Chapter 8: Encountering the Male and Female Leads



After being tricked back to her hometown by her older sister and brother-in-law in her previous life, she never saw them again. They probably all thought she had died in the countryside and would never have imagined that her older sister and brother-in-law had conspired to give her away, never giving them a chance to meet.

Thinking of this, Wenxi couldn't sleep. She hurriedly got up, put on her coat, took some manuscript paper and placed it on her textbook, and began to write.

She deliberately had her eldest sister intercept this first letter, so she didn't write anything else, just some ordinary greetings and thoughts of longing, so as not to arouse her sister's suspicion.

Next time, I'll write a real letter to my second brother and parents, telling them about how my eldest sister secretly signed her up to go to the countryside.

She is seven years younger than her older sister. She really doesn't know what she did to offend her older sister so much that her sister treats her like this. She has only graduated from high school a few months ago and still has time to find a job. She doesn't know why her older sister is so eager to sign her up for a rural job.

After finishing the letter, Wenxi folded it neatly and put it in the pocket of her cotton-padded coat. Then she blew out the candle on the bedside table and lay down to rest.

Maybe it was because I was too tired from the long train ride, but I slept really well and slept straight through until dawn, when I was woken up by noises from home.

Wen Xi lay in bed, stretched comfortably, and then slowly got up. She went to the main room and saw Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue squatting on the floor packing their things. Wen Xi smiled and asked, "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, did you sleep well last night?"

Shen Jiaojiao stood up and said excitedly, "I slept really well, but I couldn't fall asleep again after midnight. Xiaoxi, thank you so much. You finished everything after we fell asleep yesterday. Thank you for your hard work."

"Since you care about me so much, then you two can take care of things at home today. I'm going to town anyway." Wenxi yawned widely and went to the kitchen. She lifted the pot lid and saw that sweet potato porridge was already cooking inside. She nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, she wasn't the only one putting in the work for the family.

Wenxi scooped hot water from another pot, brushed her teeth and washed her face. Then she went back to her room to apply face cream and tied her hair into two simple ponytails. There was a female protagonist from the 21st century in this village. She didn't dare to be too extravagant for fear of being recognized, so she styled her hair in the most common way in this era.

As the three of them sat together eating breakfast, Wenxi asked, "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, aren't you two coming to town with me?"

Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly waved her hand, "I'm not going, my legs are still weak!"

Jiang Yue also quickly shook her head, "I don't want to run anymore, I'll go in a few days!"

Wen Xi nodded. "Okay, you two rest well at home. We'll talk about anything else when I get back. Oh, and if any other educated youth come over, don't open the door for them, and definitely don't let them visit our rooms."

Having lived in a youth settlement for two years in her previous life, she knew those people there all too well.

Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue both nodded repeatedly, "Xiaoxi, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of our home."

After finishing breakfast and putting down her chopsticks, Wenxi, seeing that time was running out, hurried off. As soon as she left the courtyard, she ran towards the place at the village entrance where she could catch an oxcart.

When Wenxi reached the place where the oxcart was, she was already panting heavily. This was mainly because she hadn't trained in this life, so her physique was just average, unlike in her previous life when she did farm work and had already developed a strong physique.

The old man on the oxcart looked at the unfamiliar Wenxi and asked, "Comrade, are you a new educated youth who arrived yesterday?"

Wenxi took out two White Rabbit milk candies and put them into the old man's hand, smiling as she said, "Grandpa, hello, I'm Wenxi, a new educated youth who arrived yesterday."

"A round trip in an oxcart costs one cent," the old man said.

Wen Xi took out a dime and handed it to the old man. Then she found a place to sit down. After a while, she saw the original female lead, Lin Yiwan, and the original male lead, Xia Minglei, walking side by side towards her. Wen Xi's eyes widened in surprise. She never expected that on the second day of her trip to the countryside, she would encounter the legendary female lead with an incredible cheat ability, as well as the male lead.

Lin Yiwan is the same age as Wen Xi, both sixteen years old this year, while the male lead Xia Minglei is four years older than Lin Yiwan, twenty years old this year. The male lead has not yet realized that he likes the female lead and cannot live without her, so he has not confessed yet. However, they have feelings for each other and are just waiting for the female lead's childhood friend to provoke him so that he can finally break through that barrier.

Lin Yiwan transmigrated here when she was nine years old, and is now sixteen. That means the female lead has been here for seven years. Through her hard work over these seven years, several members of her family have found jobs in the city and have become the richest family in the Fengshou Brigade. Countless families secretly envy and are jealous of her family.

"Xiao Wan, Comrade Xia, get in the car quickly, we're about to leave," the old man called out.

Lin Yiwan and Xia Minglei walked quickly over. As soon as Lin Yiwan sat on the oxcart, Wen Xi could clearly smell the perfume. Wen Xi was a little surprised. Wasn't the female lead's cheat ability an automatic planting space? How could she have such a nice-smelling perfume? Could it be that the automatic planting space could produce perfume?

Wenxi remained huddled in a corner, trying to minimize her presence, and had no interest in appreciating the scenery on either side.

The female lead's soul is actually a woman over thirty years old. She died before she was thirty in her previous life, meaning that the soul is younger than the female lead. So, the soul needs to be careful to avoid being noticed by the female lead.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female. She and the female lead are two tigresses, so only one can survive. She should be careful, as she doesn't want to die young again.

Fortunately, Lin Yiwan was so engrossed in chatting with Xia Minglei that she didn't notice Wen Xi's presence. Perhaps in Lin Yiwan's mind, everyone in this world is just a passerby, and she doesn't care about them at all!

After all, in order to highlight her happiness, the author wrote everyone else as very tragic.

Several tens of minutes later, the oxcart arrived in town. Everyone got off the oxcart and then dispersed. Wenxi also hurried towards the supply and marketing cooperative. She had been here in her previous life and was very familiar with the place.

The supply and marketing cooperative, post office, bathhouse... are all in that area, not far from each other, just a few minutes' walk away.

Arriving at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wenxi saw a large crowd inside, so she turned around and headed straight for the post office. She mailed the letter first, and then spent twenty yuan to buy a large stack of old stamps.

She doesn't have the female lead's powerful cheat ability. Her daily check-in system can only check out one thing a day, so it's impossible for her to make a lot of money. Therefore, she can't miss any opportunity to make money, just like these stamps. The original text says that they will be especially valuable decades later.
