The Laid-Back Foil Wins Without Lifting a Finger After Her Family Hears Her Thoughts [1970s]

Lu Tinglan transmigrated into a world where several novels had merged, becoming the lazy daughter of the village chief's family in Lu Family Village in the 1970s.

The good news was that her entire family was amazing.

Her eldest brother was a soldier, her sister-in-law was a doctor at the county hospital, her second brother was the village's only prospective college student, and her third brother ran a little side business that was doing remarkably well.

Who in the surrounding villages didn't envy the Lu family's good life?

The bad news was that her whole family were foils to the protagonists of a novel.

Her eldest sister-in-law was tricked by her best friend into giving away a family heirloom. Her second brother got swept up in romance and gave his college place to the girl he loved. Her third brother was betrayed by a business partner and sent to prison to take the blame.

And the original owner was tricked into going south to work, never to be heard from again.

By the time Lu Tinglan arrived, her lovesick second brother had already decided to turn against his whole family and give his college place to his true love.

The sunflower seeds in Lu Tinglan's hand scattered all over the ground. In her mind, she screamed:

"Second Brother Lu, you ironclad fool! That couple were laughing about what a pathetic simp you are under the covers just last night."

Second Brother Lu froze solid. "What couple? The adulterer is me?"

The Lu family stared at the words above his head, their expressions strange.

Third Brother Lu brought a friend home for dinner.

Lu Tinglan held sunflower seeds in her hand, her eyes wide as saucers.

Seeing his younger sister's excited gaze, Third Brother Lu tried to set the two of them up.

Lu Tinglan muttered to herself, "He looks so honest and upright, but who'd have guessed he swallowed all the money in your accounts? My poor Third Brother, you're about to be shoved out as the scapegoat."

Lu Tinglan looked at him sympathetically. Eat up. Once you're in prison, you won't get food this good.

Third Brother Lu's eyes blazed with murderous intent: "!!!"

What did you say?

That night, Third Brother Lu didn't come home. A week later, his "friend" had a broken leg, and Lu Tinglan had a brand-new watch.

As a foil in a novel, Lu Tinglan's greatest wish was to stay far away from the plot and live off the fat of the land until she died.

Before this couch potato could even come up with a plan, Lu Tinglan realized that the male and female leads had all disappeared.

It seemed she'd somehow won without lifting a finger.

The protagonists who had been defeated by the Lu family foils cried bitterly: "Please, Lu family, give us back our protagonist lives for free!"
