Quick Transmigration: Refusing to Be a Victim's Child

He Xinlian, whom everyone was thinking about, was currently running towards the county town.

As the saying goes, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."

It's only been 73 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are still four years before the country allows individual businesses to operate.

Selling things on the black market now is called speculation and profiteering, and if you get caught, you'll be sentenced to prison.

He Xinlian insisted on marrying Shao Jianjun because she thought he would be successful and bring her a good life. Now she has gained nothing, and she is unwilling to live with the title of a prisoner's wife.

"That bastard, he's really ruined my life. I was perfectly fine in my past life, how did I end up being caught like this?"

He Xinlian ran and cursed, her heart filled with regret:

'If I'd known this man was unreliable, I should have just married Shao Linshen in the first place. At least then things would have been stable. I could have divorced him once he became successful, and then they could have remarried.'

Unfortunately, it's too late for her to regret it now. She should think about what to do next.

He Xinlian meticulously planned her next steps, preparing to file for divorce at the Civil Affairs Bureau, hoping that those people would take pity on the husband's crime and allow her, an innocent woman implicated in the affair, to successfully get a divorce...

Shao Linshen didn't know whether He Xinlian's plan would succeed.

But he certainly won't help Shao Jianjun get away with it right now.

"Grandpa, it's no use begging me. I just got a job by sheer luck, thanks to a benefactor. What ability do I have to help my older cousin?"

Shao Linshen darted behind Old Master Shao and, before he could even bend down and kneel, reached under his armpits and lifted him up, giving him no chance to make a move.

Seeing her son's actions, Shao's mother's eyes lit up. She quickly followed suit and helped the old lady up before she could kneel down to the younger generation, so that the old lady couldn't even touch the ground with her toes.

There was nothing they could do; Old Mrs. Shao was so petite that when she pulled against Mrs. Shao, who had a naturally large frame, she was inevitably lifted into the air.

The elderly couple nearly choked on their breath after the mother and son's antics.

Unable to break free or out-argue Shao Linshen, the couple could only stare intently at Shao's father and begin to appeal to his emotions:

"Third brother, you watched Jianjun grow up. Even if your eldest brother and sister-in-law are unethical and offended you, that child is innocent."

Since Lin Shen knows some influential people in the county, please do him a favor and have him plead with them to release Jianjun.

Hearing this, Shao's father almost laughed in anger. He had originally felt a pang of sadness seeing his elderly parents still running around for their children and grandchildren, but now he felt nothing at all.

"Dad, I'm your biological son, not some random kid you picked up from somewhere. Tell me, why do you like to trick me like this?"

"Jianjun is my nephew, that's true, but Linshen is my own son. You just openly tell him to beg people, have you even considered why they should listen to us and agree to this? What if they get angry and take Linshen back from his job? Are you going to make him a bachelor for life and cut off our third branch of the family line?"

Shao's father launched a barrage of attacks and counterattacks, leaving Old Master Shao speechless.

Grandma Shao was about to throw a tantrum when, unexpectedly, Mr. Shao took a rope from inside the house, hung it above the door, and used it to threaten himself by putting it around his neck.

He said that if the elderly couple continued to make trouble, they were deliberately trying to drive him to his death, so he might as well hang himself.

As he was talking, the grown man suddenly burst into tears and howls, attracting the attention of the surrounding neighbors who came out to watch.

Grandma Shao was so angry she was almost dead. She pointed at Shao's father but couldn't say a word for a long time.

She thought to herself, 'These are all my specialties, how come this brat has already started learning them before she's even begun?'

After all that commotion, the elderly couple couldn't continue the argument. They were leaving the third house with dark faces when they bumped into Uncle Shao and his group.

Coincidentally, Uncle Shao and his family also saw Grandpa Shao and his companion, and as if they had seen saviors, they started shouting from afar:

"Father, something terrible has happened! That woman He Xinlian has run away!"

"What?" Grandpa Shao and Grandma Shao were taken aback and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's true." Uncle Shao, thinking the two didn't believe him, quickly said:

“We’ve searched the whole village, but we can’t find that woman anywhere. That bitch must have known Jianjun was arrested and couldn’t stand the loneliness, so she ran away.”

With such a huge scandal in the family, Old Master Shao really couldn't take it anymore. His vision went black, and he almost fainted.

Fortunately, Shao Linshen was there to support him, preventing the old man from getting seriously injured.

After all, he was a well-known "philanthropist," how could he let his older cousin lose his wife?

At that moment, Shao Linshen pinched the old man's philtrum hard with his fingernail, almost tearing the flesh off. The pain made the old man jump three feet high, and he was able to shout loudly with great energy.

Before the other person could lose their temper, Shao Linshen quickly spoke up:

"Grandpa, and Uncle and Aunt, are you out of your minds? In this day and age, where can she go without a letter of introduction?"

"But I think this woman might be trying to take this opportunity to go to the county to get a divorce from my brother, right? You all know she's a fickle woman. My cousin is about to be locked up, so she's bound to look for someone else."

After saying that, Shao Linshen glanced around at them and "kindly" reminded them:

"Uncle, I think you should hurry up and stop him, otherwise, with my cousin's experience of being in prison, what girl will be willing to marry him in the future?"

Since my cousin is definitely going to jail, we have to keep a close eye on that woman. We can't lose both, can we?

At this point, Shao Linshen generously pulled out his bicycle from the yard, patted the seat, and said:

“It just so happens that I borrowed a colleague’s car on my way back. Who’s going to get in? I’ll take you to the county town.”

These two wheels are better than running fast, so the eldest family didn't dawdle any longer and quickly pushed Uncle Shao and his wife out first, letting one of them sit on the front beam and the other on the back frame.

Under the eager gazes of the crowd, Shao Linshen pushed off with his foot and rode several meters away in a flash.

Shaolin Shen certainly didn't want to miss the chance to witness a once-loving couple turn against each other.

Meanwhile, Grandpa Shao, who had been thinking of going to the county to stop He Xinlian from getting a divorce, was now extremely anxious because he had just lost to Uncle Shao. He hurriedly ran to Village Chief Li's house on his two old legs.

Unfortunately, Village Chief Li still harbors a grudge about the last time Shao Jianjun came to borrow the bicycle and then just left it on the roadside, so he's unwilling to lend it to the old man again.

After much haggling, the price was raised from five cents to two mao per rental before Village Chief Li finally relented.

By the time Shao's father led the elderly couple onto the road, the three people ahead had long since disappeared.

Fortunately, the group rushed and finally caught up with He Xinlian at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She was holding the divorce agreement and was about to go to the detention center.
