Everyday Gossip After Marrying a Tycoon in the Eighties

Currently serializing: Eighties-Era, Come Get Your Wife and Child Yan Ruo transmigrated to a poor mountain village in the 1980s. Her family had nothing, her father had broken bones in a workplace accident, and her two brothers had beaten up a thug who'd harassed her, nearly getting themselves arrested. Her stepmother even wanted her to marry a man who'd spent eight years in reform through labor. Then her aunt came to arrange a match, saying the man was an excellent catch: handsome, an engineer, and responsible for raising his nephew and niece. Her aunt thought it was a good deal: "You get a courtyard house, a job, and an urban household registration with the marriage." Yan Ruo: A house worth tens of millions, a job, and such a great deal? And he's handsome, too? All I have to do is take two kids as part of the package. After they married, Yan Ruo thought she'd landed the doting-on-the-kids script. She never expected the kids to be the ones doting on her. One villainous little rascal proudly snapped at a bully: "You think you're fit to have underlings? My aunt takes on underlings. You want to join?" The other little rascal worked hard at his street stall to earn money for his aunt's ice cream. And the uncle she mistook for a refined, elegant young gentleman was the future Chairman Qin, a major villain. When they first married, the villainous big shot was upright and proper, and kept his desires in check. He suggested, "We can take some time to build a relationship first." Later, the villainous big shot started showing off to get kisses and hugs, and kept her up all night demonstrating his core strength. Gossips whispered to her old-fashioned mother-in-law: "You thought you'd found a gentle, virtuous daughter-in-law, but she's the most notorious troublemaker for miles around." Her mother-in-law nodded proudly. "That's right, she is." Yan Ruo thought she was on the front lines of building a career. In reality, she was on the front lines of gossip. Someone threw a fit at her liquor shop, claiming they'd gotten food poisoning. Gossip System: The young widow is gagging because she's pregnant. Yan Ruo immediately summoned forty friends and relatives to watch the widow's pregnancy reveal. Her rival used every shameless trick in the book to drive Yan Ruo's liquor shop out of business. Gossip System: The rival's braised wild rabbit is laced with something. Yan Ruo reported them at once, and the rival's shop went under. Can gossip solve every problem? Later, the gossip was about her, and it even reached the point of the world resetting. Yan Ruo: I was surprised, too! Now serializing: In the 1960s, I Became a National Treasure After Turning Myself In Wen Sihai was frantic lately. His daughter, Wen Miao, had been possessed by something. Rain followed her wherever she went. A raincoat couldn't keep it off her; the rain always fell on her, and it happened every day. The weather was warm now, but would his daughter freeze to death when winter came? Desperate enough to try anything, Wen Sihai could only hand her over to a scientist who'd returned to the village to visit family. Unable to bear parting with her, Wen Sihai asked the scientist: Can you cure her condition? Can you find some way to keep her from freezing in the rain when winter comes? The scientist promised, "I'll apply to the government to give Miao Miao a formal job." Only after Wen Miao arrived at the Northwestern Base did she learn that a large group of scientists, soldiers, and educated youths were reclaiming the desert and growing crops to help the country solve its food shortage. They treated her like a treasure. She joined the research institute, they farmed, and she made it rain. + The desert received life-giving rain, and the rice and wheat flourished. Vast stretches of wasteland turned into granaries, and the entire nation had enough to eat. + During a severe local drought, Wen Miao accompanied the Ministry of Agriculture on an inspection tour. Folk tales claimed that the Dragon King's daughter had come to bring the rain, and sure enough, a welcome downpour arrived from the heavens. Crops that had nearly withered came back to life. + When a fire broke out at the port, Wen Miao was rushed there by plane to make it rain. The raging flames were no match for fifteen days' worth of rain brought down in advance. Wen Miao saved the port, preventing a chemical leak and saving the entire city. She'd thought she had a strange illness. Who knew she was a special talent, a treasure of the base, and a national treasure? + She earned the same salary as top scientists: over 200 yuan a month. + Her brothers joined the army and went to school, and her father became the production team's leader. + She had more than ten bodyguards operating undercover. The base assigned researcher Qin Geng to arrange Wen Miao's work and look after her in every aspect of her life. Wen Miao knew that this man, who made her soup, washed her clothes, and taught her academics, cared only about food and farming. He was looking after her because he wanted to exploit her potential and squeeze every bit of value out of her. Still, she got to eat delicious meals, wear dry clothes, and receive a high school education. Qin Geng was also handsome, tall, and broad-shouldered, and made her feel safe. Wen Miao figured it might not be so bad after all. Every time Wen Miao got soaked in the rain, Qin Geng felt terrible for her, afraid she'd catch a cold. Whenever she finished working, he immediately brought her hot soup. But lately, he had a new worry: someone else was trying to take over the job of looking after Wen Miao. Wen Miao had actually gotten tired of his ginger and jujube tea and started drinking someone else's chicken soup. Inside the room, his rival "coaxed" Wen Miao: "That guy only knows how to make ginger and jujube tea. He never changes things up. I'll make meat soup for you from now on." Qin Geng stood outside the door, radiating a chill, his eyes dark and solemn. Should he walk away? Should he give up? After thinking it over for two minutes, Qin Geng pushed open the door, strode over, and sat beside Wen Miao. He said gently, "That chicken soup smells salty. Too much sodium chloride can cause high blood pressure. Let me try it." No one was allowed to steal Miao Miao away!
