The 1980s: My Family Hears My Thoughts and Stops Being Cannon Fodder

[Period piece + cannon-fodder comeback + mind reading + pocket dimension]

Tang Xiaotao transmigrated.

Not only had she transmigrated, she had also transmigrated into a book.

She had become the cannon-fodder character in the story who died young.

And she wasn’t the only one. Her entire family were cannon fodder.

She looked at her mother, who had just given birth to her and was weak after losing a great deal of blood.

She listened as her mother spoke graciously about her husband, who was working away from home, suffering hardships and unable to return to care for her.

Tang Xiaotao was speechless.

[Mom, my dad’s living it up right now. He’s taking care of his mistress, who just gave birth to his child.]

Her gracious mother: ???

Faced with her honest, hardworking eldest brother, Tang Xiaotao felt exhausted.

[Big Brother, stop selling your blood. You’ll work yourself to death.]

Her honest eldest brother had just heard that selling blood could earn money and was about to do it. He jolted upright as if he’d just been brought back from the brink of death.

Faced with her handsome second brother, who loved making money:

[So this is my handsome second brother? He really is good-looking. Too bad he’ll go to prison for profiteering, and nearly go in on his feet and come out in a coffin.]

Her second brother, who was still dabbling in small-time hustles: ???

Every time Tang Xiaotao met a member of her family, she couldn’t help thinking about their future.

But as time passed, she realized her family’s lives were turning out nothing like they had in the book.
