The Supporting Character Survives in the 90s by Earning Money

Meng Suihuan, a modern woman from the twenty-first century, dies in a car accident and transmigrates into the body of a girl with the same name in 1997. She awakens in a rural village to find herself in the middle of a chaotic wedding day, where she had collapsed after being humiliated by her fiancé, Lu Linshen, who abandoned her. The original owner of the body was branded a bringer of bad luck by the villagers due to rumors and family disputes. Meng Suihuan quickly realizes she is bound to a Survival System that informs her the host has a terminal illness and only three months of life remaining. The system offers a solution: she can earn life points by making money, effectively trading wealth for longevity.

Initially stranded in the impoverished Lu Family Village with no resources, Meng Suihuan assesses her situation and decides to start a business. She observes that local villagers grow vegetables but sell them for negligible prices, often letting them rot. Identifying a market opportunity, she approaches the villagers and negotiates to buy their produce at a slightly higher rate, promising to resell it in the nearby town. She enlists the help of her uncle, Meng Changsheng, a reliable truck driver, to handle transportation. Her first venture is successful, earning her over a hundred yuan and a small increase in her life points. This success strengthens her resolve and improves her standing within the Lu family, who initially viewed her with suspicion due to the negative rumors surrounding her.

As her business grows, Meng Suihuan faces various challenges. She encounters resistance from villagers who attempt to raise prices or stir up trouble, but she handles them with firmness and strategic negotiation, asserting her authority. She also deals with her biological parents, Meng Weidong and Zheng Xiujuan, who arrive demanding money. Meng Suihuan refuses to give them any funds, leading to a confrontation where she fakes a medical episode to deter her abusive father from attacking her. The Lu family, particularly Lu Miaomiao and Lu’s parents, support her, marking a significant shift in their relationship from hostility to alliance.

Meng Suihuan expands her operations by renting an abandoned flour mill to serve as a processing and distribution center. She recruits a team of drivers under Meng Changsheng’s leadership and secures contracts with multiple restaurants. Her business acumen allows her to navigate the local economy effectively, turning a small profit into a substantial income. She also discovers that the system rewards her with life points not just for money earned, but for positive social contributions and emotional connections, encouraging her to improve the livelihoods of the villagers.

The story follows Meng Suihuan as she builds a sustainable business empire in a backward rural setting. She balances the pressure of her dwindling lifespan with the demands of expanding her enterprise.

Meanwhile, she maintains a professional relationship with the Lu parents, who become her allies in managing the household and supporting her ventures. The narrative highlights her determination to change her fate through hard work and intelligence, overcoming the obstacles posed by her original family and the skeptical community.

She faces competition and skepticism but remains steadfast in her goals. The arrival of new characters, such as Cheng Xin, a single mother seeking collaboration, adds depth to the social dynamics of the village. Meng Suihuan’s empathy and willingness to help others further enhance her reputation and life points. The story continues to unfold as she navigates the complexities of rural life in the nineties, striving to extend her life while building a better future for herself and those around her.
