Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

The days that followed unfolded exactly as Xia Mingwei and Xiao Ba had predicted.

She did nothing but enjoy life. While taking good care of Li Jing, she also took the opportunity to publicize Li Shi's act of voluntarily taking the place of the Niu family father and son in performing corvée labor out of great love.

Now, not only the villagers knew about this, but even people in the neighboring town knew about Li Shi.

Some people say he's foolish, that he's not quite right in the head. Others think he's a person of good character, a selfless and loving individual.

But regardless of their thoughts, they all came to the same conclusion: when faced with difficulties, coming to Li Shi is the right thing to do!

To ensure the authenticity of the information, some people even went to Xia Mingwei to obtain evidence.

"Are the rumors true? Is he really willing to go to such lengths to do good deeds?"

This is the question Xia Mingwei has heard the most in the past few months, but she always patiently explains it to the person who asks it.

"Host, what are you trying to do?"

Xiao Ba was somewhat puzzled by Xia Mingwei's actions.

"By doing this and promoting him, aren't you just making Li Shi's reputation better and better?"

Xia Mingwei was not annoyed by Xiao Ba's question; instead, she patiently explained to it why she did what she did.

"Li Shi is currently performing corvée labor, but corvée labor will eventually end. What I'm doing now is to flatter him!"

"We'll solidify his good reputation first, so when others ask him for help in the future, he probably won't have the nerve to refuse! Then we can just stand by and watch, and he'll be dragged down by his reputation as a 'good person'!"

"You must know that people's hearts are unpredictable and their desires are insatiable! They won't be satisfied with the benefits Li Shi offers forever! Once Li Shi refuses them, believe me, their spittle will be enough to drown him!"

After listening, Xiao Ba suddenly understood. It turned out that its host planned to work from the hearts of the people to move Li Shi from the position of a false saint to the position of a true saint.

Whether he can do it or not is none of their business!

The days flew by as Xia Mingwei and Xiao Ba waited.

In contrast to Xia Mingwei, Li Shi faced a different situation during his military service.

He had never imagined that the days could last so long.

There are endless things to do every day, and we still can't get enough to eat or wear.

If you slow down, the overseer's whip will fall on you without mercy. In their eyes, your life is worthless. Every task assigned from above must be completed.

Such intense labor was really taking its toll on him. Several times, he felt like he was going to die there, but he always managed to survive.

Li Shi desperately wished that when he opened his eyes, he would be in his familiar and warm little home. But contrary to his dreams, every time he woke up, there was only a cold cornbread and a terribly thin quilt.

Besides, because he has now become mute, he has also suffered a lot of bullying. Although everyone is here for corvée labor because they can't afford it, there are still frequent instances of people banding together to exclude others.

Li Shi is disabled and cannot speak, making him the lowest of the low among these people. It's common for him to have his food and blankets taken from him, and for him to be assigned the dirtiest and most tiring jobs.

He considered rebelling, but he was always outnumbered. He tried to tell his superiors, but they ignored him.

From the person in charge's perspective, as long as it doesn't delay his construction schedule or cause any deaths, he can do whatever he wants!

Seeing that the manager ignored them, these people bullied him even more! If Li Shi were to go and complain to the manager, he would surely face even harsher retaliation afterward!

As a result, Li Shi no longer had the idea of ​​complaining; he just wanted these hellish days to pass quickly.

In his anticipation and the agony of living a life worse than death, the day of his departure finally arrived.

The moment Li Shi saw smoke rising from the village chimneys, tears welled up in his eyes. He had finally returned.

During this time, he thought about ending his life countless times, but his instinctive will to survive made him give up on that idea.

He didn't want to die far from home, didn't want to be carelessly dumped in a mass grave, without even a proper burial. He also didn't want Xia Mingwei, the culprit who had made him this way, to have an easy time.

The reason he dragged his frail body home, forcing himself to stay, was to prove to Xia Mingwei that he would not be defeated! Moreover, he wanted this monster to pay the price for what she had done.

But what he didn't expect was that he would be the center of attention from everyone as soon as he entered the village.

If it were just a few people looking at him, Li Shi could attribute it to the fact that he hadn't seen him for a long time. But the fact that almost everyone was looking at him like that is something worth exploring further!

Looking at the villagers' burning gazes, Li Shi couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Did something untoward happen in his family while he was away performing corvée labor?

Or perhaps the monster's true identity has been discovered?

The villagers have always kept their distance from unclean things! If Xia Mingwei, this demon, were to have her true identity discovered, he was certain her fate would be dire!

Thinking of this, Li Shi felt his heart burning with excitement!

He couldn't wait to get home and see what became of that monster!

At this moment, Xia Mingwei was surrounded by a number of women. The women, who had previously turned hostile, now seemed to be sitting together chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.

When Li Shi pushed open his front door, this was the scene he saw.

He was even more surprised. Could someone please tell him what was going on?

Could it be that this world has finally gone mad?

When the people inside saw Li Shi, they all stood up and came over.

The group surrounded him, looking him up and down. Several older women even took his hands affectionately, looking at him with loving expressions.

This was a treatment Li Shi had never received before, despite all the "good deeds" he had done! For a moment, he forgot the purpose of his return home and was completely immersed in the praise around him.

"Stone, your wife told me that you volunteered to take the place of the Niu family father and son for this corvée labor?"

Upon hearing these words, Li Shi felt as if he had just woken up from a dream.

He wanted to deny this behavior and show everyone that it was Xia Mingwei who had interfered, causing him to suffer so much.

But as he listened to the endless praise from the crowd, he swallowed his words back down.

Xia Mingwei naturally didn't miss Li Shi's every move, and seeing this scene, she smiled with satisfaction.
