Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales-Chapter 26: Wretched Woman

Er Lai’s mother shouted, "He Zhqing, the Chen Family doesn’t want you, but my son does. My son doesn’t mind that you’re a ruined woman, and I don’t need you to bring a dowry. Just marry my son."

"No, I won’t marry Er Laizi. I’d rather die than marry him, so you can give up on that." He Hongyu glared at her resentfully. In her past life, she was beaten to death by Er Laizi, largely due to this old hag’s instigation. She absolutely despised that vile woman now.

In this life, she wouldn’t repeat the same mistake.

She wanted to marry Chen Shengjun and become a wealthy wife.

Although Granny Chen wasn’t a good mother-in-law either, in her previous life, after Feng Yuanchun married into the Chen Family, she also endured a lot from Granny Chen’s harsh treatment. But that was because Feng Yuanchun lost her honor before marriage and ruined her reputation, which was why Granny Chen looked down upon her.

But Chen Shengjun was a good husband; he never abused his wife and even helped with the housework. When Granny Chen bullied Feng Yuanchun, Chen Shengjun would help her.

Therefore, she firmly believed that in this life, choosing Chen Shengjun as her husband would not be a mistake.

Er Laizi felt humiliated being rejected by a so-called ruined woman, so he sneered and said, "Who knows how many men have used you, a ruined woman. I don’t even want you."

"Er Laizi, you’re talking nonsense." Chen Shengjun was furious, "Er Laizi, you’re slandering my wife. Do you think I’m easy to bully? How about I go to the commune and report you? You barged into my house and saw me with my wife; doesn’t that count as harassment?"

"Chen Shengjun, you’re asking for it." Er Laizi charged forward and punched Chen Shengjun, dislocating his jaw. "You damn fool, want to report me? Fine, let’s go to the commune right now and tell the leaders that I heard a woman screaming for help in your house, which is why I barged in. You two are shameless, and yet I, as a man of justice, should be afraid of nothing."

Chen Shengjun was genuinely afraid of going to the commune.

After all, he and He Hongyu had gotten into bed before marriage, which was considered a scandal.

If things got out of hand, both he and He Hongyu would undoubtedly suffer, and they might even be sent for labor reform.

Chen Shengjun immediately backed down.

Er Laizi scoffed disdainfully, "Coward, still dare to threaten me? Annoy me, and I’ll send you to eat lead."

"Alright, Er Laizi, say no more." The village chief, fearing that this would escalate to the commune, hastily stopped him.

The village chief turned to Granny Chen and sternly said, "Sheng Jin Niang, since your son Chen Shengjun slept with He Zhqing, she is now your family’s daughter-in-law. Let them get a marriage certificate tomorrow. Don’t think about asking for a dowry, your family doesn’t even pay the bride price, so where’s the face to ask for a dowry?"

Granny Chen was indignant, "Village chief, it wasn’t my Sheng Jun who initiated it. It was her who seduced him, came to my house, and begged my son to sleep with her. I haven’t gone to the commune to accuse her of being a seductress yet, and I..."

"Then go accuse her. I’m done with this matter."

The village chief, angry, waved his hand and left.

Granny Chen’s stubbornness and unforgiving nature were well-known in the village.

The village chief didn’t want to keep arguing with her.

He didn’t believe Granny Chen would really dare to go to the commune and accuse He Zhqing, after all, He Zhqing was a woman. If this went to the commune, He Zhqing could turn the tables on the Chen Family, claiming Chen Shengjun assaulted her.

Moreover, there was Er Laizi as a witness.

Granny Chen wouldn’t be foolish enough to cause trouble for her own family.

The village chief left, but Granny Chen’s demand for He Hongyu’s dowry remained. She forced He Hongyu to write home to ask for a dowry.

Otherwise, she would resolutely refuse to let her son marry He Hongyu.
