“What’s the hurry? There’s still plenty of time. Let’s talk about it after I’m on vacation.”
Jiang Yue rubbed her belly, feeling immensely pleased with herself. See? With just a little effort, hadn’t Wang Hesong fallen right into her hands?
“I’ve already taken care of things on my end. What about your engagement...” Wang Hesong continued.
Jiang Yue did not take it seriously at all. “I’m already carrying your child. How could I possibly marry Han Shiguo? Don’t worry. My marriage to Han Shiguo won’t happen. I don’t like him either, and I certainly won’t marry him. My parents already went to break off the engagement today!”
No one knew that she had transmigrated into a novel, entering an unfinished serialized story she had just read.
It was truly inconceivable, but there was no doubt that she had transmigrated into a book.
Transmigrating into a book would not have been a big deal in itself, but she had ended up as a cannon fodder supporting character whose purpose was to highlight the female protagonist, Gu Yunlan.
According to the plot, she would soon marry Han Shiguo. After marrying him, she would accompany the army with him.
But after accompanying the army, she would be reduced to a foil for the female protagonist, Gu Yunlan, in the novel—someone specifically meant to make Gu Yunlan look better!
Gu Yunlan could sing and dance, was dazzlingly charming, and was the star performer of the Cultural Troupe. As for Jiang Yue, all she did was gossip with the aunties and older women in the courtyard house.
Most importantly, in the latest chapter she had read, Han Shiguo had unfortunately died in the line of duty while out on a mission!
In other words, if she married Han Shiguo, she would become a widow!
If not for that, she really would have wanted to meet Gu Yunlan, the female protagonist of the original novel, in person and see what ability she had to suppress her.
But when she thought about becoming a widow after marrying Han Shiguo, she simply gave up on the idea!
But if she did not marry Han Shiguo, she had to find someone suitable to marry, because she was no longer young!
She looked around, and in the end, her gaze landed on Jiang Qian, this younger female cousin’s partner.
Jiang Yue was at least a supporting character who ranked among the more prominent ones in the novel. But Jiang Qian, this younger female cousin, was a genuine minor background character.
The book mentioned her in only a few brief strokes, saying that she was content with her lot and led a peaceful, prosperous life after marrying into the Wang family in town.
Her husband also rose steadily through the ranks and later became the town’s top leader.
Jiang Qian was what people in the later age would call a small-town socialite.
That was the only advance description of her entire life. Nothing more.
After Jiang Yue transmigrated into the book and assessed her circumstances, she immediately set her sights on Wang Hesong.
She was someone who had transmigrated into a novel. Even if she could not deal with the original female protagonist, Gu Yunlan, surely she could deal with Jiang Qian, this minor background character?
So she took action. Under the halo of a transmigrated heroine, Wang Hesong, a small-town top official with a promising future, had no power to resist and was easily won over by her.
By now, there was an eighty-to-ninety-percent chance that she was already pregnant with Wang Hesong’s child.
She had not gone for an examination yet, but her period was several days late. Moreover, ever since she and Wang Hesong had consummated their relationship in the small woods, she had acquired a taste for it, and they had done it several more times afterward. Getting pregnant was nothing surprising!
“You’ve been engaged for three years, and I heard that soldier is about to return. Will the Han family agree to break off the engagement?” Wang Hesong pursed his lips as he spoke.
“Even if they don’t agree, it still has to be broken off. I’m not marrying him!” Jiang Yue snorted, then looked at him with a smile. “I only want to marry you.”
Wang Hesong was not very happy. In his heart, he deeply regretted how he had lost his senses and failed to restrain himself back then...
But he still said aloud, “Mm, don’t worry. When the time comes, I’ll definitely marry you in grand style!”
Jiang Yue was not inferior to Jiang Qian in any way, but for some reason, he felt a little dejected.
After all, he was the one who had wronged Jiang Qian.
Jiang Yue had no idea what he was thinking and was very satisfied with his words.
As a transmigrated heroine, she was the one with the female protagonist’s aura. What was Jiang Qian? A mere cannon fodder!
Jiang Qian still had no idea that her older female cousin had stolen her man.
As for the fact that Wang Hesong, that scumbag, had not wanted to go on a blind date with her, it had not stirred even the slightest ripple in her heart.
However, she had switched classes with a colleague today, so she did not need to come to work tomorrow.
After finishing today’s lessons, Jiang Qian said goodbye to her colleagues in the office. “Teacher Huang, Teacher Chen, I’m heading home.”
“All right, take care. We’re heading home too.”
Everyone exchanged greetings with one another.
Jiang Qian smiled, picked up her personal cloth bag, and leisurely headed home.
On the way home, there were quite a few students she was currently teaching or had taught before. Whenever they saw her, they called out, “Hello, Teacher Jiang!”
Jiang Qian smiled at the adorable, simple-hearted students. “Hello.”
There were also village children from the Five-Star Brigade who were heading home together. Some children were afraid of their teacher and quickly hid when they saw her, but others were not afraid.
They would even come over to chat with her and ask her to explain questions.
Jiang Qian answered them one by one.
Her home was not in town but in the countryside’s Five-Star Brigade.
Jiang Qian was not a native of this place either. She had transmigrated here two years ago.
When she arrived through transmigration, the township primary school happened to be recruiting teachers, so she signed up without hesitation.
After defeating the other applicants, she was selected!
Although her current life was completely different from her previous one, after two years, she had thoroughly adapted to living in this harsh era.
In her previous life, she had become a food blogger immediately after graduating. Thanks to her excellent cooking skills and management, she had been a blogger with more than a million followers on every account—whether on certain domestic video and book platforms or foreign websites.
Her everyday life consisted of making food, studying foreign languages, and reading novels. It had truly been easy and carefree.
But for some reason, a spatial storage suddenly appeared one day.
Because she loved reading novels, she knew that this meant Heaven was about to entrust her with a great responsibility!
Without a second thought, she began gathering supplies, filling the roughly one-hundred-cubic-meter space completely.
Rice, flour, oil, salt, pots, bowls, ladles, and basins, along with all kinds of delicious prepared food for times when cooking was inconvenient, plus personal necessities, medicine, and so on.
She prepared everything.
Fearing that she would lack liquid funds later, leaving her money unusable, she also bought quite a lot of gold!
For example, gold bracelets, gold necklaces, and gold rings. They were small and convenient to exchange.
Gold was hard currency, accepted throughout the world from ancient times to the present. Once she had stored enough supplies, putting away some of this as well would help in case of emergencies!
She spent nearly all the savings she had accumulated as a blogger without hesitation. But because she had prepared so thoroughly, Jiang Qian truly felt not the slightest bit of panic!
That night, after finishing her preparations, she slept soundly.
Sure enough, the moment she opened her eyes, she had truly arrived in the 1960s.
But she suspected that this might actually be her own body, because it looked far too similar.
Not only was the name exactly the same, but even her appearance was identical. She had a red, heart-shaped birthmark the size of a peanut on her chest, one she had been born with, and even that was exactly the same!
Her personality and the way she conducted herself were also not very different.
So after transmigrating here, she did not treat herself as an outsider at all. She felt that she was Jiang Qian, only with a somewhat weak body in this lifetime.
But after she transmigrated here, she could clearly feel her body improving day by day.
Having read thousands of novels, she sensed that perhaps the original owner had been weak because her soul was incomplete?
