Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

With a smile, Lu Jingchen snatched the microphone from his parents, who were not exactly presentable, and said some polite words.

Lu Jingchen's parents were both lazy and good-for-nothing. He relied on his parents when he was young, and after he grew up and had enough fun, he got married and had a child, and then relied on the child.

Growing up in such an environment, Lu Jingchen had to plan for himself, but no matter what he did over the years, he was no match for his second uncle and cousin.

Now he can only rely on himself and Shen Mian. When Shen Mian comes to live with him, Lu Jingchen doesn't believe that the Shen family will just watch Shen Mian suffer.

The wedding proceeded as planned. Shen Yu looked up at Shen Mian on the platform, who had a victorious expression on her face, as if to say, "Look, your fiancé of over ten years is mine. So what if you have your parents' love?"

In fact, Shen Mian really thought so. In his eyes, how could Lu Jingchen, this young master from Beijing, not be better than a fool from the countryside?

He thought Shen Yu was blind, having fallen for such a fool after only a few days back in the village, completely forgetting that Chi Xing was now richer than Lu Jingchen.

Shen Yu smiled faintly, as if Shen Mian meant nothing to him.

Chixing ate another plate of meat. Wei Qiu liked Chixing more and more as he watched him eat. Watching this child eat made people's appetites increase.

Shen Qing, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. When did Chi Xing start eating so much? He had never seen Chi Xing eat so much back in the village.

Shen Yu remained calm and waved to the hotel manager, asking him to order more dishes to be sent over.

Chixing ate her fill of the meal, and Shen Mian married into the Lu family as she wished, becoming a member of the Lu family.

As the weather gets colder, Akahoshi put on thick winter clothes.

As I stepped out of the living room, I saw Shen Yu on the phone.

"Yes, you can collect it in other counties too. Someone will transport it then."

Chi Xing sat next to Shen Yu and instinctively snuggled into his arms; Shen Yu's embrace was always warm.

Shen Yu put her arm around him, said a few words, and then hung up the phone.

"Is something wrong in the village?" Chi Xing lay down on the sofa, his head resting on Shen Yu's lap.

"Well, A-Gui said this batch of medicinal herbs isn't ripe yet, so I told them to go to other counties to collect them."

"It must be cold over there, right? Will anyone go dig there?"

It wasn't grown by myself; I might have to dig it up in the mountains. Although there's plenty of this kind of medicinal herb in the mountains, the weather is cold.

Shen Yu stroked his hair and chuckled, "Some people will go dig, but it's only when winter is approaching that more people go. The villagers have nothing to do in winter, so they all want to make money."

"That's true, Ayu, shall we go back to the village for the New Year? Or shall we go to my parents' house?"

After Shen Mian got married and moved away, Shen Yiming and his wife returned to their original villa, leaving Shen Yu and Chi Xing to live there.

Shen Mian was dissatisfied with this, but Shen Yan retorted that since the property had already been divided among him, he had no right to ask for anything else.

Wei Qiu didn't side with him either, so Shen Mian had no choice but to live with Lu Jingchen's family in a dejected manner.

"Let's go to Mom and Dad's house."

"By the way, Shen Guanquan is dead."

"What?" Akahoshi was a little surprised, but only slightly.

Shen Yu said expressionlessly, "My uncle returned home after being discharged from the army and learned about everything that had happened in the family. That very day, he beat up Shen Guanquan and his son. He got my number and called me."

Shen Yucai learned that his uncle had been in a secret service unit all these years, and his grandmother didn't know about it either, just thinking that he was never home.

He only learned about Shen Yu's situation when Shen Mian called him that time, but he didn't plan to compete with Shen Yu for those fields and property. Because of the secrecy, he couldn't go home until he was discharged from the army.

But when he got home, he learned that his mother had passed away. Shen Yu told him about the medicine mountain and asked him if he wanted to join.

“I asked my uncle to find some retired and unemployed people to work as security guards and transporters in our Yaoshan. My uncle just wanted to start his own business.”

Akahoshi felt comfortable being patted on the head, so he squinted his eyes and lazily yawned.

"Okay, whatever you say, honey. You're the boss, and I'm your little secretary."

Shen Yu gently pinched his earlobe and said with amusement, "Stop reading those messy novels."

"Hmm? You still haven't told me how Shen Guanquan died."

Shen Yu had really forgotten about it. After all, Shen Guanquan wasn't an important person. He only mentioned it to Chi Xing because A Gui mentioned it earlier.

"My uncle beat them up. Shen Guanquan thought it was all Shen Dacheng's fault. In addition, Shen Dacheng owed a lot of money and emptied his family's savings. In a fit of anger, he beat Shen Dacheng up."

“Shen Dacheng was spoiled since childhood. He was beaten twice in one day and instinctively fought back. Whether it was an accident or something else, Shen Guanquan stabbed him to death with a fruit knife.”

Shen Yu curled her lips and said, "Shen Dacheng accidentally killed someone, but his crime is much more serious than Wang Mei's."

“He deserved it.” Chi Xing hugged Shen Yu’s waist and buried her face in his chest.

The reason I haven't dealt with Shen Dacheng is simply because I want to see him fall and suffer.

He murdered his father; that's enough to make him suffer for the rest of his life.

*

This was the first year that Shen Yu and Chi Xing were together, and they went back to the Shen family home for the New Year.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Yu's younger uncle and uncle-in-law visited her with gifts to express their gratitude to the Shen family for taking care of her over the years.

It was only then that Shen Yu learned that she had a younger uncle, whom she had previously assumed was single.

Upon seeing his uncle, Shen Yan gave a cryptic smile.

"Hello, I am your uncle, Jing Heng." A cool and aloof beauty with medium-length gray-blue hair looked at Shen Yu with gentle eyes.

The tall man beside him had a silly grin on his face, and his features were somewhat similar to Shen Yu's. You didn't even need to look to know that this was his uncle, Yang Mo.

"So, you've been saying you're pursuing someone, and that person is him?" Shen Yan clenched his fist and gently placed it on Jing Heng's shoulder.

Jing Heng nodded, without hiding anything: "I had my eye on him six years ago, and it took me three years to win him over. How about it, isn't he handsome?"

Shen Qing blinked: "He really is handsome, like my little brother."

Yang Mo blushed and felt a little embarrassed. He used to be a straight man, and he just happened to save someone while doing a mission.

As a result, that person stuck with him. Well, actually, Jing Heng was the most handsome; he was the most handsome person he had ever seen.

Once inside, Yang Mo resumed his role as Shen Yu's elder, earnestly thanking Shen Yiming and his wife.
