Chapter 3 Why is she cannon fodder? Making money and turning her life around.



Lin Qiuru is so kind, Cheng Xiaokui wants to repay Lin Qiuru and wants to take Lin Qiuru back to the capital for medical treatment!

There are also two children who have spent their whole lives farming. If they could be brought back to the capital to study, their fates could be changed!

Also, how is she going to save Si Muyang?

According to the book, Si Muyang will be shot early the day after tomorrow.

Although Si Muyang survived this time, he injured his spine and spent three years in a wheelchair, almost becoming disabled. It was the female lead, Song Yalan, who took care of him for those three years.

She wanted to help Si Muyang escape this calamity as compensation for him.

It has to be said that this village is really poor. Every household lives in an adobe house. The most respectable houses in the village are the three brick houses of the village branch.

The roads in the village are all dirt roads, and the fields have cracked in many places due to two consecutive years of drought.

She walked along the ridge of the field, looking at the vast fields of soybeans that were about to be harvested, while behind her, the village women pointed and cursed.

"What a scourge! They already had a poor harvest, and they stole so many of our soybeans, yet they didn't die from overeating!"

"What a disaster! How did she end up in our village? The other educated youth in the village are all well-educated and reasonable!"

"Have you heard? Chief Si and she got divorced!"

"Really? You're really divorced? Cheating on your husband! Bah! Hahaha!"

Cheng Xiao Kui stood on the edge of the field and did a stretching exercise, ignoring the chatter behind her.

Men are something only someone with a romantic mind would think about.

What does a cannon fodder female supporting character like her want from the male lead?

Instead of thinking about the male lead, think about getting rich!

With enough money, even a supporting female character can live a more dazzling life than the female lead!

What kind of business are you doing?

The key issue is that she is now penniless, her pockets are emptier than her face.

It's easy to go from little to much, but difficult to go from nothing to something!

She had neither funds nor projects, and in this era where every penny had to be carefully calculated, making money was like climbing to the sky!

She wandered around the village until sunset. The village was so poor that it didn't even have streetlights. As soon as the sun went down, the sky immediately turned pitch black.

She ran home quickly, and on the wooden table in the main room was a large, chipped porcelain bowl with two potatoes inside.

Lin Qiuru sat on a creaking wooden chair, mending clothes for her two children by the dim light of an oil lamp.

Xiaolongbao reached out to take another potato for her younger sister.

Lin Qiuru said, "Leave two for your mom! You guys eat some wild vegetables; she has a big appetite and will probably be hungry soon."

Xiaolongbao snorted and said, "Grandma, she's not my mom. She's divorced from Dad!"

Lin Qiuru said, "Even if you're divorced, you still have to call her 'Mom'!"

He said, "Brother! Don't call me by the wrong name, she'll get angry and hit you with a fire poker! It hurts!"

As she spoke, she hugged herself with her arms and couldn't help but shiver.

Cheng Xiao Kui walked into the main room and said, "It's okay, calling me 'sister' is the same. We're divorced anyway. I'm not hungry, you two can each have one of these potatoes."

You're still young, and it's a time when you're growing, so you need to eat more!

She sat down in the chair next to Lin Qiuru and asked, "Mom, do we only have potatoes at home?"

Xiaolongbao spat out the potato in his mouth, "Pah! So you were thinking about something else!"

Cheng Xiao Kui looked at Xiao Long Bao with the eyes of a little wolf cub, as if he wanted to tear a piece of flesh from her.

She waved her hand and said, "I'm not thinking about anything else. I just want to ask if there's anything else to eat besides potatoes? I'm wondering how I can earn some money?"

Xiao Long Bao rolled his eyes to the sky, chewing on his potato, and grumbled, "You make money? Ha, you're lucky you don't steal other kids' money!"

The village chief said that we didn't burn enough incense during our village's ancestral worship, which is why we were blessed with a scourge like you!

Cheng Xiao Kui pressed her throbbing temples with her fingers and said, "Do you want to eat xiaolongbao with your sister? Do you want to have rice and wheat flour to eat in the future? Do you want to go to school in the capital in the future?"

"If you want to, shut up and work with me in a bit! I need to earn some money for my family!"

Xiao Long Bao stared blankly at Cheng Xiao Kui. He and his sister had always wanted to go to school, but there was no school in their village, and they had to walk a long way through the mountains to get there...

Moreover, in their village, even those who go to school only finish primary school at most before returning home to farm...

She pursed her lips and said, "I want to go to the capital! I want to go to the capital to find my father!"

Cheng Xiao Kui reached out and touched his head, though he still instinctively shrank back, shrinking his neck.

But this time she didn't dodge too badly, and she finally managed to touch his head.

Cheng Xiao Kui rubbed her thin, soft, and yellowish hair, which was clearly due to malnutrition.

She said, "Once we make money, we'll go to the capital. Not only will we be able to find your father, but you can also go to school there!"

Studying in the capital city gives you a chance to get into university! Don't you want to become as capable as your father?!

They nodded their little heads vigorously at Xiaolongbao.

Lin Qiuru said, "Making money? How are you going to make money? We have nothing but potatoes at home. Oh, right, we also have about twenty sweet potatoes."

Isn't doing business a mistake? Aren't you afraid of being arrested?!

Cheng Xiaokui said, "Mom, I'm not afraid! Our current policy is to develop the individual economy, let some people get rich first, and let the rich help the poor get rich."

Although this document has not yet been sent to the village, it has already been announced in the big city!

If people in big cities can do small businesses, why can't we?

Even if I make a mistake, it's my fault alone. Si Muyang and I are divorced, so whatever I do has nothing to do with him.

I have an idea: I want to make a lot of money and take you and our two children back to the capital!

"You're too old; you can't do the physical labor in the village! Besides, you'll see Si Muyang more often in the capital!"

When Lin Qiuru heard that she could see her son more often, her eyes seemed to light up with hope.

Who wouldn't want to go to a big city? Who wouldn't want to stay with their son? But is that realistic?

She shook her head and said, "Xiao Kui, are you talking in your sleep?"

Cheng Xiao Kui said, "I wasn't talking in my sleep! It's just that we only have potatoes and sweet potatoes at home..."

She sat on a small stool, propping her legs up with her elbows and resting her chin on her palms, pondering how to make money with potatoes and sweet potatoes.

She suddenly exclaimed, "I've got it! We can make money with potatoes! We can make fried potato chips!"

"Mom, have you ever had fried potato chips? Fried potato chips are so fragrant and delicious!"

Lin Qiuru said, "I've never eaten fried potato chips before. But they sound delicious. But where can I get the oil?! There's only a bottle of oil left at home, and I can only use a few drops each time."

Cheng Xiao Kui patted her cheeks; she had completely forgotten about it.

Now we don't just lack food, we don't even have oil...

Her eyes narrowed slightly, if there was no oil...

Cheng Xiao Kui felt suffocated and wanted to die. She had nothing, so how could she turn her life around?!

Could it be that by taking on this cannon fodder character, she's destined not to survive even one episode?
