Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"He's going to do something bad again!" 250 was overjoyed and let out a villainous roar.

The following night, when Shen Guanquan got up to use the restroom, he suddenly lost his footing and fell directly into the cesspool.

His wife, Wang Mei, screamed when she saw this. She didn't dare to pull him away, fearing that they would be dragged down together, so she could only call out to her two sons.

The neighbors who lived in the old house were long gone. When Shen Dacheng came out and saw his father in the cesspool, he could only reach out and pull him out.

However, Shen Guanquan's leg had been put in a cast during the day, so he could only stand on one leg and couldn't exert any strength on his own. After a flurry of activity, Shen Dacheng was pulled down by him as well.

Shen Ercheng didn't dare to go over, and ran while retching: "I, I'll go get other people to help, ugh..."

In the middle of the night, the village was in an uproar.

"It's such a mess. I told them to renovate the house and move out long ago, but they just wouldn't move."

“They said they had to wait for the government to give them money to move. Pshaw, they’ve already been compensated for building the house. Who owes them anything?”

"That means you reap what you sow. Who still uses a latrine these days? Even my old woman finds it disgusting."

Several women hurried to catch up with the young men, and soon after entering the Shen family's house, they could smell the stench.

He covered his mouth and nose tightly, and someone over there said, "Quick, go flush it, it stinks!"

250 laughed so hard in Shen Yu's mind: [Hahaha, they all say that Shen Guanquan's family did too many bad things and are getting their comeuppance.]

Shen Yu: [You're right, their family got what they deserved. Who told them to try and kill me? My parents are watching from heaven.]

He turned over, and Akahoshi's face was pressed against his neck, fast asleep.

250 suddenly understood and laughed: "Alright, Commander, I'll get on with it right away, hehehe."

The Shen family's home was in disarray, and the villagers helped them draw well water.

They're all from the same village, and if this awful thing gets out, it'll just become a laughing stock for people in other villages.

Suddenly a scream rang out; it was Wang Mei's voice. Since the men couldn't easily enter the house, several women quickly went inside.

"What's going on now?"

"Oh, what is this?"

Wang Mei pointed tremblingly to the embroidered shoes and an apron with an old-fashioned weaving technique not far from the bed, and someone recognized them instantly.

"Oh, isn't this something your mother-in-law knitted? What's there to be afraid of? Your mother-in-law gave it to you, didn't she?"

Everyone in the village knows that Wang Mei's mother-in-law has this skill, and the aprons she made before her death can be left to her daughter-in-law.

Wang Mei shook her head, her voice trembling: "No, I threw away my old one long ago when it was worn out. This one is new, and those shoes belong to my sister-in-law."

Everyone shuddered in fright. Shen Guanli and his wife had died in another city and only brought back their ashes. Everything in their house had been burned, so there was no way they could have found any embroidered shoes or aprons.

After a chilling thought, the group bowed to each other, muttering:

"Don't be offended, sister. There's a reason for this. We haven't done anything to wrong you."

At this moment, someone remembered that Shen Dacheng had pushed Shen Yu and immediately said, "Is this...is he back to find Shen Dacheng? He...he wants to harm Shen Yu..."

They ignored Wang Mei and quickly left the room, afraid of being mistaken for accomplices.

Wang Mei crawled out, her body limp, not daring to look at the room again, and closed the door with trembling hands.

The men outside, upon hearing this, felt their scalps tingle and cold sweat break out on their backs.

"Alright, you guys wash yourselves. It's not safe for my wife to be home alone. I'm leaving now."

One person went first, and the others, afraid of being left behind, followed suit. In the end, only Shen Guanquan's family remained in front of the Shen family's house.

Shen Guanquan was exhausted. The summer night wasn't cold, but a gust of cold wind blew by, and the group shivered.

Shen Ercheng told his older brother to stay away, "Mom and Dad should go to bed early; we have to work in the fields tomorrow."

After saying that, he went back to his room and locked the door before the others could say anything.

Wang Mei endured the nausea and helped Shen Guanquan clean up. The couple squeezed into a room with Shen Dacheng.

The next day, the news spread like wildfire, and even Shen Yu heard about it when she went out to buy meat.

"It means that people shouldn't do bad things."

When the aunt saw Shen Yu coming over, she quickly came over and told him about it, and finally whispered some words of advice to him:

"It's not that your aunt is being nosy, but I'm just reminding you to visit your parents when you have time. They probably didn't know you back then, sigh."

“He should go. When Shen Mian was alive, he would only come back once a year for Qingming Festival, and it was his grandmother who made him come back. I haven’t seen him go at all this year.”

Speaking of Shen Mian, they couldn't help but glance at Shen Yu's face. They remembered that when Shen Yu first came to the village, his face turned ugly when everyone talked about Shen Mian.

But Shen Yu was clearly in a good mood today, and his expression remained unchanged, so they felt at ease and spoke freely.

"The village chief couldn't stand it anymore, so he had A-Gui clean it up. It's in that direction, past the hill, there are two next to each other..."

Shen Yu carefully noted it down, and another day, after buying the paper money, she would take Chi Xing with her to offer sacrifices.

He didn't have much to say, so he simply cleared the weeds in front of the tombstone, burned some paper money, and placed some offerings.

On the way back, the rice in the paddy fields was already ripe, and villagers who were harvesting rice greeted them.

“Brother, the vegetables in our garden are ready to eat. I’ll take you to pick some.” Chi Xing pulled Shen Yu to his own vegetable garden.

This plot of land is not far from Chixing's house. The vegetable garden is surrounded by a bamboo fence and has a simple bamboo gate.

Chi Xing opened the gate and let Shen Yu in, saying, "This was set up by the village chief so that cattle and sheep won't get in and eat the vegetables."

"Hmm, that's good. What would you like to eat?"

Shen Yu observed the vegetable garden. It contained cucumbers, green beans, and leafy greens. The eggplant vines were laden with eggplants, which would become too old if they weren't eaten soon.

"I'll eat whatever my brother makes." Akahoshi isn't a picky eater.

As expected, Shen Yu picked some eggplants; they had already eaten all the ones at home.

He's been studying cooking these past few days, and when he makes too much, he sends it to Xiaohu's house, and sometimes to the village chief's house.

The dishes I learned to cook online are more fragrant than what the villagers cook themselves, and the kids love them too.

Chixing no longer wanted to eat the food he cooked; he wasn't picky about food, but he was picky about the dishes Shen Yu made.

"You can grow corn?" Shen Yu noticed a row of corn plants next to her.

Chixing pointed to the sweet potato leaves on another plot of land: "There are also sweet potatoes. Agui taught me how to plant them."

Shen Yu patted his head: "Our Xingxing is really amazing."

"I won't, you'll have to support me from now on."

Praised, Chi Xing grinned from ear to ear. Seeing that no one was around, he stepped forward and gave Shen Yu a bear hug.

"I can take care of you."

Noticing that his ears were starting to turn red, Shen Yu tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek: "Okay."
