Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder
Chapter 698 There's a Simpleton in the Village 15
Chi Xing coughed lightly and said earnestly to Shen Qing, "Thank you, Second Brother, for not looking down on me for being an idiot before. Last night, when we went to catch eels, I accidentally bumped my head, but it's healed now."
He explained it very clearly, leaving Shen Qing stunned: "It's possible to do that? You can even get better after a fall?"
Akahoshi nodded seriously. He couldn't very well say that his soul was incomplete before, but it was complete now.
These words were complicated to explain, so he simply said that he had recovered after the fall.
After breakfast, Akahoshi put on a raincoat and moved the flower seedlings in the yard to the eaves. The flower pots had drainage holes at the bottom, so the seedlings were not flooded.
He put on his rain boots and went to the village chief's house, using the same story he had just told Shen Qing, saying that his illness had suddenly been cured after a fall.
The village chief's family was so happy that they invited him to their home for dinner, but Chixing refused. He figured he would go home before Shen Yu woke up.
250 returned to Chixing's sea of consciousness and reported the situation in the capital: "Your Highness, you're finally back."
The Shen family is in a bit of a mess right now. Shen Yan must have dreamt about what happened later in the original story. He wanted to kick Shen Mian out of the house, but Shen Mian cried and begged to stay.
Taking advantage of the situation, Shen Yan proposed a condition: he wanted to bring Shen Yu home, but he also wanted to ensure that the property that rightfully belonged to Shen Yu was not lost.
Shen Mian refused to agree to any of these things that were detrimental to him, and he threatened suicide again, only to accidentally fall from the second floor.
The second floor of the villa is higher. Shen Mian broke a leg and an arm, and Lu Jingchen took him to the Lu family's hospital.
This incident was posted online, and Shen Mian wanted to use the internet to cyberbully Shen Yu.
However, before the video could be released, it was suppressed by Shen Yan, and Shen Mian's account was banned instead.
Shen Mian sought help from Lu Jingchen, but the Lu family was no longer the same as before. After Lu Jingchen drove away the capable second branch of the Lu family, the Lu family gradually declined.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be clinging so tightly to Shen Mian. Apart from Shen Mian, Lu Jingchen can't control anyone else in the Shen family.
Several years ago, Lu Jingchen had pursued Shen Yu, but Shen Yu rejected him time and time again. Later, she even wanted to break off the engagement, which angered Lu Jingchen.
Unexpectedly, a glimmer of hope appeared: Shen Yu was not the real young master after all; the handsome boy he saved, Shen Mian, was the real one.
From that moment on, Lu Jingchen decided to capture Shen Mian. Even if he couldn't get the entire Shen family, he could at least get their support.
But now, the Shen family isn't even paying attention to Shen Mian, which makes Lu Jingchen wonder if he's made the wrong bet.
Inside a private hospital in Beijing, a handsome young man lying on a hospital bed exudes a fierce aura.
"When will my parents pick me up?" the boy asked.
The bodyguard standing to the side said in a businesslike manner, "Third Young Master, the eldest young master said that you can go back whenever the young master returns home."
With a crash, all the food on the table was swept to the floor. Shen Mian pointed at the bodyguard with her unbandaged finger:
"What do you mean? Who is the third young master? There is no third young master here. I am the only young master of the Shen family."
The bodyguard remained expressionless, picked up his phone, and said, "Young Master, the nutritious meal that Madam sent has arrived. May I go back now?"
The man's voice on the other end was slightly cold: "Come back. You've worked hard. I'll give you a raise this month."
"Ok."
The bodyguard bowed to Shen Mian and walked out, as if he hadn't heard Shen Mian's frantic roars behind him.
But Shen Yan and his parents on the other end of the phone heard everything clearly. Shen Yan hung up the phone and looked at his parents, whose faces were grim.
“Mom and Dad, as far as I know, Shen Guanli and his wife have treated Shen Mian well over the years. They only have one child, and she has the best food, clothing and other necessities in Lihua Village.”
"After Shen Guanli and his wife passed away, Shen Mian received a relatively substantial compensation payment, which is all in his hands. With such a sum of money in the village, he should have been living quite well over the years."
Shen Yiming and his wife exchanged a glance and sighed silently. Shen Yan continued:
“If you still feel indebted, then I can refuse to take back the assets in his hands, but we must give Xiaoyu her share. The compensation to his biological parents is something Xiaoyu has never even seen.”
"Mom and Dad, Xiaoyu is living in the countryside now. His biological parents are gone, and even his only relative, his maternal grandmother, has passed away. Xiaoyu didn't even get to see her one last time."
"Don't say anymore, Xiao Yan, Mom already knows everything you're saying." Wei Qiu raised her hand to wipe away her tears: "I don't know why Xiao Yu isn't my biological daughter. My Xiao Yu is so well-behaved, Mom can't bear to part with her."
She sobbed, feeling that both her children were equally dear to her. She had watched Shen Yu grow up, from the time she could run, crawl, and call out "Mom," all while she was by her side.
These past few days, since Shen Mian returned, Wei Qiu has been enduring his fierce and menacing demeanor, barely getting a good night's sleep each night.
She thought about it night after night: if Shen Mian had been raised by her, would she have a different personality?
But there are no "what ifs". She felt guilty, thinking that she had let Shen Mian down and also felt guilty towards Shen Yu.
The best solution she could think of was to have both children raised by the Shen family, since they weren't short of money.
"I never imagined that Xiaomian would hate Xiaoyu so much. My Xiaoyu has never learned to do laundry or cook since he was little. He has no relatives in the countryside. How sad he must be."
Tears streamed down Wei Qiu's face whenever she thought about these things.
Shen Yiming, who was standing to the side, also frowned. He patted his wife on the back and said to Shen Yan, "We're old. We'll do as you say. It's not that we can't accept Shen Mian, it's that he doesn't accept us."
He held his wife, who was sobbing uncontrollably. Wei Qiu, who had always been optimistic, had grown gray hair in less than half a year, which had already made Shen Yiming feel extremely distressed.
Shen Yan comforted his mother: "Xiao Qing hasn't actually gone abroad yet. He's currently in Lihua Village with his younger brother."
"What?" Wei Qiu blinked. "Are you serious? Is that village called Pear Blossom Village?"
She pondered deeply, and only then did Shen Yan notice the look his father was giving him, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Then I heard my mother say, "Then I'll go too, I'll go find Xiaoyu." Her voice trembled slightly.
“Xiao Mian said life in the countryside is tough. Since I owe him, I’ll go to the countryside too.” With that, she hurriedly went upstairs to pack her luggage, without even glancing at her husband beside her.
After she went upstairs, Shen Yiming looked at Shen Yan helplessly.
Shen Yan looked innocent: "Dad, I didn't mean to say it, but look at Mom's condition. Crying every day isn't a solution, and even going on vacation is just a temporary fix."
Shen Yiming sighed, got up to leave, and said:
"Alright, I'll go back to your hometown with your mom. The company and the family will all depend on you."
He patted Shen Yan on the shoulder and said, "Go for it, son, you can do it."
