Quick Transmigration: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack, A Guide to Cunning Strat

After finishing her meal, Xu Shuwan went home as usual.

As soon as she entered the room, a rough, large hand slapped her face, and she was knocked to the ground by the force.

Grandma Xu was still not satisfied. She grabbed a broom from the side and started swiping it at Xu Shuwan, cursing, "You brat, I'll teach you to steal money! I'll teach you to steal money! Did you steal that ten-yuan note on your bed from my room?" But before the broom could hit Xu Shuwan, it suddenly broke.

Xu Shuwan squatted down, covered her head with the firewood on her back, and whispered, "I didn't steal it, this is my money."

When Grandma Xu saw that the broom was broken, she angrily threw it away and grabbed the girl's hair with one hand while secretly applying pressure to her body with the other: "Pah, where did you get this money? You stole it from me, you brat, you've really grown up!"

Grandma Xu's money wasn't actually missing, but she didn't believe it was Xu Shuwan's own money. She thought it was the private money of the first or third wife that she had accidentally found.

But Grandma Xu felt that since she had found the money, it should be handed over to her. She was only hitting Xu Shuwan to force Xu Shuwan to admit that the money was hers so that she could take it away with a clear conscience.

When Xu Shuwan was beaten, Grandpa Xu and the people from the first and third branches of the family stood by indifferently and watched. Several children clapped their hands excitedly and surrounded her, shouting, "The jinx has been beaten! The jinx has been beaten!"

Xu Shuwan couldn't reveal her affair with wild game and Song Qinian, so she kept quiet. Grandma Xu, seeing she couldn't get anything out of her and exhausted from hitting her, stopped and yelled at her, "You're always like a dead person, never uttering a sound. Now you've even learned to steal my money! Forget about your food, get out!"

【Wanwan, are you alright? It's all my fault for being so useless. Pain shielding requires level 2 to activate. Are you okay?】

(It's okay, don't worry.)

Grandma Xu was indeed skilled at pinching people. Xu Shuwan rested on the ground for a while before slowly getting up. Sure enough, the bed had been ransacked—the sheets were dirty and lying on the ground, and the pillows and blankets were torn to shreds.

Xu Shuwan picked up the bed sheet, casually patted it aside, and then lay down on the bed without using the sheet, starting to think about the day's events.

She deliberately left part of the money visible under her pillow. Grandma Xu would definitely come to get firewood when she was cooking, so there was a high chance that she would see it and get a beating.

As for the reason, the original owner had been bullied since childhood and had become accustomed to it. At this time, she needed an external force to push her and help her get rid of the Xu family. The best external force would be Song Qinian.

Moreover, Song Qinian is warm on the outside but cold on the inside. Cooking for him alone will definitely not win him over. This is a good opportunity to make him put more effort into her. Once he has put in so much effort that he can't bear to let go, he will be able to truly put her in his heart.

Five more days passed, and when Song Qinian arrived at the agreed place again, Xu Shuwan was already roasting a rabbit.

She sat there quietly, occasionally brushing a layer of honey onto the rabbit's surface, but her movements were slightly unnatural, and bruises on her arms and redness on her other cheek were occasionally visible.

Song Qinian looked at Xu Shuwan and suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about leaving the Xu family and living on your own?"

He was stunned for a moment after saying that. He wasn't someone who was easily moved by sympathy, and he had seen people who were worse off than Xu Shuwan. He himself wasn't doing that well either. There were so many people in this world who were struggling, and he couldn't possibly care about them all.

So he always presented himself as gentle, watching them indifferently, without interfering or paying attention.

However, perhaps it was the aroma of the rabbit leg that captivated him, or perhaps it was the fact that Xu Shuwan didn't say anything and acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to cook for him as usual, that touched him and made him unable to resist saying something.

Seeing that Xu Shuwan did not react, Song Qinian was a little annoyed, but he didn't say anything more: "Never mind, forget I said anything."

The two finished their meal in silence. As they were about to part, Xu Shuwan tugged at Song Qinian's sleeve, forced herself to look up, met his gaze, and then immediately lowered her head again, asking, "Song, Song, the educated youth, could you teach me to read?"

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Xu Shuwan let go of his hand with some disappointment, as if all the courage she had managed to muster had been punctured: "I'm sorry, it was me, I disturbed you."

Song Qinian, who had already given up on getting involved, softened when he saw her like this: "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Shuwan looked up in surprise, her eyes shining, and she couldn't help but grab his sleeve and say, "Really? Thank you, Song Zhiqing, you are such a good person."

Song Qinian looked at his slightly wrinkled clothes with a hint of helplessness and said, "The time and place are the same. I'll prepare the books and come back to teach you in five days, okay?"

"Yes, thank you, Song Zhiqing."
