[1: It's my life, I call the shots!]

"Yanyan, you're the only one in our family who can help your brother. Give your mom some face, I know you can help your brother!" Wei Guiqin put smile on her face and brought a piece of meat in her daughter's bowl. 

Su Hanyan looked down at the piece of pork belly in the bowl, smiled and said, "Mom, I can't help you with this. You have to ask Gaoming."

Wei Guiqin was taken aback, and the little daughter who had always been obedient refused to make concessions on this matter.

Immediately, she knew that her daughter was reluctant, but for the happiness of her son, she still had to sacrifice her daughter's interests.

After all, her daughter will marry sooner or later. The girl who married out was the water poured out from the field and became a member of other people's family. Only her son can be by her side for a lifetime!

She calculated this account very clearly.

"Yanyan, please feel pity for your brother. You also know that he likes Lin Zhiqiu, and he really want to gouge the girl! Now, the girl finally agreed. People don't want the gift, don't make a ring of three turns, just give her a job! You will still do those two wrong?"

"Then what about me?" Su Hanyan raised his head, staring at Wei Guiqin and asked, "I have a high salary at work, so I can just let it go? What am I supposed do?"

Hearing that her daughter seemed to have a sense of contradiction, Wei Guiqin suddenly smiled on her face: "Look at what you said, can your brother treat you badly? Isn't this also asking for a good family? Zhou's family, this family's conditions are good, and there is only one son. If you are married, then you are going to enjoy being the Qingfu!"

Enjoy being a Qingfu?

[Hoya's Note: Qingfu has various meanings but in this context, it means the Lady of the household or the wife]

A lie to the ghost!

She knew all about the ins and outs of this matter, even the fate of everyone in the future.

She didn't have the ability to predict the future, yes, it was because she was transmigrated into a book.

Speaking of this incident, it was incredible.

A few days ago, she drank too much while attending a cocktail party. After she was sent back to the villa, she woke up and found herself in an 80s period novel and became the supporting actress Su Hanyan in the story.

After recalling the plot of the book, she found out that there were not many descriptions of the character called Su Hanyan, but the few scenes had explained all the tortuous and bitterness of her short life.

In the original story,  Su Hanyan's third brother couldn't wait to dig his heart out for the heroine Lin Zhiqiu. After graduating from high school, she did not enter the university because she had take care of her seriously ill father at home for two years.

Two years later, Father Lin died. Mother Lin was overwhelmed. She had an arm milled off by a lathe while working in the machinery factory. The hostess Lin Zhiqiu was once again delayed in studying because of taking care of her mother. It was replaced.

The family can't survive without financial resources. In order to live on, she agreed to the proposal of Su Jingrui, the little hutong who had been pestering her for two years, on the condition that she wanted a job!

[Hoya's Note: Hutong is a kind of alleyway but in this context, it means an insult like 'Bastard' and the likes]

Where can I find a job this year?

Whenever I have a job, her relatives will want to take it. If you buy a job from someone else, you will have to pay a lot of money. Who can pay so much to buy a job?

But Su Jingrui likes Lin Zhiqiu, Wei Guiqin loves the third child Su Jingrui the most, and he also likes this future daughter-in-law. She feels that this girl's long slender waist and big chest are the source of income of this kid. The family's eldest has already been married for so long but has never been able to give birth to her grandson. So, she pinned her hopes on Lin Zhiqiu.

If Lin Zhiqiu wants to work, someone will naturally have to surrender their work.

Wei Guiqin hit her mind on Su Hanyan. Of course, she was afraid that her daughter wouldn't give up her poor job and would marry a poor man to live at home in the future, so she agreed to Zhou's marriage.

Once this marriage was completed, Su Hanyan's life of tragic reminder began. Various dog-blood incidents were staged in turn, the bones and muscles were broken because of her husband's domestic violence and then was at the brink of death. She asked her natal family for help but her family stood by indifferently.

In the end, she died, in despair!

Lin Zhiqiu and Su Jingrui also divorced and she found the destined male lead. Under the protection of the male lead, she cooked food, opened a store, and became rich and embarked on the pinnacle of life.

