After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes

May 1967

Chaoyang Commune in Southwest City.

A soft, baby boy's voice rang out from a small room in the Banzhulin Brigade.

"Mom, get up and eat," a cute little boy of about four or five years old said, peeking out from the slightly ajar doorway of the room.

Seeing that the woman on the bed did not move, he stumbled over the threshold, wanting to go into the room to see his sick mother.

The woman on the bed heard the noise and opened her eyes. Looking at the old wooden planks of the ceiling, she turned her head to look at the small figure at the door, somewhat dazed: "This is... Xiao Anlin?" Not the grown-up Anlin?

Where is she? She seems familiar. Shouldn't she be floating beside An Lin?

Yes, it was floating, floating around my son so lightly, without any sense of weight.

She slowly turned her head and saw her son's rosy, glowing cheeks, chubby and plump, unlike the sensitive, timid, and thin boy he would become later.

Luo Anlin is the son of Zeng Min and Luo Qicai. The two had been married for many years, but Luo Qicai abandoned his wife and son just as his career was starting to take off.

That's how Zeng Min publicized him, and of course, that's true.

As a result, only six months after his divorce, he was killed by Luo Qicai's vicious wife.

'It's like hunting geese all day long, only to have your eyes pecked by one!' Zeng Min thought bitterly.

I originally thought that as long as I controlled Luo Qicai, I could get his salary and live a carefree and comfortable life without having to work in the fields.

After all, they had been married for three years. After the divorce, she would have received all of Luo Qicai's assets and a third of his future salary.

He used to hand over all his salary to himself, and with his own savings, plus a third of his future salary, it would be equivalent to the monthly wage of an apprentice.

The higher his salary, the more she will receive. Even if she doesn't get married, she can raise herself and her child to be healthy and well-fed, without having to deal with a wicked mother-in-law and terrible relatives.

Life is simply perfect.

Who knows if he forgot to guard against his wicked and ugly wife?

Zeng Min thought to herself, "It seems I haven't mastered the art of cultivation yet."

……

That makes sense! Zeng Min's first half of life was truly smooth sailing and extremely fulfilling! It's fair to say that she never experienced the slightest bit of hardship in life.

Although she was born into a traditional family with a slightly patriarchal and deeply ingrained traditional values.

But Zeng Minsheng was beautiful, and people couldn't help but be drawn to her; she was like a tender sprout, full of vitality and freshness.

With her pretty face and eloquent, clever mouth, she successfully won the hearts and affections of her family.

She was on par with her older and younger brothers in terms of status, and her parents even subtly favored her.

It can only be said that Zeng Min's rambling was very successful. She frequently brainwashed her parents.

It must be admitted that Zeng Min's daily brainwashing was effective; she often used examples from her own life to tell her parents.

For example, a family in the next village painstakingly raised their son to adulthood.

I thought I could enjoy my old age in peace, with a filial son and successful descendants.

Unexpectedly, their daughter-in-law sowed discord between them, causing estrangement and conflict between their son and grandson.

Every day I have to help them with their work, and if I don't get enough work points, I have to watch my son and daughter-in-law's moods when it comes to eating and resting.

For example, in the family next door, the old mother is bedridden and unable to take care of herself, her son doesn't care about her, and her daughter-in-law avoids her because she thinks it's disgusting.

Isn't it still the married daughter who takes care of them? Tell me, in what way is a daughter less important than a son?

As for the issue of carrying on the family line, each generation has its own things to worry about.

You only need to take care of yourself while you're alive! When you get old, can't work, or are about to die, where will you have the energy to care about carrying on the family line?

When you get old, all you need to care about is who can take care of you.

A daughter is so thoughtful and caring. She doesn't mind if you're dirty or old. She does everything from washing clothes to feeding you.

You said your son has grown up, and now that you're old, will he still take such good care of you?

As for her future daughter-in-law, she'll say that you didn't raise her, and your son doesn't care about you, so why should she care about you?

Just because you're nice to them now, do you really think they'll treat you the same way in the future?

No matter how bad your daughter is, she's still your child. There's a bloodline connection; if you treat her well now, won't she take care of you in the future?

Some things you won't know if you don't think about them; the more they're mentioned, the more you'll think about them.

After all, people are inherently selfish.

When it comes to their own interests and gains, people tend to become exceptionally sensitive and cautious. Only when something doesn't happen to them can they maintain a detached, objective perspective and remain so-called calm and rational.

However, once this actually happens to them, they probably won't be so calm anymore.

At that time, they may be caught in endless entanglement and struggle, trying every means to protect their own rights, even at the expense of the interests of others.

This weakness of human nature may be the root of the complexity and variability of humankind.

After years of brainwashing, although he wouldn't be overly biased, he didn't mistreat his own daughter either.

Zeng Min, in particular, was born with a beautiful and charming appearance. Perhaps because of this, her parents placed high hopes on her, expecting to gain more from her.

After all, how could one not look forward to such a naturally beautiful daughter?

Perhaps they hoped to use their daughter's beauty to obtain better living conditions; or perhaps they wanted to use her beauty to marry her off to a better family and change their current situation.

However, only Zeng Min's parents themselves probably know the true thoughts behind this.

For Zeng Min, this expectation from her family can better change her current situation.

As for whether it will bring actual benefits to the family in the future, that's another matter entirely. After all, the future is full of countless variables and unknowns, and no one can accurately predict how things will ultimately develop.

Perhaps one day she will be able to marry into the city, bringing benefits to her family and helping her brothers, but she may also just live a mediocre and uneventful life.

Of course, Zeng Min did not disappoint her family's expectations.

Because she started school late, after graduating from elementary school, the only junior high school nearby was too far from home, and her family couldn't afford to send her to school anymore, so she had to stay at home for two or three years.

When it came time to arrange a marriage for her, she didn't wait for her parents to make the arrangements.

Zeng Min secretly inquired in the village about which families in the vicinity had the best living conditions and whether anyone worked in the city.

Through unremitting efforts.

They finally found out that in the neighboring Banzhulin Brigade, there was a large family with a young man named Luo Qicai, who was eighteen or nineteen years old and worked in a machinery factory in the county town.

During the famine of 1959, his family traded grain for a job. Because the village was nestled against the mountains, although they didn't have enough to eat, they wouldn't starve. So his mother used the few dozen kilograms of grain they had left to give him an apprenticeship opportunity.

He lived up to expectations; despite not having graduated from junior high school, he still managed to become a full-time employee within two years thanks to his diligent work ethic.

In 1961, shortly after the famine, he used two years' worth of wages to give away to the public school as a favor his family had done for him by helping him find a job.

This also silenced the complaints of the women in their wives' families, since two years' wages could be exchanged for a few dozen kilograms of grain.

Furthermore, I'll be giving half of my salary to my family from now on. So my family won't have any objections.

Every two years, he would give half of his salary to his family and keep the other half for his wedding.

The price has increased from 18 yuan at the beginning to 22 yuan now, which has greatly improved his family's situation.

He has been working in the city for two years, and his family is well-off.

So Zeng Min set her sights on Luo Qicai.
