In a Chaotic Age, What Can I Do Without a Golden Finger?

[Family Life, Farming, A Touch of Ensemble Cast, Lighthearted and Not Grim]

Ye Zhenzhen transmigrates into a novel she happened to open, becoming a cannon-fodder supporting character who shares her name.

From the start, she gets caught trying to climb into the male lead's bed. The shrewd heroine, who has also transmigrated, quickly beats her with a rod and informs her family: either bring thirty taels to buy out her contract, or she'll sell this unruly girl to a brothel!

The original Ye Zhenzhen is left in a woodshed, waiting desperately for her family for three days and nights. At last, her grandfather, grandmother, father, and stepmother arrive. But when they see her covered in wounds and barely alive, they claim they have no money and ask the mistress to show mercy and let her go for free.

When that fails, they immediately turn to leave. They say they only got eight taels when they sold her, and now she's been beaten half to death, yet they'd have to pay another twenty-two taels. However you look at it, it's a terrible deal!

Hearing this, the original Ye Zhenzhen lets out a cry of rage.
