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

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Eldest Sister-in-law Eloping with Another Man 23

The next day, the team leader called in some skilled bricklayers and carpenters from the village to build a house for Yuan Chun.

In those days, helping someone build a house came with no pay, but meals were provided.

Since Yuan Chun was staying at someone else’s house, cooking was inconvenient, so she paid each of them eighty cents a day, which was the highest rate at the time. The workers made a profit and worked even harder for her.

That day, while Yuan Chun was helping to move bricks, Liu Baozhu and Liu Fuchai suddenly rushed over and charged at her, ”You cheap woman, did you withdraw our school fees? You took away our tuition and food rations, give them back...”

Bang bang...

Yuan Chun kicked each of them to the ground.

She sneered, ”Your tuition? Your food? You come back home and act like the lords of the manor, you don’t even help when the oil tank comes, where did you get tuition and food?”

”I only took what I earned myself and my own food, I didn’t take a single thread or needle from the Liu Family. If you want tuition and food, don’t ask me for it.”

Yuan Chun eyed Liu Baozhu and Liu Fuchai, who hadn’t been seen for a month and now looked like beggars, clicking with her tongue, ”When I was at the Liu Family, I worked like a horse, painstakingly raising you like a young master and young lady, without any patches on your clothes. Look at you now, my goodness, without me, you’re almost like beggars.”

”But don’t worry, your brother will soon return, and he’ll bring back a wealthy sister-in-law for you.”

”Oh, you didn’t know? Before your eldest brother even divorced me, he remarried a city girl, she’s a nurse, has a job, has money, is beautiful, and her father is a high-ranking officer in the army. Oh, by the way, your brother has resigned from the army, and he’ll be back in no time. Your brother will work in the fields earning labor points to support your schooling, and you can continue being the young masters and young ladies.”

”Moreover, you now have a wealthy sister-in-law, so don’t worry about affording school fees.”

Originally planning to sit on the ground and cry, Liu Baozhu’s eyes lit up, her face full of hope, ”Qin Yuanchun, are you telling the truth? My big brother really married a rich city wife?”

”Would I lie to you about something like that?”

Yuan Chun rolled her eyes at her, ”Otherwise, how do you think I got the team leader to give me and your brother a divorce certificate as soon as I returned to the village? It’s just because your brother abandoned his wife and remarried, having a legally recognized wife, that I had no choice but to divorce him.”

”Then... then is the money for the house he gave you?” Liu Fuchai’s eyes darted over the brand new bricks and tiles, clearly unsettled.

Yuan Chun snorted, ”Liu Fuchai, did you really think I provided for you siblings for three years for free? Your brother abandoned me, isn’t it only right and proper for me to get back the labor points and food that I earned in those three years?”

”Yuan Chun, you were right to take it back. Someone as ungrateful as Liu Fusheng, you shouldn’t have any dealings with him in the future.”

”Exactly, from the start, Liu Fusheng was just using you. Otherwise, why would he quietly go and marry another woman outside? He wanted you to stay in the countryside supporting his younger siblings while he enjoyed life in the army with his new wife.”

”Yuan Chun, you encountered a cunning wolf.”

”From now on, don’t bother with the Liu Family. You’re divorced from Liu Fusheng, and have nothing to do with the Liu Family. If they dare to bully you again, we won’t stand by.”

The bricklayers and carpenters, having benefited from her, all spoke up to support Yuan Chun.
