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

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: The Sold Daughter 26

”Ah, it’s Zhongxin Milk, isn’t it? Those couple from Old Tian Family aren’t human. For sixty yuan of bride price, they arranged for their daughter Laidi to marry an old widower from Ma Village, who beat two wives to death. That old widower is almost forty and could be Laidi’s dad. I heard his son is even a year older than Laidi.”

”Today, the old widower came to pick her up, but Laidi refused to marry no matter what. The couple from Old Tian Family beat their eldest daughter harshly. Oh, what a pitiful sight...”

Yuan Chun heard this and activated her spiritual power, looking into the crowd.

She saw Tian Laidi covered in injuries, lying on the ground, barely breathing. The old widower saw her like this and feared she wouldn’t survive after being taken home, so he demanded the Tian family return the bride price money.

The couple from the Tian family had only one thing to say, ”You can take the person, but there’s no money.”

Bringing home a half-dead person is not only unlucky but also costs sixty yuan, which the old widower was unwilling to accept. The two families quarreled fiercely at the village entrance.

Zhaodi’s mother rolled around on the ground, cursing and crying, refusing to return the money.

An originally festive occasion of picking up a bride turned into an argument.

Yuan Chun quietly approached Tian Zhaodi, whispering, ”Sister Zhaodi, are you just going to let them keep arguing like this?”

Tian Zhaodi smirked, ”Of course not; soon they’ll start fighting.”

In a past life, the scumbag beat her eldest sister to death; she certainly won’t let them off. She’ll let them harm each other like dogs biting dogs.

The three sisters would profit from the situation.

Sure enough, shortly after, the families started fighting.

Originally, it was just a shoving match, but as tempers flared, Zhaodi’s father and the old widower began punching and kicking, fighting to the death.

The old widower delivered a punch to Zhaodi’s father’s chest, causing Zhaodi’s father to collapse, and soon there was no breathing sound.

Zhaodi’s mother saw her husband beaten to death and went mad, pouncing on the old widower with claws, causing the already frightened old widower to push her away.

Zhaodi’s mother fell backward, hitting her head on a stone, dying instantly from the bleeding.

The old widower killed two people in a row, causing chaos over the murder case in Ge Family Village.

The elderly village head rushed over from the fields, hurriedly having the villagers restrain the old widower and sending someone to report to the authorities.

As if awakening, Tian Zhaodi knelt beside her parents’ bodies, crying heart-wrenchingly.

Yuan Chun saw this, her mouth twitching harshly; if she hadn’t known Zhaodi was a Tasker, she might have truly believed Zhaodi was grieving.

Sure enough, as an Advanced Missionary, even her crying acted out vividly.

No one knew how Zhaodi managed it, making the old widower kill the Tian couple without exposing the slightest hint.

Without the Tian couple to suppress them, the days for Zhaodi and her sisters would improve. With earning eight work points daily, they wouldn’t starve anymore.

Nor would they endure daily beatings and curses.

And no more living in fear of being sold off for bride price money.

The timing of the Tian couple’s death was truly convenient.

Half an hour later, two officers arrived at Ge Family Village, taking the old widower away. Half a month later, the old widower faced capital punishment.

The old widower’s family came to cause trouble at the Tian house, wanting to take the recovering Tian Laidi to be a mother to the widower’s two children, but Tian Zhaodi chased them out of the village with a kitchen knife.

Afterward, the widower’s family never dared to bother the Tian sisters again.

Meanwhile, Zhaodi’s notorious reputation spread, causing any local bullies or scheming bachelors eyeing her and her sisters to retreat.

Everyone wants a free bride, but they must live to enjoy it.

If killed, their lives are lost, what use is a bride then?
