Quick Wear: This Cannon Fodder is Delicate and Expensive

Chapter 338: The story of the sickly villain being promoted to a legitimate person (10)

The Shen family’s dilapidated straw house seemed like it could be blown away by a strong wind.

Shen Jingnian held his breath, walked to the door tremblingly, stood on tiptoe, put his ear to the door, and listened carefully to the movement inside.

He breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the terrible person was not at home.

Just as he was about to push the door open, it suddenly opened from the inside and a pair of hands pulled him in roughly.

Because of the strong inertia and force, he was thrown directly to the ground.

“Ah… um…” His head hit the ground and he felt dizzy.

Smelling the foul odor of cigarettes and alcohol, he subconsciously covered his head, trying his best to protect himself from the beating.

But after waiting for a long time, the fist did not fall.

He was a little confused and raised his head slowly: "Dad...what are you..."

The words got stuck in his throat when he saw the tenderness on Shen Yi's face.

A shrewd look flashed across Shen Yi's cloudy eyes, and he smiled and said, "Silly child, why are you still in a daze? Have you missed your father after not seeing him for a few days?"

Shen Jingnian subconsciously felt that Shen Yi was abnormal. His sudden tenderness made him dazed for a moment, and then he became alert.

Shen Jingnian: “…”

Seeing that the other person was silent and did not answer, Shen Yi did not get angry. Instead, he took Shen Jingnian's hand and led him to the dining table.

When Shen Yi saw the table full of delicious food, he felt more and more uneasy. He took a few steps back, just wanting to admit his mistake quickly to avoid a more vicious beating: "Dad... I was wrong. I shouldn't have sneaked out."

"Tsk, it's not wrong at all, why are you standing there? Kid, daddy won a lot of money these days, so I made some delicious food for you to nourish your body. Why, aren't you hungry?" Shen Yi's mouth froze, and for the first time ever, he carried Shen Jingnian to the stool and wiped his hands carefully, like a kind father.

Shen Jingnian lowered his head, thinking and judging in his mind, and just nodded in response: "Well, okay."

Shen Yi was very considerate and careful at the dinner table. He removed all the bones from the fish and put it in Shen Jingnian's bowl. His tone was full of concern: "Did you get bullied during the past few days when dad was not at home? Tsk tsk, the wound on your hand is scarred. Eat quickly. I'll apply medicine and bandage it for you after you finish eating."

"Very...very good." Shen Jingnian said in a low voice. He was really hungry and ate the delicious food on the table with relish.

The corners of Shen Yi's mouth turned up, and it was unclear what he was thinking. He just brought a bowl of fish soup to Shen Jingnian and patted him on the back gently: "Don't worry, this table is all yours, eat slowly."

For a moment, Shen Jingnian admitted that he was really confused, and even... a little expectant.

Shen Yi had never been so gentle and kind before. He was not used to it, but he still had a faint expectation in his heart.

Will...their relationship get better? Will...he won't be beaten anymore?

Children who have never eaten candy will be happy as long as they smell the sweet smell.

"Dad, are you going to the card room today?" Shen Jingnian came to his senses after eating and drinking his fill and asked in a low voice.

Shen Yi shook his head and picked up the medicine box: "No. Come here, I'll give you medicine."

Shen Jingnian nodded and walked over obediently.

Shen Yi did not behave abnormally, but really applied the medicine to him: "Dad will be at home these days to accompany you and make delicious food for you."

Shen Jingnian's eyes flickered slightly, and he just nodded obediently.

It was late at night and the sound of crows crowing outside the door was creepy.

For three consecutive days, Shen Yi stayed at home with him, patiently applying medicine to him every day and cooking many things for him that he had never eaten before.

That night, Shen Jingnian was called to the dining table to eat as usual. Shen Yi stared at him, not knowing what was going on.

"Come, let me see if your wounds have healed."

Shen Yi turned Shen Jingnian around, and looked at the child in front of him with a rosy face and almost healed wounds, and smiled with satisfaction.

After spending the past few days with him, Shen Jingnian gradually let down his guard and felt that Shen Yi really wanted to take good care of his growth.

"Dad, it's okay. All the injuries are healed." Shen Jingnian smiled lightly, revealing two cute little fangs.

Shen Yi's eyes were dark and unclear, and he just told him to eat quickly.

