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

Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Sterile Cannon Fodder Woman 42

The brigade leader turned his head and glared at the old bachelor, ”Are you here to seize the house too?”

The old bachelor protested, ”Brigade leader, don’t falsely accuse me. I haven’t come to seize the house. I didn’t even lift a hand. I’m well aware of my limits. This is a house that others have built through hard work. Why should it be given to me for free? I’m just here to watch the show.”

He pointed at the Lin siblings, ”It’s them dreaming wildly, thinking that by claiming to be the biological children of Uncle Lin, they can seize the newlywed house of another’s daughter-in-law. Tell me, how is this any different from the bandits of old?”

The old bachelor also shot the Lin siblings a disdainful look.

Don’t think that the old bachelor marrying Treasure Bead meant he treated her like a gem; in fact, the old bachelor disliked Treasure Bead.

Back when Treasure Bead was still in school, every time she saw the old bachelor, it was with a sneer of disdain.

Sometimes, she’d spit at him and curse him as an old beggar.

He may be an old bachelor, but he’s no fool and could easily see Treasure Bead’s disdain for him. Truth is, he didn’t much like the malicious Treasure Bead himself.

If he hadn’t wanted to avoid a feud with the Lin family, he would have confronted them years ago.

But now that Treasure Bead is his wife, he could clown around with her every day, and nobody would dare say anything.

In the countryside, which man doesn’t hit his wife? Even the brigade leader, when he loses his temper, will give his wife a beating.

”You mangy dog, what are you talking about? Who’s the bandit?” Treasure Bead shrieked, ”Every penny of the Lin family’s money was earned by my real father. The house my real dad’s money built, why shouldn’t I live there?”

”I don’t want much; there are two houses here. My brother and I will take one. As for the rest of my dad’s money, my brother and I want a share too.”

Treasure Bead declared confidently, ”Hmph, my real dad was a renowned tailor in town, earning plenty of money every year. That money is now in the hands of these two women, yet my brother and I are his children too, and with my elder brother, the three of us deserve our share of my dad’s property.”

Uncle Lin’s eldest daughter-in-law slapped her thigh while sitting on the ground, wailing, ”Oh dear, brigade leader, this is driving us to desperation. The money for building the house was earned by our men. My husband is a bricklayer, and my brother-in-law is a carpenter. They get work year-round, earning their hard labor money. Don’t say the money wasn’t earned by my father-in-law, but even if it was, so what? You bunch of outcasts think you can claim the inheritance. Pfft... Who gave you the face, so thick-skinned, why not use it to build your yard wall.”

Uncle Lin’s second daughter-in-law also fumed, ”Brigade leader, just say it; these siblings barged in here and scared my kids. Tell us what should be done. If you don’t give us an explanation, we’ll report to the public security bureau. The comrades there will surely punish the bandits coming to seize the house.”

The brigade leader glared at Treasure Bead and Lin Baotian, scolding, ”If you want a house, ask your mother, ask your real father. Don’t go pestering Genzi’s wife and Bamboo’s wife. They owe you nothing.”

With a tired expression, the brigade leader waved his hand, saying, ”Today’s mess is your fault. You’ll each lose twenty work points to compensate them. That’s it. Stop making trouble. Go home and earn your work points. Don’t keep eyeing others’ houses like a jealous chicken. If you want to live in a new house, then work hard and build your own.”

Then he looked at the old bachelor, ”Why haven’t you dragged your wife away yet? Want to stay and be the laughing stock?”
