Getting Rich by Gossiping in the Seventies

Lin Zhi's greatest hobby in life is gossip. That hobby caused her to die young and transmigrate into a book. She became one half of a contrast couple in a period novel, set up as a foil to the hero and heroine. Fortunately, Heaven treated her kindly and gave her a golden finger. Golden finger: She can learn three juicy secrets a day. Lin Zhi: What the hell! Is this really not just an excuse to humiliate me over and over? Later, Lin Zhi uses her information advantage to become a winner in life. Lin Zhi: Well, this is actually great! The Gu family has two sons. The elder son, Gu Xingzhi, graduated from high school and is good-looking. The younger son, Gu Xingqi, is skilled at both farming and carpentry, and is known for being capable. But almost everyone thinks the elder son, Gu Xingzhi, will have a brighter future than his younger brother. Later... The elder brother marries a woman from out of town. The younger brother marries Li Dani, a woman from their village. Later still, the two brothers' lives take completely different paths. The elder brother repeatedly fails the college entrance exam and becomes an elementary school teacher. His wife is useless at everything and is first to slack off when it comes to work. After economic reforms begin, the younger brother and his wife go into business and eventually become big shots. Lin Zhi, who has transmigrated into a book, looks at the handsome Gu Xingzhi. Then she looks at his parents, who treat her like their own daughter. Then she glances at the kind and honest Gu Xingqi and his wife. She slaps the table and makes up her mind. To hell with being the contrast couple. A family should live happily together! Reader's note: A period story about everyday family life. It's a feel-good story, but there's not much face-slapping. No one in the family is awful, and everyone works hard together. Theme: Self-reliance and the endless renewal of life
