Chapter 24 Sisters with the Vicious Cannon Fodder
The next day, very early in the morning.
Jiang Feiyan ate breakfast in the space before going to the living room.
Jiang Wanbao has already left.
However, before he left, he ransacked the living room and his parents' room.
It seems he's also looking for money; luckily, she acted quickly.
A while later, staff from the neighborhood committee came to her door to inform her of the specific time and address for taking the train to the countryside the day after tomorrow, and told her not to forget.
Jiang Feiyan acknowledged that she understood, and after seeing the person out, she also left.
He went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a box of canned goods, and also bought half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy before carrying the gifts to visit the Zhou family.
As soon as she arrived at the Zhou family home, she sensed that something was off.
When Aunt Wu saw her, although she had a big smile on her face, her eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying.
Uncle Zhou forced a smile, greeted her, and said he was going back to his room to rest.
Jiang Feiyan looked puzzled and asked directly, "Aunt Wu, what happened? Why do you and Uncle Zhou look like you're not in a good mood?"
"Oh, I'm so angry with Linghui!" Aunt Wu said sadly.
“She secretly signed up to go to the countryside without telling me and her dad. If the neighborhood committee hadn’t come over this morning to inform us that she would be going to the countryside the day after tomorrow, we wouldn’t have known about it!”
Jiang Feiyan was surprised: "What? Why is she doing this? Doesn't she have a job?"
Linghui was a year older than her and worked as a caregiver and early childhood educator in a nursery run by the textile factory.
She's been working for almost a year now, and I heard she'll be promoted to a permanent position soon.
Why would I sign up to go to the countryside at such a crucial time?!
"It's all because of her old classmate, Xiao Feng!" Aunt Wu said through gritted teeth. "I don't know what kind of spell that young man cast on her, making her so hung up on him!"
"Xiao Feng?" Jiang Feiyan frowned.
In the original owner's memories, it seems that Sister Linghui had mentioned this name to her a few times.
Every time she mentions it, she looks like she's secretly smitten.
However, the original owner wasn't interested in this kind of thing before, so she didn't take it to heart.
But... why does this name sound so familiar? It's like I've seen it somewhere before...
"That brat is really bold! She doesn't even consult us before doing something like this. We've wasted our time raising her!"
Aunt Wu wiped away her tears, glanced into the room, and sighed:
"Her dad was so angry he didn't eat anything this morning. He's probably hiding in his room secretly wiping away tears right now. Sigh..."
Jiang Feiyan: ......
Well, that's a bit damaging to Uncle Zhou's image.
Jiang Feiyan: "Aunt Wu, I want to ask, what's the situation with Xiao Feng's family? Are he and Sister Linghui dating?"
Zhou Linghui and Xiao Feng were classmates and both graduated from high school last year.
If the other person hadn't found a job, they should have gone to the countryside after graduation; why wait until now?
Moreover, she had never heard Linghui mention that they were dating.
Jiang Feiyan had this question in her mind, so she asked it.
To everyone's surprise, Aunt Wu jumped up in anger upon hearing this: "What kind of boyfriend am I talking about!"
Xiao Feng didn't like her at all; she was always the one chasing after him to please him.
Xiao Feng's family used to be quite well-off, but it seems they were reported recently, and their home is now a complete mess.
It's probably to protect him that they sent him to the countryside.
That stubborn girl, she actually secretly followed him to the countryside too! It's infuriating!!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feiyan's heart skipped a beat.
The more I hear this plot, the more familiar it seems.
She's sure! She saw it somewhere!!
As Jiang Feiyan pondered, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, the night before she went bungee jumping in modern times, she read a period novel before going to bed.
The name seems to be something like "A cold and aloof educated youth from the 1970s was charmed by a lucky farm girl".
The novel's male protagonist is named Xiao Feng, who was forced to go to the countryside because of some changes in his family.
He is aloof and cold, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close to him.
The female protagonist is a farm girl with a cheerful, lively, and helpful personality.
After meeting the male protagonist in the countryside, she often helped him and became the ray of sunshine in his heart.
The two went through a lot together and overcame many obstacles before finally getting together.
However, she only read the first part of the novel, and stopped reading the rest because it was too late and she had to go to sleep.
She remembered that at the very beginning of the novel, there was a very annoying and vicious cannon fodder character.
The other party really liked the male lead, and even went to the countryside with him for his sake.
When Jiang Feiyan read the novel, she only glanced at the names of the male and female protagonists and the rest of the characters.
But now that I think about it carefully, the name of this vicious cannon fodder seems to be Zhou Linghui!
"..." Jiang Feiyan was completely dumbfounded.
So she transmigrated into a book?
But she doesn't exist in the novel...
Jiang Feiyan racked her brains for a while and suddenly remembered a scene from the novel.
Not long after she went to the countryside, Zhou Linghui received a telegram from home saying that a younger sister she had known for a long time had passed away.
It seems that the younger sister was originally supposed to go to the countryside, but because she was sick and didn't get better, she couldn't go and unexpectedly died at home.
Upon hearing the news, Zhou Linghui broke down in tears and sought comfort from the male lead.
Then she saw the male and female leads having a warm and loving time together, and couldn't help but rush over to question them, only to be ruthlessly scolded by the male lead.
From that moment on, Zhou Linghui gradually developed hatred for the female lead, which led to her constant targeting of her later on.
Jiang Feiyan was speechless.
So, she must be the younger sister who died before her name was even mentioned?
If she hadn't transmigrated, the original owner would have survived that agonizing night, but ultimately still died of illness.
None of that matters. The most important thing is that she and the vicious cannon fodder Zhou Linghui are best friends.
Linghui is still an upright, kind, and innocent girl.
He's not like those characters in novels who go astray because of love turning to hate!
Moreover, the other party's fate was tragic.
Because he frequently clashed with the female lead, he was ruthlessly framed by the male lead, resulting in his disgrace and death by jumping into a river.
Jiang Feiyan: ......
She used to find it extremely satisfying to read novels like this and see the villains reap what they sow.
However, when the "bad guy" turned out to be someone she was close to, Jiang Feiyan couldn't accept it.
The Zhou family had been so kind to her, and she was as close as sisters with Sister Linghui.
She truly couldn't bear to watch the other person suffer such a tragic end.
But what should we do...?
Jiang Feiyan quickly asked, "Aunt Wu, where is Sister Linghui going to go to the countryside?"
Aunt Wu sighed, "They said it's located in a small county town in Jiang City, I think it's called Guiyan Village in Guanshan Commune."
"Really!" Jiang Feiyan's eyes lit up with joy: "That's exactly the same place as me, just a different village."
The village she's going to work in is called Guishi Village. Judging from the name, it's probably not far away, so she'll be able to see Sister Linghui more often.
Then she can brainwash the other person from time to time, trying to pull her out of the fire pit.
It would be best to keep Linghui away from the male and female leads as much as possible and not get involved in those storylines, so that the tragedy can be avoided.
Jiang Feiyan's eyes were firm; she had her first goal for going to the countryside.
That is... saving Zhou Linghui, who is obsessed with love!
No matter the outcome, she was determined to give it her all!