Therefore, in the original text, Su Hanyan is a super female cannon fodder who has survived less than 20,000 words and less than ten chapters, and she is one of the most tragic cannon fodder in the book!

After Su Hanyan entered the book, she thought: Is this a joke?

Back at home, she is the treasure in the palm of her parents, at the cusp of her grandparents. She is regarded by the family as a delicate existence.

Isn't it a spoiled one?

Nowadays, a life that has nailed her into someone else's life through a book is still such a miserable life! How can this work?

Her life, she is the master!

Wei Guiqin has been discussing with her daughter, her mouth is dry, her throat is smoking, this girl's mind is wandering, and she doesn't know what she is thinking.

"Yanyan, did you hear what Mom said?" she asked again.

"Well, I heard it!" Su Hanyan put down the dishes, stretched her waist, and said with a curled mouth, "I don't want to enjoy any good fortune. I still prefer to use my own hands to work in exchange for life!"

Seeing her daughter disagree, Wei Guiqin's face sank, "Why?! Don't you know what you are saying? Having a job is so important than becoming a mother?"

"Then I won't do it either." Su Hanyan killed him and disagreed. "Whoever wants to marry,  marries! It's not me anyway!"

"You..." Wei Guiqin wanted to get angry, but in the end she held it back. She said patiently, "Well, let's give up your job to Lin Zhiqiu, and mother will think about a better job than this! You will just be thinking about a job better than this when you look back. Rest at home and don't do anything. Your mom will shelter you! Didn't you want that woolen coat in the Friendship Department Store a few days ago? As long as you give up your work, Mom will buy it for you!"

Seeing Wei Guiqin coaxing her like a fool, Su Hanyan was delighted. She is not the original owner, and she won't be at the mercy of others so easily.

Her job is better than others. She works in the Propaganda Department of the towing factory. On weekdays, she publishes blackboard newspapers and organizes employees to engage in activities. The work won't make her dirty nor tired, and the salary is not low. Many people are staring at this position. What will happen to her if she gives it up?

If she loses this job, she will lose her source of income!

What's more, what can you do if you have such an unreliable family and not a single penny in your pocket?

"If this is the case, why don't you give a job that's better than mine to your future daughter-in-law—Lin Zhiqiu!" Su Hanyan smiled and pushed the table and chopsticks in front of Wei Guiqin, "Mom, I'm tired. Ha, I'll go back to my room to rest!"

Su Jingrui, who had been eavesdropping through the door outside the house, couldn't hold back anymore and opened the door with a bang.

The snow on the roof that was static, shook and fell, and under the eaves, the red plums that were in full bloom got covered by a faint white layer.

Su Hanyan was taken aback: "Can't you open it gently? It's so loud!"

[2: Hey, I also have a bad temper!]

"It's good to be scared to death, this girl is talking nonsense with you!" Su Jingrui glared at his sister, as if looking at an enemy, "Su Hanyan, can you be a little sympathetic? What kind of job do you want as a girl? Just marry a good family and do nothing!"

What did you say?

Why does he sound so pissed off?!

[Hoya: not so sure about this one]

Su Hanyan raised her eyebrows: "Yeah! What good work does a girl want? Then you tell your Lin Zhiqiu to stop working. Why don't you raise her well and let her enjoy the happiness? "

Su Jingrui was stunned. He didn't expect this little girl film to have a temper and dared to talk back to him.

He burst into anger, "I told you that you have to give up this job, and you have to give it up even if you don't want to! Mom is the head of this family, and it is not your turn to speak!"

"Hey!" Su Hanyan said with her hands on her hips, and said crisply, "I have a bad temper! I can't even make a decision for my own marriage so you'll make the decision? I said I won't marry, and I won't give up my work!"

What can you do to me?

"You think you've have grown up and your wings become hard, right?" Wei Guiqin also didn't expect this girl to be so resistant to this matter, "Don't you know what this is?! You'll have to do as I say or leave this house. You, you're nothing special! If you are disobedient and have the guts to disturb your brother's relationship, you can leave now, and you won't ever be allowed to come back to this family!"

