In the 1970s, I Helped a Gruff Veteran Get Rich

Jiang Cheng, a translator fluent in five languages, transmigrated into a book.

In the book, the original owner had lost both her parents and been tricked into the Lin family, where she worked like a beast of burden for three years under the guise of being their eldest son's wife. Three years later, her fiancé returned with the female lead, whom he had just married.

The original owner had been manipulated by the Lin family into becoming their goddaughter, then kept working like a beast of burden. When the leads ran into trouble with their business, she was...

At that point in the story, Jiang Cheng angrily typed a hundred "Ptooeys," but it still wasn't enough to vent her fury.

After transmigrating into the book, Jiang Cheng used clever schemes and careful planning. A forged diary tore away the Lin family's fig leaf.

And just like that, Jiang Cheng the clapback queen was on the scene.

"The whole world of abacuses must have come alive in the Lin family!"

"Talking about money hurts feelings. If we don't talk about money, how am I supposed to know you have feelings?"

"I'm young, and you're too old. Chances are you won't live to see me succeed. Have a safe trip."

Years later, Jiang Cheng, once dismissed by everyone as a weak, pathetic pushover, had become the best translator around. She translated imported equipment for major factories, gave them advice, and became the factories' star employee.

She used the most polite tone to say the boldest things, and raked in the most foreign currency.

Meanwhile, the book's leads, crushed by life and crammed into a cramped rental room, held a newspaper and watched as Jiang Cheng, elegant and beautiful, climbed to yet another new height.

At that moment, they no longer even had the right to feel jealous.

Jiang Cheng came out of the airport and spotted the tall Shen Que in the distance. Just as her smile bloomed, two people hugged her.

"Sister-in-law, I've missed you so much!"

"Sister-in-law, you're finally back!"

Shen Que, pushed aside in the distance, helplessly reached out and pulled Shen Xing and Shen Yue away. "She's my wife."

Shen Xing and Shen Yue chorused, "Hello, brother-in-law!"
