Chapter 8 The Second Plot

On the way home, Zhang Jinyue felt a little confused. Neither Gu Yuncheng nor Zhang Jinxiu had any intention of cooperation, which meant that it would be twice as difficult for her to work alone.

Zhang Jinyue: 444, are you there?
[444: Yes, host. 】

Zhang Jinyue: Aren’t Gu Yuncheng and Zhang Jinyue a model couple in the plot?But now it seems like they have no feelings for each other.

[444: Maybe these two people developed feelings during their relationship after getting engaged?Host, think about it, you hurt Zhang Jinxiu because you were jealous of Zhang Jinxiu and Gu Yuncheng's engagement. Didn't the resolution of the misunderstanding enhance their relationship? 】

It seems to make sense.

Zhang Jinyue touched her chin in thought and flipped through the plot again. She, the villain cannon fodder, did two things throughout the whole process. One was to express her love for Gu Yuncheng, and the other was to frame Zhang Jinxiu and help their relationship.

Zhang Jinyue: Okay.

She glanced at the next plot, which was the annual Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival in Qingshan Town. She counted the days and found that there were only a few days left.

Qingshan Town’s Chinese Valentine’s Day Lantern Festival has a long history, and all men and women of appropriate age can participate.It's just that it's more of a blind date event in disguise than a lantern festival.

There are various activities at the lantern festival, including setting off fireworks, guessing lantern riddles, begging for tricks and begging for prostitutes, etc.Among them, the more interesting ones are guessing lantern riddles and female celebrities.Guessing lantern riddles is generally an activity for scholars. If you answer five questions correctly, you will get a lantern as a gift from the store, and then give it to your sweetheart. It will inevitably lead to a story of becoming a romantic and talented person!

Women usually participate in begging and begging, embroidering a handkerchief and giving it to the man they like.If the man accepts the handkerchief intentionally, both parties will be happy. If it is unintentional, he only needs to return what he received to the other party, which does not hurt anyone's face.

This is a rare festival that does not impose too many restrictions on women. It is usually difficult to ask questions, but during this festival, you can test the attitude of the other party.

According to the original plot, Zhang Jinxiu came with Gu Yuncheng, and met the county magistrate's son at the lantern festival, and they had a good chat with each other.

The original owner came alone, hiding in a dark corner and losing his mind while watching Gu Yuncheng smile at Zhang Jinxiu.

She stared at others, but she didn't know that she was also being targeted by a group of gangsters.

The gangsters robbed her of money. She had no money, so she was inevitably beaten, and even tried to do evil things.

The original owner was frightened. While pushing and shoving, he suddenly remembered Zhang Jinxiu and decisively diverted the trouble, "I don't have any money and I'm not pretty, but I have a friend who is rich and pretty, and she's the village chief's daughter." . Please let me go, I can tell you where she is."

The gangsters looked at each other and saw arousal in each other's eyes.He let go of the original owner and slapped her face with the knife, "You know the truth! If you tell us where she is, we will let you go! If we find out that you lied to us -"

The knife shone silvery-white under the light, "Then don't blame us for making you unable to survive or die!"

The last sentence was said in a ferocious tone, full of threats.

"I know! I know!" The original owner nodded hurriedly. She didn't like Zhang Jinxiu and didn't even think of tipping off the information.

With the help of the original owner, the gangster successfully tied up Zhang Jinxiu, but before he could do anything, Gu Yuncheng arrived in time.

The hero saves the beauty. This should be the beginning of Zhang Jinxiu's affection for Gu Yuncheng!
In addition, the two also received help from the county magistrate, who later helped them solve many problems.Of course, the plot must be followed, but Zhang Jinyue does not intend to follow the plot completely.After all, gangsters are so dangerous and can easily cause trouble if they are not careful.

She thought about it and decided that she could hire a few people to pretend to be kidnappers to complete the plot, which would greatly improve security.

Anyway, no matter it is a real kidnapper or a fake kidnapper, as long as the rescuer and the kidnapped people think it is real!
Another point is that in the original plot, Gu Yuncheng and Zhang Jinxiu were an unmarried couple, so it was natural and reasonable for them to go to the Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival together.Now, it would be inappropriate for her to step in sideways.

But it's not difficult. She can act as a link between the two parties and invite people out.

When I got home, the table was already set with dishes and chopsticks ready for dinner.

When Zhang Cuihua saw her coming back, the elder got angry, "Didn't you go out? Why are you back again?"

"What are you talking about, mother? This is my home, can't I come back?" Zhang Jinyue stepped into the main room and sat down on the table.

A bowl of dried vegetable soup and a bowl of Chinese cabbage were quickly served on the table. Zhang Dalai and Zhang Laibao's bowls were filled with rice, and Zhang Cuihua's bowl was filled with porridge.

Zhang Jinyue took her bowl to the kitchen, but found that there was no rice residue left in the pot.

Although she had no appetite for those two bowls of food, it was never her style not to fight back when bullied!

Zhang Jinyue rummaged in the cupboard for a long time and finally found a bag of rice, dug out a bowl and cooked it, and found two eggs to steam.

Zhang Cuihua was holding the bowl and wanted to say something sarcastic, but she felt heartbroken when she saw this scene, "You are a murderer, you only have so little rice and eggs at home and you gave it all to Huo Huo!"

"There is no way." Zhang Jinyue waved her hands, "My mother won't do it for me, so I have to do it myself. If I do it myself, I will have enough food and clothing!"

Zhang Cuihua wanted to grab it as soon as she got her hands on it. She usually couldn't bear to eat the white rice and eggs, so why did she get the advantage of this cheap girl?

Zhang Jinyue was not afraid of her at all, and kicked her leg joint with his backhand.

Zhang Cuihua staggered and almost fell to her knees.

"You! You're so nice!" Zhang Cuihua wanted to complain again, but was stopped by Zhang Jinyue, "Want to complain again? Save it! I always spend ten taels of silver as I say, but it's just two eggs. What do you think? Will Zhang Dalai do something to me? I'm going to marry into the Gu family, and Zhang Dalai values ​​me now."

"Besides, Laibao may need my help in getting a wife in the future. Are you sure you want to offend me for these two eggs now?"

Zhang Cuihua stopped talking. Zhang Jinyue poured the steamed egg into the rice bowl and ate it slowly in front of Zhang Cuihua.

Zhang Cuihua left in anger, and Zhang Jinyue also put down the bowl.well!It's really annoying to have to argue about such trivial things at home every day!I can’t even eat properly!
Zhang Jinyue lay down tiredly. She still had to do tasks. The Zhang family couldn't leave for the time being, but they could control the housekeeping and make some money to make their life better.