[Hoya: I'm having a headache with the style of writing because it randomly switches from 3rd person to 1st person and here's my head imagining the dialouges like some dog-blood 8 o'clock drama lmfao]

"Then leave! I won't live in the house, I will live in the workers' dormitory!" Hanyan isn't afraid that she won't have anywhere to go.

Su Hanyan rushed out of the living room, and went straight to her bedroom.

Wei Guiqin was originally just talking nonsense. She knew that Su Hanyan was soft-tempered and timid, she thought she'll be scared and obey her. She just wanted to scare this girl, let her be soft, and let her give up her work..

But unexpectedly, she would still speak up!

"Mom, look! This girl obviously doesn't put you in her eyes!" Su Jingrui took the opportunity to fan the flames, wishing that Wei Guiqin would pick up a feather duster and give Hanyan a beating.

"You're right. If you don't let her suffer a bit, she will really go to heaven!" Wei Guiqin rushed into Su Hanyan's room, knocked at the bedroom door, raised her nose and cursed, "You! Don't you want to go?  Leave, if you have the ability! Go now! Quickly pack your things and leave! Don't stay here, I can't afford you anymore. How capable are you? You're a waste of patience!"

"I'm sorry? Oh, please!" Su Hanyan dragged a box out from under the bed, opened the cabinet and stuffed the mess of clothes inside, and then walked outside.

Her box smashed against the ground and made a rumbling noise. Everyone lived in a complex. When they heard something happening in the Su family, they came out of their houses and gathered together to inquire about what was going on.

"Smoke, what are you doing with a suitcase this weekend?"

"Yeah, what's the matter? Is it awkward again?"

"..."

The neighbors asked, voices mixing together.

"My mother wants to chase me away!" Su Hanyan faced the neighbors with a grieved expression, "My brother is going to get married and my future sister-in-law wants to work, so my mother and my brother asked me to give up my work.. and forced me to get married! What's more, to a divorcee! If I disagree, my mother will drive me away! Uncles and aunts, my mother only wants the happiness of my brother in her heart, and doesn't care for her daughter's life or death!"

Before she left, Su Hanyan didn't forget to pit Wei Guiqin.

Who made those mother and son bully people so much?

The neighbors all over the yard are all accusing Wei Guiqin, their palms and the back of the hands are all fleshy, how can the difference in treatment be so big?

{hoya: they're saying that Guiqin and Jingrui were fat while Hanyan was skinny lmfao]

Even if they are patriarchal, they wouldn't push their daughter to the path of no return!

Wei Guiqin had a good face to the neighbors before but her daughter screamed all of her grievances so badly that she couldn't hold back, so she immediately asked Su Jingrui to stop her.

"Su Hanyan, don't talk nonsense! Mom doesn't mean that!" Su Jingrui immediately blocked Su Hanyan, lowered his voice and said, "You should be honest, mom loves face, you should hurry up in front of the neighbors and apologize, say that you were wrong! Let's talk about our affairs privately!"

Su Hanyan smiled at Su Jingrui, dragged the box directly over his feet: "Ha! You wish!"

"B*tch! You!" Su Jingrui raised his hand subconsciously.

Su Hanyan immediately yelled and shrank into a ball, "My brother is going to hit me! I'm going, I'm going now! Can't you let me go?"

"Look, how is this a big brother?"

"Why are you bullying a girl so much? Aren't you brothers and sisters? Can you really do things like this?"

"Jing Rui, you're not so young anymore, don't act so childishly!"

The neighbors all said that Su Jingrui's was bad, he was so angry that he couldn't vent out.

"Brother, I'm really sorry! It doesn't matter how much you bully or beat me on weekdays. I love this job and don't want to give it up. I'm really sorry, I'm leaving now!" Before leaving, Su Hanyan looked at Su Jingrui who was at the center of accusations, and then left.

The people who were in the entire yard were talking about the Su family, saying that Wei Guiqin is a cruel and incompetent mother.

[3: Hit it off]

Wei Guiqin closed the door with a sullen face and couldn't come out. She wondered, 'Since when did this dead girl learn such a trick? Sure enough, the older the girl is, the more she won't stay, so she will make trouble if she stays at home.'

