The Whole Village Can Hear My Thoughts [The 1970s]

After Jiang Yu bound herself to a gossip System, she was told she had only two hours left to live.

To save herself, she had no choice but to go out and find gossip to earn gossip coins.

As soon as she stepped out, she ran into her sharp-tongued neighbor, who spoke sarcastically. "Look who's finally come out! When are you planning to get married?"

Jiang Yu's time was precious, and she couldn't be bothered to talk to idiots. She opened the neighbor's gossip: [Ha! You and your husband worked so hard last night that you collapsed the heated bed? Pretty impressive for a couple your age!]

[There's a love letter from Uncle Qiao at the end of the village hidden in the stove tunnel!]

Amid a burst of laughter, the neighbor's face turned bright red, and she fled.

The man rumored to be dating her always gave her the side-eye and was full of himself. "Forget it. I'm never going to fall for you."

Jiang Yu had no time to explain, so she went straight to his gossip: [Well, well, I thought you were so high and mighty. You secretly gave away all your family's savings to be someone's simp, and you're simping for three people at once?]

The rumored boyfriend's face changed drastically. His mother immediately beat the daylights out of him.

Her fake bestie introduced her to a divorced man. "I'm only doing this for your own good. You should be grateful anyone's willing to marry you."

Jiang Yu opened her gossip: [This girl has been cheating on her husband for ages. The kid's actually the divorced man's.]

[And the divorced man is abusive. Girl, you've got some pretty messed-up tastes.]

[Wait, you wanted to break things off with the divorced man, so you thought you'd dump the blame on me?!]

Her fake bestie's husband's expression kept changing. The couple broke into a full-on brawl, and in the end, the husband declared, "We're getting divorced."

She had no idea that everyone could hear her thoughts, so she was utterly confused when the villagers, who greeted her with smiles and brought her gifts from time to time, started acting so friendly.

Then one day, she heard gossip about herself.

[The new village secretary has his eye on me? He went to my house and volunteered to be a live-in son-in-law? My parents agreed?]

Wait, when did all this happen? Did nobody think to ask what I wanted?
