Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 561 - 1: The Cannon Fodder Daughter and Her Cannon Fodder Father (1)

Chapter 561: Chapter 1: The Cannon Fodder Daughter and Her Cannon Fodder Father (1)

The task has ended.

Jiang Lai returned to that familiar place again.

A nebulous, surreal space, where it felt as if the whole person was suspended in mid-air.

"Congratulations, you’ve completed another task."

"Mm, same to you."

Leaving the task world, the two had nothing to say.

Little Buding looked at the time, there was still some left, so he coughed and started to find a topic.

"That Liang Qizhou seemed quite good, why don’t you give him a chance?"

Jiang Lai frowned as she sat up, adapting to the change in the environment, and said hoarsely.

"Trouble."

"He even offered to leave the circle for you later."

"Even more trouble."

Making one-sided efforts like that is a burden.

Jiang Lai had already felt this burden once before, a bit tiring, so this time she didn’t give Liang Qizhou any chance.

Little Buding snorted, thinking Jiang Lai was wasting resources.

Someone as excellent as Liang Qizhou isn’t needed, what more do you want?

"Forget it, what’s past is past. How’s your rest?"

Jiang Lai rotated her neck and sighed, looking very fatigued.

"Why am I getting more tired."

"That’s because your physical body in reality is getting weaker, and constantly doing tasks greatly consumes spiritual power.

So do you want to rest some more?"

Jiang Lai rubbed her face.

"No, I’ll tighten up a bit."

The sooner she wakes up, the sooner she can get to serious business.

Little Buding once again admired Jiang Lai’s perseverance and determination; what can’t someone like that accomplish?

The self-discipline was so damn annoying, making him, a lazy person, not dare to continue slack off.

"Alright, get ready, the next world is loading, countdown starts."

Jiang Lai lay back down, facing the void of whiteness above her head, then slowly closed her eyes.

Her breathing seemed to revert to silence.

——

"This is Sister Yao Yao’s stuff! You’ve eaten so much already, and still coming to snatch!"

Jiang Lai had just arrived in this world and hadn’t had a chance to open her eyes, when she was pushed by a sturdy arm.

With a ’thud’, she sat on the ground, and the hard stones made her backside hurt.

Jiang Lai looked up at the person before her.

A boy in a sleeveless white top, about thirteen or fourteen years old, looking like a child but with a robust physique, like a calf.

It was him who had just lifted a hand and pushed Jiang Lai to the ground.

Beside the boy stood a girl in a white dress, holding the boy’s arm and whispering something.

On hearing, the boy grew even more agitated, pointing at Jiang Lai angrily.

"It’s her who repeatedly bullied you! Jiang Lai! You’ve made our family a mess! Next time I see you bullying Sister Yao Yao, I’ll throw you out!"

The girl in the white dress looked flustered as she pulled the boy, her eyes filled with guilt as she looked at Jiang Lai.

"Sorry, Sister Jiang Lai, next time if you want to eat something just tell me directly, I’ll give it to you, certainly won’t fight with you, so don’t quarrel with Ali next time, okay?

Ali, I’m fine so don’t worry, it’s just a piece of cake, whoever wants can eat, don’t bring discord between you siblings over me."

The boy called Ali gave Jiang Lai a disdainful glance.

"I don’t accept her as a sister! Sister Yao Yao, let’s go, I have cake as well, I’ll keep it for you!"

After saying that, Ali pulled the girl away.

Leaving Jiang Lai sitting on the ground, silently brushing off the stones embedded in her palm.

The boy was too strong, her current body was somewhat weak, and in a real fight, she’d probably suffer.

"How’s the situation now?"

"The memory has just finished loading, find a secluded place to receive it."

Jiang Lai got up, looking at her black lantern cotton pants, and the powder-white lace-lined jacket, similar to that of the girl, with the original owner sporting two thick braids, though the rough hair tips indicated this body was somewhat malnourished.

Following the remnants of her memory, Jiang Lai walked to a secluded corner in the backyard and sat on the swing, and the plot transmission began.

This time, Jiang Lai entered a novel set in a bygone era called "Yao Yao".

The setting is an imaginary era similar to the early 1960s in Hua Country, also known as the years of famine.

Whether in cities or rural areas, there was a shortage of food and scarcity of resources, many people couldn’t fill their stomachs, relying on thrift and meticulous planning for survival.

The heroine Shen Yaoyao, due to her mother’s death and her father’s illness, out of helplessness for survival, her father Shen Hui sent her to live with her sister’s family in the city.

Shen Hui’s sister, Shen Yan, because of her youth and beauty, was noticed by a chef named Jiang Hai from a state-run restaurant in the city.

Back then, being a chef was a cushy job, Shen Yan married him without hesitation, despite the poor times, at least they didn’t starve for every meal.

Towards her niece from her brother, Shen Yan was generous, after taking her in, it was new clothes every three days, pork stew every two days, eager to bring out all hidden treasures to entertain her.

In the book, Shen Yaoyao’s temperament was gentle and calm, though born in the countryside, being the only child with a brother, she was well taken care of besides being physically frail from malnutrition, even during times when everyone was pale from hunger, she stood out with fair skin.

Shen Yaoyao quickly gained the affection from everyone in the Jiang Family shortly after arriving.

Shen Yan’s three sons, Jiang Hu, Jiang Shun, and Jiang Li, were particularly attentive to this new relative, not letting her lift a finger for chores.

Shen Yaoyao lived in Jiang Family for two or three years before their lost daughter was found.

This daughter, the greatest scapegoat of the book, is Jiang Lai.

Because she went missing while playing with her brothers, only four or five years later did she accidentally reunite with Jiang Hai on the street.

Returning to Jiang Family, Jiang Lai discovered an unfamiliar girl at home, triggering a sense of crisis.

The two were similar in age, both seventeen, blooming years of youth.

As newly recognized Jiang Lai watched her own mother making clothes and occasionally little treats for Shen Yaoyao, the resentment in her heart grew stronger, so she often deliberately competed for favor before Shen Yaoyao.

These antics were always dismissed by Shen Yaoyao with a smile, seemingly indifferent to Jiang Lai’s little tricks.

Having lived with Jiang Family for a few years, Shen Yaoyao had long been considered one of them, especially adored by the three brothers.

Thus, when Jiang Lai overly fussed about an occasional extra piece of cake, and quarreled with Shen Yaoyao over it, the three brothers grew a dislike towards this biological sister.

Apart from Jiang Hai, the family treated this non-Jiang-named girl as a precious gem, anything good was first offered to her.