...

Su Hanyan dragged his suitcase to the factory. Today is the weekend, and there are not many people working in the factory.

She walked through the production area and headed straight to the dormitory behind the factory. Behind rows of tall poplar trees, there was a slightly dilapidated white three-story building.

In winter, the leaves fall, and the bare trunks cast mottled shadows under the white walls under the winter sun.

This is the dormitory for single workers.

After she came over through the book, she met a girl named Zhu Lin from the trade union. She was 22 years old, with long bright eyebrows and big eyes. She was cheerful and enthusiastic. As soon as they met, the two chatted very much.

The girl graduated from technical secondary school and lived in the factory dormitory for single workers.

In the 1980s, technical secondary school students were divided into two categories, one is the technical secondary school after graduating from junior high school. The other type is the secondary school after graduating from high school, which is a two-year system.

[hoya: i have no idea on how those two things are different]

This Zhu Lin was a secondary school after high school, and then she was assigned to the factory and lived in this single dormitory for four years.

Four people can live in a single dormitory. She happens to be the only one in that dormitory. All the three beds are vacant. Su Hanyan will have a place to live after she moves out.

She pulled the suitcase and knocked on the door of the singles dormitory. The girl was surprised when she saw her, and immediately greeted her with enthusiasm and smile.

"Smoke, come in quickly."

"Zhu Lin, I had some conflicts at home, so I moved out for the time being and want to live with you. I will file an application report with the factory soon so don't worry!" Su Hanyan explained.

Zhu Lin said happily: "That's great. With you as company, I won't be so lonely in the future! Come, I will help you clean up!"

"Thank you! Then I will trouble you!"

In the process of tidying up the closet, the two talked casually.

Su Hanyan learned more about this girl. This Zhu Lin was directly assigned to work in the cotton spinning factory in their city after graduation, and directly lived in the single dormitory.

The same group of colleagues that was her roommates got married and moved out of the single dormitory one after another. Originally, Zhu Lin was planning to get married at the end of this year but she broke up with her partner due to some accidents, so she could only live here all the time.

From the loneliness of living alone for a long time, Su Hanyan's arrival really made her very happy.

Su Hanyan was in a hurry when she left and forgot to pack the bedding. She could only have a bedding after the factory approved her accommodation report.

Zhu Lin took the initiative to lend her new bedding to Su Hanyan, saving her the trouble of going home again.

After the bedding was laid, Su Hanyan went to clean the desk and found that there were four tables in the room, almost all of which were occupied by Zhu Lin, and all four were filled with books.

She sat over and looked through a few books at random and found that there were some high school textbooks and a few English exercise books.

"You have already graduated, do you still keep these books?" she asked casually.

"Yeah." Zhu Lin said with some embarrassment, "I wanted to take the exam at the time.. After studying for a while, the energy was lost and I didn't want to take the exam... These books were bought with money, and I couldn't bear to throw them away so I kept it. Now it doesn't seem to be of any use. I'll just pack it up and give it away."

"Don't! Don't!" Su Hanyan stopped her, "Since you want to take the exam, then take the exam! You must take the exam! Although it is harder now, you will never regret it in the future!"

"Huh?" Zhu Lin was confused.

[4: Get a diploma]

Su Hanyan smiled, and took out a few books from the suitcase, and put them on the table immediately: "Look, I also plan to take the exam."

The moment she broke with her family and dragged the box out, she was already ready. There was a lot of trouble in this house, and there was a lot of bad things. How could it be cleaner than in the dormitory?

"Are you planning to take the exam?" Zhu Lin was surprised, "Why do you want to take the Yeda exam?"

[hoya: i guess Yeda is a university or school and Zhu Lin wants to study there and take the entrance exam]

She wanted to take the exam, purely because she was stimulated.

The person who she has been dating for three years and was about to get married to, changed his mind halfway through and eloped with a female student who had just graduated from university.

To put it bluntly, it is because they have taken a fancy to their high education and a brighter future and future.

Although my technical secondary school degree is pretty good, how can I compare it with the graduates of other famous universities? As soon as they graduated, they were assigned to work in government agencies. In the
