Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

"Shen Yu, I heard someone came looking for you. Where is he? Has he left?" Shen Ercheng looked inside.

Shen Yu blocked his view and said coldly, "Get to the point."

Before they could speak, Shen Yu was about to close the door when Wang Mei immediately blocked it.

"Hey, don't close the door, something's wrong."

Shen Yu's impatience was written all over her face. Wang Mei said with a forced smile, "It's like this, your uncle and cousin are both in the hospital, and all the money in the family has been used to renovate the new house. Xiao Yu, we are your only family after all, so please lend us some money first."

"I don't need to borrow much, just one million first." She held up one finger.

It sounded like asking to borrow a dollar, and Shen Yu laughed.

"No, and even if I did, I wouldn't lend it."

Shen Yu has no need to please these people, nor does she consider them family, so naturally she won't lend them a single penny.

"Then... huh? What did you say?"

Wang Mei assumed he would definitely lend her the money. She had heard that he grew up in a wealthy family, and a million was just a small amount that would slip through their fingers for someone like him.

Besides, Shen Yu is a pitiful wretch who was kicked out of a wealthy family. He will have to live in the village from now on, and his family is Shen Yu's only relative.

Why won't you lend them such a small amount of money?

The smile on her face faltered: "Have you thought this through? Those are your uncle and cousin. Your parents passed away early, and you were forced back to the village. We are your only family."

"If anything happens in the future, won't we be the ones to rely on you? You won't even lend us this little bit of money, how can you be so heartless?"

After hearing these words, Shen Yu was not angry at all; instead, a wicked smile appeared on her face.

"Trying to morally blackmail me? I have no morals. By the way, how did those two get injured? Could it be that they did too many bad things and are now getting their comeuppance?"

"Pah, what nonsense are you spouting? They just fell by accident."

Shen Yu: "Really? Then you'd better be careful. Don't fall and die one day and blame others. There are no surveillance cameras in our countryside."

"You, if you don't want to lend it, then don't! Cursing your uncle, you're such an unfilial wretch!" Wang Mei pointed at Shen Yu and cursed.

Suddenly, a tall, burly figure rushed out, and Wang Mei screamed as she fell to the ground, leaving a shoe print on her body.

Shen Ercheng roared, "You stupid idiot, how dare you kick my mother!"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and went to fight Akahoshi, just like when he was a child. However, Akahoshi was no longer as thin as he was when he was a child.

His mind was filled with thoughts of these two people bullying his wife and that he wanted to beat them up.

Then, Chixing grabbed Shen Ercheng's arm with his left hand and swung his right fist to smash it into Shen's face.

Shen Ercheng was knocked to the ground by a punch, and Chixing took the opportunity to straddle him, punching him repeatedly until Shen Ercheng screamed in pain.

"Ah, stop hitting me, stop hitting me!"

Wang Mei, who was standing nearby, picked up a stone from the ground and was about to throw it at Chi Xing. Shen Yu, who was still watching the show, noticed her action and his face darkened.

However, he did not stop Wang Mei. Instead, he pulled Chi Xing up just as the rock was about to hit him, and the rock, which was bigger than a brick, slammed into Shen Ercheng's head.

Wang Gui, who rushed over after hearing the noise, witnessed this scene.

Shen Yu shouted loudly, "Murder! Someone is trying to kill someone!"

"Ahhh, my son—" Wang Mei screamed.

Shen Ercheng's head was split open, and blood was gushing out uncontrollably. Wang Gui glanced at Wang Mei in disbelief, then turned around and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Someone come quick, go and call Old Zhang! Someone has a head injury."

"What? Who killed someone? Xiao Hu, go call your Grandpa Zhang." The wife from next door, who was drying grain, went to call the others.

A head injury can be fatal; the person definitely needs to be taken to the hospital. Anyone with a car will help.

Old Zhang was the village's barefoot doctor, but before the doctor arrived, some villagers heard Shen Yu's shouts and rushed over.

People from a slightly farther distance arrived later, and soon quite a few people gathered in front of Akahoshi's house.

No one dared to touch Shen Ercheng, who was lying on the ground, so Wang Gui took off Shen Ercheng's clothes and pressed them onto the wound on his head.

"It's you! You're the one who ruined my son! You beat my son!" Wang Mei cried, pointing at Chi Xing.

Terrified by her blood-covered hands and crazed appearance, Chi Xing hid behind Shen Yu, shaking her head with innocent-looking eyes:

"not me."

Shen Yu, pale-faced and looking shaken, said, "Aunt, I really don't have that much money to give you. You don't need to resort to such a self-inflicted injury, do you? Two million! Where am I supposed to find that much money to give you?"

Those around Shen Yu's words widened their eyes in surprise:

"What? You're offering two million for someone?"

"Why don't you guys just fly to the moon? Two million? Have you ever seen that much money in all your years? How dare you ask for it?"

"So you're saying that you wanted Xiaoyu's money, and when she refused, you hurt yourselves?"

Some villagers couldn't stand it anymore. The Shen family was used to acting like scoundrels. After Shen Yu said that, almost everyone present believed him.

"He's talking nonsense, he's talking nonsense. That idiot just hit my son, he's the one who hit my son."

Wang Mei deliberately didn't say that she was the one who smashed the stone. What would that idiot know? She just wanted to pin the injury on him. The idiot is so rich, he can definitely pay a lot in compensation.

But she didn't know that Wang Gui had witnessed the whole thing, and she was still trying to explain herself:

“This is my son. I would never hit my son. Look at that idiot, he’s as strong as an ox. He’s the one who hit my son.”

Shen Yu didn't say anything, and Chi Xing hid behind him, trembling. The two of them looked very pitiful.

Wang Gui finally couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly, "Shut up. I saw it clearly just now. This is what you smashed."

Wang Mei tried to argue, but Wang Gui's voice was even louder: "Don't deny it. Let me tell you, at worst we'll call the police. This stone is definitely covered in your fingerprints."

A villager nodded: "Yes, yes, that's how it's portrayed on TV. It's not like you can just say who it is."

Someone couldn't help but spit on her: "Pah! Stop calling people idiots all the time. Even if someone is stupid, would they fall into a latrine in the middle of the night? Your whole family is full of idiots."

"I've disliked them for a long time. Seriously, how come our village has produced so many like them?"

"Old Zhang is here, quick, take a look at him."

A short while later, an elderly gentleman in his fifties or sixties came in. He must have just returned from harvesting rice, as there were still a few rice leaves hanging from his straw hat.

After applying some hemostatic medicine and bandaging it, Old Zhang said, "Quickly, take him to a big hospital. This injury is too serious. Who hit him so hard? It could kill someone, you know?"

His next words were very serious. Fights do happen in the village, but no one is trying to kill anyone.

Everyone knew the seriousness of the situation, and several young men lifted Shen Ercheng and carried him to the car driven by Wang Gui's older brother.
