Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Jiang Lai transmigrates...

Chapter 1

Jiang Lai has transmigrated into the world created by the merging of two books. As the female protagonist of the sweet romance novel "The Pampered Little Wife of the 70s", she and Su Erniu, the female protagonist of the realistic novel "The Little Stepmother of the 70s", can be said to be two extremes in life.

Jiang Lai and Su Erniu each have a fiancé due to the clichéd story of falling into the water. The difference is that Jiang Lai is rescued by Shi Cheng, a small-time hoodlum in the city. After the reform and opening up, he became the richest man in the country by doing business so that Jiang Lai could live a good life.

Su Erniu was rescued by Ye Anguo, a soldier with three children who was visiting his hometown. She had no choice but to marry him and become his stepmother. Ye Anguo was a soldier all his life and was very disciplined, never taking a single needle or thread or a penny from the people. Although Su Erniu later became a general's wife and had a high status, she could not buy luxury goods as she pleased as Jiang Lai, the wife of a billionaire. For Su Erniu, she lived a life of poverty.

When Jiang Lai transmigrated, she found herself at the beginning of the story. At that moment, she was splashing in the river, being held tightly by the reborn Su Erniu to prevent her from swimming to the shore.

Why did Jiang Lai know that Su Erniu had been reborn? Because Jiang Lai had all of the original owner's memories, and during the struggle, after hearing two thuds, Su Erniu gripped her hand even tighter. Especially when she saw a green figure approaching them, Su Erniu pushed Jiang Lai forcefully towards that figure, while she herself moved closer to another black figure.

Before Jiang Lai could think any further, a strong arm grabbed her waist and pulled her towards the shore. The river was too strong, and Jiang Lai didn't want to die here right after transmigrating into the book, so she swam to the shore with the person who saved her.

Jiang Lai had guessed beforehand, and sure enough, after getting ashore, she found that the person who saved her was a man in military uniform, while the person who saved Su Erniu was a boy who looked very delicate, but was actually a boy who was unambitious and just getting by.

These two should be Ye Anguo, the male protagonist of the two books, and Shi Cheng, the future richest man in the country.

"Jiang Lai? Are you alright?" Shi Cheng, who had "rescued" Su Erniu, also noticed Jiang Lai and ran over with concern.

"I'm fine." Jiang Lai glanced at the big boy in front of her. In the book, he doted on the female lead because Shi Cheng had fallen in love with her very early on. After marrying her, he changed his unambitious personality and worked hard to give her a better life. However, he was too capable and worked hard to become the richest man in the country.

However, judging from the resentful and jealous look in Su Erniu's eyes when she looked at her, was Su Erniu disgusted with Ye Anguo and therefore wanted to snatch Shi Cheng, who would become the richest man in the country in the future? Although Jiang Lai used a question mark, she actually knew that this was the truth, just by looking at the way Su Erniu looked at Shi Cheng with shining eyes.

As Jiang Lai was thinking about this, a military-style jacket was suddenly draped over her shoulders. Because it was too long, it covered her thighs, resembling the "no pants" style of dressing in later times.

"Thank you!" Jiang Lai took the clothes and buttoned them up without ceremony. The figure of her current body was comparable to her original one. If she didn't wear clothes, she didn't know how many people would see her.

However, Jiang Lai, having finished buttoning her clothes, ignored Ye Anguo and strode up to Su Erniu, slapping her hard across the face. The loud "smack" startled the other three people present.

"Jiang Lai, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit me for no reason?" Su Erniu was also stunned by the hit and it took her a while to speak.

Jiang Lai rubbed her red, sore hand and sneered, "Don't you know why I hit you? You dragged me into the river and wouldn't let me swim to shore on my own. Was this premeditated murder or premeditated murder?"

"I didn't. I didn't mean to pull you into the water. I was scared when I fell in, so I accidentally grabbed you and wouldn't let go." Su Erniu had already prepared an excuse beforehand and was very confident that Jiang Lai wouldn't be able to find any evidence.

"Yes, once someone comes, you're no longer afraid, you dare to let go, and you immediately learn to swim, right? You should leave these words to the police officers."

"I really didn't mean to, it was just an accident." Su Erniu looked pitiful, as if she had been wronged.

"Isn't this a misunderstanding? Su Erniu herself fell into the river. Does she think she'd risk her life?" The speaker was Shi Cheng. He knew Jiang Lai and had secretly liked her for a long time, but because his family was poor and he was a good-for-nothing, he had kept his feelings to himself. Although he seemed to be speaking up for Su Erniu, he was just using the opportunity to talk to Jiang Lai.

"Then why don't you explain yourself properly, Su Erniu?" Jiang Lai rolled up her sleeve, revealing her arm that had been gripped so hard that it was bright red. Her body was originally covered in delicate skin, but the marks on her arm were shocking to behold.

"Tell me properly how careless you were to drag me into the river so forcefully. Besides, I can swim. If you hadn't fallen into the river and clung to me so desperately, I would have swum to the surface long ago. Furthermore, Shi Cheng was almost swimming to my side to save me, but instead you pushed me forcefully into the deep water. Isn't that tantamount to murder?"

After saying that, Jiang Lai ignored Su Erniu, who already had a bright red handprint on her face. If she were to get another slap, things might get complicated at the police station. In any case, regardless of whether the police could find out the truth, Jiang Lai was not going to let this go unpunished.

Actually, she knew that Shi Cheng liked the original owner. She said that on purpose. Su Erniu actually dragged people into the river to achieve her own goals, without considering how deep the water was. If it were someone who couldn't swim, or if something happened, would the original owner have to pay for her ambition with her life? Since she did it, she had to bear the consequences.

Su Erniu wanted to steal Shi Cheng away and become the wife of the richest man in the country, so let her see what kind of life she could lead if they switched places.
