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

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Pitiful One Killed by His Uncle 42

In the spring of ’68, Yuan Chun gave birth to a big healthy son, named Liu Xiayi, with the nickname Da Bao.

Cheng Fang asked the village carpenter to make a small cart and a baby bed and placed them in the health clinic. Every day, Yuan Chun pushed her son to work.

In the winter of ’69, Yuan Chun gave birth to a second son, named Cheng Dongjin, with the nickname Er Bao.

Cheng Fang felt sorry for his wife’s hard work. He stopped taking long trips and applied to become a mechanic for the transport team, going to work there during the day and cycling back to Xiaxi Village after work to help his wife take care of the children and do housework.

In ’72, Yuan Chun gave birth to a baby girl, named Liu Shuangshuang, with the nickname Xiao Bao.

After having both a son and a daughter, Cheng Fang couldn’t bear the thought of his wife suffering the pain of childbirth again, so he secretly went to the hospital and got a vasectomy.

When Yuan Chun found out, she was both angry, moved, and heartbroken. She didn’t talk to him for a whole month.

However, after they made up, their relationship became even better than before.

In the winter of ’76, Yuan Chun saw Liu Tiezhu at the brigade headquarters.

Not even fifty years old, but his hair was completely white, looking as aged as if he were over seventy. If Liu Tiezhu hadn’t called out to her first, she wouldn’t have recognized him.

”Uncle, you’re back?”

Yuan Chun looked surprised. She thought Uncle’s family of three had gone to the Northwest, and surely they wouldn’t live to see the day they return. She didn’t expect Liu Tiezhu to have such a strong fate.

She looked around and asked, ”Uncle, what about Aunt and Yu Zhu? Did they come back?”

Liu Tiezhu’s face was sorrowful, his eyes red, ”Your aunt and Yu Zhu... they’re gone.”

”Gone?”

Yuan Chun pretended to stagger a bit, her eyes slightly moist, ”Uncle, was it really that hard over there? How did Aunt not make it? Cousin Yu Zhu was still so young... sigh...”

”How else would they be gone? Surely it’s retribution.” A village elder chimed in.

The brigade headquarters was crowded with onlookers, everyone chiming in, asking Liu Tiezhu, ”Tie Zhu, we haven’t seen you in ten years, why do you look even older than your uncle?”

”Tie Zhu, is farming in the Northwest harder than in our village?”

”Tie Zhu, why do your clothes still look like the ones from ten years ago?”

”Tie Zhu, from now on, live a good life in the village, don’t keep any harmful thoughts, or else you shouldn’t come back to the village.”

”Yeah, you ruined Zhao Zhiqing’s reputation. Luckily, Lan Zhiqing was nice and didn’t hold it against her for losing her reputation, still willing to marry her.”

”Tie Zhu, back then your house was given to Zhao Zhiqing as compensation, now Zhao Zhiqing and Lan Zhiqing’s family live there, where will you stay when you come back?”

”You don’t even have a house left, why did you come back?”

”You brought shame to our village, and you still have the nerve to come back, pfft...”

...

People in the village said all kinds of things.

Kind words and harsh words, Liu Tiezhu didn’t refute a single one, listening silently.

After venting a few sentences, seeing his pitiful state, the villagers didn’t continue to scold him.

After all, out of a family of four, only he was left alive, without children, without a family, he was indeed a pitiful person.

Sigh...

Truly, a moment of greed, one wrong step leading to a lifetime of mistakes.

Listening to the villagers criticizing Liu Tiezhu, Yuan Chun was secretly pleased. Seeing the villagers’ kindness, she felt it was boring when they stopped talking and said, ”Uncle, you chat with the elder, I’m going to work.”

With a turn, she went to the health clinic.

At noon, while she was eating at home, an aunt suddenly came and said, ”Your uncle, shameless as he is, actually brought up wanting to live at your place and have you support him in his old age, what right does he have?”
