Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales
Chapter 448: Remarried Widow 41
"Mom, someone came to pay respects at Dad’s grave. Look, Dad’s grave is so clean, the grass has been pulled out, and there’s a pile of burnt paper money ashes over here." Da Qiang suddenly noticed the traces of ashes from burnt paper money in front of his dad’s grave.
There were also traces of pulled grass.
Yuan Chun also noticed that someone had come to burn paper for Chen Dagang earlier this year.
"Perhaps it’s one of your dad’s relatives who came to visit him," Yuan Chun said. "Let’s use the remaining half bag of paper money to burn for your grandparents."
"Yes, Mom."
The children got up, knelt again in front of the two nearby graves, and reignited the paper money.
The original host’s parents were orphans with no relatives, but the Chen Family still had quite a few relatives around.
The Chen Family had five brothers, with Chen Dagang being the third. Because the family was poor, none of the brothers could get a wife, which is why Chen Dagang’s parents allowed him to marry into the Mei Family.
The original host’s father was a coal miner and had only the original host as his only daughter. The family was well-off, so the original host’s father gave the Chen Family a large bride price but required the Chen Family to sign a disownment agreement.
After marrying into the Mei Family, Chen Dagang followed the disownment agreement and never had any contact with the Chen Family.
In the third year after Chen Dagang married into the Mei Family, the original host’s father died of a lung disease, and the original host’s mother, who had been in poor health due to a difficult childbirth when having the original host, couldn’t handle the shock and died as well.
After taking care of the old couple’s funeral, Chen Dagang took over the original host’s father’s job.
The original host and Chen Dagang were married for over ten years and had never seen the Chen Family. The Chen Family also dutifully adhered to the disownment document and never sought out Chen Dagang or the original host.
However, the Chen Family and the Mei Family were only two or three villages apart, so the Chen Family must have heard about Chen Dagang’s death long ago.
Although Yuan Chun guessed that the Chen Family had come to pay respects to Chen Dagang, she never thought of taking the children to the Chen Family to acknowledge relatives.
Because, in the previous life, after the original host married into the Cui Family, the Mei Family only left Da Qiang and Erqiang to live, and the Chen Family never came to recognize Da Qiang and Erqiang.
Since they didn’t acknowledge relatives here, Yuan Chun wouldn’t foolishly bring a bunch of elders to press on the children’s heads.
Because the bedding and clothes from the village were taken to the county, after burning the paper money, Yuan Chun hurriedly took the four children and rushed back to the county without staying in the village.
But as soon as Yuan Chun arrived at the house in the county, 007 told her, "Host, soon after you left Red Star Village, the Chen Family went there."
Yuan Chun was puzzled, "In the previous life, the Chen Family never acknowledged us. Why are they looking for us in this life?"
"Well, isn’t it because you’ve opened a store and made money, and now people are envious."
"Host, you wouldn’t know, the captain’s two sons are buying eggs, chickens, ducks, fish, and geese from everywhere to sell to your store. Now the news of you making a lot of money from your store has spread to all the villages within a hundred miles."
"Oh, yes, Host, ever since you started making money from the store, life for Second Cui in the Cui Family has gotten even harder. Granny Cui thinks it’s all because Second Cui is useless and didn’t manage to marry you. If he had, the money you’re earning would all be the Cui Family’s."
"Hahaha, what are they dreaming about."
"Indeed, Host, you wouldn’t believe how disgusting the Cui family is. They even wanted to plot to marry you off to Second Cui. It was Cui Xiaohong who secretly went to Shunfeng Team to report, and the captain specially came to the Cui Family to warn them, which made them give up on plotting against you."
Yuan Chun thought of Cui Xiaohong whom she had seen at the market months ago. At that time, the little girl was glaring at her with resentment. How had she changed so much in just a few months?
