Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

The courtyard was settled. Someone used to live in this courtyard, but now that family has moved out. The house is empty, and they need to clean it again before they can move in.

They spent the whole morning on this, and in the afternoon they went to a furniture store to order custom furniture.

The furniture is made of ordinary wood, with no other requirements: chests, cabinets, tables, chairs, benches, and beds.

Chixing also plans to build a pharmacy for Liu Yu, complete with medicine cabinets, bookshelves, desks, and other equipment.

In total, it cost another fifty taels.

After doing all this, they boarded the oxcart back to town.

Chi Xing said, "I'll come back in a few days to have someone renovate it, and I'll be able to move in soon."

Liu Yu was overjoyed and chatted and laughed with Chi Xing all the way back, her words full of anticipation for the future.

As soon as they reached the village entrance, 250 spoke up: "Your Highness, hurry to the Liu family's house. Old Madam Chen has sent someone to assess Liu Guihua; she probably wants to marry her off this evening."

Upon hearing this, Chi Xing quickened his pace, pulling Liu Yu along with him.

They had originally planned to deliver medicine to Liu Guihua first, but Liu Yu assumed that he just wanted to finish delivering the medicine quickly and go up the mountain.

Before even reaching the Liu family's house, they could hear a commotion ahead, and Liu Yu could also vaguely hear Liu Guihua's voice.

He rushed towards the Liu family's house, pushing through the crowd. He saw that the courtyard gate had been smashed open, and Old Mrs. Chen was dragging Liu Guihua out by the hand.

"You're getting married today whether you like it or not. You're a widow who only knows how to seduce men all day long. If you don't get married soon, all the men in this village will be taken away by you."

Old Mrs. Chen had a loud voice, and when she shouted it out, those who wanted to speak up for Liu Guihua all shut their mouths.

As the saying goes, there's always gossip around a widow's door. Liu Guihua is beautiful, and even after years of wind and sun, she remains fair and clean. Compared to other rural women, she is truly captivating.

The women and husbands were more or less jealous of her, not to mention some men who had their eyes glued to her whenever they saw her.

Old Mrs. Chen's words just now reminded them that as long as Liu Guihua gets married, their husbands and sons won't be watching her all the time.

The men around felt sorry for her, but dared not step forward to stop her. If anyone did, it would be an admission that they were after Widow Liu.

They care about their image and may look at things, but they wouldn't truly distance themselves from their family for a widow.

At this moment, the village chief, Fu Lang, directly grabbed the village chief who was about to go up and stop him, and said:

"Why are you stopping her from getting married? This is someone else's family matter. Why are you interfering in a widow's marriage?"

The village chief frowned: "This is different. Liu Shi just doesn't seem happy about it."

The village chief's husband secretly pinched his waist and said with displeasure, "What? She's a sickly woman, and now her son has been sold. Do you really intend to support her?"

When Liu Guihua was kicked out before, the village chief and his wife were quite sympathetic to her.

But later, the village chief arranged a house for her to live in and found someone to build a yard for her, which made the village chief's husband feel uneasy.

Over time, rumors circulated that Widow Liu often flirted with the men in the village, and the village chief's husband's sympathy for her vanished.

Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If Widow Liu knew how to be discreet, why would the men stare at her?

The village chief still wants to protect her? The village chief's husband is absolutely not happy about it.

"No, I won't marry him! I'm Chen Xu's wife, and Chen Xu is my husband! Let me go!"

Liu Guihua cried out in despair, trying to break free from Old Mrs. Chen who was holding her.

Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Chen was very strong, and the frail Liu Guihua was no match for her. She could only be dragged out and fall to the ground.

"Stop! Let go of my mother!"

Liu Yu wasn't carrying anything in her hands, and she rushed over and knocked Old Lady Chen away. Because no one helped her up, Old Lady Chen fell straight to the ground and screamed in pain.

When she recognized the person as Liu Yu, she immediately shouted, "Oh my God, how dare your own grandson beat his grandmother? He's really not afraid of being struck by lightning! You little beast, you caused your father's death back then, and now you're causing mine!"

After Liu Yu rushed over, he helped Liu Guihua up from the ground. Liu Guihua heard Old Mrs. Chen scolding her son, and without caring about anything else, she shouted back.

"If anyone should be struck by lightning, it should be you. You sold Chen Xu's only child, and now you want to sell me too. In the future, Chen Xu won't even have anyone to visit his grave. I think you're not letting us live. What kind of mother is you?"

These words left Old Mrs. Chen speechless. Unfortunately, she was the only one from the Chen family who came; the others felt ashamed and simply didn't come.

Now there was no one to help Old Lady Chen up, so she had to get up on her own and pointed at Liu Guihua and her son, cursing:

“I’m your mother-in-law. Is it wrong of me to marry you off? If it weren’t for this jinx you gave birth to, would my son have been born so young? It’s all your fault.”

"Pah! I was born Chen Xu's man, and I'll die his ghost. If you really sell me out, I'll hang myself at your doorstep tomorrow. I want to see who dares to be related to your Chen family in the future."

Liu Yu felt sad as he listened to Liu Guihua's words; he couldn't let his mother be married off.

Turning his head, he saw that Akahoshi was also walking over. He looked at Akahoshi pleadingly, hoping that Akahoshi would allow him to take his mother up the mountain with him.

Chi Xing nodded slightly to him, then strode confidently to Liu Yu's side and, without a word, tried to lead him away.

"Come on, come home with me." The man's voice was rough, and everyone around them subconsciously looked at them.

With one hand held by Chi Xing and the other tightly gripping Liu Guihua's hand, Liu Yu cried to Chi Xing, "Husband, please take my mother with you too, I beg you."

Her pitiful appearance was so heartbreaking that it was hard to bear looking at her, but Old Lady Chen wouldn't stand for it.

"No way, she's a member of the Chen family. What right do you, you little slut, have to take her away?"

However, ignoring what she said, Akahoshi simply nodded and said, "Okay, let's pack our bags and go together."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu quickly led Liu Guihua into the courtyard.

At this moment, Liu Yu's face no longer showed the pitiful expression from before. He calmly said:

"Mother, quickly pack your things and come up the mountain with us."

But Liu Guihua hesitated when she thought about her son's situation.

“Xiaoyu, you’re with the Red Hunters, how can I go and implicate you? This time, I’m afraid I’ll have to go see your father.”

Liu Guihua looked at Liu Yu and burst into tears. She hadn't followed Chen Xu back then because of Chen Xu's only bloodline, but now, how could she become a burden to Liu Yu?

“Mother, you are not a burden. You are my mother. Without you, I would not exist. You must come with us.”

Liu Yu then whispered, "Mother, my husband is very good to me."
