Time-Travel: The Tragic Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Makes a Comeback
CHAPTER 46: The 1970s Naive Supporting Girl (46)
Life like this continued all the way into her junior year. Everything seemed perfect, yet Song Susu’s mission still showed no signs of being completed.
She thought it might be because they hadn’t held a wedding yet, so they went ahead and had one during the summer of her third year.
But even after graduating in her fourth year and starting work, the mission progress still hadn’t changed.
In the end, Song Susu simply gave up worrying about it and threw herself wholeheartedly into building her career and contributing to the country.
That same year, Lu Tingxiao also transferred out of the military. His new workplace was just a street away from hers, and he would often drive over in his car to pick her up after work.
Song Yuanchao had already grown into a tall young man at 1.8 meters. Though only fifteen, he carried himself with a calm maturity beyond his years.
With a recommendation from Master Qin, he successfully secured a spot in a military academy’s youth program. In the second half of the year, he would be heading to the western region to begin his studies.
Li Huihui got married last year to a local university classmate. Both of them became teachers and now work at the same school. With similar family backgrounds and a bit of a childhood connection, their relationship felt natural, and this year she’s already expecting a baby.
Uncle Li not only didn’t retire, he actually got promoted to a higher position. Meanwhile, Wang Yanli became completely obsessed with buying shops and property. Anytime she had spare money, she invested it, and now she’s basically a wealthy lady.
Liu Yingzi studied hard for three years and finally got into university. She’s now studying in another city, and once she graduates, she’ll be assigned a job. Her future looks bright, and she still keeps in touch with Song Susu through letters.
Everyone’s life seemed to be moving in a better direction.
……
Jiang Xiaoli was finally released.
Over the years, the economy had changed so fast that everything looked completely different. When she returned to her hometown, the family house had already partially collapsed.
Her older brothers had left for other cities out of shame and never sent word back. Her mother had gone completely mad, wandering from village to village begging, no longer recognizing her daughter. Rumor had it that Wang Mazi had fallen into a ditch in the dead of winter and died years ago.
Because Jiang Xiaoli had been in prison, everyone pointed fingers at her. She had no choice but to go out and look for work, but she clearly couldn’t keep up with the times and could only do the lowest-paying, most menial jobs.
Not willing to give up, she tried to get back into her old trade and go to another city to do business. But on the train, she ran into human traffickers and was taken to the mountains to marry a fifty-year-old old bachelor.
Three years later, when the police finally raided the traffickers’ hideout, Jiang Xiaoli had already gone a little insane, muttering over and over, “Karma… it has to be karma…”
Everything that Song Susu had suffered in her previous life was now coming back to Jiang Xiaoli.
Meanwhile, Song Susu spent year after year in this era, working alongside many people to push society forward and witnessing firsthand the sweeping changes of the times.
She kept piling up wealth by acquiring more and more shops, eventually becoming a bona fide rent-collecting rich woman and achieving financial freedom early.
Using the system’s last remaining chance, she helped land a plane safely during terrible weather. Onboard were many top national scientists and key researchers, and her younger brother, Song Yuanchao, happened to be one of the escort officers.
Later on, Song Susu had a daughter, and by then Lu Tingxiao had long cemented his position among the elite.
With both parents having money and leisure, they carefully raised their only daughter, who grew up to become an outstanding scientist.
Song Susu lived to seventy. The couple passed away naturally, one after the other, leaving this world peacefully.
Ding——
“Host, task completed. Reward: 100,000 points. Current balance: 969,850. Do you wish to start the next task?”
Ye Susu heard this drowsily, her brain still trying to catch up.
Only when the system repeated itself did she rub her temples and mutter a curse under her breath.
“Damn it! Finally, you little bastard show up. I thought you’d glitched! Why did this task take so damn long?”
This was the first time Ye Susu had spent so long on a single mission.
Living a whole seventy-plus years in this world all at once made her feel a little out of place.
The system replied mechanically, “Host, this supporting female character task differs from previous side character tasks. You must meet their expectations. Song Susu’s fulfillment spans an entire lifetime, so you must follow her story from start to finish.”
Ye Susu stretched her arms and legs, cursing the stupid system under her breath for not giving a heads-up. If she had a few more of these, she was pretty sure her brain would short-circuit.
“Host, the system’s monitor indicates your vital signs are normal. Do you wish to start the next supporting female character task?”
“Not yet. Let me process this slowly.”
Ye Susu felt a mix of emotions. Previous missions were over in days or, at most, a year or two. But this one had lasted so long that she truly felt like she had lived the character’s life, and she was a little reluctant to leave it behind.
“Host, your emotions are detected to be unusually rich, which is detrimental to the completion of the next mission. Please activate the one-click hiding mode.”
Ye Susu felt her emotions were running a little wild, so she activated hide mode.
Her head spun, and all the memories of the previous task instantly blurred. She knew she had completed it, but the story itself felt like it had been pixelated.
All the exhaustion vanished from her body in an instant. Her usual energy came rushing back, and she asked brightly, “What’s the next task? Let’s just jump right in.”
System: “Host, please receive the storyline. Transmission will begin shortly.”
