Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

"Host, the person whom the gods in heaven ordered to die was saved by you."

Yuanchun said innocently, "I didn't mean to go against the God of Heaven, but Cao Hui is my mission. I have no choice. I don't want the mission to fail. However, fortunately, the heroine has gone to the county town. As long as the heroine likes the hero, there will be no need for the male supporting role in the future. The God of Heaven should not embarrass the male supporting role anymore."

In fact, Cao Hui is not even considered a supporting male role.

He is a cannon fodder at best.

In his previous life, Cao Hui died in a converted farm.

He and the original owner are a pair of pitiful cannon fodder in the plot.

……

In the afternoon, Yuanchun went to the mountain to chop firewood. When she came back, she saw Cao's mother standing at her door.

When Cao's mother saw Yuanchun carrying such a large bundle of firewood that it almost bent her thin body to the ground, she walked over with sympathy and said, "Yuanchun, why are you carrying so much firewood? You are still young. You should work slowly and don't tire yourself out."

As he said this, he put down the basket in his hand and went to get firewood.

Yuanchun quickly avoided her hand and said, "Aunt Cao, you don't need me. I can carry you inside."

The gate of her house was not locked but bolted from the inside. She reached in and fiddled with the bolt, and the gate opened.

After Yuanchun put down the firewood and washed her face, she smiled and said, "Aunt Cao, please come in and sit down."

"You look tired, so I won't go in." Mother Cao held her hand, her eyes slightly red. "Yuanchun, I'm here to thank you. Huizi told me that you saved him. Thank you, auntie. If it weren't for you, my Huizi would have..."

"Aunt, Brother Huizi is fine now, don't cry."

"Yes, my son is fine, thanks to you. I don't have anything good to thank you, so I brought you some eggs that I saved at home. You must accept them."

There is a custom in the village that if you save someone, you must give something to the benefactor, one is to express gratitude, the other is to get rid of bad luck.

Saving a life can easily lead to you being tainted with the bad luck of the person being saved, so a thank-you gift must be given to dispel the bad luck.

If no thank-you gift is sent to ward off bad luck, the person who saves the person will suffer misfortune.

This custom has been passed down from generation to generation.

Even though superstition is banned now, the villagers will continue this custom.

So Yuanchun didn't hesitate, took the eggs with a smile, poured out the basket and returned it to Cao's mother, and then Cao's mother left.

In the evening, after Yuanchun finished her meal and was about to close the door to rest, she saw Cao Hui sneaking in from outside. Yuanchun was still wondering, "Brother Huizi, why are you here? Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Yuanchun, thank you for saving me this morning. I owe you my life." Cao Hui took out a small cloth bag from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand. "This is all my private money. I'll give it to you."

After saying that, the person ran away.

Yuanchun was left behind, holding a bag of money, and was stunned for a long time.

007 was laughing in the system space, "Pfft... No wonder he killed someone for the original owner in his previous life. This guy is really honest."

"It's simple and honest, but also sincere."

The other person came to thank her sincerely and gave her all his private money. Although it was not much money, the fact that he was willing to give it to her meant that he was truly grateful to her.

Yuanchun closed the gate, returned to her room, and poured the money on the kang.

A lot of them were small change, one-cent, two-cent, and five-cent coins and bills, and the largest was a two-yuan bill. She counted them and found a total of nineteen yuan and seventy-eight cents.

It’s not a lot of money, but it’s not a small amount either.

In rural areas, if the bride price is low, you can marry a wife with just 20 yuan.

This money is enough for Cao Hui to marry a wife.

Yuanchun put the money in a small wooden box, locked it in the box, and went to sleep.