Today's meal was a little different. He felt that the soup tasted a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.

Confused, Shen Jingnian felt the world spinning around him, and Shen Yi became blurry.

"Dad...I'm so sleepy, um."

Before he could finish his words, he was hit hard on the back of his neck and Shen Jingnian fainted completely.

The moment before he closed his eyes, he seemed to understand something and no longer had any expectations.

Fortunately, when he drank the soup, he wanted to leave some for Shen Yi, so he drank a little less...

Ah…

……

Shi Qi's house was burned down, and she stayed at Aunt Chen's house for a few days. Aunt Chen responded to her every request and treated her like her own daughter, but Shi Qi felt embarrassed.

These days she contacts factories during the day and goes to wholesale building materials in the afternoon.

Building a house...is not a difficult task for her.

But if it weren't for those people, she could save a lot of time to do other things.

For some people who are born bad, compromise and tolerance will not be met with sympathy or mercy.

Just because she escaped this time doesn't mean they will let her go.

She went to the police, but the result was as she expected. There was no direct evidence, the men denied it, and she was not injured, so the police sent her away.

But precisely because there is no evidence, she...plans to do something different to those people.

Having just delivered an order to the factory today and made a lot of money, Shi Qi did not forget his business and went to the county to buy a mobile phone. Although it was a flip phone, it could also record audio and video.

I also bought two pounds of beef and pig's trotters, hoping to improve the diet for Aunt Chen and the children.

Speaking of the kid, she hasn't seen him for several days, and he didn't come here to learn boxing on the weekend.

The system prompts that the child’s blackening value fluctuates, rising from twenty to sixty.

This made Shi Qi a little worried, and he quickened his pace back to the village.

In the past, when I passed by the village entrance, there was nothing there. Today, from a distance, Shi Qi saw that the bridge hole at the entrance of the village was full of people, looking under the bridge hole, talking about something.

Shi Qi was not that curious and wanted to go back quickly.

But a voice made her heart hang in the air and she stopped.

"Hey, it's the Shen family's kid again. Why is he in this ditch? Is he dead?"

Another aunt whispered: "You don't know, Shen Yi, that shameless guy, wanted to sell the child to the casino, and the casino gave him 600 yuan..."

"Six hundred? No matter how much money you offer, you can't sell the child. He's your own child. How can you be so cruel!"

"What about Shen Yi? Isn't the child still here? Hey, he has such serious injuries on his body. Did he escape?"

"Shen Yi? He must have taken the money and gone on to have fun. If he knew the child had run away, he would probably beat him again..."

"Oh, if I sell it to the casino, they will come looking for me. Oh, it's unlucky that I have to hide in this bridge hole. What if I get lured to the village by the gangsters..."

"You are such a cruel woman, the child is so pitiful."

"I'm cruel? You're kind, okay? Then take him home and see if the gangsters will come after you for him."

"..."

There was endless discussion in his ears. Shi Qi clenched his fists, squeezed through the crowd, and lay on the bridge to watch the situation below.

Under the bridge was a smelly garbage dump and a cesspool. The stench was overwhelming. It was drizzling, making the place look even more corrupt and dilapidated.

On the garbage heap next to the stinking ditch, there was a dark figure, his body torn and his clothes had long been stuck to his body. A pair of bloody hands were quietly searching for food on the garbage heap, his eyes were empty.

The discussion of the crowd did not affect him. He just quietly picked up a stinky and rotten loach and stuffed it into his mouth, which made people feel physically uncomfortable and nauseous.

"Oh, no, I can't bear to watch this. I'm going back to cook for the old man. Everyone should go home soon."

It seemed that everyone knew that they were powerless, and the people who were talking were afraid of causing trouble, so they quickly left.

Shi Qi's eyes were filled with soreness, his mouth was trembling, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.

"Little...kid...don't be afraid, I'm here."

It seemed as if the world was quiet, and Shen Jingnian's mouth was filled with the foul smell of blood, which tasted like chewing wax. A clear and beautiful voice came from the sky, making him a little dazed.

He quickly turned his back, not wanting her to see him in such a disgusting and miserable state.

She said she was here and asked him not to be afraid...

afraid?

He is even more afraid now, even more afraid that someone will care about him for no reason...
