I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 3: Passing through 70 Small Villages

Watching as her space got everything needed for eating, drinking, having fun, and living comfortably, she began to work on getting a house in the countryside. For 380,000 yuan, she bought a Chinese-style courtyard, then spent another 50,000 to have a foundation platform built and moved the entire courtyard up onto it. There was no choice, as she tried several times but could not move the house into her space. However, once the platform was constructed on the land below, she directly moved the house into the space. After connecting her purchased generator, the whole house lit up brightly.

Shen Meng was taking inventory of her purchases and looking at her bank account, which still had 1.17 million yuan. She went ahead and bought two retrofitted old jeeps, an old-style Santana, and several electric tricycles. After making a few trips to the countryside, she hoarded twenty barrels of gasoline.

Making money is difficult, but spending it really flows like water. That day, Shen Meng was riding an electric tricycle while watching a live stream on her phone, just as a host was celebrating their brother-in-law's aunt's birthday, a day of joy. All viewers were promptly encouraged to place orders for a chance to win a prize, and for every purchase, you would get eighteen free gifts. Shen Meng was ready to support the promotion.

Just as she clicked to make the payment, a dump truck came barreling towards her, the piercing screams and the sound of screeching brakes almost burst her eardrums. Under the powerful impact, Shen Meng felt all her internal organs shift place.

Then her vision blurred, and she plunged into darkness!!!

"You Shen family, sweet on the surface but bitter at heart, you take advantage of my daughter because she seems easy to bully, treating her like an old ox you can order around. When the two kids got married, you vowed to treat her like your own daughter. My daughter, at the prime of her youth, became a stepmother for your grandson. Now that she's immobile, you lot are living comfortably. How can you be so heartless?"

Wang Guizhi was making her accusations, but before finishing her sentence, tears had already begun falling. Being inherently gentle, her anger and confrontation seemed to lack any deterrent power.

"My in-law, what are you saying? Ever since Xiao Meng joined our Lu family, we older folks never said a harsh word to her. Her younger siblings and sisters-in-law all respect and listen to her. We never expected that our good intentions, in your eyes, would be turned into something so bitter. Well, well, a mother-in-law is not a birth mother after all. Even if you do well, it's useless."

Liu Sanjin sobbed a few times, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and presented a fragile appearance in stark contrast to Wang Guizhi.

"You, you, you..."

Her finger trembling as she pointed at Liu Sanjin. She stuttered "you" for a long time, but couldn't get her words out. Onlookers who saw her theatrics started mocking her.

"Aunt Wang, your daughter-in-law hasn't woken up yet. Even if you're angry, you need to keep a clear head. Clearly, she was hit by a cow from the production team. How can you blame us for this? Everyone in Lu Family Village, men, women, young and old, we all know this!" Zhou Jiaojiao quickly stepped up to support Liu Sanjin, speaking disparagingly towards Wang Guizhi.

"Exactly, Little Meng, your folks have come from far away and don't really understand the situation. Picking on Aunt Liu like this is simply unreasonable."

"Keep it down, don't meddle, or you'll get scolded too. These people are unreasonable, tsk tsk!"

"Well said, her daughter has been unconscious for so long, and she's only making a scene here, not even bothering to check on the person first. I think they see the Lu Family doing well and are looking to extort some money. Aunt, didn't you know? The Shen Family has a son who's about to talk marriage, and if they catch the opportunity..."

Wang Guizhi trembled with anger, and Shen Fugui's face reddened with rage too. She turned her head and glared fiercely at several of the Lu Family Village members, then gritted her teeth, taking Shen Fugui with her as they twisted into their own daughter's room.

It wasn't that she didn't care about her daughter, but if her daughter woke up, she would inevitably take her mother-in-law's side. Such a senseless girl, her cleverness from when she lived at her parents' home had completely vanished after marriage. She listened to everything her husband's family said, and her relationship with her own family had considerably weakened.

If it weren't for her and her husband working across the river, hearing from a girl from the same village married off that her daughter had been knocked by a cow, she wouldn't have known about her daughter's accident!

An actual cow!!!

A moment of carelessness could be fatal. Her daughter was lying in the room while the Lu Family was comfortably eating in the main hall with not a single person looking after her. The children were nowhere to be seen, and it seemed like a doctor wasn't even called for.

Were they expecting her daughter to just wait for death? How could she tolerate this???

Seeing Wang Guizhi enter the house, Liu Sanjin quickly pretended to be devastated and gestured to the neighbors on both sides.

"Thank you all. Please go back first. We don't want to trouble everyone with our family's misfortune."

Her words only increased the dissatisfaction among the people who just witnessed Wang Guizhi's ruckus. Liu Sanjin was good at socializing, and the villagers were even more supportive of their own.

The few women who had spoken up earlier immediately said that if Wang Guizhi dared to make trouble, she should come to them; they'd support Liu Sanjin and show the Shen Family the strength of Lu Family Village.

Shen Meng, in a daze, heard the sound of crying. She tried hard to open her eyes, and what she saw was the dilapidated thatched roof, seemingly on the verge of collapse. As she turned her head slightly, she could still see the dusty mud walls; the paper pasted on the wooden window frame was torn and hanging, complete with a couple of spider webs. If she wasn't mistaken, the lovely spider was still diligently at work.

Without looking further, the heavy stone in Shen Meng's heart fell. She had arrived in the dream world she had anticipated. She wasn't particularly surprised, considering the premonition she had; it was just that the manner of arrival was a bit hard to accept. If it weren't for her optimistic nature, it could have given her a psychological shadow. But the crying voice beside her was something she couldn't ignore.

Weakly, Shen Meng said, "You..."

"My child, my child, you're finally awake," Wang Guizhi exclaimed as she rushed excitedly to the now-awake Shen Meng.

"Ugh!"

Shen Meng caught her breath in pain, clutching the damp and clammy bedding beneath her... her ribs... felt like they were about to break!!!
