A perfectly good cup of tea was completely wasted on the tea table. Miao Shuangshuang wondered if she had misheard. "How much?" Hearing her question, Ye Xiqing honestly repeated, "One hundred thousand." Miao Shuangshuang: ... You really think we're close friends, huh? Before she could respond, Ye Shiying quickly stepped in to smooth things over. Although she also felt that 100,000 yuan was a bit excessive and had some reservations, they were family who had lived together for many years. They couldn't stay united when poor and then fall apart the moment they became wealthy. So Ye Shiying hurriedly advised, "Don't rush. Let's talk this through." Of course, Ye Xiqing wasn't trying to extort 100,000 yuan out of thin air. She immediately pulled out a thick notebook from behind her back and handed it to Miao Shuangshuang. "This is my account book and transaction record for the small distillery I've been running over the past few year...

"Ah—!" Miao Shuangshuang let out a sharp screech. How could she have forgotten something so important? As a result, when Miao Shuangshuang returned, she not only brought back the installers for the television and telephone, but also a child. Everyone: ... A child? The most shocked person was Ye Shimei. She hadn't grown up here—this was her sister's and brother-in-law's home. Since she wasn't familiar with the local relatives, she asked in confusion, "Whose child is this?" Miao Shuangshuang looked away and replied casually, "A friend asked me to look after their child for a few days..." Ye Shiying immediately exploded, putting down the tool in his hand. "You're talking nonsense! That's clearly that brat from the Gu family!" Miao Shuangshuang: ... Everything had gone so smoothly after her rebirth that she had almost forgotten what she was actually supposed to do after being reborn. Only after calming down did she realize tha...

The System: ... It was genuinely a little overwhelmed. Originally, the male lead's bankruptcy arc had only been included to give the female lead a sense of participation. Otherwise, she would simply be enjoying the male lead's wealth and success without contributing anything herself. Who could have predicted that Ye Xiqing would use it as ammunition to mock the male lead? The System felt strangely uncomfortable. It was like in the animal kingdom. Hyenas actually have remarkably high hunting success rates and are, by many measures, very successful predators. Yet they are often looked down upon. Why? Because when the weak defeat the strong through methods that seem underhanded, and the outcome appears disproportionate to their actual strength, people rarely feel satisfied. Instead, they sympathize with the stronger party. Carrying that sense of indignation, the System replied sarcastically, "So where exactly will the Host end up?" "Will you reach the position origi...

Miao Shuangshuang took charge of everything, handling the entire matter from beginning to end. Her confidence infected the whole family, filling them with excitement and anticipation. Everyone was happy. Everyone except the system. The system was on the verge of crashing. Was this really the villainous female supporting character? Her character setting had completely collapsed! What kind of villainous supporting character not only refused to sabotage the female lead, but actively helped her sell products? The system's nonexistent heart nearly seized from anger. Yet even while collapsing, it stubbornly persisted. Did Miao Shuangshuang really think she could sell something just because she said she could? Anyone could boast. If she were truly as capable as she claimed, how could she have ended up living such a miserable life in the original timeline? Ye Xiqing had clearly gone insane. Instead of relying on the flawless male lead, she had placed all her hopes on a villainous supportin...

 Ye Shiying finally agreed to give it a try. Partly because Ye Xiqing's plans sounded surprisingly convincing. And partly because exciting news arrived from Miao Shuangshuang. She got the job. Ye Shiying clutched the radio, hardly believing what she was hearing. At the time, color televisions were still considered luxury items, but black-and-white TVs had already become common. Even many rural families owned one. In the countryside, appearing on television was a tremendous honor. To ordinary villagers, the people inside that little box were practically celebrities. Yet now her own daughter was going to be on television. How could she not be thrilled? With spirits running this high, what was there to fear about brewing a few batches of liquor? Brew it! As for whether Ye Xiqing dared to start a liquor-making business with nothing but theoretical knowledge... Of course she dared. In chemistry class, she'd performed experiments with even less preparation. What was there to be afrai...
