Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

Chapter 40 The Ex-Husband in the Historical Fiction 6

"grandfather!"

Shao Jianjun stopped kneeling and quickly stood up to help the old man up. He looked at Shao Linshen and said with deep resentment:

"Look what you've done! Are you happy now?"

"Hey, what are you saying, brother?"

Shao Linshen said with an innocent look:

“If my sister-in-law hadn’t done something wrong today, would we have gotten into a fight? Instead of blaming the real culprit, you’ve come to criticize me, an honest man. It’s outrageous!”

"Shao Linshen, you shameless bastard! If it weren't for your terrible idea, would everyone have started fighting? You call yourself an honest person? Bah! I think you're so despicable you're practically smoking."

He Xinlian's face was slightly swollen, and her eyes were filled with hatred for him.

Shao Linshen didn't care at all. Let him look a few more times if he likes it; it's not like he'll lose a piece of his flesh.

If he were to let this adulterous couple off so easily, he'd be out of his mind.

It's important to know that in the timeline altered by He Xinlian, the third branch of the family was not only extorted for fifty yuan, but also forced the original owner, a 19-year-old young man, to marry Zhao, a widow who was older than his mother.

The original owner initially disagreed, but Widow Zhao cried and threatened to report him for rape in the county. Left with no other choice, the original owner had to reluctantly accept this old woman.

As a result, from then on, the three families not only had to serve Zhao the widow like royalty, but even her 20-year-old son would come over every few days to beg for money.

The thought of this made Shao Lin feel utterly disgusted.

Seeing that the situation was turning against them, even though Zhao Fang was unwilling, she had no choice but to quickly express her willingness to hand over the remaining money.

That troublemaker surnamed He is at least young and beautiful, while this widow Zhao is older than her. If her eldest son were to marry her, their family would truly lose all face.

But the eldest son's family is truly broke right now.

So, Uncle Shao wanted to ask Village Chief Li to allocate some funds from the team so that his family could use their work points to offset the cost at the end of the year.

But as soon as he started talking, the other two families became unhappy.

Now that Grandpa Shao is in charge, everyone eats and lives together, and the work points earned are settled in a unified manner and handed over to Grandpa and Grandma for safekeeping. These are all public property.

Nobody objects to the eldest son's family using their own savings to solve the problem. But when everyone's interests are involved, wouldn't that cause a huge uproar?

"Brother, you make it sound so easy. Your whole family used your work points to pay off debts. What will you eat and use in the future? Do you expect my second brother and I, two large families, to be your slaves?"

Shao's father continued to roll up his sleeves and raise his leg, looking like he was about to fight Shao's uncle to the death. He was so excited that he spit on the other man's face, which frightened Hongxia and her brother into retreating.

Uncle Shao was not to be outdone, and he and Uncle Shao started making a ruckus side by side.

His family is even larger. He had four daughters in a row before finally having a son, whom he cherishes dearly. How could he possibly let his son go hungry and cold because of his elder brother's family?

"Brother, don't blame your brother for being heartless. You're just too selfish. Since it was Jianjun and his wife who caused this trouble, why don't you let them figure out a solution themselves? They're all grown up, and they still only know to run to their parents when something happens."

Second Aunt also found it extremely distasteful. She stood to the side with her youngest son in her arms and whispered:

"Didn't Jianjun's wife say that her family is rich and capable? Let them borrow money from the villagers first, and then write a letter to her parents."

Alright, with that, the topic has shifted back to He Xinlian.

He Xinlian was speechless, unable to utter a word.

If her heartless parents really cared about her, they wouldn't have gone through two lifetimes without sending her a single letter or a single gift for her wedding.

But she couldn't tell.

He usually relies on his parents' names as a cover to improve his life by reselling things in his space. If he loses this excuse, he may not be able to take out the things in his space often in the future.

Faced with the relentless pressure from everyone, and with her husband offering no defense whatsoever, He Xinlian's love for this man diminished considerably.

Little did they know that the other person was feeling the same way.

In Shao Jianjun's view, all the trouble today was caused by this woman. Now that things have gone wrong, she is still clinging to the money and tickets, causing his parents to be beaten and scolded. Now she is being treated like a monkey by the villagers.

Shao Linshen saw the couple's expressions clearly, but still felt it wasn't enough.

Compared to the experiences of his counterparts in this world, this is nothing.

Seeing that she was in a difficult situation, He Xinlian finally gritted her teeth and agreed to borrow money from the villagers first, and then get money from her family to pay it back.

In reality, she had made up her mind not to hand over the temporary work to her husband anymore, but to take over herself. As for the money... she would just use her space to take some grain from the grain station and resell it.

As long as it doesn't happen under her watchful eye or during her working hours, no one can find out that she did it.

"Shao Jianjun, you forced me into this. You promised to love and protect me for life, but you've gone back on your word. You'll never know what you've lost."

With red eyes, He Xinlian stared at her husband, feeling as if the sadness in her heart was about to overflow like a river.

"Ugh, what a pretentious bitch," Pangu Banner interjected in his mind, making a bet with Shao Linshen:

"Brother Shen, look how funny this woman's expression is. She did something wrong but feels innocent and blames others instead."

"How about we make a bet? Guess how much money the eldest son's family can borrow later?"

Before Shao Linshen could answer, this guy started talking to himself: "I'll go first. I bet they won't be able to borrow a single penny. The wager is that whoever loses gives the other a wisp of merit."

It had long coveted the large cloud of merit within the host's sea of ​​consciousness, but unfortunately it wasn't its own, so it could only look but not consume.

"Suck it~"

The Pangu Banner was affixed to the cloud of merit, and it smelled fragrant just from its aroma.

Upon hearing this, Shao Linshen couldn't help but roll his eyes. How could he not know what this guy was up to?

"No gambling."

The Shao family has made a huge fool of themselves today, especially He Xinlian, the instigator. Everyone knows what disgusting things she has done. Who would dare to lend money to such a viper who even harms her own husband?

This is also true.

Even after Uncle Shao pleaded until he was hoarse, practically swearing to the heavens, not a single villager was willing to lend them money.

Even some of the relatives and friends at home, as soon as they see Uncle Shao and his family, they stay far away. Even if they stay at home, they close the door and pretend they are not home.

The eldest son of the Shao family wandered around the village for a long time. As time passed, Village Chief Li and Widow Zhao grew impatient. Uncle Shao could only look at Old Master Shao with a mournful face and pleading eyes.

"Dad, why don't you lend us some money first? You know how well-off Jianjun's wife's family is. They've always given their daughter plenty of food and drink. If she just asks, her in-laws will definitely send the money."

Old Master Shao's eyelids twitched slightly, and he was about to speak when he was interrupted by his mother:

"No way, it's easy to borrow money but hard to get it back. Whose money grows on trees?"

“Jianjun’s wife’s parents love their daughter, but I’ve never seen a family willing to spend such a large sum of money to pay off their daughter’s debts. Brother, don’t just say nice things. Put yourself in their shoes. Would you do this for Hongxia?”
