Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Revenge

"I know, I know," Chen Hehua readily agreed.

She added, "Be careful when you leave, don't let anyone see you."

"Alright, Auntie, I'll come back in a few days."

After being persuaded by Chen Hehua, Chen Dahu secretly left again under cover of night.

Hearing the sounds outside, Qi Ning closed the door to her room and bolted it from the inside.

She didn't actually come to the sunflower field; she just made up an excuse to temporarily appease Chen Hehua and Chen Dahu.

Qi Ning sat back down on the bed and began contacting the system.

"system."

"Host, I'm here!"

The system appeared immediately.

Qi Ning smoothed the blankets and lay down on the bed: "What about the mission?"

The system replied: "Host, there are only two missions in this world: a revenge mission and a strategy mission to collect love points."

"Revenge mission: The original owner requested to take revenge on Chen Hehua, Chen Dahu, Meng Jiyang, and the entire Qi family."

Strategy objective: Target Meng Shaoqing.

The system had barely finished speaking when it started complaining to itself, "So many people are the targets of this revenge."

Upon hearing the words "many people," Qi Ning couldn't help but chuckle.

"As long as you know."

"Hehe, but this is all based on reason and evidence, not just nonsense. Host, let me explain slowly."

The system explained in detail: "Chen Hehua and Chen Dahu were the first targets of revenge. There's no need to say more. The original owner was killed by them. Moreover, in the two years before the original owner died, he suffered a lot from the wicked mother-in-law Chen Hehua."

After the original owner married into the Meng family, Chen Hehua, relying on her status as the mother-in-law, not only made the original owner serve her, but also made the original owner do housework, farm work, and weave cloth to sell and supplement the family income.

That's not all; she also looked down on the original owner of the body, frequently beating and scolding her, and planned to divorce her after Meng Jiyang passed the imperial examination.

Qi Ning wholeheartedly agreed: "This Chen Hehua is indeed no good person."

"That's right."

The system continued, "Meng Jiyang, in order to curry favor with the powerful, abandoned his wife and mother, and sent a fake death letter, which was the root cause of the original owner's tragic death."

"And then there's the Qi family. In order to get a wife for their son, they swapped the original owner's daughter with them. After learning that the original owner had been killed by the Meng family, they actually forgave them generously."

"Their two families are living in harmony, while the original owner's world is filled with misfortune. How could she not be angry? How could she not want revenge?"

"Hmm," Qi Ning responded. "Are there any specific requirements? Did the original owner want to kill them all?"

"That's not it."

The system said, "The original owner's revenge against Chen Hehua, Chen Dahu, and Meng Jiyang was to kill them. As for the Qi family, although the original owner did not want them dead, he did not want them to have an easy time either."

"Oh."

Qi Ning asked again, "What about the romance quest? Who is Meng Shaoqing, the romance target? I don't think he's mentioned in the original story."

“This Meng Shaoqing is just a minor cannon fodder,” the system said. “He only appeared once in the original story, later in the story, when Meng Jiyang mentioned him.”

In the original storyline, Mengjia Village only had two scholars: Meng Jiyang and Meng Shaoqing.

Although Meng Jiyang's father had passed away a few years ago, he still had his mother, sister, and wife to support him and help him go to the capital for the imperial examination.

Meng Shaoqing's background is much more tragic than Meng Jiyang's.

His mother died in childbirth, and although his father raised him, he was a gambler who left him with a mountain of debt before he died.

Because of the debts his father owed, his relatives and even people in the village distanced themselves from him, fearing they would be implicated.

Qi Ning was puzzled when she heard this: "Since Meng Shaoqing's mother died in childbirth and his father was a gambler, how did he pass the imperial examination and become a scholar?"

Logically speaking, it would be good enough if someone could grow up smoothly in such a family.

The system replied, "It was his grandfather who taught him to read. His grandfather used to be a private tutor in the village, but he passed away a long time ago."

"Oh, that's terrible."

"In fact, Meng Shaoqing's talent is more outstanding than Meng Jiyang's. In the original story, Meng Jiyang only passed the imperial examination as an ordinary scholar because of the manipulation of the official in the Ministry of Personnel, but Meng Shaoqing passed the examination as the top scholar on his own merit."

"However, in order to repay the debts his father owed, he took the imperial examination a few years later than Meng Jiyang. Although he passed the examination later, he eventually became a higher-ranking official than Qi Yan and Meng Jiyang, and became the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet."

Upon hearing this, Qi Ning understood. Meng Shaoqing was an honest scholar with a more upright mind than Meng Jiyang. At least he knew to repay his father's debts before leaving to take the imperial examination.

"Honest people are probably easy to fool."

Qi Ning's period is only a few days long, and he needs to deal with Chen Hehua and Chen Dahu within these few days. He also needs to make contact with Meng Shaoqing as soon as possible. Time is of the essence.

The next morning.

Qi Ning got up early and lived according to the original owner's original lifestyle.

Seeing that she had no intention of running away, Chen Hehua finally felt relieved.

That makes sense. Qi Ning's family is gone, and Chen Hehua has been keeping a close eye on her these past few years. It's impossible for her to have a lover outside. The money she earns from weaving is all kept by Chen Hehua, so she can't run away even if she wanted to.

While eating breakfast, Qi Ning looked up at the weather outside.

The weather is pretty good today.

She asked the system, "Where is Meng Shaoqing today?"

This Meng Shaoqing usually works as a teacher in the village's private school, and at night he copies books for people at home. When he has free time, he also goes to the mountains to find some herbs to sell at the town's pharmacy.

It could be said that he worked three jobs to pay off the gambling debts left by his father.

Meng Shaoqing was very busy and rarely had any free time. When he did have free time, he would stay at home reading and copying books, and he didn't interact much with the people in the village.

As for the original owner, not long after she married into the family, Meng Jiyang went to the capital to take the imperial examination. Chen Hehua was afraid that she would be unable to bear the loneliness and have an affair, so he kept a close eye on her, and she rarely had the opportunity to go out for a stroll.

Therefore, even though the original owner had been married into Mengjia Village for two years, she had only met Meng Shaoqing a few times, let alone spoken to him. The two of them were practically strangers.

The system told Qi Ning: "Host, the village school is closed today. Meng Shaoqing knows some common medicinal herbs, so he went up the mountain to collect them."

After receiving the news, Qi Ning finished breakfast, grabbed a bamboo basket, and prepared to go out.

"Mother, I'm going to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables."

Chen Hehua lay on the bamboo chair and waved her hand: "Go, but come back quickly. Come back early to weave cloth and don't wander around outside."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Qi Ning taking paper money from the cabinet.

Chen Hehua sat up: "What are you doing with the paper money?"

Qi Ning lowered her head, her tone revealing sadness: "I want to go up the mountain to burn some paper money for my husband, but my mother said I can't burn it at home, or the neighbors will find out. So I have to go up the mountain to find a place to burn it secretly, otherwise my husband won't have any money to use over there."
