Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1965 - 1966: Passerby Female Intellectual Youth 108

Wang Yan marrying a fake was news that Zhang Yu, of course, soon knew, and when she knew, the people of the Zhang Family, of course, also soon knew.

Zhang Jie still remembered the letter Wang Yan wrote to Zhang Yu, it was a proud one, "In the end, she married a stepfather’s son from a factory director’s house."

Zhang Jie really didn’t know what to say, "I heard from Zhao Yu that back then Zhang Jie was trying to pursue the son from the factory director’s family as eagerly as a former servant."

"Whatever the other party said, she would obediently do it immediately, but in the end..." The more Zhang Jie thought about it, the more amused she felt, "I guess she’s falling apart now. If there were no kids, it would be easier to say, but now there’s a child..."

If it were in later years, having a child wouldn’t matter, it wouldn’t stop her from seeking a second chance at love, especially for someone as selfish as Wang Yan, nothing could stop her.

Unfortunately, in the 1970s, going out always needed an introduction letter. Without it, you couldn’t buy train tickets or find accommodation, and carelessness could easily label you as a vagrant, so sneaking away wasn’t an easy task.

"It was a marriage she chose by herself." Zhang Yu could only say, back then it was her own choice, and now, even if kneeling, she must finish the journey.

"By the way, will you write a letter to Wang Yan?" Back then, someone was so smug, now knowing her outcome, it’s unclear whether Zhang Yu would write a letter to mock her a bit.

Write a letter to Wang Yan just to congratulate her on marrying a fake? Zhang Yu looked at the math book in her hand, "Why waste money, why should I brag with her?"

"Because she was insecure, felt worse than me in grades, less attractive, and most importantly, I had great parents and a brother, as for her, all she had was plotting against her parents and siblings."

"She thought, what if I returned to the city, I didn’t get married, but she was different, even if she was a youth intellectual on a farm, she married into a wealthy family, the second son of a factory director, her father-in-law was capable, her elder brother-in-law was too, certainly, they could support them somewhat."

"In the end, it all turned to nothing, and more importantly, the in-law family wouldn’t provide any support, could she feel good?"

"And also, I wouldn’t laugh at her, I feel no need for that, but Wang Yan, after having her moment, would definitely write back to mock her brother and sister."

"Once they know Wang Yan married a fake..." Zhang Yu could already guess how the Wang Family would laugh at her once they knew her situation.

"But I guess she’ll keep it a secret." How could Wang Yan let others know her life was unsatisfactory? Even if her life was miserable, she was a person who valued face.

Wang Yan certainly wouldn’t tell her family that she married a fake, knowing that if she did, her maternal family would only ridicule her in various ways.

The Wang Family didn’t know she married a fake, they often bragged that Wang Yan married the second son of a big factory director, that once she had the child, she could return to the city, and they’d surely arrange an office job for her.

Clearly thinking people wouldn’t take the Wang Family’s words seriously, if they could really arrange a job for their daughter-in-law, why didn’t they help their son get a job initially?

Some who heard Wang Yan married well began plotting to benefit from her, for example, Elder Sister Wang Yan’s in-law family started planning these things.

Elder Sister Wang Yan also married well, but her in-laws looked down on her in various ways, disliking her, Elder Sister Wang Yan knew her sister married well and boasted about it at home.

Originally, the in-law family just listened, everyone knew Wang Yan wasn’t on good terms with her maternal family, why else would she not return after so many years as a youth intellectual, only returning the first year and not after.

Even when her brother and sister got married, she didn’t return, if she didn’t come back, it was fine, but not sending gifts or money meant essentially severing ties with her family.

Now that she married well, how would she care whether her family lived or died, especially being with that far-off mechanical factory director, it was useless.

Unexpectedly, the in-law’s family on Elder Sister Wang Yan’s side needed some parts from that mechanical factory for some problem, only to be told by the other party that the workload was heavy and it might be three months before they could deliver.

It made that relative anxious, it was a mistake on his work, this order should have been placed months ago, but some incident made him forget, assuming it was already placed.

Then the production department urged him, and when he went to urge the order, he found out he forgot, and reordering would take three months at least, even if everything went smoothly.

But the workshop needed the parts immediately, absolutely couldn’t wait that long, so the relative asked everyone for help, hoping to solve the problem.

The opposite party, in despair, sought solutions everywhere, not realizing how far between the two places, how could they contact the mechanical factory, so despite being tempted by the job offer for a formal role, they could only drool over it, having no way to obtain it.

The news reached Elder Sister Wang Yan’s mother-in-law, who immediately remembered that Wang Yan married into the factory director’s family, and her youngest son was about to graduate high school. If no job was found, he’d have to be a youth intellectual. Solving this would mean getting a formal job.

Since the mother-in-law asked, Elder Sister Wang Yan naturally went back to her maternal family for help, not wanting to find Wang Yan, as she knew Wang Yan wouldn’t bother, or rather, wouldn’t bother with their family.

But that didn’t matter, if Wang Yan wouldn’t help, there was still Mother Wang.

Upon hearing her eldest daughter’s request, Mother Wang too set her mind to work, having always pinned high hopes on this daughter, wanting her to marry well and help the family a little.

But reality was cruel. She married well but didn’t care about the family at all, so for this time asking Wang Yan for help, she went directly to ask for benefits since their family needed this job too.

Elder Sister Wang Yan didn’t know her mother had such plans, happy for completing the mother’s task.

After sending off the eldest daughter, Mother Wang discussed it overnight with her husband, and of course, Father Wang was in agreement, "Of course, we should take this benefit, why let them have it."

Mother Wang nodded repeatedly, "I think so too, originally hoping the eldest daughter would help, but in the end..."

Mother Wang knew this matter had to be done quickly, so the next day, she got an introduction letter from the street office, using her daughter’s pregnancy as an excuse to visit her.
