't worried about their financial situation. Both of them had jobs over the years, and their savings must be substantial.
Li Dahui is not the kind of person who would sit around and live off his savings.
It's not open yet, but it will be soon.
When he's free to do business, why worry about Li Dahui not making money?
The three of them quickly walked to the street behind the school, and after passing two courtyards in an alley, they arrived at the house rented by Li Dahui.
Upon seeing the house, Lin Yu understood why the monthly rent was eight yuan.
Because this is a separate courtyard!
It's a traditional courtyard house, with only one entrance, and it's incredibly spacious inside.
Although the house is somewhat dilapidated, it makes it look more rustic and has a certain charm.
Lin Jing said with some disdain, "Eight yuan for renting an old house?"
People nowadays prefer apartment buildings and new houses, so when Lin Jing saw the old house, she felt it wasn't worth it.
Lin Yu smiled and shook her head: "You don't understand, this kind of house is much better than an apartment building."
Nowadays, most of those tenement buildings are not soundproof and have small spaces, so living in them is not as comfortable as living in a courtyard.
What's more, this courtyard looks like a historic traditional courtyard house. Being able to stay in such a house, even if it's just rented, is a rare experience.
Ou Manqing smiled and said, "I knew you would understand."
The only person here who could understand her was Lin Yu. She liked the courtyard as soon as she saw it and decided to rent it without any hesitation.
Li Dahui wouldn't object to her opinion, but he also felt that it was just an old house with nothing special about it.
He just liked that the yard was big enough so that Yuanyuan would have a place to play.
Here they are, sitting under the eaves, while Yuanyuan runs around in the yard.
Li Dahui came out of the kitchen and said, "Get ready to eat."
Since moving in, Li Dahui has been taking care of the family.
The learning atmosphere at Ou Manqing's place was also very strong. She didn't dare to slack off and only went home for dinner in the evening.
Just as they were about to sit down, they heard someone knocking on the door.
Yuanyuan raised her little hand: "I'll open the door, I'll open the door."
The six-year-old girl is very lively, unlike her father who is dull and reserved, or her mother who is gentle and mild-mannered.
The couple were happy to indulge him, and Li Dahui said with a smile, "Okay, you go drive it."
He said that, but when he saw the child run away, he still followed him.
A moment later, Zhou Huanan's voice could be heard coming from the doorway.
The person walked in, smiling, and said, "You're all here. I've come at the perfect time."
Li Dahui: "Perfect timing, time to eat."
Zhou Huanan was the first among them to know that Li Dahui had rented a house.
After all, he was the host, and Li Dahui was his good brother, so he often came out to visit the father and daughter.
Knowing they had found a house, he even came over to help them move.
