Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 79: Chapter 79: The Poor Child Killed by His Uncle 35

Cheng Ping made a ridiculous demand, asking Cheng Fang for two hundred yuan.

The furious old village chief and brigade leader gave him a beating and chased him out of Xiaxi Village, never allowing him to set foot in Xiaxi Village again.

Cheng Ping didn’t dare to come to Xiaxi Village, so he went to the transport team to cause trouble for Cheng Fang.

People in the transport team all knew that Cheng Ping abandoned his five-year-old son to become a live-in son-in-law and stepfather elsewhere. Now he was coming to demand money from his biological son, which made people look down on him.

Later, when he caused a big commotion, and wouldn’t listen to the transport team’s leader’s advice, they had no choice but to transfer Cheng Fang to be a long-distance driver.

When Cheng Fang wasn’t at the transport team, Cheng Ping went several times and didn’t see him, so he had to give up.

However, these past two years, when Cheng Ping had free time from farming, he would go to the transport team and wait around.

Cheng Fang was extremely annoyed with him but couldn’t do anything about it.

Cheng Fang looked aggrievedly at his wife, ”If my dad can become a live-in son-in-law, then so can I. Yuan Chun, you don’t want to marry me, do you?”

”Of course I do.” Yuan Chun couldn’t help but laugh, teasing, ”Do I need to prepare a bride price for you?”

Cheng Fang chuckled foolishly, ”You can give me a bride price of one hundred and twenty yuan. I’ve heard that the more you give for a bride price, the higher my status is in your heart. Of course, I’ll also prepare more dowry.”

Yuan Chun rolled her eyes at him.

However, when Grandma the Village Chief came to propose the marriage, Yuan Chun also invited Second Grandma, Grandpa, and Grandma to let the elders handle her wedding matters.

She secretly gave Second Grandma one hundred and sixty-six yuan and a watch, which was her bride price for Cheng Fang and the betrothal gift.

Since the two publicly talked about dating, Second Grandma had been hoping they could get married early, so that the two orphans could be together and become a family.

Now, the marriage proposal and gift-giving were just formalities.

And the two’s wedding was set for August 12.

After the wedding date was set, Cheng Fang went on a trip again, and Yuan Chun was at home preparing for the wedding.

In fact, she had everything in her space, but to make it look good, she still went to the county town every few days and brought back a lot of things.

Bright red lacquered thermos bottle, enamel mugs with red peonies, bright red pillowcases...

That day, Yuan Chun rode her bicycle back from the county town. On the way, 007 suddenly warned her, ”Host, Cheng Ping is hiding in the reed marsh up ahead, planning to intercept you. Be careful.”

As expected, when the bicycle reached the reed marsh, a man suddenly jumped out to stop her. Yuan Chun, who was mentally prepared, quickly braked, avoiding crashing into him.

Cheng Ping looked at the fair-skinned, pretty young girl with a seemingly honest smile but spoke words that were greedy and selfish, ”Yuan Chun, I heard that brat Cheng Fang wants to move into your family as a live-in son-in-law. I have no objections to that, but the bride price you’re giving the Cheng family should be handed to me. I’m Cheng Fang’s dad; his marriage is my decision.”

Yuan Chun wasn’t one to tolerate him, so she retorted immediately, ”Uncle Cheng, you’ve already become a live-in son-in-law and are no longer part of the Cheng family. How can you have the nerve to meddle in Cheng Fang’s marriage?”

”Did you raise Cheng Fang?”

”You want to control Cheng Fang, but when you abandoned him at five, nearly unable to survive, why didn’t you care for him then?”

”During the drought that year, you took all of Cheng Fang’s food. When he had nothing to eat and was about to starve to death, where were you? Why didn’t you care for him then?”

”Oh, now that Cheng Fang has made something of himself and can make money, you come out to interfere?”

”Tell me, how can your face be so thick?”

”When you should have been responsible, you weren’t. Now that it’s none of your business, you come out acting like a father. I’ve never seen such a shameless dad as you.”
