A Substitute Bride's Everyday Gossip [The 1970S]

Original title: The System of Gossiping My Way to Wealth in a Period Novel Gossip System / Foil / Marriage First, Love Later Meng Qiuli transmigrated into a book. Before she could even process the fact that she'd been bound to a gossip System, she realized where she was. The heroine was her older sister, Meng Chuntao. After falling into the water, Meng Chuntao awakened memories of her past life. Not only did she hand her original fiance over to her younger sister, the poor girl their parents didn't favor, but she also married an educated youth who would become a top scorer in the college entrance exams. The couple moved to the city together and went on to live wonderful lives. Meng Qiuli, who'd been handed a husband without warning: ...This is actually a thing? If Meng Chuntao won't marry him, I will! So what if he has a hard time expressing himself? Then I won't have to worry about losing an argument. It's great that he's strong. Now I won't have to worry about doing all the farm work alone. It's great that he's uneducated. As the saying goes, men of honor are often butchers, while the faithless are usually scholars. It's even better that he has a big family. Don't forget, she's bound to a gossip System! People say the older generation is conservative in thought but uninhibited in behavior. She can't wait to see what juicy gossip she can dig up. What? A female educated youth was flirting with a married man to get out of farm work, and now she's been beaten until she's scrambling around? What? The village beggar who pretends to be crazy is actually a notorious bandit king from forty years ago? What? The accountant's little daughter is pregnant, and her faithless lover has gone back to the city after taking the college entrance exams, abandoning her? Meng Qiuli: ...Great, gossip is fun for a while, but it's even better when you can gossip forever. To her surprise, as she gossiped, she went from a village girl to one of the first college students after the college entrance exams were reinstated. She moved from an earthen house to a little Western-style home in the city, and even got herself a car. - Meng Qiuli's married life is easy and comfortable. Someone else does the farm work and brings her water to wash her feet. All she has to do is gossip and grab some fruit, meat, eggs, and milk from the System to improve her meals. Life couldn't be better. But... why isn't this bargain husband anything like she imagined? Wasn't he supposed to be a taciturn, rugged guy? Wasn't all that strength meant for farm work? Why is he using it all on her? Jiang Dachuan never dreamed that his fiancee would be replaced by his future sister-in-law. Looking at Meng Qiuli, who was two years younger than Meng Chuntao, Jiang Dachuan fell into deep thought. Her fair, rosy skin, the fine down on her face, and her slender, delicate frame all spoke of her youth... He wasn't so shameless as to make a move on a girl five years younger than him. So he decided to treat her with respect and be a considerate, courteous husband. But he never imagined that he would gradually develop feelings for his little wife that he shouldn't have. Especially late at night, when he saw her figure turned away from him, her graceful shape and the faint fragrance lingering at his nose. His base desires would always grow wildly in the darkness, tormenting him until he couldn't sleep.

The next, she'd become a cannon-fodder supporting character in a melodramatic period novel. And she was pregnant, too. She looked up at the sky with a sigh. She had all the skills needed to kill zombies, but in this era, she couldn't take a single step forward. What should she do? Jiang Xueyi rubbed her belly. It looked like her only choice was to find the baby's father and ask him to support her. He Chengze was handsome, with a bright future ahead of him. He'd kept himself chaste for years and only cared about building his career. One day, a woman showed up at his door. She touched her very visible belly and told him the baby was his. He Chengze gave her a cold look. "Madam, you've got the wrong person." Did he look like the kind of good guy who'd take responsibility for someone else's child? A woman moved into He Chengze's spotless home. His peaceful life turned into utter chaos. "He Chengze, I want chicken legs." "He Chengze, I want to buy a dress." "He Chengze, I want..." She has him running around after her every day. He has to spend his wages on clothes and snacks for her, and even massage her shoulders and legs. He Chengze: ... Why does he actually enjoy it? He'd thought having one more person in the house wouldn't make much difference. But then the woman walks around in his white shirt, showing off her long, fair legs... He Chengze: Damn it, I can't hold back anymore! Late one night, Colonel He turns into a big bad wolf, pins Jiang Xueyi to the bed, and is about to have his way with her. Jiang Xueyi laughs so hard she can barely catch her breath, then bumps him with her prominently rounded belly. "Colonel He, you can't~" He Chengze's gaze turns intense as he grits his teeth. "Just wait until the baby is born. Then you'll see what I do to you!" Theme: Life may treat you unfairly, but you mustn't treat yourself unfairly.
