Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Six months later, Chi Yu released a new song, which was said to be written for his newlywed wife.

Zhou Wantang is reborn with her memories intact, but this time she is an orphan and is adopted by a couple from abroad.

Years later, she came to the school where Chiyu was as an exchange student.

The two confessed their feelings and became the envy of others as a loving couple.

Chi Yu carefully preserved that handwritten lyric book, and even the crabapple blossoms were made into specimens and stored away.

Chi Xing accompanied Qing Yu on her travels. When Qing Yu turned thirty, they returned to Qing Shan Xuan Men and resumed Qing Yu's previous life.

The difference is that they can eat fresh food air-freighted every day, without having to go all the way down the mountain to buy it.

When he turned fifty, Chi Xing took Qing Yu back to the Chi residence to live and start his retirement life ahead of schedule.

Qingyu is responsible for being brainless, and Chixing is responsible for spoiling her.

When Qingyu was ninety-nine years old, he asked Chixing to take him to the Chi family's ancestral graves.

Chi Xing carried the frail Qing Yu to his former main tomb chamber, where the luxurious golden coffin was still in place. The two lay down inside.

Holding Qingyu in her arms, Chixing buried her face in the crook of his neck.

"I'm leaving, Xingxing." Qingyu's voice was always gentle.

Chi Xing regained his youthful appearance and kissed away the tears from Qing Yu's eyes.

"I'll stay with you, don't be afraid, I'll come find you in the next life."

"it is good."

Chi Xing held Qing Yu tightly. Even though his hair was all white and he was no longer young, A Yu would always be his only one.

At this moment, 250 was sent back and appeared on the golden coffin.

Your Highness, don't be sad.

Chi Xing watched as Qing Yu's Heavenly Soul fragment floated out, rubbed against his face, and then floated into the crimson bracelet.

Akahoshi's gaze softened as she lowered her head and kissed the bracelet.

"Ayu, wait for me."

"Have you heard? Another group of educated youth are coming to the village."

"We've come so early this year, just in time for the autumn harvest."

For the villagers, the educated youth going to the countryside meant working together. The sooner they came, the better, so they could be taught how to do the work and the autumn harvest would be easier.

"Yuzhi, is your grandmother feeling any better?"

At the village well, a young man was drawing water, and an older woman was talking to him.

The young man was fairer-skinned than the other men, with strong facial features and a sharp jawline. Even the aunties who often saw him in the village wanted to introduce their relatives' daughters to him.

Unfortunately, Gu Yuzhi was unlucky; his parents passed away early, leaving him and his grandmother to depend on each other for survival.

With an elderly person to support him and no in-laws to help him, no one dared to marry their daughter to him.

When people asked about her grandmother's health, Gu Yuzhi remained expressionless, but she became more talkative than usual.

He said, "Yes, I feel much better."

After saying that, he picked up the two buckets of water and left.

Aunt He shook her head, her face full of regret.

"What a pity for such a good young man. If his parents hadn't passed away so early, how come he's already twenty and still no one is willing to date him?"

That's true, and the other aunties wholeheartedly agreed: "If the family were more well-off, it would be fine, but look at their family, they only have two rooms, what's the use of having a big yard?"

Gu Yuzhi had just returned from fetching water when he heard people talking in the main room.

"Why bother with good wood? Just use the kind sold outside that's painted red. Why bother? When people die, it's all the same. What coffin is it if you're just buried in the ground?"

The woman's voice was shrill, which Gu Yuzhi found grating.

Then came a man's voice:

"Mom, look, we're not a wealthy family. If something happens to you, we'll only be able to afford an ordinary coffin."

He used the honorific "you" repeatedly, his tone clearly conveying arrogance and condescension, as if he were bestowing a handout.

Moreover, the things they were discussing...

Enraged, Gu Yuzhi put down the bucket and went inside. With his strong arms, he pulled the two people sitting in the room up and dragged them out.

This woman is named Gu Hehua, and she is his aunt. Ever since his parents passed away, this aunt has always been strange and sarcastic whenever she comes to visit.

"Hey, you brat, what are you doing?"

Gu Hehua's voice was shrill, which made Gu Yuzhi tighten his grip on her wrist.

After he had thrown them both away, he turned back and threw out the few unripe persimmons they had brought with them.

"Get out! Grandma's affairs are none of your business."

"Hey, you brat! I'm your aunt! How can you treat your elders like this?" Gu Hehua pointed at him and scolded him.

"Elders? Do you even consider your grandmother an elder? Get out of my house and don't ever come back, or I'll make you regret it."

After saying that, Gu Yuzhi pushed Liu Fu, who was about to speak, to the ground without any politeness.

Liu Fu is Gu Hehua's husband. Relying on his second uncle being the head of the village committee in the next village, he always acts arrogantly when he comes to their house.

For his grandmother's sake, Gu Yuzhi never held grudges against them, but what he overheard today...

Gu Yuzhi thought that no matter what, Grandma was Gu Hehua's biological mother. Even if she didn't come to visit every few days, she should at least say something nice to make the old lady happy every time she came.

But what did she do?

Discussing what coffin to buy in front of his grandmother, especially while she was ill, how could Gu Yuzhi not be angry?

He was completely disappointed in his aunt and decided to treat her as if she were no longer a relative.

Gu Yu threw out all the things they had brought and slammed the courtyard gate shut.

The two who were kicked out didn't dare to argue anymore, lest they lose face.

Gu Hehua picked up the persimmons from the ground and snorted, "If you don't want to come, then don't come. You jinx, you've cursed my brother and sister-in-law to death. I won't come even if you invite me next time."

Liu Fu looked furious:

"Alright, stop talking. You're really ungrateful. This is perfect, we've saved on the cost of the coffin. Don't blame us for being unfilial later."

Gu Yuzhi silently carried the water to the kitchen.

Their yard was bigger than others, but they only had two houses and one kitchen.

This house was built when he was three years old. His parents originally planned to build several more brick houses.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a mudslide on their way to the county town, and neither of them managed to escape.

Since then, Gu Yuzhi has only her grandmother left as a relative.

Thinking about all this made Gu Yuzhi feel even more distressed.

His grandmother's hair was already gray, and her health wasn't very good. Thinking about this, he shook his head again, banishing all the bad thoughts from his mind.

Upon entering the main room, Yang Guixiang was leaning against the kang (a heated brick bed), her kind face somewhat pale.

Gu Yuzhi poured a bowl of water, walked up to Yang Guixiang and said, "Grandma, would you like some water?"

Yang Guixiang nodded gently.

After drinking some water, Yang Guixiang reached out and patted Gu Yuzhi's hand.

"I'm getting old, this is bound to happen eventually."

Gu Yuzhi held back her tears and turned to put down the bowl.

"She won't grow old; Grandma will live to be a hundred."

"Don't listen to their nonsense. I'll beat them up every time they come."

Yang Guixiang chuckled and pretended to scold, "You have no manners, that's your aunt."

Gu Yuzhi snorted coldly: "Who cares who she is, this is my home."
