Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

All of the Shen family's assets fell into Shen Mian's hands. She married into the Lu family with her family fortune and became Lu Jingchen's wealthy wife.

250 cleared his throat and read a passage from the original text: "[With the merger of the Shen and Lu groups and the support of Shen Mian, the Lu Shen Group gradually grew stronger and became the richest in the country.]"

Lu Jingchen is responsible for earning money to support the family, while Shen Mian is responsible for being beautiful and occasionally going live to show off her pampered, carefree life.

Shen Yu: ...

"Can you please stop reading?" His tone seemed calm, but he was actually at his wit's end.

250 (Suppressing Laughter): [Actually, there's also their married life. Shen Mian wanted a child, so he secretly used Lu Jingchen's...]

A crackling sound of electricity came from his mind, and 250 instantly flashed into his little dark room, not daring to make a sound again.

Shen Yu snorted coldly and finally quieted down.

He wasn't interested in the lives of those two, but he still felt he had to remind them about the Shen family.

An arm suddenly stretched out and draped across Shen Yu's chest, and Chi Xing's hoarse murmurs rang in Shen Yu's ears:

"elder brother……"

Shen Yu didn't hear what was said next.

He put down his phone, reached out and patted Akahoshi's back, as if he were coaxing a child to sleep.

As Chi Xing gradually fell into a deep sleep, his arms, which had been lying horizontally, began to hug Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was happy to indulge him and turned to close her eyes in his arms.

The next morning, Shen Yu woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside the window. When she opened her eyes, she met Chi Xing's darting eyes.

She then realized that she was resting her head on Akahoshi's arm, nestled in his arms.

Looking into those pure eyes, Shen Yu coughed lightly, sat up, and pretended to be calm, saying:

"What would you like for breakfast?"

Akahoshi remained silent and motionless on the bed.

"Hmm?" Shen Yu turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Akahoshi blinked her big, watery eyes, too embarrassed to speak, and too afraid to get up.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt?" Shen Yu noticed that something was wrong with him, crawled over, and reached out to touch his forehead.

My forehead isn't hot.

Akahoshi said embarrassedly, "Brother, I... Waaah, I wet the bed."

Shen Yu: ? ?

He couldn't believe it; he wished he were deaf.

No, Xingxing is just silly, how could she wet the bed?

Akahoshi pouted sadly, convinced that her brother must hate her and would move away and abandon her soon.

Shen Yu sighed softly and resigned herself to finding Chi Xing's pants.

In Akahoshi's view, this action meant that he was really angry and wanted to leave.

"Brother, I'm sorry."

Chi Xing sat up and grabbed Shen Yu's hand to stop him from leaving, causing the blanket on his body to slip off, and Shen Yu smelled a strange floral fragrance.

Shen Yu: ...

I understand, it's not bedwetting anymore, it's just that the child is growing up.

Suddenly feeling like she was raising a son, Shen Yu said softly, "I'll go get you your pants first, and I'll explain later."

It was too hot in the summer, so Shen Yu took out some underwear and shorts from the closet for him to change into.

"Brother, turn around." Akahoshi said shyly.

Shen Yu turned her back to him and waited. After changing her pants, Shen Yu instructed Chi Xing to take apart and wash the quilt himself.

Chi Xing obediently listened, glancing at Shen Yu every now and then, worried that he would leave.

After putting the duvet cover in the washing machine, Shen Yu gave him a lesson on what it means for a man to grow up.

It's unclear how much he understood; the little simpleton kept nodding, and finally asked a question:

Is it really possible to have a baby?

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yu said, "Men and women can be together, but men and men cannot."

Akashi blinked her big eyes: "Male, male?"

I don't know what was on his mind again, but his ears turned bright red, and his wheat-colored cheeks also flushed.

"Correct."

Shen Yu was about to say something when she heard a loudspeaker blaring from the village: "Rice noodles, steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk."

"What do you want to eat? I'll go buy breakfast." Shen Yu didn't really want to make breakfast.

Akahoshi: "Anything is fine."

Shen Yu told him to wait while she went out.

Akahoshi sat on a small stool in the yard, staring blankly at his back, muttering to herself, "Like in my dream with you, brother?"

Shen Yu, who vaguely heard those words: ...

Well, even if this person becomes a simpleton, he's still not honest.

She walked briskly towards the village, a beautiful smile unconsciously curving her lips.

When I got to the breakfast stall, I ran into someone who looked vaguely familiar.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaoyu? I heard you fell into the water yesterday? People who grew up in the city are different; I heard you can even save people."

Shen Guanquan clearly had no idea that it was his good son who pushed Shen Yu into the fishpond yesterday, and he even had the audacity to speak to Shen Yu in front of him.

Shen Yu only remembered that this person was his uncle whom he had only met once when he heard him speak. He sneered and said:

“Uncle should go back and ask your good son. He was always following me around these days. Yesterday, he pushed me into the fishpond from behind.”

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for people who came to buy breakfast to hear him.

All eyes were on Shen Guan, and someone couldn't help but say, "Did Shen Dacheng push you? How could Shen Dacheng be so wicked?"

Others also began to criticize: "I knew he wasn't a good person. He was a petty thief when he was young, and now he dares to kill someone."

"Keeping this kind of person around is just asking for trouble. Guan Quan, I'm not trying to criticize you, but how did you raise your son?"

“This is your own brother’s son. He’s only come home after all these years. Are you trying to kill him?”

Shen Guan's expression changed drastically, but he quickly calmed down and pointed at the person who had just spoken ill of him, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who saw my son do it?"

“My son was just passing by there yesterday. Didn’t you hear? He saw the idiot push Shen Yu. If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense. Be careful, or I’ll sue you for defamation.”

The others exchanged glances. There were no surveillance cameras or anything like that in the countryside, and no one had seen anything, so they didn't know what to say.

Shen Yu scoffed, "Then why does he follow me around every day? Is he planning to steal something?"

The villagers nearby started talking about it again.

"I think he just wants to steal, like Shen Dacheng, who once stole my chickens."

“He definitely stole the corn from my field. My kids saw it, but he just won’t admit it.”

As more and more people report that things have been stolen from their homes—a chicken here, a bunch of vegetables there—the police are not taking any action when they report these things to the police.

But Shen Guanquan dared not admit it. He slapped his thigh and shouted:

"Nonsense! What don't we have at home? Why would we steal from you?"

He then pointed at Shen Yu and said, "You are my brother's own son, which is why I asked my son to take care of you a little more. You're really biting the hand that feeds you."

Someone couldn't stand it and mocked, "Tsk, still looking after him? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? With your son's behavior, I think Shen Yu is right, maybe your son is planning to kill someone and rob them?"

"Nonsense!" Shen Guanquan stubbornly retorted, "If you're so capable, produce evidence. Don't just open your mouth and say my son harmed you. Produce evidence, witnesses and physical evidence, or you're making false accusations."

With that, he abandoned his breakfast purchase and turned to go home.
